The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 323 Returning Home ()

The weather today is gloomy, but the day I have already decided to go home has not been rescheduled due to the change in weather.

Early in the morning, Li Mingren came with his children to see him off. Although Yunlan really wanted to wait two days later for the weather to clear up before leaving, she was worried that the temperature would drop during the trip. In the end, thousands of words converged into one sentence: "Take care of yourself on the road."

"Well, we are ready to set off, and we have to rush to Youzhou to meet up with my second brother."

Li Mingyi went to Youzhou City to buy a restaurant, and Zhao Yunlan sent a letter telling Mingyi not to run back and forth, but to just wait for everyone in Fucheng.

The father and son watched the carriage drive away until nothing could be seen clearly before turning around and leaving. Ruiwen looked a little disappointed, but he didn't cry. Qing'er had been handed over to Grandma Cui to hold, and she still didn't know what separation meant at this moment. I thought my mother would go out in a carriage as usual and would come back in the evening.

The carriage drove for two hours. Zhao Yunlan poked his head out and looked at the sky. He had already walked out of the sky shrouded in dark clouds.

"Li Hua, go and tell Mr. San and the others to travel overnight tonight and don't stop in Changhe County."

"Yes, madam." Li Hua sped up the carriage and caught up with the carriage in front.

This time there were four carriages going home. I have two cars at home and two more rental cars. Zhao Yunlan brought Chunxiang and two other maids with him. The three brothers from the Li family did not bring their maids with them when they came, so they went back alone. The carriage arrangement was for the three brothers and Zhao Yuncheng to ride in the same carriage. Although things are peaceful now, for safety reasons I still brought my escort back with me.

Each car was equipped with three guards who took turns driving the carriage. The third and fourth sons and Yuncheng were in the first carriage. Zhao Yunlan and three maids lived in one. The last two cars were filled with some food to take home. Luggage, specialties from the North and things Caixia and her group brought home. In addition to the guards driving the carriage, two boys were left in the car to guard the luggage.

Li Mingli got the signal and asked the driver to speed up. Since he was not staying in the next county, he would hurry up and get to Youzhou City.

All the way out of Shiyang County and through Changhe County, the weather gradually turned cloudy again. When we approached Youzhou, dark clouds had already covered the sky with a thick layer.

The car in front slowed down, waiting for Zhao Yunlan's car to catch up. Li Mingli leaned out and said loudly:

"Sister-in-law, we will arrive in Youzhou in two hours."

Chunxiang lifted the car curtain, and Zhao Yunlan responded: "Well, it looks like it's going to rain."

"Then let's go faster?"

"No, the road ahead is wide, and it won't be too difficult to walk on rainy days. Just keep this speed. The main reason is that the horse has been running for so long, and it will be too much for the horse to speed up. On the contrary, it is not safe."

Li Mingli: "Okay."

After putting down the curtain, Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but stretch his waist, and took a rest in the middle. His whole body was sore from sitting, so Chunxiang wanted to massage Zhao Yunlan.

"No, you've been tired all the way. We're almost there, I can still hold on."

Chunxiang nodded and motioned with her eyes to the little maid next to her to get another cushion to raise the lady's height.

In Shiyang County, Li Mingren was handling official duties at the county government office. From time to time, he was distracted and thought about whether Yun Lan was safe on the road.

"My lord, my lord~" Chen Yiqing called Li Mingren for the fourth time, feeling helpless in his heart. Fortunately, today I am dealing with some chores.

"Ah? Ah! Keep talking, I'm listening." Li Mingren came back to his senses.

Cao Yingfa pressed the back of Chen Yiqing's hand and said, "Sir, you might as well go back and rest today. There are only some chores left.

Lao Chen and I can handle it well. Today we just keep an eye on them and repair the county government office. There is nothing else to do. "

After finishing the work in the fields, the "helping farmers" were assigned to repair the county government office. Li Mingren thought that if he needed to hire workers to repair the county government office, he might as well let these people do it and save the money. The wages are used as food expenses for these people.

Li Mingren looked at the two people in front of him and felt that he was not in good condition today, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

When I got home, I saw Ruiwen and his sister sitting on a small stool, watching the drizzle outside the window.

When she woke up early this morning, Xiao Qing'er couldn't find her mother. She cried for a while until Ruiwen came over and coaxed her for almost two quarters of an hour before she slowly stopped crying, but she didn't dare to mention her mother again.

Aunt Cui was worried at the side. It was the first time she saw the young lady crying for so long, and she was worried that her eyes would be hurt by crying and her throat would break.

"Dad, have you finished your work so early today?" Ruiwen was a little surprised to see his father back at this time. "Well, what are you two doing sitting here?" Li Mingren took two steps and hugged his little girl.

Seeing that Qing'er's eyes were still a little red, she knew that she had cried, and she didn't dare to mention Zhao Yunlan's departure from home.

Ruiwen was also well-behaved and just said that he would bring his sister to see the rainy day.

The father and son were sitting in front of the window, each thinking of the same person.

On Zhao Yunlan's side, he could enter Youzhou City in half an hour, but raindrops began to fall.

"Fortunately, it's almost here." Zhao Yunlan could only be thankful.

"Li Hua, we will enter Youzhou City soon. Find an inn to unload the carriage first and let the horses have a good rest."

Outside the car, Li Hua had already put on his raincoat and responded:

"You know, the second master should have found an inn."

"That's right." Zhao Yunlan hurried all the way, forgetting that there was even Mingyi.

Seeing the last step of the journey, Li Mingli couldn't help but ask the coachman to speed up a little. As the wind blew, the rain became heavier and heavier, and from time to time a ray of wind flowed into the carriage.

"Ah, we're finally entering the city!" Akechi shouted in the lead car, his voice a little excited.

The city gate guards checked the carriage and then let it go. The carriage drove in slowly, and Li Mingli had already leaned out to take a look.

"Second brother!" Li Mingli waved his hand.

Li Mingyi ran forward and got on the carriage:

"I have already booked a room. Let's go and rest for a while."

Guessing that his sister-in-law would rush to Youzhou, Li Mingyi made preparations early. This time on the return trip, the three brothers stopped fighting. After all, they had to rush home to get down to business, and the weather got colder as they went further back, so they didn't dare to delay on the road.

The carriage arrived at the inn, and everyone hurriedly got out of the car to stretch their muscles.

Li Mingyi came to Zhao Yunlan and said, "Sister-in-law, go upstairs to rest first. The waiter will bring the meal up later, and I will arrange the carriage."

Zhao Yunlan nodded, stopped talking polite nonsense, and went upstairs to rest in a hurry.

After briefly freshening up and changing into clean clothes, the food was already on the table.

"You guys can eat with me, there are so many dishes. There's no one else in this room, so we won't worry about that." Zhao Yunlan invited Chunxiang and the three maids to eat together.

The two little girls were still a little submissive. Chunxiang had been with Zhao Yunlan for a long time and already knew his wife's temper. She told them to eat together and not shirk anymore, so as not to get upset by going back and forth.

Chunxiang took the lead and sat down at the bottom, calling for the two little girls to sit down as well.

"You guys should feel free to eat and rest as soon as possible." Zhao Yunlan said.

The three people responded: "Yes."

The four masters and servants finally had a sumptuous meal.

Li Mingyi's brothers lived in the same room, and they also ordered a table of food and a pot of wine.

"It's so nice to have a glass of wine on a rainy day." Mingli looked out the window happily.

Li Mingyi: "After dinner, I will find a few people to muddy the carriage again, so as not to encounter wind, rain or cold on the road. You two can have a good rest upstairs."

"Okay, second brother."
