After getting into the car, he asked curiously about the handlebar, why is it ten miles away from Yamahara City, and he still has to stay?

The handlebar smacked the cigarette stick and said, "You are outsiders who don't know, this Shanyuan City was originally the old land of the Qi family, and the ancestral ancestral hall is here." Ten days later, the royal family held a ceremony to worship the ancestors, except for the saint, the crown prince and all the princes and princesses had to come, so there were too many people entering Yamahara City for a while, and everyone had to check carefully. The queues that entered the city were lined up for miles. Now it's too late to enter the city, only tomorrow is early, and you have to queue up before dawn. ”

Shirt remembered that the women in the car also seemed to say, "There are many people in a hurry, and the nobles want a lot of embroidery, and they want to go into the city to deliver them." "Dare to love because of this. He asked again, "Are the crown princes and other princes here?" The handlebar said: "I heard that it hasn't arrived yet, but there are also a lot of nobles." "Then, the nobles have to line up too?" A pair of round eyes full of yearning.

The handlebar style laughed: "What can I do!" They entered through the main gate of the south gate, but the people of us and the others entered through the west gate. ”

Shirt said disappointedly: "I've never seen the royal family, and I don't know what it looks like." Heng Niang pointed her head with her head angrily and said, "What else?" Two eyes and one mouth, just like us. Shame on you! ”

The handlebar felt that the scarred woman seemed to be a little disrespectful to the royal family, and thought that maybe she had never seen the world and did not know the awe, so she did not speak again.

When I arrived at Shilipu, a small street was full of people and cars, and it seemed that they were all villagers from all over the country who went to Shanyuan City to do some small business. The handlebar-style familiar road drove the car into an inn, but it was a low-class inn, with a store in front and a night. Everyone in the car got out and walked inside.

Shirt looked at the man's greasy apron and frowned. Heng Niang said: "Shirt, you stand outside with Sister Chen, and I'll go in and take a look." ”

Shirt hurriedly agreed, put down the baggage, put it on the stone mill at the door, and let Sister Chen sit. Sister Chen shook her hand and still stood.

For a while, Heng Niang came out, and said: "Girl, this shop is all a chase shop, about 20 people in a room, why don't we go to another house to see?" ”

Sister Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go." He turned around and walked in front, walking calmly, his posture did not move, but his speed was not slow, and he recognized the way. Shirt and Heng Niang followed closely, and they didn't breathe at all.

Three turns and two turns, and walked to the door of a family. Outside the courtyard gate, a boy under the age of ten was struggling to carry a bag of firewood inside.

Sister Chen looked at this kid intently and didn't say a word.

The boy found that someone was looking at him, and one of them was a beautiful little lady, and his face turned red. I ran towards the courtyard gate, and I didn't want firewood. shouted in his mouth: "Mother, mother, there is someone at the door." ”

There was a hearty laugh in the courtyard: "What's wrong with someone?" What the hell are you yelling about! Then came a woman, with a black face, tall and tall.

Seeing Heng Niang and her party, the people outside the door seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the woman asked suspiciously: "Dare to ask a few ladies what is the matter?" ”

Heng Niang came back to her senses and said tentatively: "Our master and servant three came from the mountains and wanted to enter Yamanu City tomorrow. But this ten-mile shop inn is full of chase shops, and I want to find a place to stay, and the copper plate is given. I don't know if my sister-in-law is convenient? ”

Mountain people? It's not like that. The tall woman looked at the girl in green clothes, although she was dressed in cloth and wood, but she was a noble person with a light breeze, and said: "What do I say, you are all female guests, I am a widow, what is inconvenient about this." There are all kinds of side rooms, but the cover roll can only be used by my small door, I wonder if the guests can endure roughness? ”

Heng Niang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." My name is Heng Niang, this is my girl, Sister Chen, a little girl. I don't know what the lady is calling? ”

The woman let the group enter the door and replied, "The first husband's surname is Wang, and the slave's name is Qin." Everyone calls me Qinniang. ”

He shouted loudly for the boy who had slipped in first to come out and bring the firewood at the door into the house.

Heng Niang and her party entered the main house, and Qin Niang asked, "How many ladies haven't eaten yet, right?" A small slave family, is it okay to roll noodles and eat them? ”

Sister Chen said: "This is very good. I smell the strong aroma of wine in this small courtyard, is Qin Niang making wine? ”

Qin Niang smiled: "Exactly." The slave family's small pot of cooking wine was ...... Princess Pingxi is also very praised! These people love to drink the wine of the slave family. The slave family has lived by this craft all these years. I'll let a few ladies taste it. ”

Heng Niang smiled: "That's good!" It's just that Princess Pingxi really drank this wine? ”

Qin Niang paused and said, "My husband used to be a personal guard under General Qi, and ten years ago, Niangziguan was lost in the first battle. At that time, every time General Qi went out on an expedition, he had to ask his former husband to buy a lot of wine from the slave family, and it was said that the first husband knew the slave family at that time, so he found someone to marry the slave family. The day before the decisive battle, General Qi returned to Shanyuan City to settle the old lady, oh, that is, the current Queen Mother. When I came back and passed by Shilipu, the husband and the princess came to the slave house again, drank a big bowl of the slave wine, and went into battle to kill the enemy. also asked the slave family to keep more wine for celebration after her victory. It's a pity......" she shook her head, turned and went to the stove to roll out dough.

Sister Chen and Heng Niang didn't make a sound, and said in a squeaky voice: "Princess Pingxi is so cool!" can lead soldiers to fight, and can drink, just like Sister Chen! ”

Heng Niang reprimanded: "Talking nonsense again." Sister Nachen is talking about things! ”

Sister Chen smiled: "It's okay, I'll really want to taste it later!" ”

When the face came up, Qin Niang also sat down, let the kid hold a jar of wine, and everyone ate and drank together.

Although Qin Niang is a widow, she is quite refreshing, and after a few glasses of wine, Heng Niang knew that the kid's name was Wang Ji, and he was a posthumous son, and he was less than ten years old this year. Fight with Qin Niang every day, send wine or something. Mother and son depend on each other.

Heng Niang looked at the simple furnishings in the room and asked: "Princess Pingxi is in the first battle, although there are not many remaining generals, but it is not nothing. Why didn't your father-in-law's robe take care of Qin Niang and Brother Ji'er? ”

Qin Niang said in a sullen voice: "The slave family has hands, feet and craftsmanship, and no one needs to take care of it." Besides, there was not much left of the late husband's robe, and later they were all transferred to Tongguan. ”

Heng Niang looked at Sister Chen, who was bored and drinking, and asked, "Then, what about the orphans' families?" I heard that the court has issued a decree, and the court will reduce taxes for the orphans of the soldiers under General Qi! Why don't you care about the court? ”

Qin Niang said: "Oh, it's in charge, as long as you want, King Rui can take care of it, and you can all go to Tongguan to open up the wasteland." I heard that I can give as much land as I can, and I don't pay rent and taxes. Most of the family who had no land, no land, and no craftsmanship went away. The slave family has this wine-making skill, and General Qi also said that women can also reach half the sky, so they stayed. Besides, I heard that Tongguan is freezing cold, and the slave family is afraid that the brother will not be able to stand the cold. Those who remain in the local area of Yambaru will not be taxed. ”

Sister Chen'er was a little drunk and misty, and her eyes were red. Shan'er hurriedly went to the stove room to make sobering sour soup, and muttered: "This wine is so strong, and Sister Chen didn't drink much, so why is she drunk." ”

Qin Niang hurriedly asked Heng Niang to help Sister Chen to the inner room, fetched water for Sister Chen to wash, and asked, "Are the ladies going to Shanyuan City tomorrow morning?" Then rest early, and tomorrow the slave family will also send wine to the city, so let's go to line up early. Did several ladies also go to Yamabaru Castle to do business? ”

Heng Niang said: "No, I joined my family." ”

Qin Niang saw that Heng Niang didn't want to say more, and didn't ask, she replaced the roll with a clean pit and put it in the pit, so she withdrew and went to sleep with her brother.

Heng Niang looked at Sister Chen, who was so drunk that her eyes were red and swollen, and sighed, just as Sister Chen sent sobering soup, supported Sister Chen'er to use it, rinsed her mouth, and the three of them crowded on the pit and muttered all night.
