Poor family mother and son

Generally speaking, when foreign missions complete their missions and return to China, the Daxuan court is responsible for their expenses, including the mission's board and lodging, carriages, guards and gifts.

Moreover, the relationship between countries is often maintained with the help of expensive gifts, so even if the Voss Mission does not make a lot of money, it will increase a lot of carriages and supplies.

But not this time.

They appeared inexplicably, which made the Daxuan officials not recognize them; moreover, if they wanted someone, the emperor would naturally not give him a good face, so the mission didn't get anything, and they had to prepare their own food.

A team of more than 1000 people ate and fed horses. Naturally, the people of Voss did not have so much food, so they had to buy along the way.

Therefore, every time he went to post stations, temples and other places, Chu Qing would tell everyone to stop and wait for them to buy things.

The problem is, even if they pay high prices, they can't buy much dairy and meat, and the people of Voss are not used to vegetarian food.

The fourth prince's nose is almost crooked, because no matter where he goes, as long as Chu Qing sends one or two guards, he can quickly contact the cheapest source of food for himself, and it is very plentiful. If you want fish, you can have fish and meat. Meat.

If they knew that every time someone from Chuqing went out to buy, they would let out the news that the people from Voss were coming and selling them at a high price to make money, they would probably vomit blood.

The fourth prince really wanted Chu Qing to help buy food and grass for their group, but he couldn't hold back his face.

Chu Qing acted as if she couldn't see or think of it, and let them worry about it.

However, every meal time, it is clear that they either barbecue or shabu-shabu, the whole cooking smoke curls up and overflows with fragrance, so that the people of Voss can see and smell it but cannot eat it.

Especially that Xu Nianping, even if it's not meal time, he still holds the snack jar, and his mouth is not idle all day long.

The people of Voss are very miserable. They often "explore the sea" with dead dough, which is considered a meal. As for drinking, hehe, think about it.

Even the name of the dish "White Snake Exploring the Sea" was given by Chu Qing - scallion dipping sauce.

This trip is probably the most thorough time for Voss people to get rid of the mutton smell on their bodies, because now their mouths are full of green onions,

Finally, King Guli couldn't sit still anymore, and dragged the fourth prince to find Chu Qing: "Master Chu, you are well-known and popular, can you help us buy some food and grass? You won't suffer!"

Xu Nianping was right next to Chu Qing, and he chewed the mustard pig ears in the small jar, thinking, although King Gu Li was not used to the smell of mustard, but the pig ears were also meat, and he was greedy just looking at them.

Chu Qing took a look at Xu Nianping who was holding the pot and pouring soup into his mouth, and replied infinitely and sincerely: "I am not an enemy!"

King Guli: "..."

The fourth prince turned around and left, he found that he hated the "sincere" Chu Qing more than the violent Chu Qing.

It is clear that it took six or seven days to travel quickly, and it took 22 days to arrive at the boundary marker of New Lunzhou after being delayed by the people of Voss to buy food everywhere.

Just like that, Chu Qing still complained to Xu Nianping: "People who are outsiders don't understand the preciousness of time! What a f*cking delay!"

As if wasting time had nothing to do with her.

"Master Song!" Chu Qing was very surprised to see Song Tingshan at the boundary marker, "Why did Master Song come here in person? He even came here?"

Song Tingshan cupped his hands and joked: "Come and welcome the 'Iron Lady'!"

It seems that the rumors from Kyoto have reached here.

"Ah..." Chu Qing was a little embarrassed, but Song Tingshan was surprised: "Are you still shy? Wonderful scene!"

Then he turned his body backwards, as if to let Chu Qing see the officials following him, and Chu Qing saw Wei Chengyi.

Wei Chengyi was wearing long-sleeved clothes, followed behind Song Tingshan, looked up and down carefully with a pair of eyes, and confirmed that Chu Qing had lost some weight, and there was nothing wrong, so he was relieved.

Chu Qing nodded to him imperceptibly, and quickly greeted other officials, while Song Tingshan had already greeted the fourth prince and the others.

Under Song Tingshan's warm invitation and meticulous and thoughtful arrangements, the people from Voss, who had been half-fed and hungry for more than 20 days, followed Yi Cheng to their residence with green eyes.

Song Tingshan told them that in addition to going through the formalities, Song Tingshan, as the prefect of Xinlunzhou, would personally entertain these "distinguished guests" and invite them to have a good time in Xinlunzhou.

Chu Qing listened, looked at Wei Chengyi, and asked with his eyes: "What does Master Song want to do?"

It's a bit abnormal to entertain them personally and invite them to play!Didn't Song Tingshan know that this would make him impeached by the officials?

Wei Chengyi glanced at Chu Qing's side. Just now, he saw that Xu Nianping was different from the Chu family, and judged that this person should be the military supervisor. Therefore, he only shook his head slightly when asked by Chu Qing's eyes, and did not answer.

Chu Qing said nothing.

Wei Chengyi appeared in the guise of Governor Sui, probably because Bai Hua had something to say, or Wei Chengyi had something to do.

Song Tingshan's enthusiasm made the fourth prince and his party feel little respect. Instead, they now hope to speed up their schedule and return to Voss quickly.

"You have to eat and drink enough, wash and tidy up," Song Tingshan smiled and comforted: "Princes and lords don't want to see King Voss with a tired and tired face, right?"

This is the truth, just look at the group of Voss people, who haven’t eaten a few shredded pork in more than 20 days, guarding Daxuan, a place rich in products, can’t get enough to eat.

On the way, he also hunted, but how many wild animals can he hunt?There was not enough time for them to go into the mountains.

In early spring, the biggest thing that can be hunted is the thin wild boar with its head coming out for food.

With Chu Qing's attitude towards the guards first, the fourth prince and the others were ashamed to share the meat to the soldiers, so they got a taste of it.

"Let's reorganize the team at ease for the time being. With so many people, it will take a few days to go through the border crossing procedures!" Song Tingshan said: "I am declaring that entry is lenient and exit is strict. Every soldier, including the accompanying cook, needs to register."

As expected of an old fritter, just a sentence of "lenient entry and strict exit" turned the Voss mission's effort to secretly sneak into Daxuan into one of the rules of Daxuan's entry and exit, and saved some face for the court.

At the same time, it also pointed out: It is easy for you to come in, but if you want to go out, you have to undergo strict investigation, and it is hard to say what problems are found.

Song Tingshan glanced at Chu Qing naturally, and said again: "Lord Chu, when you arrive at my official's place, your escort mission will be considered complete, and you can leave on your own."

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Wei Chengyi: "Xiao Weizi, send Master Chu off for me." He nodded to Xu Nianping again.

Chu Qing was just about to give Song Tingshan a thumbs up——"Leave in and out strictly", really belong to you!I'm relieved to leave these savages to you!

Wei Chengyi played the role of long-term follower very well, bowed and bowed to receive orders, and then turned around to ask Chu Qing and Xu Nianping to get into the car.

Chu Qing dug out a can of beef slices mixed with mustard and stuffed it to Xu Nianping: "Little Xu, this place is still far from my Qingwatai, you need to make up for it first, and then we'll go into the city and have a good meal!"

Xu Nianping happily carried the jar back to the carriage, while Chu Qing and Wei Chengyi had a chance to talk.
