Du Yi had never seen the person Ziyi City had arranged for her, but she vaguely felt that there should be a lot of people. If she wants to go to the capital this time, those people will at least have to come out and let her meet her.
"Okay, but they're all used to it, the girl can see it and recognize someone!"
Ziding knew that Du Yi had two groups of people around her to protect her, and it had been a few years. Whenever Ling Yuanfan came, he found that there would be changes. She didn't tell Doe about this, lest she be overwhelmed. Since Du Yi has proposed to meet the secret guards of Ziyi City, it doesn't hurt to let them come out and see it.
There are a total of six secret guards given to Du Yi in Ziyi City, three men and three women, all of whom are around twenty years old. Du Yi was not surprised that these people seemed to be headed by Bai Mei and Zi Ding.
Baimei Ziding was also sent to her by Ziyi City, and they were her personal girls, and it was normal for these people to take them as the leader. But that's fine, on the way to the capital, there are eight masters, and she is not afraid that something will happen.
After Du Ling's family returned to the town, he didn't delay for a moment and set off for the capital. She can't afford to delay now, there is not much silver that can be used in the house, and the shop is now in a recession, and she is losing money every month. If this continues, all the industries of Du Mansion will be lost.
She wanted to go to the capital as soon as possible and ask her aunt to think of a way for her to solve the current embarrassing situation. On the side of the six princes, they can't rely on it for the time being, so they can only protect themselves.
However, it is only a little more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and it is not impossible to take advantage of this time to turn the book. Of course, this premise must also have operational funds, and this fund must not be less.
Thinking of this, Du Lingshi glanced back at her daughter, who was spreading Miss Sa's temper, and sighed lowly. The fastest source of this funding is the bride price. Her daughter has also grown up, and if she goes to the capital, she can find a good marriage for her.
After Du Lingshi and the others set off from Crescent Town to Fucheng, it began to rain in the Purple Moon Country, which had not rained for a long time. This time, it was two days, from the initial drizzle to the final downpour, which completely irrigated the entire Purple Moon Country.
Compared with the difficulty of Du Lingshi and the others, Du Yi and the others went out on vacation and traveled, taking Ziding and others, a total of four big carriages, staggering in the direction of the capital. One was filled with sundries, one was Baimei Ziding and they slept at night, the other one she lived with Xiaoshuai Liu, and the last one was used by her master, Dr. Che.
The route she took was different from that of the Du Ling clan, and it was not good for her to arrive at the Hou Mansion early. Now it's best to take a little detour.
On the carriage, in addition to the necessary winter clothes, all kinds of food are also prepared, and even pots and pans. Before Du Yi left, he asked Yu Ziheng's people to transport chestnuts to various places to feed the victims of the disaster, and a small part of them was left behind, and she was brought to the capital this time.
"It's raining so well, but luckily we're well prepared, otherwise we'd be cold to death if we're sleeping out like this!" Du Yi sat in the carriage and listened to the sound of the rain hitting the carriage, and sighed!
The outside of the carriage was wrapped in oilcloth by Doy. At first, she was not to prevent rain, but she was afraid of the wind in winter, but she did not expect to encounter heavy rain.
It is said that there is an autumn rain and a cold, not to mention that it has already entered the winter moon. Originally, because of the drought, the weather was warm, but now that it rains, it has become a lot colder in an instant.
"Yes, it is estimated that it will get colder and colder in the past two days. This year's down jackets should be easier to sell, I don't know how much they have prepared for recruiting brothers! ”
Duyi's down jacket industry earns the silver of rich and noble families, and the colder the day, the easier the down jacket is to sell. But if it gets cold on this day, the life of those people will be sad again. I hope that the donated clothes will help them. It's just that there are so many victims, how many can they help?
The down jacket industry has a share of Yu Ziheng, no, it should be said that there is a share of Ziyi City, Yu Ziheng will naturally be concerned, and Du Yi is relieved.
Due to the size of the carriage and the rain outside, Du Yi couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up and said, "Bai Mei, you and Ziding come to rest with us, and let them all go in and rest in the vacated carriage." As for the three men, squeeze them with my master! ”
Four large carriages, the one with the sundries that Doy gave the coachman to sleep with, and now they could only squeeze in.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and Duidui felt bitterly cold just by hearing the sound of the rain. Du Yi admired those secret guards very much, they were always dressed in thin black, as if they didn't know what hot and cold were.
"Yes, Miss!" Bai Mei and Ziding couldn't sleep when they heard the sound outside. Although I know that these are nothing to the dark guard, I just feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, the carriage is big enough, and it is no problem to sleep three or four people in one or two carriages.
These carriages were prepared by Yu Ziheng for her, and there were a lot of hidden compartments. Du Yi had made a lot of candle preparations for this trip, and now they all came in handy.
After her words fell, Liu got up, lit the candle, and put the small table in the middle of the carriage into a large dark compartment in the carriage. After shaking the two quilts he had covered, and after laying them out, he spread the down jackets worn by himself and Du Yi in the middle, waiting for Bai Mei and Ziding to come over.
After a while, he heard a sparse sound, because the rain was too loud, Du Yi didn't hear what they were saying, and after a while, he saw Bai Mei and Ziding coming.
"Miss!" The two of them came with umbrellas, but the clothes on their bodies were still a lot wet, and even their sideburns were a little damp.
"Come in, are they willing?" As early as the beginning of the rain, Doe told them to rest in the carriage, but they refused.
If it weren't for the fact that the rain was getting heavier and heavier today, and the dripping hands felt biting cold, Du Yi would not have let Bai Mei scream again.
"Well, Mr. Che's side has also been arranged, and they asked me to say thank you to Miss!" Ziding and Bai Mei patted the rain on their bodies and did not enter the carriage immediately. Instead, he stood at the doorway, and after a while, he went in.
When they arrived in the carriage, Doe saw that their clothes were dry, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Four people and a child lay side by side in the carriage, listening to the sound outside the carriage, Du Yi felt extremely grounded, and soon fell asleep. Bai Mei and Zi Ding's martial arts are high, and if there is any movement, they will protect them at any time, and there is no need for Du Yi to worry about it at all.
The next morning, when Doe got up, the rain had already stopped. In the air, there was a coldness that made her shiver. At this moment, she was once again extremely glad that she had brought enough things, otherwise she would have been unable to sleep in the cold last night.
"Mother, are you awake? Mama said to eat! ”
Xiao Shuai's voice sounded outside the carriage, and Du Yi hurriedly said, "Get up, come right away!" ”
After Du Yi tidied up, he got out of the carriage, and he couldn't help shivering coldly, and quickly tightened the clothes on his body, thought about it, climbed into the carriage again, found his down jacket, and put it on his body.
"Mother, there is something delicious, if you don't come, you won't have it!" The handsome child, after seeing Bai Mei making noodles and taking a deep breath, couldn't help but shout.
Although the food they make is not as delicious as that made by their mothers, the handsome children are not picky eaters at all. As long as it can be in his mouth, he calls it delicious.
"It's coming, it's coming!" After Du Yi got dressed, he carefully took care of his surroundings. Maybe it's just because of the drought, or it's winter, in short, you can't see the green trees, and everything is withered and yellow as far as the eye can see.
The flour used to make the noodles was brought by Duyi, and even the meat and vegetables in the noodles were all dried goods. Du Yi and the others ate a little casually, and after filling their stomachs, they continued on the road.
In each carriage, Doe piled up a lot of grain. She didn't know how long it would take to get to the capital this way, how much food she would have to consume, but she had brought everything she could.
On the seventh day of the lunar month, Du Yi felt that when Xi City was in the city, the holy decree of upgrading Crescent Town to Crescent City had been delivered, and from then on, there would be no Crescent Town in this Purple Moon Country, and there would be more Crescent City and Liujia Town.
Because of this, a few people in the yamen were ecstatic, they thought it was a good political achievement before, but they didn't expect it to be so big. The village chief even asked the firecrackers that had been prepared to be lit to celebrate this joyful event together.
The holy decree was enshrined by the village chief in Liujia Village, no, in the ancestral hall of Liujia Town. The village chief gathered all the villagers and said, "From today onwards, we will be Liujia Town. I'd like to discuss with you how about setting up a plaque at the entrance of the town and Crescent City, what do you think? In addition, I would like to make some money together to repair the road to the city. Since Qijiazhuang has opened the river, let's dig the river bigger, dig deeper, and set up a wharf there. In the future, if we want to transport the things from our factory, they will not be used for the boss's effort, so that it will be convenient for everyone to go wherever they go! ”
The Qiao couple are Du Yi's left and right arms, and she has already handed over all the things from Crescent Town to them to deal with. When Qiao Shi heard this, she felt that it was feasible. Whether it is to build a wharf or build a road, she is willing to give money. Of course, this is Doe's money, and she feels that in the long run, it is to save Doe's money.
"The village chief, I agree, I will pay ten taels of silver from my own family, and on the other hand, I will pay six hundred taels for the girl. But there is a premise, this pier will be used by our girl in the future, and other people and ships can also be used. But every time you have to pay money, you have to pay the silver, and it belongs to our girl! ”
The village chief didn't even think about it, so he agreed. It seemed to him that now it was all brought to him by Doe. If there was no Duyi, there would be no Liujiazhen today. And now Liujia Village, which has become a town, should not be said that many families in Liujia Town work for Duyi and earn a lot of money. This is also a reasonable thing for Du Yi to use.
"Village Chief, don't think about it so quickly, just think about it. Our girl's money cannot be in vain. Of course, there must be a return on the money that goes out, right? For now, the first few years will not be able to get back to basics. ”
Qiao's words are also clear to everyone. If you want to invest money to build a town, you need a lot of money, and there is no report in the short term. If it is developed, it will be no problem for a long time.
"Since it's a town, it's not enough to rely on these people in our town. As the girl said, attract people to come and invest. As long as our side develops, then everything is not a problem. ”
The village chief thought about taking out a loan to build it, but it was not feasible now. What should happen at the moment, everything will be talked to when Doe returns.
Perhaps because it had been raining for several days in a row, when Du Yi passed by Xicheng, all he saw were people who were dressed in tatters and shivering from the cold.
Liu frowned, these people are even more pitiful than when she took Du Yi to escape. There is no harvest this year, and the family must have eaten all the food, so what will happen next?
The carriage stopped in front of the Yi Ji Restaurant in Xicheng, and Du Yi took Xiao Shuai and entered the restaurant first. When I saw the lively exchanges in the restaurant, and then turned my head to look at the people who knew how to tremble outside the door, I sighed incomparably. Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which describes the current scene, right?
"Girl, how many?" The shopkeeper saw Du Yi coming in with someone and stepped forward to greet him politely.
Du Yi glanced at Bai Mei and said, "Tell your shopkeeper to come out!" ”
During this time, there were many people who looked at the business of Yi Ji Restaurant and came to find trouble, Xiao Er listened to Du Yi's words, his face stiffened, and he said in a rough voice: "If you come to eat, this restaurant is welcome." If you come to find fault, then Hugh will blame us for being rude! ”
Lively restaurants, you come and go, especially when approaching the Laba Festival. There are also a lot of rich people in this Xi City, and there are all kinds of fresh vegetables and meat in Yiji Restaurant, and even the rice is new rice this year, you must know that it is very difficult to eat. After hearing Xiao Er's voice, there was a moment of effort, and the scene was quiet.
Bai Mei took out a waist card, and when Xiao Er looked at it, his face changed again: "A few come with me!" ”
Du Yi and the others were taken to the inner courtyard behind the restaurant, Xiao Er was still very arrogant before, after entering the inner courtyard, his face changed again, he bowed his head and bent over and said: "The owner, please wait a moment, the shopkeeper will come immediately!" ”
"No, we'll rest here for the night, and you go get something to eat. In addition, I told the shopkeeper that all the leftovers on the dinner table were left, and each dish was classified in one place. When the restaurant closes, distribute these things to those poor people! ”
Du Yi came this way, and when she saw that those people were having a hard time, her heart also hurt. In winter, there is no food or drink, cold and hungry, and in the end there is only a dead end. If those leftovers can save some people, why not do it, that is, it is a convenient thing.
Although Du Yi said that there was no need for the shopkeeper to come, it took less than a quarter of an hour for the shopkeeper to come over with the store's latest signature dish, chestnut chicken.
"The owner came, but the subordinates couldn't welcome him from afar, and asked the owner to forgive him!"
When Du Yi saw the shopkeeper, his eyes changed, and he did not speak. The shopkeeper knew that he had committed a big taboo, so he said: "Subordinate Li Zhao has seen the owner!" ”
Hearing Du Yi, who reported his home, he exhaled. It's okay, it's not too stupid!
