Chapter 414 Departure

When Shen Huazheng and his party left the capital, Zhou, Old Madam Zhou, Princess Yi'an and others all went there and escorted them to the city gate.

Grand Tutor Zhou, Shen Zhaonian and others originally wanted to send them away, but today was not a holiday.

Those who need to go on duty should go on duty, and those who need to go to school should go to school, so only the women can send them off.

The Shen brothers and Zhou Zeyan also wanted to ask for leave, but were ruthlessly rejected by Shen Zhaonian and Grand Tutor Zhou.

They had no choice but to go to work as they should and go to school as they should, hoping in their hearts that Chen Huazheng and the others would return soon.

Before Shen Zhaonian got on the carriage, he looked back at the carriage team that was getting farther and farther away, his eyes slightly red.

Zheng'er has never left them or the capital since she was a child.

This time, we are going to a place as far as the northwest.

I don’t know if I will have trouble eating or sleeping when I get to the northwest.

Zheng'er has a good temper and is a simple and kind person.

His only concern is food, and he doesn't even have the slightest sense of vigilance against others.

I don’t know if there will be any blind people who want to bully her when she arrives in the northwest.

It was clearly a non-event, but Shen Zhaonian seemed to have seen his daughter being bullied.

In the carriage, Zhou looked at her husband with red eyes, clenched fists and gritted teeth.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Zhaonian came back to his senses: "Wanyu, you said Zheng'er went to the northwest. Will there be officials who deliberately make things difficult for her because she is young?"

If it were in the capital or a nearby city, those officials would certainly not dare to do anything to Shen Huazheng.

But the northwest is a place far away from home, and some local bosses might be dissatisfied about being guided by a little girl.

It is possible that they were doing something behind the scenes, or they were trying to intimidate Zheng'er.

Although Zheng'er is an imperial envoy, she is, after all, just a young girl who has not experienced much of the world.

Although General Xie is also in the Northwest, he must be busy with his own things on weekdays, and I'm afraid he can't always take care of Zheng'er.

Although there were some officials from the Sinong Temple accompanying him, the Sinong Temple had always been a non-aggressive organization.

Those officials were all weak scholars who only knew how to grow vegetables and raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.

If something really happens, I'm afraid I can't rely on those people.

Zhou: ...

Even if you want to trip someone up, you have to trip them up first.

Not to mention the ferocious guards His Majesty sent to protect Zheng'er, even General Xie would not allow local officials to trip up Zheng'er.

"My dear husband, you don't have to worry. Zheng'er is an imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty himself, and her status is different from that of an ordinary official. Besides, didn't His Majesty send people to protect Zheng'er? Those people are all representing His Majesty. Who dares to trip up Zheng'er in front of them?"

Shen Zhaonian:…(*￣0￣)ノ

Yes, how could he forget that His Majesty specially sent the imperial guard to accompany Zheng'er to the northwest.

It's true that worrying too much makes one confused. He even forgot such an important thing.

Yes, those guards are all the emperor’s men.

If they refused to cooperate with the imperial envoy from the capital in front of them, it would not just be a provocation to Zheng'er, but a provocation to His Majesty.

Moreover, he has already written to his good friends in the northwest.

Even if something really goes wrong, there is no need to worry too much.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something when Zhou's voice came back again -

"Besides, promoting potato planting is beneficial to the country and the people. It is impossible for local officials in the northwest not to cooperate with such a good thing."

Shen Zhaonian laughed out loud: "Madam, you are absolutely right. I was just thinking about it the wrong way for a moment."

Wanyu is so smart and has a clear understanding of things.

Zheng'er is so smart because she is very much like her.

Zhou was speechless for a moment as she looked at Shen Zhaonian's bright and somewhat frightening eyes.

This change of attitude is too fast.

But on second thought, I felt it was normal.

A mother worries about her son even when he is far away, and the same goes for a father.

"Husband, you didn't eat much for breakfast today. Do you want to eat something after you go back?"

The Shen family had breakfast together today.

The closer it got to the time when Shen Huazheng was about to leave, the more anxious Shen Zhaonian became.

He was extremely worried when he thought about his daughter going so far away from home.

During almost the entire meal, Shen Zhaonian repeatedly reminded Shen Huazheng.

She was asked to pay attention to this and that, and she had no time to eat.

Originally, he thought it was nothing, but after Zhou said that, Shen Zhaonian felt a little hungry.

"Okay, let's go back and eat some more."

Zhou also smiled: "The egg-filled pancakes this morning were made by Zheng'er herself, and they are quite delicious. I'll have someone heat them up when I get home and we can eat them."

Hearing this, Shen Zhaonian immediately regretted it. The breakfast was made by Zheng'er herself, and he should have tasted it carefully.

Well, the remaining egg-filled pancakes are all his.
