After Cen Erniang cried bitterly, she shook off the boulder that had been piling up in her heart, only to feel that the whole person was new and extremely relaxed. The mother and daughter of the Liu family traveled dozens of miles just to unravel her friendship, and she will never forget it.

This let her know that not everyone in the world is hypocritical, and there are always one or two old ones, sincerely thinking about you and treating her as before.

More than two hours passed, and Cen Erniang and the four of them finally rushed back to Walnut Hutong before the city ban. When the carriage approached the Cen family's house from a distance, Libai and Yumo found Cen Dalang and Shen Mama waiting at the gate with lanterns, and seeing that they had accumulated a thick layer of snowflakes on their bodies, they knew that they had been waiting outside for a while.

Seeing this, Yumo flicked two more whips, urging the horse to run faster.

Cen Dalang and Mama Shen saw the familiar brown canopy head carriage approaching from a distance, and knew that it was Cen Erniang and they were back.

Mama Shen rushed into the kitchen of the outer courtyard with a lantern, asked Mrs. Feng to bring the hot food and hot water to the lobby, and then turned around and entered the inner courtyard to report to the second master Cen who was anxiously waiting for news.

Cen Dalang ran to the carriage with a lantern, but he couldn't wait for a moment.

After a while, Cen Dalang stopped in front of the carriage panting, he threw the lantern to Libai, got into the warm carriage with charcoal burning in the carriage, and said to Cen Erniang: "Sister, you are finally back, you have worked hard today." ”

"Where." Cen Erniang handed the soup woman in her hand to Cen Dalang, who was blue from the cold, "Big brother has been waiting for a long time." Why don't you wait in the house on a cold day? ”

"I'm also worried about your delays." Cen Dalang didn't answer, scratched his head stupidly and smiled: "I'm not cold, sister, you're afraid of the cold, cover your hands with it, my mother said that girls can't be cold." ”

"Hmm." Cen Erniang knew that her eldest brother was strong and not afraid of the cold, so she continued to put Tang Pozi on her lap and put her hand under Tang Pozi. She really felt that it was too cold.

Shu Ying saw that Cen Dalang's body was covered with snowflakes, so he gently kicked the iron basin that was burning with charcoal on the soles of his feet in front of him, "Young Master, bake your hands, I see that your hands are frozen purple." ”

"It's fine." Cen Dalang saw that Shuying and his sister were ruddy, and his hands were indeed very cold, so he put his frozen hands and feet close to the iron plate and roasted the fire.

Cen Erniang listened to the sound of wind and snow whistling outside the carriage, looked at the thick snow on both sides of the alley through the car window, and frowned: On such a snowy day, I'm afraid the official road is frozen. I will set off in three days, and it seems that I need to prepare some silver charcoal and shovels. Otherwise, how can you hurry in this cold weather?

"The eldest young master and the second girl are home." Yumo's voice sounded from outside.

Cen Dalang, Cen Erniang, and Shuying jumped out of the carriage one after another, and entered the house with Yumo and Libai, and after a hot dinner, Cen Erniang, Shuying and Cen Dalang went to the back room to help Cen Erye, Lin, and Cen Sanlang, who could get out of bed, to the conservatory, and called Ling Feng, Shen Mama, Feng Pozi, Yang Peng, Jingshan, and Doctor Qin, who had just been invited to Cen Dalang's house, to the conservatory.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cen Erniang announced that she had negotiated with the Hongwei Dart Bureau and made a contract, and they would set off in three days.

Dr. Qin, the oldest and past the age of sixtieth year, had a wrinkled face and took the lead in raising objections: "This is not appropriate! Second girl, it has been snowing heavily recently, almost exhaling into ice, extremely cold, I am afraid that more than half of the official roads are frozen. ”

"How can you travel far in such weather? In addition, your parents and younger brothers are sick and need to recuperate, so it is not advisable to travel far. Why don't you wait until after the beginning of spring? ”

When Second Master Cen heard this, he waved his hand, "Don't worry about us." Although my clumsy son and I were sick, it was not a serious illness and did not hinder us from traveling. Rather than staying in Hong'an Mansion and having people come to see jokes every day, being looked at and ridiculed, we would rather leave earlier. ”

"Moreover, I haven't been to my uncle's house for many years, and now that I have the opportunity to visit, our family can't wait." Second Master Cen smiled and said to Doctor Qin: "Doctor Qin, I know that you have excellent medical skills and good health, and I want to have you accompany us to set off, and there will be no obstacles on the road." Right? ”

"Hey......" Doctor Qin sighed, regretting it in his heart: why was he so confused at the beginning, thinking about silver and going crazy, why was he drugged the Lin family by Mrs. Cen San? But he smiled: "Second Master Cen has a good reputation." However, if your family insists on leaving, the old man will accompany you. However, in our business, the sick, the old, the young, the ......"

"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Cen Erniang knew that Doctor Qin was worried that the road would not be smooth, so she said: "Here, the Hongwei Dart Bureau has sent more than 20 dart masters with outstanding martial arts to accompany them. Moreover, on the way from Hong'an Mansion to Huaizhou Mansion, their dart bureau has already been taken care of, and there will be no long-sighted robbery for us. ”

"That's fine." Doctor Qin didn't deal with Cen Erniang on the first day, and knew that she was safe and shrewd, so he stroked his beard with confidence, "I don't know if the second girl can have medicinal herbs?" Huaizhou Mansion is thousands of miles away from Hong'an Mansion, and along the way, it is inevitable that some people will get sick. ”

"I don't know much about medicinal herbs, so in order to avoid mistakes, I think I should bother you to buy it. Especially my parents' younger brother's medicine, I can't do without it. Cen Erniang handed Doctor Qin a silver ticket of five hundred taels: "Look, is it enough?" Not enough for me to add more. ”

Doctor Qin silently calculated, Second Master Cen, Lin and Cen Sanlang need good medicinal materials to replenish their bodies, and others will inevitably get caught with wind and cold, fever or something, their group of people are all natives of the north, and if they want to go to the southwest, they may not adapt to the soil and water. told Cen Erniang about these and asked her to add three hundred taels.

It's better to have more herbs. After all, in this winter, they took the official road, and there were very few medicinal herb shops along the way, and many pharmacies even closed the mountains due to heavy snowfall, and many medicines were in short supply.

Cen Erniang didn't say a word, and gave Dr. Qin three silver tickets of one hundred taels, and instructed Jingshan to go out with Dr. Qin all the way tomorrow to help carry the medicinal materials. After settling Doctor Qin, she asked Mama Shen, Ling Feng and the others, "What about you?" But if you have any ideas, speak them up and listen to them. ”

Mrs. Feng said quickly: "Our luggage is packed, and the girl says when to leave, we will follow." ”

Ling Feng and others naturally agreed.

Cen Erniang saw that Yang Peng was still depressed, and from time to time she looked at her and her parents and brothers with resentful eyes, and her face turned cold: "Since everyone has no objections, let's disperse and rest early." Libai, Shuying and Yang Peng stayed. ”

Mrs. Feng hugged Cen Sanlang, Mama Shen helped Lin, Cen Dalang helped Cen Erye to leave first, and Jingshan, Doctor Qin and others then went back to their respective houses.

At this moment, because he hurriedly moved into the empty conservatory that had not yet had time to be arranged, only Cen Erniang and the four of them remained, and the atmosphere in the room condensed suddenly.
