The two of them walked to the temporary place where they were stationed in the dark, and they could hear a lively scene from a distance.

Zhu Yan didn't get out of the carriage when he stayed a few nights ago, and the people in the caravan didn't look as relaxed as they did today, so when Lin Qin said that he wanted Zhu Yan to join them in their night activities, Zhu Yan agreed.

When he approached the camp, he saw that the carriage had formed a simple barrier, and the escort team that looked particularly powerful and powerful made Zhu Yan feel a little relieved about the reckless behavior of the Lin family's caravan.

After all, ninety-nine steps is only half a hundred, although it is said that he can reach Jiangli County tomorrow, but after all, there is still a day's journey, the first few days were trembling and did not dare to relax in the slightest, but now he has begun to have a good dinner, I have to say that Zhu Yan is not only a little incomprehensible, but also a little confused.

But this decision was made by Shopkeeper Lin, and Zhu Yan had no room for beak.

Zhu Yan shook his hair that hadn't dried yet, and was led by Lin Qin into a pair of bonfires that had risen. Lighting a bonfire can be a little hot in the summer, but it is also a time when wolves are around, and it can also be a reminder to travelers.

Almost a third of them were missing, probably bathing on the other side of the lake. It could be heard from the human voice before, and there were not a few people taking a bath. If you go to wash Jiangli County tomorrow, Jiangli County is a county town, and the price of the bathhouse must cost a lot for so many people. Since there is such a suitable place to go, especially if you are not afraid of the cold, it is not a big deal for a group of people to go to the lake to bathe.

Shopkeeper Lin was talking to a pair of men and women he hadn't seen before. The man wore a green cloth straight jacket, and his long hair was tied in a bun on the top, but what caught Zhu Yan's eye was indeed a long sword tied around his waist, the scabbard was simple, although there was no gem inlay, but it could be seen from the light of the bonfire that this sword must be extraordinary, because its scabbard was very good. The woman wore a bright red dress and looked beautiful in the firelight. There is also a sword on his waist, which looks exactly like the one on the man's waist.

However, the eyebrows of these two people were full of anger, although the two of them looked very kind to talk to the shopkeeper Lin, but the look shown between their eyes could see that these two people were afraid of a few lives in their hands.

Zhu Yan didn't know how many people she had seen in her previous life, so she couldn't help frowning, but Lin Qin had already pulled her over.

Shopkeeper Lin saw the two coming back and hurriedly greeted Lin Qin.

"Qin'er, you're back. Come, let me introduce to you, this is a famous double sword hero on the rivers and lakes. This is Lin Qin, the second treasurer of our caravan. ”

The man and woman nodded to Lin Qin, and glanced at Zhu Yan, who was wearing loose hair, and saw that the shopkeeper Lin did not mean to introduce, so he did not ask again.

Listening to the introduction of the shopkeeper Lin, it turned out that these two swordsmen were chasing and killing two thieves, and they ran around for five days and five nights before they caught up. When he wanted to return, he found that he had run too far and the food he was carrying had run out, so he had no choice but to walk a little farther with light effort.

Thinking that the two of them rushed back to Jiangli County overnight, they saw the lit bonfire when they were still far away from the caravan, thinking that it should be a passing traveler, maybe some food on them may not be necessary, so they simply came over and paid the silver money to buy some food. Although the children of the rivers and lakes are informal, there is no reason for others to pay for food in vain.

Although there are a few guards under Shopkeeper Lin who are okay with kung fu, they are all fist and foot kung fu, and they may not be able to compare with the men and women holding double swords in front of them.

Later, I learned that the two of them were the famous double sword heroes on the rivers and lakes, these two people have always been chivalrous, and they heard that there was an injustice somewhere, and if they were near the left, they would draw their swords to sweep away the cause of the injustice. Shopkeeper Lin also put his mind at ease, he was a little afraid that this was a strong man who came to rob the Dao.

Seeing that the two of them were so prosperous and willing to exchange silver money for food, Shopkeeper Lin was even more relieved, and persuaded them that since it was getting late, it was better to stay in the caravan and sleep for one night, instead of running around all night.

The Twin Swordsmen have always been just rumors in the rivers and lakes, and there are not many people who have seen them, and the shopkeeper Lin only knows that the two men like Tsing Yi, the woman likes to wear red clothes, and they have double swords to prove their identity, so he didn't think that these two would lie. There are many arrogant people in the rivers and lakes, and many times they will not impersonate the identities of others.

Although he has many years of business experience, he does not have many times to deal with people in the rivers and lakes. At this time, I can only use my ability to entertain distinguished guests.

Seeing that Lin Qin was back, Shopkeeper Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. Don't look at Lin Qin as a girl who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but her talent is indeed not doubtful. At that time, there were many taboos about women showing their heads, and they always felt that if it was a woman with a caravan, it would be not very credible, so Uncle Lin got the position of the big shopkeeper.

The achievements he has done over the years cannot be compared with what Lin Qin has done in the past few years, and he can't complain that the owner appreciates Lin Qin too much.

Because he gets along with Lin Qin a lot, he knows that Lin Qin's character is still relatively easy to get along with, and he is indeed very capable. Sometimes he will sigh secretly, who called Lin Qin is daughter.

However, although he also secretly admired this girl, he didn't think it was good for women to come out to work, so the money he earned in the past few years was also sent home, and he carefully told the mother-in-law at home, there is only one daughter in the family, but you must send the child to the women's school, learn more knowledge and female celebrities, so that you can marry a good man in the future, and your life will be guaranteed.

Women's learning was advocated by the brave and warlike princess of the Great Xia Dynasty at the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty. Because she was originally a daughter, she was not willing to do piano and embroidery, but she felt that reading and learning words was more enjoyable. She often said that reading is the only way to make people reasonable.

Reasonable people naturally can't stand the tyranny of the previous dynasty, and the eldest princess's family is obviously a reasonable person. At that time, the people's livelihood was scarce, there was nothing to eat, but the officials were still scraping the ground, eager to build themselves a gold house full of gold and silver treasures, and the people had reached the point of suffering, but they did not see any mercy from the superiors. So Lu Taizu rose up that year, gathered the power of the four famous families at that time, created the Great Xia Dynasty, and named the patriarch of the four major families as the hereditary prince. And the eldest princess, who paid a lot when she conquered the world, was also named the eldest princess of the country by Taizu.

With the changes in the world, it has only been more than a hundred years, and the four major families are not the same as they were back then. The Zhou family is the main text, the Zhu family is in charge of the army, the Wang family is the main businessman, and the Shen family is the chief doctor.

Originally, the power of the four families was about the same. And because the Zhou family was the first to take refuge in Lu Taizu and ate the first crab, they were also the most trusted by Lu Taizu, and several imperial examinations were given to the Zhou family. However, the Zhou family is not in a good mood now, and I heard that there are no people with great literary talents, so I am afraid that the successor will be weak.

Not to mention the Zhu family, with military power, no matter how you say it, you will not let yourself fall to the point where it is worse than before, not only can it not be worse, but it is also better, so it is more diligent in seeking power.

The luck of the Wang family can be said to be the best, because there is a princess who protects the country as an ancestor. At the beginning of the incident, the eldest princess, who not only read and learned calligraphy since she was a child, but also practiced bow and horse skill, met Wang Lidan, the son of the Wang family at that time, and knew and loved each other. In the end, Wang Lidan also persuaded his father, the head of the family, to give half of the family property to the Lu family. The Lu family can get the world, and the Wang family is indispensable. When Lu Molan, the eldest princess of the country, married Wang Lidan, the Wang family was destined not to decline after a period of prosperity.

As for the Shen family, there is nothing more to say. The Shen family's medical skills have always been passed on to men rather than women, but this generation of the Shen family has no men to inherit the lineage, I heard that there are only three daughters, and now the Shen family is all supported by Shen Xuening, the eldest lady of Shen.

When these news of the capital reached the ears of Shopkeeper Lin, he made up his mind to send his children to girls' school. Because the eldest princess vigorously promoted that women should also read and learn calligraphy, she also deliberately obtained a holy decree from Lu Taizu to open a women's school in a slightly larger city. And the status of women has also improved a lot with her subtle help. If you go to a women's school, you can be favored by all the sons of all families after graduation.

Even the princess who protects the country has come out to show her head, who dares to say a few words? However, no one said anything about the larger places, but the smaller places still had some dislike for the women who came out to show their faces.

I'm afraid that those sons of families in the capital don't like it either, otherwise, look at Shen Xuening I heard that not only is her appearance outstanding, but her medical skills are unparalleled in the world, why is she nineteen years old and hasn't married yet!

As for whether she is married, who knows? Few people paid attention. As for the grapevine that she was married to the Xue family when she was a child, she didn't see the Xue family come out to admit it!

Shopkeeper Lin doesn't want his child to be unable to marry in the future, he is still waiting to hold his nephew.

Zhu Yan didn't pay attention to these things, only paid attention to what Shopkeeper Lin said.

Lin Qin turned out to be the second shopkeeper in the Lin family's caravan, and only then did Zhu Yan know her identity. Although the people in the caravan usually had some respect for her, Zhu Yan only thought that Lin Qin was probably the one sent down from above. Thinking of all the strange things I encountered in the caravan, there was an explanation at this time.

Lin Qin had already spoken to the two men and women with swords, and he didn't know what he was talking about, but the three of them laughed in unison.

Zhu Yan didn't go over there, but walked directly to the empty ground and sat down. Lin Qin's voice over there was a little blurred, and he didn't know what they were talking about.

I don't know why, Zhu Yan didn't encounter anything about the rivers and lakes in her previous life, and I don't know if Zhu Yan forgot about it herself, or if she really didn't experience it. She saw the men and women with swords, and also saw the respect and faint fear of Shopkeeper Lin for their unusual people, and then she realized that this was still a world where martial arts and government coexisted.
