The domestic guard is a little sweet

As soon as the emperor's decree came down, the servants in Zhao Jin's mansion began to get busy. Since there is no headed mistress in the palace, Manager Liu is in charge of everything.

The accompanying guards, eunuchs, court ladies, and then the cook in the back kitchen and the chef in charge of the spoon all have to choose suitable candidates, even the teacups, teapots, quilts, pillows, and even foot baths used by Zhao Jin on weekdays. Bring the barrels with you.

After all, this time is different from the past when we only went to a farm outside Beijing, but to a place as far away as Guangdong and Guangxi, so it is undoubtedly more important to tidy up things.

The weather in Guangdong and Guangxi is often warmer here, and Director Liu hastily patted the lady in the sewing room to bring some breathable and cool clothes to the prince. Thinking about it this way, there are so many things that I don’t know. Finished.

This made Mr. Liu busy inside and out, and the whole person didn't touch the ground.

Zhao Jin only regarded this time as a business trip, he didn't expect to bring so many things, his jaw almost dropped in surprise.

"You don't need to bring so many things. You can bring primers and replacement clothes with you. If you need anything, you can buy it locally."

In the study room, Sun He’s younger brother Zhao Jin sorted out the books he was used to reading, as well as the brushes and inkstones he used to. How can it be compared?"

Zhao Jin knew that there was a gap between himself and the ancient people's thinking, so he opened his mouth without saying much, crossed his legs, looked at the book in his hand and let them go as busy as they wanted, in short, he didn't need to carry it on his back.

During this trip, Zhao Jin specially ordered craftsmen to rush to make a batch of crossbow arrows, and asked the government doctor to specially prepare some antidote pills, as well as Mongolian sweat medicine necessary for travel.

Although it may not be useful, it is good to be prepared.

Although the emperor here ordered to expedite it, it took more than half a month for the household department to sort out the documents, allocate money and food, and then load the sweet potatoes into the car, and assign the personnel of the accompanying team.

Before leaving, Empress Dowager Dong specially invited Zhao Jin into the palace to speak.

"The journey between Guangdong and Guangxi is far away. The emperor said, there is no need to rush this trip, and you don't need to rush to Luzi. Everything must be done with your own safety first."

Zhao Jin sat obediently in front of Empress Dowager Dong, put his hands on his knees, and nodded: "Thank you mother for your concern, my son will remember it."

Empress Dowager Dong looked at her youngest son lovingly, and said with a smile all over her face: "You don't want to marry the girls in your house, you can forget about it, but men are not more careful than women. You must always have a maid by your side to take care of daily life , that's considerate."

Zhao Jin frowned, he managed to arrange the girls around him, and now the Queen Mother wanted to push them in again, how could he not have a headache.

"My son knows that my mother loves me, but it is a long way to go to Guangdong and Guangxi. The woman is delicate and frail, so she has not experienced long-distance bumps. Besides, during this time, I have become accustomed to being served by people around me."

Empress Dowager Dong shook her head disapprovingly.

"You are traveling to Guangdong and Guangxi for inspection this time. The dense fog will naturally pass through many local officials in the prefectures and counties. Since then, they will come to visit every capable woman around you, and then they will deal with the affairs of the female relatives. Don't worry, the queen mother will help you. The girl you chose is the smartest, and she was born in Guangdong and Guangxi, and is familiar with the local customs. By your side, she can take care of your daily life and food, and secondly, she can also protect you from those women who don't know their importance. That's it. It's decided, if you still don't get used to Yuhuan serving by your side, you can just send it back when you return to Beijing."

After the Empress Dowager Dong finished speaking, she waved her hand, and saw a court lady in Tsing Yi standing obediently beside her, with an oval face and a delicate face.

Yu Huan moved lightly to Zhao Jin's side with lotus steps, blessed Fu Li, and said crisply: "See the prince, the prince is blessed and safe."

Speaking of this, I couldn't refuse last year, otherwise it would hurt the relationship between mother and child.

He suppressed the irritability in his heart, put on a smile on his unhappy face, and thanked the Queen Mother Dong: "It's still the mother who loves her son's eldest son, so I won't disturb the mother's lunch break."

After leaving the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the smile on Zhao Jin's face instantly subsided, and with a blank expression on his face, he went to spit beside him, and followed him obediently.

After leaving the palace gate, Zhao Jin got into his own carriage and drove away. The eunuch Yu Huan followed was on another carriage, and she didn't complain at all.

When they arrived at the palace, An Twelve was the first to greet him, stepped forward to lift the curtain of the carriage door, and helped Zhao Jin get off the horse, only then did he notice a woman in Tsing Yi coming down from the carriage rushing behind him.

Although the woman's appearance is not stunning, but judging by her steps and breath, she has some skills.

Dark Twelve, took a second look in surprise.

Zhao Jin stood firm and saw Director Liu standing beside him, and ordered lightly: "This is Yu Huan, a first-class court lady bestowed by the queen mother. This time I will go south with us and arrange a place for him in the West Courtyard." let's live."

The West Courtyard is the place where the servants and maidservants live in the royal residence. When Zhao Jin said this, Manager Liu understood, and quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Master, don't worry, this old slave knows."

The girl Yuhuan thanked Zhao Jinxing for her salute, then got up and smiled slightly at Director Liu.

Walking all the way in the thick Jinxiu Huafu, Zhao Jin was already a little impatient with the heat. He tugged at his collar, reached out and grabbed An Twelve's wrist, and strode towards the main courtyard in stride, yelling at each other as he walked. Sun He, who was behind him, ordered: "Bring water for me, and I will take a bath."

Sun He: "Yes."

After the two left, Yu Huan, who had been standing behind Liu Zhongguan with her head down, glanced up at Zhao Jin and An Shier, who shook hands.

After another three days of packing, and finally reduced and reduced, Zhao Jin still took nine carriages with him when he traveled, and walked in the middle of the team going south.

There were nearly a thousand guards, servants, maidservants, clerks and others accompanying him.

Zhao Jin left the capital in a mighty way. This time he was on a business trip. His status was high and it was not an urgent matter. Naturally, he stopped and walked along the road, which counted as sightseeing.

Zhao Jin left the capital city for the first time since crossing, and he was naturally very interested in the outside world. When the carriage first left the capital city, he still cheered a little, lying on the side of the carriage window, sticking his head out look.

However, in this life, the original owner's body was not up to par, and he was motion sick. In this swaying carriage, Zhao Jin only felt dizzy.

As a prince, Zhao Jin's entourage was only slightly inferior to that of the emperor, but the shape of the carriage was relatively high. The carriage was covered with thick four-layer brocade quilts, thick cushions, coffee table, fruits, pastries, everything you expect.

But even so, the anti-shock function of the ancient carriage was really not high, and Zhao Jin's whole body was about to fall apart after being bumped in the carriage.

Within a hundred miles of leaving the capital, the man was groggy, lying in the carriage, his face a bit ugly.

An Twelve had been outside all the time, at least he had to know that Zhao Jin was suffering, so he got into the carriage, seeing his master suffering like this, he was worried too much.

Dark Twelve is in a hurry.A cup of orange-red liquid was poured out of a jug on the side, and brought to Zhao Jin's hand, he said with some concern: "Master, drink a little, if it's too uncomfortable, let the front stop for a while."

The doctor of the government came to see her and said that the master was motion sick, and the medicine prescribed for a few days was of no use. In the end, Yu Huan was clever and boiled some sour plum soup, and put some sweet-scented osmanthus. Some.

Zhao Jin drank a cup of sour plum, Tang waved his hand.

"I have rested many times after walking a hundred miles on this journey. I drank sour plum soup and I feel better. I think I will get used to vomiting in the future."

Zhao Jin's face was slightly pale at the moment, his expression was dying, An Twelve looked very distressed, Journey to the West, he didn't come to Zhao Jin's side, he held his shoulders, let the master lie down on his knees, stretched out Gently press the temples with your fingers.

"In half an hour, we will arrive at the Zaoxian post station, and then the master can have a good rest."

Hearing that he was about to arrive at the post station, Zhao Jin reluctantly started to search for the travel notes he had read before leaving, and then remembered a place like Zao County, looked at An Twelve and blinked and said: "Master Zao County has an impression, The two chastity archways issued by this dynasty are probably with them."

An Shier took the cup from Zhao Jin's hand and put it aside, then gently pressed his temples.

"Yes. It is said that 20 years ago, a husband-in-law of a woman's family went to Beijing to take the exam, but was murdered because of the jealousy of her classmates, and the classmate was a high school scholar, and the woman was entrusted by the husband-in-law. The high-ranking was the county magistrate at the time, but the county magistrate Not daring to offend the murderer who already had an official position, the matter was hastily closed, and the murderer even asked someone to force the woman to marry someone else, but the woman refused, and when she bumped into the imperial envoy, she not only sued The murderer also executed the county magistrate who took bribes. It is said that when the two were executed, red rain fell from the sky, and the woman never married anyone else all her life, and had been concentrating on raising a pair of children with her father-in-law. After learning about this incident, I was grateful for her loyalty, so I gave the memorial archway."

Zhao Jin listened with great interest to the folk tales told by Dark Twelve, all of which had some supernatural and ghostly overtones.

This Zao County is not only famous for the women’s chastity memorial archway, but also for the red silk it raises. Ordinary silkworms spin white silk, but the silkworms in Zao County are red.

In ancient times, due to the poor dyeing techniques, red and black were rare, so this kind of natural red silk was naturally sought after and considered to be the embodiment of auspiciousness. Every year, Zaoxian County will also send a batch of red silk to the palace.

The silk cloth from which these threads are imitated does look very different from the dyed red cloth.

The carriage stopped and stopped, and finally arrived at the post station. Zhao Jin quickly jumped out of the carriage and gave birth. His body was already dark and unbearable. Master Dong also hurriedly saluted beside him.

"My lord, we will rest at the post station in Zao County for the past two days, what do you think?"
