Chapter 497 498 Farewell
"You can even think of this, my wife is smarter than others," Zhou Jia happily kissed Li Yu, "They also thought of this method, and tomorrow there will be news that the eldest prince and his wife are sick.
Your Majesty will send a decree for the head of the Cheng family to come to Kyoto to visit the eldest prince and his wife. As the imperial envoy, I will arrive in Yuezhou together with the person who sent the decree. The secret guards will cooperate with me to secretly search for evidence. "
Li Yu rolled his eyes at him, "Don't flatter me! If I don't tell you, you won't tell me. Now you have learned from them to say half and keep half!"
Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with aggrieved expression on his face, "Madam, you are wronged! I never wanted to hide it from you, I was just afraid that you would worry."
Seeing his mischievous look, Li Yu smiled and kissed him on the lips, "Okay! I believe you. When will you leave? Go and talk to Ruyi and Zhaocai first, and they will also go home and talk to their wife. , I’ll go find the husband to prepare some pills for you, take them with you.”
Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu reluctantly and said, "We'll set off tomorrow at about time. I'll go find my husband to get the pills. I'll also go find Ruyi, Lucky and Lucky, and tell them about this."
Li Yu nodded, "Go ahead! It'll only take one night. Tell them early and let them go back to prepare."
Li Yu watched Zhou Jia striding out and thought: It seems that Chu Yuhao has long planned to send Xiao Xi to Yuezhou. Yuezhou is a month and a half away from Kyoto. If he goes with the eunuch who delivers the order, it will be safe on the road. , when we arrived in Yuezhou, we still didn’t know what kind of difficulties we would face.
Zhou Jia and Ruyi told Ji Xiang, "You must be careful at home. The Cheng family has been operating in Kyoto for decades. Don't underestimate them. You must protect your wife and young master."
After hearing this, Ji Xiang was a little worried about Zhou Jia's safety. With red eyes, he bowed and said, "Don't worry, sir. You should pay attention to safety when you go out and come back soon."
"He's going to be a father soon, and he still loves to cry."
Zhou Jia smiled and patted the red-rimmed Ji Xiang, then turned to look at Ruyi and the other two, "Ruyi, you and Zhaocai go back, make some arrangements at home, and set off tomorrow."
"Yes, sir." The two of them saluted and left.
Zhou Jia went to Li Qing's house again, told Li Qing that he was going to Yuezhou, and then went to Lin's house with Li Qing. They talked secretly in Lin Zexu's study for more than an hour before going home separately.
Zhou Jia went back and saw that Li Yu had packed his luggage and was there with Yangyang to entertain the twins who had woken up.
Yueyue looked at Yangyang who was talking to him, her mouth opening and closing. Yangyang looked up and saw Zhou Jia, "Dad, look at Yueer, she wants to talk."
Zhou Jia walked to the cradle, looked at Yueyue with her little mouth pinched, and then at Xingxing, who was lying lazily in Li Yu's arms, and said with a smile: "Yueyue will definitely be a chatterbox in the future, and Xingxing is a little lazy pig."
Yangyang thought so, "Yeah! I talked to Xing'er for a long time, and he just said "Oh."
Zhou Jia sat on the chair, held Yangyang in his arms, looked at him and said warmly: "Yang'er, daddy is going out for inspection tomorrow. You can help daddy protect mother and brother at home, can you do it?"
Yangyang looked up at Zhou Jia and touched his forehead, "Dad, my mother told me just now. Don't worry, I will protect my mother and brothers."
Zhou Jia touched their foreheads with him, looked at the little man pretending to be an adult with joy, and said with a smile: "Okay, the eldest son of the Zhou family is already a little man."
After hearing this, Yangyang looked at Zhou Jia happily and said, "Dad, I want to be a general in the future."
Zhou Jia smiled and nodded, "Okay! We have to go to school tomorrow morning. It's time for our general to go to bed."
"Well! Mom, you should also take a rest early."
Li Yu smiled and nodded to him. Zhou Jia sent Yangyang to sleep and turned around, letting Nanny Chen and the wet nurse take away the twins.
He walked over and hugged Li Yu who was sitting at the table wiping her sleeves, kissed her temples, and whispered softly, "Yu'er, don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible."
Li Yu loaded up the arrows and leaned into Zhou Jia's arms, "I believe you. Don't leave your sleeve arrows after you go out. Remember to be vigilant. If something goes wrong, you must protect yourself first."
"Yeah!" Zhou Jia lowered his head and kissed her.
Early the next morning, Ruyi and Zhaocai returned home. Li Yu told the two of them, "The master's task this time is very difficult. Remember not to leave the master. When encountering problems, you must take a detour and don't confront others head-on.
If you want to find out information, you can bribe those beggars who walk the streets to find out information. "
"Yes, madam." Ruyi and Zhaocai bowed in agreement.
Zhou Jia walked out of the house with her luggage. Ruyi stepped forward to take the luggage. Li Yu led someone to take them to the gate. Zhou Jia turned around and looked at Li Yu and said: "Madam, sir, we are leaving."
Mr. Wen and Li Yu nodded, "Come back soon."
Watching the four people get on the carriage, Tie Zhu saluted Li Yu, raised his whip and drove the carriage away. Li Yu stood there and watched the carriage gradually go away.
Mr. Wen said to Li Yu: "Xiaoyu, do you want to go to Wangjia'ao today?"
Li Yu nodded, "Sir, Han San and the others don't know how to grow sweet potatoes yet. I have to go to Wangji'ao to have a look."
"Go ahead! Go early and come back early." Mr. Wen said.
Li Yu waited for Jixiang to notify Chu Fu, and then took Xinghua to Wangjia'ao. The bright sunshine shone on her body, making her feel lazy. Xinghua leaned on the small table and fell asleep.
Li Yu saw from the window that there were busy figures along the road. Some were driving cattle to plow the fields, and some were raking and hoeing in preparation for spring planting.
The willow trees by the river have grown new green leaves, and the jasmine flowers have bloomed bright yellow petals. The countryside is full of spring.
Li Yu watched with interest as the car walked across the covered bridge towards Zhuangzi. Han San was taking the tenants to dig ridges in the field at the door, preparing to transplant sweet potato seedlings.
Han Song saw the carriage coming and shouted loudly: "Dad, dad, madam is here."
Han San turned around and saw the carriage approaching, and said to Han Song: "Song'er, go back and tell your grandmother and your mother to kill two chickens, go to the bamboo forest and bring back some bamboo shoots, and then go to the butcher shop to buy a few kilograms of meat."
"Oh, oh, oh! Go break the bamboo shoots!" Han Song jumped back.
Tang Yong glanced at Han San and said, "Brother Han, my wife likes to eat fish. My eldest son caught some bighead fish from the river this morning. I will bring them to add to my wife's dishes."
Han San thought that Li Yu liked to eat pickled fish, so he nodded and said, "Thank you very much. I'll give it to you later based on the street price. My wife said that the things you are looking for are to be sold to support the family, and we are not allowed to do so." Take your food for free.”
Tang Yong sighed: "Madam is just too polite. She always gives me money every time I buy something."
He Dachun also smiled and said: "It turned out that I was planning to return the land to the tenants. Fortunately, Brother Tang persuaded me to stop. Otherwise, I would even regret it in my intestines."
