Chapter 981: Delay Strategy

Li Laosan probably heard it, but he turned around and added, "Remember, you don't have to prepare Mr. Tang's meals in the future!"

Dazhu’s wife had a bunch of questions in her head. Unfortunately, when she wanted to ask more questions, Li Laosan walked away...

The morning in Xindu is really lively because of the arrival of spring.

The diligent farmers planted green vegetables in the garden early, or went to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables, washed them clean, tied them neatly, and then squeezed in as soon as the city gate opened and handed them to the buyers, even bringing them with them. Crystal dew!

Jiayin suddenly dreamed of Chinese toon last night and thought this was the right time.

So, I got up early and changed into a cotton dress, brought Shuiling, and planned to go to the market to buy some wild vegetables.

There is a small market not far from the back street of Earl's Palace. He is naughty and naughty. He often goes there for a walk, so he is familiar with the market.

At this moment, she was leading the way, jumping up and down and shouting, "Princess, please hurry up, you are going late, be careful not to buy good things."

Jiayin was infected by her joy and took a few steps, but when she opened the back door, Shui Ling screamed in surprise.

Jiayin stepped forward and saw that the third uncle was standing outside the door, his clothes soaked by the morning mist.

“Third uncle, when did you come back? Why didn’t you call the door?”

Li Laosan looked a little embarrassed and smiled quickly, "I came in as soon as the city gate opened. I thought my family would be worried, so I took a detour here."

Jiayin immediately asked, "But is there something going on at the academy? I asked Shui Ling to call the second uncle, who hasn't gone out yet!"

Li Laosan quickly stopped him, "No, I'll go to the front yard by myself. Do you want to go out to play? Go ahead. Pay attention to your safety and come back early!"

Jiayin saw that he looked wrong, his eyes were a little evasive, and he vaguely guessed something in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Uncle San, I will go to the market to buy toon. I will fry toon eggs and millet porridge later. You must stay for breakfast!" "

“Okay, Uncle San has nothing major to be busy with. He must have eaten before leaving.” Li Laosan hurriedly agreed and then entered the door.

Jiayin closed the door and no one saw her throw the little fox in the door.

The little fox was sleeping soundly in the space. He was suddenly woken up by his owner and assigned a task. He was still a little confused.

But it doesn’t dare to be lazy and disobey orders. After all, it can’t throw away its long-term meal ticket.

Jiayin had something on her mind, so she hurriedly bought a few bundles of Chinese toon in the market and returned to the Earl's Mansion.

As soon as I returned to the yard, I saw my sister-in-law greeting the maids and women to carry things.

She asked, "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Wan'er gave the maid a few instructions, then stepped forward to pick her up and said, "Third uncle has just come back. He said that there is a large caravan going to the southwest. He is leaving today and asked your elder brother to accompany him on the journey."

"This is a good thing! The journey was originally long, and I was worried that Uncle Hei and the others wouldn't be able to protect my eldest brother. With such a good opportunity, it couldn't be safer for hundreds of people to travel together." Jiayin comforted her sister-in-law and said with a smile, "The big brothers on the left and right are leaving too, within a day or two."

Wan'er was a little reluctant to part with her at first, but after hearing these words, she thought about it.

“Yes, your eldest brother and the others are in the study. You go and have a look. I’m anxious to check my luggage again.”

"Okay, sister-in-law, I've prepared some food for my eldest brother to eat on the way. I'll ask Shuiyun to bring it over." Jiayin said and hurried to the front yard.

Seeing the good news coming, everyone who was not looking good at first bowed their heads and drank tea.

Jiaren called his sister to him and said with a smile, "Fu Niu'er, my eldest brother is about to take up his post. From now on, we need you to worry more about the family!"

“Brother, don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one in the family will be wronged.” Jiayin looked at the steady and elegant eldest brother in front of her, feeling sour in her heart.

The process of growing up is the process of constant separation. In the past few years, her brothers who loved her have left one after another, and the family is no longer as lively as it was when she was a child.

But she should be happy, because her brothers are heading towards their bright future!

“Brother, don’t worry about me. Just take care of yourself when you are outside. I will often let caravans pass by. I will also write to tell eldest brother about matters at home, just as if you have not left.”

Jiaren’s eyes turned red, he hugged his sister and patted her shoulder gently.

Li Laoer sighed and said from the side, "Fu Niu'er, your brother has gone too far this time, and I'm still worried. I heard that Mu Wewei lived in the southwest for a few years before, can you let him send you off? Brother, are you here?"

Jiayin’s heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked at San Bo.

Li Laosan kept his head down, looking very guilty.

Just when everyone thought that Jiayin was about to inquire, she said readily, "Okay, second uncle, I am either in the palace or at home. There is no danger and no need for protection. But the eldest brother has a long way to go, and the people who are following him The more hands the better.”

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, fearing that the secret would be revealed if they continued talking, so they all told Jiaren to be careful on the road.

Jiayin went to the kitchen and met a little fox on the way. He hugged it and chattered for a long time, then he fried Chinese toon eggs and made the side dishes that the two eldest brothers liked to eat.

After the breakfast table is set and the whole family sits around, eating hot porridge, steamed buns and side dishes, it is considered Jiaren’s practical banquet.

In front of the mansion, a dozen carriages were lined up, and they were busy loading suitcases, half of which were various books.

The servants, entourage, and veterans who followed him to the southwest were all carefully selected by the family, and there were more than thirty.

In addition, the master Mr. Liu helped to find was in a certain county he passed by on the way.

Mr. Liu has already written a letter. It will be convenient to take it with him when the time comes so that we can go to the office together.

Wan'er was busy holding back her sadness, tears already welling up in her eyes.

Jiaren sighed inwardly, and when no one was paying attention, he held her hand and told her, "It's hard for you to take care of me at home, so don't worry about me. I will pick you up as soon as possible in the autumn."

"Well, husband...you must take care of yourself! Don't be busy with official duties and forget to eat and sleep." Wan'er choked and held her husband's hand tightly.

Jiaren stretched out his arms to hug her, and then strode out of the door.

Zheng Yi held the riding whip and sat on the shaft of the carriage. On the other side sat Mu Jue, who looked unhappy.

Zheng Yi was used to seeing Mu Jue's playful look, but he was not used to it now, so he whispered, "Brother Mu, I'm just going to the southwest, and I'll be back in a few months. Why are you... Are you happy?"

Mu Jue waved his hands but said nothing and didn’t know what to say.

When the third master suddenly came back from the academy, the Li family immediately asked him to go to the southwest. This was a very obvious intention.

It must be that the third uncle did not listen to his warning and did something without authorization, which angered the Li family.

The Li family just wanted to temporarily transfer him away!

In this way, this matter will be suspended to prevent the third uncle from continuing to make trouble and ruining the reputation of the princess.

Even if he is more ruthless, he will be kept in the southwest until the end of the Northern Expedition and the Marquis comes back, and he will never have a chance again.

No, we can’t just give up!

Mu Jue’s fists shrunk in his sleeves clenched loudly!
