On the second day of the first month of May, the sky was just bright, Li Niang opened the chai door, Li Daniu's ox cart was already waiting outside, Shubai struggled to carry two coarse cloth bags and put them on the car, and carried four bags in a row before helping Li Niang to get into the car.

"Please, Uncle Niu, be careful on the road and come back early."

With the advice of the book, Li Niang and Li Da Niu went on the road, because it was not a market in Jinshui Town, it was almost difficult to see a few pedestrians on the road, and after half an hour after passing Jinshui Town, there were slowly more figures who went to the capital together.

These pedestrians, or pick or mention, more are driving cars, looking at the neatly dressed people, Li Daniu whispered to Li Niang that many of them are tenant farmers of the official eunuchs, and this is in a hurry to deliver vegetables to the city.

Only then did Li Niang know that rich and powerful families have their own farms, and the income of the farms is mainly for their own families, and they buy very little outside.

As soon as she heard this, Li Niang was worried, she didn't buy anything outside, who did she sell her dried fish to.

Li Daniu knew Li Niang's purpose, and when he saw her fidgeting, he smiled and said: "Li Niang, pay attention, people send most fresh vegetables, meat and eggs, and what you want to sell is dried fish, which is a rare thing, and ordinary people don't have this, so they should be able to sell it at a good price." ”

Li Niang covered her chest, she really wanted to roll her eyes at Uncle Niu, why did she gasp for breath when she spoke, and scared people......

Papa, caught up with a two-wheeled carriage from behind, with a very old jujube red horse, the carriage was half-sectional, with a canopy, the coachman sat in front, and when he saw Li Daniu, he shouted: "Yo, Brother Da Niu is also entering the city today?" ”

"Ah, it's Second Uncle Wang, you're early, yo, He Xiaoxiucai, Wen Rui's family." Not only Li Daniu was surprised, but Li Niang was also surprised, there was He Liansheng sitting in the carriage, as well as her second aunt Xiao Wang and Mei Niang, these two have been very active recently, jumping around, what are you doing.

"Hehe, Li Niang is early, are you going to enter the city too?" As if to prove something, He Liansheng moved to the side, and the distance between him and the two of them was widened, so Mei Niang rolled her eyes vaguely, and was looked at by Li Niang, hehe, her cousin.

"Well, even Brother Sheng's early, I'll go into the city to do something." Li Niang responded lightly, and when she saw Xiao Wang's greedily staring at the bags on the ox cart, she sneered in her heart.

Li Daniu is not only a coachman today, but also responsible for covering, especially when there is someone in the second room of the Mo family in front of him, he hurriedly pulled away from the second king, saying that his eldest son was going to say goodbye, and he wanted to pull the family's coarse grain into the city to exchange for some fine grain, so that he could entertain the guests.

Li Xiaoniu said that the matter of kissing has spread throughout Xiaowan Village, and thinking that he will leave in a few days, Xiao Wang's whole person is not good, and he is too lazy to look at the broken ox cart.

He Liansheng had other thoughts, "Li Niang, the ox cart is slow, the carriage is fast, why don't you come over and share it with us." ”

"No need Brother Liansheng, I'm good at riding this ox cart, I'm used to it." Li Niang refused with a faint expression.

The plain girl in Tsing Yi was holding a small burden, and the two buns on her head were not full of flowers, and her down-and-out appearance made He Liansheng feel very uncomfortable, "Li Niang, you just come here, don't worry about the car money." ”

Mei Niang's mouth pursed, with an expression that you should be happy when you encounter such a good thing, and said in a weird manner: "Yes, Li Niang don't be afraid, this car was chartered by Brother Liansheng to buy books in the bookstore, doesn't Brother Shubai also have to take the annual exam?" Aren't you also going to buy books? ”

"We're not going the same way." Li Niang shook her head resolutely, "I'm going to sell embroidery, not to buy books, I heard that the price of the embroidery workshop in the city is higher than that in the town." ”

Xiao Wang's eyes lit up, "Li Niang, don't forget ......"

"Can't forget! I owe two taels of pension money, Li Niang and my brother remember it very clearly, and they don't need to be reminded by the second aunt from time to time. Li Niang's eyelids were too lazy to lift, she was really unlucky, why did she just meet these few, and her beautiful mood was gone.

In He Liansheng's eyes, Li Niang was speechless at the moment, looking extremely pitiful, she must be crying sadly, Shubai is really, how can the pressure of supporting a family be pressed on Li Niang's body, it is too unusual, I must talk to him when I turn back.

The old horse was impatient, and snorted a few times, and the second king shouted and flicked his whip, and the carriage clattered past the ox cart, and soon ran away.

"I'm sorry, isn't it just an old horse, what's the spirit, catch Ming'er Laozi to buy a big Wanliang horse that is a hundred times better than you, hum."

After Li Daniu scolded Wang Er, he turned his head and smiled at Li Niang embarrassedly, but found that the little girl didn't notice him at all, and was looking at the city wall in the distance in a daze.

In Li Niang's memory, she has never had the experience of going to the city, she is so big, she can go as far as Jinshui Town, but the girls in the village who are as big as her have already entered the city to see it, after all, from Xiaowan Village to the capital, it is more than 20 miles.

Without the company of her family, she was tired of running around for a living, being ridiculed and ridiculed, these Li Niang didn't take it to heart, since she became a little fairy farmer, her horizons have broadened, and her thoughts are naturally different from ordinary little ladies.

My brother is right, there is no shame in supporting oneself, and only those who are supported and ungrateful should be spurned, hum, just like the second uncle, wait and see, it's strange if you can have a chance.

The second half of the road, just in Li Niang's cranky thoughts, Li Daniu called her to get out of the car, she realized that the capital had arrived, and she forgot to appreciate the tall and majestic city gatehouse.

There is no market in the capital, ox carts can enter the city, otherwise what can be done with so many ox carts that deliver meat and vegetables, but the Soldiers and Horses Division also has a way to control it, all foreign cars that enter the city must pay a city tax, a car ten cents tax, which stops a lot of cars, Li Da Niu said that the passenger ox carts in the countryside are generally parked outside the city gate and waiting.

Li Niang is chartered Li Da Niu's car today, one hundred Wen back and forth, and the city tax is also out here, this price is a normal market, the brother inquired about it and Li Da Niu discussed, the brother also settles the account, not to mention the two sides of the contract, so that no one takes advantage of anyone, everyone is more comfortable.

Everything in the capital is unfamiliar to Li Niang, and Li Daniu is not very familiar, the two have already discussed, and after entering the city, they first found the third uncle Mo Wenwu, the third uncle has been working in the north and south shops for many years, and he acts cheaply.

In the morning light, the rough country man pulled the girl in Tsing Yi and hurriedly left, like many people who went into the city to look for opportunities, it was really inconspicuous, and when he successfully found the north and south shops, and called out to the guy who was sweeping the floor at the door, Mo Wenwu was stunned.

"Li Niang? How are you! Is there an accident at home, is it your brother? Don't!! ”

It can be seen that what a terrifying thing it is for a little girl to ride into the city alone, which made Mo Wenwu think a lot and far, and his face turned white with fright.
