Chapter 361 Pull the cart over
Qin Huaidao was dressed in tight clothes, with his hair neatly tied up and a long sword at his waist. He jumped on his horse, whipped it, and the horse neighed and galloped out.
Wei Shuyu was wearing an elegant robe and sitting steadily in the carriage, with gifts for his friends beside him.
Fang Yiai jumped onto his own tall horse in a hurry, shouting, "Gee! Don't be late!"
Li Deyu gently waved his folding fan and stepped onto the carriage slowly, his heart full of anticipation.
The prince, surrounded by a group of guards, rode in a gorgeous carriage and slowly left the city.
Cheng Chumo was pulling the cart, panting, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
As he turned a corner, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer.
When I looked up, it was Qin Huaidao and Fang Yiai.
"Cheng Chumo!" Qin Huaidao shouted from a distance, "What are you doing pulling a cart?"
Cheng Chumo stopped, wiped his sweat, and said with a smile: "Yuyu asked me to bring a cart to load something, but I don't know what it is. What are you doing?"
Fang Yiai laughed: "Just like you, I'm rushing to Yuyu's house."
At this time, Wei Shuyu's carriage also caught up. He lifted the curtain and greeted with a smile: "What a coincidence, we just happened to meet. Let's go together."
After a while, Li Deyu's carriage also arrived. After exchanging some greetings, they set off together.
After walking for a while, the prince's convoy appeared in front.
The prince heard the noise, lifted the curtain, saw everyone, and nodded slightly: "You are early, come together."
The group walked along the main street of Chang'an, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Cheng Chumo took the lead, his cart bumping along the stone road, making a creaking sound.
Following behind were Qin Huaidao, Wei Shuyu, Fang Yiai, and Li Deyu. Even next to the prince's carriage, there were guards pulling carts. This strange team instantly ignited the curiosity of passers-by.
A vegetable vendor stopped what he was doing, scratched his head, and said to the guy next to him, "Look, who are these people? They're pulling carts and hurrying along. Isn't that the kid from the Cheng family in the front?"
The clerk craned his neck to peer around, a puzzled look on his face. "Could it be that someone hired them to move stuff? But it doesn't look like it."
In the teahouse on the street, several old tea drinkers were also discussing.
An old man put down his teacup, shook his head and said, "There must be something fishy going on. These are all children of prominent families, and they are following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How can they pull a cart?"
Another old man stroked his beard and speculated, "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has initiated some novel activity, requiring everyone to move things together?"
Another young man jokingly said, "Who cares? Maybe it's...!"
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
They were unaware of being watched by everyone, and were only thinking about getting to Yu Yu's house as soon as possible to see the mysterious "good stuff".
Yu Yu was getting a little impatient waiting in the yard, and would run to the door to look in from time to time.
The warm winter sun shone on her body, but it could not dispel her full of expectations.
Just as she looked out again, several shadowy figures appeared on the street in the distance.
"It seems to be them!" Yuyu jumped up excitedly and shouted towards the yard at the top of her voice, "Mom, brother, they seem to be coming!"
Xiaoyu and Li Hao heard the noise and hurried out of the house. Li Hao put his hands on the tent and looked into the distance, saying with a smile: "Yes, that's them, they are finally here."
Yu Yu could no longer hold back, and like a foal breaking free from its reins, she ran out of the door and ran towards the increasingly clear figure.
As the distance got closer, she could clearly see Cheng Chumo pulling a cart and walking in front, followed by Qin Huaidao, Wei Shuyu, Fang Yiai, Li Deyu, and the prince surrounded by guards.
"You're finally here!" Yu Yu ran in front of everyone, panting, but with a bright smile on her face.
Cheng Chumo stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile: "Yuyu, you've given us a hard time looking for it. Tell me, what good stuff do you have that requires a cart to carry it?"
The others also cast curious glances at him. Yuyu blinked mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you yet, but I guarantee it's something you haven't seen before. Come with me!"
Yuyu led everyone towards the house, shouting as he walked, "Chef Mi, bring out breakfast!"
When everyone walked into the yard, they saw that Chef Mi had already placed a steaming hot breakfast on the stone table in the yard.
The rice porridge was steaming, and the golden fried eggs, fragrant pancakes, and a few brightly colored side dishes were emitting an enticing aroma.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Fang Yiai couldn't help but sniff, his eyes shining.
Yuyu smiled and called out to everyone: "Put the cart aside first. Come and have something to eat. You must be tired from traveling so fast."
Everyone put the cart aside as instructed and sat around the stone table.
The prince nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You are so thoughtful, Yuyu. I am indeed a little hungry on the way here."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks, savoring the delicious food and praising it.
Qin Huaidao took a bite of the pancake and gave a thumbs up: "This craftsmanship is amazing! Yuyu, which chef made this?"
Yuyu proudly introduced: "It's Chef Mi from the tavern!"
Everyone finished their breakfast in no time and put down their bowls and chopsticks with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
Yuyu patted her belly, stood up and invited enthusiastically: "Come on, I'll take you around and show you the vegetables and fruits that our family grows in the yard."
Cheng Chumo was the first to respond. He stood up, pushed his stool back, and said loudly, "Okay, I've been wanting to see this for a long time!"
The others also stood up and followed Yu Yu.
In the cold winter, the biting north wind whistled through Chang'an City, but Yu Yu's house had a uniquely warm scene.
Everyone walked slowly along the winding gravel road, the soles of their shoes rubbing against the road surface, making slight sounds.
On both sides of the road is a very neatly planned vegetable field.
Despite the frost, the green vegetables still have shiny green leaves. Rows of carrots have emerald green tops like jade carvings, and the cabbages are tightly wrapped with layers of leaves.
Wei Shuyu looked at the vegetable patch with admiration in his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim: "These vegetables are so well grown. They are so vibrant in this icy and snowy weather. You can tell they are carefully cared for."
Yuyu's face was filled with a proud smile as she began to introduce, "These are what we planted after returning from the tavern. We spent a lot of effort watering and fertilizing them. My mother always said that vegetables grown by hand taste the best."
The crowd continued walking forward and came to an orchard.
In the winter orchard, most of the fruit trees have lost their luxuriance, leaving only bare branches, standing silently in the cold wind, as if accumulating strength and waiting for the prosperity of the coming year.
However, several four-season orange trees are particularly eye-catching. The branches are laden with fruits, and the golden oranges hang heavily. In the pale winter sunlight, each one sparkles with an attractive luster, like a small lantern, illuminating this slightly bleak garden.
Li Deyu's eyes were full of curiosity. He couldn't help but move closer and gently stroke the orange, muttering, "I didn't expect to see such beautiful oranges in this snowy weather."
Seeing this, Yu Yu swiftly picked one, peeled it in a few seconds, and handed it to everyone: "Try it quickly, this is the treasure of our orchard, it's so sweet." Everyone took the orange and put it in their mouths. The sweet juice instantly bloomed on their taste buds, and the rich fruity aroma instantly dispelled the winter chill. Everyone showed a satisfied expression.
