Chapter 371 Arriving at Pickaxe City

May is the season when Sophora japonica blooms. Open the curtain of the car, you can see the Sophora japonica flowers all over the mountains, a vast expanse of whiteness, undulating with the wind, and the fragrance wafts around.

Mammy Quan took out a stack of Sophora japonica cakes from the food box, and prepared to feed Zao Zao.

Yuxi stopped her: "Let her eat by herself!" The child is two years old and can eat by herself. But every time I finish eating, I'm covered in crumbs.

Sister Quan smiled and handed a piece of Sophora japonica cake to Zao Zao: "You can eat two pieces too!" Sometimes Sister Quan felt that Yuxi had overkill, and was extremely restrained to herself. No matter how delicious things are, she doesn't eat too much, just eat a little bit to taste the taste. But Zao Zao is just the opposite of her. She likes to eat everything except vegetables, and she is not afraid of being full.

Yuxi put a snow-blue pillow on her back and leaned against the carriage: "It's still more than fifty miles away from the city of picks, I'm going to rest my mind." It's noon now, and it was getting dark when I arrived at the city of picks Settle down, it is estimated that it will not be able to sleep until midnight.

Zao Zao finished a piece of pastry, then reached out to Madam Quan and said, "It's delicious, I want more." Mama Bai's pastries are really getting better and better now.

Madam Quan put away the cakes long ago, and only one piece of Zao Zao's small stomach was enough to eat: "No more, I've eaten all of them."

Even though Zao Zao is still young, it's really not easy to fool. Zao Zao pointed to the food box next to it and said: "More, it's delicious." Every time I can only eat a little bit of delicious food, this makes Zao Zao very resentful.

Mammy Quan is not a spoiled child, and Zao Zao didn't get her wish in the end.

The sun was gradually setting, but Yuxi was a little worried: "A grown-up can suffer without food, but this child can't do without food."

Xu Wu looked very relaxed, and said: "There is a small refreshment shop a few miles ahead, Daniel has already asked them to make dinner, and they can eat it when they arrive at that shop."

Yuxi was very happy to hear that a tea shop opened on the side of the road, and said, "It seems that this place has recovered very well." If the recovery is not good, it is impossible to open a tea shop halfway.

Xu Wu looked up and saw that the sky was a little dark. The general is a person who forgets the time of day when he does things. Seeing his wife's posture, I am afraid that he is no different from the general.

Sister Quan shook her head, but said nothing. She had known that Yuxi was restless, so she might as well follow her wishes, but fortunately she would listen to persuasion, so she was not too worried.

It was getting dark, and all the guards around the carriage lit torches to light the way. Yu Xi was hugging Liu'er when she heard Xu Wu call out to the general.

Yu Xi lifted the curtain of the car with one hand, and saw Yun Qing riding a tall horse outside. Yuxi kissed Liu'er and said with a smile; "Your father has come to pick us up."

Yun Qing didn't get into the carriage, but just let the horse stick to the carriage and walked together: "I'm delayed for some things, otherwise I would have arrived long ago." He was so busy with military affairs and government affairs that he didn't even have time to catch his breath.

Yu Xi didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Just come." In fact, she wouldn't be angry if Yun Qing didn't come. There are too many things to do.

Zao Zao heard Yun Qing's voice and called for his father. Because it was night, Yuxi didn't want Zaozao to go out, for fear of being frightened by the dark lights outside.

Sister Quan smiled and said, "Let's go down!" to make room for the family of four.

As soon as Yunqing got into the carriage, Zaozao rushed over, but couldn't stand firmly and fell down. Just as his head was about to hit the carriage, he was successfully picked up by a pair of big hands.

Putting his arms around Yunqing's neck, Zaozao said cheerfully: "Father, daddy..." He called daddy several times in succession to express his longing for Yunqing.

Yuxi thinks that Zao Zao can be regarded as a villain. Yun Qing kissed her on the cheek, and shaved his beard specially before coming here, so he pushed him away without disgust.

Holding Zao Zao in one hand and Yu Xi in the other, he said, "Thank you for your hard work." Thousands of miles away, I have to take two children with me,

Not easy.

Leaning in Yunqing's arms, Yuxi said in a low voice: "The journey was peaceful, which was beyond my expectation." She thought that there would be assassination and poisoning on the way, but nothing happened.

Yunqing doesn't know what Yuxi thinks: "The backyard of the Governor's Mansion is all tidied up, just move in." Yunqing is also living in the Governor's Mansion now, but it was always in the front yard before, and the backyard was only tidied up during this time from.

Yu Xi nodded with a smile and said, "I heard that the Governor's Mansion is very big?"

The smile on Yunqing's face faded, and he said: "The governor's mansion covers an area of ​​more than 40 acres, with a total of 16 courtyards. The carved beams and painted buildings are surrounded by mountains and rivers. The renovation of this house will cost millions of taels of silver." Thinking back then when they were in arrears with their military salaries, but Ji Xuan lived in such a luxurious courtyard, how could he not make Yun Qing annoyed.

Yuxi smiled and asked: "So, there must be a lot of flowers and plants in the garden?" The weather in Yucheng is too bad, and the house is also small, so it's not easy to grow flowers.

Yun Qing said with some regret: "There are a lot of flowers and plants in the garden, but they were all tossed aside, most of them are dead." . As a result, I still haven't found it.

Thinking of what happened in Linzhou, Yuxi asked with a smile: "Have you checked the well water in the Governor's Mansion?" The money must have been hidden in a very secret place.

Yun Qing nodded sincerely, and said: "I have already checked, but I haven't found it yet. By the way, last time you sent a letter saying that there is a gold mine in Yongzhou, I sent someone to check, but there is no news." If you can If Ji Xuan's hidden money and this gold mine are found, then he won't have to worry about money for at least ten years.

Yu Xi said: "Don't expect too much. Ji Xuan is not a fool. Such a large amount of money Ji Xuan must have hidden it very deeply. If we are lucky, it doesn't matter if we can't find it." It is also Yu Xi's kind She is in a good mood, so she is not in a hurry to get angry.

Yun Qing hummed and narrowed his eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Xi said distressedly: "Squint your eyes and rest." After saying this, she put Zao Zao beside Liu Er and let the two sisters play together.

Yun Qing said: "I'm fine." Since he returned to Pick City at the beginning of the month, he was so busy that he only slept for more than two hours every day, just like that, there are still many things that have not been dealt with.

Yuxi said softly: "Don't be brave, rely on me to sleep for a while!" Yunqing doesn't understand government affairs, and doesn't have the foundation like her, the real thing is to learn from scratch. Tired, that roar must be.

Unable to resist Yuxi, Yunqing lay down, leaning on the pillow and getting ready to sleep for a while. Seeing this, Zao Zao climbed onto Yun Qing and said, "Father, I want to sleep too."

Yun Qing didn't let Zao Zao down, and said with a smile: "Okay, sleep with Dad."

Yuxi didn't agree: "Now that she's sleeping, she won't sleep at night." If she couldn't sleep, she would make trouble with her again. After driving for more than two months, she wanted to have a good rest.

Relying on Yunqing's backing, Zao Zao will not listen to Yu Xi's words this time. Yun Qing is naturally on the girl's side: "It's okay, if you can't sleep, you can't sleep, and it's not that no one is looking after you."

Zao Zao had slept at noon, how could she sleep now, just lying on Yun Qing's body and playing around! But Yun Qing was too tired, even if Zao Zao crawled around on his body without stopping for a moment, he still slept soundly.

The carriage drove straight into the Governor's Mansion. It wasn't until the second room that Xu Wu said: "Ma'am, we've arrived, you can get out of the car."

Yuxi pushed Yunqing, seeing that he didn't respond, she said to herself: "I'm so tired, I must have not rested for a while." It's because she is young that she doesn't take her body seriously.

It was Zao Zao who finally woke Yun Qing up.

Yun Qing got up and said with a smile: "Why did I sleep for more than an hour at once!" It felt like I had just laid down.

Yu Xi said disapprovingly: "You haven't slept for a few days? This is too disrespectful to your body? It's okay to be young now, but when you get old and sick, you will find them all. It will be too late to regret it." Although she is busy , but get enough sleep every day.

Yun Qing smiled, got out of the carriage with Zao Zao in his arms, and said, "I'm afraid that you don't like the house furnished by the people below, so I didn't let them do it."

Walking into the room, one can see that the beds, tables, chairs, and Duobao Pavilion are all made of high-quality red sandalwood, all of which are engraved with such exquisite patterns.

Yun Qing followed Yu Xi's gaze, looked at these somewhat old furniture, and said: "After a while, I have someone rebuild a set of furniture for you."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "This furniture is pretty good, there is no need to spend money to build it. I just remembered that the furniture my mother bought for me is still in the warehouse!" Most of those furniture are yellow. Rosewood. Unfortunately, none of them were used.

Yun Qing patted Yu Xi lightly, and said, "I told my elder brother to give him a chance to bring his mother-in-law and the others to the northwest."

As soon as the words were finished, Gao Song said outside: "General, there is news from the capital." As for what was written in the letter, Gao Song didn't know.

Hearing the news that Huangzhou City was broken, Yun Qing's expression was very ugly: "Huangzhou City is broken, what can resist Yan Wushuang's pace? In three months, Yan Wushuang will be able to lead troops to attack the capital."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "If Yan Wushuang colludes with the people of the court, it may not take three months. But this is good, at least it can give an explanation to the hundreds of thousands of souls who died in vain in Tongcheng." As for what the emperor and the Song family did Because, there is more than enough to die.

Yun Qing's voice was a little low: "If the capital is breached and the emperor is killed, the world will surely be torn apart."

Yuxi looked worried: "Once the capital is breached, it will definitely be a mess. I am worried that something will happen to my mother and sister-in-law." The whole family, old and weak, women and children, will suffer if they encounter someone who takes advantage of the fire.

Yun Qing said: "I think the eldest brother should have made preparations a long time ago." These words comforted Yu Xi, once there were gangsters in the capital, let alone the Duke's Mansion, there would be no males, even if there were males. We must be able to escape this robbery.

Yuxi nodded and said: "I hope that elder brother can arrange it properly, and then we can bring mother and sister-in-law to the northwest." In the northwest, with her, the safety of the Han family will be guaranteed. With the help of elder brother, She also has an extra arm.
