Chapter 1067: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1067: Departure
Shu Yu left in a hurry yesterday without having a chance to inform Da Niu.
Now that she was determined to go to the capital, she naturally had to explain it clearly to him.
Da Niu was taken aback when he heard that she was going to the capital, "Then what about the matters at the farm?"
"I'll leave everything at the farm to you. I've already made arrangements with the Wu family for the trades. When it's time to harvest, you can handle the handover with them."
Shu Yu herself wasn't sure when she would return, but she knew that she wouldn't make it back in time for the alfalfa harvest.
Fortunately, after the incident with County Princess Zhang, no one dared to plot against her anymore, so the trade with the Wu family wasn't a big problem.
"If there are any unexpected situations or the need for re-negotiation, you can find Yuehua. I've already discussed it with her yesterday, and she will help you."
Da Niu had already recovered from his shock and nodded, "Alright, I'll take care of everything here."
After explaining everything that needed to be said, Shuyu didn't delay any further and set off with Ying Xi.
Unlike Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi, who were riding horses, she was traveling in a carriage.
It was already two days since she left, and even if they tried to catch up, they wouldn't be able to.
Moreover, although Shu Yu could ride horses, she wasn't particularly skilled. Riding non-stop for several days on horseback would exhaust her, and she wouldn't be able to stand up by the time they reached the capital.
Traveling by carriage was more comfortable, at least for her.
But despite that, after five days of traveling, Shu Yu and Ying Xi were still covered in dirt.
It was June, with scorching hot weather and unpredictable rain showers that caught them off guard.
Shuyu was fine inside the carriage, but Ying Xi had to drive the carriage, often getting drenched.
Occasionally, Shu Yu would take her place on the carriage shaft to give Ying Xi a break, but if not for that, Ying Xi would have struggled to keep up.
"We might have to take a boat." Shuyu looked at the sky. Goodness, it's getting dark again. Who knows when this rain will start pouring.
Ying Xi thought for a moment and said, "If we're taking a boat, the nearest place from here is Huajiang Prefecture. They have boats that go directly to the capital."
"Then let's go to Huajiang Prefecture."
Ying Xi nodded and looked ahead, tightening the reins in her hands.
Huajiang Prefecture, it had been four years since she last went there.
Shu Yu sat in the carriage and didn't see her expression, but she frowned and said, "It's going to rain again."
As soon as she said that, heavy rain started falling on the carriage roof, with large raindrops pounding down.
Shu Yu took out raincoats from the carriage and handed one to Ying Xi, "Hurry, put this on."
While people could wear raincoats, horses couldn't. Once it rained, their traveling speed naturally slowed down.
Thankfully, the rain in this season came and went quickly, and after about an hour or two, it would stop.
Shu Yu wasn't worried, but this time was different from before. The rain didn't stop at all; it only poured harder.
The ground quickly accumulated a layer of water, and even slightly uneven areas had become puddles, making the journey even more difficult.
"Miss, it's not good to continue on the road." Ying Xi wiped the rainwater off her face.
Despite having a carriage roof, wearing a raincoat, and carrying an umbrella, she still couldn't escape the rain hitting her face.
Shu Yu looked at the map and said, "I remember Shangyang Prefecture's city should be ahead. Let's go there first."
