After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Madam Yao took the list of servants and began to call out their names: "Xiao Baiying, Xiao Mutong, Xiao Muxiang, Xiao Old Nanny..."

Old Madam Xiao’s grandchildren, and the other five apprentices of the Xiao family clinic.

Zhu Yiqing has three brothers and sisters.

Zhu Sanhong and Grandma Zhu.

Xu's mother and daughter, Xu Zhengmao's family of three, and Xu Zhengmao's wife's cousin - Su Sanping.

Mrs. Yao’s four nephews and nieces - Yao Baimei, Yao Xiaoyan, Yao Dayan, and Yao Xiaoge.

Zhu Xuewei and Zhu Xuemo.

Soon, Madam Yao finished the roll call and went into the house to report, "Young Master, there are a total of 32 servants in the Qin family. Except for Zhu Liushi and his wife who are guarding the house, and Mr. Xun who lives in Wuze Medicine Store, the other 29 servants are all here."

Qin Xiaomi nodded: "Yes. Let them have breakfast first, and then prepare for the trip. We will set off at 15:30."

"Yes." Madam Yao went to arrange it immediately.

After eating the hot and solid whole-grain egg pancakes, the group of people went to prepare things for keeping warm on the road, checked the carriages and horses, checked the medicinal herbs and various supplies to be transported back to the village, and moved the luggage... After half an hour of hard work, everything was ready.

The Huang and Jia families were also ready, but Huang Yanglong stayed in bed until just before noon, when Xiaobai carried him into the carriage, shouting, "Master Qin, we can set off now!"

After hearing this, Grandpa Qin thanked Manager Xue Liu, said goodbye to him and his friends, left the inn through the back door, and was escorted by Qu Da to the city gate.

When they arrived at the city gate, Old Man Xun, the people from Wu Ze Pharmacy, Zhao Yongcheng and his grandchildren, Yan Da and his friends, and Chief Steward Peng, who had not been seen for a long time, were already waiting there.

The most surprising thing was that Tang Changan also came to see him off.

"Old Master, Young Master, this old servant is here!" Old Man Xun, carrying a lot of things on his back, walked towards the Qin family's carriage with all his strength. He stuck close to the carriage and asked for credit, "Young Master, Wu Ze Medicine Store gave the Qin family a lot of things, including medicinal materials, medical books, and medicine manuals. We made a fortune."

These large and small bags of medicinal herbs alone are worth more than ten taels of silver.

In the donkey cart next to him, Grandpa Qin said, "Mr. Xun, just take the medical books and medicine books, and return the herbs."

Old man Xun refused and held the bag tightly on his back.

Shopkeeper Wu came over and said, "Brother Qin, these are just some tokens of my appreciation. Please accept them. Otherwise, I will always feel bad."

After hearing this, Grandpa Qin accepted it and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu."

There is no point in wasting time by repeatedly making excuses. Next time he comes to the capital, his family will send a cart of colored cloth to Wu Ze Pharmacy.

The two grandsons of the Zhao family were reluctant to let the Qin family leave. With tears in their eyes, they assured, "Grandpa Qin, we are in the pharmacy every day and will take good care of the mare. Don't worry."

The mare's diseased hoof had not healed yet, so she couldn't travel far, so she stayed at the Wuzhe Medicine Shop. She would ride back to the village after the hoof healed.

Grandpa Qin smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Yan Da and his friends came over with a basket of sticky rice dumplings. "Grandpa Qin, these are sticky rice dumplings made by our families. When you're hungry, just roast them over the fire and you can eat them. They're very soft, sticky and sweet. You can take them with you on the way."

Sticky rice dumplings are made of corn and red beans, and sugar is added into them. They are expensive items nowadays. It costs a lot of money to make such a big basket, but Yan Da and his friends still think the gift is too small.

"Oh, there are sticky rice dumplings. Uncle Zhao always talks about this delicacy. My husband and I must eat it to our heart's content." Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin had already jumped out of the car, snatched the basket from Yan Da's hand, immediately lifted the cloth cover, picked up the food and started eating.

Grandpa Qin scolded, "You two should shut up right now. The guests are here. How can you just eat the farewell gift from them?"

Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin didn't care. After finishing the sticky bean buns in their hands, they grinned and said, "It's delicious, sweet and sticky, and has the unique fragrance of corn... Niece, you should have one too, this is made in your name!"

roll!

Qin Xiaomi didn't want to accompany them in embarrassment, so she took Xiao Baiying and Yao Niangzi to see the chief steward Peng.

Not far away, Tang Changan looked at Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin and thought that this couple was quite interesting.

"General Manager Peng, congratulations on your family becoming citizens." Qin Xiaomi congratulated him and said, "General Manager Peng, if there are any good properties in the city that you want to sell, please remember the Qin family."

Qin Cunquan, Qin Eryong, and Xu Qiao's families haven't opened shops yet, so her family has to keep an eye on them. After all, real property is always better than banknotes.

Chief Steward Peng said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I'm still working for the government office and will help the Qin family keep an eye out."

General Peng only freed his children from slavery, but he himself remained a slave.

He had worked in the official yamen for too long and was involved in too many things, so it was difficult for him to leave. Moreover, if he left the official yamen, he would not be able to serve as the chief steward, and his family would lose their support. Therefore, after discussion, the whole family decided that Chief Steward Peng would not leave the official yamen.

"Thank you, Mr. Peng." Qin Xiaomi expressed his gratitude.

It was freezing cold, and the cold wind made our faces numb and painful. Grandpa Qin was afraid that everyone would catch a cold, so he quickly said goodbye to each family. A quarter of an hour later, he got in the car and left the city.

Qu Da was reluctant to leave Jiang Dalang, Jia Xiang and the others, and shouted, "I'll come and visit you guys after the New Year!"

Jia Xiang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, we'll wait for you."

After the convoys of the Qin, Huang and Jia families drove away, the people who came to see them off left one after another.

After Manager Wu and his companions left, the people from Changji Pharmacy who had been hiding in the distance came out, rushed back to the store, and reported to Zou and Lu about the Qin family's departure.

Manager Lu frowned slightly: "Boss, Tang Changan actually went to see the Qin family off in person."

Shopkeeper Zou laughed: "Why? He's just a lackey of a general. Is he worth being afraid of?"

He added: "He's just a lackey, don't worry about it. If Tang Changan really goes against us because he helps the Qin family, we will help General Chi get a lackey."

I don’t know what kind of rice they eat, but they are so full and they just like to stare at the Qin family.

……

The Qin family knew nothing about this and continued on their journey in the severe cold.

Huang Yanglong, a southern barbarian, was so cold that he huddled in the carriage and shivered. When he stopped to eat lunch, he learned that the carriage Qin Xiaomi was riding in was driven by Jiang Dalang. He was so angry that he shouted, "Daughter of the Qin family, don't you have servants at home? Why do you let Brother Jiang drive? He is your fiancé, your god, not your driver!"

"Master Huang, if you are sick, take medicine. You won't be cured by just shouting. It will only make your condition worse!" Qin Xiaomi replied leisurely while roasting sticky rice dumplings on the stove in the car.

Huang Yanglong was so angry that he wanted to rush out of the carriage to quarrel, but it was too cold outside and he did not dare to lift the curtain.

Jiang Dalang couldn't bear to see Huang Yanglong talking about Qin Xiaomi, so he said, "Master Huang, this little bit of cold wind is nothing. At the end of last year, we braved the wind and snow to come to Northeast Province."

At that time, there were victims freezing to death or suffering from frostbite every day. It was several times more miserable than leading troops to fight in his previous life.

Now it’s just driving in the cold wind, no big deal.

Huang Yanglong was shocked and wanted to ask in detail, but when he thought about the fact that many relatives of the Qin family died on the way to escape famine, he held back.

After lunch, the team set off again. However, due to the cold weather, the speed was 20% slower than when they came to the city, and it got dark early, so they only traveled half the distance of when they came to the city.

Fortunately, there are villas of the Qu family, Xue family, and Jia family along the way where they can stay, so the Qin family does not have to worry about missing their place to stay.

After staying overnight in the Xue family's villa, the convoy set off again early the next morning. In the afternoon, they met Xue Dongjia and his group who were rushing from the village to the capital to celebrate the New Year.
