MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 314 The road is difficult
The journey from north to south is not difficult, but it is difficult to get up quickly because we have to worry about their family members.
Luo Yuan had some objections to the stop-and-go speed, so he muttered something next to the carriage and horses parked not far away.
"If we march with the Tigers and Ben troops, we can reach this point in less than ten days. But now we spend most of the day resting. It is estimated that we will not be able to reach Jinling City until the twelfth lunar month."
“Can’t you see the young and old in this car? Do you think they are all as rough-skinned and fleshy as you?”
Wei Lun, the deputy captain of the Guards, scolded him, which made Luo Yuan burst into laughter. Then he patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Isn't my mouth itchy? I always have to say a few words when I have nothing to do? You see, you see, Brother Wei, please don't get angry with me. There is still a long way to go. The general doesn't talk much. If If you stop talking to me, I will choke to death."
His words did not bring joy to Wei Lun, but instead received a cold snort and a roll of eyes.
The twelve lieutenants, each one has his or her own temperament, either fiery, steady, wise, or calm, but none of them is as talkative as Luo Yuan.
When Wei Lun knew that he was going to accompany a group of people going south, he only had two older ones. He privately thought that Zheng Deli would be the most suitable person for this errand, but Lao Zheng was ordered to do other things, so this drudgery fell through. in his body.
God knows that he never stopped listening to Luo Yuan's words along the way. His ears were numb, so it was still a small matter that he was not far away. He was afraid that Luo Yuan's ears would be confused by Luo Yuan's words before they arrived at Jinling City. Oh, that’s troublesome!
Picked up the dried meat in his hand and took a bite. Looking at Luo Yuan, his eyes were also glowing with green light. Luo Yuan couldn't help but swallowed water and said.
“Hey, my meat is not delicious. Brother Wei, you should eat more dried meat!”
After saying that, Luo Yuan immediately turned around and left. When he left, the hay was still stuck to his buttocks. He reached out and patted it, which was faster than running a horse.
Wei Lun chuckled, and his ears finally became clearer.
The stopped chariots and horses surrounded the city, so that the guards could protect them together. Shang Ji first went to Du Jingyi's chariot to see the mother and son. Seeing that they were in good spirits, he said comfortingly.
“We’ve already traveled half the distance, and we’ll be there in a few more days.”
Du Jingyi didn't have any problems along the way, he was just a little sleepy and felt like vomiting after being jostled by the carriage and horse. Everything else was fine.
She nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Tai Geer, who was leaning in her arms, was sleeping soundly. The child had been happy from the beginning until now. He slept when he was full and ate when he was full. The long journey seemed to have no impact on him.
This fact makes both the couple feel relieved.
Then Shang Ji went to see the carriage where Mrs. Gu was.
Compared to Du Jingyi and Tai Geer, she is in better spirits. After all, she has been traveling with Marshal Gu since she was young, so the distance is not a problem.
"I have nothing to do. You should spend more time to see their mother and son, especially Tagore."
“My grandson knows, grandma should rest first.”
"good."
Among the few people, the one with the best spirits is naturally the fourth aunt. She is eager to return home, and she already has martial arts skills. She used to be sluggish in the Gu house, but now she feels a lot more comfortable when she is wandering outside. .
From time to time, I ran to Li Zhu to see how the female **** team she led was doing, so it was nothing serious. Among all the people in the group, the most painful ones are Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun.
The two of them have basically not traveled far since they entered the palace. Occasionally, when they follow His Majesty and the Queen on their southern tour, they mostly travel by water, and they often stop at the shore for several days, so it is better than the bumpy road. A lot of.
Therefore, during this journey, the two of them were so bloated that they could no longer vomit water. Their faces were either pale or sallow, and they looked like they only had half their lives left.
However, this trip cannot be delayed, and we can't just stay here for the two of them, so we can only take some drowsy drugs every day, and just lie down to feel more comfortable.
Shang Ji didn't mean to be pity for her, but after all, she was a girl gifted by the emperor, and it was hard to die of vomiting before she arrived at Jinling City, so he also arranged for two maids who were in good health to wait on her personally.
It makes them feel very grateful.
“Let’s rest for another quarter of an hour and we’ll set off.”
“Yes, General.”
The members of the Guards all traveled day and night to the north and south of the Daxing Dynasty, so the distance was not a problem.
When winter entered, the sound of the wind never stopped.
It would be better if they walked from north to south like this. They could still get warm as they walked on the road, but the wind and snow in Ancheng came as promised.
On this day, the elder sister-in-law Liu took her eighth sister Xue Niang to visit the Du family.
The road was already covered with snow, and the pedestrians were all wearing thick coats. The same was true for the two of them. They were both wearing turbans under their big cloaks. They were still holding the gilded heater in their hands, sitting in the airtight room. It's not cold inside even though the carriages and horses are driving.
"Uncle and aunt of the Du family are very polite. They invite us to come and get together every three days. It seems that they are afraid that we will be alone. I am also thinking that there is no one in the house this year, so it is only the two of us having the reunion dinner. It's so deserted, why not invite uncles and aunts from the Du family to come to the General's Mansion to liven things up."
Sister-in-law Liu said immediately.
“Sister-in-law, won’t you let Ping’er come back?”
"No more. What grandma said is that the eyes of the Duke's Palace are staring at him now. If possible, it is better to stay in Jinling City. When the sixth brother and the others come back, they will be with me since then. I will have to pay more attention to him." I can feel more at ease.”
Hearing this, the eighth sister Xue Niang understood quite well, so she smiled at the sister-in-law's suggestion.
“The idea sounds good, sister-in-law, but I don’t know if uncles and aunts of the Du family are willing to do it.”
“Let’s talk to them later. If they agree, then we can get ready when we go back.”
"Um."
The two carriages and horses were driving slowly in the busy city, and happened to land on the two sisters of the Wei family, Wei Jialian and Silang's wife, who were dining outside in Changchun Tower.
“The carriages and horses from the General’s Mansion are heading towards the Du family again?”
Wei Jialian asked curiously. Silang's wife took one look at her and said with jealousy.
“It’s only they who can make officials and merchants mingle like this. These days, many people’s posts are sent to the general’s mansion, but they don’t show their faces and just hide.”
