Chapter 177: Went to the county seat
Everyone made arrangements, and on the third day, Bai Yuanan and his family took Ruixue and Mrs. Chen to the county seat together.
It was also at this time that the two elders of the Bai family knew that their third grandson was going to marry the merchant's daughter, but when Bai Yuanan finished speaking, the two elders of the Bai family did not show any objections.
Rui Xue was once again curious about what her grandparents did before they came to Yanxi Village, but since the two old men had never mentioned this matter, it was probably not a good thing, so she didn't want to ask.
The three of them got up early in the morning and went to the town to meet Mrs. Chen, because the Jiang family felt that they should not let everyone in the village know about it for the time being until the matter was settled.
After the four of them converged, they found an ox cart to go to the county seat, and they didn't know if they could walk for a day, and it was such a hot day, and there was such a child as Ruixue, even if they picked two more people, they couldn't pick this money.
got into the ox cart, Mrs. Chen looked at Bai Yuanan and his family with their little girl and smiled: "It's still quite hot this day, why did you bring the little girl too." ”
"The children were clamoring to play with them, so they brought them when they couldn't help it." Jiang said with a smile.
"Hehe, your little girl is blessed, she will definitely be a handsome girl when she grows up in the future, and when the time comes, everyone who talks about relatives from all over the country will break the threshold of your family." Sure enough, she is a matchmaker, and she does not leave her old profession in three sentences.
Hearing this, Jiang could only stiffly laugh and say, "The child is still young, and this matter is still very early." ”
After that, she asked about the situation of the Liufu, and the Jiang family said it before, but she was not stupid and directly said that the Liufu in the town had moved to the county seat.
As for seeing Shopkeeper Liu later, if she recognizes it, it is Shopkeeper Liu's own business, how to say it depends on her own meaning.
To be honest, Ruixue felt that if it was not necessary, she would never have to ride a long way in an ox cart on a hot day in the future, and there was nothing more sinful than this.
Because the county town is far away, afraid of drenching in the sun, this ox cart is nailed to a simple shed, but it is not very ventilated, the four of them sit in it stuffy and hot, there is not only an unpleasant smell of sweat inside, but also a smell of inferior rouge gouache, so that Rui Xue was able to go to the county for the first time The joy is gone, and the whole person has no spirit at all.
After suffering for more than two hours, that is, nearly five hours, they arrived at the county seat, looking at the city gate in front of them, Ruixue didn't wait for the car to stop and said, "Mother, let's go down and walk into the city." ”
Jiang's meeting is no better, this car is more tiring than working in the field, and he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, let's get out of the car and go in, it's the first time I've come to the county seat, this city gate is much higher than the town, and there are city walls." ”
"Hehe, the county seat is indeed much better than the town, here is where the county lord lives, I've only been here twice, okay, then come down and walk in, it's weird to sit and stretch your legs." Mrs. Chen smiled.
After that, the group of four people got off the ox cart directly, and then lined up and walked into the city, but the ox cart could not be dangled on the street when it entered the city, so Bai Yuanan and his family could only take down the dowry on the ox cart and carry it themselves.
Fortunately, this dynasty is quite reasonable for the town planning, as soon as you enter the city gate, it is a street of 'line', and then go all the way to a big crossroads, the west is 'food', the east is 'clothing', and the north is 'live'.
There are shops along the street, and behind the shop is where the people of the county live, as long as you know that behind that street, it is generally easy to find people, and Liufu is behind the street of 'clothes'.
