Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

"The horse is still faster!"

"That's right. Driving a horse-drawn carriage is almost twice as fast as driving an ox-drawn carriage."

"You said that it only takes an hour and a half to get from the town to the county, so why is it so far from the town to the prefecture?"

"But it takes less time to get from Yong'an Town to Jizhou Prefecture than to Yongzhou. It only takes three days if you travel by carriage during the day."

"So our town is at the junction of two state capitals?"

"Well, judging from the topographic map of Yongzhou, Yongzhou is not a regular shape. There are large protrusions to the north and west. The protrusion to the west is Yong'an Town."

"Where is the capital city?"

Jiang Ci suddenly thought of the prosperous capital city and the majestic palace that she saw on TV.

Only then did I realize that the dynasty he belonged to was also an imperial dynasty.

The main reason is that life in their village is too comfortable and there are no evil officials causing trouble.

"Go west past Jizhou and you will reach the capital. The capital is to the west and north of Yong'an Town."

"After passing Jizhou, how long does it take to get to the capital?"

"It will take six days to reach the capital city, and another day and a half to enter the inner city and its bustling streets."

“It’s not very far.”

"You can go and play later."

The sun was high in the sky, but luckily they were walking with their backs to the sun, otherwise they would not be able to open their eyes because of the sunlight.

"Come in, Ah Ci. It's hot outside. Sit inside and open the window to look at the surrounding scenery."

"Okay, I'll go in then."

Jiang Ci went into the carriage and took out a straw hat from the backpack and put it on Lin Jingsheng, "Wear it to keep cool."

Jiang Ci rolled up the curtains on the car compartment and the front driving seat and tied them up with ropes.

The small curtains on both sides and at the back were also rolled up, and the horse pulled the carriage forward. The wind blowing through the windows and hitting my body felt so comfortable.

Especially the road we just turned onto, with tall and lush trees on both sides, the road is full of shade cast by the trees. When the carriage passes through, the wind blowing on our bodies is cool.

This boring journey, with the company of my lover, even if we don’t say a word, will not feel boring and will treat this as a journey.

"Ah Sheng, let me sing a song for you!"

"Okay, it turns out Ah Ci can sing, why didn't you tell me about it until now?"

The songs Jiang Ci sang were modern pop songs. She sang whatever song came to her mind and sang them in bits and pieces for Lin Jingsheng.

These were tunes and lyrics that Lin Jingsheng had never heard before.

However, he felt that these were all extremely pleasant to the ears when Jiang Ci sang them.

Jiang Ci sang a few songs that were suitable for this atmosphere.

"How's it going? Does it sound good?"

Lin Jingsheng looked at it and said, "It sounds good. It sounds very good."

"Don't lie to me, are you used to listening to songs like this?"

"I'm not lying to you. As long as it's Ah Ci's voice, it sounds good."

The filter is eight hundred meters thick.

At noon, we found a place under the shade of a tree and parked the car, letting the horses eat the grass on the ground.

Jiang Ci took out the food she had prepared, the egg pancakes she had made in the morning, and some pickles she had brought with her, and the two of them ate with gusto.

Lin Jingsheng opened the bamboo tube filled with water and handed it to Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci took a few big gulps and almost choked.

"Aren't there cakes and pastries on the bus? Why don't you fill your stomach first if you're hungry?"

"I didn't feel hungry when I was in the carriage, but as soon as I smelled the food, I became hungry. I just ate in a hurry."

After eating and resting for a while, we set off again.

Jiang Ci really admired Lin Jingsheng. Even though it was such a long way to the provincial capital, he still knew the way and didn't need a map or anything to help him identify the direction.

At first, Jiang Ci also thought about driving the carriage and letting Lin Jingsheng rest inside the carriage.

Lin Jingsheng said something very realistic and convincing to him, "You don't know the way."

Well, just this one sentence blocked all the excuses that Jiang Ci had prepared.

They arrived at a town in the evening. This was the first time that Jiang Ci came to a town other than Yong'an Town.

Jiang Ci: "Is this town in Changyun County?"

"No, we left Changyun County in the afternoon. We will stay here tonight and continue our journey tomorrow."

It was evening in this town and there was no trace of the bustle it had during the day, but just looking at the shops on the street, they all seemed to be quite old.

Jiang Ci was still leaning on the carriage window looking outside when the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Aci is down, we're at the inn."

"it is good."

Jiang Ci came down and carried the backpack on his back.

Lin Jingsheng handed the horse reins to the waiter, and the waiter pulled their carriages to the back.

Let the horses eat some grass and have a rest.

They asked for a medium-sized room, and when they got to the room, Jiang Ci looked around. It was her first time staying in a hotel, so it was always new.

There was only one bed in the room, so it seemed quite large, about the same size as a standard room in a modern hotel.

But it's much more expensive than that.

At night, I extinguished the candle in this room and, in the unfamiliar environment, listened to the slight noises coming from other rooms and the sounds of drinking and laughing in the lobby downstairs.

Jiang Ci felt the hands on his waist and the warmth of the person beside him, which made him feel extremely at ease.

Lin Jingsheng stroked Jiang Ci's hair and said, "Can't sleep?"

"Sleep now."

"Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."

After four days, they finally arrived at the provincial capital.

The sun was still very hot at 3 p.m. Jiang Ci wore a straw hat and sat outside with Lin Jingsheng.

I saw the city wall in front of me from afar. It was really majestic and there were guards on it.

The closer you get to the city gate, the more people there are on the road.

When we got there, we saw a queue and two or three carriages in front.

People and carriages walked separately.

After entering the city gate, Jiang Ci was even more shocked by the scene inside.

The road is several dozen meters wide and is paved with bluestone slabs. Horse-drawn and donkey-drawn carts run in the middle, and pedestrians walk on both sides. Two rows of tall trees are planted on both sides of the road.

Jiang Ci said something very ignorant, "This place is so different from our town!"

Lin Jingsheng: "Let's go eat first. We didn't have a good lunch."

"go!"

On a street with many restaurants, they walked around and found a restaurant where the people eating there seemed to be ordinary people.

Going to such a restaurant for dinner doesn't cost much and it also avoids a lot of trouble.

In the restaurant, I ate delicious food and listened to people at the next table talking about interesting things in the city.

"Hey, have you heard that the youngest son of the prefect was kicked out of Fengxianlou while eating?"

"We have met an important person! Even the young master of the prefect's family can be driven out. This Fengxian Building is really a precious place in Yongzhou Prefecture."

"Do you know who drove them out?"

"Yes, where is this big shot from?"

"This... How can ordinary people like us know this?"

"Choosing the neck and keeping people on suspense."
