Chapter 60: Settling down and searching for someone
Did you tell Geng Zheng directly that he was not sure to find that so-called relative? Or, pretend to stay and 'find' first? And then wait a few days and then go to the capital to find them to defect?
Xiaomi hadn't decided what to say yet, and when he took a break at noon, Geng Zheng spoke first and arranged for a subordinate Liancheng to follow Xiaomi to stay in Xuancheng to find relatives.
If you find it, if you feel okay, Liancheng will go back to the capital by herself, and if you can't find it, or maybe the relative is unreliable, let Xiaomi go to Beijing with Liancheng......
Geng Zheng said that after entering Beijing, he became an apprentice in a trading house. In the future, when he grows up and can stand alone, it is not impossible to promote him to be a steward.
Xiaomi didn't expect Geng Zheng to arrange the future for him, and he still listened to it and was very promising. Her heart was very moved, and she nodded again and again and said yes.
In the afternoon, when the caravan was about to enter Xuancheng, it met a man riding a horse with an anxious face outside the city gate.
Millet was carrying a burden on the carriage and was ready to get off the carriage, when he found that Geng Zheng and the others had changed their faces as soon as they saw this man on horseback.
What the person said to Geng Zheng, Xiaomi was close and heard it clearly. It turned out that the trading house had an accident at the semicolon in another place, saying that there was a fire and people died.
The boss of the trading house had already gone there from another shortcut road, and when Geng Zheng and they were about to arrive near Xuancheng, they called someone to greet them, and they went to the branch immediately.
The person who came conveyed the meaning of the boss and said that what happened over there was a chance that it was man-made. It is not enough to just count on the government.
In this way, the caravan stopped and made another arrangement. Geng Zheng divided the people into two teams, one team sent the goods back to the capital, and the other team rushed with him to the semicolon.
No accidents, it doesn't matter. Now there is a big event, and there is not enough manpower.
Xiaomi hurriedly stepped forward and said that he could, no one would follow, so let Liancheng do the right thing.
"That's okay, you have to be careful yourself, if you can't, go to the capital. When you arrive in the capital, you will go to the Haiyi Commercial Bank, and you will report the name of your brother and that, and the people in the commercial house will be entertained. Geng Zheng couldn't help it, and told Xiaomi.
"Second brother, you should also pay attention to safety." Xiaomi didn't want to cause chaos to others, so it said goodbye simply and clearly.
Before Geng Er got on the horse and left, he ordered some things to go back to the capital, one of which was to arrange for Xiaomi to stay in an inn in the city first, and then slowly find someone.
Immediately, he gave Xiaomi another 20 taels of silver to prevent him from finding his relatives, so that he could keep his food expenses and enough food to enter Beijing, so that he would not go hungry.
Xiaomi pushed me not to, but was scolded by Tan Laosan, saying that Xiaomi looked like a very smart and cheerful child. It's not going to be a fool at this time.
There was no way, Xiaomi had no choice but to accept it, and watched Geng Zheng and a few people turn their horses and gallop away at the gate of the city.
The person who arranged for someone to escort the goods back to Beijing was Fang Liancheng who was responsible, he first helped Xiaomi arrange the inn, and then asked the innkeeper to take more care of Xiaomi before leaving.
When Jia Xiaoliu was leaving, he secretly stuffed Xiaomi with a bag of things, and before the heavy Xiaomi could figure out what it was, they jumped into the carriage and drove the carriage off.
Just because of an accident, I should have said goodbye, but I was in such a hurry. Xiaomi's heart suddenly felt a little empty. If you have fate, you should see each other again, and after staying here for a few days, you will also enter the capital.
Now, she can only silently pray for Geng Zheng and them in her heart, and have a smooth journey and be safe. Even with it, I also pray that Yihai Trading Company will not happen to bad things again.
Although I haven't seen the boss of the trading house, Geng Zheng and the others are so good, they gather people in groups, and that boss should be good.
The innkeeper accepted half a month's room money from Liancheng, and agreed to take care of it, and saw Xiaomi standing at the door of the inn, so he asked the guy to step forward and lead Xiaomi into the room.
The inns in ancient times were the same as the hotels now, and the rooms were of different grades. Liancheng was instructed to order a guest room, but it was not a low-class bunk.
Rather a medium grade room with a good location.
The first thing Millet did when she entered the house was to ask the guy to help her prepare bath water. I walked this way with the caravan, because it was inconvenient, so I didn't take a serious bath.
It's all looking for an opportunity, so I get some water and wipe it. I can finally take a good shower today, and Xiaomi doesn't want to wait until it gets dark.
The guy didn't slack off because the millet people were small, and soon brought two buckets of water over. Xiaomi gave a few copper coins as a tip, which surprised the guy.
As soon as the guy left, Millet closed the door and bolted it, and blocked the door with two chairs in the room, and after checking the window cabinet, he entered the small room with confidence, used the hot water in the bucket, cleaned the bath bucket, and then took off his clothes and entered the bath bucket.
Wow, it's so comfortable, millet soaked in the bath bucket with just the right temperature, lazily closed her eyes, and soaked for a while before scrubbing her body.
The mud rolls on her body made her feel a sense of accomplishment. After getting out of the tub and washing in another basin, I felt that my body was lighter.
Because she was afraid that the guy would clean up the bath bucket and see the mud rolls in the bath bucket, she rolled her body with a blanket, pulled out the plug at the bottom of the bath bucket very diligently, put the water, and used the remaining water in the wooden bucket to clean the bath bucket, and then went to bed with confidence.
The futon on the bed was not satin, but cotton cloth with small flowers on a blue background. It's clean and refreshing when you look at it, and the pillow is a rice husk core, Xiaomi feels that it's really getting easier and easier to be satisfied.
However, people who are easily satisfied, happiness is also easy to experience, why should they let themselves live so hard and tired in life.
Millet who is a person in two lives has a deeper understanding, in fact, people, sometimes a lot of troubles and pressures are self-inflicted. It has nothing to do with anyone else.
Life is too short for anyone to predict what will happen in the next moment or tomorrow. I am lucky, although my previous life is gone, but I wore it to ancient times.
It's been three years, and I haven't met a fellow villager, so what does that mean? It can only be said that the probability of crossing this is quite low.
Therefore, if you are alive, you have to be happy for a day, why are you so tired of tossing yourself?
I, Yuan Xiaomi, am now completely free. I will definitely live up to the second life you have given me, and I will promise to make myself happy every day.
Millet looked at the off-white tent and shouted in her heart.
Now, it's very close to the capital, and if you want to, you can set off there now. However, Xiaomi is not in a hurry to enter Beijing now.
Just rest in this inn, think about how to enter Beijing, and how to live after entering Beijing. The best thing is to be able to show people in women's clothes.
In that case, there is no need to try to cover it up, otherwise, you have to disguise it every day, how tiring is it?
Besides, when you grow up, your body will begin to develop, and Xiaomi doesn't want to strangle her chest with any cloth strap like she saw in the book, which is the proudest place for women in addition to her face, what should I do if I strangle my deformation?
Millet lay in bed until it was dark and felt hungry, so she got up and combed her hair, got dressed and went to the restaurant at the door of the inn to eat a bowl of fried noodles.
It's not to save trouble, it's not to save money, it's just to eat fried noodles. Hand-rolled lasagna, diced pork belly in bean paste, red and bright spicy seeds, green green onions, fragrant and delicious.
When I returned to the inn after eating, the innkeeper kindly asked Xiaomi who was looking for the surname of the relative and what he did. Millet made up a long time ago to sue him.
The shopkeeper was worried about Xiaomi at that time, he only knew the surname, but he didn't know the name, and he didn't know what he was doing, how to find it? It is said that it is Xuancheng, but there are 10,000 people in Xuancheng, which is equivalent to digging needles in the sea.
However, he still has to comfort Xiaomi, don't worry, look for it slowly, you will definitely find it.
Xiaomi has a very helpless look on her face, but she has a hippie smile in her heart.
If you really find such a person who is made up and imaginary, it will be evil.
After thanking the shopkeeper, Millet returned to his room, still bolting the door. After going to bed, he put the dagger under his pillow and walked around the house for a while to eliminate his appetite before going to bed again.
I slept well in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, the guest who lived next door came back drunk and came back from outside, playing drunk, crying and laughing for more than an hour.
Xiaomi, who was disturbed by his good dreams, did not feel annoyed at all, lying on the bed and listening to him play drunk, just as a joke. Listening to it, I suddenly remembered the small bag that Jia Xiaoliu gave him before leaving.
I got up and found it, and when I opened it, my nose immediately became sore.
The things wrapped in several layers of cloth turned out to be dozens of big coins, as well as a few pieces of scattered silver horns.
Geng Zheng gave her twenty taels of silver, Xiaomi was grateful, and although Jia Xiaoliu gave little, it also moved Xiaomi. He is a coachman, the lowest laborer in the trading house, even if the trading house is not harsh on the people below, it is still to save money to marry a daughter-in-law and start a family in the future.
Well, if you have a chance in the future, you will definitely repay the little sixth brother well, she touched the big money in the cloth bag and thought so in her heart. If you are good to yourself, you must return 100 times and 100 times.
After dawn, Millet freshened up and went out. Of course, the innkeeper thought she was looking for someone, and told her not to come back early.
Millet ate buns on the street and began to wander around unhurriedly. I saw a girl of the same age as myself, wearing a beautiful dress, with beautiful beaded flowers and hairpins on her head, and I was really envious.
The Qin family, the fifth aunt bought for herself, and she didn't take it away. And the headdress and small jewelry taken from the Lu family, I didn't like it at all, I wanted to exchange it for some money, and I was afraid that the people of the Luo family would find out and cause trouble, so I buried it in the grove on the side of the road the next day.
I really want to change back into women's clothes, the more Xiaomi thinks about it, the more itchy it becomes...... R1152
