stern wife

Chapter 380

Who is not raised by parents?That being said, no one would blame him.

However, Pei Xiaoran could see the oily shine on the lips of Cao Tailai and Cao Huimin, they must have had a good meal before rushing here.

Pei Xiaoran snorted coldly, and didn't bother to poke him for wasting time, and said:

"Then don't delay, let's set off immediately."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and got into his carriage, giving the order to set off.

"It's a big score. Fortunately, I don't have an official position. If I have an official position, wouldn't I want to ride on our heads to show my prestige?"

How Cao Huimin looked at Pei Xiaoran and found it unpleasant, he couldn't help muttering.

The smile on Cao Tailai's face has long since dissipated, and he didn't refute his son's words, only said:

"Get in the car."

Cao Huimin reluctantly followed him into the carriage.

Originally, Cao Huimin did not want to go with his father on this mission. After all, it was cold, and the feeling of traveling outside was definitely uncomfortable. I heard that it was colder in the north. How could it be more comfortable to stay in Rougedui and Wenrou Township?
But Cao Tailai felt that his son was not young anymore, and it was time to go out to see the world, gain experience, and pave the way for his future official career, so he forced him to take him with him.

Needless to say, the next journey is enough to make Cao Huimin complain and suffer a lot.

However, Cao Huimin himself didn't think so. He felt that no matter how bad he was, he was definitely better than that brat who was born in a family called Miss Jiao.

Not only him, but everyone who went with him this time, except Pei Xiaoran's five masters and her own fourth brother, thought so.

As for Pei Xiaoran's five masters and Pei Yanhe... One grew up watching her and knew that she was not afraid of hardship, the other worshiped her sister blindly, thinking that there was nothing her sister couldn't do.

Pei Xiaoran did not disappoint those who believed in her. In order to get to the destination as soon as possible, he started to drive every day before dawn, and only stopped to rest when it was completely dark.

She ate the dry food she brought with her and drank hot water. She traveled for many days and never heard her cry out that she was tired or bitter.

On the contrary, Cao Huimin, who is full of confidence, has long been bumped into a bad shape by the long-term carriage. He has to ask a hundred times every day when he will arrive, and he is picky about the things made by the accompanying cook who brought him from home. If it is gone, you must send someone to buy it back.

Not to mention his father, even though he didn't say it like Cao Huimin, his face was getting paler day by day. It was obviously the first time he had suffered like this after being an official for so many years.

After all, no one in the food delivery team has ever rushed before, and the leading officials even ate wild game and sang songs along the way, taking a rest whenever they wanted, and setting off when they wanted, anyway, as long as they It is a great achievement when the food is delivered, and the Holy Majesty did not stipulate how many days it must take to deliver it. Isn't everything up to you?

However, Cao Tailai dared not tell Pei Xiaoran to slow down.

A little girl less than ten years old didn't complain about suffering or tiredness, but the two big men were the first to complain about suffering, and when word spread, where would they put the Cao family's face?
Therefore, although he was extremely dissatisfied, Cao Tailai gritted his teeth and remained silent.

But what is admirable about Pei Xiaoran is not only his ability to endure hardships.

Pei Xiaoran, who knows the importance of food and grass, will take turns to be on duty with her fourth brother and five masters every night. Every night, two people are fixed, one in charge of the first half of the night and the other in charge of the second half of the night.

In order to avoid accidents with the grain and grass, the grain and grass are placed separately every time they rest, and enough people are arranged around to guard them, so as not to be too late to rescue if there is a fire.

Such a careful arrangement doesn't look like it was made by a child at all.

People who originally thought it was absurd for His Majesty to send food to a child gradually changed their minds.

Relying on careful arrangements and Pei Xiaoran's sensitivity to danger, the group went smoothly along the way, only encountered a small group of robbers running around, and were quickly wiped out by the soldiers.

Seeing that they could reach their destination in one day, the nerves of the group were a little relaxed, only Pei Xiaoran's small face was still tense, and he sent someone to notify the local magistrate to prepare manpower and places to receive food.

The heavy curtain was lifted, Pei Yanhe got in, and seeing his sister sitting in the carriage, staring at the opened window, unblinkingly at the place where the grain was kept, couldn't help but smile, and said:
"Finally, you have successfully completed the task. When you go back this time, the Holy Majesty will definitely reward you greatly. I don't know if your small warehouse can hold it."

Pei Xiaoran glanced at him, and said lightly:
"You haven't reached the destination yet, how can you complete the mission? Moreover, the closer you get to the goal, the more accidents are likely to happen, so it's better to be careful."

Pei Yanhe nodded very receptively, and said:
"My sister is right. Of course we can't make a mistake in this last step. Then all previous efforts will be wasted."

If something really went wrong at this time, Pei Yanhe believed that they, the group of people who traveled all the way and slept in the open, would definitely be stunned to death.

It was nightfall at this time, and the soldiers began to set up camp to rest, and the light from the torches shone in faintly, illuminating Pei Xiaoran's much-cut little face.

Pei Yanhe's heart twitched, he couldn't help but raised his hand to touch her cold face blown by the wind, and said:

"If you go back and let mother and the others see that you have lost so much weight, they will definitely feel distressed to death."

Pei Xiaoran is the leader of the food delivery this time, not only has to bear the fatigue of running around, but also protects the food and grass at all times, the pressure is not small.

She herself felt nothing, just thought about it, and said:

"Slow down when you go back, eat a little more, and you should be able to make up for it."

When Pei Yanhe heard this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes towards the sky, and said:

"The meat can be replenished, but can you spit out the bitterness after eating?"

Speaking of this, I can't help but think of what Emperor Chixuan did to his sister.

It doesn't count that he sent five brats to torture his sister since he was a child, and he also entrusted such an important matter to his sister, without thinking about his sister at all, whether he can bear it.

Emperor Chixuan, that bad old man, is really bad.

Pei Xiaoran laughed, knowing that her fourth brother was feeling sorry for her, so he comforted her softly:
"Honey for you, arsenic for you, the fourth brother lives in rich clothes all day, of course he will feel that this kind of life is very bitter, but for me, if I live in comfort all day, it is a very difficult thing." It's a terrible thing, so it's a good thing to come out to experience it often, and, most importantly, I don't think this kind of life is too hard."
