After staying in Coyang County for one day, four carriages left one after another on the morning of the third day, heading for the capital.
The car was fully stocked with food and water. Rest and meals were all in the car, and we were preparing to arrive in the capital today. The children were all catching up on their sleep in the car, but Cheng Xue couldn't sleep, so she just stayed at the stove and cooked sweet soup.
Their carriages were not the only ones on the official road, and many people chose to rush on their way at this time. During this period, there were problems with the carriages, and some people suddenly fell ill. However, Li Hui and Cheng Xue were completely unaware of it, and they were already busy on the road.
, I really don’t have time to tease others.
At the end of Xu Shi, four carriages entered the city one after another. After Wen Tian drove the carriage into the city, the sound of closing the door was heard.
The thick sound of "squeak...ah..." was very muffled. Cheng Xue opened the curtain and took a look, then stopped moving.
The city gate in the dark night is just like Fengdu City in a ghost movie, so high, so big, and eerie everywhere.
"What are you looking at, mother?"
"Tiantian, I have told you many times that you need to change your words like 'what' and 'what'," Li Yue reminded.
Hearing this, Cheng Xue put down the curtain, held Li Tian in her arms with a smile, and said:
"It's okay, it's okay not to change it. Even if we change those iconic Liaodong dialects, the emphasis in our speech cannot be changed. It's better to just let it be."
Li Yue pursed her lips when she saw this and explained softly:
"Mom, I just... don't want to be looked down upon."
Along the way, even if they don't interact with anyone, the dialect they use when speaking will make others smile. There are just inns in various places, but the capital is different. Sister Pang Yao said that there are dignitaries everywhere, and five
Quality officials are nothing here.
Cheng Xue understood what the child meant, pinched her cheek gently, and said with a smile:
"You mean well, and Mom understands. Whether it's dialect or habits, they are all part of our lives and cannot be avoided. If someone laughs at us because of this, then there is no need to be close to that person. Do you still remember what Mom told you?
After gaining absolute strength, what others have to do is to accommodate us, not us to accommodate them."
The three children nodded tacitly, and soon the lack of confidence in Li Yue's eyes disappeared.
There were lively shouts from outside the car. Cheng Xue opened the curtain and kicked it. The capital was the capital. It was still a night market at this time, but it was very lively. There were everything for sale, people were coming and going, and the carriage was moving very slowly. It took more than half an hour from entering the city to parking the car, which is enough to show how big the capital is.
Cheng Xue thought she had arrived somewhere, but after getting off the car, she discovered that it was Mr. Pang's mansion.
There are two stone lions at the door, a magnificent red lacquer door, and a plaque given by the emperor directly above it... There is a trench smell everywhere.
"Huizi really doesn't plan to stay here?"
"No, Mr. Pang." Li Hui shook his head and declined.
Xiao Qinglin smiled and helped persuade:
"Sir, my elder brother and I will bother you again after the general examination is over. Let's forget it before the general examination, so as not to be gossiped about."
The dark side of the capital city is comparable to that of a small place. A small county town can be very ruthless. If you are not careful, you will be labeled as such, which can lead to death.
Mr. Pang originally planned to fulfill his duty as a landlord, but at this moment he had no choice but to give up.
"Well, after the examination is over, I will host a banquet at the mansion to celebrate the two of you."
"Yes, we are more respectful than obeying orders." The two said in unison.
Pang Yao reluctantly said goodbye to Li Tian and Li Yue, but her eyes were not aimed at Li Heng. After seeing this, Cheng Xue walked to Pang Lao to check his pulse, so as not to block the communication between the two.
Childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts, she sincerely hopes that this friendship will last forever.
She took back her hand and told Mrs. Ma about Pang Lao's recent diet. She also took the opportunity to explain the situation of the house rented by the Li family in detail. After listening, Cheng Xuejue said "Thank you", and Bai Shao hurriedly stuffed the prepared purse. "No, no, no, I can't accept this old slave."
Cheng Xue held her hand, shook her head gently and said:
"It's not easy for the three of you to live in such a big house from tidying up to moving in and then cleaning it every day. With a little thought, grandma will save it for tea. When you have time, come and sit at home and teach Bai Shao and the others how to make snacks." When Mrs. Ma saw that she insisted on giving it, she accepted it without any further refusal.
"Yes, Madam, don't worry, I will come over when I have time."
It's almost time, everyone bids farewell to Pang's ancestors and grandchildren.
We got on the bus again. We didn’t go too long this time, and we arrived in just one stick of incense.
Gastrodia and Shunxi both had a rest. When they heard the door being called, they hurried out. When they saw that it was the master's house, they knelt down and saluted, especially Gastrodia. Their voices were trembling. After all, they were only twelve years old. After leaving their families and going to Beijing for so long, they would inevitably think.
Home.
Xiao Qinglin did not leave in a hurry, but ordered Bai Rui to drive and take Shunxi to Feihongju to buy high-quality banquets. They had only eaten at Shen Shi's time, and now they were all hungry and thirsty. p>
After entering the courtyard and walking around for a while, there were many houses in the three houses, and two rooms were used to store food. Looking at the sufficient food, Cheng Xue immediately understood what it means to "have food in hand and not panic".
I asked the convoy to bring a lot of things in advance, including pine nuts, Ganoderma lucidum, hazel mushrooms, etc., and prepared two hundred kilograms of rice, which I will let Xiao Qinglin take away later. They are all farm stuff and are not worth much, but they are
A little bit of their thoughts.
Xiao Qinglin couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, and said with a smile:
"Liaodong rice is my mother's favorite food, and this food has been sent to my mother's heart. Sister-in-law, it's getting late, so I won't keep you. You can rest for a while tomorrow, and I will take you out for a walk the day after tomorrow."<
/p>
"Let's stay and eat."
"I'm not going to eat. I have some at home. I'll come back the day after tomorrow." Xiao Qinglin waved and left directly without looking for Li Hui again.
Feihongju’s dishes were just like that, and he wasn’t very proud of them.
I was exhausted from traveling all day, but the first thing I did when I got home was to go to the main hospital to greet my parents.
Without asking for help, I strode into the house and saw my mother wiping her eyes with a handkerchief and my father holding a collar in his hand.
At first glance, it looks like a child's thing, and it's a girl.
"What's wrong, mother? My father has an affair behind your back?"
As she spoke, she walked over to Xiao's mother and looked at her father as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
Xiao Song's nose was almost bent with anger, he put down the collar in his hand and said in a low voice:
"Shut up if you don't know how to speak. You have an affair, which I don't even have."
Both Xiao Song and Xiao Feng had stayed in the military camp, but Xiao Song obviously stayed longer. However, later his health did not allow it, so he left the military camp and entered the court.
"Then why is my mother crying, and what's going on with this bracelet? Hey, where did this bracelet come from?"
Xiao Qinglin stretched out his hand to take the bracelet when the back of his hand was slapped with a "pop--".
“It’s only been a few days since we got over it, and it’s starting to happen again.”
Facing his father's scolding, Xiao Qinglin aggrievedly handed the back of his red hand to his mother. Yao immediately glared at her husband unhappily and gently blew the back of his hand for his son...
