"Hired?" Zhao Yunlan saw the three masters and servants come back empty-handed, and everyone's expressions were a little ugly.

"No, I'm just coming back to discuss with my lady......" After Li Mingren finished speaking, Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but sigh again and again.

"That's why you forgot to buy salt, sugar, paper?"

"Huh? Yes! Lady, I was wrong. Only then did Li Mingren remember the purchase arranged by Zhao Yunlan before going out.

"Forget it, you can go again. Let's just follow the dart, we didn't bring any valuable luggage, and the shopkeeper also said that the road has been too peaceful in recent years. Go and give him an answer, and settle the matter. Say hello to the departure time the day after tomorrow. ”

Li Mingren responded and went out again with He Wen and Ye Sheng.

"Remember to buy what we need." Watching Li Mingren go out, Zhao Yunlan did not forget to advise behind.

Li Mingren nodded: "Eh, I know." ”

"Haruka, let's take stock of our luggage today, since we leave the day after tomorrow, we'll have a good rest tomorrow. After that, it may be a little tiring to rush, after all, it will take time with the dart team. Zhao Yunlan said.

Haruka: "Yes, ma'am. ”

He Hua: "Then I'll go and prepare some food, let's eat on the way." ”

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "Okay." ”

Originally, when it was arranged, He Hua was not specially asked to be the cook, but unconsciously, this little girl took over the cooking work by herself. At the beginning, it was also very ordinary, Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but point, He Hua pondered while doing it, and the cooking skills were getting better and better.

He Hua is a diligent girl, when she first arrived at Li's house, Mama Cui didn't arrange work for her, she just followed Qiuyue and a few people to read and write every day, but she just didn't open up at all in reading, so she was very frustrated, and she was worried that she would be forgotten by the master if she didn't send work.

didn't expect Zhao Yunlan to take her to the capital together, which inspired He Hua to want to behave well in front of the main family. So she had to rush to do any work on the road, which made Chunxiang uncomfortable, and it didn't take long for Chunxiang to tell Zhao Yunlan about it.

Zhao Yunlan asked the two girls to chat, and He Hua said: "Madam, I can't read and read, I have only learned a few words so far, and I know that Mrs. and the master attach great importance to literacy, so I think I can perform better in other places." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "What should I do, I do think it's better to be able to read and write, but I don't want to force everyone." If I really don't have the talent for it, I don't force it. If you can recognize your own name, you can recognize our Li family. Little girl, she is not very old and thinks a lot every day, which makes your sister Chunxiang embarrassed. ”

He Hua: "Madam, the slave didn't mean it......"

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Oh, don't think too much, I know you didn't mean to." And as long as I don't make big mistakes in the Li family, I won't sell people here. ”

He Hua: "Yes, the slave knows that Mrs. is the best lady." ”

“……”

Comfortable days always pass quickly, and it's time to set off again. Fortunately, the time is not early, and Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan can still have breakfast with peace of mind.

After eating, a few people left the inn and went to the agreed county gate to meet the dart team.

"Under the surname Lin, this time I am responsible for leading the team, just call me Lin Darthead." A muscular man with a saber stepped forward to introduce himself.

Li Mingren arched his hand and said: "The next surname is Li, and in the carriage are family members." This is my little guy, Ye Sheng, He Wen. ”

Lin Dart arched his hand: "Then let's go." ”

Li Mingren nodded and got into his carriage.

Suddenly remembered that he didn't ask where to go next, so he supported Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng understood and shouted to the front: "Lin Darttou, where will we settle down next." ”

Lin Darttou rode around and said in a low voice: "Lingzhou City, please ask the guests to ask for a place to stay next time when it is quiet." With that, he took out a rudimentary topographical map from his bosom, which looked like the dart game had drawn it himself.

Li Mingren opened it and looked at it, from Shangyang County to Lingzhou City, then to Luo County, and then to six counties, three state cities to reach the capital. After Li Mingren read it, he planned to put away the topographic map, but when he looked up, he saw that Lin Dart's head was still there.

Lin Dart spread his hands, this is to get back the topographic map, this kind of thing must not be given away easily. Li Mingren had no choice but to obediently hand over the map to Lin Dart.

The team set off, and Zhao Yunlan could obviously feel that the speed of the car was much faster than before. After only sitting for a long time, Zhao Yunlan's butt was a little uncomfortable, and Li Mingren couldn't read the book in the car and could only memorize it silently.

"Rest."

Zhao Yunlan finally heard what she wanted to hear, and He Wen also stopped the horse because of these two words.

"Hey, I can't do it anymore, I have to go down and do the activity." Zhao Yunlan said to Li Mingren.

Li Mingren nodded: "I'll also go down and walk around." ”

Zhao Yunlan couldn't wait for Li Mingren, so she jumped into the carriage first.

"Ouch~"

Li Mingren heard the voice and hurriedly got out of the car, "What's wrong?" Wife. ”

Zhao Yunlan frowned: "I've been sitting for a long time, hiss, I jumped down violently, and the tendons on my heels were stretched." It's okay, I'll stand for a while. Hey~"

Li Mingren helped Zhao Yunlan and slowly walked two steps.

"Is it cold?" Li Mingren felt a coldness and asked Yunlan with concern.

"I don't feel cold, but it's getting cold this day, and the farther north you go, the colder it gets." Zhao Yunlan said.

Haruka brought a water bag from behind, "Madam, drink water." ”

This is the hot water that I poured out in the morning, and I was worried that it would cool quickly, so I kept it in my bag and covered it, and there was still a little bit of temperature when I took it out at this time.

Zhao Yunlan took a sip, her feet eased up, and handed the water bag to Li Mingren.

"If you're not in a hurry, you really have to take your time and enjoy the scenery along the way." Zhao Yunlan stretched her waist and said.

Li Mingren: "After the exam, I will accompany the lady to play." ”

Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren and smiled, shook her head and said, "If we are admitted and have to go to the next stage, I think we will not have time to play for the time being." ”

Li Mingren thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

"Prepare to keep going." Lin Darttou shouted in front of him again. I have to say that Lin Darttou's voice is still very good, rich and penetrating, which makes people feel majestic when they hear it.

Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren hurriedly got into the carriage and continued to bump.

After setting off again for almost an hour, Lin Dart rode his horse to the back.

"Li Xianggong, we are going to spend the night in the suburbs tonight."

Li Mingren opened the curtain and looked at Lin Dart's calm expression, and if he didn't want to respond, he could only respond.

Lin Dart just came to inform, and after glancing at Li Mingren, he went to the front.

In the car, Li Mingren was worried that Zhao Yunlan would not be able to accept it, but Zhao Yunlan spoke first to comfort him: "It's okay, it's all like this." It must be that we can't catch the next foothold, and the heel darts we order can only be arranged by others. However, I haven't lived in the wilderness yet! It must have been a new experience. ”

Sure enough, it was indeed a new experience, sleeping in the wild at night, cold and uncomfortable.

Zhao Yunlan took Chunxiang and He Hua to sleep in the carriage, torches were also lit around the carriage, Li Mingren took Ye Sheng and He Wen to sleep outside, and the three of them brought a few stones to put together and barely slept together. Li Mingren and the others are better than the dart team, because the dart team has to take turns to be on duty at night, after all, the personal safety of the darts and Li Mingren and the others still has to be guaranteed.

After sleeping overnight, everyone didn't sleep well, and Zhao Yunlan woke up early in the morning with Chunxiang He Hua. While there was still fire, Zhao Yunlan arranged for He Hua to cook a pot of ginger soup for everyone to drink. Of course, the reason why the fire was not turned off all night was because He Wen and Ye Sheng took turns to add some firewood at night.

Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan simply washed up and ate breakfast and drank a bowl of ginger soup, which made them feel a lot more comfortable.

"Xiaowen, you give Lin Dart head and them to bring the ginger soup over, and let them pour it into the water bag by themselves." Zhao Yunlan commanded.

Howen: "Yes, ma'am." ”

Lin Dangtou looked at the ginger soup brought in, and felt a little grateful in his heart, where did a group of big men go out to do errands, where can they be so meticulous, and they also owe themselves to their good health.

"Thank you, Lee Sang-gong." Lin Darttou took the brothers to look at Li Mingren's side and hugged his fists and thanked him.

Li Mingren bowed back.

When He Wen came back, Ye Sheng and the others put out the fire and put away the things before getting into the carriage. may be the reason for sending ginger soup, Lin Dart's original planned departure time was a quarter of an hour in the morning, but he didn't remember to urge Li Mingren and them at this time.

Lin Dart saw that the carriage behind him was almost cleaned up, and shouted, "Let's go." ”

"Lady, we should be able to sleep in bed tonight. What is wrong with you? Because Yun Lan had been sick once, Li Mingren is worried now.

"No, I feel good, except that I haven't slept enough and my back hurts." Zhao Yunlan said with a smile.

Li Mingren: "You still feel good, I'll give you a rub." ”

Zhao Yunlan, of course, nodded and turned her back to Li Mingren.

The two little girls were still a little embarrassed to sit next to them, so they could only silently lift the curtain and look outside.
