Although Pan'er is not an iron rooster with a hair, but seeing Qi's mother's greedy face, it is obviously like taking advantage, and her heart is still not very comfortable, but thinking that she has to continue to get along with the Qi family after entering Beijing, Pan'er gritted her teeth and directly took a tael of silver and handed it to the coachman.
Helped Lin to get into the carriage, the mother and daughter sat on the mat, lifted the curtain a little, the wind outside blew in, and the air was not so stuffy.
Qi Mei stared at the hat on Pan'er's face, and said angrily: "Why are you still wearing a hat in the car?" Is there no face to see people? ”
Grandma Qi also loved Pan'er, and when she heard this, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Little eyebrows." ”
Qi Mei pouted, pinched the cuffs with both hands, pinched the soft clothes and wrinkled, his eyes were fixed on Pan'er, and he secretly thought that after entering Beijing, he must let his brother teach Lin Pan'er a good lesson and teach her what rules to do, such an ugly woman who does not know etiquette and is greedy for vanity has simply lost the face of the Qi family.
There is Grandma Qi along the way, Pan'er and Qi Mei are not many times, the carriage is very bumpy, after sitting for a long time, people's spirits are inevitably a little bad, she drank some spiritual spring water herself, and did not forget to add a little to the kettle, Lin's face was blue and his lips were chapped and peeled, but after drinking the spring water, he became pink and moist, and his complexion looked a lot better.
Because Grandma Qi is old, when Pan'er took the water bladder to the river to fetch water, she didn't forget to add a few drops of spiritual spring to Grandma Qi's water bladder, and the old man had a smell in his mouth, Qi Mei was very disgusted, and naturally he would not drink the same water in the water bladder as Grandma Qi, so it was just in line with Pan'er's mind, after all, Lingquan water was a rare good thing, and it was a bad thing to drink something like Qi Mei that people hated dogs.
It is estimated that Grandma Qi's body and bones are not good, after drinking the spiritual spring water, the reaction is even greater than that of the Lin family, the whole person is in good spirits, even if the carriage is bumpy for a whole day, there is no fatigue on the face, and after three days to the provincial capital, Grandma Qi didn't even have to be supported by Pan'er, and jumped out of the carriage directly.
Compared with the remote Nianhe Town, the provincial capital is very lively, and there are not many street vendors along the street.
The silk clothes worn by Qi Mei are already the best tricks in Nianhe Town, but the women who pass by around are wearing clothes on their heads and faces, and even their faces are rubbed with fat powder, Pan'er has never seen them, although Qi Mei is high-minded and feels that she is the sister of Zhuangyuanlang, but when she sees the green jade bracelet on the wrist of a girl who gets down from the soft sedan chair, the envy in her eyes is almost impossible to hide.
Pulling Pan'er's sleeve, Lin took out a paper bag from the baggage, which was placed with yards of neat and neat snacks, these cakes are only the size of two knuckles, boxy and excellent entrance, Lin used goat's milk to knead the dough, and steamed out with wild honey to make a filling, tender and soft to eat in the mouth, Pan'er had no appetite, but after eating a piece, she couldn't help but move her hands, and finally ate seven points full, Lin didn't let her eat.
The girl's body and face are very important, if you eat too much at each meal, not only will the lower abdomen be rounded, but also very harmful to the shape of the teeth, plus this cake is slightly sweet, if a mouthful of teeth have cavities, isn't it ugly? In the past, because Pan'er couldn't understand things, the Lin family felt sorry for the child, so she was too tight without restraint, but now she has become a big girl, if she doesn't take care of it well, I'm afraid she will be laughed at after entering Beijing.
Qi's mother gnawed on dry food in her mouth, seeing that Pan'er and Lin's food was many times stronger than that used by her own family, the mother and daughter ate alone, and refused to send it to them at all, thinking that an unfilial and ugly woman like Pan'er had become Chuan'er's wife, Qi's mother was as disgusting as eating a fly, her face changed drastically and she walked in front of Lin's, snatched the paper bag and threw it on the ground, stepped on it a few times with her foot, and directly trampled the cakes inside into mud. Now that her son is the top student in high school, Qi's mother's confidence is also a lot more than in the past, looking at Lin's soft and weak temperament, I can't wait to tear her face directly, and save her from being a shameless hooker all day long, giving birth to an ugly and stupid daughter, I'm afraid it will be retribution!
Pan'er was trembling with anger, Qi's mother was really too deceitful, she really wanted to live a good life, but she would not let the Lin family be humiliated, she rushed forward and wanted to reason with Qi's mother, but was grabbed by the Lin family's wrist, and persuaded softly: "Don't be angry, it's your mother-in-law in the end, where is the overnight feud in the family......"
Although Lin said so, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and reached out to rub the sore forehead, but it made her sad, if Qi Chuan died on the road without a high school champion, it would be okay for Pan'er and Qi's mother to get stiff, but now that Qi Chuan is not dead, the two are still mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and an unfilial hat can crush Pan'er to death, no matter what you do, it is a loss.
Seeing Lin's appearance, Qi Mei sneered, and he didn't dislike the cold steamed bun in his hand that was unpalatable, and sent it to his mouth with his hand, and the smug look at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was overflowing.
Qi's father and mother made a lot of efforts to find a convoy to enter the capital, because they had a lot of people, and if they wanted to enter the capital directly, they had to take ten taels of silver. Ten taels of silver can be chewed by a family of three for a whole year, and if it is wasted on the road, it will be like cutting Qi Mu's flesh with a blunt knife, which makes her extremely uncomfortable. Mother Qi turned her head to look at Pan'er, and just as she wanted to speak, she heard Grandma Qi say, "Didn't Chuan'er send fifty taels of silver home?" Just take out ten taels of ...... to ride in the car."
As soon as she heard this, Mother Qi was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed greatly, and just about to say something, Grandma Qi glared at Mother Qi fiercely, and scolded this old immortal thousands of times in her heart.
From the provincial capital to the capital, even if you sit in a carriage, it takes more than half a month to walk, along the way, even if there is the support of Lingquan, Pan'er's body is fine, but mental fatigue is inevitable, eating cold leftovers every day, sometimes even can't drink hot water, fortunately, she just came to Xiaotian before leaving Shiqiao Village, otherwise she may not be able to stand it after such a toss.
Twenty days later, the carriage finally arrived in the capital.
jumped out of the carriage outside the city gate, Pan'er reached out and helped Lin out, because the boat and car were tiring all the way, not every night there was a place to stay, even if Pan'er and Lin loved to be clean, but there was no time to bathe, so they could only make a basin of water in the room every two or three days, and carefully wiped the sweat stains on the body, but the hair was not washed twice, and now it was greasy and smelly, and the clothes on the body were also covered with mud, and the dirty seemed to have rolled in the mud.
Compared with Pan'er, Qi Mei is much better, she is very squeamish, she is obviously a village woman in Shiqiao Village, but she is like a high-profile Miss Jiao, even on the road, she has to change her clothes every other day, and her face is also wiped white and clean, but it is a pity that Qi Mei is only thirteen this year, and she has no growth at all.
The capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, compared with the provincial capital, the people who live in the root of the imperial city are all holding their heads high, as soon as they see Pan'er and his party, some of them have a trace of superiority in their eyes, and say disdainfully: "Yo, the countryman ......"
Lin Shi was not annoyed, she looked at the majestic city gate, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, she had been in the capital for a full twenty years, and she originally thought that she would never return to this place for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that now she would take Pan'er to set foot here again.
Things are people, and Lin's heart is inevitably a little complicated. When she left the capital, Pan'er was young and didn't remember that she had lived here, because she had stayed in a small place like Shiqiao Village for a long time, even if Pan'er was much more stable after being reborn, she would think about it before and after doing things, and now she couldn't help but show some excitement in her eyes, but fortunately, she was still wearing a hat on her face, and others couldn't see what she was thinking.
Qi Chuan is this year's new champion, and he is not very famous in Beijing, after all, those who won the champion in previous years are already over thirty years old, and Qi Chuan is only about twenty years old, and he looks handsome, with sword eyebrows and eyes like a crown of jade, and his thin and long body has a bit of literati temperament, so that the girls in Beijing are all spring-hearted, and even many adults are ready to catch their sons-in-law under the list, so that the young and promising champions have become their own family.
These Pan'er didn't know, she and the Lin family followed behind Qi's mother, and there was a little guy in a gray-brown short fight guarding the city gate, as soon as he saw these dusty outsiders, and then saw that Qi Mei's facial features were somewhat similar to Qi Chuan, he greeted him, and asked, "Dare to ask, but is it Master Qi's family?" ”
Father Qi has lived for so many years, and it is the first time that he has been honored by others as the master, he nodded blankly, his steps were light, and said: "My surname is indeed Qi, you are ......"
The little guy smiled and said: "The little Qi Nian is the scholar next to the young master, and I invite a few to follow back to the Champion Mansion first......"
While speaking, the little maid swept over Pan'er and found that the woman was wearing a hat on her face, and then thinking about the young master's disfigured daughter-in-law, she had a bottom in her heart. This mother and daughter don't pee on what kind of virtue they have, thinking that the young master took her two into Beijing because he was willing to live with that kind of ugly monster for the rest of his life? If it weren't for the purpose of making a letter of resignation with her in the capital, so as to marry Miss Xu, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who would bother to take such an ugly and stupid woman into the mansion?
Thinking about it like this, the little girl couldn't help but show a little disdain in her eyes, and she didn't bother to talk to Pan'er's mother and daughter.
