Chapter 42：

Probably sincere is the spirit, and after lunch, the rain gradually reduced.

Zhanping also came to report, saying that the roadblock in front was almost cleared and it was able to pass through again.

Everyone began to pack up, ready to set off again.

Linglong followed Tao Ti's instructions and took an oil-paper umbrella to the grandparents and grandchildren. "Old man, our wife asked me to give it to you. You can go home with the umbrella."

The old man was startled, took it with both hands, and repeatedly thanked him, "Your wife is really kind, ah, the little old man is lucky today and met a good person."

Linglong smiled, "Yes, our wife has always been kind to others."

She glanced at the shy little grandson behind the old man, and asked more, "Old man, your grandson is only eight or nine years old. At such a young age, did you go up the mountain to collect medicine with you?"

The old man shook his head and sighed a long way, "This child's parents have gone early, and there is an old man like me left in the house. I can't worry about leaving him alone at home, and I can learn something with him."

Upon hearing this, Linglong showed sympathy and whispered, "Oh, it's not easy."

A little court lady came over and said, "Sister Linglong, we should go now."

Linglong responded, but saw that the old man picked up the back basket and handed it to her, "This girl, I think your wife is good at cooking. Take these wild vegetables and eat them on the road."

"Huh? This..."

"Take it, it's not worth a lot of money. The meeting today is also fate. You are both taking medicine and giving umbrellas. Although the little old man is a rural person, he also knows the principle of courtesy."

Linglong took the back basket, "Well then, thank you Lao Zhang."

The rain was hazy and the sky was dim.

Tao Ti was sitting on the carriage, and when she heard the exquisite call from the window, she slightly opened some of the windows. When she saw the bamboo basket in Linglong's arms, she frowned, "This is?"

Linglong explained, saying that the old man had left the basket of wild vegetables to her, and said that the grandparents and grandchildren depend on each other for their lives.

Tao Ti sighed for a while, and wanted to send someone a little bit of silver over, but the grandparents and grandchildren had already left under an umbrella and disappeared in the misty rain.

When the window closed again, Pei Yan saw Tao Ti resting her cheek with one hand and contemplating her eyebrows. When she was still thinking about the difficult situation of the grandparents and grandchildren, and was about to comfort her, she listened to her whispered, "The fungus can Used for scrambled eggs, bracken for cold dressing, shepherd's purse, um, is shepherd's purse and pork dumplings or shepherd's purse tofu soup..."

Pei Yan, "..."

Well, he was worrying too much.

——

Due to such a small episode of the heavy rain, when the group arrived at the post on the outskirts of Luoyang, it was already at the right time and the sky was completely dark.

Considering that they will be able to reach Luoyang tomorrow, and that all the accompanying soldiers are very hard today, Tao Ti asked Fu Xirui and the others to take out all the food left in the carriage and share them with the big guys.

Therefore, whether it was cooking instant noodles, dipping steamed buns with various sauces, bibimbap noodles, everyone really ate a delicious meal.

The old saying goes that eating people with short mouths makes people feel soft. They ate more or less the food brought by the princess along the way, and naturally they have more respect and love for the princess—

"If it weren't for the princess, we could only eat dried buns and white steamed buns along the way. How could there be so many delicious things."

"Yes, yes! The princess is really amazing, she can make so many delicious things. Especially this noodle, how did she come up with it, it is convenient and tastes good, even the noodle comes with soup, a bowl of belly, It's warm in my stomach!"

"Who can say no? This instant noodle is really fragrant, more fragrant than just cooked in the noodle shop. I don’t know how easy it is. If it’s simple, we can also cook more in the barracks, and eat it when we go out on the march. This noodle is much better than dried buns."

When everyone heard this, they all thought this idea was a good idea. A small team leader pondered for a while and said, "Wait for me to find a chance, talk to Master Zhan, and see if the princess can give a recipe or something..."

When he said this, someone immediately added, "This sauce is also good, delicious, delicious and appetizing, and it tastes delicious with anything dipped in it... Last time you just cooked it with meat, it smelled delicious! No matter how you eat it! Son, don’t forget to ask about the sauce too!"

The little leader nodded and agreed, everyone continued to eat, and the more they ate, the more emotion they got—

"It would be nice if I could marry a clever daughter-in-law like the crown princess in the future. What a beautiful life then."

"I think you want to be beautiful, hahaha, a fairy like a princess, how can people like us dare to think about it."

"That's right, I think the crown prince is worthy of the world, only our highness!"

Sitting not far away flattened, "..."

Listen, what kind of **** these brash men are talking about!

Only the prince can be worthy of the princess? Although the meaning is good, did they get the priority wrong? !

It's obviously whether the princess can be worthy of the prince!

Just when he was upset, a bowl of steaming instant noodles appeared in front of him, and the little **** smiled and said, "Master Zhan, your noodles are cooked, you can eat them while they are hot."

Looking at the golden and fragrant instant noodles, flattened and swallowed—

Well, for now, he barely thinks that the prince... is worthy of his Royal Highness.

——

In the middle of the night, the rain gradually increased, accompanied by a faint muffled thunder.

Tao Ti was already asleep when Pei Yan returned to the room after washing.

This day was really tired. Under the light and shadow, she fell asleep on her side, curled and thick eyelashes like a small fan, casting a small shadow under her eyes.

Pei Yan put her arm on the outside back into the bed, and lay down gently, as if he was afraid of disturbing her sleep.

The curtain was lowered, as if cut off from the cold wind and rain outside, and between the bed curtains was another small world full of fragrance and stability.

With her even breathing, Pei Yan also fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was a burst of thunder from the sky, rumbling, very scary.

Tao Ti shook her body and woke up in shock.

She half-opened her eyes in a daze, and looked to her side in a daze. Seeing that the person beside her seemed to be awake, she almost instinctively reached out and patted his back lightly.

Feeling the gentle pat on his body, Pei Yan's body stiffened slightly.

I heard the little girl's soft, waxy, sleepy voice again, "It's okay, it's okay... it's just thunder, I'm not afraid..."

Pei Yan, who wanted to appease the little girl, said, "...?"

Why is it different from what he imagined?

At this time, shouldn't it be the little girl who was too scared to sleep, hiding in his arms and begging for refuge.

Although... the feeling of being so lightly coaxed by her is also pretty good.

Tao Ti didn't know the tangled mood of the man next to her. She was still half-dreaming and half-awake. She patted twice, and saw that the thunder outside had subsided a little. She sighed in relief and muttered, "No thunder, go to sleep. …"

She retracted her hand and continued to fall asleep, as if nothing had happened.

In the early morning of the next day, it rained and the sky was clear, and the air was fresh and fresh, with a faint scent of grass.

In this bright and sunny weather, everyone packed up and set off as early as possible.

Finally, in the early days, the group saw the towering gate of Luoyang City, and the greet team that had been waiting for a long time at the gate.
