The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 247 Parting ways, Yan Yu borrows a car (1)
Dried rosemary flowers floated on the warm water.After soaking in hot water, the finely divided purple flowers exude a faint fragrance. This kind of fragrance can most relieve fatigue and calm the mind.

Yao Yanyu breathed a sigh of relief, closed her eyes and leaned against the bathtub, Wei Zhang and Tang Xiaoyi were all drenched in front of her eyes.Thinking of Tang Xiaoyi's bold words again, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, they really don't know how much they have suffered!

After a night of wind and rain, Yao Yanyu didn't want to sleep at first, but if she didn't sleep, Nanny Feng and other attendants couldn't sleep, so she lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

Fortunately, the rain stopped at dawn.Yao Yanyu got up quietly, opened the window and looked out, but saw the blue waves of the Yuntian River, wider than before.From a distance, some willow trees that were planted on the side of the embankment have been soaked in the water.

The wind in the morning after the rain was particularly cool, and Cuiwei and the others were sleeping soundly at this time because of the busy and hot days.

Yao Yanyu didn't disturb the two maids on the bunk, put on her clothes and went downstairs lightly, and walked quietly to the deck.

It was just dawn, and there was a layer of white water vapor floating on the surface of the water. The green hills and willows in the distance were wrapped in mist, complementing the shimmering blue waves, like a fairyland.

Wei Zhang got up early, and was standing on the bow of the boat listening to the dispatched person report on the situation on the shore. His black and silver eagle pattern gown was rustling by the wind, outlining his tall and straight figure.

He was originally concentrating on listening to his subordinates' report, when he turned his head inadvertently, and saw Miss Yao in a blue dress at the bow of the boat from a distance, her sharp eyes softened a bit.

Yao Yanyu leaned on the side of the boat and watched him from a distance, and did not avoid his sight when he saw him looking over.After Wei Zhang listened to his subordinates' report, he jumped over several cargo ships and jumped to Yao Yanyu's side.

"Get up so early? Why don't you sleep more?"

"Can't sleep." Yao Yanyu sighed softly, "How is the situation?"

"It's very bad. Some dilapidated houses were washed away by a heavy rain last night. The rain in the north was indeed heavier than here. Many people are homeless. Rice is planted in the south of the Yangtze River, and the cultivated land has been destroyed. Not much, and it’s hard to say north of the Jinhe River. In a few days, the disaster will be reported to the emperor.”

Yao Yanyu frowned and sighed: "The weather is so hot, there must be a plague after the disaster."

"It's inevitable."

"Should we go overland?"

"Let's go a little further. The person I sent out to check the flood situation in Jinhe hasn't come back yet, so they will know by noon."

"How much time will this delay?"

"Loading and unloading, at least one day."

time of day.Yao Yanyu silently thought that it would take one day to load and unload the cargo, and the land route was at least four to five days slower than the water route.With such a delay, it was already the beginning of June when we arrived in Yundu City.

Thinking about this, Yao Yanyu couldn't help praying from his heart, hoping that there would be no heavy rain on Jinhe.

However, it is counterproductive.

Before noon, the people sent by Wei Zhang had returned, and the news they brought back was: the Jin River broke its embankment, and the two prefectures and counties at the confluence of the Yuntian River were severely affected.

Yao Yanyi slapped the desk and cursed in a low voice.

Naturally, Wei Zhang's mood was not much better, and he asked some specific situations in a deep voice, and then asked the people to back down.

"What should I do?" Yao Yanyi looked up at Wei Zhang.

"There is no other way but to turn overland at the next pier." Wei Zhang said.

Yao Yanyi has nothing to say, this is the only way.Now he just hoped to catch enough carriages at the next pier.

"In front is the Yizhou Wharf. Yan Bingguang, the county magistrate of Yizhou, has a good official reputation." Yao Yanyi said after pondering.

"Yeah." Wei Zhang nodded and didn't say much.He has the emperor's secret decree, so he is naturally not afraid that the local government will not cooperate.However, now is an extraordinary period, and it is impossible for the government to put these medicinal materials first and ignore the common people.What General Wei was most worried about was how to pass through the two states and counties of the Jinhe Burst.

It was the next morning when the fleet arrived at Yizhou Wharf.

As soon as they landed, Yao Yanyi took a dozen servants to the pier to hire a car, not to mention the family's luggage, the four ships of medicinal materials alone required twenty horse-drawn carriages to take them away.And the luggage of that big ship needs more than a dozen cars.

Also, the women's family members are more particular about their cars, because they may not be able to stay in an inn at night if they travel by land, and they may camp in the mountains and forests. The women's family members cannot sleep in the open air, and the carriages they use must be spacious enough to sleep just work.

As soon as the family got on the pier, they went to find a carriage, while Yao Yanyi found a tea shop at random to sit down and wait.

At noon, the scattered family members finally found more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages regardless of the bids. The horse-drawn carriages were parked side by side on the pier, and Yao Yanyi began to make arrangements to unload the medicinal materials and load them into the carriages.In addition, there were only two carriages that could take the women's family members, and the price was sky-high.

In the big boat, Ning's face was full of sorrow, and he sighed repeatedly.Yao Yanyu also frowned.

"There are not enough carriages, what should we do?" Ning sighed uneasy.

"Sister-in-law, when the medicinal materials are ready, if you still can't take care of the big carriage, you can take Sister Han and elder brother to escort the medicinal materials and leave first. You only take the people who are close to you, two large carriages are enough. "

Ning immediately shook her head: "How can I do that? What should you do?"

Yao Yanyu said: "The most urgent thing now is to transport the medicinal materials away first, and there is no delay in this. I can wait for a day or two, and immediately chase you after I get the carriage."

Ning immediately shook her head and refused: "I disagree, we want to go together. How can I leave you alone?"

Yao Yanyu chuckled lightly: "I'm not alone, there are more than 20 female relatives here with me, how can I be alone?"

Ning frowned and said, "Why don't you let your second elder brother go first with someone to protect the medicinal materials, and we stay and wait for the waterway to pass before we go by boat."

Yao Yanyu shook her head worriedly: "Sister Han is too young, and if you go forward, you will pass through the disaster area. If you leave late, I am afraid that the plague will spread. You should take the child and leave as soon as possible."

"Then we might as well go back!" When Ning heard that there would be a plague, she immediately became anxious. "It's only a three-day journey back to Jiangning City from here. Let's go back first and go to the capital after the flood is over."

Yao Yanyu was silent.

Ning could go back with her daughter, but she couldn't.She has to go to Yundu City, where there are still many things waiting for her, the medicine requested by the emperor, the business with Yao Yanyi, her future...and Wei Zhang's future.

Seeing the bags of medicinal materials unloaded from the boat and loaded into the carriage, Yao Yanyi's irritability was not less.

"There are not enough carriages, is there anything else you can do?" At this time, Yao Yanyi and Wei Zhang stopped making rounds.
