Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Everyone gathered around the stove and talked for more than an hour, until Mr. Zhuang felt sleepy and everyone dispersed.

In a place like the post station, there is only one house within a radius of five miles, so at night, I always sleep when it's dark, and the postman's eyes are almost squinting when he returns.

His mother-in-law couldn't help muttering, "The people in the city are weird. They don't sleep when it's dark, and they sit together and gossip."

Yicheng said: "Don't talk nonsense, I think these adults are just as they say in the play, they are observing the sentiments of the people."

"We are just a family of five here, what are the feelings of the people?"

Yicheng: "...They asked a lot of things, but we didn't ask much about our family. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

His mother-in-law couldn't help muttering, "I don't understand why, by the way, do you know where they dug the mountain pepper?"

"Where did the digging go?"

"I just want to ask you if I don't know. I also wanted to find a broken wooden barrel for them to plant, but I took it and shook it around and didn't see where it was stored."

The Yicheng didn't care, "Maybe you will get a car. There are so many cars from those nobles. Don't go there and hang around. We can't say if anything is lost."

"I know, I just took a look at it from a distance. The mountain pepper is not small, how can I put it in the car..."

The Yicheng had already fallen asleep.

The couple got up before dawn the next day, woke up a few children, and made breakfast for them.

After Man Bao and the others ate a bowl of noodles, they left and continued to Xiazhou.

They don't go very fast, and they stop and rest for two days when they come across a good or interesting place.

Nie Canjun belonged to the Yin family. Knowing that Yin was not in good health, he naturally had no problem with the convoy stopping to rest, but the two pedestrians at Honglu Temple were anxious for a while.

But following Mr. Zhuang and the others climbing the mountain, visiting local famous doctors, and meeting local officials and some people, they gradually adapted to everyone's rhythm and knew that they would go down like this, not to mention the planned five months. It would be nice to be able to return to Chang'an in five years.

Turning around and thinking, in terms of age, Mr. Zhuang is older than them; in terms of future, Bai Shan, Zhou Man, Bai Cheng, whoever singled out is far older than them, time is more precious to them than the two of them.

They are not in a hurry, so they don't need to be in a hurry.

So he also began to wander freely, and occasionally discussed with Mr. Zhuang about the collection of classics and history.

The two pedestrians were born in the Mingjing department, but they also yearned for the jinshi department, so they could ask Mr. Zhuang for some unknown places.

And Mr. Zhuang and others also want to learn some languages ​​on the grasslands and the Western Regions with them. For a time, the wind of learning in the team was particularly strong.

Man Bao, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had been preparing for this two years earlier, so they knew some everyday expressions.

However, what they learned was either Mandarin or the language of a large clan, and they were not as many as the two pedestrians, let alone proficient.

So they've been learning languages ​​with them lately.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Liru was the one who learned the fastest.

Bai Shan and Man Baoyin may be known as Bo Wen's strong memorizers, but a sentence has to be repeated several times before it can be remembered and repeated, and it always comes with various accents and needs constant correction.

But Zhou Liru learned it after listening to it twice more.

And she has a very good memory for these languages. What she learned today can basically be remembered the next day, and then she can use it to talk to the two pedestrians.

By the time of Xiazhou, Zhou Liru had already written down some of the words he used on a daily basis, but there was still a tendency to surpass Bai Er who had prepared in advance.

Bai Er couldn't help but say Bai Shan and Man Bao, "Look at you, you have learned from others for more than a year, but you are not as good as her 20 days of learning from others."

Bai Shan:  …

Man Bao was not convinced: "What about you, have you caught up with my niece?"

Bai Erlang: "I didn't, that's because I've never learned well, and you haven't learned well."

Yin He said: "It's still too late to learn."

Liu Huan hesitated: "It's too late, after Xiazhou is the grassland. Anyway, there are two pedestrians, why do we have to learn the language by ourselves?"

Everyone looked at him together, and then said, "You'll know when you get to the mutual market."

The convoy slowly arrived under the Xiazhou city gate. Man Bao lifted the curtain of the car and raised his head to look at the high city gate.

At this time, Xiazhou was a little different from when they left. There were more pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate, and they were more popular.

Some guards came forward with the documents. They were a team of imperial envoys, so they entered directly from the other side of the city gate.

They slowly entered the city on this side, and the city guard who had only read the document on the other side immediately sent someone to inform Yang Heshu from the governor's mansion.

When entering the city, Man Bao put down the curtains, nothing alarming, but the city guard who read the documents kept staring at the convoy, and when the convoy was halfway through, he couldn't help but grab a person and asked, "Didn't it say that Imperial Physician Zhou was in the team? What about people?"

"Miss Man is in the second car. Do you know our Miss Man?"

When the city guard heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "We people in Xiazhou City don't recognize Zhou Taiyi. Have you seen the three pockmarks on my face? Zhou Taiyi has been cured."

Guard: ... I have a pockmark on my face, what's there to be proud of?

The city guard is proud that he survived this smallpox. He was from the military camp, and the last survivors who got smallpox in the military camp were cured by Zhou Man's treatment.

He only left three pockmarks, much stronger than the others.

Now that Imperial Physician Zhou had passed, he could only let go of him regretfully and watched the convoy slowly enter the city.

After entering the city, Man Bao lifted the curtain and looked outside again.

Bai Shan also looked out. He and Man Bao said, "Xiazhou City is different from before."

Man Bao nodded, "They have more smiles on their faces, and the traces of smallpox are no longer visible."

Bai Shan's mouth curled slightly and said, "Brother Yang's ability is beyond doubt."

The convoy continued in the direction of the inn.

The station in Xiazhou City was near the county office, and the convoy came to one side. Someone from the governor's house greeted him and said to Zhou Man: "Master Zhou, just leave the convoy to the younger ones, and we will send them to the station. The adults said that in The mansion has prepared water and wine, please let the gentlemen go over to rest first, and the gentlemen will live in the governor's mansion for the past two days, and let us, my lords, do the best of our friendship."

Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other and nodded.

So the six of them took Mr. Zhuang to the Governor's Mansion first.

The carriage and horses listened directly to the side door of the governor's mansion, and Mrs. Cui stood at the side door to greet them, she smiled and said, "Husband, he is still busy in front of him, so he can't get away for the time being, but someone told me, let me treat them well. you."

She smiled and said, "Knowing that you are coming, I cleaned up the two courtyards early, and you will live here, which is better than the inn."

Man Bao responded with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother my school sister-in-law."

Cui Shi smiled and said you were welcome, she asked, "How many days can you stay in Xiazhou?"

Man Bao said: "I want to see the situation in Xiazhou first."

She also wanted to know about the later health of these smallpox patients and see if the medication had any adverse effects on their bodies.

By the way, let's inquire about the situation on the grassland.
