Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 260: Food in Hand, No Panic in Exile 3

Chu Yuan stepped forward and bowed politely: "I am Chu Yuan, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet you, Lord Shen."

"Get up, I have an urgent trip, are you ready?"

"Your Excellency, I am ready and can set off at any time."

"Okay, then wait at the gate at 1:00 pm tomorrow and follow my carriage into the capital."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen."

After finishing the business, Shen Heyan took his people away and did not accept Chu Xiaoran's invitation to stay for dinner.

It was not until he left the courtyard that Chu Yuan came to his senses. Is this someone from the Dali Temple?

This man has been promoted to the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple at such a young age. It can be said that he has a bright future. He must be the son of some powerful family in Beijing.

But Chu Yuan couldn't understand why such a person of noble birth would agree to the request of a small Hanlin and take her, a burden, with him on his way back to Beijing?

Chu Xiaoran was also puzzled by this matter. Logically speaking, his son-in-law should not have the opportunity to establish a relationship with such a high-ranking official, but what this person was holding in his hand was indeed a token of his daughter.

Just like this, a night passed, and Chu Yuan ordered her servants to load all the things they needed to take onto the carriage. This time, she only brought Chuntao and Zhuzi with her to the capital, so apart from her original four large boxes, there was not much left.

After waiting in the carriage for about half a cup of tea, I saw Shen Heyan's convoy coming towards this direction.

Chu Yuan ordered Zhuzi to drive behind him, and thus began the journey to Beijing.

It can be felt that Lord Shen is really in a hurry to travel.

Throughout the whole day, Chu Yuan had been sitting in the carriage, except for stopping at noon to eat some dry food. Who could stand this? She felt like she was about to be shaken apart.

So after arriving at the resting inn, Chu Yuan took the initiative to find Shen Heyan and said, "I greet Lord Shen."

"What's the matter?"

"I noticed that there are many idle horses in Lord Shen's team. Could you give me one?"

Shen Heyan was a little surprised: "You want to ride a horse?"

"Yes, it's too boring to stay in the car all day, I think it would be better to ride a horse."

It was just a horse, Shen Heyan had no reason to be stingy: "Okay, go find my men tomorrow to get one."

Chu Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Shen. I will take my leave now."

After borrowing the horse, she returned to her room in a relaxed mood: "Chun Tao, prepare a set of thick clothes for me tomorrow, and I won't take the carriage."

It was cold in Bingzhou, so when Chu Yuan set out, her grandmother made her a thick hat out of rabbit skin and a deerskin cloak, which came in handy at this time.

So the next day, a girl wearing a plush hat and a fur cloak appeared in the caravan, riding a big black horse in the middle of the team.

Chu Yuan breathed in the fresh air and looked at the blue sky in the distance. He felt that this was much better than sitting in the carriage.

It's just that the weather has been too cold recently. The howling wind makes my nose a little cold. When I stop to rest later, I must cook a pot of hot mutton soup.

At this time, Shen Heyan in front was also observing the little girl who joined halfway with his peripheral vision. He didn't know Lu Zhan at first, but the person who took this errand was his father's student. He was unable to go because of a sudden illness, so he followed his father's orders to make this trip.

He originally thought that the person he was going to bring back was a delicate woman, and he was a little worried that there would be a lot of trouble along the way, but now it seems that he was overthinking.

What kind of young lady would wear a fur coat and ride a horse outside in such cold weather?

But this furry clothes looks pretty good on her, especially the circle of white fur at the collar, which makes her little face look rosy and she looks in great spirits.

Chu Yuan felt a gaze lingering on him, so he looked in that direction and saw Shen Heyan's angular jawline and his strong and powerful hands holding the reins.

At the same time, I also noticed his ears that were red from the cold, and the redness on his knuckles due to the cold.

After careful consideration, he found some fine leather from the box and asked Chuntao, who was sitting in the carriage, to make a pair of gloves and a hat for them.

Shen Heyan was from the Dali Temple, and his uncle's family was imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison after their property was searched. If he could get along well with this adult, perhaps he could ask him for some leniency so that they would suffer less in prison.

Neither the gloves nor the hat were complicated items. All she had to do was cut the leather according to the pattern and sew them together, so Chuntao finished them in less than a morning.

It was exactly noon, Shen Heyan ordered everyone to rest on the spot, and also ordered his subordinates to boil a few pots of hot water to distribute to everyone to warm them up.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan also set up the small pot she brought with her, cut some frozen mutton into it, and added her secret seasoning. After a while, the aroma of the mutton soup reached everyone's nose.

Everyone around was sniffing hard, and even Shen Heyan looked over here twice.

So Chu Yuan called Zhuzi and asked him to cut two pots of mutton. He also prepared a bowl of sauce and walked towards where Shen Heyan was.

"Greetings, Lord Shen. I brought some mutton from Bingzhou. If you don't mind, I can cook a pot of mutton soup for you brothers to share."

After hearing this, the people around Shen Heyan became eager to make a move. They stretched their necks to look at Zhuzi's hand, and the meaning conveyed in their eyes was obvious.

Seeing this, he held his forehead with his hand. He didn't expect that the people he brought out this time were so useless. They were distracted by just a pot of soup.

However, the mutton soup did smell delicious. Moreover, if he refused, the girl would probably feel embarrassed. Shen Heyan could only signal his men to take it. "On behalf of my brothers, I would like to thank Miss Chu for her kindness."

Chu Yuan signaled Zhuzi to pass the mutton to a soldier who stretched out his hand beside him, and explained the cooking method to them.

In fact, it is not difficult. Just add her secret sauce, stir-fry the mutton, add water and stew it.

Then she took out the hat and gloves she had prepared: "Master Shen, these are the hat and gloves I asked my maid to make. Bingzhou has a strong wind, so I give them to you to keep warm."

Shen Heyan didn't expect that she had prepared something to keep him warm. It looked similar to the style she used, but was it really suitable for him to wear such a furry thing?

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Chu, but I don't feel cold, so it's not necessary."

Chu Yuan's eyes moved slightly downward and fixed on his hands which were red from the cold due to long hours of riding. The meaning expressed in that look made Shen Heyan feel a little embarrassed, as if he had been caught lying with his eyes open.

"Master Shen, please accept it. Just consider it as a thank you gift for lending me the horse."

Since she said so, Shen Heyan was too embarrassed to refuse: "Well, if you need any help along the way, just come to me."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen."
