After she became the brother of the male protagonist in the imperial examination, she became the spo

The woman in the kitchen was a little surprised to see the empty egg. She wiped her hands with the towel at her waist and asked with a smile: "This young man wants hot water. I will bring it to your room right away."

Guangdan waved his hand and said, "Aunt, it's like this. My mother and her friends were caught in the rain while driving the cart, so I took some ginger and brown sugar and wanted to boil some hot water to drive away the cold." As he spoke, Guangdan shook the small cloth bag in his hand.

"Oh, okay, wait a moment. I'll scoop some hot water out of the pot. Do you need my help, brother?" the middle-aged woman asked as she used a ladle to scoop the full amount of hot water in the pot into the wooden barrel next to her.

"Thank you for your help." Guangdan said as he put the burlap bags in his hands on the chopping board.

At this time, he turned his head and saw a small figure huddled under the stove. It was a little girl about six years old with a dark face smiling at him.

Guangdan immediately thought of Xiaoya, who was the opposite age from her, and couldn't help but grin.

"Do you want to warm yourself by the fire? It's very warm." the little girl asked crisply.

"Yes, it's cold in the carriage. Why don't you warm yourself up by the fire? The water is hot, and the brown sugar ginger tea will be ready quickly." The middle-aged woman sighed in her heart as she cut ginger slices skillfully.

The boy in front of her was young, but he was very thoughtful. He glanced at the brown sugar water in the pot and the middle-aged woman thought about cleaning the pot with the water and giving it to Niu Niu to drink.

Fang Cuihua and her group washed their hands and faces with hot water in the house, and then soaked their feet, and they felt a little warmer.

After the middle-aged woman brought the brown sugar ginger tea, although it was hot and spicy after one sip, the coldness in my body seemed to disappear without a trace.

Because they arrived after dark, dinner was prepared on the spur of the moment. It was already late at night when they finished eating. Even so, the group did not go to bed immediately after eating, but started a discussion in the main room.

"We don't know whether the rain will be heavy tomorrow. If it's too heavy, we might have to delay. If it's similar to today, I suggest we go straight on. What do you think?" Hammer spoke first.

Fang Cuihua looked around and saw that no one spoke, so she simply said, "I think it's okay. Although it's raining hard today, I'm driving with a hat and a raincoat, so I don't feel too cold."

Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it is not really that cold that is unbearable.

"We specially greeted each other before we set off. Everyone is wearing leather boots and leather coats, so it won't be a big deal if we get a little wet." Lin Xiaoniu looked at his group of people seriously, then nodded with some satisfaction.

Among these four people in the village, one of them is Lin Laosi from my great-grandfather's family, and the other three were sent by the village chief. Their family conditions are not too bad. Even if they don't have new leather boots and leather coats, they can still find old ones at home to put together a set.

Besides, there are also wages! Everyone in this group of people except the bald man is paid.

"I think it works too. I drank a big bowl of brown sugar ginger tea in the evening, and all the coldness is gone!" Lin Dongsheng, a young man in his twenties, said with a smile.

"Hahaha, that's right. Let's continue on our way. The sooner we get to the city, the sooner we can sell the goods!" Lin Laosi also added with a grin.

"Okay, then it's settled. Take this time to rest and get enough energy to continue your journey tomorrow!" After saying this, Hammer gave everyone some encouragement.

At night, Guangdan felt that he had become accustomed to the earth-shattering snoring, and slept soundly on the warm kang. He even dreamed that he bought a cart full of Ken's meal in the capital.

I was woken up by my uncle in the morning when I was happily drinking happy water. Guangdan stared with his big confused eyes full of resentment.

This is a kid who is clenching his fists and looking complaining!

Fortunately, it didn't rain heavily in the early morning. After eating breakfast and paying the bill, the group continued on their journey.

Guangdan lit the charcoal stove in the ox cart. His purpose was not to keep warm, but to wait for the driver whose clothes were wet so that he could change them and dry them.

Compared to drying clothes on an oxcart loaded with charcoal, Guangdan felt that his own oxcart was safer.

Except for the heavy rain at noon, the rest of the day was fine, so Guangdan and his group basically did not stay on the official road for long, which was also an expected scene.

Guangdan was just thankful that everyone was in good health. If they caught a cold on the way, it would be fatal. Thinking of this, he felt that he was not thoughtful enough.

"Mom, when we get to the city, let's find a pharmacy and buy some antipyretic and cold-relieving medicines, just in case for the return trip, when the weather will be cold." Guangdan said in a low voice.

"Well, on the way back, your uncle will come and ride our ox cart, and then he and I will take turns driving." Fang Cuihua nodded and said with a smile. She felt that her own boy was indeed a far-sighted person. Look, he has already arranged everything for the return trip.

How should I put it? Fang Cuihua now has some maternal love for Guangdan.

The rain lasted for three days in a row. The originally planned seven days to reach the provincial capital ended up taking eight and a half days. Although it took a little longer, all the people and the goods they brought were safe and sound, and that was enough!

After all, it’s my first time in the city, so safety is the top priority.

At noon on the eighth day, the group settled in Wangjiawan on the outskirts of the city instead of going directly into the city, which puzzled Guangdan.

After packing his luggage, Guangdan went to find Uncle Hammer out of curiosity. Along the way, he learned a lot about Xiling and the current dynasty from this former escort.

Hammer actually thought that this little kid was quite interesting. He just liked to listen to him talk about his past as a bodyguard. It turned out that all kids were like that.

"Didn't you say it's not far? Why don't we go directly into the city?" Guangdan moved to Hammer's side and asked with a pair of big, eager eyes.

"What's the point of us going into the city now? We still have to find a place to stay first. Accommodation and food in the city are not cheap. It's better for us to get up early and go into the city tomorrow morning. This way we can save some money!"

Hammer said as he reached out and tapped Baldy's head: "You're still young!"

Guangdan smiled awkwardly. Indeed, this was the way of survival for ordinary people like them. They would save as much as possible. He was a little careless.

Oh, maybe it's inflated!

Whenever he thought of the gold and jewelry he brought with him, Guangdan felt as if he was extremely wealthy and thought he was about to become the Shen Wanshan of this dynasty.

Uh, that’s getting off topic.

In short, Guangdan still reflected on it a little.
