"Then transport it to the mountains."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the large amount of food in front of her and asked: "Besides the main road in front of the mountain, is there any small road in the Temple of Empress Dowager Song?"
Uncle He thought for a while and said: "There is one, but it is difficult to walk. It is probably overgrown with weeds now."
"As long as you have it."
Zhou Yunshu stared at the sweet trouble in front of her and said, "It's just that we have to work hard today."
At noon, Zhou Yunshu and his party bought three chickens and some fresh vegetables from Damiao Village and made a feast.
After taking a short break after lunch, while people in Damiao Village began to work in the afternoon, Zhou Yunshu and the women at home guarded the luggage. Wu Gui and shopkeeper Liang led Yan Shilei and his party to transport food to the road Uncle He mentioned. Walk down the path.
There was no way for horse-drawn carriages to go up that road, so we had to rely on mules and horses to carry us up without relying on manpower.
From the end of the afternoon to the beginning of the evening, many people in Damiao Village fell asleep before Wu Gui came back.
When I came back, except for Wu Gui who seemed to be in a slightly better condition, everyone else looked very tired.
Dinner had been prepared long ago. They came back and took a shower before starting to eat.
After Wu Gui regained his composure, he said to Zhou Yunshu: "We don't dare to let the horses and mules continue to carry the burden later. If they are tired, we will not be able to leave tomorrow."
"So almost half of the food was carried up by Huzi and the others. It was really exhausting."
Zhou Yunshu also expected this situation, so tonight she spent a lot of money to buy a pig from the village, and used half a fan to make stewed radish with bones, braised pork ribs, braised pork, cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli, and braised pig blood with green onions.
The portions of each dish are huge, so there are so many strong men in their team.
Especially Huzi and others, they have great strength and big appetite.
The pile of vegetables, rice and fifty steamed buns were all eaten by them.
After finishing the meal, shopkeeper Liang and Uncle He briefly explained to Zhou Yunshu the location of the food storage, gave her the key, and then went back to lie down and fall asleep accompanied by the snoring of Huzi and others.
Fortunately, it was almost done in one night, and they all woke up the next day when they smelled the aroma of rice.
Since shopkeeper Liang's family joined the team, the female relatives of the Liang family have taken over the food in the team. Their cooking skills are much better than Li Jialan and Fang Huiwen.
In exchange, the Liang family's children studied behind Zhou Yunshu and Zhou Yunjia.
The cabbage and meat buns and the radish and vermicelli meat buns that I ate this morning were made by the Liang family’s women, and they tasted no worse than those sold in the store.
On one side, Zhou Yunshu and his party left Damiao Village after breakfast and continued on their way south. On the other side, Princess Yuyang of Luzhou Fucheng was taking her son and niece to see Cao Zhengxing off.
Also leaving with Cao Zhengxing were the ten saints from the Red Lotus Sect. There was originally no need for so many people. It was Cao Zhengxing who decided to take them to the capital together after seeing these ten saints.
Cao Zhengxing sat on the tall horse, holding his snow fox cloak with one hand and said to Princess Yuyang on the carriage: "Your Majesty already knows the news of Mr. Yang's unfortunate passing. It is estimated that the day I arrive in the capital, the person who will succeed Mr. Yang will be there." Will take office."
Princess Yuyang frowned slightly and said, "Didn't your Excellency tell my uncle that our Yu Hao can definitely take over his father's position?"
Cao Zhengxing couldn't help laughing when he heard Princess Yuyang's words: "Princess, I have only heard that titles can be hereditary, but I have never heard that official positions can also be hereditary."
"Instead of thinking of leaving this opportunity to the young master who has not yet achieved success in the imperial examination, the princess might as well do it as a favor to others."
Cao Zhengxing's words were completely for Princess Yuyang's sake, "Of course, building a good relationship with the new prefect is also a good choice."
Princess Yuyang frowned and began to think about whether this matter was feasible.
Yang Yuhao frowned as he rode on his horse and listened to his mother and Cao Zhengxing handing out official positions in the imperial court as if no one else was watching.
Aren't they afraid of being overheard and reported to His Majesty?
Yang Yuhao had wanted to tell his mother a long time ago that even if His Majesty doted on her again, she would not lose her sense of proportion.
After all, the emperor's grace can be given to you at will, and of course it can be withdrawn at will because of your extravagance.
For example, right now, his mother wanted to interfere in the deployment of court officials, which really crossed the line.
"I will consider it, Master Cao, walk slowly."
Cao Zhengxing smiled and nodded. When he left, he glanced at Du Huairou next to Princess Yuyang, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Du Huairou was so frightened by that smile that she almost got goosebumps all over her body. She always felt like he had seen through what she had done.
However, from the time this person arrived at his aunt's place to the time he left, they had not spoken at all, and they had not even seen each other a few times.
So why does he think so of himself?
Du Huairou stretched out her hand and touched her chest. When Princess Yuyang saw it, she thought Du Huairou was sick and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just think...Master Cao is a bit scary."
At this time, the carriage of the Princess's Mansion had turned around and headed towards the Princess's Mansion. After hearing this, she sneered: "It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable looking at a dead eunuch who kills without blinking an eye."
Du Huairou thought about Cao Zhengxing's appearance and said, "But Mr. Cao looks like a young man from a scholarly family."
Princess Yuyang held the handkerchief and sneered, "That was all the old Huang Li. Now he is just a eunuch who has no descendants."
"If his parents and elders knew that he had become a eunuch for the sake of glory and wealth, they would probably be so angry that they would crawl out of the ground and strangle this unfilial descendant to death..."
Princess Yuyang was excitedly talking to Du Huairou about the bad things Cao Zhengxing had done before, but she didn't even notice that there was something slightly wrong in the expression of the driver who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage driving the carriage.
If she notices, she must keep her mouth shut, after all, Cao Zhengxing can never hold a grudge.
Yang Yuhao followed Princess Yuyang and sent her and Du Huairou to the princess' mansion and then wanted to leave, but before he could turn around, Princess Yuyang stopped him, "Come in, I have something to say to you." explain."
Yang Yuhao tightened his grip on the reins, feeling inexplicably that his mother must be calling him this time because of Zhou Yunjia's affairs.
As expected, Princess Yuyang asked as soon as she entered the courtyard: "Where did you do that nerd from the Zhou family?"
Yang Yuhao stood silently.
Princess Yuyang never asked about him when Cao Zhengxing was around these days. Even Uncle Liang was as normal as before, as if what happened that day had never happened.
It wasn't that I didn't ask, I just wanted to settle the score later.
"Do you know that the Zhou family is now a traitor and a traitor?"
Yang Yuhao stood opposite Princess Yuyang and said, "There must be a misunderstanding."
Princess Yuyang snorted coldly and said, "Are you just like that boy from the Zhou family and are you stupid at reading?"
"The Zhou family has reached this point. If it weren't for His Majesty's connivance, you really think that the behemoth Zhenbei Palace would collapse overnight."
Princess Yuyang looked at the son in front of her who didn't look like her or Yang Bingtian, and said sincerely: "I am arresting him, everything is for you."
"How could it be because of me!" Yang Yuhao had had enough of hearing such words.
But when Princess Yuyang said the next sentence, Yang Yuhao was still stunned.
Princess Yuyang looked at her unconscious son and said angrily: "If it's not for you, then who is it for?"
"Do you know that news came from the northern border that the Zhou family army on the move occupied a city and rebelled!"
