Chapter 103: Hong County
After returning to the palace, Manyu carefully recalled what Situ Shao had said.
Why is Ruan Linlang surveilling?
The emperor must have thought something about her.
You must not sit still and let Ruan Linlang snatch the emperor like this.
It seems that this Ruan Linlang can't stay, so she has to find someone to make her, so as not to enter the palace to compete with her for favor in the future.
Ruan Linlang and Ruan Qingchen sat in the carriage and rushed all the way to Hongxian, and rushed in the direction of Hongxian when they got out of the city gate.
Who knew that the mud on the road made her a little desperate, with their current location, there are still thousands of miles away from Hong County, and the carriage will naturally reduce a lot of time, but the key problem is here, it rained in this part of Hong County two days ago, causing the soil on the road to become muddy, and the road is soft and collapsed and not easy to walk at all.
Even the wheels of the carriage sank into the earth, which was really a curse for the heavens and the earth.
"We're going to find a way to get the wheels out of the carriage now." Ruan Linlang looked at the wheels that were deep in the dirt and felt a little desperate.
Ruan Qingchen said that Ruan Linlang was right, "Let's hurry up." ”
So Ruan Linlang, Ruan Linlang, her father and the coachman pushed the carriage hard in the back, not pushing each carriage up, but sinking the wheels of the carriage deeper.
Ruan Linlang stared at the wheel that had fallen into it and thought for a long time, there was still such a long way, and he couldn't walk over.
She thought of a good idea, and brought a stone, and found a large, thick stick and put it on the stone against the wheel, and the coachman who was strong could pry the wheel.
After several attempts, the carriage finally loosened, and after the carriage was freed, the three of them got back on their way.
Ruan Linlang kept watching the weeds growing along the road rise higher and higher, "Dad, do you say that the people of Hong County are not doing well?" ”
Ruan Qingchen nodded emphatically. "Yes, although Hong County and several other counties are relatively close to the capital, it is Hong County that is the poorest."
She subconsciously pursed the corners of her mouth.
What was Situ Shao's intention in asking them to come to this place?
Hongxian is much worse than she remembers, there are no fragrant cars and BMW in the capital, and there are very few vendors.
The coachman said. "We all live on hard labor, although not as good as ever."
"It's okay, just stay for a few days, and we'll go back." Ruan Linlang comforted her father.
It's not that Ruan Linlang dislikes this, but he just thinks that the difference between this place and the capital is too big, hasn't Situ Shao thought about managing this place well?
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little sad in my heart. The people in the palace are all clothed and fed, prosperous scenes, most people don't know how to save food, but the people here can't even eat.
She, the queen, is really ashamed of these people, and she really regrets that she didn't bring more silver taels out, saying that she can buy some good things for them in this way.
"Dad, I'm not in a hurry to leave, we still have to finish the affairs of Hongxian County first, so that the people here can eat and drink well."
Seeing Ruan Linlang's firm face, he was relieved. Think of it as coming out to experience life.
The coachman thought that she was a rich woman, and he would not worry about these things of the people, and even thought that Hongxian was very bad, but he didn't expect that she was a knowledgeable person.
"Girl, I think you're a little girl. It's better not to do something useless, the cooperation is to take care of us this morning, and we don't have to wait until today. ”
Hearing this, she was stunned.
When they got out of the carriage, everyone seemed to know that they were from the capital, because there were almost no carriages here.
Those who can sit in the carriage are either officials or people with heads and faces.
They watched together, carefully looking at the carriage, in fact, it was very simple, a simple carriage had nothing.
Even so, it was attacked by the people.
"The relationship between the people in the capital is strong, and the carriages are better than ours."
"If it's not good-looking, can it still be the person sent from the capital?"
Ruan Linlang subconsciously glanced at the carriage, there was no pattern on it, just a few simple pieces of wood.
"Hmph, how many of these officials are good?"
They said Ruan Linlang and Ruan Qingchen stunned, what do these words mean?
After the taunt, everyone dispersed.
They didn't know where the county order was, and they didn't come out to pick them up. Ruan Linlang randomly found a passer-by and asked: "Hello, auntie, I am from the capital, I want to ask the county ......."
Before Ruan Linlang could finish speaking, the eldest lady directly raised her hand to stop her from talking, and hurriedly ran to the side to hide far away. "I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me."
Ruan Linlang was curious, and when he was about to pull another passer-by to question, the county magistrate happened to rush over, and he hurriedly ran over sweating.
"I'm really sorry, Lord Ruan, it's the lower officials who don't entertain well." The prefectural commander held on to his hat that was a little crooked.
How could Ruan Qingchen mind him, and salute him in return: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as the person arrives." ”
"This is the eldest lady, she really looks extraordinary, and at first glance she is a noble person." The county commander Chao Ruan Linlang bowed his hand and bent over.
Ruan Linlang nodded. "We've all been on the road for the day, so take us to a resting place."
The county magistrate agreed, and took them to an inn. It can be regarded as the best inn in Quanhong County, and Ruan Linlang didn't see what was good.
But it looks comfortable, simple and generous, there is no dust on the table, so it's okay to barely live for a few days.
When the prefectural order was taking them on a tour, for some reason, the customers in the store suddenly walked out in unison, regardless of whether they paid or not.
Ruan Linlang and Ruan Qingchen thought it was some activity outside, so they didn't ask.
The shopkeeper didn't want Ruan Linlang and them to come to live here at first, but they were all allowed to live in because of the amount of money given by the county order.
Ruan Linlang just entered the inn on the first day, this inn was empty, and no one came in to eat or drink tea when it was time to check out, as if the entire inn was covered by them.
"Shopkeeper, what are you going to eat here?"
They traveled for a day and ate almost nothing.
The shopkeeper's face was a little not good, and his tone was slightly mocking: "Our Hongxian County is a small place, and there is nothing to eat to entertain you." ”
Ruan Linlang just wanted to refute but was stopped by Ruan Qingchen.
Let him not be angry.
"Why don't you just watch the first few dishes, and we'll eat whatever you serve." Ruan Qingchen was polite.
"Our best is white porridge and a few stir-fried vegetables, you can eat it if you can, and you don't eat it."
After saying that, he walked straight into the kitchen.
Ruan Linlang: "??? ”
