It is now approaching October of the imperial calendar, the weather is not too cold, and the farmers on both sides of the official road are harvesting crops, a bumper harvest scene.

After Li Ziyu and Lin Tianshu converged, the group traveled all the way without too much delay on the road. Because Lin Tianshu himself was accompanied by five guards of the Lin family, the team became more and more powerful after the two sides converged. Lin Tianshu did not ride a horse but sat in the carriage, and his carriage followed closely behind Li Ziyu's carriage, not because it was convenient to speak, but because Lin Tianshu wanted to protect their brothers and sisters as soon as possible if they encountered any accidents. Although he knew that they might be on par with Mr. and Mrs. Long, or a little taller than him, he still chose to be closer to them, so that he could feel at ease.

There were no accidents on the road, they stayed overnight, and only three times in half a month they missed the camp and camped in the wild, because Li Ziyu was well prepared, and everyone did not suffer much. Therefore, this group of people, regardless of the master and servant, did not feel much labor.

On this day, they came to Pingzhou, a medium-sized town, and Zichun and Zixia, who were waiting for them at the city gate, led them into the city through the east city gate.

Chai Bin had sent Zichun and Zixia to book the inn in advance a day ago, so the group went straight to the Ping'an Inn on Hankou Street under the leadership of Zichun and Zixia.

This Ping An Inn is a three-story building with a backyard, and Zichun and Zixia have chartered the entire inn for convenience. When they arrived at the inn, it was the beginning of the day, and it was already getting dark.

Li Ziyu and the others had been running around for a day, although they were also very tired from sitting in the carriage. So after getting out of the carriage. Li Ziyu just wanted to take a hot bath, eat a full meal, and get a good night's sleep. Just haven't waited for her to tell me. I heard Chai Bin say to the shopkeeper who greeted him: "Little Er, send hot water to each room first, and we have to wash up before eating." Dinner is more hearty, fish, meat and vegetables are indispensable, and it would be better if it was convenient to boil another pot of soup. ”

"Great! Guest officer, please inside, guarantee your satisfaction! "The second shopkeeper is a clever boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, and he listened to Chai Bin's words. Knowing that today's guest was a rich man, he hurriedly agreed, bowed down and walked inside.

Li Ziyu took her younger siblings out of the carriage. The subordinates followed to pack up the packages, and the carriage was led by another shopkeeper to the backyard.

Li Ziyu took Xiaolan's hand and walked towards the inn with her younger siblings, and just took two steps, she suddenly stopped. turned to look at Lin Tianshu who was walking behind him. asked, "Brother Lin, aren't you in a hurry?" I want to stay here for a day, everyone is tired from the continuous rush, and I will go on the road again after a day of rest, do you think it will be okay? ”

Lin Tianshu nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I agree." I'm not in a hurry, and it's okay to take a day off. This Pingzhou is located on a major transportation route and extends in all directions. Very bustling to look around. It's also good to gain some knowledge. ”

When Li Ziyu saw Lin Tianshu say this, she was naturally very happy and took everyone into the inn.

Along the way, Chai Bin was responsible for arranging accommodation, the little maids and guards were sleeping in the Chase Shop, and Lin Guotian and Chai Bin were arranged single rooms. Lin Guotian and his wife have a single room, Chai Bin and his wife have a single room, Chai Xiaoxue and Xiaoyuer have a room, Ao Nan and Gu Yun live in a large room, and the four mothers-in-law live in a large room, Lin Zhu, Lin Qiu, Chai Xiaochun and the guards also sleep in a big bunk.

Li Ziyu took Xiaolan to live in one room, Xiaoshan took Xiaohu to live in one room, and Xiaowen took Xiaowu to live in one room. They didn't let the maids and servants serve them closely, mainly because they were not used to it. Since the eldest girl and Xiaocao followed Xiaoou to get married, Li Ziyu has not bought anyone else in the family. The reason why I bought someone at the beginning was mainly to let my subordinates take care of the family's laundry, cooking, farming and other work. They are really not used to following their subordinates all day long, and they don't even have any privacy.

However, as the distance from the capital got closer and closer, Li Ziyu knew that he had to adapt to the general environment here no matter how unaccustomed he was. So, she plans to stay here for a day, go to the people here to have a look, and buy a few people. Not to mention anything else, the maid must be bought. There is only one maid by his side, Xiao Yu'er, although there are still Bingyun and Chunbai in the capital, but compared to other people's families, there are still fewer maids in their own house. Of course, Ao Nan and Gu Yun are also maids, but since they knew Xiaohu's background and knew that the two of them were here to protect Xiaohu, where did Li Ziyu dare to call these two?

Fortunately, these two knew that they couldn't show it too obviously, so they usually couldn't see anything.

Everyone washed up in their respective rooms, had a full meal, and rested in their rooms. Ah Quan arranged the guards on duty at night, and seeing that there were no omissions, he jumped up to the big tree near the third floor with peace of mind and personally guarded the little masters.

After breakfast the next day, Li Ziyu took her younger siblings downstairs, and when she walked to the lobby on the first floor, she saw that the shopkeeper from last night was respectfully following a woman about thirty years old, whispering something.

Li Ziyu saw this woman sitting lazily on the Taishi chair at the front desk, her eyes slightly closed as if she was not listening, with a double knife on her head, a golden hairpin inserted in her hair, wearing a smoky tight-sleeved elastic brocade long skirt, black brocade trousers on the lower body, and a pair of deerskin thin boots on her feet. This dress looks like the dress of a practicing family. Li Ziyu's mind was racing, and she thought of asking the shopkeeper last night that their proprietress was not at the inn and had something to do. Presumably this is the proprietress of the Ping An Inn, right?

Li Ziyu sincerely admired this proprietress in her heart, and knew that she was definitely not an ordinary person. It was impossible to open an inn in ancient times without connections, and it was not necessary to have any backstage. I'm going to leave tomorrow anyway, no matter what her background is, don't you just provoke her?

Thinking of this, Li Ziyu walked over with a calm expression and stopped in front of the woman.

The little second turned around smartly and greeted warmly: "Miss, young master, are you going to the street?" Need a little lead the way? ”

Li Ziyu bowed lightly to the woman, said hello, and replied, "No need, let's just walk casually." ”

The woman glanced at Li Ziyu and the others, and when she saw Ao Nan and Gu Yun, a trace of different color crossed her face, and her eyes swept over Xiaohu's face without a trace, and she suddenly stood up from the chair, and said to Li Ziyu enthusiastically: "This young lady, in this Pingzhou territory, there is no place that I Miao Cuihua doesn't know." If Miss wants to go somewhere, why don't you let our little two lead the way? ”

Li Ziyu sensitively sensed the woman's abnormal behavior, and took a few steps forward to block Huzi behind her. If she was not mistaken, the woman stared at Huzi just now. Huzi's life story is only known to a limited number of people in the family, could it be that the eldest prince leaked the news? Otherwise, why did this woman stare at the tiger? When it comes to Huzi's safety, she has to think more than once. (To be continued.) )
