Chapter 284: Cherish life
The horses sold in Beicheng are not expensive horses. Most of them are domestic horses, specializing in carriages to transport goods. Even ordinary horses are expensive, fifty taels per horse, not even a carriage, plus seventy taels of carriages.
In ancient times, carriages and vehicles also needed to go to the yamen to register. Carriages that transport goods and pull people from long distances were still controlled, and not everyone could do the job of pulling carts.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were willing to spend money to leave earlier. In the morning, the horse and carriage, the bodyguard and the coachman were all found.
Zhulan ordered a lot of sauce meat, roast chicken, etc. in the inn.
In the afternoon, the two settled the bill with the inn, and they followed the convoy and left the capital in a carriage.
Because the convoy is not a caravan carrying goods, but a team leaving Beijing and returning to their hometown. The convoy travels fast and does not stop the carriage until it gets dark.
Zhulan bumped for an afternoon, and her bones were all over her body and she had no appetite to eat. After eating a chicken leg, she lay down to rest.
Zhou Shuren and Zhulan hired four stintsmen. If they weren't afraid of being too shocked, they wanted to hire more people. They were really jealous of their lives. Although they had been ten years old, they wanted to live well. Isn't they just to live long? They don't want to be innocent cannon fodder.
On the first night, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren didn't sleep much because they were not far enough from the capital.
As soon as the next day was dawn, the convoy informed that it was about to set off, and there was no time to prepare breakfast. After a simple washing, the convoy set off.
I was rushing for a day and didn't take a break at noon. The only way to stop was to give the horse a rest, or to solve the problem of three emergency and water withdrawal.
The convoy was driving fast, and arrived at the first station that night, and the speed was so fast that it flew.
Zhulan had supper and lay on the bed, "If we follow this speed, the time we spend going back would be reduced by half."
Zhou Shuren, "When I came, I didn't have time to go back to my hometown to check it out. When I went back, I would leave the team in my hometown."
"I'm just thinking about going back to see my parents."
Zhou Shuren hugged Zhulan and said, "Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow to rush."
Zhulan didn't have a good rest yesterday. She couldn't sleep even if the car was bumpy during the day. She huh and fell asleep in a daze. Although she had gone to bed, she didn't dare to sleep too deeply. She was in her heart and her sleep quality had always been bad.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, seven days later, and the children can't stand it and get sick several times. There is no way, so the convoy arrives in the county for two days to rest.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren are also pretty good-looking. If they don’t insist on exercising, they will probably fall ill.
Although he suffered a lot, he had already walked for most of the journey. Zhou Shuren and Zhulan were finally at ease. Little people like them did not attract attention, so there was no need to worry about being cannon fodder.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren felt relieved. The first day he slept in darkness, twelve hours and ten hours were sleeping and resting.
I didn't make up for my sleep the next day, but I slept a little too much and couldn't fall asleep anymore.
Zhulan was no longer nervous, and she had a lot of money in her hands, so she couldn't suppress her hands that wanted to spend money. She suggested, "Let's go to the town to have a stroll. She didn't buy any good things in the capital. Go to the town to buy more gifts."
Zhou Shuren didn't want to lie down anymore, "Okay."
Zhulan’s first target jewelry shop, this time she has money in hand, so she can buy more jewelry for her daughter to prepare her dowry in advance, and buy some for herself.
Zhulan prefers jade and does not like pearl jewelry. It is entirely because in modern times, I have seen too many artificially cultivated pearls. Not only are they round and big, but they are also very cheap, so I really don’t like pearls very much.
Zhulan chose three pairs of jade bracelets, and some gold-inlaid jade-inlaided hairpins. Finally, she bought a few exquisite headblades for a few little girls.
A total of 100 taels of silver was spent.
Then the two of them went around again, and Zhulan bought some fabrics, but no one else was bought.
