Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Bai Shan put down the curtain and said to Man Bao, who was yawning, "Now you can relax and sleep for a while, and I'll call you when you get there."

Man Bao pulled out a soft pillow from the belly of the car, "Then I'll squint for a while, remember to call me."

Bai Shan nodded, watching her sleeping on the wooden table with the soft pillow, the carriage swaying, it might be uncomfortable at first, but when the speed is not fast, it doesn't feel bumpy, on the contrary, it is more suitable for sleeping .

Man Bao quickly fell asleep.

By the time she was woken up, they had already arrived at the inn.

The inn is alone in a forest, next to the official road, and the nearby wasteland has traces of carriages and horses, and the carriages can be parked when they are leveled out.

Even the horse shed is outside the house, so I randomly circled a place, surrounded it with wood, and sparsely covered it with some thatch, it was considered a horse shed.

Man Bao and the others walked this road when they rushed to Xiazhou before, but because they were marching fast, they missed the station except when they needed to change horses, so they had no impression of this station at all.

This was the most dilapidated inn she had ever seen. Not only was the stables very perfunctory, but even the houses of the inn were a little dilapidated.

Bai Shan stared at the roof for a long time, afraid that it would fly away when the wind blows at night.

Others just looked at it, but Liu Huan couldn't help but exclaimed, "This station is too broken, isn't it?"

The courier came out of the inn to welcome him. Hearing that, he glanced at Liu Huan, then looked away, and after swept over everyone, he greeted Mr. Zhuang, "Is this lord going to stay here?"

Mr. Zhuang nodded, introduced himself first, and then introduced Man Bao, "This is the chief official of our trip, Mr. Zhou, the editor of Chongwen Museum."

Yi Cheng was stunned, reacted, and immediately stepped forward to greet him, "It turned out to be Imperial Physician Zhou, Imperial Physician Zhou, please come in."

Obviously, as the only female official today, Yicheng also knew her.

Man Bao nodded and asked everyone to put the carriages and horses away, and then entered with the Yicheng, "Is there enough room to live in? If there is not enough, everyone will squeeze."

The postmaster tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, "The small station is a bit shabby, and there are not many good rooms, so the adults need to squeeze in, and two people can live in one room."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, "There are only five rooms on the second floor, all of them are upper rooms, so..."

Man Bao said: "Enough."

Mr. Zhuang and Nie can live in one room, two pedestrians in one room, Man Bao and Zhou Liru in one room, Yin He and Liu Huan in one room, and Bai Shan and Bai Er in one room.

But fortunately, no other officials in the same way have passed by now, otherwise Bai Shan and the others would definitely not have been in a room, and they would have to choose a room on the basis of quality.

Bai Shan looked up and down. The tables and chairs inside were all missing arms and legs. He couldn't help but wonder, "How far is it from here to the town?"

The postman said quickly, "Going down from here is Yi's County, and it's about 40 miles away."

"Isn't there a town on the way?"

The postmaster shook his head, "Forget about the town, there isn't even a big village. If adults want to live in the village, they have to be far away from the official road."

He smiled and said, "However, very few people stop here at Xiaguan. Most of them stop in the villages in front of them for the night, and then catch up with the day's journey to Yi's County the next day."

Bai Shan knew that they were staying at the rush station and missed the news.

He glanced at Man Bao, smiled and said, "It can be seen that this is fate."

"It's fate, it's fate." Yicheng was afraid of offending them, so he repeatedly bowed in response, and then let them rest first, and he immediately went to prepare hot water and hot rice.

God is pitiful to see, he may not have a single guest in ten days and a half months, so the stove is only the food and hot water that he eats and drinks.

Suddenly so many people came...

Yicheng was a little flustered.

Bai Shan guessed that he was sweating on his forehead in a cold day, turned his head and said to Daji, "You can ask someone to help, and do what you can do yourself."

Daji responded, turned around and let the guards put the carriage in one place to take care of it, and the horses and mules also prepared their own food and grass to feed.

There were not many people in the inn. There was one courier and two helpers, and the courier gave the quota to his mother-in-law and son very favorably.

One is working in the kitchen, the other is supporting.

Although Xiaopo Station has no customers and almost no extra income, there is still a monthly salary from the imperial court, which is not much, but it also makes their lives better than ordinary people.

Because there was no preparation, Yicheng not only called his wife and son over, but also brought his daughter and younger son to work, and asked them to quickly boil water to cook.

Then he started squatting and distressed, "What are so many people eating?"

His mother-in-law hesitated for a moment and then said, "How about you take out all the bacon left over from the Chinese New Year at home and make it?"

They are all adults, so they can't be neglected.

The postman nodded, "That's not enough, let's kill the chickens in our house."

His mother-in-law was a little unhappy, "I'm still young, it's just over two pounds in total, and there's not much meat left after the hair is removed."

She still wants to raise eggs.

The postman said in a low voice, "What do you know, this time it's a high-ranking official. This imperial doctor of Zhou is famous. She was the one who treated the disease that caused such a big outbreak during the New Year. Such a high-ranking official came here. She didn't have two meat dishes, and when she turned around, she got angry and told her boss, can I still be a postmaster?"

Then his mother-in-law walked to the broken shed behind the inn with a sad face, where their chickens were raised.

Man Bao and the others put their luggage in the house, and Keke told her that there was an unlisted plant behind the inn, so Man Bao carried his small medicine hoe to the back.

Bai Shan followed her and said, "If you want to dig flowers and plants, we can go into the woods to find them later. Now is the time when the plants and trees are recovering, maybe we can find mushrooms."

Man Bao: "It's not raining, how can there be mushrooms?"

When the two arrived at the back, they saw a particularly beautiful plant on the edge of the vegetable field. They said that it was beautiful because it had green leaves and luxuriant branches. Also well cared for.

Because of this, the two did not make a move for a while.

This thing doesn't look wild at first glance. If they want to dig it, they must ask the owner, right?

I was squatting and researching when I heard footsteps, and when I turned around, I saw a woman approaching aggressively with a knife.

Man Bao and Bai Shan invariably shrank their necks, first moved back subconsciously, and moved away from the plant to show that they had no bad thoughts about it.

As a result, the woman who approached aggressively did not see the two squatting on the edge of the vegetable field, but went straight to the dilapidated shed next to her.

As soon as she stepped in, the two of them soon heard the sound of chickens screaming and flapping their wings.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief together, looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter, then got up and walked over to talk to the woman.

See you at 6 pm
