Chapter 372 The minister wants to resign!
Yuan Jiaqi returned home from work, and was very happy after hearing about this incident.
But when he heard that his daughter-in-law was going back to Tianshui Town to go to the Changguan, he was immediately upset, and he immediately went to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I want to resign!"
"What, you are so young, why did you resign?"
"I want to accompany my wife back to Tianshui Town for retreat"
"What about the officials?"
"Leave it to Chuan'er. I will give my son all the official positions of the minister. A minister cannot do without his wife. Wherever she goes, the minister will go."
"What a wife slave, she retreats, what are you doing when you go back?"
"Your Majesty, you can say whatever you want. Anyway, the minister wants to accompany the lady. She is in retreat and the minister is guarding her outside, so the minister can rest assured."
"You are not yet forty, what a pity!"
"It's enough for the minister's son to serve the court. Besides, the minister has been away from his hometown for many years, and he misses it. Let the children stay here. Without us old guys, the children will be more relaxed."
"Okay, okay, then in the next three days, you should hand over to Chuan'er as soon as possible."
Qiao Mai said to let them go into battle lightly, but when they left, the emperor and empress actually made a lot of salutes, and together with Qiao Mai and the Yuan family, they packed a whole car.
Originally thought that three carriages would be enough, but ended up using five carriages. Qiao Mai improvised and took the four little girls along.
In this way, she can take time to guide them on the way. She plans to go back to Tianshui Town and put them there.
She also made arrangements at home, Chuan'er formally took over the position from the Yuan family, he, the crown prince, Jiamei and Ling'er had to see them off early in the morning.
Five carriages, two for servants, two for masters, one for luggage, twenty plainclothes guards, Qiao Mai really has a headache seeing this large group of people.
How much she wants to be with her husband, just two people, one person and one horse, how nice it is to walk the rivers and lakes like this, it's a lot of people.
Forget it, the emperor proposed it, let him do it.
When getting in the carriage, the emperor dragged the empress and forced him to squeeze into the same carriage with Qiao Mai and his wife, saying that it would be interesting to have such people and the road would not be boring.
This walk probably took about a year. Linger leaned in the prince's arms, Chuaner put his arm around Jiamei's shoulders, and the four of them stood at the gate of Jixiangyuan.
Linger pointed, she pointed with her finger, "Ah, isn't that mother's pet, why is it on the roof of the car?"
"Yo, that's right, I heard that it was the one who broke the heart-wrenching case,"
"What's it called?"
"Kuroko!"
"Wow, mother's pet must be very cute, right?"
"Of course."
The convoy left the south gate of the capital and went southward along the official road. This matter was not hidden, and the courtiers and common people knew about it.
Some even followed the convoy to the city gate to see them off.
If in the past, the old emperor always concealed his whereabouts when he traveled, but now he is arrogant and travels with his mother-in-law. He wishes that the whole world would know about it.
Who dares to rob him? Unless he wanted to die, let alone a few thieves and assassins, the old emperor would not even blink his mother's thousands of troops.
Driving on the official road, the queen and the emperor were very excited.
"Mother-in-law, it's my blessing that you can travel with me, and it's all dependent on you along the way?"
"Hmph, I will contribute, and you can contribute the money."
"Must, haha"
Yu Bao riding a horse outside the car sounds awkward, but he is the emperor's finance minister, and all the money goes in and out of his hands.
For this trip, he brought no less than one hundred thousand taels of silver with him, thinking that ten thousand taels would be enough to spend.
So he couldn't help touching the bank note on his chest, one hundred thousand taels? It is enough to say enough, and it is not enough to say that it is not enough. If you encounter something good, let alone a hundred thousand taels, a million taels may not be enough.
Anyway, Princess Blessing is a rich woman, and when the time comes when she runs out of money, spend it on her.
The four people in the carriage are very spacious, and there is a movable table inside, and they sit facing each other in twos.
Queen Bada looked at Qiao Mai for a moment, "This car is very stable, is there something missing on this table?"
Qiao Mai couldn't help laughing, "What do you want to eat?"
"A beer for both of them? An ice cream for each of us?"
As soon as he said that the emperor had regained his spirits, Qiao Mai stretched out his hand and pulled out a barrel of beer from under the chair, waiting impatiently.
Take out four glass cups, pour four glasses of beer, then throw in four popsicles, and four boxes of ice cream and a large bowl of cut ham sausages come out.
"Come on, eat and drink, I have whatever you want"
The emperor couldn't wait to pick up the cup and took a sip. Yu Bao outside swallowed when he heard the sound, he wanted to drink too, woo woo woo!
Yuan Jiaqi had a drink with the emperor, "Drink less and drink more, or you won't find a toilet on the road"
One sentence almost made the emperor spit out, and he glared at him, "Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, we men are standing there, not like women, so we can't solve it"
"Ha ha"
The guards outside almost laughed out loud, Qiao Mai touched the queen.
"Women can drink this wine, it's very hot today, let's drink some, it's good to feel dizzy"
"I always listen to my mother-in-law."
Qiao Mai took a sip and looked out the window, and said loudly, "When I find a place to rest at night, I will get you a few barrels to try."
"Thank you princess"
Although they didn't let them drink, Qiao Mai handed out a basket of fruit by the window and asked them to share.
What Princess Fu gave was good. Everyone in the guards got a share, and the rest was given to the servants in the car behind.
As soon as he left the capital, the emperor began to tremble, talking loudly in the car.
Before they had traveled more than a hundred miles, it started to rain lightly. They had no choice but to find a hotel in a nearby town and settle down.
It happened to be noon, and Qiao Mai asked the guards and servants to eat. The four of them were full and not hungry at all.
The queen was so dizzy from drinking that she fell asleep as soon as she got off the bed, so the emperor had to rest next to him.
Qiao Mai asked Heizi to guard them. She and her husband came out from the guest room and went for a walk outdoors.
Yuan Jiaqi put his arms around her shoulders, and the two of them were walking around the small town with an umbrella, and there were very few pedestrians on the road.
"My lady, this town is close to the capital, so there is nothing special about it,"
"Who says no, look over there!"
Yuan Jiaqi looked up, then frowned.
"Let the children go out to play on the beach in rainy days, can this thing be sold?"
"Who says you can't, let's go, let's go and buy it?"
The two of them came to the beach, and the one who set the beach was a little girl, about seven or eight years old. There was a basket in front of her, which contained purple-black shiny fruits.
Like grapes, but not in clusters, but one by one.
Seeing customers visiting Xiaobai, the little girl gave them a sweet smile.
"Do you want to buy fruit?"
Qiao Mai pointed at the fruit, "What is this?"
The little girl shook her head, "I don't know, I picked it from a tree in the mountain, it's not poisonous, I tasted it myself, it's very sweet, with a little sour,"
As she spoke, the little girl picked up one and handed it over, wanting them to taste it, Qiao Mai watched as her little hand didn't take it.
The little girl was a little embarrassed, "My hands have been washed, but they can't be washed because of work, that's how it is, don't dislike it."
Qiao Mai nodded, took it, put it in his mouth, and nodded.
"How did you sell it?"
"Five cents a catty?"
"How much do you usually sell?"
"This is the first time I've sold it. It didn't rain when I picked it in the early Qing Dynasty. I was afraid that it would not be fresh after a long time, so I sold it in the rain."
"Well, this fruit, how many catties does this basket weigh?"
"Almost twenty catties"
"Can you even sell me the basket?"
"You want it?" The little girl looked at the two happily, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.
"Yes, we are passing merchants, and there are many people,"
"Then I don't want the money in the basket, it's a hundred coins in total"
Qiao Mai smiled and handed over a penny, and the little girl took it and stuffed it into her arms.
"Who else is in your family? Why did you come out to set up a beach by yourself?"
"There is an old grandmother at home, she is too old and inconvenient,"
"No one else?"
"Gone"
