The lotus rushed to Xia Zhixue, and Hua Cheng on the side looked jealous, usually this girl had never treated herself like this.

"Miss, Miss......" The lotus ran out of breath, but she didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear that a long-mouthed maidservant in the yard would hear it.

"Slow down!" Xia Zhixue looked up and saw the panting lotus and sighed. This girl will be like this when she touches the slightest thing.

"Say it. And what is it this time? Did the ants in the yard go up the tree or did the sunflower you planted bloom? ”

"Neither." Lotus shook her head and held up the envelope in her hand. "Nineteen Princes......"

Before Lotus's words were finished, Xia Zhixue knew what it meant when she heard the name. Quickly snatched the letter from the lotus. However, there were only a few words on the envelope, "Be careful." If it weren't for such ugly handwriting, only Ouyang Huaiyu would have written it. Xia Zhixue had to wonder if the letter was dropped on the road.

Hua Cheng, who was standing in the courtyard, quietly slipped into the room, "Third Miss, the prince said that you will see it and give him a word back." ”

Xia Zhixue closed the key, thought for a moment and opened her eyes.

"Hua Cheng, you tell Ouyang Huaiyu for me, just say that the road is safe."

Hua Cheng scratched his head, "Gone?" ”

Xia Zhixue nodded, "Hmm." Nope. ”

This Ouyang Huaiyu only gave her a short four words, and she can't suffer a loss, more than four words is definitely not good.

Hua Cheng was obviously a little embarrassed, "Third Miss, we are going to leave early tomorrow morning, and this time, I don't know when we will be able to come back." You don't say a few words anymore? ”

Xia Zhixue shook her head, "Just these four words, the journey is safe." ”

"Oh!" Hua Cheng lowered his head aggrievedly, he didn't expect the third lady to be so arrogant, but it might be himself who went back and was beaten.

Hua Cheng, who carried the news, soon arrived at the palace.

"The letter was delivered?" Ouyang Huaiyu rolled and sat up from the bed, "She...... What was said? ”

"The third lady said to let you have a safe journey."

A moment of silence ensued. Ouyang Huaiyu kept blinking his eyes in anticipation of Hua Cheng's next sentence.

"Uh...... Gone? ”

"Lord Wang, this is the original word." Hua Cheng was also depressed.

"Think about it, have you forgotten something?" Ouyang Huaiyu still had a face full of disbelief.

"It's gone."

Ouyang Huaiyu held his chin and pursed his thin lips, "Have you finished my words?" For example, to find Boss Sun? ”

Hua Cheng spread his hands, and he guessed that the prince would be like this, "I said it, I said it all." ”

Ouyang Huaiyu hung his head, his eyes were dull, and sure enough, he was a dispensable person to her. 67

"But Lord Wang, you only gave Miss Three four words, how can you let the family reply to you?"

Ouyang Huaiyu took a sip of tea and didn't speak. It's not for the sake of your own damn face, you have to die to save face and suffer the crime, of course, you can't say too much, otherwise the disappointment will be even greater.

"Pack your things. Departure tomorrow. ”

Early the next morning, several carriages were parked in the Nineteenth Palace, and the emperor sent three or four loyal courtiers to Ouyang Huaiyu. There are still dozens of retinues left.

On the towering city walls, a golden figure looks out into the distant background.

"Little Nineteen, that's all I can do for you. Don't let me down! ”

The bumps along the way made Ouyang Huaiyu a little uncomfortable, and his stomach churned so that he wanted to vomit. But they had to travel overnight, and the people's food was the source of their livelihood, without which they would have gone hungry at least and lost their lives. The emperor has finally laid down a peaceful and prosperous world, if even the problem of food and clothing for the people cannot be solved, then the emperor will soon be pulled down. Therefore, the arduousness and pressure of this task, Ouyang Huaiyu is very clear in his heart.

With his eyes closed and he didn't know how long it took, Hua Cheng lifted the curtain of the carriage.

"Lord Wang, we have arrived."

Ouyang Huaiyu, who was woken up, blinked, and then jumped out of the carriage.

What caught my eye was a mansion that was not too big, and a subordinate in a green robe walked up to Ouyang Huaiyu and put on a "please" posture.

"The nineteenth prince is well, this is the place where the emperor can arrange for you, if there is anything wrong with the arrangement, just tell me, my surname is Bai, you can call me Bai Butler."

Ouyang Huaiyu nodded, and followed Butler Bai directly to his residence. Ouyang Huaiyu, who has always recognized the bed a little, fell asleep when he saw his wooden bed upside down. Hua Cheng didn't bother to give Ouyang Huaiyu orders to wash, and after sorting out his things, he came to his house and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Ouyang Huaiyu picked up Hua Cheng, who was still playing chess with Zhou Gong in his dreamland, and first came to the wheat field.

It will be the harvest season in a few days, but Ouyang Huaiyu did not see the golden wheat seedlings. In contrast, there are several locusts that are still eating the rice fields.

"Hua Cheng, catch that."

Hua Cheng retreated behind Ouyang Huaiyu with an arrow. "Wang ...... Lord, that one will bite. ”

Ouyang Huaiyu found a cloth bag out of nowhere, and before Hua Cheng could see it clearly, Ouyang Huaiyu walked over with a bulging cloth bag. And then threw a cold sentence,

"What do you want?"

Hua Cheng pursed his lips and took the cloth bag in Ouyang Huaiyu's hand. From time to time, a small head popped out of the cloth bag, and it was the caught locusts struggling to hit it with its head, seeking a way out.

"Don't open it easily, or it will really bite you. When it runs out of strength, hand it over to the Imperial Doctor to study and study countermeasures. ”

Hua Cheng held the locust in the palm of his hand like holding a treasure, and there were bursts of impact in the palm of his hand from time to time, and Hua Cheng's heart was also beaten one after another, for fear that the locusts would accidentally break through the cloth bag and come out to take revenge.

Back at the mansion, Ouyang Huaiyu instructed Hua Cheng to hand over the cloth bag to the imperial doctor, but he went to the people to investigate the situation. As expected, the streets are full of clusters of old people with children. The autumn wind is already a little cool, but some old people are still wearing thin summer cloth shirts. Also, hunger can't be solved for the time being, so who cares about getting dressed?

In the distance, Ouyang Huaiyu looked around, and a group of people with crutches or children were knocking on a mansion that looked very charming. But no matter how much they knocked, they couldn't change the fact that the door was closed. For a while, shouting, crying, and even some foul language were mixed in. Ouyang Huaiyu approached and patted one of the people on the shoulder, "Old man, may I ask what you are doing here?" ”

The old man who was accosted looked Ouyang Huaiyu up and down, and his eyes were always vigilant. "Seeing that you are dressed so well, it can't be Liu Yuanwai's son, right?"

Ouyang Huaiyu waved his hand, "I'm passing by here nearby, and it's quite lively here." Ouyang Huaiyu finally didn't want to reveal his identity too early.
