Chapter 286: The Man Who Sets the Horse

On the twentieth day of the second lunar month, the group bid farewell to their relatives and began to embark on the road south to Kyoto. =music=wen=

Traveling many times, Mo Xiaohe has no expectations for a long trip, she is pregnant, cold, heat, and only in her early three months of pregnancy, people have become extremely squeamish, she can hardly imagine how to survive with a ball before giving birth.

Mo Daya and Li Xiu are different, both of them are traveling for the first time, with the same mood, chattering on the road, looking out all the way through the light yarn of the car curtain, communicating with each other from time to time, the price of Fulaibuzhuang is fair, the tofu flower on the street corner in front tastes good, the owner of the dim sum shop known as a century-old brand, is a handsome scholar, always likes to have a face......

Now the town has long since ceased to be prosperous, the streets are deserted, and the people who have a little bit of a foundation are like them, hiring a carriage and taking their families south, and they follow the convoy majestically and unobtrusively.

Mo Xiaohe hated the dazzling and scorching light, she was in the carriage, wearing a veil and a layer of straw mats on the mat, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep in the carriage, and when she woke up, it was already noon. When she opened her eyes, her carriage was empty, her cousin Li Xiu and her cousin Mo Daya were nowhere to be found, and the carriage seemed to have stopped.

Gu Zheng heard movement in the car, opened the small window in front of him, and brought in a plate of mulberries, small purple and black grains, which seemed to be ripe, with a little water droplets on them.

Mo Xiaohe had an appetite, put one in her mouth, the sweet and sour taste, paused, she asked, "It's noon, husband, aren't we leaving?" ”

If they were in a hurry, they had to prepare for the day, with a maximum of three quarters of an hour's break at noon, and they were now parked in the tea shed on the official road, and there were a few families around them to stop and rest.

"I'll leave in half an hour."

Gu Zheng wiped the sweat droplets on his forehead with the cloth towel on his shoulder, he smelled of sweat, and there was no place to wash around, he was afraid that his wife would not like it, so he didn't go in outside, just now he sat under the tree next to him for a while, and saw the vendor selling mulberries and green apricots, so he bought a small basket, and the rest were divided into two pieces.

Mo Xiaohe nodded, the carriage had a small bathroom, which contained two buckets of water, and a small window was opened at the top of the toilet for ventilation, and the sunlight shone in the water, and it was still hot to the touch.

She washed her face with water, and when she was in good spirits, she put on a cloth towel again, wiped her husband's face and neck, and looked at the sweat stains on Gu Zheng's coarse linen clothes, she sighed secretly, if it wasn't for the carriage being too small and inconvenient along the way, she would have wanted to spend money to hire a coachman to follow.

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhang brought cakes and meat sauce, the more south the hotter, the general food, put a day on a swishing smell, can not be carried, can not find a small restaurant along the way, can only make some simple porridge and noodles.

Mo Xiaohe opened the food box, used a mille-feuille oil cake, rolled shredded carrots, shredded cucumbers and an omelette, and dug a big spoonful of meat sauce on the vegetable egg to flatten it to make a large burrito, wrapped it in oiled paper on the outside, and poured a big bowl of herbal tea, she greeted Gu Zheng, "Husband, hurry up and get in the car to eat." ”

The rest of the people were in the carriage, all with food, Mo Daya and Xu Tietou were in one place, although they did not officially set up the wine, the two of them acquiesced in the relationship between husband and wife in a low-key manner, just now she looked out, and there were few people, and they were probably resting in their respective carriages.

Gu Zheng was stunned, he wanted to refuse, he suddenly remembered what his wife said, she also felt sorry for him, after he got into the car, he took off his coat, went to the bathroom and washed the sweat stains on his body again, and then sat down on the car bench.

"I slept all morning, and I was in good spirits, just in time for the move."

On the roof of the carriage, a fan was installed, and the carriage ran with the wind, and the windows on both sides were one, and the fan rotated by itself. Mo Xiaohe stood up, moved his legs, and then leaned on Gu Zheng, eating mulberries while playing a fan for him.

"At this rate, we won't be able to enter Jincheng tonight, and we will have to wait until the beginning of tomorrow at the earliest."

If they don't stop, speed up their journey, and tonight before the city gates are closed, they can go into the city and spend the night at an inn, but now they can't.

On the itinerary, she has always had no opinions, and listened to her husband's arrangement, so she didn't take it to heart, and waited for the afternoon departure time again and again, and postponed again and again, she saw Li Xiu and Mo Daya with dishes on their faces, and finally understood the reason. The two of them were almost in the same position, lying on the stool, there was a smell of medicine in the carriage, and the window did not disperse, Li Xiu's voice was similar to that of a mosquito, "Xiaohe, I am sick in the carriage, and the motion sickness medicine I brought doesn't work at all." ”

She blinked and wanted to cry, she shouldn't have had too much expectation for travel in the first place, did she die before she got out of school?

It's been a long road, and she's just come to a beginning, and she's not reconciled! Dizzy and dizzy, her stomach turned upside down, her husband Lin Xiucai went to the carriage to take care of her, Li Xiu covered her face, she vomited on him again, and brought a total of three sets of clothes, she vomited again, Lin Xiucai could only be naked.

What to do, she finally improved her favorability, and she was completely defeated, and her husband was kind to her, careful and considerate, Li Xiu felt that she had married a good person with responsibility.

Mo Xiaohe didn't know her cousin's mental activities, but she saw her face change back and forth, thinking that Li Xiu was guilty of delaying everyone's trip, and comforted, "Those pills don't have much effect, it's better to eat more sour things, and when you enter the city, find a shop that sells ice and make an ice bowl to eat, and it will be much better later." "The weather is surprisingly hot and capricious these days, sitting in the carriage all the way, it is easy to suffer from heat stroke if it is stuffy and impermeable, and it is necessary to pay attention to the problem of water and soil adaptation when walking south for a few days.

Li Xiu's complexion is not white, she has always loved beauty, a white covers a hundred ugliness, the girls in the village look like Mo Xiaohe, there are almost none, and the daughters of the lack of strong labor have to go to the field to do farm work.

She used to work in the fields, and after she got a tan, she never raised her. Li Xiu thought carefully, and when she returned to her carriage, she closed the window to block the sun, who expected that the carriage would be dizzy, making her miserable. Mo Daya is also the same problem, she is darker than Li Xiu, originally she didn't care, but Xu Tietou looked handsome, like a woman, the two of them stood together, forming a strong contrast, she looked like a man.

I remember that my cousin once sang a strange tune, she had only heard it once, and she didn't remember the words very clearly, one of them was, "You are mighty and majestic, and the galloping horse is like a wind......

Xu Tietou's small body and strength couldn't match it, and Mo Daya's mind immediately flashed the scene of herself driving a carriage domineeringly, she had a black line on her face, and she always felt that she was the man who set the horse.

Due to the problems of the two, the road was delayed for a lot of hours, and the group walked to the dark, and there was still nearly an hour away from the city gate of Jincheng.

Jincheng is named after the flowers, it is the favorite city of the literati and ink writers of the Great Wu, whether it is in the city or in the countryside, every household plants flowers and grasses, there are nine months to ten months in a year, walking on the road, you can smell the fragrance of flowers.

At night, a cool breeze blows, the weeds grow tall in the fields, there are several farmlands around, and there are small villages not far away. A gray cloud floated in the sky, occasionally obscuring the crescent moon.

Mo Xiaohe sat in the carriage for a day, her back hurt, her feet stepped on the soft soil, her eyes closed, facing the wind, her nose was full of the fragrance of lilacs.

Gu Zheng is by his wife's side, even if he doesn't say anything or do anything, he will have infinite joy, and her little emotion can immediately infect him. Xu Tietou found a flat place, burned the weeds in the ground with fire, and then set up a tent, he got used to it, took a small hammer, knocked on it, and turned out pots and pans and condiments in the carriage, ready to make dinner.

Mo Daya was already hungry, she covered her stomach, sat in the tent, and waited for Xu Tietou to cook, so don't take out her skills and be embarrassed, fortunately, with him, since she tasted his skills, she began to remember.

After struggling for a long time, in the end she still couldn't get the delicious food in her mouth, maybe there was a possibility of being abandoned again, Mo Daya didn't care, there was no hurdle that couldn't be passed, she just waited to hear the news that Li Er and the old goddess died in prison.

Aunt Lan has fallen, people have gone crazy, the two of them have no one to take care of, plus they are familiar with Aunt Lan, naturally some people look at the mother and son unpleasantly, sometimes you don't have to do it yourself, you can achieve the desired effect, Mo Daya thought, as long as Li Er and the old goddess are unlucky, she is a sunny day.

"Husband, I'll mix the cold skin, it's a little late today."

In the evening, Mo Xiaohe ate several plum cabbage button pork pancakes, and she was not too hungry. The husband eats a lot, so she rolls a cake for him, with a big bowl of refreshing cold skin, tomorrow's breakfast, and it is not too late to eat it after entering the city.

The three families have their own tastes, and they didn't mix together to eat a big pot of rice, Mo Daya and Li Xiu held the rice bowl, seeing that Mo Xiaohe didn't need to open the fire, and easily got dinner, and suddenly felt that they had no experience in traveling and were not very good at living.
