Chapter 23: On the Way (5)

The people went to their lodgings with this question.

The vigil was left in the wagon, and many of the people chose to spend the night at other villagers' homes.

When Wanling fell asleep, Qian said Lu Yingfang's question today, and asked Aunt Gu: "Aunt Gu, what do you mean by my mother-in-law?" ”

Aunt Gu shook her head, she couldn't understand Old Lady Lan a little.

In fact, Qian's father, Qian Dezong, had six children, and only Qian was born to the Qian Gu family. Qian Gu's family can't give birth to a son, and there are a bunch of concubines and concubines, not to mention how sad life is. Fortunately, the Qian Gu family is powerful, and Qian Dezong does not dare to divorce his wife.

Qian Gu didn't want his daughter to marry the concubine of the Hou Mansion, but Qian Dezong wanted to cling to the magnates of the Hou Mansion and open the way for the concubine.

So when Qian Dezong received a message from his daughter's companion, he resolutely did not allow his daughter to come back, after all, such a divorce would bring a bad reputation to the family, not to mention that it would affect the unmarried brothers and sisters.

In fact, the carriage that sent Zhuangzi this time was Qian Gu's own intention.

Aunt Gu and the man who drove the car were her companions. In order for them to take care of their daughter, she even promised to release them after five years.

Qian Gu sent people to inquire about the road to transport grain, except for the five thousand taels of silver tickets and a few broken silver for his daughter, the rest was to spend money to buy carriages and necessities for the road.

She knew that these things would not all be used by her daughter and granddaughter, and she hoped that for the sake of this cart of things, Aunt Gu, who was a little knowledgeable in medicine, and a stake who was able to do her duty, Mrs. Lan would be able to treat her daughter well.

Qian Gu was completely disappointed in her husband, she would rather her daughter come back and remarry, even if she married to a country family. But the daughter didn't want to come back with Wanling. Now that she has given the rest of her dowry to her daughter, she no longer cares about the affairs of the Qian Mansion. She handed over the key to her eldest daughter-in-law, explained everything to the housekeeper, and hid in the nunnery in the capital on the grounds of recuperation.

By the time Qian Dezong found out that the house was in a mess and there was not much money left in the account, Qian Gu's had not returned to the house for a month under the pretext of illness.

There are many people who can't figure it out like Qian.

Aunt Bai pushed Lan Yajie, who was asleep next to her: "Jie'er, what do you say this old lady wants to say?" ”

Lan Yajie has been listless since she was suspended, not jumping up and down like Lan Yayu.

She drooped her eyelids: "Who knows! ”

Aunt Bai said to herself: "I have been following the old lady for thirty years, why has this person changed so much all of a sudden?" ”

The old lady is not the kind of person who will take precautions, and now she arranges these things, one by one, not only taking care of the Lan family, but even the people in the army.

Lan Yajie was still silent, her right hand rubbed the bracelet on her left hand, which was still a birthday gift from her husband.

In fact, she secretly saw that night, Yabing's divorced fiancΓ© came to Zhuangzi.

She only knew that the young man surnamed Cheng was a cultivator, and his ancestors had been officials, but now he was down. Although she didn't know who it was at first, she quickly guessed his identity.

The young man surnamed Cheng handed a burden to Ya Bing, but Ya Bing turned sideways and did not accept it.

At last she saw the old lady take the burden in the past, and she didn't know what to say, and the young man bowed down to the old lady.

Then, the old lady and Ya Bing looked at the back of the young man leaving, and they didn't know what the two of them said. It seems that Yabing and the boy are very grateful to the old lady.

She only saw her husband when she took off Xipa. According to the old lady's temperament, the young man surnamed Cheng and Ya Bing may not have met each other, at most.

I didn't expect the young man to chase Zhuangzi here. Then it must be the idea of the teenager's parents to withdraw from the family. This young man is also a sentient and righteous person.

But the husband has never shown up, he was forced? Or is he also afraid that he will affect him?

If he doesn't want to take a break, why not find someone to send her a message.

Aunt Bai saw that she was silent and sighing for a long time, so she simply sat up and pushed Yajie hard: "Are you thinking about him again?" How many times have I told you, he didn't even bring a message, he must have no heart. ”

When she arrived in Youzhou, she had to quickly beg the old lady to find someone for Yajie. Yajie has given birth to a son, and he is young, so it is not difficult to remarry. When Yajie has a child again, she won't spend so much time thinking about the person surnamed Zhou.

Yajie had a faint feeling in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it.

Aunt Bai suddenly said angrily, "Next, what should we do?" We should live well, let them watch, we can't live if we don't leave Beijing. If you don't leave the men in the capital, you can't live! ”

The rain stopped before the hour, and on this night, the people of the village lit oil lamps to eat.

An old lady instructed the daughters-in-law: "Move faster, give fifteen copper plates for a pound of cakes!" It's worth more than a grocery store's dim sum! ”

The youngest grandson came over: "Grandma, I want to have a snack." ”

The old lady bent over and smiled with wrinkles on her face: "Good grandson, we have met a nobleman, these cakes are made for the military master on the official road to eat, and I will buy you snacks to eat when the time comes." ”

The old man Cai, who stayed in the carriage, looked at the bright lights in the village and said with a smile: "When those military masters eat these cakes tomorrow, we don't have to worry about this journey." "With such a big favor, those military masters are all human spirits, so they naturally know how to do it.

Son Cai Meng asked in a low voice: "But the old lady spends money like this, will she cause trouble?" It's too good to feed them, isn't it? Even the people have chicken soup to drink. ”

Old man Cai shook his head: "How much can these foods cost?" The most important thing is to buy safety on the road. These military masters are not stupid, and it is naturally more beneficial to be good friends with the Lan family. I hope it's a little more peaceful! ”

Early the next morning, the Lan family's carriage arrived, followed by villagers carrying burdens.

Last night, Lin Zi came to report that the people in the village were willing to make cakes at night. These cakes are the dry food for tomorrow at noon, after all, they couldn't make a fire to eat yesterday, and there will be no bread to eat at noon today. And most importantly, there is mud everywhere, where is there so much dry firewood for them to cook? There's nowhere to dig a hole!

Lu Yingfang ignored the enthusiasm of the villagers to make money, and received thousands of catties of cakes, but according to the number of people, these cakes are not too much.

There are also some clever villagers who make steamed buns and green vegetable buns out of white flour, which are sold at a higher price than those in the capital.

What about the villagers who said that they were simple and honest? Why are the people in these two villages she met so good at doing business?

Since there will be no villages for a long time, live chickens, slaughtered chickens, and eggs will have to be eaten leisurely.

It's a lot cooler this morning, but the road is not easy.

The journey was very slow, and when it was time to arrive, everyone ate dry and hard cakes when they rested, and the merit value was much higher than when they first got the cakes in the morning.

By the time it was time to trim it in the evening, the floor had dried out a lot.

Lu Yingfang sent Lin Zi to bring food to the officers. In addition to the white flour steamed buns and green vegetable buns bought in the village, mushroom and chicken soup were also delivered.

Fortunately, Lu Yingfang not only made a small stove, but also made a stove with a circle of about 30 centimeters, on which an iron pot can not only stir-fry, but also make soup.

Xing Guan was anxious, every time he ate the food sent by the Lan family, he would think of the eldest lady of the Lan family, and now he couldn't even see the face of the eldest lady of the Lan family, so he could only find an opportunity in the future. Ay!

Zheng Wu said while drinking chicken soup: "In the future, it will be good to have nobles all the way to the grain, and you don't have to worry about eating." ”

An officer said: "That is, the Lan family is so kind, where can the nobles who were with me before take such good care, the Lan family is in charge of our army's two meals." If those civilians and soldiers are sick, it will inevitably slow down the journey, and if they can't complete the delivery of military rations on time, it will be a ......."

What a great sin to kill the head!

The crowd fell silent.

Zeng Mao put down the bowl and said in a deep voice: "The road will be difficult in the future, and this favor will always be returned when the time comes." ”

Yes, the road ahead will be really difficult! Lu Yingfang looked at the map given by the system, and even bought it, they walked for a few days, and it was only one centimeter on the map.

There's still that long way to go...... Lu Yingfang gestured with her hand.

Lv Yingfang: System, what will we encounter next? Hurry up and warn about it.

- Dear, you have a sense of crisis!

That's not because you're unreliable! In addition to merit value, it is merit value.

Lv Yingfang: Tell me about things in the capital.

- Well, the queen mother was very happy after eating the ancient cakes and fish balls, and the emperor was so happy that he decided to give you a piece of land near Youzhou City.

Lu Yingfang's heart was overjoyed, and the voice of the system sounded again.

- But the emperor is still thinking about it, so it doesn't have to be!

Lu Yingfang: Then don't say it!

- I asked it myself.

Lv Yingfang: Let's talk about the fourth! How's he doing?

In the capital, Zeng Zhu looked at his youngest son Zeng Yunshang happily: "The eldest princess said that you should go to the Guozi Prison to study." ”

Zeng Zhu can be the shopkeeper of Deqing Restaurant, and he is naturally very capable. So the eldest princess had already allowed his son to get rid of slavery in the early years, and his son was also smart and had been doing well in his studies. If you can enter the country to study, it is also good to get acquainted with nobles.

Zeng Yunshang was also very happy: "Dad, is it because you did a good job?" ”

Zeng Zhu nodded proudly.

Zeng Yunshang continued: "Everyone said that my father got the recipe for making ice, and he also got 20% of the profit of a certain medicine from Renxin Pharmacy. ”

Zeng Zhu immediately waved his hand: "It's not that my father gets 20% of the profits, it's the eldest princess." ”

Zeng Yunshang: "Dad, what kind of medicine is it?" ”

Zeng Zhu: "It is said to be a Huoxiang Zhengqi pill, which can be taken with you and stored for a long time. I don't know how to do it, but I'll find out in a few days. ”

However, no one expected that the first person to eat Huoxiang Zhengqi Pill was Xing Guan.
