Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 103 Departure to Liangcheng

Waiting shopkeeper looked at the shy young man at the door, and couldn't help stepping up to ask: "Does the guest want to eat?"

The young man looked at the shopkeeper and held back his words for a long time: "I'm looking for Sister Wang Min."

As soon as the words were finished, Zhao Min came in from outside the inn carrying a lot of dishes.

"I asked you to report today, why did you come so early?"

After Tao Zhiyi heard Zhao Min's voice, he turned his head and saw that it was her, a flash of joy flashed across his face.

Seeing Zhao Min carrying so many things, Tao Zhiyi quickly stepped forward to take them from her hands.

Zhao Min pointed to the door leading to the backyard: "Put these vegetables next to the water tank in the backyard!"

Tao Zhiyi nodded, and followed Zhao Min's instructions without saying a word.

At that time, the shopkeeper looked at the figure of the young man leaving, and looked at Zhao Min suspiciously.

Zhao Min grinned: "Didn't that Xiaobai ask me to resign yesterday? This is a new worker I recruited for our inn. How is it? Is it okay?"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Min winked at the shopkeeper waiting, and walked towards the backyard without waiting for him to speak.

The shopkeeper Hou looked at her leaving back, laughed, and shook his head: "This child."

After Tao Zhiyi put the vegetables next to the water tank, he didn't know what to do, and was about to get up to ask Zhao Min what to do next, when he saw Zhao Min came to the backyard.

"How is it? Is your mother's illness better?"

Tao Zhiyi nodded: "I got up early this morning and made medicine for my mother before I came here."

Zhao Min pointed to the wooden basin next to him, took down the rag that was drying on the tree, and threw it into the basin.

"Pour some water, wet the rag, and wipe the tables and stools in the lobby. Remember, wipe carefully. Of course, you have to move quickly."

After Tao Zhiyi got the order, he went to do the things Zhao Min ordered.

After Zhao Min finished processing all the ingredients, he found that Tao Zhiyi had wiped all the tables and stools clean, and then cleaned the doors and windows. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and praised him even more.

Seeing that the clothes he was wearing had been patched several times, and some places were even tattered, Zhao Min was taken aback for a moment, and then went out the door.

When Zhao Min came back, there were already one or two tables of guests waiting in the inn.

Zhao Min quickly put the burden in his hand behind the counter, and went to work in the kitchen.

After all the guests had left, Zhao Min came out of the kitchen, saw Tao Zhiyi was packing the dishes, and stepped forward to help him.

Tao Zhiyi quickly waved his hands: "No need, I can do it myself, sister Wang Min, you can go over there and rest."

Zhao Min knew that the child had strong self-esteem, and he didn't want others to think that he was giving him a handout, so he obeyed his words and stopped.

After going outside the door, Zhao Min saw that half of his medicine had been sold, so he collected the money in the box.

Afterwards, I went to the second floor, took some new medicines and placed them at the door, and returned to the inn. Tao Zhiyi had already cleaned up all the dishes.

Zhao Min remembered what he went out to do this morning, so he took out the bag from the counter and handed it to Tao Zhiyi.

"It's almost time, go back and make medicine for your mother."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Min put the burden in Tao Zhiyi's hand, then went to the kitchen by himself, and when Zhao Min came out again, he was holding a food box in his hand.

Tao Zhiyi took the bundle from Zhao Min's hand, opened it and saw that it was a brand new dress.

Seeing Zhao Min come out, Tao Zhi glanced at the new clothes reluctantly before handing them back to Zhao Min: "I can't accept it."

Zhao Min stretched out his hand and patted his head lovingly: "Take it, you see, you work as a waiter in our inn, and it's not a problem to wear patched clothes all day long, right? Besides, the cloth is not so good , didn’t cost much.”

Seeing that Tao Zhiyi was still unwilling to accept it, Zhao Min quickly changed his words: "Well, it will be deducted from your salary at the end of the month."

Tao Zhiyi was relieved after hearing this, "Okay, thank you, sister Wang Min."

A smile appeared on Zhao Min's face, and he handed him the food box in his hand: "Hurry up and go back to have dinner with your mother, don't forget to make medicine for your mother, I will be back in an hour, I still have busy work at night."

Tao Zhiyi looked at the food box in Zhao Min's hand, and his eyes turned red. How long has it been since he received this kind of treatment?

Zhao Min noticed his strangeness, pulled his hand out, and handed the food box to his hand: "A man is a real man, he doesn't flick his tears easily, so he can't cry all day long."

Tao Zhiyi looked at Zhao Min and nodded fiercely, then raised his chin according to Zhao Min: "Go, go and come back quickly."

"Hurry up, the people behind will follow, don't whine about it."

Gu Po carefully counted the things to be brought in the carriage. After all, the imperial city is a long way from Liangcheng. Even if you hurry up, it may take a month to arrive.

After Gu Po had counted all the things, she returned to the mansion: "My lord, everything has been counted, we can go."

Gu Lingqing was sitting on a chair drinking tea. After hearing Gu Po's words, she gently put down the teacup in her hand, got up and walked out the door. Before getting into the carriage, she looked back at Prince Xian's mansion before getting into the carriage.

This groom was someone Gu Lingqing could trust. After the two got into the carriage, Gu Po not only showed worry.

"Master, it's a long way, and I don't know what unexpected things will happen on the way?"

Gu Lingqing frowned tightly. Although she had made all the preparations, it was hard to say what would happen along the way.

This time, Gu Qi asked the emperor to let him go to Liangcheng to accompany him, so the emperor would naturally not do anything to him on the way.

However, the people on the prince's side probably won't hold back.

Prince's Mansion.

"His Royal Highness, Gu Lingqing has already left the imperial city."

The prince was sitting on the main seat, drinking tea calmly, listening to Shenyang Bei's report to him, his eyes were full of viciousness.

"My seventh brother, I know how to toss."

Shen Yangbei looked at the prince, and asked, "Should we just let him go like this? Should we be on the way..." Shenyang Bei made a murderous move to silence his mouth.

There was a smile on the corner of the prince's mouth: "My seventh brother gave me such a good opportunity, if I don't fulfill it, wouldn't it be a disappointment to his kindness?"

After finishing speaking, the crown prince and Shenyang Beixiang took a look and burst out laughing.

Shen Yangbei bowed: "Yes, His Royal Highness, I will arrange it right away." After speaking, he was about to leave.

The prince stretched out his right hand: "Wait a minute!"

Shenyang Bei stopped in his tracks and turned around: "What orders does His Royal Highness have?"

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought about it in his heart: "Don't do it too early, I will let them enjoy this kind of life of fear, and wait until they are close to Liangcheng."

Shenyang Bei, who lowered his head, froze for a moment: "Yes."
