The three bosses are very talkative, and the mother and daughter rarely speak, the expression is very melancholy, a preoccupied look, occasionally the two will whisper, and do not join in the chat of the passengers, even if it is a meal during the journey, the mother and daughter rarely speak, sitting in the car, as if transparent.

As for the old man who defected to his relatives, his body didn't seem to be very tall, and he was drowsy all day long, and on this hot day, he had to put a sour towel on his shriveled chest when he slewed, and Zhao Yuan was very worried about whether he would be able to survive to Blackwater City.

In the chat, Zhao Yuan noticed some words from the spar merchant, and he realized that the grade of the spar is not inferior spar and the best spar, but there are several grades, in addition to the grade, the size is also divided into several, and the size of the grade directly affects the price of the spar.

The journey was too far away, everyone was very lonely, and Zhao Yuan would occasionally chat with them.

Soon, after more than ten days, everyone seemed to get acquainted, and even the mother and daughter who were afraid of life would occasionally talk.

In a few occasional sentences, Zhao Yuan understood that the mother and daughter were originally well-off, and later several pillars of the family fell ill and died one after another.

Looking at the appearance of the mother and daughter, Zhao Yuan inexplicably felt a trace of sadness, he thought of Baihualou, He Zixiong, and He Ling. At the beginning, their Zhao family also made a doll with the He family, if the family did not suffer great changes, at this time, He Ling may have married into the Zhao family.

The girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, although she looks weak, but she is also born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, very standard, presumably, this marriage should not be difficult, but the mother and daughter are still nervous.

Slowly, Zhao Yuan gradually learned that after the mother and daughter paid the travel expenses, they had nothing to do, and they were panicked, for fear that their in-laws would refuse this marriage, otherwise, they would be living on the streets.

Asked again, Zhao Yuan learned that the family affair was ordered when the girl was born, and later, the family moved to Heishui City, and after that, there was no contact, and the mother and daughter just heard that the in-laws were in Heishui City, and they were already one of the largest families.

It seems that this marriage is also a bit hanging, after all, things are not people, time has passed, and the parents of both parties may have just joked for a while, but more than ten years have passed, and they may have forgotten it long ago, or the man has long been married.

In the Great Qin Empire, fifteen years old is considered an adult, and after performing the rite of passage, you can get married, the larger the family, the earlier you get married, but some ordinary people, most of them get married at the age of twenty.

There is also a very fatal problem, the girl's body is very weak, and she looks sick.

Dafan, as long as the family is slightly better, when marrying a daughter-in-law, they attach great importance to the health of their daughter-in-law, and some large families have strict requirements for height, breasts and buttocks, because those data can be used as the basis for whether it is good to give birth and raise.

In some demanding big families, the requirements for the daughter-in-law are higher, and even the woman's family will be traced to see if there are genetic diseases and so on.

The mother and daughter seemed to realize this, and their hearts were anxious, the girl was under a lot of pressure and became more and more emaciated.

At noon today, they happened to arrive at a post station to settle down for dinner, and everyone discussed a break to avoid the most vicious sun at noon. After getting out of the car, the mother and daughter hung their heads and sat in the corner, preoccupied.

"Xiaocui, sit down, brother will order you something delicious. Zhao Yuan greeted the girl, and during this time, he had already learned that the girl's name was Xiaocui.

The fare of this canopy carriage is 18,000 imperial coins, although the meal is included, but the diet is not very good, and it only fills the stomach, and has nothing to do with the quality. Businessmen go out, they all want to make money, as long as they can eat enough, but no one cares, even those few rich bosses can make do with food.

Of course, if you are really greedy, you can also add a few dishes by yourself, during this time, Zhao Yuan and several bosses will add a few dishes to eat together, but the mother and daughter, neither add vegetables, nor eat the dishes they add, every time they eat, they are on the table with some dishes to eat, and they return to the stuffy carriage after eating in a hurry.

"We ...... There is no money......" Xiao Cui glanced at Zhao Yuan timidly.

"Come here, it's okay, Brother Yuan is rich. Zhao Yuan smiled.

"Nope. Xiao Cui secretly glanced at her mother beside her.

"Auntie, Xiaocui's health is too bad, you must eat better, otherwise, this weather is hot and the road is far away, I'm afraid it will be ......" Zhao Yuan walked to Xiaocui's mother's side.

"Xiao Zhao...... We...... We don't have extra money to eat......" Xiaocui's mother looked gloomy.

"It's okay, although Xiao Zhao doesn't have much money, he can still afford a few meals, we don't want anything else, let's raise Xiaocui for nothing and be fat first, and when the time comes, when we meet our in-laws, we will have a better face, we can't let them think that we are going to defect." ”

"I understand the reason, but ......" Xiaocui's mother stopped when she wanted to speak.

"Auntie, it's okay, Xiao Zhao also has a sister, as well-behaved as Xiao Cui, today, just as Xiao Zhao has one more sister, for Xiao Cui's future, aunt must not refuse." ”

"That'...... Then Xie Lu Xie Xiaozhao, if Xiaocui can successfully marry into the Qiu family, we ......"

"Aunt Xiao Zhao just looks at Xiao Cui and my sister very similarly, petite and weak, endearing, and other Hugh. ”

......

For several days in a row, Zhao Yuan would order some nutritious, healthy and appetizing dishes for Xiaocui every meal, and when he passed through some big towns, Zhao Yuan bought some clothes and cosmetics for Xiaocui, and told Xiaocui some basic etiquette of big families and so on.

Those businessmen also seemed to see that Zhao Yuan was helping Xiao Cui, and after getting acquainted, they would take care of Xiao Cui, let Xiao Cui eat and sleep well, and even the two coachmen would avoid long journeys and rest when they could.

It's only been ten days, Xiao Cui has obviously gotten better, her haggard face has become rounded, and her eyes have become bright.

Under Zhao Yuan's teaching, Xiao Cui's gestures were decent, and when she sat quietly on the chair, she showed everyone's demeanor, which made several businessmen amazed.

Xiaocui's mother also realized the change in Xiaocui and was pleasantly surprised.

Xiaocui's mother was pleasantly surprised, and she would also ask Zhao Yuan for some etiquette actions.

"Xiaocui, you have to remember that at any time, you must be pampered and not surprised, and don't pretend to understand for the sake of face, because, if you don't understand, no one will laugh at you, after all, a person's learning ability is limited, and it is impossible to understand every knowledge, but if you don't know how to pretend to understand, it will make people laugh. ”
