Chapter 5: On the Road Alone
"The matter of Tianji Star has long been rumored in the world, I heard that the emperors of the Three Kingdoms are looking for Tianji Star, now it's okay, Tianji Star is dead, there is no need to rush to find it. ”
"How can you be sure that the fifth princess is the Heavenly Machine Star?"
I heard that the emperor was furious and imprisoned the third princess who pushed the fifth princess into the water and the concubine De Niangniang into the cold palace. The second prince may also lose power because of this. ”
"yes...... This matter will also affect the second prince, and the two princes will be faction—"
"Shhh ”
The two asked the shopkeeper for two rooms, and went upstairs without eating, and the farther and farther they went, the conversation between the two could not be heard.
Chi Xiaoman thought about their conversation, and the two princes were ...... It seems that not everyone in the court supports the prince's brother, but now because of his death, he framed Xuanyuan Biyue, and indirectly helped the prince's brother.
"I'm full, I'll go back to the room first, you two use it slowly. She took a cup of tea, got rid of the greasy taste in her mouth, and stood up.
Wei Chimu glanced at her and said, "Will you stay in Guan County tomorrow?"
"Maybe. Chi Xiaoman gave an ambiguous answer, in fact, she had already planned to leave early in the morning, and she left alone.
Wei Chimu smiled bitterly, understanding that this was her refusal to go with her, and he didn't want to be bored anymore, so he didn't ask any more.
Before Chi Xiaoman went upstairs, he instructed Xiao Er to prepare hot water for her. She wanted to take a good bath, she didn't have time to freshen up after jumping off Xiaoxiang Lake and going ashore today, so she hurriedly left the palace after changing into a eunuch suit, her hair and body were wet and sticky along the way, and her hair was too late to comb, if it weren't for the eunuchs of the Shengxing Dynasty to wear soft hats, she was afraid that she would have been discovered before she left the palace.
When I changed my clothes, I removed the hair ornaments and hairpins on my head, and I found that my hair was still a little wet, and I wanted to bathe first, but I was afraid of missing the meal, but fortunately, the man's hairstyle was simple, and after a slight wipe, the upper coil was tied up, and the hair was clean or dirty.
After freshening up in the room, it has been a month and a half since he came to this era, lying on the wooden bed that he is gradually getting used to, and Chi Xiaoman, who has been tired for a day, soon fell asleep.
"Little Lotus...... What time is it?" Chi Xiaoman opened her eyes slightly, it was already dawn outside the window, and she subconsciously opened her mouth to ask. I didn't hear an answer for a while, and then I remembered that I was alone now.
After a month and a half of princess life, every day with Xiaolian's service, Xiaolian will always come in with washing water at dawn, waiting for her to get up, if she gets up late, Xiaolian will only wait quietly outside, and when she wakes up, then take the water out and replace it with warm water to wash her face.
She has become accustomed to Xiaolian's storage zài. Habit...... What a terrible thing......
I don't know if Xiaolian is willing to follow her in the future, but now she must not let the prince's brother send Xiaolian out of the palace to bring her to her, otherwise if someone finds Xiaolian and finds herself, then she will return to the original point, and it will also affect the prince's brother and Jintang's brother.
Fortunately, in the past month and a half, he has learned how to wear these complicated clothes of ancient times, and he will comb his simple hairstyle by himself.
The copper basin on the shelf has the water that the shopkeeper sent last night, she washed her face indiscriminately, quickly took care of herself, and still put on a men's robe, except that the chest is more uncomfortable, it is still relatively light to wear men's clothes.
After counting the silver tickets on his body, Chi Xiaoman tiptoed open the door and looked out. It was still early, and the porch was quiet, and the doors of the two rooms next to it were closed, and there was no sound inside. Looking further into the lobby, there are only a few guests having breakfast, and there is no familiar figure.
Hee-hee...... Yu Chimu, the eldest brother of the monk, is still sleeping. She threw the burden off her shoulders and went downstairs with confidence.
"Little boy, do you have breakfast?" The second child in the lobby greeted him, and he recognized it as the little father-in-law yesterday, but now he is not wearing a eunuch uniform, and he probably doesn't want to reveal his identity, so he called the little boy smoothly.
"No, do you know where there is a money bank around here?" She planned to deposit the silver ticket in the money bank first, and just bring some loose silver with her, because she had too much money on her body, and she wanted to cry without tears if she was robbed.
"Just turn left on this street, is Childe leaving? Not with the other two Childe?" Xiao Er asked suspiciously, looking at the burden on her shoulders. Didn't this father-in-law follow his master out of the palace? Why did he leave first now?
"Please tell them the second brother, just say I'll go first, you can settle the house with them." Chi Xiaoman ignored the puzzled eyes of the shopkeeper, she was going to leave, it wasn't that she was stingy and refused to pay for the house, she could save money until she found a safe way to make a living or a long-term meal ticket, and I believe that Wei Chimu would not care about this money with her.
Leaving the Dongfeng Inn, as the shopkeeper said, after turning left, he saw a money bank, and Shun Lì deposited the silver ticket, leaving only fifty taels of silver and a few copper coins on his body, and asked the people of the money village where to hire a carriage, and went to hire a carriage.
There are new and old carriages, and there are old and young coachmen, and Chi Xiaoman wanted to choose a young and strong one, so that he felt more secure on the road. But suddenly he saw an old man among the coachmen looking at him expectantly, his clothes were worn but clean, and the carriage was old but strong, and he walked towards the old man on impulse.
"Can Huancheng County go?" Huancheng County was her temporary destination, because Huancheng County was the second largest city in the Shengxing Dynasty, but it was at least half a month's distance from Guan County.
"Go, go. The old man looked grateful and excited.
"It will take half a month to go here, and it will take a month to go back and forth, can your family agree?" she was very suspicious, and she was afraid that the old man would not be able to endure the long journey, although she was not in a hurry, but she did not want to waste time in the middle of the stay.
My son broke his leg a few days ago and was dismissed, and his daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and the rice in the pot at home is about to bottom...... the old man said with a sneering face.
Chi Xiaoman saw that he didn't look like a lie, so he said, "Okay, how much silver will you have for a trip to Huancheng County?"
"Five taels of silver, is it okay?" asked the old man timidly.
Before leaving the palace, she asked Liu Jintang about the living standards of the people, and ordinary people earn a few taels of silver a month at most, unless they are in business, they can make more money.
Therefore, in her opinion, the old man's fee is not only reasonable, but also a little less, after all, this back and forth does not say that it will take a month, this is still twelve hours a day can not go home, to put it on hold in the twenty-first century, overtime pay does not know how much to pay.
"I'll give you ten taels, I'll give you five taels first, and the other five taels will be given to Huancheng County. Go on the road now, go to your house first, and you will bring back the five taels of silver to your family first. "His family has no rice to cook, and it will definitely not be possible to ask his family to wait for a month.
"Thank you, little boy, thank you, little boy!" the old man knelt down to thank him with gratitude.
Chi Xiaoman hurriedly helped him. She was also happy to have done a good deed.
