Outside the city gates, people and carriages were waiting in twos and threes.

They are all here to pick up the palace daughters who have returned.

Grandpa Bai had already told his daughter-in-law Cui's to pick up Han Chuan, and asked Han Chuan to look for him in the crowd, a black lacquered wooden donkey cart and a woman carrying a food box.

The military attache looked at the past along the green fingers of Han Chuan, and sure enough, there was a small black lacquer donkey cart standing at the door, waiting in front of the carriage was a woman with an unclear face carrying a small arm-length food box - the Bai family in the dining room, he knew but was not familiar with it, it was the cook of the dining room for many years, and the old and young had been in the dining room for several generations, and he was regarded as a head and face of the imperial chef.

Since there is a place to settle down, the military attache asked two more words and handed the sign and household registration book to Han Chuan, and explained according to the rules, "Settle down, go to the first head to back up the name, and now hang it in the Bai family first, if you buy land and a house later, you can move out of the household post." ”

This is the benefit of the Wei Dynasty, women who are not cheap slaves are allowed to have permanent property in their names, if they have permanent property, they can be hung in the name of a single household, but women with clans also have to hang the household post under the name of the clan, and the marriage and funeral are all decided by the clan man. Like Han Chuan, who can't go back to his hometown, he can be courtesy by the official media, and he can also marry, but the constant property in the name of the married person will be classified under the man's name, and there is no clan protection.

Han Chuan said yes again and again.

The military attache saw that although Han Chuan had a lot of powder and putty, he was very aura between his eyebrows, and his posture was also very decent, so he added, "If there is any difficulty, go to Jingzhao Mansion Yin, take out the certificate of serving in the palace, and Mansion Yin will deal with it fairly in accordance with the provisions of the law." ”

The daughters of the palace who returned are all those who have served the noble masters, and they are all through heaven! If it is really difficult, the chief officer in charge also has to weigh whether this person and the palace are inextricably linked, if there is no long eye, which one he collided with, broke through the iron plate when he was back, and was accused of black, but the gain outweighed the loss!

Han Chuan took the sign and walked out with his head buried in his head, walking out from the city gate, and his vision gradually broadened.

There is a long wide street outside the bell and drum tower, the gravel paved, the cylinder bricks paved in the middle of the wide street, it is the place where the horse-drawn cart, the ox cart and the donkey cart walk, the shops are open one after another on both sides of the road, there are also the pickers who pick up the flat burden and shout the goods everywhere, there are also the women who comb a nest of silk in their childhood hair buns and the girls who wear three white makeup walk together in twos and threes, pick up the goods and walk idly.

Those who came to welcome the palace daughters who were released were standing in front of the wide street, about fifty people, and as soon as the palace daughters came out, there were shouts one after another.

"Sister!"

"Sister-in-law!"

"Sister!"

After a while, they went to their own homes and cried together.

Han Chuan saw a familiar figure, it was Mama Zhong of the Huanyi Bureau, and thought about it that day, when the old eunuch released the decree, the first number read a palace person surnamed Zhong of the Huanyi Bureau, Han Chuan didn't know the name of Mama Zhong, so he didn't think about it, and now he saw Mama Zhong wrapped in a big burden and walked quickly to a donkey cart, and before she could speak, she shook it with a woman in a burlap coat, tears rippled, and her mouth called out in a loud voice, "Sister Lian!" Sister Lian! ”

Han Chuan looked at it and pursed his lips and smiled.

Mama Zhong is a good person, um... Good people who love money...

Xiao Qiu'er's death in the dream probably happened after Mama Zhong left the palace, right?

Mama Zhong is out of the palace, it's very good, according to her shrewd energy in the abacus, plus two pennies and a pot of hot water, it must be a rich and generous palace, no matter whether you buy a house or land, you can place a good permanent property for yourself. After working hard in the palace for half a lifetime, it is time to enjoy happiness now.

Han Chuan lifted the burden on his shoulders and walked towards the donkey cart, the woman leaned on the side of the donkey cart with the food box, and when she saw Han Chuan coming over, she hurriedly greeted her, and while taking the burden in Han Chuan's hand, she smiled and said, "But the sister of the He family?" I am the daughter-in-law of the Bai family, you are the closed disciple of your father-in-law, call me sister-in-law! Seeing that Han Chuan had a thick layer of Hu powder on his face, he took a closer look, and the head of Hu Fan seemed to be blue and purple, and he paused, "My sister is tired!" It's good to be out of the palace now, free and easy! ”

She was a very neat woman.

In his thirties, he looks a little like Bai Sixi, with broad cheeks, high cheekbones, small eyes but a god, turning left and right in a slippery way, and he is full of breath when he speaks.

It's just that the lines at the corners of her eyes and the rough cocoons on her hands made Han Chuan a little surprised - the first woman in her early thirties in the palace, not to mention the lines, can't see the slightest flaw on her face!

The first time I saw it, Han Chuan bowed deeply to Cui's blessing, and there was indescribable gratitude in his voice, "You call me Chu'er, and I bother my sister-in-law to pick me up." ”

Cui Shi smiled, "Your own sister is welcome!" Then he pulled Han Chuan into the donkey cart, and the coachman shouted and drove south, Han Chuan lifted the curtain and couldn't help but look out - this was a scene in a dream, she had never seen in her life. The bustling crowd, the lively trading along the street, the sound of you shouting and repaying the price, and the young man in fresh clothes galloping past the street shop and the delicately dressed young lady with silk flowers and gold ornaments, looked out intently.

On the side of the road, an old woman sat on a small stool, guarding a small red clay stove, holding a flat pot, boiling.

The donkey cart drove past the old woman.

Han Chuan smelled a sweet smell.

The old woman was boiling the maltose, the melted thick syrup was bubbling in the flat pot, and the old woman was stirring back and forth in the pot with a bamboo skewer to prevent the pot from sticking.

Han Chuan took a deep breath.

Cui Shi smiled and introduced, "... Sister He hasn't been out of the palace gate, right? The capital is not big, from the Bell and Drum Tower to Jiding Gate is half of the central axis of the capital, the Bell and Drum Tower to Xiangshan is the other half, five or six thousand large and small, our home is in the Iron Lion Hutong, although it is not big, but it is better than near the palace, close to the Guozijian and the six departments, it was the original Emperor Chunzong to reward the dining room, and the dining room was divided into a room to the grandfather of Sixi Grandpa..."

It's said that it's close to the inner palace, it's true.

After two rounds from the Bell and Drum Tower, the donkey cart stopped.

It's not a big deal... It's really...

The door is only a meter wide, as if embedded in the tile wall of an alley, and it has to be slipped in one by one, and if two people want to go in side by side, it will be narrow.

The donkey cart was taken away by the coachman.

Cui Shi was a little embarrassed, "... My father-in-law said that my sister had never been out of the palace, and I was afraid that my sister would be scared when she saw the bustling crowd on the street, so he asked me to rent a donkey cart to pick up my sister. ”

Oh, it turns out that the donkey cart is not homemade.

Han Chuan's heart warmed, although Grandpa Bai always knocked on her spoon, it hurt in his heart, and smiled, "It's not in the way, it's not a golden nobleman, and he also serves the noble master in the palace, and when he says he kneels, he kneels, and when he says kowtow, he kowtows, and he doesn't see anyone!" Sister-in-law, don't listen to the master's nonsense! ”

As he spoke, he followed Cui into the door.

The outside looks small, and when you enter the door, you can see inside... Really small...

As soon as I entered, there were four rooms and a shack, and the shack had a stove burning, and the yard was very narrow and narrow, and there was no wide and spacious place to settle down when a small round well was laid. Although it is small, but the house is very clean inside and out, Cui led Han Chuan to the east side of the box, there is a narrow bed and a small square table in it, there is a small window in the side room, it can be seen that it is specially made of rice paper freshly pasted, the bedding and bed cover, and even the four teapots on the square table are new.

Han Chuan is really grateful, very grateful.
