Everyone didn't say a word, carrying gouache, and the atmosphere was very silent. Chaolu laid several layers of thick mats on the wide carriage that had been prepared long ago, after all, the road was also very long, and it was inevitable that the road would be bumpy. And the more than 5,000 taels of silver taels that were prepared have already been exchanged for general silver tickets.

This time, Ayuro went on the road in simple clothes, and she didn't bring anything with her, just a few changes of clothes and daily necessities. After the guy carried all the gouache to the back of the car, Junko also put away all the dry food pastries and tea that had been prepared a long time ago.

Chaolu beckoned Junko, hurry up and rest, early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I'll have to get up and leave before dawn. Because they were afraid of being discovered by Liu Qing and they didn't want to experience the parting scene, they had to make this decision. Junko also understood this truth, nodded and went to rest.

Chaolu returned to her resting place and lay down, many things in her mind from time to time. From waking up for the first time to find yourself in this girl named Chaolu, to fighting wits with those unscrupulous relatives, as if these things happened yesterday.

Chaolu was repeating such a dream all night, groggy, finally fell asleep for a while, the sky was already bright, quickly washed up and checked if there were any things forgotten to bring, after packing up, he beckoned the two of them to go on the road.

The rest of the guys watched all the way behind him, and by the time Liu Qing and Li Youqing Chaoyang rushed over, Chaolu had already left for a while. Even if you want to catch up with him and send him off, it's too late, as long as the three of them are good, they sighed and returned to the cloth and clothes.

Shunzi drove the carriage, and the two of them did not have too many twists and turns and bumps along the way, but after walking for a day, Shunzi shouted at Chaolu in surprise outside the carriage: "The shopkeeper, someone has caught up behind, it seems to be the son of the Xu family restaurant!" ”

Chaolu originally wanted to take a nap in the carriage for a while, but before he could sleep calmly, he was awakened by Shunzi's shout, and quickly tidied up his clothes, poked his head out and tried to look behind, and sure enough, Xu Du was riding a horse and galloping all the way.

Junzi also hurriedly stopped the carriage very discerningly, and after a while, Xu Du caught up breathlessly, and gasped for several breaths before speaking. "I heard my uncle and aunt say that you are leaving Tianxiang Town and going to the capital?" Without waiting for Chaolu to answer, he jumped off the horse.

"I chased it for a long time to catch up, and I thought I was going to lose you, but God bless."

Seeing Xu Du get off the horse, Chaolu also got off the carriage. "What are you chasing me for? It's true that I'm going to the capital, but don't worry, I'll be back, and I'll protect myself outside. Chao Lu looked at Xu Du with a puzzled expression, he left so early, he actually rode a fast horse to catch up, how tired he was on the way.

Xu Du didn't rush to answer, but groped in his arms for a long time, took out a thick stack of silver tickets, stretched out his hand and handed it to Chaolu, Chaolu hurriedly stepped back, and said refusingly: "What are you doing?" Don't you use silver in your restaurant? Take it back, we're still friends. ”

Xu Du was motionless, and said earnestly: "As friends, I have nothing to give you, and I can't accompany you to the capital to protect you, you also know that I am just a sister, and if she leaves me, she can't support the restaurant." ”

After a pause, he couldn't help but persuade Chaolu. "If you want to return me as a friend, just accept this silver ticket, I am a man, naturally better than you to make more money, this road is high and long, and I hope you will cherish it without permission." After speaking, regardless of whether Chao Lutong agreed or not, he stuffed the silver ticket into Chao Lu's hand, and then turned around and straddled the horse to leave.

In fact, Xu Du left in such a hurry, not to go back to take care of the restaurant, but he was afraid that he would stay for another second, so he couldn't hold back his desire to go to the capital with Chaolu. And the likes of these years can only be buried deep in my heart.

Chaolu held the silver tickets in his arms and was stunned in place for a long time, but Junzi couldn't help but remind: "Shopkeeper, get in the carriage quickly, we still have to hurry, it's not easy to leave when it's dark." Shunzi can also see that Xu Du has different thoughts about his own shopkeeper, otherwise no one's money will be blown by the wind, so he will give it away in vain.

And it's so much, just look at it at a glance about 10,000 taels, which is enough for many years of living expenses if it is in a small town. The restaurant is also a legitimate business, and there is no profiteering. Chaolu is the shopkeeper, so he naturally understands this truth, so he can only sigh secretly, this favor is owed, and then he got into the carriage.

Shunzi drove the carriage, and walked for most of the day, and when it was almost evening, he finally found a nearby town, Wanhua Town, and the two went to the inn in the town to replenish dry food, and by the way, they rested for one night, opened two rooms, and Chaolu and Shunzi seized the time to rest, after all, they left by driving the carriage early tomorrow morning.

In this way, the two of them worked hard for about half a month before they finally arrived in the capital. Outside the capital, Chaolu rested for another day or two and did not rush in. Junko asked puzzledly: "Shopkeeper, this is the moment, why did we stay here instead?" ”

Chaolu poured herself a cup of tea, and handed it to Junko, a cup said: "Maybe the closer you get, the more scared you are, anyway, we have to be ready to go, rest and go in, so that we can better adapt." Chaolu looked at the tall city wall and the city gate where people came and went, and couldn't help but be stunned.

This is not considered a hometown timidity, but they didn't dare to go in when they arrived at the door, but the two of them had been running for almost half a month, and they really needed to take a good rest. Once this is set foot in the capital, Chaolu is not facing a simple life.

Asaka needs to plan for the future now, think about everything that can be done, and what accidents may happen. Junko was drinking tea while observing the capital. He didn't dare to say anything, because he also knew that the shopkeeper had his own ideas.

"Junko, do you think the girl is good?" Chaolu drank tea, and suddenly asked such a sentence without a head. Junzi didn't think much about it, tilted his head and replied: "Of course it's good, it's as beautiful as a flower, and it's fragrant all over the body, hehehe." I didn't expect Junko to be so sincere, and smiled at Ru's eyes.

Finally on the third day, Fengbian came back with news, saying that he had found a loft to live in, a total of three floors is quite large, just in the middle of the most prosperous Baihua Street in the capital. It's just that when Pan Feng said this, his face turned unnaturally red, and when he saw Chao Lu nodding, he couldn't help but add.

"It's just... Although it is lively, there are also the most hook fences and flower buildings there..."Saying that, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Chaolu, afraid that Chaolu would be angry. Because the most lively place is there, and you can find an attic, there is really no other place to fit.

Chaolu didn't care about this at all, waved his hand and said.
