Chapter 392 Heading to Mushroom Village
"The horses' hooves clatter, the water of the Yellow River gurgles, we must work hard to take root, to sprout, and to let our dreams blossom into the most beautiful flowers..." The convoy left the village gate and headed east. Not to mention Xinxin and Niannian, Yiyi was also very curious, and she had never been to these places. Yiyi held Niannian in her arms and pressed against the car window. The mother and son looked at the slowly receding mountains and fields outside the window in the same expression. Yiyi hummed the war horse tune, and in between, the sounds of the little kids crying and the adults screaming made Xinxin desperately pull at her father's hand and lean towards the window.
"Hahaha... OK, OK, Xinxin, watch it too!" Ling Wuxin's father was delighted and laughed heartily. He held Xinxin and leaned against the window. The whole family huddled together to look at the scenery outside the window. Ling Wuxin felt that his efforts over the past year or so were worth it. If nothing else, he was very happy to see his wife and children huddled together to watch the scenery.
"Xinxin Nianxian, do you want to sit in the front with Third Uncle to enjoy the scenery?" This was the scene that Xiao Ba saw when he lifted the curtain of the front door of the carriage, and he asked hurriedly.
"No, no, the car is too windy!" Before Xinxin Nian Nian could answer, Yiyi had already refused. She was worried that if the wind was too strong, the child would get a headache or fever, which would be troublesome.
"Oh, okay, my lady, the Mushroom Village is not far away. We will get there after we climb over the hill in front." Xiao Ba also realized something was wrong and pointed to the hills in front and said that the Mushroom Village was just a few turns ahead.
"We'll be there so soon? I thought it was far away." Yiyi sat down with the child in her arms and stopped peeping at the window. She knew that she would be able to see the place if she was patient.
"It looks close, but it's quite a long way around the foot of the mountain. It will take another quarter of an hour by horse-drawn carriage." Ling Wuxin explained.
"Wow, that's quite a long time. Brother Xu, please come in and sit down. Nian Nian is too active and my legs are numb from kneeling down!" Yiyi was a little tired of taking care of the baby, so she called Xiaoba to come in and help.
The time spent with someone watching the baby passed quickly, and three quarters of an hour was the time of a class, and we arrived at the Mushroom Village. The majestic guards escorted the six-horse carriage to the entrance of the village and attracted the attention of the villagers.
"Village chief! Village chief, the distinguished guests have arrived!" The village children ran quickly into the village accompanied by their childish calls.
Yiyi and the others were also sitting in the carriage and heard it. When they looked forward, they could see the silhouette of the village kid running away. It was quite interesting. When they saw them coming, they didn't gather around to watch the fun, but ran to call for help. Was their convoy too big and scary?
"Go into the village slowly! Don't scare the horses!" Ling Wuxin said to the guards outside the carriage. After a while, the speed of the entire team slowly slowed down, and the horses stopped running fast and started walking slowly. The team slowly entered the village, gradually attracting the attention of the villagers. A few minutes later, a group of people came running towards them, and they ran over with a panting old man!
"Welcome our master! Pay your respects to the prince and princess!" The old man took the lead in shouting, and a group of people, including the crowd who had just stopped to pay attention, knelt down and saluted when they heard the words.
"No need to be polite! Stand up! Lead the way!" Ling Wuxin said loudly. Xinxinniannian calmed down, blinking their big black eyes, looking at their father showing off his power, oh no, showing off his majesty!
"Yes!" The village chief led the villagers in front and led the convoy slowly to the village square. This is the place where guests are entertained during the harvest festival. At this moment, rows of tables and chairs have been set up here. The row of houses closest to the village square has been requisitioned as kitchens, and now there are also smoke and fire, and people are cooking!
"Master, please stop the carriage in this open space immediately. You can move to my house to rest for a while. We can start the feast in a while." The village chief said happily while standing beside the carriage.
Seeing that more and more villagers gathered to watch the excitement, the guards held their positions. The members of the medical team in front got off the car first, bowed slightly to the village chief and explained their purpose.
"Okay, okay! Please come this way, the miracle doctor!" The village chief was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. It was such an honor for the miracle doctor team around the prince to come to their village for free consultation. He gave instructions while asking people to set up the stage for the miracle doctor. There was still some time before the banquet started, so they could organize the free old and young to come for consultation first. After all, except for the kitchen cooking, all other work had been done.
Beibei and Anyi also got off the carriage first. After getting off the carriage, they approached Yiyi's carriage and waited. Xiaoba also got off the carriage first. He stood on the other side, and formed a protective posture with Anyi on the left and right. The curtain was lifted, and Ling Wuxin and Yiyi each held a baby and got off the carriage one after the other.
"Greetings, my lord!" Now all the men, women, old and young in the village appeared and paid their respects to the prince and princess together!
"No need to formality! Please stand up quickly!" Ling Wuxin and Yiyi said at the same time, and raised their hands at the same time to signal everyone to stand up.
"One cart of cloth, one cart of medicinal herbs, and one thousand taels of silver." The guards unloaded a cart of cloth, a cart of medicinal herbs, and two boxes of silver ingots from the carriage behind. They sang a ceremony while unloading the goods! At the same time, they handed them over to the villagers brought by the village chief, who took them back to the warehouse.
"Thank you for the reward, master!" The village chief led the villagers in shouting excitedly. The master was so generous. He sent pigs and grain in the morning, and now there are so many things. It was beyond their expectations. Everyone couldn't help but kneel down to express their gratitude!
“No need to be polite! I have seen and remembered the efforts of Mushroom Village over the past year. You may also want to take a look at the differences between your own homes and the past. This is the result of everyone’s unity, enterprising spirit and hard work. I hope everyone will continue to keep their original aspirations and work hard to improve the environment and life! Next year will be even better!” Ling Wuxin stood in front of the villagers with Xinxin in his arms and gave an instant speech to encourage them!
"Good! Good! Good!" A series of cheers came from the sky above the small village! Then there were the sounds of laughter and joy as guests were welcomed in.
"Princess, you are finally here. We have been waiting for many days. This is our little master, right?" Gu Fenfang led a group of women to greet her excitedly.
"Hello, sisters! I've been looking forward to coming here too! This is my son Nian Nian, and that is my daughter Xin Xin." Yiyi was also very happy, and she introduced her children to everyone.
"Very good! The princess is so lucky to have both a son and a daughter!"
"Princess, please come this way. The village chief said to take you to his home so you can rest first!"
"No, no, I still want to take a good look at where everyone lives and the scenery of the Mushroom Village!"
"Okay, but you have to go inside and have some tea before you watch!"
The villagers of Mushroom Village were very welcoming. They welcomed all the guests to the village chief's home, and then they went back to work in a tactful manner so as not to disturb their master's rest.
"Master, please have some tea." Gu Fenfang led her twelve-year-old daughter to serve tea to Ling Wuxin and Yiyi who had just entered the room and sat down.
"Sister Gu, you're so polite. This is your daughter, right? What a pretty girl, she looks just like you. She will definitely be a great beauty in the future!" Yiyi pushed Nian Nian into the arms of Xiao Ba beside her, stood up, held the little girl's hand and started praising her profusely, making the little girl lower her head in shyness.
"Princess, you are too kind. I, Qiaomei, have never seen the world and I can't stand your praise!" Gu Fenfang smiled broadly but kept being modest.
"Okay, you take Qiaomei to continue serving tea to the guests. There are so many people here!" said a middle-aged man in his forties. The man's name was Yang Guodong. He was the eldest son of the old village chief and Gu Fenfang's husband. He and his father were accompanying the prince.
"Doctor Beibei, please have some tea. I heard that you brought a medical team with you. Thank you so much!" Gu Fenfang brought her daughter to Beibei's table.
"Sister Gu, you've worked hard and thank you for your hospitality. I was just about to say that we'll invite all the young and old in the village to come over for the consultation. I think they should be ready by now." The medical team members did not follow into the village chief's house. They stayed in the square in front of the village.
"Great, it just so happens that everyone is here today!" Gu Fenfang responded happily, and served tea to all the guests at the table before leading her children and Qiaomei to leave.
The guards did not need them to entertain them because they were already on duty. Ten of them were left to guard the village chief's house, and the remaining forty were scattered in and out of the village. Their mission was to ensure the safety of their master!
