Chapter Ninety-Four: On the Road
Not long after Qiao'er withdrew, a person kneeling on the ground appeared in Ling'er's study, Ling'er put down the book in his hand and asked softly:
"Got news?"
"Yes, it's all here." Eichi placed a thick letter on her desk and stepped aside.
Ling'er opened the envelope and took out the stationery inside, read it at a glance and read it in ten lines, put the letterpaper in the copper basin under the desk, and burned it clean.
"You go and rest, send a message to Sima Chen, and my sister and I will leave for Beijing in two days. That's all I can do, I don't know if I can help. After Ling'er finished speaking, she leaned back into the chair tiredly, although she was taller than the average eleven-year-old child, but at this time she was lined by the big solid wood chair and looked more and more petite.
Ying Yi disappeared at the window, Ling'er's gaze froze there uncontrollably, Sima Chen hoped that I didn't believe you wrong. Thinking of this, Ling'er's eyes became extremely sharp, as if they were glowing with cold light. Two days later, Min'er only took Liu Er and Lan Xin to the county, and Ling'er couldn't bear to say when she saw her haggard appearance:
"Sister, you can rest for a day, let's leave tomorrow. Anyway, it's not this day, and if you get sick, it will be bad. ”
"How can it be as serious as you say? Let's leave after dinner, anyway, we have to walk for more than half a month, isn't it just a break in the car? "Min'er went back this time mainly to meet with Jiang Weichen, and after explaining everything clearly, she went to see her cousin again, and came after preparing the things, how can she stay if she has something in her heart now? I can't wait to get to the capital right away.
"Sister, why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden? Is there something I don't know? Ling'er asked tentatively.
"I'll tell you later, what kind of expression is this? It's a good thing to rest assured. Seeing that Min'er's cheerful appearance didn't look like she was pretending, she was relieved.
Ling'er didn't bring too many people when she went out this time, except for Liu Er and Lan Xin brought by Min'er, she only brought Qiao'er, Zhao Kang and Zhao Ji. The rest of the people have stayed in the county, and now the health hall business is quite good, what kind of business do people take with them? It's no wonder that Uncle Liu is not crazy, even if he takes Zhao Kang and Zhao Ji away, he still gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Sister, you lie down for a while, I think you're a little scared like this?" Ling'er looked at Min'er's somewhat excited appearance, and she felt hairy in her heart.
"Lan Xin, Qiao'er, you go to the car behind to rest, and Ling'er and I will lie down for a while." Min'er propped Qiao'er into the carriage that Zhao Kang drove behind, but Ling'er's heart was beating the drums, they had never carried these two girls on their backs, why is this now?
"Look at your little bit of talent, didn't you say that there is something good?" Min'er saw them get into the car, so she lowered the curtains, and turned her head to see Ling'er's nervous appearance and was amused.
"Sister, what the hell is going on?" Ling'er really wanted to open Min'er's brain to see what was inside, what was the big deal, and it was so mysterious.
"Look, what is this?" Min'er carefully opened one of the purses that was attached to it and took out a piece of paper from it.
"What, so important?" Ling'er took it and was taken aback, if Min'er hadn't reacted quickly and covered her mouth, she would have screamed.
"How? I didn't lie to you, now you say that we can delay time when we go to the capital? Min'er smirked.
"No, sister, I can't wait to fly to the capital all at once. It's really good, sister, this time our family is really developed, hehe. Ling'er was so excited that she wanted to scream and jump, but fortunately she still had a little bit of sanity.
"It turns out that I didn't expect it so soon, I originally wanted to go to see my cousin before leaving, who knew that he would surprise us so much." Min Erzai carefully explained the cause and effect clearly, and Ling'er also listened very carefully. I was even more emotional, if it weren't for Yi Junan, how could they get such a valuable thing? It turned out to be very contradictory, but now she figured it out at once, and when she received the grace of dripping water, she reciprocated by the spring, and when she arrived in Beijing, she told Min'er all the things, believing that Min'er would make the right choice.
They set out on the right time, so they rushed to Yaojia Village before nightfall and stayed overnight at a farmer's house. Ling'er listened to Min'er's steady breathing beside her, but she couldn't sleep, and couldn't help but think of her so-called past and present lives.
In her previous life, she was an unlucky person who was riddled with bad luck, in order to cope with all kinds of accidents, she learned many skills that ordinary people did not learn, and also suffered from ordinary people, and her only wish at that time was to get rid of bad luck. In this life, she had no bad luck, she wanted to live an ordinary life, but it turned out to make her a little bit away from the ordinary. The note from the secret man and Sima Chen's letter clearly told her the rules of life, and the world is like this, and what you gain and what you lose will never be proportional...... Ling'er was woken up by Min'er in a daze.
"What time is it?" Looking at the bright sky outside, Ling'er was still a little confused, why did she just close her eyes?
"It's almost noon, you're a child, you couldn't sleep last night, right?" Min'er handed the wet handkerchief to Ling'er, and continued:
"I saw that you slept soundly, so I carried you to the carriage, who would have thought that you would sleep until this hour at once." Min'er looked at Ling'er's confused cuteness and couldn't wait to go up and pinch it.
"I said why I was not feeling well, it turned out that I was sleeping in the carriage." Ling'er couldn't help complaining, the road conditions in this era are not as smooth as in modern times, they are all gravel roads, and it is very bumpy to sit in the carriage.
"You haven't woken up yet, if you weren't afraid that you would wake you up from hunger, I guess you might not be able to wake up at night." Min'er quipped, and after Ling'er cleaned her hands and face, she handed over the bun in her hand.
"Let's eat two vegetarian buns first, and we will arrive in Pingyang County in the evening, and we will be able to eat decent meals by then." I didn't think it was at first, but the moment I took the bun, I actually felt hungry.
"Sister, have you eaten?" Ling'er asked while eating, this vegetarian bun tastes pretty good.
"After eating, don't sleep again after you finish eating, or you will be sleepy at night, and it will be even more uncomfortable at that time." Min'er said lovingly, Ling'er nodded and stopped talking and ate seriously, the Liu family has been strict with their etiquette for many years, so the sisters have long formed a habit.
In the evening, everyone finally arrived in Pingyang County as planned and stayed at the Bulai Inn in Pingyang County. Along the way, as long as they didn't come to the inn, they didn't live in another house, Feng Niang gave Min'er a warrant, so the local shopkeeper would give them some care.
"Sister, let's talk for a while, I can't sleep." Ling'er, who slept a lot during the day, pulled Min'er to chat, which made Min'er look at her angrily.
"Who made you unable to hide things in your heart, see if you will be like this in the future?" Min'er thought that Ling'er was happy and couldn't sleep before she lost sleep.
"It's because I'm not as good as my sister that I'm a sister." Ling'er didn't argue too much.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Sister, do you think we should sell the recipe or build our own winery?" Ling'er felt that this matter still had to be discussed with Min'er.
"Of course I built my own winery, but my cousin and his master studied it for many years, so how can I sell it?" Min'er knows the value of this recipe, so she won't just look at what is in front of her.
"But it's not so easy to do business in the capital, it's better to buy from a small sale, but this recipe is not a small sale." Ling'er is more worried that the strength of her own family is too poor, and she can't walk sideways in Baihua Town, let alone in the mixed capital.
"What's the matter, it's a big deal, let's find someone to cooperate." Min'er also knows the truth of Huaibi's crime, but if she is allowed to give the recipe to others for nothing, she is reluctant to kill her.
"How can anyone be so credible? If people deceive us, can we get rid of them? "Ling'er is a mess in her heart now, nothing is easy to solve, thanks to her mental age, if she is really just an eleven-year-old child, she won't be crazy?
"Hey, you have a point, so you mean to sell it? I can't bear it. Min'er said in a low tone, and unconsciously put her hand on the purse hanging around her neck.
"I'm reluctant, let's see the situation then, let's see if we can put some land in the capital or something according to the plan, as for the winery, let's put it aside first, and talk about it when we have the ability." Ling'er came to the capital this time mainly because of Sima Chen's letter, and on the other hand, she wanted to understand the situation here, she didn't want to nest in Baihua Town for the rest of her life.
"That can only be like this, now think about how ghostly this little girl of yours is, if it wasn't for the code you came up with back then, how could we be so relieved as we are now?" Min'er stroked her purse, thinking that even if anyone got this recipe, she would understand it, and the words on it were only known to the two sisters, and others couldn't guess it even if they broke the sky.
"Who made our family an ordinary person, who can bully, what can I do if I don't want to do it?" Now all their important accounts are recorded in pinyin, although it is a little troublesome to remember, but it is quite useful for resource protection. There are not many people who know words in this era, let alone know pinyin, as long as the other party is not crossing, they will not recognize it.
"Ling'er, when do you say we can do whatever we want, and stop being so frightened?" Min'er's words reminded Ling'er of the fact that in modern times, people often say that they make money selling cabbage and sell white powder, and they felt quite sad at that time. As a result, after arriving at this Dafeng Dynasty, I found that this place was even more terrifying, and if I was not careful, it would be a broken family. Why are the common people poor? The main reason is that they can't protect their property and the safety of their families, and they talk about everything in the background, just like if they hadn't hugged Sima Chen's thigh, they wouldn't have been able to open a shop in the county.
