Wen Jing also advocated to the dean of Hengyue Academy that people should put what they have learned into practice instead of just studying. The dean immediately decided to write an article or paint a picture on the theme of going to the sea.
After receiving the order, the students followed Mu Siqing to go fishing. Before leaving, Mu Siqing told them that they would have to rely on themselves for dinner today.
Whatever we pick up from the sea will be our dinner. Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this. Some brave students asked, "Master Mu, are we really going to eat what we pick up today?"
"Of course, not only that, we also have to cook these foods ourselves. This is the fun of today's barbecue party. You will understand after it's over. Now go pick up seafood obediently, otherwise you will be hungry at night."
Mu Siqing hopes that students can experience the fun of barbecue for themselves, and he thinks it will definitely be a really delicious series.
Although the students found it a little hard to believe, this was also a novel experience for them and they were all eager to try it out.
When evening came, the beach really became lively. Mr. Zheng had someone send over several carts of wine made from grain, which went perfectly with tonight's seafood barbecue.
At this time, the people from Zhoujia Village came in handy, delivering seasonings to everyone, cleaning seafood, skewering prawns, etc.
Whether they are students, wealthy businessmen, or ladies and girls, once they truly see the charm of seafood barbecue, they will find that it can be done this way!
When people from Zhoujia Village came to teach everyone how to grill, everyone wanted to try it. When they saw the seafood they picked up being placed on the grill, they felt a sense of accomplishment from doing it themselves.
The seafood is amazing when it is grilled and put into the mouth. Most of the people who came today are locals from Haicheng, and it is the first time for them to know that seafood can be so delicious.
Eating delicious seafood barbecue, drinking wine, and feeling the sea breeze, life is so pleasant.
County Magistrate Ou was busy communicating with everyone and conveying the government's intentions. After a round, everyone understood what the county magistrate meant.
After tonight's barbecue feast, many people smelled business opportunities and took the initiative to sign up.
In this way, Haicheng barbecue became popular in Haicheng.
The second day.
County Magistrate Ou personally visited Wen Jing, Murong Shu and others. He is now full of confidence in the development of Haicheng.
Murong Shu gave him some feasible suggestions, and County Magistrate Ou went back as if he had found a treasure. He was now full of energy and just wanted to make Haicheng rich as soon as possible.
Murong Shu and his group stayed in Haicheng for another ten days. When things here were almost done, they decided to return to Beijing.
Wen Jing and Mu Siqing had taken an extra-long vacation, and it was indeed time for them to return to Beijing. Fortunately, because of the Haicheng incident, the emperor was so happy that he granted them some more vacation time.
They decided to set off three days later, and this time they decided to go back by carriage, and bring back some specialties from Haicheng.
But in the evening of that day, Mr. Zheng came to the house anxiously and delivered an urgent letter to Murong Shu. This letter was sent through the Rong family. Usually, the Zheng and Rong families would send letters by carrier pigeon when they had urgent matters.
When Mr. Zheng read the content of the letter, he came to the house without even having time to have dinner.
"Madam Wen, something happened in the capital. This is an urgent letter sent to you from the Zhenshan Palace." Master Zheng handed the letter to Murong Shu.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Murong Shu quickly took the letter handed over by Master Zheng, and his expression became increasingly ugly.
"Master Zheng, I'll leave the matters of the house to you. We have to return to Beijing immediately." Murong Shu decided to return to Beijing immediately and leave the rest of the matters to Master Zheng to handle.
"Mrs. Wen, don't worry. Leave this to me. Those that need to be sent back to the capital will be sent back together with the next ship that transports sea goods." Mr. Zheng knew the urgency of the matter.
"Husband, second brother, second sister-in-law, Yueyue, pack up immediately and set off in half an hour." Murong Shu turned around and said to them.
"Did something happen to Shu'er?" Jun Mingyue was very anxious. She seemed to have heard the words "Zhenshan Palace" just now.
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry. The prince wrote to say that Ming Che and Ming Yuan had a fever today, and they had something similar to cowpox. The imperial physician's diagnosis today was not certain, and the prince hopes that I can go back and help take a look."
Murong Shu told the contents of the letter to several people. Since she had decided to set off immediately, she had her own considerations.
"Che'er and Yuan'er have always been healthy, how could this happen? Shu'er, let's go now." Upon hearing that her brothers were in trouble, Ming Yueyue suddenly became at a loss.
"Yue'er, calm down first. I'll go ask the county magistrate for a few fast horses, and we'll set off right away!" Mu Siqing saw Jun Mingyue panicking and hurried to comfort her.
"Act separately. Yueyue and your second brother will go to the county government office to find Commander Ou!" Wen Jing arranged for Yueyue and Mu Siqing to go to the county government office together.
Half a quarter of an hour later, four Ferghana horses galloped from Haicheng to the capital.
Because the matter was urgent, several people were traveling at night, taking the official road. Every time they arrived at a post station, Jun Mingyue took out the token of King Zhenshan, changed the horses, rested, ate something, and continued on their journey.
Murong Shu didn't ride a horse often, so Yueyue, Jun Mingyue and Mu Siqing took turns leading her along the way. As they kept traveling, they finally arrived in the capital on the morning of the third day after their departure.
King Zhenshan knew that they would surely hurry back, so Ning Yi and his eldest brother had been guarding the city gate these days. Because they were not sure when they would arrive, the Ning family had hardly any rest these days.
Originally, several people were worried that they would not be able to get in early in the morning, but Ning Yi saw them first, and quickly took out the token that King Zhenshan had asked for from the emperor, and the gatekeeper quickly opened the city gate.
"Shu'er, Yue'er, you are finally back, come with me to the palace!" Ning Yi was very surprised to see them, and without any nonsense, he urged them to go to Zhenshan Palace quickly.
Several people also knew the urgency of the matter and did not dare to waste time, so they went directly to Zhenshan Palace.
As soon as the carriage passed the intersection, Xiao Si in the mansion saw the people riding on the carriage and ran happily towards the mansion, shouting as he ran, "The prince, princess, princess and Miss Mu are back."
When Prince Zhenshan and the Princess heard that Murong Shu and the others had returned, they walked out excitedly.
After returning to the palace, Jun Mingyue and the others walked faster. Ning Yi led the way and they went directly to the courtyard where Mingche and Mingyuan lived.
They met the King of Zhenshan and his wife at the gate of the courtyard. The wife could not help crying when she saw Murong Shu and the others. "Shu'er, Yue'er, thank you for your hard work!"
"Aunt Ning, we're back. I'll go in and see Che'er and Yuan'er first, and then we'll talk in detail later." Murong Shu comforted Ning Ran before going to the room.
"Mother, my brothers will be fine. Shu'er is here." Jun Mingyue saw that his mother looked haggard. Although he hadn't slept for two days and nights, he still felt sorry for Ning Ran.
"Mother, you know that now that Shu'er is back, your brothers will be saved!" Ning Ran held her daughter's hand and finally saw hope in her heart.
