Chapter 44: Arriving in the capital

Although it was a field trip, the time chosen by the two was not very good. Most of the sheep farmers have just shaved their sheep, and they are not long, so they can only listen to the length of the sheep owner as a reference. Fortunately, these people didn't know the original intention of Zhao Youqian's inquiry, so they didn't exaggerate.

After searching for more than 20 days, I only took a fancy to seventeen or eighteen sheep, with different sizes and slightly different breeds. The more sheep there are, the more difficult it is to bring, Zhao Youqian bought a cage cart, locked more than a dozen sheep in it, and bought a black horse to drag the cage cart all the way home.

To say that Sun Siyuan was most satisfied with going out this time, it was not the sheep she bought, but the sweet potatoes found in Taiping County.

The cultivation of sweet potatoes in this world has a history of many years, but the utilization is not comprehensive. Sweet potatoes are usually roasted and children love to eat; or wash it and steam it on the pot, so that it can be eaten as a cake; People cut sweet potatoes into slices, dried them and stored them for a long time, and they are also considered an ingredient in porridge.

However, these are only the most basic ways to eat, and sweet potato flour is the most important way to use sweet potatoes.

Sweet potato flour is the easiest ingredient to thicken soup, and just a little bit can make the soup very thick. Sweet potato flour is also the raw material of vermicelli, sweet potato flour can be turned into vermicelli after a series of processing with water. Thinking about all kinds of delicious food made with vermicelli, Sun Siyuan closed her eyes and smiled, what a delicious thing, it's a pity that people in this world haven't eaten it!

Sun Siyuan thought that when it was October, she would go to Taiping County and rent a place there to harvest sweet potatoes. Hire some people, use stone mills and dense cotton nets to refine sweet potato flour, dry it and bring it back to eat at home. It's a free teaching of the use of sweet potatoes, well, when the sweet potato dregs are gone, just give them to make feed, people in this world shouldn't know that sweet potato dregs can make wine, right?

When Zhao Youqian and his wife drove a horse and dragged the cart home, they found that there were many people in the family. The old acquaintance village elder recognized Zhao Youqian from afar, and rushed up without waiting for Zhao Youqian to get out of the car.

"Where have you been rich, the lord from the capital has been looking for you for several days!" The village chief hurriedly spoke. Isn't it, a few days ago, a noble man came to the capital, accompanied by the county official, looking for Zhao Youqian and his wife. But these two people didn't know where to go, and the county sent some people out to look for them, but they couldn't find them.

If it weren't for Mrs. Gu's insistence that the two of them were just going out for a walk, they would definitely come back. The village chief thought that the two men had committed something, and absconded in fear of the crime.

This "nobleman" in the capital is also impatient, there is no "father-in-law and eunuch" in this world, he is a little slave who runs errands in the palace, but after all, it is an errand assigned by the emperor, he rushed to this place day and night, for fear of delaying the emperor's kung fu, but these two people told him to wait!

The accompanying county official is the second-in-command in the county, and he has a good relationship with Brother Gu, and he is not bad to Zhao Youqian and his wife. He politely asked the "nobleman" to pass on the decree, this old man has long lost the mind of putting on a shelf, and he can't wait to return to Beijing immediately after announcing the decree.

"Zhao Youqian and Sun Siyuan took the order." The eldest lord took out a small piece of paper, which was very different from the golden scroll in Sun Siyuan's imagination, and she couldn't help but think, this emperor is quite thrifty?

She didn't know that the holy decree of the golden silk scroll did exist, but it was not easy to send it, and ordinary people like her did not have that kind of "grace".

She was still thinking nonsense, but when she saw that the village chief and the others had already knelt down, and they were still squeezing their eyebrows at her, she thought about it, oh, you still have to kneel? No way, kneel!

Pulling Zhao Youqian together, she knelt down respectfully, she was quite happy in her heart, "The emperor's grace is vast", the village chief and others also knelt down with the emperor.

"Xuan Zhao is rich, Sun Siyuan, enter the palace in Beijing on the same day, there must be no mistakes, Qin this!"

"Huh?" Not only Sun Siyuan, but everyone was stunned, not understanding what the truth of this holy decree was.

After a long while, the eldest man frowned and reminded, "Zhao has money, take the order." “

Zhao Youqian was stunned and read: "The grass people take the order." He took the holy decree from the eldest master's hand, and he knew every word on it, but he didn't understand it.

Entering Beijing on the same day, there must be no mistake, and after receiving the holy decree, he and his wife are about to enter Beijing and enter the palace? In the end, why, is it ......

Zhao Youqian's thoughts are difficult to calm down, Sun Siyuan is even more excited, Zhao Youqian's life experience, she knows, is there going to be trouble in the palace?

"Master, this is very far away from the capital, can I take care of things at home first, and then go on the road with the master?" Sun Siyuan stuffed the silver ingots into the old man's hand, and the old man looked at the sheep in the cage cart, and pinched the silver in his hand, "You hurry up!" “

Next, Sun Siyuan was busy non-stop, first signed a deed with the widow Wang to raise sheep, and then explained the matter of the new sheepfold to the Shu family to help, the taste hall was too late to take care of it, packed up the family's silver, put a large sum into the space, wrapped a small amount in the package, packed the clothes, and the two of them were counted.

The eldest lord himself came by carriage, and at this time, seeing that Sun Siyuan and Zhao Youqian had their own carriage, they didn't want to prepare anymore, but they were also happy and relaxed, beckoned the two to follow, and drove the horses away. Zhao Youqian commanded Xiaobai to follow.

The eldest lord did things for the palace and didn't dare to slack off, he didn't know what the emperor was calling the two of them, so he was quite good at talking. But it's lifeless to rush, this point is not negotiable, Sun Siyuan and the others have no choice but to follow all the way. The eldest master changed horses at the post station, and the two of them were reluctant to work hard for Xiaobai, so they could only work hard all the way, Sun Siyuan privately fed Xiaobai a lot of space-growing plants, although he supported Xiaobai's physical strength, but his spirit was getting worse and worse.

After twenty days of travel, we finally arrived in the capital.

"You two can settle down in this capital, I will enter the palace first to reply to the emperor, tomorrow the two of you will arrive at Jiaying Gate at seven o'clock, I will pick you two up there and enter the palace, don't you dare to be so dusty!"

Sun Siyuan understood, the relationship is not to let them rest, but to let them wash away, don't stink the emperor?

opened a room in the inn and handed Xiaobai to Xiao Er, I don't know what the situation will be when she enters the palace tomorrow, she paid Xiao Er another one or two silver, and only told him that if she doesn't come back for a while, please take good care of Xiao Bai.

Zhao Youqian only opened one room, Sun Siyuan didn't fight with him, anyway, they were all in the same bed at home. It's just that it's not very convenient to take a bath, so you have to wash them one by one. When she was taking a bath, Zhao Youqian wanted to stay in the house and not leave, but she kicked him out.

At night, lying in bed, Zhao Youqian fell asleep, but she couldn't sleep. She thought about it for a long time, and she didn't understand how to protect the two of them, the heart of the superior, who knows what she was thinking? If the emperor wants to get rid of Zhao Youqian, then what to do?

After thinking about it for a long time, she thought of a way that was not a solution, she said to Zhao Youqian that she was the person chosen by the immortals, can she use it again now? If she can deceive the emperor, then it is best, if the emperor insists on making trouble, it is a big deal, she takes Zhao Youqian and hides in the space.

Do what you want, she glanced at the sleeping Zhao Youqian, tucked the quilt, and entered the space.

But she didn't know that after she entered the space, Zhao Youqian opened his eyes and looked at the pillow on the left......
