I just want to travel fast

Chapter 163 My mother-in-law is omnipotent 23 (Thank you xmact for your great reward!)

After the fifteenth day, Li Yaoxian went to school to study. He needed to take the Spring Examination in March this year. Originally, the provincial examination was supposed to be in August every year. However, when the new emperor ascended the throne and needed talents urgently, he added an additional exam just to attract talented people from all over the world.

In mid-February, in the early morning, Li Dazhu was sent to the state capital to rent a small yard, cleaned up in advance and prepared rice, grain, oil and noodles, and waited for them to go there in the early morning.

In the early hours of the morning, I planned to take the eldest family out this time. Of course, the children will not be taken for the time being, and they will be put at their grandma's house. Li Erzhu and Mrs. Zhou will watch the house at home. The creek is too small, and it is too cold to go out. The child cannot yet leave the mother.

Another thing I did before setting off in the early morning was to secretly graft the apple branches in the space to the sand fruit tree in the backyard. The apples in the space tasted really good after being appraised by early morning and 478.

I did everything I could do in the early morning. As for whether it can be done, it depends on God.

Then we found a sunny day and rented a carriage with the help of Liu Wenru, and they set off on the road. Originally, Liu Wenru planned to lend his carriage to Xiao Wen, but no one in the family knew how to drive the carriage alone. It's not a good idea to hire a rickshaw driver. You can't let someone carry you on your legs on the return trip.

When Liu Wenru saw this, he stopped insisting and gave some of his treasured notes to Li Yao first. Liu Piaopiao also prepared an indigo jacket and some food for everyone to eat on the way, but in the early hours of the morning, he felt that it must not be the case. I was embarrassed to find such an excuse for the third child alone.

Accepting her kindness in the early hours of the morning has already passed the clear path, so it is not considered a private offer.

The road to the state capital is relatively long, and the ice on the road is melting as the weather gets warmer, so I walked for a day and a night. When I was resting, I found an inn to stay for a night. At this time, I didn’t want to save money. When you are outdoors, in case you get sick, the loss outweighs the gain.

When Li Dazhu left, he made an appointment with him in the early morning, and it was only about a day away. When he approached the city gate, he saw Li Dazhu outside the city gate in the early morning.

He might have come out a little early and was stomping his feet back and forth. Seeing him in the early morning, he quickly called him into the carriage to warm up, and then according to his guidance, everyone came to the small courtyard he had rented before.

The coachman helped everyone move Dongxi out of the carriage. He paid the fare in the early morning and gave an extra 10 Wen. A Chase shop is also good.

The coachman thanked Chen Chen with auspicious words, then put on the carriage and left.

In the house, Li Dazhu first burned the kang for the third child's house, so that the third child could go in to study first. There was already a kang in the state capital, and in the early morning, he and Tian were packing up the things they brought from home. When the weather is fine, let's dry the quilt. That's right, they brought quilts with them for this trip in the early morning. They covered them when the carriage was cold, and they could put them in the rented house to cover them when they were used up.

Then I brought some food, dried vegetables and the like, just because I was afraid that I might not get used to the food here.

We ate a little casually at noon. After working in a carriage for a day and a night, no one had any appetite.

After the meal, Tian and Lao San were asked to rest for a while in the early morning. The journey was tiring, and people would easily get sick if they didn't get enough rest.

In the early morning, Li Dazhu was left alone and asked him to talk about what he had learned about the situation in the state capital. The task given to Li Dazhu in the early morning was not only to rent a house, but also to ask him to find out which pharmacy in the state capital was more reliable. , I planned to sell the ginseng in the early morning.

Now the state government has sold this 30-year-old plant. If there is a chance in the future, the others can go to Yanjing. After Song Gongming established a new dynasty, he moved the capital from Henan to Yanjing.

Li Dazhu told Qingchen what she had found out, and Qingchen chose a pharmacy called "Hundred Medicine Hall" from among them, and she planned to visit it tomorrow.

From Li Dazhu's description, I learned in the early morning that the doctors in this pharmacy have better medical skills, the shopkeeper does not ask for random prices, and even lends credit to those who don't have enough money, and the apprentices are not snobbish.

The next day, I followed Li Dazhu out in the early morning. Before going out, I told my third son to read in a targeted manner and to balance work and rest. Now he would read more of Liu Wenru's notes.

Li Dazhu led Wen Qing to "Baicaotang". Wen Qing did not go in first. Instead, he sat in the teahouse opposite and ordered a pot of tea with Li Dazhu to observe what was going on opposite.

The pharmacy is monitored by 478, which mainly monitors the situation of the shopkeeper and apprentices, and then uses their conversations to see if there is any backend in this pharmacy.

Qingchen was quite satisfied with the results of the investigation, took out a few copper coins and put them on the table, and led Li Dazhu into the door of the pharmacy in Qingchen.

As for 478, he has already slipped out to play, and the state capital and the county town have different scenery, so let 478 go out and look around to see what delicious food there is.

An apprentice in the pharmacy came up to greet Qing Chen: "Auntie, do you want to see a doctor or take medicine?"

You are the aunt, your family is full of aunts, and my mother is not yet 40 years old this year!
However, this body already has grandchildren, so it would be nice not to be called grandma.

"I don't take medicine or see a doctor. I have something to ask your shopkeeper, and I would like to ask the little doctor to inform you."

The apprentice didn't get annoyed when he heard this, and led Chen Chen to sit down. He had also received such people before, and those who were looking for the shopkeeper usually had some medicinal materials to sell, so he never neglected.

Not long after, the young apprentice came over with the shopkeeper, and then went to the back of the medicine cabinet.

The two sides introduced themselves. The shopkeeper of this "Baicaotang" was surnamed Sun, and they called him Shopkeeper Sun directly in the early morning.

Without being long-winded, he got straight to the point in the early morning: "Shopkeeper Sun, I have a ginseng plant here that I want to sell to your pharmacy. I don't know the price?"

"I don't know how it looks?" Shopkeeper Sun is also a cheerful person.

When I was at home, I gave Li Dazhu the cloth bag with ginseng in the early morning. Now, after listening to shopkeeper Sun's words, I signaled Li Dazhu to take out the ginseng.

Li Dazhu received the signal, carefully opened the cloth bag and placed it on the table.

Shopkeeper Sun glanced at it, his pupils tightened, and he quickly signaled the two of them to wrap up the cloth bag and take it, and then followed him into the inner courtyard.

Ginseng is considered a rarity these days, and those old ginseng in good quality are in the hands of aristocratic families.

In the inner hall, shopkeeper Sun asked someone to make a pot of tea, and then asked Li Dazhu to spread out the cloth bag before he started. He first took a look at the appearance, and found that the roots were neat and the appearance was very good. It was about 30 years old. , and then pinched a little bit of ginseng and put it in his mouth to chew. The authentic freshly unearthed wild ginseng has not lost its medicinal effect at all, which is considered a small best.

Shopkeeper Sun couldn't put it down. He looked at the rag bag containing ginseng and looked at Qingchen complainingly. Then he took out a sandalwood box and put it in it. The sandalwood box was also wrapped in red silk.

Looking at shopkeeper Sun's behavior in the early morning, she knew the price in her heart, and she raised the price again.

After some bargaining, the ginseng was sold for 150 taels.

Shopkeeper Sun also specially gave me a 100-tael banknote, four 10-tael silver ingots and 10-tael pieces of silver.

I took the money in the early morning, thanked shopkeeper Sun, and dragged Li Dazhu, who was a little dazed, out of the pharmacy.

When I got home, I bought ready-made lunch to take back based on 478's tips. The taste of 478 was trustworthy in the early hours of the morning.

In the afternoon, early in the morning, I went to the streets with Tian's family to find Ren Yazi, and hired a cook to help with the cooking. There was a person in the family who needed a scientific examination, so the two of them's craftsmanship would not be a disaster to others.
