Autumn is getting deeper, the heat of summer has completely dissipated, and it is a good time for the crisp autumn air.【】

The simple carriage moved forward slowly, and the horse's hooves made a crisp "tap-tat" sound on the bluestone. Outside the raised dusty curtain were various small stalls, and there were small stalls guarding the stalls.

There are couples, old people, and occasionally you can see big, round men and pretty girls.

It seems that the sky has just reached midnight, and this small street has begun to be busy. The stalls selling bean juice and tea are even more lively. The porridge seller next to him is not to be outdone, shouting at the top of his voice: "Porridge, lotus seed porridge."

, mountain chestnut porridge, meat porridge, both sweet and salty, the price is reasonable, you will regret it if you try it.”

It's so good, so vibrant, so fresh and real. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Well, there is the sweet aroma of bean juice, the rosin of firewood, the meaty aroma of cakes...

I couldn't help but ordered Cuiwei to go down and buy some Poria porridge. She drank it slowly while holding a simple small pottery bowl. Although the rice was not a famous brand, it was thoroughly boiled. The Poria cocos was also ground into powder, and two ounces of it were added.

A round, chubby little red date tastes soft and waxy, with the delicate and smooth aroma of Poria cocos. It swims smoothly into the stomach, making the body feel warm and comfortable.

After finishing the porridge, sleepiness came over her head. Cui Wei worriedly advised her, "Miss, please take a nap. It will be quite a while before we get to Qingzhou."

Yu Zhu didn't try to be brave and fell asleep holding her belly.

Cuiwei carefully covered Yuzhu with a blanket. She looked at the carriage door curtain and felt quite embarrassed. She quietly cleared her throat and silently recited what she wanted to say several times in her heart. Then she suppressed her shame and said, "Xing

Brother Hua, thank you so much this time...I've caused you trouble again."

I couldn't help but despise myself in my heart, but I still stuttered. I couldn't help but slap myself on the pink cheek.

"Miss Cuiwei, you don't have to be polite, it's not worth anything." Although her voice was a little hoarse during the voice change period, it was no less than Xianle in Cuiwei's ears, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up in a big arc.

"But the victims of the Qingzhou disaster are making a lot of noise now. I heard from my father that I have been sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief. Why should Miss go?" The imperial edict had just arrived and the news had not spread yet, but Xinghua's father, Li Guan, was Lin.

The chief manager of the government has followed Lin Yuanzhi to Qingzhou this time. It would not be surprising for his only son to know about it.

Cui Wei was not sure what Yu Zhu was thinking, so she just said: "How can I, a slave, know the master's thoughts?" and then moved on.

Although Li Xinghua tried hard to make the carriage run more steadily on the rugged road, Yu Zhu was still awakened. She stretched out her milky white hands to rub her hazy eyes, and asked Cuiwei in a soft voice where she was.

Cuiwei opened the curtain and took a look and replied: "We have arrived outside Dengzhou City. If you go further, you will reach the Jianshui River. After crossing the river, you will reach Qingzhou." There was a little excitement in her words. After all, as the young lady's personal assistant

Maid, she hasn't been out for a long time.

The cool autumn wind carries the refreshing fragrance of wild chrysanthemums and blows in through the window, refreshing the mind. The air is as fresh as dewdrops, and the blue sky seems to have been washed, giving off a soft radiance, clear and ethereal. I can vaguely hear the singing of skylarks.

The lingering mist in the mountains and forests in the distance slowly dissipated, and the outline of the Jianshui River finally became clear.

The carriage stopped steadily by the river. Yu Zhu put a veil on his face and helped Cui Wei's hand to get out of the carriage.

Due to the closure of the city in Qingzhou, the official pier on the river has been guarded very strictly. Don't even think about coming out. You will be interrogated even when you enter. As Yu Zhu is still in the boudoir, he certainly cannot be interrogated. Then

The only option is to cross privately.

Cui Wei whirled anxiously: "Miss, what should I do? I'm sure I won't be able to get through it. It's better to report the solution. I can't wade through this muddy water."

Yu Zhu smiled slightly, calmly gave his maid a comforting look, turned to Li Xinghua and said: "You walk along the river, be careful not to be discovered, and bring people with you if you meet them.

see me."

The young man never dared to look up at Yu Zhu. After hearing the instructions, he bowed obediently and left.

After a while, a woman wearing a raincap hat came. When Yu Zhu saw it, she turned out to be Mother Liu.

Mother Liu was obviously startled. When she came to her senses, she immediately scolded Cui Wei with a livid face: "Why are you such a bad person that you dare to bring the young lady here? Who gave you the courage..."

"Oh, Mother Liu, don't blame Cuiwei, I have to come. Take me across the river quickly. I know how to cure the epidemic." Yu Zhu quickly interrupted Mother Liu, this was not the place to talk.

.

"Miss, this is no joke..." Mother Liu turned around and wanted to persuade Yu Zhu again, but she suddenly realized the meaning of the last sentence, and her bloodshot eyes were full of confusion and surprise. "Miss.

,Are you serious? This is not..."

"I know, of course this is no joke. Don't delay any longer. You can send me the way you want to send your mother." Yu Zhu stuck out his tongue playfully.

"What? Madam is here too." Cui Wei opened her eyes wide and looked at Liu's mother accusingly, like looking at a thief who was shouting to catch a thief.

Mother Liu lowered her eyes in embarrassment and muttered: "There's nothing we can do about it. Madam refuses to leave me no matter what..." After speaking, her eyes turned red again: "Sister, don't blame Madam for not loving you and leaving you alone.

In the den of tigers and wolves in the capital, Madam is also feeling miserable. She is worried that the master will be alone... and she is also afraid that the young master and the young lady will suffer hardship and be bullied in the future. She has not slept every night for the past few days, making arrangements and plans..."

Fu forced a smile and said: "God bless, everything will be safe and sound." Yu Zhu felt sour in her heart. In fact, she could have told Lin Yuanzhi the method last night, but for Cui's sake, she was gambling, for her mother's sake.

Dad’s sincerity.

Standing on the small boat, Yu Zhu clenched his hand. If he won the bet, then Cui would have a very beautiful second half of his life. This may be the only chance. At present...

Yu Zhu couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth. Although she was only wearing simple and ordinary maid clothes and only covered her face, the only exposed eyes flashed with a bright light in an instant, as if the flowers, plants and leaves all over the mountains and fields had become a foil...

The odds of winning are great.

Mother Liu may have learned how to punt, but the boat was as obedient as a child in her hands, and it reached the other side in a short while.

Apparently she had already gained experience when she had just sent Cui off. Mother Liu skillfully led Yu Zhu into the city avoiding the officers and soldiers.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Yuzhu couldn't help but admire the miracle of the Creator. Just crossing a river, the climate has changed so much. Qingzhou is obviously hotter than Dengzhou. Even in autumn, it still feels like summer here.

Last but not least.

After entering the city, there would be no interrogation. Yuzhu followed closely behind Liu's mother, but he was bored and focused on recalling geography. Qingzhou and Dengzhou are very close to each other, so they must be close to the sea, but the climate is like this

, Well, there should be tall mountains around it, blocking the water vapor-rich wind blowing from the sea... What kind of climate does it belong to...

Just when I was happily reminiscing about my shining A in geography in the junior high school entrance examination, I heard Mrs. Cui's frightened cry.
