The coachman hired by Lin Xiaozhu knew where the carriages and horses in the east of the city were, and he didn't need to ask. Out of Shen Garden, he drove the carriage straight there. This carriage and horse dealer is a big business, and it is very formal. There are small houses that specialize in receiving guests, and the carriages are divided into several classes according to their quality and prices; The fare also depends on the distance traveled. When Lin Xiaozhu saw it, she was secretly overjoyed, chose a medium-sized carriage, explained where to go, paid a deposit, and made an appointment with the carriage to pick her up at the inn early in the morning, and then returned to the inn.

At this time, it was getting late, and in order to avoid trouble, Lin Xiaozhu didn't go out, but only asked for food in the inn, and went to bed to practice and sleep after eating. At first, she was worried that the security of the inn was not good, but she listened vigilantly to the movements around her with her eyes open, and after listening for half an hour, she felt that everything was normal, and then she fell asleep with peace of mind.

Yuan Liuniang followed Lin Xiaozhu back to the inn, and then turned back to Yuan's mansion and reported to Yuan Tianye what Lin Xiaozhu had done at this hour. Yuan Tianye heard that Xiaozhu first inquired about the caravan, and then went to Shen Yuan to resign, and his face looked much better. When he heard that Lin Xiaozhu was going to the South China Sea Kingdom, he waved his hand: "You just have to follow, don't let her have an accident." Leave the rest alone. "Call Yuan Wuniang again, "The two of you take turns to follow Lin Xiaozhu, don't leave her." If she's missing a cold hair, you're the only one who asks. ”

"Yes." Yuan Wuniang and Yuan Liuniang bowed and answered. Seeing that Yuan Tianye had no other instructions, he turned around and went back to the inn.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiaozhu got up to eat breakfast, bought some dry food on his body, saw the carriage with the sign of the car dealer coming, checked the license plate with the coachman, and after confirming that it was correct, he got into the carriage and went straight to the city gate.

"Miss Lin, what are you doing so far away alone?" The old grandson of the coachman drove the car on the side. While talking to Lin Xiaozhu. This old grandson is also fifty years old, and Lin Xiaozhu specially picked him in the car dealership, and he looks extremely loyal and honest.

Lin Xiaozhu is in another world. The first time I went far away. I don't know people everywhere, and I don't want to tell people about my situation in line with the principle of being careful. But this old grandson's question. It's like the kind of talkative "brother" I met in my previous life, but I feel more cordial. Again. The two have to get along for a month along the way, and they always have to chat to pass the time. Get along better when you know each other. So she made up a tragic experience: "I have no mother since I was a child, and I live with my father. Some time ago, my father also passed away due to illness, and before he died, he told me to go to Nanhai Kingdom to find my aunt. My aunt married a merchant and now lives in the capital of Nanhai Kingdom. ”

The old grandson believed Lin Xiaozhu's words, sighed and said, "Alas. It's also a poor baby. Look at the girl like this, she is very civil, she speaks and does things in a very orderly manner, and she wants to come to your house to be a scholar, right? You go to your aunt, and if your aunt is a good one, then it's fine; But what can you do if your aunt doesn't want to see you? ”

Lin Xiaozhu was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "It's really not good, come back again." ”

"Well, that's true. There is no endless road. But the girl is not young, find a mother-in-law, and she will have her own home, but she doesn't have to send someone under the fence. ”

Lin Xiaozhu smiled. Noncommittal, he said: "I changed my appearance as a boy in order to make it easier to go out and walk." Although it doesn't look like it, Uncle Sun still calls me Azhu. Anyway, it's not for nothing that sissy boys. ”

"In this way, the old grandson will trespass." The old grandson smiled and answered, and then asked, "Girl...... Oh, no, Azhu, you're going to the South China Sea and get the customs clearance papers, right? ”

"Customs clearance?" Lin Xiaozhu was stunned, "What customs clearance documents?" ”

Lao Sun Tou was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the carriage: "You didn't go to the government to apply for customs clearance documents?" How can you get out of the country? ”

"Do you need to clear customs documents when you go abroad?" Lin Xiaozhu slapped his forehead and scolded himself for being careless. In modern times, you also need to have passports and visas to go abroad, and there were also in ancient times. That Tang Xuanzang, doesn't every place have to be stamped with documents before it can be passed? There is also Guan Yu who passed five levels and killed six generals, that is because there was no Cao Cao's customs clearance documents from the beginning, and he was blocked everywhere he went. It wasn't until Cao Cao sent someone to send documents to prove that they were released all the way. It can be seen that going abroad in ancient times is the same as in modern times, this customs clearance document is a passport, and going to the government to apply for a visa is the same!

She doesn't have the paperwork, what should she do? Lin Xiaozhu frowned.

"Ah Zhu, what do you think is going to do this?" The old grandson drove the car to the side of the road and stopped, "Why don't you go home first, get the customs clearance paperwork first, and then go to find your aunt?" ”

"Nope." Lin Xiaozhu said, "Let's go directly, and then talk about it when we get to the border." When I got there, I saw if I could get a letter to my aunt and ask her to cross the border. If she feels sorry for me and is willing to take me to live at her house, she will naturally help me find a way; If I don't want to, I just go home, and I don't have to bother with any paperwork. ”

"But this customs clearance document must be handled by the government of the place of household registration. You're at the border, and if your aunt is just a civilian, it's not easy to figure out a way to get you across the border. I advise you to think about it. The old grandson persuaded.

Lin Xiaozhu shook his head in the carriage.

The slap she slapped Yuan Tianye yesterday used ten percent of her strength in anger, and there was a red slap on his face at that time. Yuan Tianye must have never been beaten when he was so old, and he lost face by the way, I don't know how he hated her in his heart, where would he send someone to help her eliminate slavery so quickly? This slave status has not been eliminated, she went to apply for customs clearance documents, shouldn't she be arrested as a fugitive slave? Besides, once you go to the government to file the case, whether it is Yuan Tianye or the Emperor Taishang, won't you know where she went right away? Even if they fled to another country, as long as they wanted her to be uncomfortable, it was not difficult. Therefore, she should go to the border of the Northern Yan Kingdom. If you can't get out, you can stay at the border. It's so far away from the capital, so it's safer, right?

Although the idea was decided, I didn't know if I could get out of this city gate. Lin Xiaozhu remembered that when he went out of the city in the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to be guided. She held her heart and asked, "I don't know if I need any paperwork to get out of the city?" ”

"Not really. As long as you're not a fugitive from the city walls, it's okay to go in and out of the gates. ”

"That's good." Lin Xiaozhu put his mind at ease, "Just do as I say!" Let's go. ”

Lin Xiaozhu paid for the carriage, and the old grandson naturally had to obey her. If Lin Xiaozhu listened to his persuasion, he would have to return the car and horse dealership, and the old grandson would also be deducted. He advised her, also out of the goodness of his own heart. At this time, seeing that Lin Xiaozhu did not listen to persuasion and insisted on leaving, the old grandson stopped talking and drove straight to the city gate.

When he arrived at the city gate, Lin Xiaozhu deliberately lifted the curtains, took a look at the city wall, and found that there were three or four notices pasted there, and portraits were painted on them. It's just that it's far away, and I can't see clearly what kind of person is drawn on it.

Thinking about his own situation, Lin Xiaozhu still decided to ask clearly: "Uncle Sun, are the portraits on the city wall all fugitives who killed people?" ”

"Some are criminals, and some are fugitives." There were many people out of the city, and the old grandson drove the car carefully, slowly following behind a carriage, and moved towards the city gate.

Fugitive slaves? Lin Xiaozhu was taken aback. She touched her face and regretted going out so aggressively, without makeup, and in disguise. But it's too late to back down at this point. She also believed that since Yuan Tianye gave her the deed of sale, he would never chase her as a fugitive slave.

The military service guarding the city inspected the carriages one by one, and when he arrived at Lin Xiaozhu's car, he lifted the curtain and looked inside, looked at Lin Xiaozhu, and felt that she did not look like the person painted on the city wall, so he lowered the curtain, waved his hand at the old grandson, and let go.

Lin Xiaozhu clutched his chest and let out a long breath.

Out of the city, the cool breeze blew through the car window, and Lin Xiaozhu suddenly felt in a good mood. She opened the small window separating her from her old grandson and said, "Uncle Sun, you have been driving outside all the year round and have encountered many interesting things, right?" Can you tell me something? ”

"Haha, if you don't want to be noisy, Lao Sun will talk about relieving your boredom." When the old grandson heard this, he immediately opened the conversation. He has been running cars outside all the year round, and he has seen a lot of things, and what he said is more interesting than the travelogues that Lin Xiaozhu read. At Lin Xiaozhu's request, he introduced many local specialties and scenic spots.

Then I sat in the carriage and ran for a day, and the journey was comfortable. Lin Xiaozhu is young, and he is not pampered, he has been bumpy for one day, sleeps at night, and is alive and well on the second day. Lao Sun Tou has walked for most of his life, and he is very familiar with the situation, when to leave in the morning, where to shoot at noon, and where to stay at night, he can find a suitable place to settle within the time period, so that Lin Xiaozhu is secretly glad that he hired the right person.

They walked like this for two days, and at noon on the third day, they went to a place called Wu Zhen to eat.

"Azhu, this Wu town is a famous water town in Beiyan, and the ducks raised are big and fat, and they are the most famous." The old grandson said.

Originally, the driver's food was not in charge of the employer's food, and the employer only needed to take care of what he ate when he had a meal. But Lin Xiaozhu saw that the old grandson was a good person, and when he ate along the way, he had to order a dish of meat, two vegetables and one soup, and asked the old grandson to eat together. Lao Sun Tou pushed and gave in a few times, but he couldn't give in, so he had to accept her love. In this way, he became more and more dedicated to Lin Xiaozhu. Seeing that Lin Xiaozhu is also generous in spending money, he is the most particular about eating, so he recommends local special dishes everywhere he goes.

"Ducks?" When Lin Xiaozhu heard this, his eyes lit up.

Ducks and chickens are both birds, but their effects are very different. Chickens are especially suitable for winter tonic, and the folk are known as "every nine chickens, good health in the coming year". The duck belongs to the waterfowl, and the imperial physician of the Yuan Dynasty, Hu Sihui, said in "Drinking Good Things": "Regular consumption of duck meat is the most beneficial for those who are weak and deficient, edema, eat less, have dry stools, and have low fever." ”

The best time of year to eat duck is summer and autumn. The new ducks of that year are raised until autumn, and the meat is tender and fat, and rich in nutrition. In addition, duck meat is cold, which can remove autumn dryness, and is most suitable for summer and autumn seasons and those who are hot and hot. Therefore, duck is the first choice for autumn food therapy, and other meats such as pigs, cattle and sheep are slightly inferior.

(In the past two days, I have been too busy to investigate in the county.) I can only change it today, and it's so late...... Cover your face! (To be continued)
