After that, Wang Katie also got into a carriage, and under the protection of the Longhu Escort Bureau's escorts, drove away from Lan Mansion, left Xuzhou, and headed for the wilderness over there.
It turned out that after donating food yesterday and receiving the "private" approval from Baizhi County, Lan Chen also planned to send people to find his father.
This task is indeed quite arduous. Firstly, you have to go to the frontier, and secondly, you have to be sneaky.
If someone is not clever and is discovered by the government and the public, it will be a serious matter, or worse, it will be severe enough to be executed. After thinking about it, it seems that the only candidate left is Wang Katie.
When she heard that she had to travel far away again, Katie Wang didn't say much, she just complained in an extremely resentful tone - If Sir, you don't like the slave's body, just say so, why bother?
He drove me away again and again.
As soon as these words came out, Lan Chen was so shocked that he vomited out the warm wine in his mouth and trembled with fear.
And this made Katie Wang laugh.
The candidate has been decided, and finally there is a time limit. We will meet in more than half a month. If there is no news, then we will come back.
Naturally, while living far away, Wang Katie also had other important tasks, which was to collect information on the dyeing shops in the villages and towns along the way, as well as the affairs of various industries.
As for the hassle on the road, anyway, she had sobered up today. Wang Katie looked at the money she had taken last night, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
If you can find it, it's the best and you should be rewarded.
Even if you can't find it, it's okay, so you should still be rewarded.
Lan Chen's only request is that he leave safely and return safely.
And looking at the back of the carriage leaving, Lan Chen couldn't help but sigh, silently praying for safety and success, and at the same time he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I hope Katie Wang won't be so unlucky this time. If she gets kidnapped...
....At any rate, you'll have to get caught by a female bandit, but don't meet another rabbit..."
Thinking of the 'big white rabbit' in Magistrate Hua, Lan Chen couldn't help but tremble.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, so as not to have nightmares later. Zhu Laosan, prepare the dinner."
"Yes, Master."
Lan Chen, who was very hungry, was in a state of chaos after a meal.
The three people next to them, Zhu Lao San, Xiao Zhou and Lao Zheng, were so shocked that they were dumbfounded. Didn't the young master chew his food carefully and slowly a few days ago, in the style of an aristocrat, so why did he look like a hungry beggar today?
"Why are you standing there? Eat. Your young master and I are starving to death!"
I don’t know whether it was due to excessive exhaustion and rebirth, or because he was arrogant after becoming a great hero. At the dinner table, Lan Chen also rarely talked more. It can be said that he got drunk without drinking.
.
Regarding the change, Zhu Laosan and the others saw it with their eyes and were happy in their hearts, as if they had instantly shortened the invisible but tangible distance between them and Lan Chen.
"Okay, I've eaten enough, and I can hold on now. Xiao Zhou, come with me into the study and help me grind my ink."
"Okay, Master."
Xiao Zhou nodded, and at Zhu Laosan's signal, he followed Lan Chen, otherwise, she would have to stay and clear the table with Zhu Laosan.
The remaining two people, Zhu Laosan and Lao Zheng, also looked at each other subconsciously. Their eyes met for a moment, and many meanings were exchanged.
Finally, Lao Zheng spoke up and said, "By the way, Butler Zhu, our young master has almost finished his crowning ceremony?"
"yes."
"After the crowning ceremony is completed, it will be almost possible to start a family and start a business."
"Yes...ah, no! What are you thinking about? Our young master is engaged to the eldest lady of the Lin family!"
"Hey!" Old Zheng Yang raised his hand, "This kind of thing is normal. Besides, our Lord is extraordinary now, so it's okay to have a concubine!"
"Oh, let's talk about it again. This is the first time I see that the young master needs Xiao Zhou to study ink."
"Both each other..." Lao Zheng nodded.
At night, Lan Chen often stayed in the study if he was in Lan Mansion.
But he was basically the only one, and even Zhu Laosan just lingered outside the door, giving some water and food from time to time.
But tonight...
In fact, the two of them misunderstood.
On weekdays, Lan Chen mostly browsed books. If he needed to write a storybook, he would draw on the impressions in his mind and write quickly in one sitting.
But now I have to retell how to pray for rain. Regardless of the choice of words, sentences, or rhetoric, it requires patience and slow grinding, so I can only ask Xiao Zhou.
The candlelight flickered in the study room, reflecting on the brush and the white book. Lan Chen wrote stroke by stroke, and even used graphics to explain the principles - naturally, he still used the same "God's quilt"
Choked to tears' theory.
While Xiao Zhou was studying ink, he secretly looked at the young master who had served him for many years.
In a daze, the figure became more majestic.
As he was grinding away, Xiao Zhou fell into a deep sleep without realizing it. Lan Chen had no choice but to shake his head, quietly put on the quilt, and continued writing by lighting up the lamp.
This writing rarely required me to stay up all night.
However, at dawn, I finally wrote nearly fifty pages of the memorial, and also copied ten copies.
The hard work of five hundred sheets of black and white writing, so tedious and repetitive, was just for the towns along the way.
In addition to one part being given to the capital, the other nine parts can also be given to as many towns as they pass through. If it rains earlier, the people will suffer less. At this juncture, anyone who can find a prescription will do it.
If you try it, it can't be considered as killing first and showing off later.
"Master... Am I? Did I fall asleep?"
"Yeah, you slept really sweetly." Lan Chen smiled, without blaming her too much, and even joked, "I'll be the one to sleep in later, so I'll punish you by fanning me."
"Master!" Xiao Zhou looked embarrassed and shy, and apologized repeatedly.
Lan Chen waved his hand in annoyance, "Don't say damn in the future, it's annoying to hear. Okay, let's go back and rest. My back hurts when I sit and sleep, so I went back to the room and prepared the hot rice for me."
.”
"Yes, Master!"
Xiao Zhou, who had made a mistake and still felt deeply indebted, also worked quickly and just wanted to cook a bowl of hot minced rice quickly.
After bathing and changing clothes, washing and eating, and feeling a little warmer, Lan Chen was ready to go out.
"Master, after staying up late, it's better to go to bed quickly. I'll just send you there."
"No, I still have some things to tell Baizhi County. Please help me prepare my bedroom. After the rain, I feel a little chilly for no reason."
"Ah...yes, I understand."
Xiao Zhou, who seemed to realize what was about to happen, couldn't help but blush. In fact, she had made full preparations last night, or in other words, she had been prepared before.
But last night it was really just about studying ink...
So now, I think this is what I mean...
Lan Chen naturally didn't notice the meaning of Xiao Zhou's blush. After getting ready, he rode Xiao Hei straight to the magistrate's office.
What he didn't expect was that there were several carriages at the gate of the magistrate's office, seemingly going on a long trip.
"This is? A manager. Could it be that Bai Zhixian is going on a long trip?"
"Ah, Sir, you are here so quickly. Wait a moment, I will call for you!"
