Chapter 185: Melting Snow
Du Yunluo felt a sense of intimacy when she saw Yunqi.
Walking to the side of the horse, Du Yunluo reached out and patted the horse's neck gently.
The horses are extremely docile, neighing lowly, but with an intimacy for people.
Du Yunluo liked it very much, especially when she thought that this horse was chosen by Mu Lianxiao for her, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips.
Turning her head, Du Yunluo asked, "What's its name?" ”
Yunqi lowered his eyes and said: "This horse has not yet been named, the prince said that it will be the girl's horse in the future, and the name should be taken by the girl." ”
Du Yunluo pursed her lips and nodded slightly, rubbed her fingertips back and forth on the white mane on the horse's neck, and said with a smile: "It's called Xueyi." ”
It was as white as if it were dressed in snow.
"Thank you for me." After Du Yunluo finished speaking, seeing that Yunqi responded, he asked again, "What about the prince?" Do you want to enter the palace today? ”
Yunqi said: "The prince has gone to De'an, and it will take about ** days." ”
Du Yunluo was stunned when she heard this.
She didn't hear Mu Lianxiao mention it yesterday, why did she suddenly go to De'an?
In this way, even during the Qingming Festival, Mu Lianxiao was on the way, and he couldn't kowtow to the ancestors.
The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion attaches great importance to such days as Qingming and Zhongyuan, if Mu Lianxiao has no military orders, he stays in the mansion, and after seven or eight days of work, when he comes back, it is a paddock hunting, and after the hunting, he will go to Lingxi for two months.
It's just too hard.
Du Yunluo thought about it, and said, "When did you leave?" ”
"In the morning, the prince was summoned to the imperial study, and when he came back, he packed his things and set off, and before leaving, he asked the servant to bring the horse to the girl, saying that there was no way to teach the girl to ride a horse these days." Yunqi 1510 Dao.
Du Yunluo raised her eyebrows, she was so anxious to go to De'an.
Yunqi sent the horse, received the reward and left.
Du Yunluo took some horse grass from the stable and fed it to the snow suit herself.
The snow suit was very pleasant, her nose was humming, and her snort was all sprayed on Du Yunluo's hands.
Du Yunluo felt interesting, couldn't help laughing, raised her eyes and saw that Du Yunlang's expression was slightly dignified, and said strangely: "Second brother, what's wrong?" ”
Du Yunlang hesitated for a moment and said: "There was originally a batch of goods from De'an to the capital, and before it arrived, my father sent someone to urge it, and the person who went came back a few days later, saying that there was something wrong with the official road from De'an to the capital, and the convoy could not be passed by riding, and the convoy was not good, so the goods were delayed." My father said to wait, and until yesterday, there was still no news. ”
Du Yunluo frowned, what does the official mean that the situation is out? Act of God? **?
In the past spring, she was closed in Anhua Hospital, and she didn't know a lot of things outside, and she really couldn't recall anything by relying on this little information at this time.
Since Du Yunlang has already opened his mouth, he said as it was: "This winter, there have been several heavy snowfalls in De'an, and it has not been cleaned up since the beginning of spring. ”
Snowmelt, mud, official roads?
Du Yunluo had some vague thoughts, but she couldn't grasp them for a while, so she could only give up.
Du Yunluo couldn't practice at home, and naturally he wouldn't enter the palace, so he handed over the snow clothes to the stables to take care of them, and went back to the inner courtyard by himself.
In the afternoon, there was a rain, the spring rain lingered, Du Yunluo lay on the couch and fell asleep, half-dreaming and half-awake, a spirit, but remembered.
Although she had never left Du Mansion in her previous life, she had actually heard about De'an.
In mid-March, the snow melted, and the mud and rocks blocked the official road, and the government yamen has been rushing to clean up, but the results are not significant.
At the end of the month, it rained heavily for several days, and the river, which had risen due to snow, became more and more difficult to accommodate this sudden amount of water, and the small city built along the water was almost submerged in water, and the fragile mountain landslide again, not only blocking the official road, but also burying several villages at the foot of the mountain outside the city.
Some of the goods in the Du family's shop came from De'an, and under such a natural disaster, the goods in the capital were cut off.
Although the Du family is an official, where is there enough money to make this big family eat and dress well, and the money is earned back by the shops and Zhuangzi everywhere.
asked De'an to delay the goods, so as not to make the Du family hurt their bones, with the Du family's background, it is to close the shop, without Zhuangzi, only eat surplus grain can eat for a year, not to mention the family background.
But Du Huaiping is a businessman, and if there is a problem with the way to make money, he is not comfortable, so he is so anxious that he goes around the house every day, and asks Mrs. Xia to train him twice.
Du Yunluo was also there at that time, so she had some impressions of this matter.
In this way, the previous mud and rocks blocked the official road, and the saint was not particularly concerned, and it was handled by the local officials, but suddenly the rainstorm poured into the city, and the saint knew the news at night, so he couldn't wait to let Mu Lianxiao go.
Du Yunluo turned over on the couch.
If you want her to say that the situation in De'an City, the people from the Ministry of Industry should be in the past, and Mu Lianxiao can march and fight, but she is not a talent for water control.
But the saint loves to use him, and often lets him run ahead, for a while in the east of the Lingdong and a while in the west of the Lingxi.
Du Yunluo pursed her lips, even though she complained a little to the saint, she didn't dare to say a word.
She was more worried about Mu Lianxiao.
The official road is blocked by mud and rocks, and you can still ride through guò alone, but now the snow is even worse, and this road must be even more difficult.
If the water in De'an did not recede, it would be difficult for Mu Lianxiao to walk.
Still, someone has to go.
If the official road is not dug through, how can those big men in the Ministry of Industry go to De'an? None of the rescuers could enter De'an, let alone take care of the villages outside the city.
Thinking of this, Du Yunluo felt that what Yunqi said about seven or eight days was too optimistic, if Mu Lianxiao participated in the whole process, it would be possible for half a month and a month, that is, he would not even be able to catch up with the hunting.
It's just that De'an has a problem, and I don't know if the itinerary of the Shengshang's hunting will change.
These memories of Du Yunluo were confirmed in the Lotus Garden.
In the afternoon, the crown prince Li Ke invited Du Gongfu into the palace, and Du Gongfu only went to give a lecture to the imperial grandson, but he was directly invited to the imperial study.
Du Huaiping was still worried about the supply of goods, and Mrs. Xia couldn't see him sighing, so she opened her mouth and said a few words to him.
Du Huaili did not go home for dinner.
Although he is a member of the Ministry of Rites, he has a lot of experience in water conservancy, and he was called by the Ministry of Industry to come up with an idea.
After a day like this, even Du Huaien went out early and returned late.
Mrs. Xia seized the opportunity to ask him, saying that he didn't know about water conservancy, and only knew the work in the Taifu Temple, so why couldn't he be idle?
Du Wyan's answer was reasonable, but also somewhat unexpected.
The plan of the saint to go to the enclosure has not changed, and the Taifu Temple has been idle for the past few days, and they are all preparing for this hunt.
Du Yunluo was stunned, De'an's situation was still unclear, but the saint had not changed his itinerary at all? (To be continued.) )
