Chapter 19: A Trip to 19 Counties
Chapter 19 A trip to 19 counties
From Sanhe Village to Qingshan County, the most convenient way to travel is to take an ox cart to Chashan Town, then go to the ferry to take a boat, which can go directly to Qingshan County.
Qi Qi also put a lot of thought into preparing for this trip. The children are still young, so what should they do if they get hungry after traveling for a long time? There is no milk powder here that can replace breast milk, so they can only travel with them.
To this end, Qi Qi made special drawings and asked Yang Daqing to make a special bamboo-backed basket with two layers, so that the children could lie in it and sleep.
It was still dark the next day, Qi Qi carried a bamboo basket on her back, closed the door and headed to the village in the dim moonlight.
The bullock cart driver is Gu Er, a lame man in the village. He was born with a foot disease, but his parents did not give up on him. They even found a job as a cart driver for him. This way he could make a living and support his wife and children.
Life is really unpredictable. It may bring unexpected surprises, but it may also be filled with countless regrets.
"Second uncle, morning." Qi Qi stepped forward to say hello.
She came earlier and there was no one else there yet.
"Hey, Xiaoen? Wife, are you going to the town?" Gu Er was quite surprised to see her.
"yes."
Suddenly, a magnificent ship sailed quickly from a distance. Several men in black clothes on the bow of the ship held sword hilts in their hands, waved and shouted to get out of the way.
The ship sailed smoothly and quickly arrived at the dock. A few men quickly laid the deck and saw a luxury carriage driving off the ship, protected by a group of people, and gradually moved away.
"Cousin." Liang Xuanning's shoulders shrank. She was really afraid of this cousin, "Well, brother Shaoyang..."
"Xuan Ning, come out."
The two of them only exchanged a few words before people came one after another and greeted each other when they met.
Liang Xuanning is the only girl of this generation in the Liang family. She has been pampered and pampered since she was a child. This time she came back just for fun.
Qi Qi carried the bamboo basket on his back and stepped on the boat to Qingshan County. He looked at the sparkling waves on the wide river and the golden light flashing under the sun. He breathed a long sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Pei Sheng placed the tea cup on the small table, turned the sapphire finger on his thumb, and looked at a green pine in the courtyard with his eyes as deep as ink.
"What are you doing? He's so frivolous, hurry up and cure him. You heard me, I'm telling you, if you can't cure him, don't even think about it." The slightly childish voice, with a cry, gave people a strong feeling that he was about to collapse at any time.
Support the feeling.
"Woo hoo... Cousin, please save Brother Shaoyang, nothing will happen to him..." Liang Xuanning also regretted it. If she had known something would happen, she would not have dared to run around.
Although she is also curious, she still knows not to engage in such bloody gossip. She is not a fearless person now, and she has two little babies on her back.
"Okay, okay, then you must cure him." Liang Xuanning said and ran away.
Her destination was the county government office. The county magistrate was standing in the courtyard anxiously, with large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead onto the bluestone floor along his temples.
The menacing posture made the civilians intimidated, and they all hurriedly gave way to the big ship.
I took another look at the speeding team and found that several of them were injured.
Qi Qi politely called out to people she knew, and smiled even if she didn't recognize them, but no longer spoke easily. Instead, she leaned against the car wall with her bamboo basket in her arms and closed her eyes to rest, ignoring the looks and whispers of several people.
He was running without looking at the road.
She choked, feeling weak and helpless.
"Okay! Go down and clean up, it doesn't look like it." Pei Sheng waved his hand impatiently.
The car walked slowly along the country road, from stepping on the moonlight to facing the early sun, and finally arrived at Chashan Town at the end of Chenshi.
"Ouch."
"Where is your second brother?" Pei Sheng ignored her show of weakness and just continued to ask about the situation with a cold face.
It's just that sometimes she can't stop touching it if she wants to.
In early March, Liang Xuanning followed her second brother Liang Xuanzang back to his hometown of Tanshan County in Jiangzhou. This time Liang Xuanzang came back to take the merit examination. He went from the county examination to the government examination and then to the college examination. He passed all the tests and finally lived up to expectations and came first. Soon he gained the title of scholar.
"Clang!" The sound of a copper basin falling to the ground came from the house. Apparently, the people in the house had heard it.
The breeze blew through the car window screen and lifted a corner. Qi Qi, who was standing on the side of the road watching, frowned slightly. There was such a strong smell of blood.
Of course, this is only a fact that Liang Xuanning knows.
There is also an endless stream of merchant caravans coming here to wholesale tea, and the streets are a prosperous scene.
More than half an hour later, Qi Qi finally arrived at the Qingshan County Pier. The wharf was still bustling with people coming and going and shouting.
"He didn't take me with him when he went out to play with his classmates." Speaking of this, Liang Xuanning looked angry and couldn't help complaining about her second brother, "It's all my fault. If he took me to play, how could I come out and make trouble? visit……"
As the pedestrians left, everyone started talking on the street. After hearing a few words, Qi Qi felt bored and walked away.
The girl's clothes were torn by something, her hair was messy, and her face was stained with dirt, making her look very embarrassed.
Jiangzhou has a developed water system, and even the towns are connected by rivers.
After a while, a person walked out of the room. A rare look of embarrassment appeared on the stereotyped public face, "Master, several doctors said that the prince's legs may not be saved, and there is nothing they can do."
Pei Sheng glanced at her, with a trace of impatience and disgust flashing in his eyes, "Look how you still look like a girl. You are so bold and wanton, causing trouble for yourself, and even hurting Prince Tao. What do you think we should do now!"
Half of the shops on the street sell tea and open teahouses.
Chashan Town, just like its name, is famous in Jiangzhou for growing, selling and tasting tea.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."
Today, Liang Xuanzhi went out without taking her with him, and she was naturally unhappy. She thought that if you didn't take me with you, I would go out to play by myself. So, he took two servants and went out.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a landslide while climbing the mountain. Fortunately, they met Pei Sheng and his party who were passing by. In order to save her, Tao Shaoyang himself was hit in the leg by a large rock falling from the mountain.
A girl dressed as a child walked out slowly and said, "Cousin."
Pei Sheng looked at her coldly and said nothing.
Pei Sheng's eyebrows were slightly raised, his thin lips pursed slightly, and he said the fatal words coldly, "Tell them, if they can't be cured, don't even think about walking out of this door."
At the entrance of the main room, on a chair on the left side of the eaves corridor, Pei Sheng, dressed in black clothes, was sitting lazily, holding a white jade cup in his hand and shaking it carelessly. The fragrance of tea overflowed, but his stern face was revealed. With a hint of chill, it gives people a sense of distance from strangers.
"Are you okay?"
"If something happens, a good dog won't block the way. Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Liang Xuanning fell to the ground. The fall was not light. She felt irritated and aggrieved, and naturally she lost her good temper.
Qi Qi looked at the dirty little girl on the ground and was speechless.
