Galloping for thousands of miles like a torch, the wind and clouds were changing constantly. The package was heavy. It was a winged cavalry express. Go, go, don't let it drift.
In the dining hall at night.
"Brother Yi, take out the prize. We'll rest in the morning tomorrow and give out the prize after the competition in the afternoon. Is the baby asleep? "
Li Chengqi didn't intend to eat the staple food. He boiled some wine and talked to Li Yi.
He wanted to drink with Li Yi, but Li Yi refused.
"She's breastfeeding. It's too difficult to take care of a sick baby. Fortunately, there are many capable people in Zhuangzi." Li Yi sighed when he talked about the baby.
He admired single mothers the most for giving birth and taking care of their children.
Ordinary babies were already tired to death when two people took turns to take care of them. If they were sick, oh my god! He didn't dare to think about it.
They were facing such a situation now. Fortunately, there were women in Zhuangzi. They often chatted and talked about how to take care of their children.
Once they knew that there was an eight-month-old baby who was sick, they selected good people to take turns to take care of him. The eunuchs and palace maids learned from them.
However, the baby only recognized Li Yi. He would smile when he saw Li Yi and cry when he didn't.
When Li Yi played the violin and sang for him, he would 'sing' with him.
Only when he was drinking milk would he temporarily forget Li Yi. When he was sleepy after eating, he would wait for Li Yi. If he couldn't wait, he would close his eyes and sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, he was energetic and wanted to play. Li Yi must be there.
"During the Spring Festival, someone might come to Zhuangzi to buy vegetables. My supply is very strict. Only yours is more relaxed."
Li Chengqi reminded Li Yi. It was almost the first lunar month. Who didn't want to have a good meal? Where to buy? Of course, it was Zhuangzi.
"I'll sell. I'll set the price high, including Zhang's village." Li Yi didn't want to be enemies with them.
The vegetables in Zhuangzi were supplied to Earthly Paradise and eaten by themselves. There were many people.
However, it was also the time for the growth of vegetables, especially cucumbers. There were more and more of them.
***
On the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, early in the morning, the weather was good and sunny.
Sure enough, what Li Chengqi said happened. The group of people who came to buy soy sauce were discussing with Song De about buying vegetables.
Soy sauce was a failure every day. Now, the price had been set.
Two thousand per catty. Those who want to buy can discuss it with each other.
It couldn't be less than two thousand. Song De wouldn't agree if it was less than that.
If there was a situation where negotiations could not go well, and someone raised the price, they had to snatch it.
When it came to vegetables, they worked together again. After selling the soy sauce, they made their demands.
There were also people from rich families who didn't participate in the soy sauce sale. They wanted to force Zhuangzi to give in.
"You can buy vegetables. We will sell them. Don't worry, everyone. The price is fixed. We will try our best to weigh them." Song De agreed.
"There's also soap and glycerin." Someone asked for more.
"I won't sell this vegetable to him. Does anyone have any objections?" Song De naturally eliminated that person.
No one said anything. Were they going to snatch it if they had any objections? Zhuangzi was armed with a crossbow and heavy armor.
Ordinary bows and light armor could be equipped by people, but strong bows and leather armor with a certain amount of metal on them were restricted.
Zhuangzi also had cavalry. Who could stop the cavalry charge?
The person who spoke was dumbfounded. You …
I'm charging in front, but you don't even say anything?
"Steward Song, I'm just joking." The person admitted defeat.
"I'm not joking. I'm not selling to you. You can get some from others." Song De refused, but he helped to come up with an idea.
The person looked at the people around him and took a few steps back. He wanted to find someone to pay for it and ask for help.
Someone did want to help, but then … Li Yi appeared.
The four palace maids and four eunuchs beside him were terrifying.
"It's limited. Sigh! I'm too kind as a steward. "Li Yi said and shook his head.
The person who wanted to help that person just now made up his mind. He didn't care anymore. After he finished buying and left, he would pay more.

At the same time, in Xiangzhou, Shannan Province.
Five hundred cavalrymen appeared in the House of Subjugation under the morning sun. They wore red clothes and red cloaks. They didn't wear black clothes.
When the people of the House of Subjugation saw these cavalrymen, they didn't know what they were here for.
They also went home and took out their weapons. If they wanted to bully people, they wouldn't agree.
"We're here to deliver something for Li Yi and Zhuangzi by the Ba River in Chang 'an. Where are the white households? Li Yi and Li Dongzhu were worried that you wouldn't have a good New Year, so they asked us to deliver some food and utensils. "
The battalion commander didn't want any conflict. He sat on his horse and shouted loudly. The other Winged Knights also shouted.
When they heard this, the people of the House of Subjugation put away their weapons. Those who lived nearby went to call for help. Those who lived far away could only let the Winged Knights continue to run.
Those who lived nearby came out with their wives and children.
"I am. My name is Wang Yimin. I know that the imperial court summoned us. What did you bring for me?" A man with a large scar on the left side of his mouth came over to speak.
"Yes, Wang Yimin. We are the Winged Knights Express Delivery. We deliver things quickly. Currently, we are only delivering for Li Yi and Li Dongzhu. Come and get the package."
The battalion commander took out a list of names. This person was on it.
Someone from the Yulin Flying Cavalry dismounted from his horse and took a package from the back of another unridden horse.
A large package that needed to be hugged was carried to Wang Yimin.
"Wang Yimin, what did you bring? Everyone, look. You said that you want to sell your house. Let's discuss and gather the money to buy it. It's connected to the land."
An old man next to him said to Wang Yimin.
Wang Yimin put the package on the ground and untied the string on it.
The battalion commander also dismounted and stood at the side to introduce.
"This is wool knitted clothing. There are four sets. The children wear it too big. The farmers said that it's okay if it's a bit bigger, but they're afraid that it won't fit if it's too small. They knitted it needle by needle.
This is braised meat. It's about 30 catties. Our horses are exhausted. Fortunately, the weather is cold and the meat is salty, so it won't spoil.
That package is rock candy. Keep a piece in your mouth. I can guarantee that if you don't move much, you can definitely last a day.
The other two packages are pork floss. They are noodles fried with vegetables and oil. There's bean powder in the noodles. Eat a handful and you can last half a day at most.
There are also some painkillers. If you feel uncomfortable, take one. You are not allowed to drink.
Dongzhu said that you must reach Zhuangzi alive. Don't give up. If you're sick, as long as you're still breathing, Dongzhu will be able to save you. "
Hearing the battalion commander's words, the surrounding people all came forward to take a look.
"There's such a Dongzhu? Who's going when it's just decided? They sent the Imperial Guards cavalry to deliver things? "
"I thought Brother Yimin was going there to suffer. Looks like it's not the case. It's a big piece of meat."
"So rich. Sugar. You can tell the color of the noodles is good just by looking at it."
"Yimin, go, go. Go there and live a good life."
"Everyone, I don't want the house or the land. I also don't want the things at home. My family of five will keep some for the journey. I'll give the rest to you."
Wang Yimin made his decision. He knew that when he had a good life, the money was useless. It was better to give it to people who needed it more.
When the Winged Knights finished their tour, it was noon. A hundred military families gathered together.
Their choice was the same as Wang Yimin's. They gave everything and didn't want a single cent.
They didn't plan to spend the New Year in Zhe Chong residence before leaving. They set off immediately.
The battalion commander hesitated. He looked at his subordinates and went to discuss.
It was decided that everyone would leave together. The Winged Knights would spend the New Year on the road. The horses would be given to the adults and the children would be held in their arms. They would let the horses rest every 50 li.
The group set off on their return journey.
