I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Jiang Wan and Qin Yunzheng's marriage was scheduled for a month later, so Jiang Yuan and his sister would definitely not be able to make it.

However, Jiang Huai received a task from the emperor in the court. It was not a lucrative job, but it was definitely an important one. Accompanying him on the trip was a young assistant minister from the Ministry of Revenue, Yuan Mingyi.

When they go to survey the river and prevent flooding and disaster relief, they must have someone in charge of the purse with them. This young minister is acquainted with Xie Yunxiao. He is a trustworthy person and also comes from a family of scholars. His grandfather and father are both officials in the court.

The emperor was taught by his grandfather when he was a child. Although the elder has retired and is resting at home, the emperor occasionally asks the old man for advice.

Yuan Mingyi can be considered the emperor's confidant.

Jiang Zhou was in the court. When he learned that Jiang Huai had gotten such an assignment, he didn't know whether he was sad or happy. He just felt a little regretful. He was very sure of it, and he was regretting it more and more.

When Jiang Huai was highly valued by the emperor, he regretted even more. How could he have ignored such an outstanding son before?

Therefore, after Jiang Huai received the mission, the emperor gave him three days to prepare. He set out three days later, and the next day, people from the Jiang Mansion came to his door.

The servant at the door did not go to find Jiang Huai, but went directly to find Jiang Yuan.

The servant of the Jiang Mansion was waiting at the gate. When he saw Jiang Yuan slowly walking towards him, his heart trembled. Seeing the look in the second lady's eyes, why did he feel that his life was in danger today?

The servant's prediction was correct. Although his life was saved, he was dragged into Jiang Yuan's mansion, the door was closed, and he was beaten up. He was also told to convey a message that no matter who came to Jiang Yuan's mansion, their fate would be worse than his.

If Jiang Zhou didn't care about his old teeth and the few hairs on his head, he could just come to him in person. She, Jiang Yuan, would sacrifice her reputation just to loosen his bones.

So, Jiang Zhou, who was asking for trouble, was once again rejected by someone he liked. Oh, no, it was a cold butt. He was so angry that he pulled Jiang Hao out and beat him up again.

Qu Ying decided to go with them. It was already the afternoon of the last day, and Fu Yun hurried to the Jiang Residence to report the news. The next morning, the Marquis's carriage was already waiting at the gate of the Jiang Residence.

Jiang Huai thought that Qu Ying would be late, but he didn't expect that she was waiting at the door early.

With the addition of a carriage from the Marquis' Mansion, the Jiang family's original three carriages were reduced to two, one for the luggage and one for Jiang Huai and his servant Ah Qi.

Jiang Yuan and two maids sat in the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion. One of Qu Ying's two maids rode a horse, and only Siyun sat in the carriage.

At the city gate, in addition to several other carriages that were traveling together, there was a carriage belonging to the Yu Mansion parked.

Yu Shuhe was crying and reluctant to get out of the carriage. She held Qu Ying and Jiang Yuan's hands and sobbed, "I just got the news last night that Lingling is going with you. Now that you two have left the capital, I am so bored alone.

And I heard that you guys are going to provide disaster relief, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to make it in time for my wedding. If you don’t marry me off, I really don’t want to bother with you anymore.”

Qu Ying wiped Shu He's tears and comforted her, saying, "I'll bring you gifts. I'll bring you anything new that I see.

I'm afraid that by the time I return this time, it will be autumn, and I will definitely not be able to make it in time for your wedding. However, we both have prepared your dowry, and mother will send it to you when the time comes.

Stop crying, it’s windy outside and your face will hurt after crying.”

Jiang Yuan also said a few words of comfort. Shu He waved behind her, and two maids brought out several boxes from the car. "These are some snacks made overnight, as well as sesame cakes and the like. They can be stored.

I know you guys prepared some dry food, but it's better to have more just in case. I also prepared some spices. A Yuan's barbecue secret recipe is so good, I asked people to prepare it as soon as possible. You can catch some fish or hunt some rabbits outside and have a good meal."

After saying a few more words reluctantly, he said goodbye to Yu Shuhe and officially left the city gate.

There were five horse-drawn carriages, one cart, and thirty soldiers, all riding on horses. The huge convoy set off.

After about two hours of driving, the carriage stopped. Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying were leaning against the carriage, half asleep. The carriage stopped, Chunzhi pushed open the door, and Lu Chuan came over on horseback. He said it was noon, and they should stop to rest for a while and eat something.

He woke up the two sleepy people and got off the carriage. The wind blew away their sleepiness. He stretched himself and walked to the carriage at the back to take the food taken down from it.

Some soldiers had already lit a fire, and they had a meal of steamed buns, baked cakes and other foods they had prepared, with beef and pickles.

Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying sat on a big rock, eating and pointing at the surrounding scenery with smiles on their faces.

"Let's rest here for a while. Miss Qu doesn't often walk for such a long time." Jiang Huai took the initiative to speak. He was afraid that the girl would feel embarrassed if he let her speak first.

Unexpectedly, Qu Ying stood up, holding the steamed bun in her hand, and waved to Jiang Huai to refuse, "No, no, big brother, don't worry about me.

Since I have decided to follow you, I cannot hold you back and delay the journey. I can do whatever it takes, whether it means riding a horse day and night, sleeping in the open air, or eating bread to fill my stomach. You don't have to worry about me at all."

Xie Yunxiao laughed and patted Jiang Huai on the shoulder, jokingly saying, "See, your kindness is not needed.

You still don't understand Miss Qu Er. She is not as delicate as she looks."

Qu Ying picked up a small stone and threw it at Xie Yunxiao, "You are such a chatterbox."

Jiang Yuan really didn't worry about Qu Ying's health, but was worried about Jiang Huai.

Qu Ying practices boxing every day. When Jiang Yuan was in the Marquis' Mansion, he would force her to exercise every day, and she has already mastered it. On the contrary, Jiang Huai is a scholar and does not exercise often. I am afraid that if they really compete in physical strength, he is no match for Qu Ying.

Since Miss Qu didn't need to rest, the group had lunch, rested for about ten minutes, and then continued on their journey.

However, Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying no longer rode in a carriage. Instead, they each rode a horse and followed the team. Both girls were good at riding, so there was no need to worry at all.

In the evening, they arrived at the small town on the map. The soldiers who had led the way had already arranged an inn, and the group almost booked half of the inn.

The meals had been arranged with the inn long ago, and as soon as we arrived, the food was served. The food was not particularly exquisite, just enough to fill us up.

The most interesting thing was that the men at a table were all stunned when they saw the two girls, each eating a bowl of rice, a steamed bun and drinking two bowls of soup, and gnawing on the huge chicken legs without caring about their image at all.

Xie Yunxiao took a bite of the steamed bun, but before he swallowed it, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you usually secretly have extra meals in your room?

I've never seen you two eat so much on weekdays?"

Jiang Yuan drank a mouthful of soup, which warmed his stomach, and squinted his eyes comfortably, "Fourth brother, this physical exertion is also different."

"Yes, yes, second sister is right." Xie Yunxiao said as he picked up a piece of fish for Jiang Yuan.
