Lord Yun was an honest official, and his family didn't have any large businesses. The Yun family always lived a frugal life.
Yun Yuqi brought four horses with him this time. Two of them belonged to his brother-in-law. Yun Yuqi's original plan was for the four guards to ride two horses, for him and Mozhu to ride one, and for the remaining horse to be used to pull a carriage to carry Aunt Feng and Sisi.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Feng and her companions also had four horses!
One horse was used to pull things, another horse was used to pull Aunt Feng and Sisi, and the other two were spares.
Yun Yuqi wanted to ask whose four horses they were.
Mo Zhu wanted to borrow two horses from Aunt Feng and the others. That way, he and another guard wouldn't have to share a horse with anyone else.
Aunt Feng hid in the carriage, pretending not to know anything.
Sisi sat next to Lao Bai, looking at the scenery.
Old Bai would click his tongue every now and then, saying things like, "How pitiful!" or "How cruel!"
Old Hei remained expressionless.
After a quarter of an hour, Yun Yuqi was so annoyed by Lao Bai's "tsk tsk" and "How pitiful!" "How cruel!" that she gave Mo Zhu a wink.
Mo Zhu looked at Si Si with a smile and said, "Miss, whose horses are these? Could we borrow them for a ride?"
"cannot."
"..." This little brat is not only greedy, but also stingy! Greedy?! "Miss, we can pay the rent."
Sisi looked at Mozhu. "That's fine. Pay up."
"..." You know perfectly well that our money has been stolen. "Can we pay you back when we get back to the capital?"
"Can't."
Mo Zhu was at her wit's end.
Yun Yuqi glanced into the carriage. "What do you want in return for lending us the horse?"
Sisi looked at Yun Yuqi and said, "Don't interfere with me after we return to the capital. I can go out whenever I want and do whatever I want."
Yun Yuqi glanced at Lao Bai and Lao Hei. With those two around, he couldn't control them even if he wanted to. Besides, he didn't want to. "Fine."
"Including your parents and your grandparents."
"OK."
Old Bai gave the two spare horses to Mo Zhu and another guard. After giving them to them, he patted the two horses that had just carried the two men. "You must be exhausted. Remember to find a good master in your next life."
Yun Yuqi: "..." Your carload of stuff is much heavier than two people!
Mo Zhu: "..." If you didn't have two idle horses, if you didn't keep clicking your tongue and saying "How pitiful" and "How cruel!", would we need to borrow horses from you? We're not made of iron, and we won't break the horses.
After getting back into the car, Lao Bai said, "Hold on tight!" and started accelerating.
In the blink of an eye, Aunt Feng and the others had left Yun Yuqi and the others behind.
Yun Yuqi's face was covered in dirt.
Mo Zhu waited in surprise for Aunt Feng and Si Si to scream, but they never did. "Third Young Master, let's go too."
"Hmm." If they hadn't not only negotiated with him but also lent him their horses, he would have thought they were trying to run away. "Giddy up!"
Yun Yuqi tried to catch up with Sisi and the others, but she couldn't.
The guards could catch up, but they couldn't abandon Yun Yuqi to chase after Sisi and the others.
When Yun Yuqi and the others caught up with Sisi and the others, Aunt Feng had already heated up the pancakes. "Are you hungry? Have a pancake to tide you over, the soup will be ready soon."
Old Bai clicked his tongue twice as he helped Aunt Feng tend the fire. "Young masters are just no good. They don't pull anything and run so slowly. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were on a trip."
Yun Yuqi didn't want to pay attention to Lao Bai, nor did she have the energy to.
Yun Yuqi was completely exhausted. "Where's the child?"
"Going to play."
"Where did you go?" Did you go to the county town again?
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lao Hei carried Sisi on his back and came down from the nearby mountain with two pheasants in his arms.
Mo Zhu looked at the guards. Meaning: Why don't you go and catch a couple too?
The guards also wanted to challenge Old White and Old Black.
So the guards split into two groups. One group stayed to watch over Yun Yuqi, while the other went up the mountain to catch pheasants.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that Sisi and Lao Hei had brought bait (food) to catch them.
When they returned with the pheasant, Sisi and the others, along with Yun Yuqi and the others, had already finished eating.
Yun Yuqi and Mozhu thought Sisi wouldn't give them chicken. Unexpectedly, Sisi gave them one directly. When she gave it to them, Sisi looked at Yun Yuqi and said, "I keep my word. I said I'd feed you, and I will. You have to keep your word too."
Yun Yuqi looked at Aunt Feng and said, "Don't worry."
Aunt Feng thought to herself, "Why are you looking at me? I'm not getting involved. That's between you and your father."
Aunt Feng was unlikely to cook another meal for the two guards. The two guards ate a few pancakes and drank a few sips of soup before setting off.
Yun Yuqi wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
Sisi wanted to find out as soon as possible why Yun Yuqi had taken her and her daughter back to Beijing.
So both groups of people were very serious about their journey.
Soon, the two groups arrived in Suicheng.
Once you pass Suicheng, you'll reach the capital.
Yun Yuqi assumed that Sisi would simply skip this step as well. Unexpectedly, Sisi pointed at Suicheng and said, "I like this city, I want to go in and play."
Aunt Feng continued to hide in the carriage, pretending not to hear.
Yun Yuqi frowned. "We'll be in the capital in a few days. The capital is much more fun than here. Let's go to the capital and have some fun."
Sisi: "No! I'm not going to the city!"
"Alright!" Old Bai said as he drove the carriage toward the city gate, "You guys go ahead. You're as slow as oxen, we could catch up with you even if we stayed here for three days."
Yun Yuqi wanted to leave first, but couldn't. "Let's go into the city!"
