It was still late summer when they left the capital, and it was already winter.
When she came, because of Yan Ningjinghe's distress, Yan Lie forced her to take a carriage to recuperate along the way, and she was not allowed to come out. So all the way, Yan Ning couldn't get out of the carriage to breathe.
Now, Yan Ning is like a bird out of the cage, and when she left Nanzhou City, she changed into men's clothes and rode a horse with Yan Liefeng and others.
Meng Xiu looked at the girl's heroic posture on the horse, and muttered to his brother, "Our girl's clothes, men's clothes are more beautiful than women's clothes", these words fell into Hongni's ears and slashed him several times.
Meng Liang smiled for Bo Jiaren, and punched Meng Xiu with an old fist, causing Meng Xiu to be stunned when he saw Hauni.
Yan Ning knew about this and was overjoyed, and privately asked Hongni when she planned to get married.
In fact, Hauni is only fourteen years old this year, Yan Ning thinks that it is still early for her to get married, but it is better to plan early, and marrying Hauni is also a matter of her own heart.
Hauni, who has always been generous, was also asked and blushed, her own girl is only twelve years old, how can she ask like a lady? "Girl...... Slave maid, it's still early, he said, the girl promised him to go to the army for training, and he asked me to wait for him to come back after making military merits......"
Another ambitious person!
Yan Ning was riding on a horse, looking back at Meng Liang who was left behind, and then going to see Feng Ping, what two fools, there are beauties who don't know how to marry and go home early.
Feng Ping and Meng Liang were very inexplicable by her.
Far away from Nanzhou City, the farther north you go, the colder the weather becomes.
Fortunately, it was sunny for the first few days, the sun was shining, and everyone didn't feel cold, and a group of people rode horses, much faster than when they came.
Unexpectedly, after passing Ningcheng, there were two heavy rains in a row, and the weather became cold all of a sudden.
The north wind blew on his face, and it felt like a knife scraping, and the chill penetrated to his bones.
There are fewer pedestrians on the road, and you may not be able to meet a single figure after walking on the official road for a day. After all, in the middle of winter, there is no urgency, and no one wants to come out to suffer the cold.
Most of the Yan family members have been in Yuyang Pass, and this bit of coldness, compared with outside the pass, is not enough to see at all. Like Meng Xiu, when he saw his companions wearing deerskin ear guards and scarves, he also made fun of others for being squeamish.
Although Yan Lie and Yan Ning were not afraid of the cold, Yan Xuan and Sister-in-law Li looked at the weather, for fear that they would be freezing, so they persuaded them to take the carriage and not let them ride horses. Calculating the distance, the time is still relatively free, and the speed of the journey has slowed down.
Get up early every day to travel, and find a place to stay in the afternoon when the sky is cloudy, ginger soup is a must-have every day.
From Nanzhou to Jingnan Wharf, there are many official roads and post inns, and the accommodation is convenient. When he came, because he was walking with Zhao Dahai and Chu Mo, someone arranged for him along the way, but now that he was the only one in his group, Yan Xuan felt that he was finally useful.
Along the way, I took care of food and accommodation, arranged the itinerary, and was careful everywhere, for fear that something would go wrong and make the two little masters feel wronged.
Yan Lie was bored in the car, so he pulled Feng Ping to sit and chat with him.
Feng Ping is very gentleman-like, he is idle in the carriage, he arranges for Yan Lie to read books every day, and sometimes uses historical figures as examples to explain the world and human affairs to him, which makes Yan Lie feel miserable.
Yan Ning was very supportive, and sometimes ran to their carriage to listen to Feng Ping talk about the ancients.
Although Sister-in-law Li felt that it was inappropriate for Yan Ning to sit in the same car with a foreign man like this, she couldn't stand her own girl and son-in-law's sentence "Brother Feng is not an outsider".
After a long day, the weather became gloomy.
Yan Xuan looked at the sky, walked to Yan Lie's carriage, and said, "Second son, girl, looking at the dark sky, it may be snowing." Or we'll spend the night in Tiger Town tonight. ā
Along the way, Tiger Town is the largest town, and it is too late to rush to the next city.
"Okay, let's have someone go to the front first." Yan Lie nodded in agreement, lifted the curtain and looked out, "Huh? Such a good horse, is he willing to use it to pull the cart? ā
On the official road in front of the carriage on the right, there was a man who was also driving the carriage, his carriage was just an ordinary black oilcloth carriage, which looked simple, but the horse pulling the carriage looked like a good horse.
Yan Ning heard about it, and also looked at it, and sure enough, it was a black horse.
For people like them, it seems to be a kind of nature to love horses, and they sighed when they saw such a good horse actually reduced to the foot power of pulling a cart.
Feng Ping sat in the same car with them, and when he saw the two of them sighing and sighing again and again, eager to go out to pull the horse, he couldn't help but take a look: "This man who drives the car is also not bad." ā
Yan Lie and Yan Ning patronized the horses, but they didn't look at people at all, and when he said this, they went to look at the coachman who was driving the car.
Sure enough, the person sitting on the wheel of the carriage looked at the height of the back, and looked at the height, it seemed that he was taller than ordinary people. A large hand is spread out, like a fan, grasping the axle. The carriage ran and bumped, but his figure did not shake, but it looked like he had lived on a horse for a long time.
Although his horse was a good horse, he was pulling a cart, and it seemed that he had traveled a lot of way, so the horse was a little weak and could not walk fast.
Yan Lie and his party quickly rushed to the front.
Yan Ning looked back and saw that the big man had a beard, a dark face, and a towering nose, which looked a bit like a Northern Yan person.
Although Great Chu and Northern Yan have been fighting for many years, the people on both sides still have contacts. Therefore, in the territory of Dachu, it is not uncommon for Northern Yan people to be seen.
The big man was very keen, and he felt that someone was looking at him, and a pair of leopard eyes glared at him, revealing his essence. This person is a practitioner, and his momentum is not bad, how could he be reduced to catching a car? I don't know what's in that car.
Although the people in the Yan Mansion carried several carts of luggage, the people who pulled the carts were also healthy horses, and soon, they left the big man and the carriage far behind.
The group rushed to the fork in the road, went to the left road, turned into Dahu Town, and the big man seemed to be ignorant, but he still drove his car straight along the official road.
"Poor horse, if it snows, the hooves must be frostbitten." Yan Lie still muttered and sighed.
"yes, and the horse is worn out from the axle." Yan Ning also nodded in agreement, "That person is really, such a good horse, how can he be willing to use it to pull the cart." ā
Feng Ping doesn't understand horses, and naturally he doesn't love horses. Seeing that the two brothers and sisters looked reluctant, it was funny, and the owners of the people were not distressed, they were so worried.
The people arranged by Yan Xuan had already rushed to Dahu Town first, chartered two courtyards in the largest inn in the town, and after welcoming them to move in, they arranged forage for horses, meals for people, and other things.
When it was dark, snow began to fall. The snow hit the ground, rustling, closing the wind, which was going to blow on the face, and it really hurt. Everyone was glad to be living in the inn. (To be continued.) )
