Chapter 519: The Way (Page 1/1)

On the official road in late November, there were not a lot of cars and horses.

Even if the rain and snow block the road, it can't stop the wanderers from returning to their hometowns, and everyone wants to return to their homeland before the lunar month, so as not to miss the ancestor worship of Laba.

If there are some families with a family background, accompanied by female dependents, and several carriages in succession, it is not uncommon.

The official road near the outskirts of Beijing is quite spacious, even if the two sides are facing each other, the horses of Gu Yunjin and his party do not need to slow down, they can pass by rubbing this side.

Running so fast, out of Gyeonggi, there is no such good work.

On this day, until there was no light in the sky, he settled in a village on the side, and set out again at dawn the next day.

By the end of the evening, the sky was overcast, and it seemed that the snow was about to fall again.

The carriages and horses in front of him were not moving fast, and several carriages were coming, Jiang Muyuan raised his hand to signal the people following him to slow down.

Gu Yunjin saw it and pulled the reins, slowing down Chasing Yun.

Gu Yunyan walked to Jiang Muyuan's side, his eyes fell on the cars and horses that were staggered in front of him, and said, "Look at this day, I'm afraid that the wind and snow at night are not small." ”

Jiang Muyuan bowed his head and said, "If you go for another hour, it is better to take Daoming County, find an inn to rest for one night, and set off again tomorrow when it is dawn." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yunyan couldn't help but think about it, and felt that the idea was feasible: "According to what the little grandfather said." ”

The capital goes to the north, and the mountains are high and the road is far away.

If you usually drive the carriage slowly, it is common to walk for two months, and when the long house entered Beijing last year, it was after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it was not until October that it arrived in Beijing.

And Xue Ping returned to Beijing to report the news, because of the fast horse whip to hurry, day and night without stopping, the mount is a thousand miles of fast horse, one person and one horse just hold on to a breath, less than three days, rushed into the capital.

Besides, Xue Ping's luck is good, he has not encountered wind and snow blocking the road in the past few days, and it can be regarded as a smooth journey.

Jiang Muyuan and his entourage rushed to the north, and they planned to arrive around the tenth day.

First, the horses needed to breathe, and the road conditions were unclear at night, and it was inconvenient to hurry, so they went to the Northland to do things, and they could not be tired, and the group was tired, but it was dragged down.

Second, there will be wind and snow in the past few days, the road to the north, the closer to the north, the worse the condition of the official road, the snow is small but there is no hindrance, if the storm and snow still insist on fast horses, it is a risk for nothing.

The most important thing is that when they encounter the victims, they will spend some time gathering information and searching for people.

We are ready to spend ten days, and everyone understands that sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, and instead of walking at night in the wind and snow, it is better to have a good night's rest, and hurry up when we set off tomorrow.

In addition, the village where I stayed yesterday was also crowded, and in the end, there was a large bunk for men and women, so it was really not a good night's sleep.

Zhu listened to Gu Yunyan's words, and was a little apprehensive in his heart: "If we take Daoming County, will we stagger with the people who returned to the capital to defect?" ”

Ge Shi said: "I'm not afraid. If the family is on the way to the capital, counting the time, most of them have not been to this area, if they really arrived here, there are no foreign enemies here, and they will not be in danger, even if they pass by us, they can also arrive in Beijing smoothly. ”

This is reasonable, and Zhu's jaw responded.

After the carriage and horses in front of them passed, the group raised the whip again and went to Ming County.

Ming County is a small county near Yecheng, the place is not big, because it relies on Yecheng, compared with the general small county, it is quite prosperous.

Han Lei went to Ming County first to find a foothold, and the rest of the people followed.

When they arrived outside Ming County, Han Lei led them into a private house.

Gu Yunjin handed over the horse to Jingyu, turned his head and asked Jiang Muyuan, "Isn't it a guest house?" ”

Jiang Muyuan said: "Han Lei said that there were not enough empty houses in the inns in the county, so he borrowed this house. The house belongs to a friend of mine, he is not in Ming County now, we just borrow it for one night, and we don't need to be polite to him. ”

The person who borrowed the house said this, and the Gu family didn't say much, and simply turned around.

The house is only one entry, but fortunately, there are a lot of rooms on the left and right, and there are generally bed quilts, dishes and chopsticks, and there is no dust.

When you go out, no one is so particular, just clean up a little.

Nian Xia took the initiative to do things, went to the firewood room to find a broom and dustpan, swept all the snow in the yard to the root of the wall, took a rag, and wiped it everywhere.

Pang Niangzi boiled hot water, mixed it left and right, and it was almost ready to eat, so she sent it to the masters.

Gu Yunjin rubbed his hands and stood in the room for a while, a bowl of hot tea was down, and the whole person was much more comfortable.

Her riding skills are not outstanding, but fortunately, she walks on a fast horse, she doesn't pay attention to whether her posture is beautiful, whether she can play tricks on horseback, as long as she is stable, Gu Yunjin can keep up with everyone's speed, but when she comes down during the day, it is inevitable that her waist and legs will be uncomfortable.

Zhu Shi saw it in his eyes, smiled and said to her: "I think you can't sit still now, instead of standing here stupidly, why don't you take a walk in the alley with me?" ”

Gu Yunjin responded with a smile.

The two sisters-in-law greeted Gu Yunyan, then went out of the courtyard gate, walked from east to west in the alley, and turned back from the west exit.

The sky was getting more and more gloomy, Gu Yunjin glanced at the little candles that were lighting up one after another on the side, and said, "Let's go back." ”

Zhu did not respond.

Gu Yunjin turned his head to look at her, but saw that Zhu Shi was looking at the cars and horses passing on the street for a moment, and his eyes were full of dullness.

After a long while, the Zhu family came to his senses, smiled at Gu Yunjin embarrassedly, and said, "Those people just now, I vaguely heard it, it seems that they were sending New Year's gifts to Beijing. Our family's New Year's gift departed from Beijing at the beginning of the month, and now, it's probably the return trip......"

There, there are the New Year's gifts for the old lady and the other two rooms in the Gu family's room and the fourth room, as well as the gifts selected by the Zhu family and the Ge family for their mother's family.

There are also many servants like Nian Xia who have relatives in the Northland, who have saved up for a year's silver, buy some things that the family likes, write a letter to the family, and bring a piece of silver to the family who gave the New Year's gift, and send it back together.

And this year, the gift of this car will not be able to reach the Northland.

Gu Yunjin grabbed Zhu's arm and persuaded softly: "The third sister has a sentence that is very right, sister-in-law, you think, you are sad that they can't receive the New Year's gift now, but on the night of the accident in the north, at least they don't have to worry about your safety." ”

They can now be sad about what they have encountered because they are still alive, and only when people are alive will they have countless possibilities.

Zhu pursed his lips and smiled lightly: "I'm a person, I've never had a heart and lungs, this emotion is not suitable for me, let's go back, eat and sleep early, and continue to hurry tomorrow morning." ”

Gu Yunjin answered, and before she entered the courtyard, she saw Nian Xia coming to look for her with a strange face.

"What do you look like?" Gu Yunjin stretched out his hand to rub Nian Xia's face, "Did you see someone with two noses?" ”

Nian Xia didn't smile, and spread his palm in front of Gu Yunjin, with an earring on it.
