The departure date is set on the sixth day of the first lunar month of winter.

The weather after the rain was dry and cold, and the wind blew on the face, as if it could tear a hole open at any time, but despite this, Mrs. Xie and Aunt Xie arrived at the same prefect's mansion early in the morning.

Aunt Xie stuffed her with a porcelain white medicine bottle and whispered, "Don't skip the Blood Deficiency Pill prescribed by Imperial Doctor Wu." I have told your cousin that I will send it to you on a monthly basis until you are well. ”

Jin Nian smiled a little embarrassedly and accepted it, raised her eyes and looked forward, in front of the hanging flower door, Aunt Rong and Su Zifeng were already sitting in the carriage, and Gu Yanyi was saying goodbye to her father.

She swept around and didn't find Xie Qian's figure.

Mrs. Xie explained with a smile: "Two days ago, your cousin entered the academy again, and I couldn't come to see you off today, so let me apologize to you." ”

Seeing her frowning slightly, the old lady Xie on the side hurriedly tightened the cloak on her body for her, and said a little sadly: "...... Along the way, you have to take care of yourself, and if you have any problems, just tell the people around you to do it. ”

The tip of Jinnian's nose was sour, and he nodded vigorously.

Old Lady Xie's eyes were slightly red, she squinted and looked around, and said, "The son who is traveling with you, Yushu is in the wind, you have to keep some distance from him......" Brother Qian'er's matter has broken her heart, Sister Nian'er can't have any more problems!

Jin Nian suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, she looked at her grandmother's eyes, Gu Yanyi was wearing a dark color with silver thread trim, and stood at the door, unusually glaring. He had finished saying goodbye to his father, and was standing quietly by the carriage looking at her, as if waiting for her to pass.

Jin Nian's forehead jumped, and she didn't know if her small movements with her grandmother were seen by him?

She smiled at her grandmother and told her to take care of herself, and then she walked to the carriage.

The wheels rolled through the streets of Huai'an City, the curtain was lifted, the Tongzhifu behind him became smaller and smaller, and the figure of the father at the door became more and more blurred.

I didn't expect to come to Huai'an for a month, and she left her father so quickly.

Mama Lin sighed in her heart and said, "Miss, the wind is too strong, put down the curtain!" ”

Jin Nian blinked the mist in his eyes slightly, and glanced outside the car, the carriage had passed through the city gate, and the prefect had completely disappeared.

They were a group of nearly 30 people, walking on the official road, as soon as they left Huai'an City, the road gradually became desolate, and in the fields beside the road, there were dry Shu millet poles.

The carriage was shaky, the weather was cold and windy, Jin Nian couldn't lift the curtain for a long time to look outside, and soon leaned on the carriage and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Sha Quan whispered the curtain in his ear outside: "Sixth Miss, the son said that he would rest here tonight, please get off." ”

Jin Nian opened his eyes, he didn't expect to arrive at the post station so soon.

Picking up the curtain, it was still bright outside, and she asked Sha Quan, "Where is this?" ”

Sha Quan looked to the side and replied, "Gurao Station." ”

This is a small post station under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, located in the middle of Huai'an and Suzhou, Jin Nian remembers, it only takes one day to get from Suzhou to Huai'an, and now it only takes half a day, what is Gu Yanyi doing?

As if knowing her concerns, Sha Quan said again: "Childe said, the days are short in winter, if you rush to Suzhou, I am afraid that the sky will be dark, we have a lot of people, and the post station is afraid that it will not be arranged, it is better to rest early today, get up early tomorrow and hurry, and maybe I can go to Lingbi Station tomorrow night." ”

That is, I don't plan to enter the state station. In this way, it did not delay the time to return to Yangzhou.

Thinking of this, Jin Nian nodded and got off the carriage with Du Juan's men.

At the door of the post station, Aunt Rong and Su Zifeng looked sad, and when Gu Yanyi saw her coming, she ordered Sha Quan to take the name card to stay.

Jin Nian looked around, the Gurao Post Station was very simple, the post station card was an oak board nailed to the door, and the four words of the Gurao Post Station written in black ink on it were all opened, looking at some years.

There are also a few stables in front of the door that are simply made of wood. Upon closer inspection, there were five or six horses in the stable, quietly eating black beans at the moment.

A poster came out to welcome them in: "It turned out to be the family of Lord Su in Yangzhou, I was slack, I was slack, please follow me to the corridor to rest......"

Jin Nian frowned, the post station is generally used for official business, if you don't have an official name, you can't stay casually. Yi Ding just said that Master Su of Yangzhou, then Gu Yanyi used his father's name?

I thought he would use the name of the scholar Gu.

Jin Nian raised his eyes and looked, Gu Yanyi walked in front and was heading towards the corridor.

The corridor is in the second courtyard of the post station, and after the post man sends them there, he will retreat: "...... If you have any orders, please mention them, and I will be in the front yard. ”

Jin Nian motioned to the cuckoo to come forward and give him a few taels of silver, and after thanking him with a smile, he asked casually: "Is there still someone else living in this post station?" ”

Gu Yanyi, who was just about to enter the door, couldn't help but pause when she heard this, and turned her head to look at Jin Nian, but saw that her entire head was buried in the cloak, making it impossible to see her face clearly, but those eyes kept staring at Yi Ding, patiently waiting for him to answer.

What a cautious character!

Is this not his arrangement?

Gu Yanyi tugged at her lips, and finally didn't say anything, and closed the door directly.

The post man over there won Jinnian's reward, and his attitude became more friendly, and he replied to Jinnian with a smile: "There are five or six, and they also came from Huai'an, and they arrived two hours earlier than you, and they all wore short brown. See the horses at the door? That's their mount, I don't want to figure it out, the horse's foot strength is so good, why don't you rush to Suzhou to stay, but you want to live here, this place is not comparable to Suzhou. However, there are rumors that there are homeless people in Suzhou recently, and the world is so good, no matter how many homeless people there are, they are all deceptive rumors......"

Realizing that he was far away, Yi Ding smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Miss, don't worry, they live in the front yard, and no one will come here if they have nothing to do, so you can rest assured." ”

Jin Nian just casually asked for peace of mind, but he didn't expect to hear such a play. When she and Xie Qian came to Huai'an, the journey was peaceful, it was only a month, and I didn't hear of a famine or epidemic anywhere, how could there be displaced people?

I don't know who made the rumor?

She didn't pay attention to it, and asked the post man for two pots of hot water, and asked him to withdraw after asking for the stove.

On this day, Gu Yanyi and Aunt Rong didn't come to her to block her, and Jin Nian comfortably shrank in the room and read the script for an afternoon.

Nothing was said all night.

Before the second day, before the second day, another group of people who had stayed in the house had just come out, dressed in a clear dark short brown, and seemed to be getting ready to go, six horses had been brought out of the stable, and several people were tying their luggage to the saddle.

Another sturdy young man came out of the post station and shouted to the people who were packing their luggage: "Check it carefully, and in half an hour, we will set off again." ”

The rough tone with a thick Liangguang accent seemed unusually abrupt in this place where Wu Nong spoke softly.
