Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 222 Going to the Western Regions
"Father has already said that, what else can I say!" Yao Cunhui smiled wryly.

"Miss, do you really want to take him away?" Mother Rong thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, why don't you get him some medicine? Let him lie down for ten and a half months, and see how he goes!"

"Nonsense!" Yao Cunhui couldn't help laughing "puchi", shook his head and sighed: "No, you think he is Hongzhi!"

Hongzhi had been bedridden for so long that Yao Cunhui could not believe that her father didn't know it was her doing the tricks.He just said that Zhao Jiyuan would go out with her, and Zhao Jiyuan was bedridden in a blink of an eye. Doesn't his father suspect her?

At that time, maybe the father who didn't have any ideas at first will also have ideas.

"Let's go out of the city first." Yao Cunhui raised his hand to straighten the broken hair at the temples, and said with a slight smile, "We'll talk about it on the way if we have anything to do."

"Miss, just don't let him go to see the third young master of the Shen family!" Rong Ma let out a long sigh of relief, and finally felt relieved.

Finally came the day of travel, Yao Cunhui took the accompanying Xiao Li, changed into ordinary men's clothes, and went out of the city early in the morning with shopkeeper Lin, Zhao Jiyuan, and the female guards of the palace to the rice warehouse at the foot of Heming Mountain. The officers and soldiers of the grain gathered and set off for the northwest.

"Take care on the road, take care of yourself!" Master Yao patted her on the shoulder lightly.

"Papa, take care too!" Yao Cunhui frowned lightly, wished Master Yao a deep blessing, and left with the accompanying team.

Half a month passed in a flash.

The farther you go to the northwest, the sky above your head seems to be getting higher and higher and bluer, or the sky is bright and white, so white that you can't see a cloud.

The sun is getting brighter and brighter, and it hits directly on the head, the light is so bright that people dare not look up, and the eyelids subconsciously droop down.Fortunately, the wind is also very strong, the dry wind without a trace of water vapor whizzes past, competing with the scorching sun above the head, so that the pedestrians on the road will not be dried by the sun above the head.

The Northwest is different from the capital city and the south of the Yangtze River. Although the sun is bright and the temperature is high, as long as there is a shadow, it immediately casts a piece of coolness on people without hesitation.There is no feeling of stuffiness that is almost suffocating or sticky.

The weather in the northwest is the same as the people in the northwest, and the fierceness is also fierce on the bright side.

It's just a pity that the farther you go to the northwest, the land is gradually desolate. As far as you can see, the sky is wide and the land is wide, and the pale yellow and grayish-white dark colors occupy most of the sight lines. It is not easy to find a place that can be shaded.

After more than half a month, the staff of Mihang complained secretly, but each of them was secretly taught by shopkeeper Lin: the second lady and the girls have never complained, are you more delicate than the second lady?One sentence left everyone speechless.

Another day at dusk and sunset, a group of people lodged in a small town at the foot of Qingliang Mountain.

"Miss Yao has worked hard all the way! There are at most ten days to go. It's just that tomorrow we will cross the mountain road of Qingliang Mountain and then enter the real plateau. Miss Yao must be prepared. If there is any discomfort, you must speak up immediately!"

Master Lu, the food security officer, stepped forward and said with a smile.

Yao Cunhui, who had a slightly tanned face, was talking to the shopkeeper Lin, who was also tanned, at the entrance of the inn, watching the officers and men busy.

"Brother Lu, what are you talking about!" Shopkeeper Lin frowned dissatisfiedly and glared at Master Lu. We all endured hardships along the way. Yao Cunhui and Shopkeeper Lin were generous in their actions and good tempered. As a family, Shopkeeper Lin and Master Lu are not so polite.

"Our second young lady is a hero among women. How could she be a bit squeamish along the way? What's wrong with you? You have to curse my young lady!"

Shopkeeper Lin complained about Lord Lu's words. Shopkeeper Lin has been with Yao Cunhui for the longest time during the Yao family's rice business, and he has traveled to Jiangnan and Nanyang together. Yao Cunhui has long admired her with all her heart, and she seems to regard Yao Cunhui as the successor of Yao's rice line in her heart.He was the first to be unhappy when he heard Master Lu belittled Yao Cunhui.

"Hehe, my old Lu also admires Ms. Yao from the bottom of my heart! I don't mean to belittle Ms. Yao at all, but the plateau area is really different from other places. Some people are not used to it, and their faces turn pale. Breathing is not smooth, it is easy to have a big problem, and it may be life-threatening! By the way, brother Lin, don’t forget to remind you guys, everyone, be careful, if you feel unwell, hurry up Squeak!" Master Lu chuckled, and then emphasized seriously: "I am not joking with you! This matter cannot be endured!"

"Shopkeeper Lin, don't forget to tell everyone when you turn around, Master Lu reminded you." Yao Cunhui said with a smile.Altitude sickness is indeed fatal.Now that there is no oxygen cylinder, if something happens, the only real choice is to wait for death.

"Second Miss, you believe him just like that!" Shopkeeper Lin smiled and pointed at Master Lu.

"Master Lu is telling the truth. This altitude sickness kills people invisible. It is true."

"Listen, I'm not talking nonsense! It turns out that Ms. Yao knows about it too!" Master Lu hurriedly said.

"Since it's the young lady's order, I'll do it right away!" Shopkeeper Lin's expression froze, and he immediately agreed seriously.Since Yao Cunhui knew about the ocean, he knew about the plateau, shopkeeper Lin didn't find it strange at all.

"Hey, I'm calling you kid!" Master Lu pointed at shopkeeper Lin, with a half smile, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, looking very depressed.

Shopkeeper Lin gave him a natural look, meaning: Miss is my boss, I naturally have to listen to what Miss says, as for you, I'm sorry!

Xiaoli looked at this, looked at that, and laughed with a "puchi".

Several people couldn't help laughing.

"Second miss, the room has been tidied up, hot water and hot tea have been prepared. Second miss, please go back to your room and rest for a while! I just asked the shopkeeper, there is mutton, fresh lettuce and white rice in the evening , I asked them to prepare it for Miss Er!"

After a while, Zhao Jiyuan came out from the inn, and after greeting everyone, he smiled gently at Yao Cunhui.

The mountain wind blows his navy blue robe and flies backwards. His ink hair is light and his slender eyebrows and eyes are energetic. Due to the baptism of the climate, his facial features are a little deeper than usual, and his elegant temperament adds a little bit of fortitude.But when he was talking to Yao Cunhui, his expression was extraordinarily gentle, so gentle that it was almost like a lover's tenderness, but it also gave people a feeling of being polite and courteous.

Master Lu smiled ambiguously, and looked at shopkeeper Lin, and the two of them chatted and dragged away.

Along the way, Zhao Jiyuan always took care of Yao Cunhui's daily life so carefully, with excellent sense of proportion, Yao Cunhui couldn't find the right words to refuse.

He knows that she likes to be clean, he knows that she likes to eat vegetables and rice, wherever he goes, he can always do it for her first.

"Thank you Mr. Zhao." Yao Cunhui still responded with aloofness and indifference, and blessed him politely.

"Miss Yao, you're welcome, please!" Zhao Jiyuan was not in a hurry, nor was he disappointed, nor was he angry. He smiled gracefully and gracefully as always, and raised his hand to Yao Cunhui as a "please" gesture.

Yao Cunhui sighed inwardly, nodded with a smile, and left with Xiaoli.

"Second miss, Mr. Zhao is really a careful person!" Xiao Li said with a smile while twisting the towel and handing it to Yao Cunhui.

Yao Cunhui paused for a moment with his hand to wipe his face, but did not speak.

"If you want to say that people's hearts can be seen over time, this is indeed true! Like Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid you can't find another one in the whole capital!"

Xiaoli laughed, and Yao Cunhui wondered why she was so happy!
Yao Cunhui glanced at Xiaoli lightly, but unconsciously thought in her heart: Who said that the whole capital like him can't find another one?If he was here, he would be a hundred times, a thousand times better than this Zhao!
"You are right in saying that you can see people's hearts over time!" Yao Cunhui wiped his face, let out a long and comfortable breath, handed the towel back to Xiao Li, glanced at her and said indifferently: "So, the days are still When it's not long enough, don't make random conclusions!"

Yao Cunhui sneered in her heart, if she hadn't had the unforgettable pain of her previous life, if she hadn't learned a lesson at the cost of her life, maybe she would have been cheated by him too!

Therefore, whether Xiaoli or the people around her, they praised Zhao Jiyuan more or less. She never refuted everyone with a cold face, or showed her disgust towards Zhao Jiyuan.Because the reason why her opinion is different from others is because of the memory of two lifetimes.

Xiao Li was taken aback for a moment, and cast a thoughtful glance at Second Miss, not quite understanding what she meant.But I also saw that the lady didn't like to continue this topic, so she shut up knowingly.

"Miss, let's try the grapes. I heard that the grapes here are sweet!" Xiaoli smiled again and brought up a plate of milky white grapes that had been washed clean.

"It's too sweet, I can't eat it today, I'll reward you!" Yao Cunhui smiled, feeling a little panicked for no reason.

Zhao Jiyuan has been following for too long, and tomorrow he will cross Qingliang Mountain. After crossing this mountain that stretches from north to south, he will officially enter the boundary of the Western Regions.Zhao Jiyuan, it's time to leave.

After dinner, there was a hasty knock on the door outside Yao Cunhui's room.She was startled slightly, and hurriedly listened carefully.

"Second Miss! Have you rested yet?" It was Shen Sheng.

"What happened?" Yao Cunhui pouted at Xiao Li.

Xiaoli's face was also a little nervous by the knock on the door, and she hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

"Second miss, it's not good!" Panting, Shen Sheng hurriedly said, "Master Zhao is injured!"

"Which Mr. Zhao?" Yao Cunhui asked lightly.

"Is that Mr. Zhao Jiyuan Zhao?" Xiaoli said quickly.

Shen Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's Young Master Zhao!"

Besides Zhao Jiyuan, the guys who came with him also had a surname Zhao. Yao Cunhui didn't like it very much that when others mentioned Mr. Zhao, they would assume that it was Zhao Jiyuan, and insisted on looking for something to do.

"Say something slowly, don't rush." ​​Yao Cunhui's face froze, and he asked quickly.
