Return to Zhao's house
Due to the large number of people and goods, the group walked on the road for nearly a month before arriving in Daqing City.
In the past month, Zhao Sichen has been getting along with more than a dozen herdsmen in the north.
When she had nothing to do, she taught everyone to speak official language.
She taught well and was very patient, and by the time she arrived in Daqing City 20 days later, the shepherd had no problem communicating many everyday words.
Among this group of herdsmen, in addition to the young man who treated her very warmly on the grassland, the little girl who fought with her to win Wei Qianlang was also there.
After the exchange, Zhao Sichen knew that the little girl was called "Zhuoma", and the extremely enthusiastic young man was called "Jiancuo". Other men are either called Duoji or Mu Chi, which is very different from the Wei people's names, and it is very interesting.
Although Zhuoma and Zhao Sichen had a dispute, after getting along in the past few days, Zhuoma found that Zhao Sichen was very knowledgeable and gave her a lot of advice.
Zhao Sichen also found that Zhuoma was simple and extremely simple.
The two of them get along very well.
Soon, the group approached Daqing City.
It was nearly August, and the weather in Daqing City was warm up early.
On this day, Zhao Sichen sat in the carriage and chatted with Zhuoma, using ribbons to help Zhuoma braid her hair.
A man suddenly sprang out of the grass next to the pipe.
"Huh?!" Sitting on the horses at the front of the team, he quickly reined in and said with some dissatisfaction: "You man, reckless! Almost hit you! β
The man waved his hand at Jiancuo and shouted: "Miss, Miss, Miss!" β
Zhao Sichen heard a familiar voice, and looked at it: "Li Youcai?!! β
Li Youcai trotted forward and came to the carriage where Zhao Sichen was sitting: "Miss, I've finally waited for you!" β
Zhao Sichen hadn't seen Li Youcai for a long time, but he was also happy, and said with a smile: "Didn't you let you study with Xuan Fugui and be in charge of the account book?" How do you have time to hang out? β
"Ouch, Miss, you have wronged me! Where am I hanging out, I am waiting for you here! β
Li Youcai shouted first, and then explained: "With my ingenuity, learning the account book and sorting out the business, it's not a very simple thing, I can get started in three days."
Besides, business matters? Or is the eldest lady important? β
Zhao Sichen shook his head with a smile and asked, "How many days have you waited?" β
"It's been five days!" Li Youcai said: "Miss, you asked the Sun family to bring a letter last time, saying that you still have to stay in Beicheng for two more months. β
"We estimate the date, you will probably return to Daqing City in a few days, so I came here early to wait for you."
Zhao Sichen asked: "In the letter, I asked you to find a meadow suitable for cattle on the outskirts of the city, did you find it?" β
Li Youcai said: "It's not difficult-"
A narrow smile appeared on Li Youcai's face, and he said, "Last time I went to an essential oil workshop in the suburbs, I happened to meet Tian Li coming to visit Sister Mandarin Duck, so I asked in passing. β
The fields are conducive to generations of flower farmers, and they are most familiar with the fields on the outskirts of Daqing City.
Li Youcai went to ask him, and he asked the right person.
Li Youcai continued: "Tian Li said that he happened to meet a family, the family has hundreds of acres of thin fields left by their ancestors, at the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the city, the fields are not flat, and there is no food, but the grass is very lush, and it is most suitable for planting grass and raising cattle, so I leased it at a price of two hundred taels a yearββ"
Zhao Sichen nodded and said, "This price is reasonable." Lead the way. β
Zhao Sichen turned around and saw more than a dozen herdsmen with deep eyes and high noses, strange clothes, although there were customs clearance documents given by Yang Junshou, but the group of people was mighty and powerful, and when they entered Daqing City, they were afraid that they would be too eye-catching.
Therefore, it was decided at the moment that the soldiers would be divided into two ways.
The caravan pulling the goods entered Daqing City first to unload the goods.
And Li Youcai took Zhuoma, Jiancuo and his party, as well as more than 20 cows behind everyone, to the grassland on the outskirts of the city that had just been leased.
Zhuoma and Zhao Sichen have been together day and night for a month, and when they want to separate from Zhao Sichen at first glance, they can't help but be a little reluctant.
The little girl blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Zhao Sichen pitifully.
Zhao Sichen smiled and touched the little girl's head: "You go and settle down first-aren't there a few cows that are going to give birth to calves?" You have to take care of them. β
When the little girl heard that Zhao Sichen had given her such a big task, she nodded heavily and agreed.
With other things to do, the little girl suddenly forgot about her parting.
Li Youcai took Zhuoma and Jiancuo and his party to the grassland on the outskirts of the city.
Zhao Sichen entered the gate of Daqing City with the caravan.
After two months of absence, seeing the bustling crowd of people coming and going in Daqing City, Zhao Sichen actually missed a little.
Entering the gate of Daqing City, the sun has been slightly slanted.
Zhao Sichen asked the caravan to go directly to the shops in the west of the city to find Xuan Fugui, and he left a carriage and coachman, and went to Luohua Lane with the gifts he personally selected in Beicheng.
As soon as he approached the gate of Zhao's house, he smelled the familiar aroma of food overflowing the walls of Zhao's house.
Zhao Sichen took a breath and a smile appeared on his face.
It's Sister Yunbi's craftsmanship, and what she makes today is stir-fried pork slices with chili peppers and stewed lotus root pork rib soup.
The groom drove the carriage smoothly to the gate of Zhao's house, "shouted", tightened the reins, and stopped the horses.
The groom jumped out of the carriage and was about to knock on the door.
With a "squeak", the door of Zhao's house opened.
Zhao Zhufei stood alone in the door, his face was still solemn, but his eyes revealed joy.
Zhao Sichen pursed his lips and smiled, and shouted, "Uncle Zhao." β
Zhao Zhufei didn't speak, just nodded slightly, but a very shallow smile appeared on his always wooden face.
He has the highest martial arts skills and excellent ear power.
As early as when the carriage entered Luohua Alley, it was already noticed.
I just thought it was someone passing by at first.
Until the carriage stopped at the gate of Zhao's house-
Zhao Zhufei's heart moved, he didn't care to say anything, left from the dining table, came to the gate in a few steps, and opened the door-
Sure enough, I saw Zhao Sichen's little face.
Zhao Sichen greeted Zhao Zhufei with a smile and jumped out of the carriage.
An exclamation came from inside the door, "Miss is back!" β
It was Sister Yunbi's voice.
Then there was the sound of chaotic footsteps, and several people ran over.
There are Zhao Yufeng, spring flowers and autumn moons, and Yunbi.
Zhao Zhufei got out of the way, and Zhao Sichen saw Zhao Yufeng running in front.
Yu Feng was wearing the clothes of a study boy, with a slight bun on his head, obviously just out of school.
He slammed across the courtyard, plunged into Zhao Sichen's suspicions, and shouted, "Sister! β
There was a hint of crying in his voice.
Zhao Sichen felt that his eyes were a little hot, his nose was sour, and there seemed to be a numb and hot warm current flowing through his heart-
Obviously, his eyes were already red, but he smiled disguisedly and quipped, "You don't want to cry, do you?" Manly man, I'm afraid of losing faceβ"
Zhao Yufeng threw himself into Zhao Sichen's arms, burying his head deeply and refusing to raise it. Hearing Zhao Sichen's words, he shook his little head violently and said, "I miss my sister, I'm not afraid of losing face." β
Zhao Sichen pulled Zhao Yufeng out and took a closer look.
There were tears in the little man's eyes.
Seeing Zhao Sichen's face, Zhao Yufeng flattened his mouth, and the little beans fell down.
The tooth gang gritted tightly, and the dignity of the little man made him hold back from crying.
Zhao Sichen sniffed and said, "Don't cry, my sister has gone home safely." β
Zhao Yufeng didn't dare to open his mouth to speak, for fear that if he opened his mouth, he would overflow with crying.
Hearing Zhao Sichen's words, he nodded violently, and the little bean fell even more fiercely.
Zhao Sichen carefully stopped Zhao Yufeng and looked at it, and said strangely: "I've only been away for more than three months, why do you seem to have grown taller?" β
Yun Bi stood aside, looking at the two siblings with red eyes.
Hearing Zhao Sichen ask, he said with a smile: "It's a little tallerβan inch taller, and his pants and sleeves are shorter, and I'm planning to change his clothes." β
An old man walked slowly at the back with a cane, walked up to Zhao Sichen, and saw Zhao Sichen, Zhao Yufeng, and Yun Bi all with red eyes.
The old man threw his crutches into the ground and snorted: "I just talked, and I don't know if I brought anything back." β
Guo Anyang, an old man, is used to destroying the atmosphere.
Guo Anyang's interruption really diverted everyone's attention.
Zhao Sichen hurriedly beckoned the groom to move the things down, and Zhao Zhufei and Qingsong also stepped forward to help.
Everyone helped, and soon, a small hill was piled up in the courtyard.
Zhao Sichen asked Chunhua and Qiuyue to bring lanterns, illuminated the courtyard, and introduced them to everyone: "This box was moved to Yufeng's study - they are all gadgets, I saw fun dolls, wooden tools, and small objects in the north, and I bought them all back." β
Zhao Yufeng watched from the sidelines, although he didn't dare to show too much joy, but his face was full of joy and eager to try.
If it weren't for Guo Anyang watching from the sidelines, I was afraid that he would have lifted the lid of the box and played with it.
Zhao Sichen said with a smile: "Qingsong, you help the young master move this box to his study, and when you are free tomorrow, you will sort it out." β
Qing Song responded and stepped forward to lift the box.
The box was quite heavy, so Qing Song checked it, used some strength, and carried the box to the study on the side.
Zhao Sichen said to Guo Anyang again: "Grandpa Guo, didn't you praise the leather of Beidi last time?" I've brought a suitcase and I'll make you two leather jackets this winter, and keep you as if you were wintering in the south, and you won't feel cold at all. β
Guo Anyang's reaction was the same as Zhao Yufeng's, obviously his eyes were full of joy, but he still tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, coughed lightly in disguise, and said, "You can be regarded as filial piety." β
Zhao Sichen smiled, knowing that he was an unforgiving character, and he didn't care about him, so he turned his head to look at Yun Bi: "Sister Yun Bi, I brought back more than 20 kinds of spices, both spices from the north and exotic spices brought by foreign tribes from the Western Regions and further north, you go back and take a good look to see which ones we can use." β
Yun Bi's eyes narrowed happily, the dignity of the past was gone, she was as excited as a twenty-eight girl, and said with a smile: "Last time, the Sun family returned to Daqing City from the north, and specially sent me some. I look good and try to use it in dishes, it's really exotic. This time, you'll have to try it out to see which ingredients go well with the spices. β
Zhao Sichen asked the groom to help move the things to the warehouse.
Finally, he turned his head to look at Zhao Zhufei: "Uncle Zhao, I didn't bring anything to you." β
Zhao Zhufei's dark face couldn't see any expression, and when he heard Zhao Sichen speak like this, he glared at her unceremoniously: "What to bring, it's a burden to bring!" The sooner you get home, it's better than anything else. β
Zhao Zhufei, who was silent, opened his mouth, and it was Wang Zhan.
Zhao Sichen was blown up by this sentence, and tears welled up in his eyes again.
Yun Bi and Zhao Yufeng saw it, hurriedly rushed up, and changed the topic: "Don't say it, don't say it, I'm hungry, let's eat quickly." β
Zhao Sichen sniffed: "Eat!" I miss the smell of food at home, it's been a long time! β
