Chapter 173 The Lost Prince
"Don't worry, when we get out of the city and back home, I will definitely let you eat your fill." Butcher Yun touched Yun Yiyi's hair and said with a smile.
"Uncle, we want all your peaches. Can you give us a lower price?"
The stall owner glanced at Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu, and seeing that they were silent, he knew that they meant the same thing.
In previous years when the weather was good, peaches were big and sweet, and they had no trouble selling. But in the past two years of drought, everyone was short of food and water, so peaches, a fruit that does not fill the stomach, were not selling well.
He brought two baskets of peaches, weighing more than 80 kilograms, and set up his stall as soon as the city gate opened in the morning. So far, he has sold more than 20 kilograms of peaches. Even so, the peach buyers still complained that the peaches were small and not as big as in previous years.
Forget it. If they buy them all at once, I can just lower the price. Otherwise, as it is, I won’t be able to sell all the peaches before I leave town today.
"If you all buy them, I'll charge you 20 cents per pound." The stall owner said cruelly.
Butcher Yun glanced at Old Man Wu, and Old Man Wu nodded.
"Then please weigh all the peaches," said Yun the butcher.
The stall owner weighed the two baskets of peaches again and found that they weighed 66 kilograms with the baskets.
"Before I came, I weighed the empty baskets. One empty basket weighs three catties, and two empty baskets weigh six catties. So minus the weight of the baskets, the peaches weigh sixty catties."
"But I'm afraid the peaches might get bruised, so I'll give you another pound. You can pay me for 59 pounds."
"Fifty-nine pounds of peaches is one tael of silver and one hundred and eighty coins. Uncle, am I right in my calculation?" Yun Yiyi said quickly.
"Yes, that's right. I didn't expect a little girl like you to calculate so quickly." The stall owner praised in surprise.
"You're too kind. But my little girl is really good at calculating." Yun the Butcher said happily.
Old Man Wu paid the stall owner. Butcher Yun took a basket in each hand and put it on Old Man Wu's mule cart.
Butcher Yun and his companions walked around for a while and came across a shop selling steamed buns. He and Old Man Wu each bought some meat buns.
Next to the steamed buns shop was a braised meat shop, and Yun Yiyi asked Yun the butcher to buy five pounds of braised beef. Yun the butcher had not wanted to buy it at first, as he already had a lot of meat at home.
However, thinking that he had to eat meat secretly at home, and everyone hadn't eaten braised beef in soy sauce for a long time, Yun the butcher made up his mind and bought five pounds of braised beef in soy sauce.
After buying the braised beef, Yun the butcher looked back at Yun Yiyi's much thinner face and Xie Zirui's thin arms, and felt that it was worth it.
Old Man Wu also bought five catties of braised beef, just like Yun the butcher. Old Man Wu's family never lacked meat, so buying five catties of braised beef was a piece of cake for him.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yun the Butcher discussed with Old Man Wu and prepared to leave the city.
They drove the mule cart all the way to the South Gate.
The first thing Yun the butcher and Wu the old man did when they arrived at the South Gate was to park the mule cart next to the well. The officer selling water brought a bucket of water over, and Yun the butcher and Wu the old man were busy cleaning the water tank.
Only after the two men cleaned the water tank, filled it with water, and paid the soldiers for the water did they drive the mule cart out of the city.
In Yunzhou, which is far away from here, there is a tense atmosphere in the eldest prince's mansion.
In a study room filled with books and paintings, a man was reporting intelligence to the eldest prince who was sitting behind the desk.
"Is there still no news about Zirui?" asked a deep voice.
"Replying to the eldest prince, our people have not received any news about the prince so far."
"How long has Rui'er been missing? Why don't you have any news about Rui'er?" Along with it came a covered bowl that fell to the ground.
The man kneeling on the ground almost fell to the ground when he saw this.
"Tell me, what's wrong? Are you mute?" the man sitting behind the desk growled.
"Replying to the eldest prince, the people escorting the prince are in the second prince's fiefdom. After being attacked by the second prince's men, we can't contact them anymore."
"The man who escaped said that they stopped the attackers and the nurse escaped with the prince. However, the second prince sent too many people and the prince's guards were all killed. He was the only one who escaped."
"The drought in the Second Prince's fiefdom is more severe than here. Moreover, the government there doesn't care about the lives of the refugees and forces them to flee."
"So, there are refugees everywhere. Finding one person is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Grand Prince, please give me some more time, and I will definitely bring the prince back."
The study was quiet for a while.
"Go, bring some more people, disguise yourself, and bring the prince back."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best."
"Okay, let's go."
The man kneeling on the ground heard this and quickly left the study. After leaving the study, he wiped the sweat off his face and tugged at his clothes, which were all wet due to nervousness.
I don't know why the people who went to look for the prince were so slow. The prince has been missing for so many days, but they haven't found him yet. No wonder the eldest prince got so angry.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, I'd better send more people to look for the prince. The place where the prince disappeared is now full of refugees. If anything happens to the prince, everyone will die.
The eldest prince sat in the study for a while, calmed down, and then walked to the backyard of the palace.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
"What is the princess doing?"
"The princess is copying Buddhist scriptures in the small study right now." A maid replied.
The eldest prince turned and walked towards the small study. When he entered the study, the eldest prince's wife was copying Buddhist scriptures seriously.
"Minmin, you're not feeling well, why don't you rest in your room?" the eldest prince said with concern.
"Brother, is there any news about Zirui?" The beautiful woman who was copying Buddhist scriptures hurriedly put down her pen and ran over.
"There is no definite news yet. But no news is the best news now." The eldest prince helped the woman sit on the chair next to him.
"Brother, what do you mean?" the woman asked in confusion.
"With my second brother's personality, if he caught Zirui, he would definitely threaten me. However, there is no news from the Second Prince's Mansion now."
"This means that my second brother has not caught Zirui so far."
"But, senior brother, I heard that there is a serious drought in the second prince's fiefdom, and there are many refugees. Zirui and his wet nurse have no food or water, how can they come back?" The woman started crying as she spoke.
"Minmin, don't worry. Zirui has always been smart, and the nanny has raised him since he was a child. I believe that the two of them will definitely turn danger into safety."
