Chapter 10 Embark on the road

After lunch, Zhu Mingyang and Cuicui tidied up their salutes and boarded the carriage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhu Mingyang is still driving a carriage for the first time, and it took a long time to master the skills.

"Brother Zhang, we'll have a meeting later." After speaking, Zhu Mingyang pulled the reins of the horse and walked towards the city gate, leaving Zhang Shuo who waved goodbye.

"Hey! It used to be **silk, and I couldn't even afford a house, let alone a car. Now he has become gorgeously rich and handsome, and he can also share the same car with the goddess. Thinking of this, Zhu Mingyang suddenly felt that it was actually good to be able to survive in ancient times. Along the way, Zhu Mingyang kept telling Cuicui about China after a thousand years, Cuicui listened intently, sometimes frowning, sometimes laughing, sometimes surprised, and finally came out of her sadness. The two talked and laughed along the way, but they didn't think the road was too far, and they rushed to the boundary of Jingzhou for three days.

"May I ask the old man, how far is it to go to Jingzhou?" After a morning car, Zhu Mingyang didn't feel tired, and just happened to be greeted by an old man carrying firewood.

"Childe is going to Jingzhou! Jingzhou still has a long way to go. However, there is a market town on Wuli Road, the town is called Wugu Town, and the son can rest for a while. Then cross the Yangtze River along the official road to reach Jingzhou. The old man put down his burden and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Thank you, old man! There are a few copper plates here, and the old man takes it for expenses. Zhu Mingyang looked at the old man who was still working at this age, and couldn't help sighing, the ancients had a hard time.

"Childe, I can't help it." The old man hurriedly bowed his hands.

"Grandpa, you have to get it." At this time, Cuicui in the car poked her head out and showed an innocent smile. Because she remembered her grandfather.

"Take it, old man farewell!" Before the old man refused, Zhu Mingyang whipped the horse's buttocks, the horse's hooves flew, and he carried the carriage away with a neigh.

Zhu Mingyang walked away with the carriage for I don't know how long, suddenly a market town on the plain rose from the ground, overlooking the distance, although the market town is not very big, but there are many houses, densely packed with a thriving atmosphere. Zhu Mingyang hurriedly quickened his speed and walked towards the village.

As soon as he walked into the market town, Zhu Mingyang was attracted by the scene in front of him. Although the town is not big, it is very prosperous, although it is not as good as Yuezhou, but it is much more lively than Yufeng Village, the town has horse dealers, inns are all available, and the streets are full of shouts with different accents. Zhu Mingyang found an inn and tied the horse.

"How many people are there? Whether it's a tip or a stay. Before entering the door, a young boy came over to say hello.

"How far is it from here to Jingzhou?" Zhu Mingyang did not answer Xiao Er directly.

"Out of the town, you can drive along the official road for half a day to reach the ferry, and you can cross the river to reach Jingzhou." Xiao Er seemed to be very honest, and did not plan to let Zhu Mingyang stay and stay, and "slaughter" him by the way.

"Then get us some food, the two of us." After speaking, Zhu Mingyang rolled up the curtain and helped Cuicui out of the car.

After a while, two side dishes were placed on the table, and the meal was paid. Zhu Mingyang and Cuicui continued on the road, and just as the two walked out of the village, one stopped the carriage at this time. I saw that this person was fat-headed and big-eared, wearing gorgeous clothes, with a piece of jade on his belt, and a package in his arms, which seemed to be a person with status.

"Childe, can you give me a ride, the axle of my carriage is broken." After saying that, the man pointed to a leaning carriage next to him.

"We're going to Jingzhou, I don't know where my eldest brother is going?" Zhu Mingyang didn't expect that there would be people hitchhiking at this time, and he didn't seem to be very happy in his heart.

"Oops! I also went to Jingzhou, the same way! Or I'll give you a tael of silver. The visitor was afraid that Zhu Mingyang would not be willing, so he took out a little broken silver from the package.

"The silver will be free, and sit next to me." After speaking, Zhu Mingyang sat down to the left, leaving an empty seat. The visitor got into the car at once, and it didn't seem to be affecting his movements.

Although he was not interested in this fat-headed and big-eared person, Zhu Mingyang still chatted with him a lot. It turned out that this person's name was Jia Da, the richest man in Wugu Village, who was doing grain business in Wugu Village, and wanted to buy goods in Jingzhou, but the axle broke before he left the village, but he didn't want to delay time, so he took Zhu Mingyang's carriage.

Not long after, Zhu Mingyang arrived at the ferry in a carriage, only to see an endless stream of boats coming and going on the wide river. There are also many boats on the ferry, but there are no big boats for horse-drawn carriages, and at most they can only be allowed to get on horses.

"Brother, don't you know, this ferry connects the south to the north, and it is very lively. There are several ferrymen at the ferry port alone, and you can sell the carriage. The ferry has crossed the river to Jingzhou, and there is no need for a horse-drawn carriage. Seeing that Zhu Mingyang was in trouble, Jia Da hurried over.

"This ......" Zhu Mingyang didn't seem to have thought about it yet.

"Otherwise, I have an acquaintance who is ferrying at the ferry, and you sell him the car to pay for the ferry, and lead the horse to the boat, can you?" Jia Da is really a businessman and has a bright mind.

Zhu Mingyang thought to himself, it seems that this is the only way. So he got out of the car with Cuicui, led the horse and Jia Da to the ferry. It was probably afternoon, and there were not many people ferrying, and there were only Zhu Mingyang and the three of them on the boat. The boatman rowed across the river with the oar. The boatman was a man of about fifty years old, wearing a hat, and Jia Da kept talking, and seemed to be acquaintances.

Blowing the river breeze, Zhu Mingyang seemed to remember the drowning two months ago, while Cuicui fell asleep leaning on Zhu Mingyang's shoulder, as if she was too tired to travel these days. I don't know how long it took, the boat stopped steadily, but I saw a city standing by the river not far from the riverside ferry, which was very magnificent, and the word "Jingzhou" was written on the head of the city.

"It's finally here! Hurry into the city, and lock the gates at three o'clock every day. As soon as Jia Da got off the boat, he urged Zhu Mingyang to enter the city.

"Aren't you going into town with us?" Although Zhu Mingyang didn't like this Jia Da, he still asked politely.

"Little brother, Zhao Si and I still have some things, and we'll be there later." As he spoke, he pointed to the ferryman, and it turned out that the ferryman was called Zhao Si.

"Then we'll have a date later!" After speaking, Zhu Mingyang and Cuicui led the horse to the city gate......
