Chapter 1923 Pushed Out (Second Update)
Farewell to Yang Yongjin and Cao Bamei, Yang Ruoqing also turned around and got on the carriage, driving all the way towards Qingshui Town.
There were two carriages when we went to the capital, but there were four carriages when we came back.
The two extra cars belong to Zhou Xia, and the other one is for luggage.
Part of these luggage are things Yang Ruoqing purchased from the capital as gifts for her family.
Others are real gold and silver rewards from the emperor.
This trip to the capital is really rewarding. It has been appreciated by the emperor, which is beneficial to Luo Fengtang's future.
With the reward and more capital, the business can expand to other areas, instead of just being limited to restaurants and catering.
"What kind of broken road is this? What kind of broken carriage is this? It's so bumpy that my heart, liver, spleen and lungs are about to be knocked out!"
In the carriage behind, Zhou Xia started to complain again .
Yang Ruoqing was sitting side by side with Luo Fengtang on the carriage in front of her. When the voice came, the two of them had a tacit agreement to ignore it and didn't even turn their heads.
Later, Zhou Xia’s complaints came again.
"Stop, stop, I want to get off!"
She slapped the inner wall of the car hard and shouted.
Although the carriage driver is also from the Xiangyang Palace, it is these people at the bottom who have more discernment.
No matter how Zhou Xia yelled and scolded, Luo Fengtang and his carriage in front did not slow down, and the carriage driver pretended not to hear Zhou Xia's commotion.
It wasn't until Luo Fengtang and his carriage stopped in front that the carriage driver behind finally slowed down the carriage and stopped.
Before the car came to a complete stop, the maid inside was pushed out by Zhou Xia.
"Princess, my servant will help you."
The maid quickly helped open the curtain of the carriage and helped Zhou Xia get out of the carriage.
Zhou Xia covered her mouth and nose with one hand. As soon as her feet hit the ground, she hurried to the side of the carriage, leaned over the outer wall of the carriage and retched.
I was so sick that I felt heartbroken, the sky was dark and the earth was dark...
"Are you almost done?"
Luo Fengtang came not far behind Zhou Xia, with an indifferent expression on his face asked.
Zhou Xia took out the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, turned around, and looked at Luo Fengtang pitifully.
"Cousin..."
"It's almost time to get in the car." Luo Fengtang urged.
Zhou Xia frowned and said softly: "Cousin, this coachman's driving skills are really poor, and the road is too bumpy. I feel so uncomfortable and want to take a rest..."
Luo Fengtang said: "This is also a year The newly renovated official road is not bumpy. You should get in the car quickly. We must arrive in Qingshui Town before noon." After saying this, he didn't look at her anymore and turned back to his place in front. In the carriage, he sat side by side with Yang Ruoqing.
Zhou Xia also saw Yang Ruoqing take out an apple, took a bite of it herself, and then brought it to Luo Fengtang's mouth for him to take a bite too.
The young couple looked at each other and smiled, then he waved his whip and the carriage drove out again.
Zhou Xia gritted her teeth secretly.
The maid stood aside, shrinking her neck. She would never dare to say anything at this time, wishing that her sense of existence would be reduced to zero.
“Princess, get in the car, don’t waste time!”
The coachman came over to ask for instructions.
Zhou Xia glared at the coachman again, she was really snobbish.
In the past, when I was favored by the old concubine, I would go on spring outings every time to enjoy plum blossoms, snow and so on.
Park where you want and stay on the side of the road for as long as you want.
Who dares to say 'no'?
They all come here to pursue and please them.
Now, even the humblest coachman dares to speak to him in this tone. "I want you to look good when we get back to the Prince of Xiangyang's Mansion!"
She said fiercely to the carriage driver, fluttering her sleeves and angrily getting into the carriage.
The carriage driver looked aggrieved, who did I offend?
An abandoned princess, who was picked up from outside by the old dowager herself, dares to pick on me like this?
I am a senior and low-level servant of the Xiangyang Palace!
The coachman also jumped on the carriage and raised the whip in his hand.
On the next journey, the coachman was completely showing off his driving skills, using various tricks to drive the carriage.
But Zhou Xia in the car behind was in trouble. She staggered around and almost fell out several times.
In the end, the master and the servant hugged each other, yelling and screaming all the way, and arrived in Qingshui Town in a lively manner.
When they arrived in Qingshui Town, Zhou Xia’s carriage was completely quiet.
Why?
I shouted all the way until I collapsed, and now I didn’t even have the strength to open my mouth.
Looking at the unusually quiet carriage, Luo Fengtang looked away and discussed this with Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er, I have to take her back to Zhoujiacun in person and hand her over to my aunt."
"How about you go back to the village first?" he said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "If we come out together, we will go back together. It doesn't matter. You escort Zhou Xia back to Zhoujiacun first. I just happened to go to communicate with Fourth Uncle and Chef Zhou and wait for you."
Luo Fengtang said: "Okay, I'll come back as soon as possible to take you back to the village."
The two of them will split up for the time being.
In the middle of the afternoon, Luo Fengtang came back.
At this time, Yang Ruoqing had also finished chatting with several stewards such as Yang Huaming, Chef Zhou and Liu, and was drinking tea and chatting there.
Seeing Luo Fengtang return, Yang Ruoqing's eyes lit up.
"I left some food for you. Eat a bowl before returning to the village." She said.
Luo Fengtang said: "No, my aunt cooked me a bowl of poached eggs, and I came back after eating them."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, thinking that Luo Da'e still had some conscience and knew that she felt sorry for this eldest nephew of her mother's family.
Yang Ruoqing stood up and said goodbye to Yang Huaming and the others, and returned to Changping Village with Luo Fengtang and Xiao Yaxue.
The sun sets, the familiar road, the familiar fields and crops on both sides of the road.
The wheat is about to mature. A gust of wind blows, and the waves of wheat are like a golden ocean.
When I left, the rapeseed flowers were in full bloom. When I came back now, the flowers had long withered.
The fruit is full of rapeseed clips, which is particularly pleasing.
"In a dozen or two days, the real farming season will begin." Yang Ruoqing said to Luo Fengtang.
"Cut the rapeseed and thresh the wheat."
The rapeseed is dried and sent to the oil mill to be pressed into rapeseed oil, which is enough for farmers to eat for a year.
Wheat is ground into powder and becomes the second staple food after rice.
Thinking that the harvest season will soon come, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but smile sincerely on her face.
Luo Fengtang's eyes warmed a little when he saw her smile.
“When I was a child, what I looked forward to most was harvesting wheat.” He also spoke out.
“At this time of year, there is always a shortage of food, and there is no food in the first month. Now I am eating wild vegetable porridge.”
“I still remember one year when the wheat was harvested, my uncle Use freshly ground wheat flour to roll the noodles for me. I felt so full that day that the most delicious thing in the world was a bowl of noodles!”
There was reminiscence in his eyes.
