Chapter 184: On the Road
Although it was said that the fifteenth day of the first month was the end of the year. But Lin Zhu and the others are already making plans to go. News from the capital said that General Chang's grievances had been rehabilitated and the general's mansion had been returned. In order to compensate General Chang, the emperor also rewarded a lot of things. And whether Chang Tianlei is still alive has become the most important issue. Not only General Chang, but even the emperor is also very concerned about this matter.
Because he has not received any news from Chang Tianlei, most of the people in the capital think that he is already more auspicious. And Concubine Lan has never received accurate news, so she is naturally very anxious. Not to mention General Chang, who returned from the calamity.
So Lin Zhu discussed it with Old Man Zhang and decided to set off for the capital on the tenth day of the new year.
Lin Zhu's clothes and jewelry have been handled by Chang's mother and Qian Xuehui a lot in the past two years, so it is more troublesome to clean up, but Lin Zhu is just the time to grow up, so he only asks them to pick up some clothes that they are wearing properly and put them in the box. The rest is decided by Chang's mother and given away. And the jewelry was collected into the space by Lin Zhu, and all the wealth of Lin Zhu was there. This is the safest place. However, in order to cover up, a few hundred taels of silver were also placed outside for emergencies.
Fu Dou'er's things also followed Lin Zhu's practice, so the two of them packed a total of four or five boxes out, and they actually included books in the study.
When Chang's mother saw it, she felt that Lin Zhu was too simple, so she secretly asked Qian Xuehui to let her find more materials after she arrived in the capital, and buy a few outfits for Lin Zhu. Qian Xuehui also learned that although Chang's mother entered Beijing with them, she did not live together. While feeling sad, he also nodded and listened to her explanation.
After everything was packed, together with the carriage of Dr. Zhang's family, a total of ten directions, they all headed for the capital.
Before leaving, Lin Zhu did not inform Lin Changqing and Aunt Li, because he was afraid that the parting scene would be too sad, so Lin Zhu only asked people to send them a letter afterwards, thanking them for their continued care, and hoping that one day, they could meet again in the capital.
Lin Zhu sat in the carriage. Lifted the curtain and looked at the Linjia Village, which was getting farther and farther away. She didn't turn her head until she could no longer see. My heart is very sour.
"Girl, don't be sad, I want to come back later. And he came back. Chang's mother comforted on the side.
"Sister." The other side. Because Fu Dou'er, who went out in a carriage for the first time, has been moving happily. At this time, he also noticed Lin Zhu's unhappiness, and hurriedly called Lin Zhu softly.
"It's fine." Lin Zhu cheered up and picked up Fu Douer's toy tangram and Kong Ming lock. Teasing him, he played. Anyway, these two things were sent by Lu Mingtao, in the past, Fu Douer only played those simple ones, but now Lin Zhu felt that walking in the car was not interesting, so he took them out again. Just use them to train Fu Dou'er's thinking ability and hands-on ability.
Since Lin Zhu said that there was nothing wrong, Chang's mother didn't want to say anything more, so she had to follow her to play with Fu Dou'er.
For the sake of safety, after everyone discussed, they were afraid that someone would recognize Chang Tianlei, so Chang Shi, Chang Tianlei and Chang Tianlei and Chang's mother all made changes, Chang Shi became a coachman, Chang Tianlei became a small servant, all wore coarse cloth clothes, and his complexion became much darker. And Chang's mother always sits in the car, but she doesn't need to change too much, after all, there are very few people who know her, she only needs to change some simple clothes, and her makeup is also low-key.
Walking and stopping along the way, Lin Zhu didn't expect that he was not very suitable for long-distance travel, and after sitting in the carriage for a day, he had a strong discomfort, and he was so dizzy that he vomited in the dark.
For this reason, Dr. Zhang also specially got her some medicinal food, so that Chang's mother could make it for her after checking in at the inn every day, so as to relieve her discomfort.
After only walking for more than ten days, Lin Zhu has lost a lot of weight. However, except for the people in her family, everyone in Zhilu Dao was like an arrow, so Lin Zhu never complained, and endured the discomfort and went on the road with everyone.
"How's the bamboo girl?" Because there are many people, walk for more than ten days, there is one-third of the distance from the capital, this day through a county seat, although the sky is still early, but after here, there is no inn in front of it, just stay here first. It's only around noon. When Dr. Zhang first entered the county seat, he asked people to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and asked them to make medicinal meals and send them to Lin Zhu's room.
"Grandpa, Sister Bamboo has already slept." Because of worry, Zhang Manyun and Zhang Manqing have been taking care of Lin Zhu, so at this time, they stayed at the inn, and the two of them were in Lin Zhu's room.
"Well, later, it will be good for her to wake up and let her eat something." Doctor Zhang asked people to bring the medicinal food back again, and when Lin Zhu wanted to eat it, he would heat it up and bring it over.
"It's so pathetic." Although Zhang Manqing didn't want to see Lin Zhu at first, after living in Lin Zhu's house for a while, he also had some feelings for Lin Zhu. Seeing her so motion sick, it was a little more uncomfortable than choosing a bed by herself, and I sympathized with her in my heart.
"Sister Zhu still wants to go around and take a look, like this, I'm afraid I won't dare to go out in a carriage in the future." Zhang Manyun remembered that Lin Zhu had told her that she wanted to travel through the landscape, so it seemed that she couldn't get her wish.
In fact, Lin Zhu's heart was also very annoyed, she was not dizzy and did not get motion sickness before, but after becoming a child, she was actually tossed by a carriage and looked like a little embarrassed.
"Hmm." It wasn't until dinner that Lin Zhu woke up. Gently stretched in the quilt, feeling very comfortable, before due to motion sickness, the feeling of dizziness was swept away, and even the stomach felt hungry.
She looked around, and there was no one in the room. So he got up, put on his clothes, and went down to the ground. There is actually something in Lin Zhu's space that can make her feel better, but it is still winter, and she doesn't dare to take it out casually. That's watermelon, she collected several in the space in the summer, but she didn't expect it to be broken, and it still kept the appearance of just picking. Therefore, Lin Zhu also got some watermelon juice and put it in a jar.
Take it out and drink it while no one is around. But just as she was about to get out of the space, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, so she decisively dismissed the idea.
"Girl, are you up, are you better? Still dizzy? Still want to throw up? The person who came was Chang's mother, and she touched Lin Zhu's forehead with her hand as she spoke. When she first came in, Chang's mother felt that Lin Zhu had some fever, but now it is all gone.
"Mom Chang, I'm much better. I don't get dizzy anymore. Lin Zhu took Chang's mother's hand and said to her slightly, "But, I'm so hungry, Chang's mother, do you have anything to eat?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's hot for you." Seeing that Lin Zhu had recovered, Chang's mother said happily. "I'll bring it to you. The old gentleman also prepared some medicine for you, and I also asked them to boil it, and you can drink it later. ”
After speaking, Chang's mother walked out of the hall quickly and went to get food for Lin Zhu.
Lin Zhu heard that he was going to drink medicine, his brows were a little furrowed, these are all pure natural Chinese herbs at this time, it looks like nothing is wrong on weekdays, but when combined, the taste is no longer just bitter can be described, because he rarely gets sick, so he has never had the opportunity to try, but he has seen Fu Dou'er's bitter face when he drinks medicine, so Lin Zhu always stays away from medicine.
Just when she was thinking about how to avoid drinking medicine, Chang's mother had already brought the food, and Dr. Zhang, Zhang Manyun, and Zhang Manqing also followed.
"Bamboo girl, how are you feeling now?" Doctor Zhang asked with concern.
"Let my godfather worry, I'm much better now. I don't feel dizzy, I don't want to throw up, and I'm so hungry right now. Lin Zhu was afraid that he would continue to worry, so he tried his best to be cute.
"Okay, you eat first." Dr. Zhang looked at the way she spoke, and he could see that she was indeed much better. People with motion sickness can eat without throwing up, even if they are almost good.
For Lin Zhu, although the food in front of him is much worse than that at home, he has not eaten seriously for many days, and it is very fragrant in his mouth.
"Girl, eat slowly, don't worry." Chang's mother saw that she was in a hurry to eat, and she choked a little, and poured her a glass of water while smoothing her out.
Everyone else thought it was funny when they saw her like this.
"Hehe, I'm so hungry." Lin Zhu raised his head and smirked, and continued to eat.
This meal was eaten quickly, even the rice and soup, Lin Zhu finished eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and burped when he didn't pay attention. She hurriedly covered her mouth, and looked at Chang's mother and the three of Zhang's family, and in their narrow eyes, Lin Zhu's face turned rare red.
"Ha Luha, it's okay, just eat enough." Doctor Zhang laughed twice.
"Girl, the medicine has already been boiled, you can drink it while it's hot." After a while, Chang's mother brought another bowl of medicine.
"Uh," Lin Zhu burped again. "Mother Chang, I really can't drink it anymore, wait a while."
Seeing her like this, Chang's mother shook her head amusedly, and put the medicine bowl on the table, "Then wait and drink." ”
Chang's mother did not have a strong request, which made Lin Zhu temporarily breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. She quietly glanced at the black decoction, and her heart was very frightened.
Doctor Zhang and the others talked to Lin Zhu in the house for a while, and then left, asking her to rest first and strive to sit in the car for a while tomorrow.
"Mother Chang, you've worked hard these days." Lin Zhu saw that Chang's mother did not follow them out, but instead made up the bed for Lin Zhu.
"It's not me who works hard, girl, you work hard, I really didn't expect you to be so dizzy, I used to make a car to go to the town, to the county seat, and there was nothing to do?" Chang's mother thought it was incredible.
"I think it's weird, too." Lin Zhu himself is puzzled, as a modern person, riding a car is commonplace. I don't look like a master who gets motion sickness. (To be continued......)
