There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 123 Yu Ying Leaves

Taking advantage of the lull in Liang Yuying's conversation with Gu Ziying and Princess Changning, Li Shuchen...

She called a few men to carry the mahogany box she had prepared the night before to the departing troops.

With a word from the servant

"Let's set off!"

Liang Yuying flipped over and mounted the red figure, saying sadly...

"I'm leaving"

Gu Ziying and Princess Changning wiped their eyes with silk handkerchiefs as they waved goodbye to Liang Yuying.

Li Shuchen also mounted Wanbai and said, "Yuying, I'll take you to the city gate."

The two rode side by side, the atmosphere quiet. Li Shuchen didn't know what to say, nor did Liang Yuying.

Li Shuchen looked at Liang Yuying beside him, secretly annoyed. He had so much to say, but the words just wouldn't come out.

It's all stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down, incredibly bitter and uncomfortable.

Liang Yuying noticed that Li Shuchen kept turning his head in her direction, as if he had something to say to her.

But it just wouldn't come, which was very frustrating.

The procession moved forward at a leisurely pace, with many ordinary people stuffing things onto the carriages along the way.

Cabbage, radish, free-range eggs

Live chickens, live fish, live white geese

While cutting off the enemy lines, they shouted, "You must return safely!"

"You must all return safely!"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye we've arrived at the city gate.

Finally, Liang Yuying spoke first: "Shu Chen, let's go back."

Li Shuchen then realized they had reached the city gate, and said in a slightly tearful voice, "While I was gone, take good care of yourself. I've worked so hard to fatten you up a bit, so don't lose weight."

If you come back and I find you've lost weight, I'll punish you by making you do my laundry and cook for me for a year, and fly around with me every day using your light-footed skills.

Liang Yuying agreed with a wry smile.

"it is good"

After saying that, he gave Li Shuchen a deep look, then left without looking back, riding his red horse at breakneck speed.

Li Shuchen shouted at the city gate, "Yuying, you must come back safely!"

After shouting, he whispered again, "You must come back safely."

He waited at the city gate until the departing troops were out of sight before reluctantly riding Wanbai back home.

Li Wanbai remained silent, lowering his horse's head, and led Li Shuchen back to the inn.

Li Shuchen mechanically secured Wanbai, then unconsciously walked into the Three Treasures Hall. Suddenly feeling a chill, he spoke.

"Grape, close the window, it's a bit cold."

Grape looked out the window upon hearing this; the sun was shining brightly, its rays radiating outwards.

The ice cream vendor downstairs is still calling out his wares.

But they still obediently closed all the doors and windows.

"Miss, why don't you take a nap if you're tired?"

"it is good"

Li Shuchen lay down on the bed without even taking off her clothes.

Grape didn't dare touch her, and could only gently fan her.

I do not know how long it has been

Li Shuchen opened his eyes and woke up, asking without thinking...

Where is Yuying?

"The general has gone to war."

After answering, Grape helped Li Shuchen up.

Li Shuchen was bewildered. Yes, she had gone to lead troops into battle.

She is no longer Miss Liang, but a powerful general.

She has her responsibilities

Li Shuchen washed her face to clear her head.

She also has her own responsibilities.

It's been a long time since I visited the orchard. I wonder how the fruit trees are doing, and whether they're bearing a lot of fruit.

However, it's a bit late today, so I'll go tomorrow morning.

[Auspicious System: "Give me back my silver"] (Suddenly appears)

Li Shuchen thought to himself, "Okay, you stingy little thing, how could I skimp on you?"

After changing his clothes, he took the grapes and went to the Korean fruit shop.

Just stepped into the fruit shop

Manager Liu: "Miss is here."

Li Shuchen: "Hmm, how's business lately?"

Shopkeeper Liu: "There has been a slight decline, but it's still much better than other fruit shops."

Li Shuchen nodded; she understood. An economic downturn meant decreased purchasing power.

"Give me one thousand taels of silver."

Manager Liu: "Yes, miss."

Li Shuchen took the silver, first returning six hundred taels to Xiao Jizi, and planned to keep the rest for the inn.

On the way back, I bought some grain and fodder for Li Wanbai.

Li Shuchen handed over the remaining three hundred-odd cartloads of silver to Manager Xu.

He carried the provisions to the backyard of the inn.

Spread the grain and fodder all over Li Wanbai's feeding trough

Li Wanbai didn't even glance at him, her head bowed, seemingly lost in thought.

Li Shuchen comforted her, "Wanbai, are you in a bad mood? It's okay, Hongying will be back in a while, and then you can play together again."

Li Wanbai looked up and glanced at Li Shuchen.

Her eyes were full of questions. Really?

Li Shuchen nodded solemnly and said, "I really will come back, believe me."

Li Wanbai then went to eat the rations.

Li Shuchen watched Li Wanbai finish her meal before turning and going upstairs.

The next morning, Li Shuchen got up very early again because he was going to the orchard.

This time, Wanbai was surprisingly easy to talk to and didn't cause any trouble.

If you lead it, it will obediently follow.

Li Shuchen drove the carriage to the orchard.

Upon entering, I immediately saw Seventh Sister, and I was puzzled.

Logically, if Yu Ying went to war, her Mulan Army should have taken her with her. So why is Qi Niang still appearing in Guozhuang?

Li Shuchen quickly stepped forward and asked, "Seventh Sister, why didn't Yuying bring you?"

Seventh Sister: "Miss Li, Master Ying said that since she promised to look after the fruit orchard, she must keep her word. So she left twenty of us girls here to watch over it."

Li Shuchen nodded; Yu Ying still treated her so well.

Li Shuchen: "Don't worry, Seventh Sister. Since you're helping me manage the fruit orchard, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Seventh Sister smiled and said, "What could I possibly worry about with Miss Li here?"

Uncle Cao: "Miss Li is here."

Li Shuchen: "Hmm, let's see how long the fruits and vegetables can last."

Uncle Cao: "The tangerines and sweet pears can still bear fruit, but the watermelons, cantaloupes, and grapes, at most, won't be able to last another half month."

Li Shuchen: "I'm thinking of planting some different fruit trees. I wonder if Uncle Cao could give me some suggestions?"

Uncle Cao: "Autumn is almost here, and the persimmon, apple, and jujube trees will soon be bearing fruit. If Miss Li can get some tree stumps, they might be able to catch up with the harvest."

Li Shuchen nodded. Even without fruit tree stumps, she wasn't worried. With a little bit of growth sapling solution, even saplings could bear fruit that same year.

"I hope Uncle Cao will put in a lot of effort then."

Uncle Cao: "That's for sure."

Li Shuchen returned to the inn from the orchard, intending to start buying some fruit trees and saplings.

Without a moment's rest, carrying grapes, they headed straight to the East Market.

Li Shuchen and grapes; they looked around twice, but there were no grape seedlings for sale.

Vegetable seeds are available.

Grape: "Miss, there aren't even any saplings, let alone fruit trees. Are we too late today?"

Li Shuchen nodded: "Possibly, but since we're already here, we might as well buy some vegetable seeds to take home."

Grape: "Mmm"

Li Shuchen bought potato, cilantro, sweet potato, taro, and cucumber seeds from a vendor. The vegetable garden was almost out of seeds, and these seeds were suitable for growing now, so he planted them in the garden.

Once it's ripe, we'll use it at the inn.

After buying the items, I went home, remembering I needed to get up early the next day, and went to bed as soon as it got dark.

I woke up at 5 a.m. the next day, when it was just getting light.

When Li Shuchen arrived at the East Market with the grapes, it was just dawn.

She carefully examined each stall, and finally found the grapes.

"Hey, miss, there are some saplings over there."

Li Shuchen saw it too: "Let's go take a look."
