The carriage continued to sway, and Lin Meili was drowsy, when she heard the coachman: "Huh" stopped the carriage and said to the car: "Childe, Miss, there is a family in front, do you want to drink hot water, rest and then hurry?" ”

After hearing this, Lin Zicong asked, "How many days will it take to get to the capital at this speed?" ”

The coachman replied, "We will be able to reach the capital in two days." ”

Lin Meili had been in the car for a day, and she had already had back pain, and she wanted to get out of the carriage and take a walk, so she said to Lin Zicong: "Seeing that it's almost time to eat, I don't know if there is an inn near here, so it's better to give some silver and let this family cook a meal for us, and let's rest and pick it up." ”

After hearing this, Lin Zicong felt that this proposal was good, so he went to the house with Ding Xiaojiang to knock on the door and discuss. I saw that the person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman, and when I heard that the person who came claimed to be a scholar who was going to enter Beijing to take the exam, and saw that these two people looked decent, I hurriedly went back to the house to discuss with my man. Lin Meili also came over at this time, and after a while, she saw the couple greeting each other, Lin Meili saw that the couple looked kind, so she stuffed two taels of silver into the woman's arms and asked her to prepare a table of meals. Where did the woman think that she could get so much money for cooking a table of meals, she was also a sincere person, and immediately caught an old hen in the chicken coop and killed the stewed chicken soup.

The people in the back carriage also entered the house, the small courtyard of the farmhouse was not big, and there were now 10 people in their group, and it felt like the courtyard was crowded all at once. The middle-aged man moved the dining table directly to the courtyard, and went to the next door to borrow some food and a few chairs. After a few days of traveling, everyone hasn't had such a hot meal for a long time. Lin Meili also drank the fragrant chicken soup, and sighed in her heart about her encounters in the past few days.

After resting for a while after dinner, he planned to continue his journey, but he didn't think about it, the middle-aged woman walked in with a little girl who was about 10 years old, and knelt down when she saw Lin Meili and said: "Girl, I am a good person when I see you, this is my second daughter, who is 13 years old this year, and I want my daughter to follow you in the future." ”

Lin Meili was a little dumbfounded when she heard this, is this a direct sale of human beings in broad daylight? Her previous good impression of this woman disappeared all at once, and she said angrily: "This is your own daughter? ”

"Our family's conditions are really poor, she is 13 years old, but she looks younger than her peers, I think she can still eat if she follows the girl." The woman said these words with tears in her eyes, and her sad expression did not seem to be fake.

When Lin Meizheng didn't know how to refuse, she saw a group of children running in, among them six 7 or 8-year-old boys who were dressed exactly the same and cried and said, "Mother, don't give away Sister Erya, we can all skip eating." ”

God, this is simply a realistic version of the gourd baby brothers. Lin Meili roughly counted, 6 boys who looked similar plus the second sister in their mouths, and the eldest girl was about the same age as Lin Meili, and the youngest girl in the arms of the middle-aged man was about 3 years old, a total of 9 children, this couple is too capable of giving birth.

The tsundere girl stood aside and listened impatiently, so she said: "Isn't it just for you to bring more people, what's so difficult about this, if you don't want to, let her follow me back to the Zhenguo Mansion to be a little maid." ”

Lin Meili ignored the words of the tsundere, but asked the kneeling little girl with some sympathy: "Your name is Erya, right?" What do you think? ”

"Miss, I'm willing to follow you." After the little girl finished speaking, she kowtowed directly to Lin Meimei.

Lin Zicong on the side also couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Big sister, let her follow us into Beijing, anyway, there is no one around you to serve, with her with you, I can rest assured when I go out to do errands." In the end, Lin Zicong came forward to solve the matter, and gave Erya's parents 10 taels of silver, and took this little girl named Erya to the capital together.

Lin Meili didn't expect that she could rely on the blessing of this lobby brother this time, and she could leave Lihua Village and look around the scenery of the Xinguo Dynasty. The closer you get to the capital, the more prosperous the scenery becomes, and everyone is looking forward to arriving in the capital day by day, so as to witness how the flowers are preached at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

After more than a month of driving, the group finally arrived in the capital. The coachman also said excitedly: "Childe, Miss, look, those two words Beijing." We finally arrived in the capital. ”

After sitting in the carriage for so long, Ding Xiaojiang would have been impatient, if his father hadn't let him ride a horse, he wouldn't want to sit in the carriage all day like a girl. Seeing the word "Beijing", even the sister and brother in the carriage behind them hugged each other excitedly and cried.

"Sister, are we really going home? This time it's not going to be deceived again, is it? The little fat man hugged his sister and cried uncertainly.

"No, we're really going home this time!" The tsundere girl has been worried all the way, and this time she finally let go.

Lin Meili also stood at the front of the carriage excitedly, looking into the distance and imagining the prosperity of the capital in the mouth of the fat shopkeeper, and Longfeng Town is naturally another world. Arriving in the capital also means that they finally don't have to rush anymore, and everyone can have a good rest.

"Big brother, we're finally here!" The brothers of the Li family also leaned on the carriage window excitedly and looked out.

"Yes, brother, look at it, the gate of the capital is magnificent, and the soldiers stationed there look so vigorous." Li Weiming also happily pointed to the city gate and said.

But the tsundere muttered in her heart: a group of hillbillies. But he said: "Thank you for your help along the way, now you can send us back to the Zhenguo Mansion directly, my father and mother have not heard from our sister and brother for so long, they must be in a hurry." ”

The little fat man also cried on the side and echoed: "Yes, I really miss my father and mother, I will never run around again." ”
