Chapter 142: Seeing is Believing
"Come on, put this on." After driving a distance, Shi Jin picked a place where no one was and handed the prepared clothes to the young ladies.
The two young ladies obediently took the clothes, didn't ask much, helped each other to change, Shi Jin occasionally took a hand, and saw that the sisters changed into the clothes she prepared, and changed a set themselves.
In addition, Shi Jin also got out of the carriage and arranged the carriage.
The housekeeper is a careful and kind-hearted man, and he prepared a carriage for Shi Jinniang, which has been used by the team for a long time and is a little dilapidated.
He probably thinks that the mother has to go by herself, and there is no life outside, and if the carriage is too good, he is afraid that it will be remembered by others, and it will be a little shabby, and some situations may be avoided.
Shi Jin knew the housekeeper's kindness, and for their mothers, the carriage was still a little new, so it was also transformed.
Everything was arranged, Shi Jin carefully checked it, and after making sure that there was no problem, he set up the carriage and continued to move forward.
At this time, the carriage looked much more dilapidated than when it had just left the Jiang family, and in the eyes of outsiders, this was an object that could replace the legs and feet and provide a little shelter from the wind and rain.
The most valuable thing is this horse, but if there is a chance later, Shi Jin will think of changing the horse, it is best to replace it with a donkey, or change it to a cow, and it may be used in the future.
As for the mother, now they have changed into men's clothes, the eldest girl and the second girl have a little gray on their faces, and Shi Jin is the same, the clothes on their bodies are patched with patches.
In order to appear realistic, she even used some modern makeup techniques, thanks to the previous work in the Jiang family, so that she could have some materials.
Whether it was Shi Jin or the young lady, in addition to the dust on his face, Shi Jin also played some extra shadows, making the lady look bad and thin.
The clothes on their bodies are wide, which makes them look like they are fleeing.
As early as when she was at Jiang's house, Shi Jin expected that there would be this day, and she was quite well prepared and planned the route, so she only needed to follow the route to get to where she wanted to go.
Shi Jin chose a town.
She thought that by following the Jiang family's team with a cheeky face, she could also rub a piece of the road, which would make it more convenient for her to get to where she wanted to go.
But she is unwilling to sell herself to the Jiang family, even if she can follow with a cheeky skin, I am afraid that life will not be easy.
It won't be worse left or right, so it's better to take the children with you.
Anyway, she is also the heroine of the book, and she should have some protagonist aura.
——
When Meng Chang led the people back to Kyoto, it was already five days later, Shi Jin had already been gone for five days, and the people of the Jiang family had also entered Beijing.
"Madam, Young Master Cousin is back." The housekeeper and Fang's mother both followed Mrs. Jiang into the capital, and at this time, the housekeeper came in from outside the house and said back to Mrs. Jiang.
"Really? Bring him to me. Mrs. Jiang had been thinking about Meng Chang, and when she heard that he was back, she hurriedly put down the account book in her hand and asked the housekeeper to bring someone over.
There was no need for the housekeeper to go, so Meng Chang entered the house and saluted Mrs. Jiang.
"Chang'er, what are you doing here? Why are you coming back now? Makes me worry to death. Mrs. Jiang stepped forward a few steps and helped Meng Chang up, she looked at Meng Chang carefully, and saw that he had only lost some weight, so she couldn't help but pay more attention.
"Worried my aunt." Meng Chang said apologetically, he didn't expect to go for so long this time.
"You kid, if you have anything next time, send someone to send some news back, so that I can be relieved." Pulling Meng Chang to sit down, Mrs. Jiang muttered.
She and Meng Chang's mother are sisters of the same mother, and when the sister is no longer there, Meng Chang is like her son.
In the eyes of outsiders, Meng Chang is Mrs. Jiang's nephew, but everyone who is familiar with it knows that Mrs. Jiang has always asked Meng Chang to call her aunt.
If it weren't for Jiang Hui's title, Madame Jiang would have handed over the entire Jiang family to him.
"Yes, I wrote it down." Meng Chang hurriedly agreed, he accompanied Mrs. Jiang to talk, and when Mrs. Jiang saw that he was tired, she asked the housekeeper to take him to rest first.
Now that the people have returned, there is always time to speak.
After saluting again, Meng Chang left with the housekeeper, and he lived in the Jiang Mansion where his mother lived in the past.
"What else does Young Master Cousin command?" After sending Meng Chang back to the courtyard, the housekeeper asked that he had already asked people to prepare food and hot water, which would be delivered in a while.
"I'm tired of asking Mrs. Shi to help make some snacks and send them, just the few things I usually eat." Meng Chang didn't know that Shi Jin had already left the Jiang Mansion.
"Young Master Cousin, Mrs. Shi has already left." The housekeeper responded, and Meng Chang looked at him in surprise.
"When you came back, you must have passed through the checkpoint and arrived outside the city, and you also knew that there were restrictions outside the city, and not everyone could enter the capital."
The housekeeper said again, yesterday he chatted with Fang's mother, and talked about the outdated brocade, and the two of them were very worried.
"I know all about this, but the lady ...... Did my aunt let her go? Meng Chang only thought about it for a while, and then figured out the trick.
If not, how could she go?
"Yes." As a housekeeper, he didn't have much to say.
"How long have you been gone?" Meng Chang also knew that the housekeeper was in trouble, and asked again.
"It's been about four or five days, and I don't know where I'm going now." The housekeeper did not hide it, and told Meng Chang what he knew.
"I know, I don't need anything else, there's work." Since Shi Jin is not here, the dim sum she will make, if she wants to eat it, she can only go to Jiang Hui's cook.
Meng Chang thought about it, and simply gave up, and after the housekeeper left, he summoned his little servant and asked him to inquire about it, to see who knew Shi Jin's whereabouts, and it was best to check where she had gone now.
For Shi Jin, Meng Chang admires it, not only because of some of her things, but also because of her talent, those stories, he has never heard of in the past.
Because of this, he was willing to help her more.
Meng Chang thought that if he could find Shi Jin and the two children, he would ask her if she would like to work under him, and he could arrange a place in Beijing for the mother to live in.
As long as Shi Jin can write more stories in his spare time, and occasionally make some food for him.
Or, if she doesn't want to, he can also help her settle in Beijing, and it's up to her to do what happens after that.
The little servant received the order, first according to Meng Chang's words, rest in the Jiang Mansion for one night, and then leave Kyoto the next day to find Shi Jin's traces.
At this time, Shi Jin temporarily found a place to settle down, ready to take the two children to rest for a while.
The team that followed the Jiang family before, although they could hear about the situation outside, they didn't see it with their own eyes.
Now that she has left the Jiang family, she is on the road with her two children, and she has really seen the situation outside, which is far more serious than she thought.
What is written in the book is very different from what she really saw, if it weren't for Shi Jin's constant preparation, she might really be at a loss right now......
