Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 113 Returning to the Palace
Inside the granary.

I saw sacks stacked one on top of another, stacked several stories high, like a solid city wall. It was very spectacular and shocking.

After the spectacle and shock, it brings a huge sense of satisfaction.

This is one hundred thousand stone grain!

Food is something that can fill your stomach!
This disaster relief is up to them. These [-] stones of food will definitely save countless lives.

呲!
Dong Cheng held a "grain spy" in his hand, pierced a linen bag full of grain, took out a small handful of wheat grains, spread it out in the palm of his hand, and examined it carefully.

Zhu Xiuyuan followed suit and took out a small handful from a sack, spread it out in his hands and looked at it.

"Recorder, Mr. Junjun, Mr. Junjun, I heard that this batch of grain was brought in in the rain. But according to the official's careful observation, almost no bag has been splashed by the rain, and it is very dry. This batch of grain must be preserved. It lasts for a long time without becoming corrupted.”

The head of Yicang said.

"Ah."

Dong Cheng nodded and put the wheat grains in his palm back into the sack.

"This batch of food is not easy to come by, and it is the food for this disaster relief, so there must be no mistakes. You are the head of the charity warehouse. If there is something wrong with this batch of food, I will take care of you!"

"I don't dare, I don't dare!"

The head of the Yicang immediately bowed his body and repeatedly promised: "From today onwards, the lower officials will move the bedding and live in the Yicang, and will not leave an inch, guarding here, please rest assured, my lord!"

When the head of Yicang said this, Dong Cheng felt relieved.

He patted the head of the Yicang on the shoulder to encourage him, encouraged the state soldiers stationed in the Yicang, and promised a lot of benefits, before he took Zhu Xiuyuan and rushed towards the Dong Mansion.

At this time, it was already dark.

Due to the continuous heavy rain, the people took a rest earlier.

So that the lights on the street were scattered.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Cheng both had a lantern on their carriages for lighting, so that they could see the road clearly.

The journey was shaky, and soon their carriage stopped in front of the gate of Dong Mansion.

When they got out of the car, they saw that the gate of Dong's Mansion was brightly lit, and the gate was open. Five or six young men stood at the gate, rubbing their arms and looking around from time to time.

Apparently waiting for Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan to return home.

"The master and uncle are back. Go and inform the eldest lady."

"Okay..." "Master, uncle, it's windy and rainy outside, please come in quickly."

The cloisters in Dong's mansion are intertwined and connected, which can keep out the wind and rain, but they are not afraid of the pouring rain.

"Master, uncle, the eldest lady has asked the young people to welcome the master and uncle here, and said that after the master and uncle come back, please bathe and change clothes first, and then invite the master and uncle to the back hall to have a meal. The eldest lady has already ordered the kitchen, A table of good wine and good food has been prepared..."

The boy waiting here said.

"Yu'er is interested, virtuous son-in-law, let's meet in the back hall later," Dong Cheng said.

"Okay, father-in-law, walk slowly."

Dong Cheng wanted to go to the inner courtyard, and Zhu Xiuyuan wanted to go to the east courtyard. They were on different roads.

From the gate of Dong's Mansion to the East Garden, you have to pass through the garden of the Mansion, and the corridor in between is quite long.

When Zhu Xiuyuan turned a corner, he suddenly discovered that there was a sneaky person hiding behind the pillar in front of him.

When Zhu Xiuyuan looked over, the man also happened to stick out half of his head and look over.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. This person was none other than his little maid Qiu Wen.

"Qiu Wen, why are you here?"

"Sister-in-law, the young lady has asked the servants to come and greet my uncle." Qiu Wen ran over with small steps, Xiao Yuan's face turned red.

"Here? Meet me behind the big pillar?" Zhu Xiuyuan grinned.

His nerves had been tense all day today, and now that he was back home, it was just a good time to tease this maid to soothe him.

"The young lady originally ordered the slave to go to the gate to greet my uncle, but...but the slave was afraid halfway..." Qiu Wen lowered her head and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"So you're hiding behind this big pillar?"

"Ah."

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and touched Qiu Wen's head: "There are lanterns everywhere here, bright and majestic, what's so scary... let's go, let's go back."

"Oh..." Qiu Wen lowered her head, turned behind Zhu Xiuyuan, and followed Zhu Xiuyuan's footsteps towards the east courtyard.

"That's right!" After walking two steps, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly turned his head and asked, "Madam, she...shouldn't have left the door today, right?"
