"Mother, it's so hot, why are you standing at the city gate instead of taking a rest under the tree?"

Li Zhou looked at the row of five brand new carriages with canopies and was so surprised that she couldn't say anything for a moment.

"No, I'm not going to buy a mule or a donkey. How come they bought five carriages at once? My God, horses are so valuable. One horse is worth five or six donkeys!"

She was so excited that she could hardly speak.

Horses have always been something that only wealthy people can afford. For poor people, a donkey or a mule is the best they can buy.

Horses were an important means of transportation in ancient times. They were in great demand during wars, and were generally strictly controlled and expensive. Unless they were used by wealthy people, ordinary people could not afford them.

"Mom, we didn't buy this. Someone gave it to us. We were originally planning to buy a donkey or a mule, and we happened to see an old man fainted on the way. So my husband and I saved him."

"I didn't expect that this old man was actually the richest man in the city. He was extremely wealthy. He gave us five carriages as a gift to thank us. We originally didn't want them, but we had to accept them because of his kindness."

Yu Suihuan spoke in a serious tone. Li Chengjin was still thinking about what to say, but he didn't expect that his wife was so good at making up stories and could speak without hesitation.

It’s possible that he just read storybooks every day before.

"Yes, that's the case, mother. If we don't accept it, the old man will get angry, so we have no choice but to accept it."

The two of them spoke in a serious manner, singing in unison and cooperating seamlessly.

Everyone was surprised to see that all five carriages came with carriage covers.

We also helped to install the four brand new carports.

"Aunt San, I want to take a big carriage."

Although Sanwa is small, he is very nimble and can climb up easily.

The eldest and second oldest children were not to be outdone. This carriage was much better than their carts. It was big and spacious.

"Let's take the carriage. This way we can get to Dongzhou much faster. Mom, pack up our things. Get rid of those old clothes if you can. Keep things simple."

"Let my uncle's family and Master Wu's luggage be placed on the donkey cart and mule cart, and we can take the horse carriage, so that we can travel quickly."

"We are now on the road to escape famine. The longer we take, the more trouble we will have. Heng County has already started recruiting soldiers, and we don't know what will happen along the way."

What Yu Suihuan said made sense, and everyone heard it. Chun Xing's family also packed up their things, reluctantly threw away those things that were really unnecessary, and put all the things on the cart onto their own donkey cart.

The bundles wrapped with clothes can be placed on the carriage and used as cushions under the buttocks when sitting, which can also prevent the buttocks from hurting from the bumps.

Li Laoer's family also sorted out their things, put the packages of clothes under their buttocks and sat on them, and put all the other things on the donkey cart.

Hunter Wu didn't have much stuff to begin with, and Zhou Dazhu's family didn't have much stuff either, so they were all placed on Li's family's mule cart and donkey cart. In this way, the three donkey carts and one mule cart were only responsible for pulling things.

Five carriages were reserved for passengers.

There were more than 30 people in their group, nine of whom drove horse-drawn carriages, donkey-drawn carriages, and mule-drawn carriages. The remaining 20 or so people were divided into five carriages, which was not too crowded.

It's much more comfortable to ride in a carriage than to walk, and the horses don't get that hot when they run.

It took nearly three hours of walking in the morning to pass through a small county town. Now, after getting on the carriage, it only took two hours to pass through two county towns.

When it was almost dark, we arrived at a small town. The town was not big and a bit deserted. There were a few lanterns hanging here and there on the street, and we could barely see the road clearly.

I asked a passer-by on the roadside and found out that there was only one inn in the town, which was almost at the end of the town.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at the only inn in the town, Lai Fu Inn.

The inn was shabby, but they didn't have any requirements as they were on the road, just wanting to be able to shelter from the wind and rain.

At this time, there were three carriages and several horses parked in front of the inn. I guess they were people on the road and needed to stay in an inn when they passed by.

The people in this group were either rich or noble, and there were dozens of maids and servants. It was obvious that they were not ordinary people. There was a flag symbolizing their status hanging on the carriage with the word "Song" written on it. I guess they were a noble family.

A girl with two buns on her head, wearing a light blue dress and with pretty eyes and eyebrows got out of the most luxurious carriage. She got off the carriage and raised her hand to open the curtain.

Yu Suihuan was also curious whether a delicate young lady from a noble family would come out of the carriage. However, the clothes worn by this maid looked somewhat familiar.

The next second, a graceful young man holding a folding fan and wearing a light blue robe walked out.

With the help of the little maid, she slowly walked out of the carriage.

Tsk tsk... This rich young man is so delicate that he even needs a maid to support him when walking.

Yu Suihuan jumped off the carriage and stretched his aching waist.

Then she saw another little maid coming out of another carriage. When she looked at the face clearly, it was a familiar face!

Isn’t this the maid who wanted to buy her carriage frame in Heng County?

Yu Suihuan secretly said that enemies often meet on a narrow road. Without giving it time to think, he ran into the inn, took out a piece of silver from the space and put it on the counter.

"Boss, we need two large bunk beds, more hot water, and some fodder for our animals. Do you think this is enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough."

The shopkeeper took it with a smile, put it on the small scale and weighed it. It was three taels of silver, which was three hundred coins.

A large dormitory can accommodate about twenty people and costs one hundred coins per room. Fodder and hot water are services that require payment.

"Xiaoduo, take the guests to the big bunk bed in the backyard."

Yu Suihuan was just about to follow the waiter to the backyard, but unexpectedly the little maid walked quickly towards the counter and placed a silver ingot directly on the counter.

"Boss, this inn is reserved by our young master, you should let these people stay somewhere else."

The little maid looked very proud. She didn't expect that the opportunity for revenge would come so soon.

The two peasants actually dared to tease her. Maybe the two brocade robes she wore at noon were also stolen.

Look at him now, he is wearing tattered clothes. This is his true face, a complete troublemaker!

"What a joke! There is only one inn like this in the area of ​​dozens of miles in the middle of the night. We paid first, so there must be a first come first served rule. We have already paid, so why are you kicking us out?"

"Besides, you guys can't live in the same inn. It's convenient for others and for yourself. Don't be too extreme in anything."

Ningshuang had a look of slight disdain on her face. She raised her fingers and twisted the handkerchief in her hand.

"Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. What do you, a country girl, know? Our young master is of noble status, and outsiders are not allowed to approach. We have money, so if you want to hire him, you can hire him. If you have money, you can do it too. If you don't have money, get out of here!"

Ningshuang is relying on the money to force Yu Suihuan and the others to leave so that she can avenge what happened in the afternoon.

The shopkeeper was in a dilemma looking at the big silver ingot. All the rooms in their small inn were full. At the most expensive level, five taels of silver could not be spent all. Now, five taels of silver were lying there, and he was not as honest as the owner of the carriage shop.

"This... Sir, I will return the money you gave me. Please stay somewhere else!"

Five taels of silver, he couldn't earn that much in a month!
