Cui Hao took all the dowry back and delivered it to the gate. Lin Qian ignored him and asked Duan Jin to drive away.

"Zhaozhao, don't you want to see Xiaolang?"

"Mr. Lang will definitely take good care of him."

When she returned to her residence, she divided the dowry she brought back into several parts. She had to take the money with her. Jiaozi hadn't appeared yet. The most commonly used items were copper coins and broken silver. She had to stop and buy when passing through villages or major cities along the way.

The dowry village and shop are left to the eldest cousin to take care of, and the money is converted into money every year.

Lin Qian picked out a few rarer items from the dowry list, such as Dongzhu from the north, calligraphy and paintings by former painters, etc. and put them into boxes. These were gifts for several cousins ​​​​and the Marquis of Xiangyang. After all, they Very helpful.

The Marquis of Xiangyang sent over a simple map with the Tang family's exile route marked on it. Lin Qian studied it and found that the general direction was similar to what she expected.

Traveling to Lingnan is not easy due to the five ridges that cross it, making it difficult for vehicles and horses to pass through, dangerous rapids, and snakes, insects, tigers, and leopards.

There was really no other place suitable for exile in the Wei Dynasty. There were Turks in the north and Tubo in the west. Now the only choice is to the south.

This road is a continuous land and water transport, starting from Lin'an to Yuzhang, passing through the Meiguan Ancient Road to Zhenjiang, and finally from Beijiang Xijiang to Guangzhou.

Lin Qian entered the space and compared it with the modern map, and then asked the little yellow ball to calculate the distance of both parties. They should be able to meet at the Meiguan Ancient Road.

The Meiguan Ancient Road is a famous ancient southward migration route. Its modern geographical location is located at the junction of Dayu County, Jiangxi Province and Nanxiong City, Guangdong Province. It is also called "Meiling" because of the numerous plum trees.

Most of the population migration, military mobilization, and business travel pass through this road, and the people call it "Zhuji Lane".

Lin Qian wrote down the rough daily itinerary on paper and the supply points where she would stop at various places to buy supplies. There was a knock on the door of the house, and Danxin shouted at the door: "Sixteenth Mother, do you want to eat?"

"Come in and talk."

The slave system in the Wei Dynasty was very cruel. Generally speaking, if you went to the government to sign a contract of sale, you would have to change your name to "master" and be beaten to death.

But if she is a hereditary servant and is valued by her master, and has a good reputation in the house, she will be given a name by her master. She can also be called "Sixteenth Mother" like Dan Xin, or "Lady" like Duan Jin.

If you beat the dog to see the master, the hereditary servant's status will be higher, and to a certain extent, his life will be better than that of the lowest servant.

Lin Qian stopped writing and asked, "How are those women?"

"The person who has fainted due to lack of physical strength has asked Dr. Xu to come and prescribe medicine."

Before going out, Lin Qian arranged for Danxin to take the others for an endurance run in the yard. Perhaps because they were used to doing farm work and menial work at home, their physical fitness was better than expected.

After settling down, Lin Qian plans to conduct female special forces training, and female generals are her natural allies.

If given the chance, she would definitely train a team of women who could ride horses onto the battlefield and dare to kill people with a knife.

It took another day to pack up the dowry. The next morning, today's training task was arranged for Danxin. Lin Qian took four servants including Curtain Hat, Lu Cui and others to play on the street.

Lucui and Oriole have been sent back, and they have been doing things calmly and low-key recently.

In the Wei Dynasty, apart from the palaces, markets and other places, the residential areas were divided into "squares", which were similar to modern large-scale communities. There were residences in the squares, as well as shops and small restaurants selling goods, and complete supporting facilities.

For example, the Yongqingfang where she lives now is surrounded by walls and has four gates.

There are people like security guards who are responsible for guarding the gates. At dawn, the gates are opened; when the sun sets, everyone must return to the gates where they live. If you stay on the street after dark, you will be taken away by the patrol team for questioning. Security detention”.

Of course, exceptions are made on the fifteenth day of every month and major festivals, where people are allowed to go out on the streets and stay up all night.

Lin Qian plans to go to the "supermarket" in Lin'an City to buy things today, the East Market, and tomorrow she will go to the West Market.

The day after tomorrow, we will go to the famous commercial street - Zhuque Street. This street runs through the south and north of the city. You can't open a shop here without a backstage, because the end of this road is the Imperial City.

The East Market is huge, with hotels, silk and satin shops, bookstores, pharmacies, blacksmiths, groceries and other shops gathered in it, with a dazzling array of products.

The current price of goods is that one piece of silk is worth three dou of rice, and people's livelihood is very difficult.

After tasting the street food she was interested in, she then went to a silk shop and drug store. Lin Qian wrapped up a piece of the silk she was interested in and sent it back.

I also bought 2 sets of beautiful dresses and skirts with intricate embroidery work to keep as collections. The embroiderer’s craftsmanship is truly exquisite and a perfect work of art.

She went to the drug store to replenish some medicinal materials used in the space. Finally, she went to a restaurant to have a meal, and then went back to the market to continue shopping.

When the moon came over the branches, Lin Qian walked back with lingering thoughts. As soon as she got home, Danxin rushed over: "Dou Dalang sent someone to deliver the letter."

Dou Wei, the eldest cousin who escorted her to join the Tang family.

He took the letter and opened it. The letter started with some condolences, and the final point was that he would set off in three days. There would be a total of 8 people there including his family.

Lin Qian sat down and asked Duan Jin: "Are the carriages, horses and travel supplies ready?"

"Everyone has been sent to Zhuangzi. Who do you plan to take with you?"

Lin Qian was thinking in her mind that the house she lived in now would be entrusted to her eldest cousin, and a few servants would be left to look after the house.

Personal maids like Lu Cui and others were given directly to her cousins. On the way, she only planned to take Dan Xin and the girls she took back and named them Sui Shi, Jia Zhong, Tong Yue, Zhong Lu, and Mang Zhong.

Including Mr. Xu, who was hired with a high salary, and the guards who stayed on Zhuangzi before, there were a total of 52 people on this trip.

Duan Jin said: "With only a few people to serve, I'm afraid I might wrong the girl on the way."

Compared with Tang Shiming and Tang Jiyuan, who brought hundreds of family members, soldiers and handymen with them every time they went out to do business, this time it was a bit aggrieved.

"When you go out, it's better to travel in a light car. It's better to meet my father and mother as soon as possible."

Three days later, Lin Qian was sitting in a spacious carriage, saying goodbye to her relatives and friends.

She and Danxin were sitting in the car. It was quite spacious, with a small cabinet for tea, water and food, and two ice basins at the feet.

The eldest cousin Dou Wei is a young man who talks informally and Lin Qian does not see much emotion on his face.

Dou Wei plays better with his eldest brother Tang Shiming. The relationship between the cousins ​​is usually limited to saying hello when they meet on the road.

The convoy started to set off, and the speed became faster after leaving the city gate.

The official road near Lin'an City was relatively smooth, and there were a few quilts on the carriage. Sitting on it was more stable than Lin Qian imagined. Of course, Duan Jin's driving skills were also good.

We stopped for some snacks at noon, others had sesame seed cakes, and then everyone continued on their way.

Lin Qian sat in the car and began to learn the Tang family's exercises in her memory.

Tang Jigong cultivates both internal and external aspects, cultivating qi and blood internally. The qi and blood of the human body circulate through the internal organs and externally to the limbs. Only by lifting the qi and lightening the body can one fly over the walls.

There are a total of 16 Tang family moves that match the mental skills. You can choose the weapons yourself. Some of the Tang family use long swords, some use maces, and Tang Jiyuan only loves broadswords.

Tang Lang only asked Tang Shiming to teach him the first 12 moves, and the next 4 moves are still passed down from male to female.

Lin Qian compared the "Pear Blossom Gun Technique" and felt that the Tang family's martial arts were not very lethal and were more suitable for surprise assassinations.
