Chapter 168: The Matter of Silver
When the sun was in the west, the convoy of show girls from Yuzhou stopped. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Miss, we're a carriage, it's really a rush to die if we go so slowly like this!"
After the initial excitement passed, Ah Hua rubbed her sore back, looked at the regular rules and helped the eldest lady to get out of the car, and muttered and complained.
Bai Chenghuan didn't care what Ah Hua muttered, and stood by the car and looked back.
Sent to follow her all the way to the car was originally under Bai Bingxiong's entourage, named Fan Cheng, after hearing Ah Hua's words, he also looked at the cars that kept coming behind him, and touched the long mane of the jujube red horse that was driving.
"Pity you, Da Zao, you can travel thousands of miles a day, but you have to follow those mules and donkeys for hours. ”
In fact, if you want him to say, this is the best way to pull a cart by a mule, with good endurance and docileness, why waste such a good horse, but the old man said that the eldest lady can ride a horse, bring a good horse, and it can be used at a critical moment.
It is said that going to the capital is to enter the tiger's den in Longtan, what danger can there be in this draft? It is nothing more than that if you can't be selected, it can be more dangerous than them going into battle to kill the enemy?
Bai Chenghuan turned his head and happened to see this little disdain on Fan Cheng's face, and she also heard his muttering before.
She wasn't annoyed, she just smiled and explained: "Fan Changsui doesn't have to feel pity, Maxima naturally has the benefits of Maxima, at least, when others look at this horse, they will also give us a little thin noodles, right?"
Fan Cheng was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes, and sure enough, as soon as those mule carts and donkey carts came over, there were post guards at the post station who hurriedly got out of the car and drove the car away, but no one came to urge his own car to stop here.
Fan Cheng's face suddenly felt a little ashamed: "What the eldest lady said is that it was a small negligence." ”
"It's okay, you go and set up our carriages and horses first. ”
The good horses of Daqi are expensive, either they are powerful and rich families, or they are military generals with some real power, otherwise like this good Maxima, not everyone can use it.
Although Bai Bingxiong's official position is low, he can be on horses, and it is somewhat convenient because of the perennial suppression of bandits.
After such a long group of people looked carefully, there were few people driving the carriage.
Bai Chenghuan smiled in the afterglow of the sunset, yes, there are not so many carriages on the streets of the capital, how many good horses can there be in the Great Qi Dynasty, which is becoming more and more important in literature and light on military force?
The so-called peaceful and prosperous era should have been strong and strong, but the Great Qi was far from enough.
Because of the fear of rebellion by the vassal king and the rebellion of the people, the control of swords, soldiers and horses is extremely strict, but once the war starts, where is the combat power of Daqi?
The Hu people in the northwest are men, women, and children, all of whom are soldiers, and they must take the war seriously...... Hu Ren is a vicious wolf who has been hungry for many years, and Daqi is a sheep that has been raised!
Brother, He Qi...... Are these hot-blooded men in Daqi alive or dead?
The western sky was gone, and the red clouds of fire had burned half of the sky, and when the last splendor of the day had passed, it would be dark.
"Miss, are you homesick, the slave maid will help you into the post station to rest first?" Although she was also bumped and her back hurt, Shao Hui still served Bai Chenghuan dutifully.
Bai Chenghuan retracted his gaze, nodded, and didn't say anything.
Bai Huanniang's body is really talented, even after driving for so long, she doesn't feel so tired.
The lobby of the post station is noisy, and the show girls who can have family resources to go to Beijing are mostly pampered at home, although the official road is smooth, but in the end it is bumpy all the way, and it has long been unbearable.
The postmen who have never received such a person together in the past are also angry, just because these are all show girls in Beijing, maybe there will be so many flying people in the future, it is not easy to offend, although it is polite, the action of registration arrangement is much slower.
A few show girls who really couldn't hold it complained crying, and in the midst of the commotion, they made a "snap" and slapped the bag of silver on the long table of the post station.
"This bag of silver belongs to you, quickly arrange a clean room for our young lady!"
A man who looked like a steward said imposingly.
This place is still in the territory of Yuzhou, it is a small place called Songling, where have these postmen seen such a heroic master on weekdays, suddenly a pair of eyes shine a little brighter than the silver in the purse, and took the silver with a smile, and immediately arranged the room to come out.
A woman in the crowd, surrounded by several maids, smiled arrogantly, turned around and went away surrounded by maids.
The silver opened the way, and it was really convenient, and suddenly several families with enough silver came forward to stuff the hard-working silver for those post guards, and the rest of those who didn't have so much silver could only stare dryly, and the lobby was suddenly even more chaotic.
Ah Hua saw that the crowd was surging, and hurriedly moved to the corner with Shaohui to protect her young lady, and stomped her feet angrily: "Isn't this a mess, since you are so rich and powerful, and there is so much silver, why do you want to squeeze the post station with us and go to the inn to live!"
Angry is angry, but Ah Hua is also a little moved: "Miss, why don't I go and stuff some silver for them and grab a room for you?"
"The woman just now was just rich, if she was really powerful, she should be taken to Beijing by her family alone, and follow the government's convoy, just to keep her safe...... Ah Hua doesn't have to worry, our silver was given early in the morning, otherwise the road is still long, and there are still many post stations, even if you have the silver, you haven't arrived in the capital yet, do you have to spend it like this?"
Bai Chenghuan didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and Ah Hua had to extinguish this thought.
Shao Hui hasn't said anything, the eldest lady has always had an idea, she learned the most from the eldest lady's hands, what she learned the most is not much, this Ah Hua, you must beat it well when you find time.
Bai Chenghuan only looked at the crowded scene of commotion, and there was a self-deprecating smile on his lips.
Yinzi, when did Xu Chenghuan care about such a thing?
But now she is Bai Chenghuan, every penny she brought to the capital is the Li family's careful effort, she will not waste it in vain for the sake of peace for a few more moments.
It's just something like silver, and she really has to think about it.
Sure enough, before leaving, the silver that Bai Bingxiong stuffed to the official still worked, and after a while, Fan Chengcheng came in happily and invited Bai Chenghuan to go to the small courtyard behind the post station: "Miss, a clean courtyard has been arranged, and the small one has asked you for three rooms in the main house with things and three rooms, enough for you and the two girls to live with Shaohui and Ah Hua, and the little one will watch our carriages and horses at night, so go to the stable, there is also a place to live, and make up for a night." ”
"Hard work Fan Chang followed!" At this time, Bai Chenghuan was not hypocritical, nodded and was about to step out, but after thinking about it, he stood up again.
"Shao Hui, you go and invite the third and fourth young ladies to come over and let them stay with us. ”
