Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1246 Famine and Natural Disaster 405

The carriage ride back was bumpy, but at least it was a smooth ride.

"Sir, please slow down. We can't catch up with you!"

Chunxi and Chunmei are not very good at riding horses. They only learned it from their father and brothers at home, and that's all.

It was impossible to raise them well; they started working with the servants in the mansion at the age of eight and had little time to learn skills.

They begged for a long time before their father and brother agreed to teach them how to ride horses.

Two people rode one horse. Chunmei's riding skills were slightly better, so Chunmei was responsible for driving the horse.

Sitting on the horse's back, Chunmei was always nervous because she was not very good at riding. Even so, their young lady rode on the horse with a carefree attitude, not caring about their lives.

Ming Yi tightened the reins of the horse when he heard the sound, and turned back to forget, "It's okay to play slowly, just follow Guard Yu and the others."

Chunmei and Chunxi smiled bitterly.

Guard Yu and his men are the ones assigned by the prince to the young lady. The young lady runs fast, and they can only barely catch up with her by chasing her closely. They are the ones who protect the young lady, so naturally they dare not slack off or fall too far behind. If anything happens to the young lady, none of them will escape punishment.

The two of them are just slaves. Compared with the young lady, the young lady is naturally the most important. They don't have the face to let the guards wait for them.

"My dear, the war situation has been intense recently and it is not peaceful outside. You should go slower." Guard Yu saw their dilemma and tried to persuade them.

Mingyi sighed, "Forget it, I won't take you with me next time I ride a horse."

Disappointing.

However, she also listened to the advice, as the situation was indeed unsettled at the moment; Zhou Ting was fighting outside, and only Fan Qingzhi was in charge of the entire Fucheng. If someone really took advantage of the situation, it would be hard to guard against.

"My lady, please don't say such angry words. I will practice riding skills well in the future. Please don't leave me alone." Chunmei said in a soft and earnest voice.

"My dear, I will also practice horse riding well." Chunxi said embarrassedly.

Because she doesn't know how to follow the young lady, she only does what is within her responsibility, so naturally she can't keep up with the young lady's pace.

It's normal for the young lady to feel disgusted.

"Okay, I don't intend to blame you, it's just that I finally get to ride a horse alone." Mingyi explained lightly, and then looked at Yu Shiwei and others, "Let's go, let's go back to Fucheng as soon as possible, I still have things to do."

On the way down, Mingyi obviously slowed down the horse's speed, and Chunmei was able to keep up with the horse, but Mingyi felt a little less interesting.

After entering the Fucheng city gate, the horse's speed was reduced by half again, allowing the horse to walk slowly on the busy streets.

With such a fast horse speed, it would be better to take a carriage.

"My dear, we have arrived at the palace." Chunxi breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense string in her heart completely relaxed.

Along the way, they were afraid that the young lady would not be satisfied and could not control herself, then they would really not be able to catch up with her.

Fortunately, the journey back home was smooth.

Chunmei secretly relaxed the tense muscles in her arms. Only then did she feel the unbearable pain in her arms. Her fingers had been holding the reins for a long time, which made them stiff and her joints felt stuck.

After getting off the horse, I quickly moved my arms and finger joints. It took a while to recover.

Mingyi dismounted and looked at Guard Yu and the others.

"You guys go back and rest first. Unless I go out, you don't need to follow me anymore."

"Here."

Guard Yu and others also got off their horses. Guard Yu threw the reins to the guard beside him, who took them. He then walked to Mingyi and took the reins from her.

Mingyi took the package tied to the horse's back and walked towards the mansion. After a few steps, he saw several servants walking towards him in a hurry.

"What are you doing? You look so flustered."

Mingyi stopped a few people.

"Your servant greets Master Cheng." Several servants knelt down hurriedly to greet him.

"No need to be so polite. Where are you going?" Mingyi asked again.

"To answer Master Cheng's question, we servants have received orders from Steward Luo to go outside to get the food."

"What food?" Mingyi was puzzled.

Several servants stood up and replied, "Butler Luo ordered the palace to purchase grain and grass from the merchants in Fucheng. A lot of grain and grass have been purchased in the past few days. Those merchants know that the palace is in urgent need of grain and grass, and they have gradually mobilized some grain and grass from other countries and their channels. We went to hand over the grain and grass."

"When did Butler Luo start collecting?" Mingyi asked.

"Master Hui Cheng, it started from the day you and Master Fan left."

Mingyi nodded suddenly, and when she looked at them again, she realized that the clothes they were wearing were not those worn by ordinary servants in the mansion; the materials and styles of their clothes were better, so she guessed that they were the managers under Butler Luo.

"In that case, you guys go get busy."

"Minions, take your leave."

The servants greeted each other again and then hurried away.

Chunxi and Chunmei looked at each other and smiled, and it was Chunmei who spoke first.

"What are you doing with all this food in your house, young lady?"

"Didn't you see? They said that the palace was in urgent need of food and grass." Mingyi turned around and looked at the two of them, meeting their inquiring eyes and said, "Right now, the army is short of food and grass, and it is a time when a large amount of food and grass is needed. Butler Luo did this for the sake of the Northwest Army."

The two of them suddenly realized, "I understand, thank you for clearing up my confusion, young lady."

  "Let's go back to the yard and wash up, and then you go and ask Butler Luo to come over." Since he knew that Butler Luo was purchasing food and fodder, he also needed to know how the purchase of food and fodder was going.

How much food and fodder have been collected, and how much is still missing.

"Yes, the servants understand."

The three of them entered Tao Yiyuan one after another. The yard was quiet, and Chunliu and Chunhong were not in the yard.

He must have gone home or was busy with other things.

"Young lady, please go back to your room and rest for a while. We will go to the kitchen to get some hot water for you." Chunmei said.

The three of them were all covered in dust, with traces of dust on their faces and hair.

"Okay, send the hot water to the bathroom. I'll wait for you in the bathroom."

Mingyi walked into the house carrying her bag and took out a set of women's clothes from the closet. When she came out, Chunmei and Chunxi were no longer there.

She walked out of the room and went to the bathroom.

There was a bathroom next to the wing room. After going there, he first cleaned the dust off his body while waiting for Chunxi, Chunmei and others to come back.

After a while, the clear voices of Chunxi and Chunmei were heard, and there were many footsteps outside.

Mingyi stood up and walked to the screen in the bathroom, using it to block the view.

"Put the tub inside and the wash basin on the shelf next to it and you can go down."

"Got it, Sister Chunxi."

There were both men and women among the people who came this time. The slaves were stronger than the servants in carrying the bathtubs, while the maids could only do the lighter work.

The tub and basin were put where they belonged, and they all withdrew.

After the bathroom door was closed, Mingyi walked out from behind the screen.

Chunxi and Chunmei smiled when they saw her, "Young lady, so you are behind the screen."
