Chapter 1067 Departure
Shu Yu left in a hurry yesterday and didn't even have time to say goodbye to Da Niu.
Now that it's decided to go to the capital, it's natural to explain things clearly to him.
When Da Niu heard that she was going to the capital, he was completely stunned. "Then this..."
"I'm entrusting all matters concerning the estate to you. I've already discussed the sale of the golden lily with the Wu family. When it's harvest time, you'll be in charge of the handover with the Wu family."
Shu Yu herself wasn't sure when she would be back, but she definitely wouldn't make it before the alfalfa harvest.
Fortunately, after the incident with Lady Zhang, no one dared to scheme against her anymore, and the business dealings with the Wu family were not a big problem.
"If anything unexpected happens or if you need to communicate again, just contact Yuehua. I already spoke to her yesterday, and she will help."
Da Niu had already come to his senses and nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, leave this to me."
Having finished explaining everything that needed to be explained, Shu Yu didn't linger any longer and set off with Ying Xi.
Unlike Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi who rode horses, she rode in a carriage.
Since we've already set off two days late, there's no way we can catch up even if we wanted to.
Moreover, although Shu Yu can ride a horse, she's not particularly skilled. If she were to ride non-stop for several days, she probably wouldn't even be able to stand up by the time she reached the capital; she'd definitely collapse.
The horse-drawn carriage was quite fast, so it was at least a bit more comfortable.
Even so, after traveling for five days, Shu Yu and Ying Xi were still covered in dust and dirt.
It's June now, and the weather is not only scorching hot, but also unpredictable. Rain often comes down without warning, catching them completely off guard.
Shu Yu was fine sitting inside the carriage, but Ying Xi, who was driving, often got soaked while sitting on the carriage shaft.
In other words, Shu Yu didn't care much about status and would occasionally take turns traveling with her; otherwise, Ying Xi really wouldn't have been able to handle it.
"Looks like we'll have to take a boat after all." Shu Yu looked at the sky; good heavens, it's getting gloomy again. She wondered when the rain would start.
Yingxi thought for a moment and said, "If we're going by boat, the closest place is Huajiang Prefecture, where there are boats that go directly to the capital."
"Then let's go to Huajiang Prefecture."
Yingxi nodded, looking at the road ahead, and tightened his grip on the reins slightly.
She hadn't been back to Huajiang Prefecture for four years.
Shu Yu sat in the carriage and didn't see her expression. She just frowned and said, "It's going to rain again."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, a loud crackling sound came from the roof of the carriage, and huge raindrops pounded down straight down.
Shu Yu took the raincoat out of the car and handed it to Ying Xi, saying, "Put it on quickly."
Humans can wear raincoats, but horses cannot. Once it rains, their speed naturally slows down.
Fortunately, the rain comes and goes quickly at this time of year, and it should stop in about 15 or 20 minutes.
Shu Yu wasn't worried, but this time was different from usual. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it showed no sign of stopping.
The ground quickly accumulated a layer of water, and even slightly uneven areas became potholed, making travel increasingly difficult.
"Miss, it's not advisable to continue on our way." Ying Xi wiped the rain off her face.
Even though there was a roof over the carriage and I was wearing a raincoat and a straw hat, I still couldn't stop the rain from hitting my face.
Shu Yu looked at a map and said, "I think the city of Shangyang Prefecture is just ahead. Let's go and go into the city first."
