Cheng Xue sat up upon hearing this, rubbed her swollen temples, and asked:

"What's the matter, but what happened in the village recently?"

Li Zhong shook his head, looked at the three little masters who were sleeping soundly, and cupped his hands again——

"Madam please move to the study."

Emma, ​​it looks like something is going on!

Could it be that the workshop was reported?
No way, who is so stubborn.Or is it someone prying the line and delivering food to the restaurant?It shouldn't be...

After thinking wildly, Cheng Xue opened the door and entered the study.

Yu Niang has been waiting here for a long time, the stove has been lit, and there is enough tea.

"lady."

Seeing her curtseying, Cheng Xue was inexplicably flustered.Obviously, it's a big deal, and she doesn't say it until after she's had enough to eat and drink.

Taking a deep breath and sitting down, pointing to the opposite chair, said:
"Let's sit down and talk if we have anything to say, but something happened at home?"

Yuniang stood aside, Li Zhong took out a letter from his arms and handed it with both hands, standing with his wife.Cheng Xue saw that the letter was sent from the Qianzhou post station, but the exact location is not clear. Could it be that the money was lost by a pickpocket?

Unfolded and read the letter, the letter said that the official road over there was flat, and they were all going well.He also emphasized that Yan Yixin should come back in February to take the hospital exam on March [-]rd.

Come back in a month?Could it be too fast, they have been gone for more than three months.

There is nothing wrong with the letter, but the performance of the two in front of me is...

"What's the matter, you just say it, I can't resist."

Li Zhong pursed his lips, stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying:

"Ma'am, I went to the station yesterday and learned from Kong Hua that banditry is rampant in Linzhou, officers and soldiers are scattered, and the city is in chaos. According to the progress of this letter from the master, they may have arrived in Linzhou, so...so Xiao One feels the need to speak to Madam."

Kong Hua was in charge of raising horses at the post station, and Li Zhong would look for him every time he went there. The two had a good relationship and their words were trustworthy.

Subconsciously, Cheng Xue tightened her bare hands, and the sound made by the paper revealed her pretending to be calm at the moment.

"Ma'am, don't panic. Kong Hua only said 'possibly' but he can't be sure. So the villain thinks... that he can go to Xiao's house in the county. Their news must be better than ours."

Cheng Xue nodded with a "hmm", thinking it made sense.

"In this way, you go to the town to book a car now, pick vegetables at Yinshi tomorrow, and start at Maozheng. Yuniang will take care of the children at home, and accompany the eldest lady to organize people to pick vegetables, Bai Shao and Li Zhong will follow me."

"Yes, ma'am." Li Zhong agreed, turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Yu Niang walked to her side, gently pinched her tight shoulders, without saying a word.It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it.It is futile to say anything now, and it is all guesswork. Saying it will only make everyone think more wildly, it is better to accompany silently.

It's a pity that the weather is not good. Just as we decided to go to Xiao's house in the county to ask for news, it started to snow heavily.

Looking at the situation, it won't stop at night. As for tomorrow...

Yu Niang walked up to her and said softly:

"Madam, the master is a blessed man, nothing will happen, don't worry."

Cheng Xue naturally didn't want to plan for the worst, but there were no monitoring or communication equipment in this place, so she had to be cautious.

"Don't worry, I didn't think about it. I kept this matter from the young master and miss. It will be business as usual tomorrow. Bring me the Yangrong pill later, I'll take two pills."

Yu Niang was stunned when she heard the words, then bowed her knees and saluted, saying:
"Madam, please rest assured that the family of servants and servants will definitely advance and retreat with the master's family."

Yangrong Wan bought it and put it next to the lid of the box, and it didn't decrease. She is not stupid, so she naturally understands that the master's plan is to prevent them.But she and Li Zhong are not in a hurry, they have seen people's hearts for a long time, and now they are waiting for it?

Cheng Xue helped her up, held her hand, and explained:

"If there is no carriage when Li Zhong comes back, I will use it for Zhao's donkey cart. I will just wear more."

"Yes, I understand." Yuniang nodded without dissuading her.

When Li Zhongdingxue came back, Cheng Xue was afraid that the children would hear, so she listened to his report directly in the study.

"Madam, don't worry, the villain found Master Gong, and Master Gong said that he would send us to the county as well. The villain is the master, let Master Gong help find the carriage at the dealership, and if there is a suitable one, we will buy it."

Although he is not in charge of the accounts, he knows the selling price of the green vegetables, and he also knows how many green vegetables are taken away.With the current strength of the family, not to mention buying one car, three cars are more than enough.

Cheng Xue nodded, approvingly said:
"I need to buy a carriage as soon as possible. The family must have a car, which is convenient. It is better to buy a big one, and it will be done in one step."

"Yes."

After sending Li Zhong out, Cheng Xue locked the door, lifted the quilt, and opened the box.

Asking for help can't be empty-handed. Although two baskets of vegetables are fresh, they are far from enough.Two gold bars and a pair of Dongzhu hairpins were left by the ancestors of the Li family. She didn't want to touch them at first, but today... she had to use them.

After packing, I took another cloth bag, which contained some copper plates, broken silver, and two silver notes.

If the road to the Xiao family is blocked, she will have to find another way.What exactly can be done is still unclear, but she knows she can't sit still.

Before nightfall, the snow didn't stop, and the next day it was dark, I climbed up and went out with some clothes on. Fortunately, the snow stopped.

Yuniang was making dumplings in the outhouse, and when she saw this, she walked up to her and whispered:
"Madam, don't worry, the snow will stop when you are ugly. Li Zhong took the broom and went out to clear the snow, so he will not delay the business."

Li Huai slept in the west room yesterday, Cheng Xue didn't hide from the children that she went to Xiao's house, but she didn't tell her what she did.

Cheng Xue nodded, said "hard work" and went into the room to wash.

After finishing everything and putting the dumplings on the table, Yu Niang bowed her knees and said:

"Madam, take the key to the county. In case of delay, there is also a place to live."

The house over there has always been looked after by the grandparents of the Du family, and Li Zhong goes back every month to fill up the woodshed.

Cheng Xue installed the key and said:

"You catch up on sleep after I leave, has Li Zhong eaten?"

"Not yet, the slave has left his."

As soon as the words were finished, the door opened, and Yu Niang hurriedly turned around and went out.

Not long after the meal, Master Gong arrived in his car, and he was still on time as before.

Cheng Xue dressed neatly, came out with Mrs. Tang in her arms, and said:
"Thanks for your hard work, Master Gong, the weather is so bad and I still torment you."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, but we have to slow down on the way, the charcoal stove in the car has been lit, so it won't be cold."

Cheng Xue nodded with a smile, put Tang Pozi in her arms to him, and took Bai Shao into the car.Li Zhong was also sitting outside, fully armed with dog fur hats and cotton leather boots.

In the car, two baskets of vegetables were tightly wrapped in thatch, for fear of freezing.

After Bai Shao got into the car, she began to boil water and roast dates. Although Cheng Xue was not in the mood to eat, the supplementary nutrition was not vague.

In any case, she can't fall now, otherwise Li Yue will not be able to support the two children by herself.

Presumably Li Hui, like her, would not be irresponsible...
