Chapter 13: Hurry

The group had been away from Shangyang for some time, and within a few days, it began to rain in the sky.

Li Jiangwei leaned against the carriage, her ears close to the small window. Suddenly, I heard a strange person in the sound of neat horses' hooves, and I was puzzled, and suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Our shopkeeper wants to remind the young lady that when the weather is cold, remember to add more clothes on the road." ”

"You're worried." Yue Kang replied with a smile: "We received it." ”

With that, the man rode back to the convoy.

The arrival of rain is accompanied by a sharp drop in temperature. Li Jiangwei opened the bag she was holding in her arms a few days ago and took out the autumn-colored silk four-happiness cloak inside.

This is a cloak specially given by the imperial queen who was afraid that she would freeze on the way south.

Because of its origin and the preciousness of the craftsmanship, Li Jiangwei did not want to mix this cloak with other clothes, but wrapped it in her arms alone. Waiting until it's really cold before wearing it is also a sign of respect for the emperor.

The rain was not heavy, but even then it delayed the trip. Because of this continuous rain, they had to stay on the official road.

A tent was erected on the side of the official road where the group of Wenjin Bookstore was skillful, and a fire was lit to rest.

At night, it's even colder inside the carriage. Li Jiangwei gathered the cloak on her body, sighed into her palms, and rubbed her hands against each other.

"Has Miss ever rested?" A girl's voice came from outside the car, "The shopkeeper's order is that I will send a hand stove in." ”

Without waiting for Yue Kang to reply, Li Jiangwei inside said, "Send it in." ”

The curtain of the door was lifted, and the cold wind poured into the carriage, and Li Jiangwei, who was already cold and weak, was a little trembling.

"Miss, hold the hand stove."

Yingzi smiled and sent the hand stove to Li Jiangwei's hands. The warmth of the hand stove instantly dispelled the biting cold, allowing Li Jiangwei to ease up.

"Thank you for me."

"The shopkeeper said that if the young lady wants to thank her, she will keep the maid by her side."

Yu Yongyi must have been afraid that she would not adapt to the bad environment along the way, so she let this little girl follow her to take care of herself. Thinking of this, Li Jiangwei has some mixed tastes.

"If the young lady is unwilling, the maid can go back to the shopkeeper."

Looking at Li Jiangwei's slightly frowning brows, Yingzi was a little overwhelmed.

"You stay. There are many people in this carriage at night, and it is also warmer. ”

Yingzi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The maid has thanked Miss here!" ”

In the eyes of ordinary people like Yingzi, An Yuanbo's Mansion is out of reach. It is a blessing for me to be able to serve by my side, and I am naturally very happy.

Seeing her overjoyed, Li Jiangwei couldn't help but laugh softly, and she was in a very good mood.

"Miss, this cloak is so beautiful." When Yingzi saw this cloak, she showed admiration.

"This is the reward of the imperial concubine, naturally beautiful."

Speaking of the imperial concubine, Yingzi showed a little confusion.

Seeing her frowning, Li Jiangwei couldn't help but ask, "What?" ”

"The maid can't figure out why a woman can be a prince."

Li Jiangwei was surprised and asked, "How did you come up with such an idea?" ”

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Yingzi replied: "If a woman can be an emperor, why are there few female emperors in history." Even if it was the Holy Ancestor, he was originally the Emperor of Liang Waste, and he only changed himself when he couldn't do it. ”

"If the first son of the Holy Ancestor was a woman, Gong Guo would have already had a second female emperor."

Yingzi shook his head in confusion and asked, "But doesn't the current emperor have a sister?" If a woman can really be the emperor, why didn't that princess become the prince? ”

Li Jiangwei asked again: "Do you think that a woman is not capable of becoming a prince, or that a woman cannot be a prince?" ”

Yingzi tilted her head and asked, "Is there any difference between the two types that Miss said?" ”

Li Jiangwei looked out the window silently, this time she didn't reply to Yingzi's words, and Yingzi didn't ask anymore.

The real calamity of the imperial concubine is not in the court, but in the ideas rooted in this land. This is a mindset that will take several generations to have a chance to change.

The emperor is the forerunner.

Li Jiangwei finally understood the joy and joy of Yu Yongqing's mention that day. The heroine in "Overseas Traces" unconsciously became the comfort of Yu Yongqing.

She is looking forward to the day when the world written in Li Jiangwei's book will come. That is not dragged down by other factors, a world where the capable prevail.

Li Jiangwei took out the dry food and nibbled on it and was ready to rest, Yingzi looked at the little dry food that Li Jiangwei ate, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"The maid is also serving tea next door, and the skill of making tea is okay. Eating this dry food is still easy to eat with tea. Why don't I go find the shopkeeper's order for hot water? ”

Li Jiangwei smiled at her and said, "I have nothing to do all the way, so I will break a piece of this dry food and chew it in my mouth." In the evening, I don't feel hungry anymore. You don't have to worry about the shopkeeper. ”

After saying this, Li Jiangwei turned her head and yawned.

"Then the maid will prepare the futon for the young lady."

"Okay."

With company, these days in the car are not boring.

After all, Yingzi is a person who has followed many shopkeepers to the north and south, and told a lot of interesting stories in Li Jiangwei. There was no small table in the carriage, and there was no pen, ink, paper and inkstone for her to write. Li Jiangwei must write down these anecdotes.

The next day, Yu Yongyi calculated the time and itinerary, and looked at the state of the people around him. continue to sleep in the open, and everyone is afraid that they will not be able to stand up.

"Tell me to go down and set out for the station."

After this order was passed down, the people of Wenjin Bookstore were overjoyed. His face was full of joy, and even his voice was much more cheerful. The joy on the side of Wenjin Bookstore soon spread to Li Jiangwei.

"Miss!" Yingzi was overjoyed, "I can live at the post station tonight!" ”

Yingzi, a little girl, is not delicate and beautiful, but she is happy, just like the doll on the New Year's painting, there is a cinnabar mole between the eyebrows. When she smiled, it was easy for Li Jiangwei to laugh.

"The shopkeeper also said that he would take everyone to have a good meal tonight. Everyone has eaten dry food for so many days, and they are already tired of it. When they heard that there was something delicious, everyone's eyes lit up! Yingzi said excitedly: "I feel that this carriage is running faster!" ”

"Isn't it faster?" Yue Kang said with a smile through the door curtain: "Go to the post station early to rest early, everyone is tired after this journey." ”

In anticipation of everyone, the post station got closer and closer, and some people in the convoy even cheered. Although long-distance travel is the norm, I am not in such a hurry as this time, and I have passed by the post station for several days without resting.

It is also the upper room, and the room of the post station is completely incomparable with that of Wenjin Bookstore. Whether it's the size, or the texture of the bedding. Even when Yingzi saw it, she had to ask Li Jiangwei if she needed to take out the bedding in the carriage.

Li Jiangwei didn't want to go through a lot of trouble, so she sent Yingzi to the next door to borrow paper.

Without the sticky notes she carries, many of Li Jiangwei's inspirations can only be forcibly remembered in her head. Li Jiangwei plans to write down some tonight, otherwise it will be difficult to remember the details after a long time.
