Chapter 399: Go to Lin'an
On these luggage, Yang Congyi is still too much, after several picking, only a box of things is left, from Quanzhou to Lin'an thousands of miles away, with too many things in the car, one occupies space, two increases the weight of the car, it is not a good thing for taking a long road.
That night, Yang Congyi took advantage of Qingchen to fall asleep, quietly got up, and took out more than 4,000 taels of silver money hidden there a few years ago in an empty house, these were his only personal property, and went to Lin'an, where he had to live on this money when necessary.
The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Qingchen got up early to cook, while Yang Congyi fed the horses, set the carriage, and carried the suitcases to the carriage and put them away.
Before they could finish their breakfast, a general sent by the commander of the cavalry army with six soldiers was waiting outside the door.
After tidying up the house a little, Qingchen handed over all the door keys to Yang Congyi, and watched her husband give the keys to those sergeants.
In the past few years, she and Lian'er have been at home, living a very frugal life, and they have not added any valuable objects, and she doesn't feel a pity to put these things here, but she has lived for a few years and is used to it, and she is a little reluctant.
She walked out of the courtyard and got into the carriage, and Lian'er also came in and sat down.
This little girl was still a little nervous when she got into the carriage, sitting on the side and feeling uneasy, the old man was not at home before, only when she was with his wife, she often sat on an equal footing with his wife and didn't feel anything, but now she was a little uneasy.
Qingchen saw in his eyes, this girl is indeed gradually growing up, before her husband was not there, she only regarded her as a child, whatever she wanted, now that her husband is back, when she arrives in Lin'an, she can no longer be as indulgent as before.
Lian'er was bought by her husband a few years ago to be her companion, and after a few years, the two have been very close, not like master and servant, but like sisters, this time she left Quanzhou to Lin'an, and did not ask her opinion, but she will not have an opinion if she wants to come.
Seeing her becoming more and more nervous, Qingchen couldn't help but ask, "Lian'er, don't you want to go to Lin'an?" ”
Lian'er immediately shook her head and said, "No, wherever Madame goes, I will go." ”
"Then what are you nervous about?" Qingchen's heart is light.
Lian'er looked at the direction of the car door, suddenly got up and leaned over, and whispered: "I'm afraid of the master, I'm afraid of sitting with the master." ”
Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "Why?" ”
Lian'er hesitated for a moment and asked quietly, "Madam, does the master beat you every night?" ”
"No, why do you ask?" Qingchen felt that this question was strange, and immediately asked back.
Lian'er looked at her with suspicion in her eyes, as if she didn't believe it, and whispered back after a while: "I hear strange sounds every night, and I also hear Mrs. crying, it's not that the master is beating Mrs., what else can it be?" ”
As soon as Qingchen heard this, his cheeks immediately turned crimson, all the way to the back of his neck, he reached out and patted Lian'er, and reprimanded him in his mouth: "What are you listening to if you don't sleep at night, you are not allowed to listen to the root of the wall in the future!" ”
Lian'er seemed to be beaten, reached out and touched her buttocks, looked at the red appearance on the lady's face, and there was a faint smile, as if she was not beaten by the master, did she guess wrong? It doesn't make sense, tomorrow I will hear a lot of movement in the old lady's room almost every night, and the cry of the lady, how can it be wrong?
She is an untrained little girl, how can she know what happens every night in the old lady's room, it is estimated that she will not understand it for a long time.
Yang Congyi went out of the courtyard after a brief explanation to the general, pulled the curtain and asked, "Is there anything else you haven't brought?" If not, leave now. ”
Qingchen shook his head and said, "No, everything you should bring is ready." ”
Yang Congyi saw that her face was different, and immediately asked, "Qingchen, what's wrong with you, are you not feeling well?" ”
Qingchen hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that the car is a little stuffy, and it will be fine in a while." ”
Yang Congyi saw that she really had no other major problems except for blushing, so he said, "Open the curtain on the side to breathe." With that, he put away his horse's pedal and jumped into the carriage.
"Sit down, let's leave for Lin'an!"
With that, with a flick of the reins, the carriage suddenly moved slowly.
One horse and three people, embarked on a long journey from Quanzhou to Lin'an.
The official road is a little flat, but it can't withstand the bumps of the carriage, and it can only travel 100 miles a day. At the beginning, when he encountered the city, Yang Congyi would choose to rest in the city, and then he simply took the official road all the way, and did not settle at the post station until the sun set every day.
Fortunately, next to the official road, there are post stations every 20 miles, Yang Congyi is a seven-grade life official, you can enter the post station at any time to eat, drink, rest and replenish, as long as you give money, otherwise the speed will be slowed down.
The three of them set off from Quanzhou, through Fuzhou, Wenzhou and then to Taizhou, set off at dawn every morning, rest at sunset, hurry up and hurry, the horses pulling the cart changed several horses at the post station along the way, encountered the storm wind in Taiwan, and delayed in the post station for a few days, and waited for Taizhou to enter the territory of Shaoxing Prefecture, it has taken a whole month.
After arriving at Xingchang County, Shaoxing Prefecture, they decided to find an inn in the city, freshen up, and rest for a night.
Xinchang County is in the southernmost part of Shaoxing Mansion, the place is not big, the county is not prosperous, of course, Yang Congyi and his party of three people do not do what he thinks, after entering the city, they directly found the best inn in the city, asked for two rooms, the sun set early, and the three of them stayed early.
After washing up in the room, I ordered another table of food, and when I finished eating slowly, the sun also set.
This night, the three of them slept very early, in order to get a good night's sleep, Yang Congyi slept alone in a room, Qingchen and Lian'er shared a room.
Take an early sleep, get up late, and after recovering your spirits in Xinchang County, a car of three people rushed to Shangyu County within four days.
Yang Congyi has walked many times in the back, and he already knows everything about it, and within ten days, he can easily reach Lin'an, which is to gradually slow down the trip.
After that, travel fifty or sixty miles a day, only walk three or four hours a day, meet the gazebo can also get off the car to rest and breathe, before the sun sets, meet the post station and stop early to rest, the next day after breakfast, after sunrise slowly set off.
It took two days to reach San'in County.
As soon as he arrived in Shanyin, Yang Congyi remembered a person, three years ago he passed by here, thirsty, in a pavilion to see a man and two women, and drank a bowl of sweet soup from the other party, the man and the two women are Lu You, Tang Wan master and servant.
Three years have passed, and I don't know what Lu You looks like now, whether he is divorced from that Tang Wan, and whether he is concentrating on fame.
It took less than three days to get to Lin'an from this place, and the speed of the carriage was slower, and the journey was slower.
When resting in a gazebo, Yang Congyi told Qingchen about meeting Lu You and his wife on the road three years ago, and praised Lu You and Tang Wan, which made Qingchen jealous.
He really wanted to take this opportunity to go to the Lu family to find Lu You, but there were still two Qingchen masters and servants by his side, so it was inconvenient to take them with him, and it was impossible to leave them alone in the inn.
If you remember well, Lu You should have gone to Beijing to seek fame in the past two years, but as mentioned in the yearbook, Lu You was jealous of Qin Hui because his exam results were too good to overshadow the light of the traitorous Qin Hui and his grandson, so he crossed out his name and never hired him, until Qin Hui died, and the court appointed him as an official. This twist and turn, wasting nearly ten years of his time, should I find him and remind him?
As a descendant, although Yang Congyi has the intention to avoid destroying the established historical process, but Nanyang and his party, hundreds of sea ships go straight to Tianzhu and the Persian Gulf, which has caused irreparable damage to the established history into the city.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Congyi decided that he should still remind Lu You and help him get through Qin Hui's pass, maybe after this catastrophe, he might start a more meaningful life.
Although Yang Congyi already had plans to help Lu You, he didn't stay in Shanyin in the end, nor did he look for Lu You, instead of looking for it in Shanyin, it was better to wait in Lin'an, anyway, he would have to go to Lin'an sooner or later to take the exam.
The carriage passed through the city of Shaoxing and headed west.
The official road from Shaoxing Mansion to Lin'an is often repaired, the road is well maintained, it is very smooth, the carriage is not as bumpy as before, when it is hot, the pavilion tea shop rests for a moment and a half, it is easy to travel more than 50 miles a day, and it will arrive at the boundary of Lin'an Mansion in a few days.
At noon on this day, Yang Congyi drove a carriage and walked leisurely on the side of the official road, looking for a tea shop and drinking a pot of tea to take a break.
When the official road turned, I saw a carriage parked on the road, and when I looked closely, I saw that the body of the carriage was tilted, and it seemed that the axle was broken.
Slowly approaching to see, the carriage in front of it is indeed a broken axle, it happens to be in the middle of the road, although the left and right can barely pass, but there are inevitably stones among the weeds, if you are not careful, the vehicle will be damaged or bumped into an accident, in order to ensure safety, Yang Congyi had to tighten the reins, the carriage stopped two feet away.
The carriage stopped, and Yang Congyi sat on the carriage and did not move, but grabbed the sword in his hand.
Although this place is under the jurisdiction of Lin'an Prefecture, it is not necessarily very safe, but it is even more mixed and dangerous.
Although Yang Congyi has never experienced such a scene as asking for help by blocking the road with a damaged vehicle, he has seen such cases in later generations, and they take advantage of the compassion and kindness of the helper.
Their carriage stopped for a moment, but the carriage in front of them did not move, and there was no human figure or sound to be heard.
The carriage that suddenly stopped had already attracted Qingchen's attention, only to hear her ask, "Husband, is there a place to rest?" ”
Yang Congyi replied: "No." Then he jumped out of the carriageway: "Something is going on ahead, I'll go and see, be careful yourself." ”
As soon as Qingchen heard this, he hurriedly took the sword placed aside in his hand, stretched out the scabbard, and gently opened a gap in the curtain, and saw a carriage in front of him blocking their way, so he immediately tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
"Brother Tai in front, do you need help?" Yang Congyi held the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.
Then I heard someone in the carriage in front of me reply: "No need, thank you!" ”
