After breakfast, we continued on our way. The official road leading to Tuoyang County was not that good. It must have been repaired before.
There were many bumps and bumps in the road. Cheng Xue was worried about Mr. Pang, but he didn’t expect that it was Li Huai who reacted the most.
The little guy was so uncomfortable that he vomited everything he had eaten in the morning. In the end, there was nothing left to vomit, so he could only curl up in a ball. This made Cheng Xue feel bad. After all, she had raised the child with her own hands. She hugged the child gently.
In my arms, humming a little tune and coaxing me tirelessly.
Finally, with her unremitting efforts, the child fell asleep.
As long as you fall asleep, you can reduce the feeling of motion sickness.
I thought that the road conditions would be better when entering the city, but who would have thought that entering the city would be like this?
When we drove to the inn, the waiter's attitude was very bad, but when he saw Pang Lao's seal, he immediately changed his face and respectfully took them into the hospital to rest. After hearing the news, the steward rushed over and said, "I'm sorry to welcome you from afar," "I'm disrespectful," and "I'm disrespectful."
A lot...
In the end, Li Hui couldn't stand listening anymore, and Shen Lin said:
"Can you shut up and arrange the house first? Can't you see Mr. Pang suffering from the cold?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Pang, forgive me, I'm...this..."
"Stop it and tell us where we will live." Li Hui spoke again, his tone even worse than before.
It's not that he's just thinking, he just feels like he's not at ease today.
The steward was a little unhappy when he saw this, but he still had patience and said:
"Mr. Pang, Li Juren, there has been a rat attack at the post station recently. I have a clean and secluded house. Please come with me..."
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Pang shook his head and declined:
"Don't bother, just stay here."
"Yes, we are from a farming family, so we are not afraid of rats, crickets, etc. Thanks to the steward for his thoughtfulness, it won't be a problem anymore."
Cheng Xue walked this way as she spoke. She had just told Bai Shao to go shopping in Tiandong. She had to settle down quickly and prepare to cook. She planned to cook ten dishes. Everyone didn't eat at noon, so they couldn't waste time.<
/p>
When the steward saw the state of her and Li Hui, he knew that this was Mrs. Li, so he held his hands over again and said:
"To be honest, madam, rats have been rampant in the inn recently, and rat poison has been sprayed everywhere. For the safety of Mr. Pang and Li Juren's family, please move to my house. There is a sister-in-law there on weekdays, and it is very clean." When Mr. Pang heard about "rat poison", he stopped insisting. Li Hui also told the children to get in the car and prepare to leave.
Just when the steward was about to breathe a sigh of relief——
"Uh-uhhhh...uhhhhhhh...bang-"
It was the sound of something falling to the ground and breaking.
Li Hui immediately protected Cheng Xue, Wen Tian, Li Heng, and Yan Yixin, and they rushed out like swift leopards. Cheng Xue instinctively protected the child and Pang Lao behind him, eyes wide
Stare at the manager without blinking.
They are not stupid. He has repeatedly prevented them from staying in the inn, so there is obviously something wrong.
Finally, Li Heng and Yan Yixin came out of the house with red faces.
"Mr. Pang, Uncle Li, please go in."
As soon as Yan Yixin finished speaking, the steward and the waiter knelt down one after another with "plop-plop-".
"Mr. Pang, Li Juren, this matter has nothing to do with us. Magistrate Lu is here to cover the sky with his hands, and Song Yicheng is our master, so we can only listen and do things!"
The two of them kowtowed while talking, and first took off themselves cleanly.
Li Hui has never dealt with such a matter, so he dare not speak rashly.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Pang put his hands behind his back, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
"Tiedan Niang, when Tiandong comes back, ask him to take my seal to the Ten Mile Pavilion to find the pavilion chief. Ask the pavilion chief to send someone to invite Liaodong Prefecture Yin. We are only afraid that we will be delayed here for two days."
"Yes, Mr. Pang."
Liangyan has a pavilion every ten miles, and dozens of soldiers will be stationed there.
If nothing happens, practice on your own, and if something happens, follow the instructions.
"You two, don't rush to separate the relationship. Let me ask you, where are the Yi Cheng and the county magistrate?" Mr. Pang asked calmly, but it was obviously the calm before the storm.
The county government of a county is composed of the seventh-rank county magistrate, the eighth-rank county magistrate, the ninth-rank chief registrar, and a number of ninth-rank officials, inspectors, and post officials. The post chief is the top leader of the post station. As long as something goes wrong at the post station,
Let Yi Cheng be held accountable.
The steward received Pang Lao's look and knew that the situation was over, so he could only nod his head. Pang Lao said "hum" and rolled his sleeves, and Li Hui hurriedly followed behind.
"You two get up and arrange a room for us first. Now that the mouse has been caught, there is no need for us to take care of the house anymore."
Cheng Xue's words with a chuckle made the manager want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He said it was no good to hear the old man yelling in the morning. Who would have thought that he would encounter such a big thing that he would lose his head. He never expected that he would be on the road in the first month of the year.
Such a move, it’s so unlucky that even if you take a sip of cold water, your teeth will choke.
Despondently, she was lifted up by the waiter. He looked at her with longing eyes and said:
"Please Mrs. Li, please give me some advice on how to save our lives."
Obviously, what happened in that room was enough to make people lose their heads. It was the sucking of elephant millet... No, no, if it was because of this, Li Heng would not blush.
Cheng Xue memorizes Liang Yan's laws and regulations. If Mr. Pang gets angry about this matter, these two people will not be able to stay. But if she really says that, there is no guarantee that they will not jump over the wall and die. Although Li Heng and Yan Yixin can be relied on, but
It’s better not to take risks.
Thinking of this, she pretended to be relaxed and said:
"What does it have to do with you? The higher-ups have ordered you to do things just to obey orders, and your lives will not be involved. But there should be punishments. I will pass the message on to you at that time, and you can be given a lighter sentence."
When the steward and the waiter heard this, they hurriedly raised their hands in salute, bowed deeply, and said in unison——
"Thank you, Mrs. Li."
"You're welcome. Take us to the room quickly. It's freezing."
"Oh, okay, please come here. Brother, go to the woodshed and carry firewood to the three rooms in front of Tianzi."
"I know, brother."
Cheng Xue followed the steward and asked confidently:
"Are you brothers?"
"No, we are cousins, and my mother is his aunt." The steward replied.
"Then how many years have you been here?" Cheng Xue asked.
"It's been many years." The steward said as he took out the key to open the door. "We are both from Fuyang County. My father and uncle worked at the post station. Later, our brothers grew up and came to work. The post manager came here two years ago.
Yes, he has served as county magistrate for three terms and is a local."
"Three terms? Aren't you not allowed to be re-elected three times?" Cheng Xue was surprised.
The manager smiled wryly and spread his hands, saying nothing.
There is no "no", it just depends on whether it works and whether it works.
"Madam, you can live in the houses next to each other in this row. There are no official offices in the first month, and there are no exams."
Just as he was talking, the man brought the firewood over, and Bai Zhi took it and started to light the fire and burn the kang.
It’s not clear how to deal with it there. After Tiandong came back, he took the seal and went out. Within an hour, soldiers brought by the pavilion chief surrounded the post station...
