Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

The task was heavy and the pressure was great, so Cheng Wan tensed up and started to get busy.

Escorting Concubine Liu and others, and escorting sweet potatoes, both of these tasks require extreme concentration and full preparation.

Cheng Wan checked the map from Shuoyang City to the capital, and continued to improve the team's route map that she had drawn on the way back.

How far you will walk each day and where you will stay each night must all be marked in advance.

With Concubine Liu and others around, we definitely can't just rush along like we did before. We have to make sure Concubine Liu and others can live as comfortably as possible on the road.

In addition, the possibility of encountering rainy days must also be taken into consideration.

After the itinerary was roughly arranged, Cheng Wan began to draw a sketch of the team's layout.

Who is in front, who is in the middle, who is in the back, and how many soldiers are arranged in each section.

These also need to have a charter in advance.

The plan is ready, and all that remains is to maintain communication with the Prince's Palace and the Crown Prince's Palace.

Cheng Wan needed to make a list of which noble lords were in the Prince's Mansion, which noble lords were in the Prince's Mansion, and how many carts of luggage each of the two mansions could pack so that she would have an idea.

In addition to the team arrangements, Cheng Wan also had to take the time to verify the number of sweet potatoes, keep relevant data records, and ask people to keep a close eye on the sweet potatoes and wait to load them onto the truck just before departure.

Actually, there didn't seem to be much that Cheng Wan needed to do, but Cheng Wan's brain was working almost all the time.

Just as the Minister of War Chu Tingjing said, before the coronation ceremony, Cheng Wan must lead the team safely to the capital.

The pressure is indeed great.

People cannot feel the passage of time when they are concentrating. Cheng Wan focused on making plans and arranging related matters. Day after day passed, and in the blink of an eye it was August 7th.

Old Mrs. Lin and others returned to the village with their bags yesterday, and now only Cheng Wan and the coachman Li Zuo are left in the city.

The sun was already high in the sky. Cheng Wan hurried out of the military headquarters and headed straight for where Li Zuo and the carriage were. "Go back to the village, hurry up."

The carriage rumbled out of the city. Cheng Wan sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, carefully reviewing what he had been busy with for the past two or three days, wondering if there was anything that needed to be improved.

"That's right!" Cheng Wan suddenly opened his eyes: "The imperial edict is still in the backyard of Suiyi Building!"

"stop……"

"Master, your mother wrapped the imperial edict and your golden seal and purple ribbon in a bundle and took them back. Have you forgotten?"

"Master?" Li Zuo shouted into the carriage.

"It's okay, keep going."

Cheng Wan rubbed his forehead, somewhat helplessly: "I really forgot about this."

At that time, she thought that there was no one in the backyard of Suiyi Building during the day, so she suggested that her mother take the imperial edict and the gold seal and purple ribbon back.

"Master, you are overworking your brain. You have almost finished all the arrangements. Don't think about work for now. Give your brain a rest."

"You have a point." Cheng Wan exhaled, a smile flashing in his eyes: "Jin Jin, how many people do you think will come today?"

"Jin Jin doesn't know the exact amount, but it's definitely not a small amount. Although Jin Jin is not a human, he also understands that many people who came to this banquet today are not only here for the host, but also for the many 'big shots' who came."

Cheng Wan chuckled: "Jinjin understands humans more and more."

……

In Pingnan Village, the aroma of food, the constant greetings, the laughter everywhere... interweave into an extremely vivid and lively picture.

Old Mrs. Lin attended the event today in her best attire. She sat in the main seat in the main hall, following the manner taught by Mao Ruochun, with her hands placed in front of her, smiling without showing her teeth, speaking little, and nodding slightly, with quite the aura of an old lady.

"Mrs. Tai Shu has an extraordinary demeanor. She is indeed worthy of being the grandmother of Marquis Zhaoping."

"That's right. Tai Shuren looks extraordinary, and Shuren can tell that she is a virtuous person. No wonder she was able to raise such an outstanding daughter like Marquis Zhaoping."

"The Emperor said in the imperial edict that Shuren is chaste and virtuous, and has taught her daughter well! I really want to learn from her, so that I can go back and teach my useless daughter. If she can learn even a little bit from Marquis Zhaoping, she will benefit from it for the rest of her life!"

……

Listening to all these various compliments, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang tried their best to suppress their panic and uncertainty, kept smiling, and chose their words carefully, for fear that something they said would be inappropriate and embarrass Cheng Wan.

When Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang were about to smile until their faces were frozen, the long-awaited voice of "The Marquis is back!" finally came from outside.

Old Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that when they looked back everyone would be there, but Cheng Wan, the most important person, was not there.

Moreover, since Cheng Wan was not around, the two of them were really panicked when facing these officials' wives, and they felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

If it weren't for Mao Ruochun who was there to give them some polite words and advice from time to time, the two of them would not have been able to hold on until now.

Old Mrs. Lin was helped to stand up by Wang. She deliberately slowed down her speech and smiled gently: "It's boring to sit in the house. Let's go out and take a look together."

All the officials' wives stood up, letting Old Lady Lin and Wang walk in front, and then they followed with their own thoughts.

Outside the gate, Cheng Wan got off the carriage and said in a clear voice, "It is my fault that I am late. Please forgive me."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Your Majesty is carrying out the emperor's orders, so you should take the emperor's orders seriously."

Among the officials currently present, the newly appointed Sima of Liangzhou had the highest official position, so he was the first to express his position to Cheng Wan.

The newly appointed Liangzhou Sibing had come into contact with Cheng Wan in the past two days and was not particularly unfamiliar with Cheng Wan. He immediately agreed, "We have only just arrived, and we took this opportunity to appreciate the Marquis's house. The design is quite ingenious. The Marquis is really talented."

Cheng Wan smiled, his brows and eyes were generous and open: "Today the sky is high and the clouds are light, neither too hot nor too cold, we can look at the fields in the distance and have a drink together on the terrace, which is a good idea, what do you think?"

"Okay! What the Marquis said is very refreshing. Come on, let's go to the terrace and talk." Si Bing laughed.

"Please." Cheng Wan stretched out his arm, led the way, and led the way inside.

Just then, another carriage arrived.

The carriage stopped and three people got out.

The Minister of Personnel was Yan Mu, the Minister of Works was Ying Changlin, and the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was Tan Jianshan.

How did these three get together?

Cheng Wan didn't have time to think too much and hurried to meet him. Mao Yuanyi and others followed closely behind Cheng Wan.

"Master Hou."

"Master Yan, Master Ying, Master Tan."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Yan Mu looked around and said, "It's really lively."

"That's right. We are leaving for the capital in the afternoon. It would be nice to join in the fun before we leave." Ying Changlin looked at Cheng Wan and joked, "My Lord, we are here to have a meal. Are you welcome?"

"I'd love to hear that! Please!"
