Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 218
Seeing Yao Cunhui's slightly stunned expression, Prince Li smiled and said, "The imperial court has no other intentions. Letting you people from Mihang follow and beat him up is just to facilitate management on the road. After all, you are experts, in case you meet someone along the way It’s more expert how to deal with any situation.”

"My lord said that Xiaohui will tell her father when she goes back!"

Yao Cunhui smiled wryly in his heart, the imperial court is the imperial court after all, how could people take advantage of it for nothing?

This batch of grain was transported to the Western Regions jointly by the Yao family. If something happened along the way, it would naturally be the responsibility of the Yao family.

Fortunately, the journey has always been peaceful, but it is only a journey of twenty days, so nothing may happen!

Yao Cunhui's heart suddenly moved: If she is the person delivering the food, can she meet Shen Quan?

Yao Cunhui's palms tightened, and his heart also felt slightly hot. This thought was getting bigger and stronger like a snowball.

She must go on a trip to the Western Regions!
She, her father, and the second uncle are the only three Yao family members in the Yao family's rice line. It is natural for my father to stay in the capital and not leave at this time of year. As for the second uncle, he probably won't be interested in this matter himself. .

Isn't the second aunt going back to her hometown in the clan in two days?She might as well be more generous and find a good excuse for my second uncle!

Three to two, who else can I choose?

In the absence of any alternative, and she asked for it, I believe her father would agree to let her go.

Anyway, she was just a daughter, not a son, even if something happened on the way, the father would sigh a few times at most, not to the point where she couldn't do without her!
Therefore, he will not refuse her proposal.

When Yao Cunhui brought the news back to Yao's house, Master Yao was really stunned, he frowned after thinking for a moment and sighed softly: "The imperial court really—"

cunning!They have taken all the benefits, but let Yao's Mixing bear the risks!
"I can't leave the capital, so your second uncle will go!" Master Yao frowned.

Hearing the hesitation in his tone, Yao Cunhui tentatively smiled and said, "Father, in fact, second uncle is not the only one in our family who can go! I can too."

"You?" Master Yao glanced at her and said with a broken smile, "How can that be done! How can you go to such a far place as a girl!"

Suddenly remembering that Yao Cunhui had gone to Nanyang, which seemed to be farther than the Western Regions, Master Yao said again: "It's just far away! But it's a border crossing, it's too dangerous! You're not suitable, let your second uncle go this way!" "

Master Yao didn't say a word: Didn't he always complain that he didn't give him the chance to be the leader?This time, just give it to him once and see how he does it.

"Nowadays, the border is guarded by troops from the West, so it is much safer than before. Dad, you know that my daughter is not afraid of hardships or dangers!"

"You!" Master Yao couldn't laugh or cry, looked at Yao Cunhui and sighed, "Father sometimes really wonders if you were cast in the wrong baby! It should be a boy!"

Yao Cunhui was taken aback, and the father and daughter laughed at the same time.

Yao Cunhui couldn't say anything more, so she left with a smile.She couldn't help but feel a little wronged for the deity in her heart.

Obviously it should be a boy?Yao Cunhui in the past was not at all like a man. Master Yao must have lost the slightest impression, right?
Master Yao did not expect that when he mentioned to his brother that he should accompany the officers and soldiers to escort the food to the Western Regions, Master Yao hesitated for a while, and said with a dry smile: "Brother, I have to send my family back to the old family. Body!"

Master Yao's complexion suddenly darkened by two points, and he gave Master Yao Er a cold look.

In Master Yao's opinion, this is a reason that is not worth mentioning at all and can be overthrown with a single sentence, but he didn't speak, he was too lazy to refute.

Since he didn't have the heart and was unwilling to take on this trip, even if he forced him to go, he wouldn't take it seriously, so it would be better not to go.

"Second brother, have you thought it over clearly, are you really inseparable?" Master Yao's tone was slightly cold.

Master Yao Er shook subconsciously, nodded and smiled and said: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to go, you also know my temper, she must ask me to see her off, and she has a pair of children with her, if you don't go, I will Don't worry too!"

"That's true!" Master Yao let out a long breath with his hands behind his back, and said lightly, "Second, remember, it's not that I didn't give you a chance, but that you don't want this chance yourself! From now on," Master Yao Staring straight into his eyes, he said, "You can stop saying that I'm partial to my daughter!"

Master Yao Er's complexion suddenly became ugly, his face and neck were a little hot, and he was also a little annoyed to hold back his anger. He thought to himself: "What opportunity? You think of me for such a thankless job, and you can easily show your face and shine It’s up to you father and daughter to divide it up! But you still want to sell it in front of me?”

How did Master Yao know that when Yao Cunhui went to the south of the Yangtze River and went to Nanyang, which one thing did not take great pains to plan and arrange to achieve results? Compared with simply escorting food, the unknown risks and difficulties contained in it were higher How many times!
"It's nothing," Elder Yao said with a forced smile, "I've never thought about it that way, really! How big brother treats me, I've always been like a mirror in my heart!"

"Oh?" Master Yao half smiled, "Then tell me, how does big brother treat you?"

Master Yao Er was startled, and then recovered himself, and said an ambiguous sentence himself, he was a little embarrassed and immediately laughed: "Brother has a deep affection for my brother, without him, I don't know where I am!"

These words evoked many memories of the past that were tossed and switched in their minds, and pictures were switched in front of them like lightning. For a moment, the two brothers were a little emotional.

"Don't talk about it!" Master Yao sighed softly, walked over and raised his hand to pat Master Yao Er's shoulder heavily, and sighed: "It's good if you can think so. But this time the court's intention is very clear, you say ,what to do?"

Second master Yao's heart that had been relaxed just now picked up again, his body was a little stiff, and he smiled and said, "Brother, did you forget Hui'er? Send a few more guys to accompany Hui'er, there should be no problem!"

"You really think so?" Master Yao's face suddenly turned a little ugly.

Yao Cunhui is his daughter, he can let her do anything, even if she is in danger, but the same thing cannot or cannot be said by others.After all, it was a challenge to him.

Because it was his daughter, and no one else could make the decision.

Second master Yao became a little stunned again, not understanding why his eldest brother was suddenly unhappy again.The two have been brothers for decades, but Master Yao has never really understood his eldest brother's temper.

"This is Hui'er's own idea," Second Master Yao coughed and said awkwardly.

"Hui'er told you about this?"

"She went to see her second aunt last night, and said a few words in passing." A flash of inspiration flashed in Master Yao's mind, as if he had found an upright reason, and he laughed quickly: "Then I asked her a few more words. I have the confidence and determination to make this trip. That’s why I can tell my brother that I can’t leave today! If my brother thinks it’s not possible, then I’d better go!”

"Forget it!" Master Yao waved his hands and said, "I believe in Huier's ability, but she is a bit too young after all! How can I be reassured along the way!"

"Brother, if you care about it, you will be confused, don't worry too much!" Master Yao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I have walked this road several times for the imperial court to transport grain, grass and military supplies. It is an old road that I am familiar with, so there must be no problem in terms of safety! Besides, the guards are all officers and soldiers of the imperial court, so there is no problem. Elder brother, don’t worry, send a few more experienced old men or stewards to accompany you. Huier is so smart and capable, she has been praised by the Queen Mother Who dares to disrespect her?"

Master Yao Er was talking, and he couldn't help hesitating and regretting: It's really safe in this way, so should I go or not?
Thinking of his wife Mao's non-negotiable tone, Second Master Yao felt troubled for a while, and put aside all the hesitation and regret in his heart.

"You have to ask Huier herself about this matter." Master Yao sighed, obviously being moved by the second master Yao, and immediately ordered someone to call Yao Cunhui over.

Yao Cunhui naturally had no objection, on the contrary, although her face was calm and peaceful, her heart was full of joy.Shen Quan, she can finally meet him openly!

After being separated for nearly two years, I dare not write letters, deliver things, think about him, or even dream about him!

She was afraid, she was afraid that once the dam of longing burst, it would never be blocked again, and the monstrous flood would swallow and submerge her whole, draining her last drop of effort.

The resolution was made, and Master Yao announced the resolution at the meeting of the core members of the Yao Family Rice Bank. The second master Yao did not want to receive implicit condemnation or dissatisfaction from Shopkeeper Hao, Accountant Lin and others, so he did not attend this meeting. He packed his luggage and hid in Tangli Courtyard under the pretext.

As soon as Master Yao said a word, shopkeeper Hao and the others really looked at each other in blank dismay.It's just that the second master Yao didn't come, everyone knew it well, and had no other ideas to come up with, so they had to acquiesce.Shopkeeper Hao and others spared no effort in selecting the entourage, and selected twelve clerks, including shopkeeper Lin and Shen Sheng who had traveled to the south of the Yangtze River with Yao Cunhui.

Yao Cunhui resolutely refused to bring so many people with her. According to her words, the business in the capital is busy, and all of a sudden it will affect the business in Beijing. Besides, there is really no need to bring so many people.

The result of the discussion was that twelve would be halved, and six people would be brought along, with Manager Lin and Shen Sheng still included.

"Get ready!" Master Yao finally said, "Prince Li is still waiting for a reply, please ask him when the food will be shipped. Huier, you should go this time and say goodbye to the old prince. "

Yao Cunhui respectfully agreed.

The next day, Yao Cunhui went to Prince Li's Mansion to meet Prince Li again.

"Are you going?" Prince Li was taken aback, and blurted out, "Don't you still have a second uncle!"
