Chapter 19: It has been planned for a long time
The farmer comforted: "It's very close, if the Gu carriage arrives in half a day." ”
Mu Jiaren nodded, fortunately it can be recovered, since it is not far away, then she will rest for one night first, today is really too hard, she is already tired and collapsed, and she will leave for Huaixi Town early tomorrow morning.
The food in Zhuangzi is relatively simple, but the amount is sufficient, Mu Jiaren ate two large bowls of three silk noodles, plus five scallion pancakes, which can be regarded as alive.
"The girl has a really good appetite, and it's a blessing to be able to eat." The farmer brought her another bowl of egg drop soup and handed it over, for fear that she would choke.
"I'm a little hungry on the way."
When she was in the sect, the senior brothers with high seniority were sent to the room to eat, and she was served in the big kitchen with other senior brothers, and everyone ate very elegantly, but the speed of cooking must be fast, and in general, it is still necessary to grab it.
Looking at Mu Jiaren's panicked appearance, several ladies smiled on the side: "Eat slowly, and." ”
"Thank you."
Mu Jiaren tore the last half of the oil cake into small pieces, soaked it in egg drop soup, sandwiched a little shredded pickles, snorted and finished eating, and put away the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction.
"Leave it alone, you are Miss Everybody, how can you do these things."
The ladies all stopped her.
"I'm like this, how can I look like a young lady."
"His Royal Highness's food is exclusively provided, and others can't interfere at all, and you can be responsible, so you must be a very close person."
When the Mu family heard this, they felt very relieved and immediately full of enthusiasm.
At this time, a carrier pigeon fell in the palace, and the guards read the content to Beichen Ye.
"Well, since she's in high spirits, let's look at a few more places."
Beichen Ye wrapped the hairband around his hand, thinking about what to do next.
The medicinal materials that Ji Yanxi needed when he was seriously ill were the rumors he released, of course, these medicines were indeed useful for Ji Yanxi's recovery, but they were not to the point of coming back to life, but no one knew about this matter except for the head of the Tianya Pavilion on the clouds.
In order to lure Mu Jiaren to the palace, he used the original favor in exchange for letting Luo Qingchen say that he was looking for medicine.
originally thought that Mu Jiaren was a very complicated woman, but now it seems that she is just a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, so he decided to tease her first, in order to repay her disrespect to him before, and after that, with a little trickery, he must be able to get out of her words.
The next morning, she couldn't take care of the carriage, so she followed the farmer's ox cart to Huaixi Town, but as soon as she arrived at Zhuangzi, she learned that the Tianxiang fruit here had been loaded and sent to the palace yesterday.
Mu Jiaren was shocked, isn't this equivalent to running for nothing?
"Isn't there any other fruit?"
She thought, this is the first thing the prince explains, if it is not done well, she will not be appreciated by the prince, and stealing medicine will be put on the agenda again.
The farmer thought for a while and pointed to the back mountain and said: "I remember that there is a loquat forest on the mountain, and now it is also ripe, I originally wanted to pick some and send it together, but we are not manpowered, everyone is busy, so wait for the next time to send it, if you are in a hurry, it is better to help pick some." ”
"Good!"
Mu Jiaren followed the farmer to the back mountain, and after finding the loquat tree, he began to pick it, and was busy until the evening.
Back at the village, she asked the farmers which fruits were sweeter, and then selected them one by one, wiped them with a large flavor and sweetness, and put them in the bamboo basket.
"Miss Mu is really meticulous, Your Highness will definitely like it." Aunt Zhou said with a smile, she is in her forties this year, she has been working on Zhuangzi, and when she goes to the palace for a hundred years every year, she will also be together, and she can be regarded as an old servant.
"Is it time for the peach blossoms to bloom?" Mu Jiaren thought that now is the best time to make peach blossom wine.
"Yes, the peach blossoms are blooming just right, but we have few peach trees here, if His Royal Highness wants to enjoy the peach blossoms, you can go to Qinghe Town, where peaches are abundant, and the scenery is particularly beautiful when the peach blossoms bloom every year."
"Is Qinghe Town far from here? I want to go and see it first, and if it's really beautiful, I can talk to His Royal Highness the Prince when I go back. ”
"It's not far, it's two days by carriage."
"Are there any better horses in Huaixi Town? I'm riding over, I should be quick. ”
"Yes, but not with the horses of the palace."
Mu Jiaren put the loquat on the Zhuangzi, and before dawn the next day, he rented a horse and rushed to Qinghe Town.
The horses in the town were really not strong on their feet, and it took her a day and a half to get to Qinghe Town.
The peach forest here has a pleasant scenery, Mu Jiaren didn't dare to delay too long, bought some peach nectar, picked some peach blossoms, and immediately rushed back.
Originally, it was stipulated that it would be five days, and Mu Jiaren would come back on the eighth day, Beichen Ye learned that she had gone out for a walk, and she was in a very unbeautiful mood, so she ordered her subordinates to come to see him as soon as Mu Jiaren came back.
"Your Highness, slave maid ......"
"Beauty, do you know how worried I am about you when you are so late?" Beichen Ye frowned, very angry in his heart for Mu Jiaren's assertions.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's the slave's fault." Mu Jiaren wanted to explain, but when she saw Beichen Ye worrying about herself like this, she felt very guilty.
"In the future, you have to do what I say, and you can't decide your itinerary privately, you know?"
Beichen Ye said "earnestly", he felt that if Mu Jiaren committed it again, he wouldn't mind poisoning her to paralyze her for a few days.
"Yes, the slave maid has prepared loquat for His Highness, and each one has been selected, and you can ...... it when you eat it."
"I already know where you've been these days." Beichen Ye gently pushed the rock sugar loquat presented by Mu Jiaren to the side, without any interest.
Seeing the fruit he had worked so hard to get, Beichen Ye didn't even eat a bite, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"There is a place called "Ning Xiutang" on the rivers and lakes, which is responsible for undertaking various bounty tasks in the rivers and lakes, can you go and help me do a task? ”
Beichen Ye's warm voice pulled her thoughts back, and Mu Jiaren came back to her senses and thought about it.
Ning Xiutang She had heard that when she was in the sect before, the senior brothers all went to take over the task, but with the birth of Tianya Pavilion, they all took on extremely difficult tasks, and the rewards they received were all rare treasures, but the master did not advocate these, and it was not necessary to go.
Mu Jiaren was a little strange, there were so many guards in the palace, how could she be chosen to do the task?
"Slave to do a task? What if it fails? ”
"This matter requires a woman to complete, the trusted woman around me is naturally you, Yun Zheng They are not qualified to take on this task."
"Do you have to be picked up by a woman? What is the mission? ”
"The valley master of the Valley of Weapons is a master of deep simplicity, and many people want to ask for weapons, but few people can succeed."
Mu Jiaren nodded, she had also heard of this valley master, some of the weapons of the Tianya Pavilion on the clouds were created by the heads of the previous dynasties in the Weapon Valley, such as Yun Zheng's Lingyun Gong.
"But he only sees people with high status in the rivers and lakes, and my qualifications, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the valley master, let alone ask for weapons."
"Don't be presumptuous, for specific matters, Yun Qian will tell you, I want to know, are you willing to go?"
