Chapter 1123 It's All About Life
"What's more?" Seeing that Jun Changning wanted to speak and stopped, Guangxiu was a little anxious. But Jun Changning just didn't say anything about it.
The palace car slowly stopped, and someone outside reported: "The wind and snow are too big, and the sky is late, so it is not appropriate to continue moving." There is an inn on the side of the road, so let's stop at this inn tonight. ”
The road to Hangan and his relatives was too far, and the princess's honor guard could not be played all the time, and the team put away the honor guard after about half a month, neither disturbing passers-by nor making their line too conspicuous.
In order to be fast, although it is also an official road, it is a small official road, so there are not many towns and towns that pass by, and there are even fewer post houses, most of the time they rest in the inns opened by the people, and even have the experience of sleeping directly in the palace car.
Jun Changning walked out of the palace car with the support of Guangxiu, and frowned at the small inn. This place looks like an inn, and it's clearly a broken house built casually. There are few bricks and tiles, all of them are made of wood, and you can't freeze to death if you live in such a house in this weather?
While pondering, a woman of about thirty years old came out of the house, holding a long handkerchief in her hand, and when she saw so many people stopping at the door, she was startled at that time, and asked tremblingly, "Do you want to stay in a hotel?" I'm too small to fit you guys. "Take a look at Jun Changning again, this is the spirit, "Yo, this big sister can live, look, the girl who is more watery, come down quickly, it's cold outside, go into the house with your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law will make you a pot of tea to warm up." ”
As he spoke, he was about to come over and pull Jun Changning, Jun Changning frowned and hid, but still walked to the small broken house. Anyway, there is warm tea to drink, which is much better than staying in the palace car. That's it, endure it for a while, it is said that there are not many days left until Hangan.
The woman neatly made tea for them, and asked her men to go to greet the men who couldn't get in outside, so she pulled a stool and sat down and said to Jun Changning: "Although there is a sign of accommodation, I really can't call it an inn here, but I have built a few more rooms in my own house, thinking that it is convenient to have a convenient relationship with the guest officers who come and go, and I can also earn some silver, so I am called an inn." So don't pick the big sister, let's make do with it, anyway, it's just one night, and you'll definitely have to leave early tomorrow morning. I have three spare rooms in my house, I will pick the best one for you to live in, and you can see who of them can come in and live in the rest. She looked out as she spoke, "There are so many people that you can't even squeeze in on the floor." ”
Jun Changning didn't have the heart to meet those people outside, so he only said: "Just take care of me, don't pay attention to those people outside, they can live as they like, and you can just collect the cash when the time comes." After saying that, he got up, "Where's the best one?" ”
The woman hurriedly took her to the inner room, and Guangxiu followed, and none of the soldiers who saw her off outside followed.
However, there must be a secret whistle to protect it in the dark, so no one is worried about the danger of the inn.
The inn manages a dinner and a breakfast, but it is all home-cooked meals, and it is not so particular. But fortunately, because of the cold weather, the meat was frozen, and there was a lot of it, so the woman chopped a cabbage and stewed the bones, put a big bowl and served it to Jun Changning, and the rest of the pot was brought outside for those soldiers to eat.
Jun Changning has been accustomed to eating ordinary meals along the way, and sometimes he can't find a place to stay, so he can only eat cold steamed buns in the palace car. So when I saw that I could still have bones to eat, I felt that the food was still good, and I was relieved a lot.
I sleep on a big kang at night, although it is hard, but it is warm. In the past two months, she has added a rule to perform a curse on her knees on her bed, facing west, before going to bed and waking up every morning. The cursed person is Bai Heran, and the content of the curse is: "Gods, Buddhas, devils, and monsters, no matter which way you hear what the Shinnu Jun clan said, please show your magical powers and help me get my wish." I wish that the white crane was miserable all her life and died miserably, and I wish her to be abandoned by her husband, separated by her relatives, betrayed by her subordinates, and scolded by her friends. May she mourn all her life, and may all the sins I have suffered today be inflicted on her. I'm going to curse her for not dying! ”
When this curse is over, she will lie down in peace, close her eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
It's the same process almost every day, and Guangxiu has become accustomed to it, but tonight she has been thinking, what does the "what's more" that the sixth princess didn't say? After going to Hangan, can you really start a new life?
There was a burden that Jun Changning held in her arms day and night, and she said that there were thoughts she brought out of the palace and things left to her by her mother, so no one was allowed to touch it or take it. Even sleeping had to be cuddled, Guangxiu tried several times to take off the burden after she fell asleep, but as soon as she touched the burden, Jun Changning would wake up immediately.
Guangxiu always felt that there was something wrong with that baggage, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. Is it because there is something important in the baggage? If so, she wanted to know what something was, but how to support Jun Changning?
In the early morning of the next day, Jun Changning and Guangxiu sat in the outhouse and ate porridge. A little meat foam and salt were put in the porridge, and the greens were gone, and the greens were more expensive than the meat. Fortunately, there are still some dried radish, which are soft and delicious.
Jun Changning put her burden in front of her and carried it, holding a spoon in one hand and protecting the burden with the other. Halfway through the porridge, when I looked up, I saw that the woman and the proprietress of the inn had come out of a small room next to her, with the buttons on her collar and her waist loose. Her man lifted the curtain in the back kitchen and asked, "Up?" ”
She nodded, "The guests in the back room want water, you boil it and send it in." ”
"Done." The man lowered the curtain and went back to the kitchen to boil water. After a while, the water boiled, and the man carried it to the small room, and when he came out again, another man followed him.
That man, Jun Changning, knew him and was the leader of her family sending team, and at this moment the owner of the inn was still asking him: "Are you still satisfied last night?" If you're going to leave a day late, ask her to come and stay with you tonight. ”
The leader frowned, glared at the man, and then glanced at Jun Changning, and saw that Jun Changning didn't have a particularly big reaction, so he said in a deep voice: "No, I'm going to leave today." With that, he threw a large ingot of silver dollars to the man, and the man's face bloomed with joy, and he sent the leader to the door of the inn.
When the leader arrived at the door, he turned around and said to Jun Changning: "Hurry up and eat, we have to hurry after eating!" ”
Jun Changning didn't squeak, and when she saw that Guangxiu had finished eating, she asked Guangxiu to go to the palace car to clean up first, while she herself was still sitting at the table, waiting for the woman to clean up and come out again, so she waved at the other party.
The woman came over happily, and naturally pulled a stool and sat down opposite her, leaned over and asked her, "Big sister, what is the matter with me?" Is there not enough porridge to eat? If it's not enough, I'll give you another sheng. ”
"No, no need, I'm already full." Jun Changning stopped her words, and at the same time lowered her voice, and asked the woman, "Are you and the owner of this inn two people?" ”
The woman was stunned, "Of course it's two, we both have children, ten years old, and we follow our grandparents in our hometown!" ”
"Have children?" Jun Changning was puzzled, "Then you still ......"
"Oh, you mean that?" The woman pointed to the little room and smiled, "It's nothing to tell you, but it's not a glorious thing after all, if you are really curious, I can talk to you about it if you give me some silver." ”
Jun Changning tugged at the corners of his lips and took out a piece of broken silver. The woman was a little too little, Jun Changning snorted coldly: "I just listened to the fun, this is a lot, after all, you didn't accompany me for one night, I won't give you a whole silver dollar." ”
The woman put away the broken silver, and then told Jun Changning: "Actually, I did that, opening an inn and providing some needs for the guests at the same time, earning an extra amount of silver to subsidize the family." ”
"Then your man will ignore it?" This is the last thing she can understand, this is not just ignoring it, this is simply an accomplice.
The woman laughed when she asked, "What's the matter?" He came up with the idea at first, but I didn't do it at all, and he beat me a few times, and then it didn't matter if I did it. There is no way, the family is too poor, people in my hometown will starve to death every ten days and half a month, if we don't earn more silver, the old people and children will have nothing to eat. Alas, people always have to live, and if they want to live, they can't have a face, as long as they can get out of this face, you see, won't this silver be in hand! ”
When the woman said this, she looked outside, and saw that no one was paying attention to this, so she lowered her voice and said to Jun Changning: "I revealed to you a piece of news, I heard that person say it last night, and I guess it is related to you." But you know, it takes silver to hear the news, you see......"
Jun Changning gave her another piece of silver, this time it was bigger than the last time, and the woman was very satisfied.
"I was talking to the man last night, and he told me that they were on a mission this time, and that they were going to hand you over to someone. It seems that I want to go to the northernmost side, and I wonder if the northernmost part is not Hangan? I asked him if he was sent to Hangan, and he said yes. I said that the snowy mountain is very difficult to climb, and there will always be people dying on that snowy mountain, so I told him to be careful and not to take risks. He told me that he would not go up the mountain, but that when he was almost at the foot of the mountain, he would hand you over to the person who came from the other side to pick you up, and they would take you up the mountain. So big sister, you see, these people who sent you are not going to be sent to the end all the time, and the road behind, life and death depend on yourself. ”
Jun Changning's heart sank again, he had long heard that the relatives were not sent to Hangan, and there would be a Hangan pick-up team to pick up the relatives in Dongqin. But I also heard that it was a etiquette only for queens, and it was a scene that could only be seen when the second princess got married.
And she is the successor, and there is no Hangan person to pick her up, and she has to send the princess of Heqin to go over the mountain, and she can really send it over the snowy mountain.
She always thought that she was going to follow these people from Dongqin to climb the mountain together, but how could she say that there would be Hangan people to pick it up?
