Chapter 242 Back to Yangzhou

It rains a lot during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to break their souls.

In the south, it has long been green everywhere, hundreds of birds are singing, and it is a scene of spring. And in Dadu, at this moment, it is still a desolate feeling. The branches of the willow trees are trying to spit out tender buds, but they are slowly swallowing them. There is still a cool breeze blowing from time to time. It is not as cold as winter, but it is still not comparable to the cold willow wind in the south of the Yangtze River.

The rain in the north did not rain, but it was cloudy, reflecting He Zhaoyi's mood.

"Jiyi, why do you seem to be worried about something recently?" Minmin looked at He Zhaoyi, who was looking at the willow branch beside him, and asked puzzledly.

He Zhaoyi sighed: "Minmin, I can't hide anything from you. It's almost Tomb-sweeping Day. However, the bodies of my father and eldest brother are still buried in the suburbs of Dadu. How can I be relieved!"

"Didn't you send someone to contact your second brother?" Minmin asked.

Second brother? He Zhaoyi sneered and said, "He said that Yangzhou's business was busy and he didn't have time to come over. Let me find a way to transport the bodies of my father and eldest brother back and bury them in the ancestral grave."

What is this called! Why are you so unfilial? Is it important to do business, or is it important to have the body of your father and eldest brother? Minmin looked angry: "I sent someone to Yangzhou to find him. If he doesn't dare to come, he will put him in Yangzhou prison."

He Zhaoyi shook his head. It was difficult for the Qing official to break the housework and put him in prison? For what crime are you put in prison?

"Minmin, thank you for your kindness. I want to go back by myself and take the remains of my father and eldest brother back to the ancestral tomb for burial. After that, I have nothing to do with the He family."

Minmin was shocked. She knew that He Zhaoyi said so, but she didn't want to enter the door of the He family again. Otherwise, the He family should respect her second brother and treat her father's body in the manner of the second brother of the He family. She knew that the second son of the He family was not a good thing. If He Zhaoyi returned to the He family in Yangzhou, He Lao't know. How to treat He Zhaoyi?

"Well, I'll send someone to dig out the remains of your father and eldest brother and take them back, so that they can be buried in the ancestral grave early." Minmin said.

"No, these days, after talking in the house for so long, Zhaoyi is already very grateful to the princess for her hospitality." He Zhaoyi said and made a blessing for Minmin.

"Thaoyi, so you won't come back? You are a girl, where can you go? Minmin asked.

"The world is so big that if you don't believe it, there is no place where you can settle down." He Zhaoyi said.

"No, this won't work." Minmin said, "You and I are the same sisters. Don't say such foreign words. Now there is chaos outside. You are a girl's house, running around. What should you do if you meet bad people? I don't allow you to leave like this!"

Although the tone of what she said was a little harsh, the care in her words moved He Zhaoyi's heart. She gritted her teeth and finally said all her plans: "Minmin, although I am a girl, I grew up in a merchant's family since I was a child. For business, I have heard and ears and eyes, and I stayed in the Taishi Mansion all day long. I have nothing to do and I can't be idle. I have been observing the business of Dadu for the past few months. Now is the time when Qinghuang doesn't pick up. If I can transport some grain from the south to Dadu, the profit will be quite rich. Moreover, the river is frozen, and the transportation has been opened. I want to bury the bodies of my father and eldest brother, and then sell some grain to Dadu. Let's see how it works.

Thanks to Wang Baobao, all the property brought by his father from Yangzhou was retained and brought to Dadu together. With this money, He Zhaoyi wanted to do business.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? Count me in, and I want to go to Yangzhou with you!" Minmin said.

He Zhaoyi's face immediately changed: "Princess, don't joke. I do grain sales business, even if it's all yours, but if you leave Dadu, the master can't condemn me!"

Without such a tormenting person, if she takes Minmin away, the whole teacher will not be turned upside down. She is the daughter of a teacher under one person and above ten thousand people.

Minmin thought for a moment, as if she felt that it was a little difficult to do so. To blame, she could only blame her father for being the current imperial teacher. If she were just an ordinary person, she would not have been subject to so many restrictions. However, her father has been busy with official business recently. When he returned home, he often locked in the room to meet someone and close himself. My heart is getting less and less, and I slip away by myself. If I do it relatively confidential, I should not be noticed by my father, right?

After leaving most of the capital, why don't you just meet with He Zhaoyi? Minmin is already thinking about the sky outside, and she has long wanted to go back to Yangzhou to have a look.

"Well, then you can go back and try to transport their remains back before Tomb-sweeping Day. You can also go back to your hometown." Minmin said.

"Then I'll go and say goodbye to the master today." He Zhaoyi said. Although it is nothing for me to live in the master's mansion for so long, it is a big deal for me. After bothering me for so many days, I should also express my gratitude to the master.

"Dad has gone to court. I'm afraid it will be afternoon when I come back. I have to discuss something important, so I don't have to resign with him." Minmin said.

He Zhaoyi thought so. He is the master of the dynasty. He is said to be a good man. How can he have time to take care of a little person like himself?

"Then I'll leave today." He Zhaoyi said.

"So fast?" Minmin asked, it seems that He Zhaoyi has already returned to his heart like an arrow.

"Yes, let's go on the road as soon as possible while it's still cold. After a while, it will be hot and the road will be inconvenient." He Zhaoyi replied that she had packed her luggage for a long time, but she didn't know how to say goodbye to Princess Minmin. Now that the words have come out, of course, we have to go back as soon as possible.

"Xuan Ming's two elders." Minmin shouted.

"Princess, the little one is here." The two immediately ran over like pug.

"You two, take ten family butlers and follow Miss He back to Yangzhou." Minmin said.? Going to Yangzhou? The two didn't know how to thank Miss He. After staying in Dadu City for a few years, they finally had the opportunity to go out. Although he was excited, he pretended to be reluctant on the surface: "Princess, we are gone. You should take care of yourself!" Both of them are the personal slaves of Minmin Timur, who are usually responsible for serving Minmin's diet and living.

"Forget it, go back and clean up!" Minmin said.

"Princess, how can this be? I haven't been bothered in the house for so many days, and I can't repay you. Now I'm calling the people around you. This won't work. I just need to have this girl with little love." He Zhaoyi hurriedly refused.

"Zhaoyi, you are alone in your daughter's family. Even if you have a little love, that won't work," Minmin said, "The road is so far away. What should you do if you meet bad people?"

"Princess, after hiring someone outside Dadu to invite the remains of my father and eldest brother, I will directly hire a boat and go south along the canal to Yangzhou. There should be no big surprises along the way. Your kindness is according to your heart. I really don't need it."

"That doesn't work either. It's not good for your two daughters to hire people to hire boats and show their faces all the way. It's better to let the two elders go. They are all people who have been with me for many years. They can be more thoughtful in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way. They deal with boatmen and other people. It's also convenient."

"Yes, yes." The two old men of Xuanming immediately nodded and said that it was a good opportunity to go out to play, but it could not be ruined.

"After going out, I will pretend to be a man. I have dressed up many times before, and I haven't made any mistakes. I really don't need it." He Zhaoyi said.

"Well..." Minmin pondered for a moment: "Then let Xuan Lao accompany you. At least you have to have a suitable person around you, which is easy to use."

He Zhaoyi looked at this situation and no longer refused: "Well, then it's troublesome."

"Please rest assured, the little one will take good care of Miss He." Xuan Lao said, and quietly made a face for the brothers around him.

"You must be careful along the way." Minmin said.

"Thank you, princess." He Zhaoyi thanked him again.

Walking out of Taishi Mansion, He Zhaoyi looked at the place again for several months. Although she had been well received, in He Zhaoyi's heart, this place has always been a place to stay in a foreign country. Her home has been broken, and she still has to live strong and be better than her second brother. Businessman!

"Miss, get in the car!" Xuan Lao said aside, but was stepped on by Xiao Ai. He immediately recalled, "Son, please get in the car."

He Zhaoyi is already dressed in men's clothing at this moment, turning into a very common prince in Dadu. If you don't look closely, it's really difficult to tell that such a rich man is actually a Peugeot woman dressed up.

She didn't let Minmin come out to see her off. Now the two are already sisters. She is afraid that she will cry and her emotions will get out of control. Only when she calmly walks out of the Taishi Mansion and calmly walks back to her world is the right choice.

Xiao Ai is beside him, and he has also pretended to be a follower of a prince, and then follows a Ding Xuanlao. Wherever he goes, he should not be suspicious.

"Did you have a good time with Mr. Xuan?" In the Taishi Mansion, Minmin, who was already dressed in a uniform, asked.

"Yes, princess, it's already agreed." Mr. Ming replied carefully, "Mr. Xuan will leave us a mark of fire every other distance. As long as we follow the mark, we can know which direction they are going. However, the little one feels that we can just wait for them directly at the mouth of the canal. Why do we have to follow them like this!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Pay attention later. Don't reveal your whereabouts. Prepare the carriage. We're going to leave, too." Minmin said.

"Yes, princess."

Most of them have been tired of staying for a long time, and there is no relationship with Zhaoyi. Minmin decided to go to Yangzhou for a visit!

Hearing that the princess asked her to go to Yangzhou with Miss He, the old man was not happy, but afraid. He heard that it was very chaotic outside now. The princess ran out like this. In case of any accident, I'm afraid he would have to be beheaded by the whole family. However, the princess's orders could not be obeyed. Ming Lao's heart had been up and down for a long time, as if he had lost his soul.

Tell the master? After that, the princess will never let herself go. She wants her own life, isn't it like pinching a chicken to death? Ming Lao has no other way. In case of an accident and use all his skills, he will respond to the princess. No matter how bad it is, he will die anyway. After death, he can't control what the master does with himself.

Out of the Taishi Mansion, Minmin sat in the carriage, thinking that Yangzhou had already bloomed with flowers and hundreds of birds singing, and her heart was indescribably happy.

He Zhaoyi didn't know that Minmin was following her. She went out of the capital and burned some paper in front of her father and eldest brother's graves, so she asked someone to dig out her father's coffin from the grave, put it on the car, and rushed to the nearby canal ferry.

When I thought of going north, I thought that although it was very cold for the three people sitting in the carriage, there was a kind of warmth of home, and my nose was a little sore. If it hadn't been for the insentice of the second brother, why would my father and the eldest brother have died in a foreign country? Isn't it still good to stay in Yangzhou City today? Zhang Shicheng has also returned to the province. There is no need to move all the way to most of the capital, and he has lost his life. She didn't want to have too much resentment, but all this has nothing to do with her second brother. Her heart is already cold.

"The car in front, wait!" Suddenly, there was a shout behind.

Two cars carry coffins and one ride, which is also a small convoy. Hearing the shout behind, He Zhaoyi opened the curtain and looked back.

A team of Mongolian cavalry was galloping in. The figure of the man in front was very familiar to He Zhaoyi. It was the expansion of Timur.

What is he doing here? He Zhaoyi said, "Don't stop, keep going." There was a tremor in the voice.

The driver didn't dare to stop. Who dares to challenge the tar cavalry? If it doesn't stop, a rain of arrows will come, and I don't know how to die.

The car stopped, and the expansion was already outside and asked, "Can it be Miss He in the car?"

Miss He? The driver shook his head: "General, there is a prince in the car!"

Mr. Xuan has already lowered his head, and he also knows how to expand the outline. Since Miss He is not allowed to park, he must not meet each other. He's better not to reveal the truth.

Son? He hesitated a little. As soon as he returned to the capital, he heard that Miss He had left the Taishi Mansion and went home. He hurriedly brought it out. He expected that the other party was going to bring his body and then go on the road. He finally caught up, but it was not Miss He, but a prince, that is, he made a mistake, maybe in the front.

"Excuse me, let's go to the front to look for it." He said to the cavalry behind him, "Keep going!"

"Drive, drive!" The cavalry soon disappeared on the dirt road, and the dust covered their backs.

"These tars are so friendly." The driver said to himself strangely, "If all the tars were like him, how could there be so much turmoil?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to lose your head, keep going!" Xuan Lao roared beside him.

"Yes, yes." The driver said immediately.

He Zhaoyi opened the curtain and looked at the disappeared cavalry, but only the raised dust was still there.

Brother Baobao, please forgive Zhaoyi for not saying goodbye. Your affection, according to your heart, but in Zhaoyi's heart, there has already been someone else... He Zhaoyi sighed, and that figure appeared in his mind again.

When I see you, I will miss you for the rest of my life! Do you want to go to see him this time?

"Old man, do you want to die?" Minmin asked anxatedly.

Just now, a team of cavalry came from behind. As soon as Minmin turned around, she found that it was the expansion brother.

That's great! She immediately put down the curtain on the door of the car for fear of being found by the expansion. If he finds himself sneaking out of most of the city, why don't he have to take himself back? Her heart was pounding. What's wrong with this expansion brother? If you don't come early or late, it's only at this time?

The underworld seemed to have caught a life-saving straw. The expansion general was the master of the princess. As long as he found that the princess was sitting in the car, he would definitely let the princess go back. In this way, he would not have to take too much risk.

Minmin sat in the car. Ming Lao and the driver sat on the chariot. Looking at the expansion general passing by, he deliberately pretended to be a mistake and fell off the carriage.

As long as the expansion stops, as soon as he sees that it is himself, he will definitely recognize it. At that time, the princess in the car will reveal the truth.

Unexpectedly, the expansion did not stop at all, but when Ming Lao was about to fall down, he raised a powerful arm and threw Ming Lao back into the car again.

"Good hand!" The crowd next to him applauded. If it hadn't been for the help of this Tatar cavalry, the unlucky man next to him would have been trampled to death by the Pegasus.

Throw it back into the car, expand the profile without even looking back, and ran straight forward.

Minmin in the car can see clearly. Just now, Ming Lao fell down and miraculously returned to the car. After all this, the eldest brother did not find that he was in a hurry, just to save the next unlucky man.

Is there any emergency military situation? Minmin thought. In this way, Dad will definitely be very busy in the court. When he comes home, he will probably have no time to ask himself.

I don't know. He passed by the princess. He just wanted to find He Zhaoyi as soon as possible. Miss He didn't know when she could meet again.

I was scared to death, "Dming, do you want to die?"

"The little one's life is the young master's. The young master doesn't let the little one die. How dare the little one die?" Mr. Ming said quickly outside.

Nowadays, Minmin is also dressed as a rich young master.

"Young master, the road sign in front of you has been in the direction of the canal. It seems that He Xiao... Mr. He has taken things with him and is ready to board the ship." Mr. Ming said.

"Then why don't you go quickly!"

"Yes, driver, speed up!"

"Drive!" With the wriage's whip, the carriage began to speed up.

"Sir, we can't transport your coffin on this ship. This is ominous and will sink." The boss of the boat said.

When I arrived at the mouth of the canal, I didn't expect to be in trouble again.

"I'll double your pay. Is that okay?" He Zhaoyi said.

"It's not a matter of money. It really doesn't work. You can find another boat!" The boss of the boat continued.

"Knows, don't toast and don't eat punishment. Let me tell you, our son is a resounding figure in Dadu. Today, you will be lucky, and you will be lucky!" Xuan Lao said on the side.

"Xiao Xuan, don't be unreasonable." He Zhaoyi said, "Even if we have great power, we can't bully others, can we? Pay you three times the cost of the boat, which is already very high. If I hadn't been in a hurry to go back before Tomb-sweeping Day, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to hire a boat. There are more than 30 ships in my house, but none of them are in Dadu.

One of them sang a red face and the other sang a white face. The boatman was very stubborn and refused to carry the coffin.

"Your ship was requisitioned by the court." Suddenly, a voice came from the distance.
