The cargo ship sailed smoothly for a few days, and Ah Yao followed the dart masters to leave the waterway and change to land for a few more days, but I don't know if it was her illusion, it felt like she had taken a long detour......

Ah Yao thought well, they seemed to be both land and water, it was Bird's Nest that entrusted the dart bureau to do it, and when paying the deposit, Bird's Nest specially instructed the dart masters to take Ah Yao for a few more days. In fact, Nanxun to the capital to walk five or six days to arrive, choose to take the ox cart only three or four days, if you choose the best horse, fast horses and whips day and night, but also from the capital to Nanxun in one day - a few years ago Pei Shuo is such a messenger, within one day received the news of the amnesty of the world's household registration.

Bird's Nest is determined not to let A-Yao find her.

When the prosperous city was in sight, the Nanxun Dart Bureau completed their task, settled the accounts with Ah Yao and continued to set off for the next destination, Ah Yao walked into this strange city with her bags.

The market that catches your eyes, following the steps under your feet, is like a picture of life on the river during the Qingming Festival.

The road is wide, the ox carts come and go, and the two restaurants and groceries are loud to attract customers, and there are many more people here than in Nanxun, which is how far you have just entered the city gate. Ah Yao looked at it for a while, and walked straight to the center of the capital.

If you inquire a little, you can find a good inn near Dali Temple and Yamen, the price is slightly expensive, but it is better to be safe.

Ten days at the inn should be enough time for her to find a suitable house to live in, right?

Ah Yao washed her face and wiped her hands and feet, put away her baggage, put some broken silver and copper coins in the baggage, and some of the silver coins were exchanged for silver bracelets or inconspicuous solid silver hairpins to wear on her body, and the silver tickets and title deeds were also hidden.

"Xiao Er, let's have a green vegetable and a plate of dumplings. ”

"Okay. ”

The restaurants and inns in the capital are similar to Nanxun, and they all allow snack sellers to come in with bamboo baskets to sell to customers. As soon as Ah Yao sat down, someone came over to sell cucumbers and cold salad Ma Lantou, looking at her age, she was about the same as Ah Yao. "Guest, do you need a snack?"

Ah Yao glanced into her basket, and she didn't seem to have any appetite, "No thanks." ”

"I also have sour plum soup, if you can't eat anything in the bitter summer, you can have a bowl of sour plum soup to appetize. The girl said again.

Sour plum soup, Ah Yao was full of joy when she heard this name, Rao didn't want to buy it at first, and she was a little interested: "You bring it up first, I'll take a look." ”

The girl hurriedly called her younger brother, and the boy who was a head shorter than her also ran to Ayao with his bamboo basket, which was a sour plum soup packed in a bamboo tube, and when he opened the lid, he could smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

A-Yao, who often deals with food, knew when she smelled it that this sour plum soup was diluted with water, and it was estimated that it would not taste much better when you drank it.

"Two pennies in a tube, both thirst-quenching and appetizing, big sister, do you want it?"

Ah Yao swept over them, the hundred clothes on her brother's body were washed white and patched, and her sister's clothes were better than his, but they didn't fit, what the adults wore was for her to wear, and what she wore was for her brother. "Let's have one. She took out two pennies, and the sisters and brothers opened their eyes with a smile, "Wait, are you from the capital?"

She called out to them and put down the five pennies: "I want you to ask about something." ”

The two sisters and brothers left satisfied, A-Yao took a sip, there was no rock sugar when the sour plum soup was cooked, and it was diluted with water afterwards, and the overall taste was as light as water and sour, but seven cents to buy sour plum soup and news There is also a map of the capital, which is worth it.

The next day, A-Yao took her map to the store and began the long process of looking for a house and looking at the house.

The Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Princess Zhuang Xuan, who is over 30 years old, was a proton in the former dynasty when she was a child, watched the struggle of the palace concubines, witnessed the change of dynasty, and also followed her younger brother. When the country is stable, she proposes to use her merits for not marrying in this life, and move into her eldest princess's mansion to live a happy salted fish life, and she doesn't care about anything, everything is taken care of by the manager.

The chief steward reported everything one by one, and the eldest princess suddenly asked, "How do you arrange the girl who came with the token?"

"Back to the eldest princess, the slave maid thought that since she had sent her to the door herself, she should be taken care of under her nose. So she signed a long contract to work as a handyman in the lotus garden, and now her name is changed to coral. ”

"Have you found out where you came?"

"It's been found out, and from Nanxun's point of view, I want to overturn the case. The chief manager told the eldest princess about the cause and effect of Nanxun Zhouqing's poisoning and murder, and the eldest princess was fascinated by it, and a certain name in her ears entered her ears, she raised her eyebrows, "I have returned to Nanxun, and it is estimated that it will not take long to return to Beijing." These two girls are good, loyal nurses, as for the case...... Oh, how many years ago was the old millet, she had to have the ability, and the palace would not stop her. ”

The girl who took the token and now changed her name to Coral was none other than the bird's nest that A-Yao had left behind.

A few days ago, she came to Princess Zhuang Xuanchang's mansion and claimed to have come to return the token. The token was given to the Shangguan family by the eldest princess in the past, saying that one day she could exchange a wish with such a token, but this wish did not come in handy for a long time, and the bird's nest used the token to enter the eldest princess's mansion, and truthfully told her family the end, she came to seek the truth, hoping that the eldest princess could take it in.

At that time, the chief steward stepped forward with a bowl of medicine, saying that the eldest princess didn't believe her, and asked her if she dared to drink this bowl of poison?

Bird's nest did not hesitate to drink it all in one gulp, in exchange for the opportunity to stay in the eldest princess's mansion as a handyman, fortunately, she followed Mochizuki's side, and knew how to take care of flowers and plants, and saw the opportunity to change from a low-level handyman who had just entered the mansion to be bullied by others to a handyman who waited for flowers and plants, and life was finally better.

At the same time that the bird's nest lived a good life for herself, A-Yao also found a house, there is a small yard in front of the house to plant some vegetables and flowers, the area of the house is not very convenient to clean, so that A-Yao is most fond of the kitchen, a single room, there are several stoves, if the time is properly arranged and there are manpower, steaming, stewing, frying, frying and frying can be carried out at the same time, the monthly rent is eight guan money, what is the concept of eight guan money? The silver money for renting a house for middle and lower-level officials in the capital is about five guan money per month, and Ah Yao's rent is slightly higher than that of eight or nine sesame officials.

She now understands the pain that Mo Xingle revealed when she heard the money she gave, so piercing, Nanxun Yamen is really dark!

"It's all about safety, it's all about safety. As the saying goes, it is difficult to save a fire from a distant water, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and the nearby ones are the homes of officials with a little money in their hands, so make some food to see what kind of people her neighbors are, and whether they get along well or not.
