Pet wife Imperial Examination Road

It took more than 20 days to get to the provincial capital, and Yun Yun felt bored for most of the day. In the carriage, he could only hug and kiss Cheng Mu and touch his hands everywhere, but he couldn't make any real progress.

The horses have been running and rest when they are tired. The speed of the whole convoy is not slow.At noon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the post station, and several people who came out of the gorgeous carriage were followed by their companions. They were all ushered into the post station by the coachman, and Xiao Er bent over to welcome them.

Niu Dazhuang knocked on the carriage, Cheng Mu lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage, and then supported Yun Yun to get down as well.

"Are you going to eat at the post station? I'll just bring dry food and eat on the way."

Cheng Mu's affection for Niu Dazhuang increased a bit, and he said, "We don't go in to eat, we brought a pot and rice, and we plan to cook here directly."

"You have worked hard all the way, and your daughter-in-law still has to take the exam. Can you bear the wind and sleep?"

"Brother Niu, do you think I'm that kind of weak? We've already decided to cook by ourselves, and we also brought a bucket of water. When we run out, we'll add it to the station." Yun Yun said.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's eat together, they rest here for an hour, there is still time for us to hurry up and do it."

Cheng Mu went to collect firewood, Niu Dazhuang washed the vegetables with water, and Yun Yun lit the fire. The three cooperated tacitly and soon the rice in the pot began to cook.Yun Yun lit the fire again and set up a fire stove again, and put the prepared bacon and vegetables into the pot to fry. Soon the rice and vegetables were ready, and the three of them cleaned up the pot after eating.

After this meal, Niu Dazhuang and Cheng Mu became more acquainted. The people who entered the station hadn't come out yet, Yun Yun lay resting in the carriage, and Cheng Mu sat in front and talked softly with Niu Dazhuang.

"How did you marry your wife? She looks good." Niu Dazhuang asked directly.

"It's a long story, but I'm really lucky to be with him. Why didn't you marry a wife when you were old?"

"Well, my father just passed away three months ago, and what was left to me was a horse. After my father's funeral, I thought I had to find a way to support myself, so I asked someone to start a driving business. To tell you the truth, today is the first time I take a guest, and no one is willing to be my carriage for half a month, saying that my horse is too small to run far."

"I can see that this is a good horse. Your carriage is much better than those that are only fancy."

"Brother Cheng, thank you very much. This is the first business I have done in a long time. It is worth it for me to meet such a nice person as you."

It's almost the same, everyone in the inn came out, Yunsun pulled Yunwu and yelled loudly, and Xiaoer at the side scolded him, but said that the things in the inn were too expensive, and Xiaoer was not to be outdone, saying that he had no money Just don't come to eat, I don't know how many people bring their own dry food along the way.

Mrs. Yunsun rushed back to the carriage angrily. They were all broken posthouses, so expensive, she didn't even get a tenth of the money she made at home.

Everyone in the convoy arrived and started moving forward again.After walking for more than two hours, we arrived at the post station when it was dark.Cheng Mu went to inquire about the price. It was two hundred Wen per person per night, which was four or five times the usual price. Fortunately, it was summer, so they planned to spend ten Wen to take a bath and then sleep outside.

There are screens on the windows of the carriage, and when the outside windows are opened, there are screens to prevent mosquitoes from coming in.Niu Dazhuang slept directly on the railing outside, and there was a railing in front of him so that he could easily fall down.There was a large gap in the carriage, the two of them slept just right, and the night without dreams went straight to the next morning.

Cheng Mu woke up as soon as the first ray of sunlight came in. He pulled down the window, then went out lightly to wake up Niu Dazhuang, and the two of them made breakfast.

Breakfast is simple white rice porridge and boiled eggs with mustard. There is a small stream next to the post station. Cheng Mu used a wooden basin to fetch a basin of water and waited for Yun Yun to wash up.

After getting enough sleep, Yun Yun put on her clothes and stretched, and Cheng Mu hurriedly brought water to his side.All three of them were drinking hot rice porridge facing the sun.People in the distance woke up one after another, and most of them ate in the station, and those who stayed in the station were naturally also on the first floor of the station.

Niu Dazhuang saw that the business of the post station was so prosperous, he said, "If I can come here to open a post station in the future, wouldn't I be able to make a lot of money."

"That's not necessarily true. Look at those high-ranking officials who pass by and don't dare to collect money, and the robbers around here also eat and drink for free, that is, we are the only ones who are sucked blood." Cheng Mu peeled the eggs and handed them to Yun Yun.

"Speaking of it, I still have to be powerful. I'd better be a coachman seriously. I can earn some money and marry a wife."

"You are right to think like this." Cheng Mu said.

Mrs. Yunsun was eating steamed stuffed buns worth thirty cents and a small cage in the house. Looking at Cheng Muyunyun outside, she felt as sick as if she had eaten a fly.

"Aniang, isn't it too much for us to spend like this?"

"It's a lot, but what can we do? You see, they all brought their own pots and ingredients. We didn't bring anything. If we don't eat here, our mothers will drink the northwest wind."

"But didn't dad tell you to get ready..." Yun Wu muttered.

"Your father usually doesn't say anything, and few people believe what he says. How do I know whether what he said this time is true or not?"

Seeing his aunt like this, Yun Wu felt a little dissatisfied. All matters in the house were presided over by his aunt, especially in the past two years.He didn't dare to say what he thought, and could only let it be manipulated.

There were only two baskets of small steamed buns on the table. Mrs. Yunsun ate one basket, but he couldn't get enough after eating a small basket. The rice porridge was also a few grains of rice sparsely, just like drinking a bowl of water.He was a little envious of Yun Yun's satisfied appearance drinking a bowl of thick rice porridge outside, why did he feel that Yun Yun and Cheng Mu's life together was getting better and better.

Mrs. Yunsun knew that Cheng Mu cooked three meals a day by himself, and that the coachman also ate with them, so he felt even more jealous and disliked him as a coachman.

When they got into the car, Mrs. Yunsun said to the driver in front, "You only need a few taels of silver for this trip, and you can't spend one or two taels on the way. How much money do you guys earn?"

"Auntie, we have our own way to make money, so you don't have to worry about it." The coachman didn't want to talk to Mrs. Yunsun, he babbled along the way, he had never met such a noisy person.Their coachmen often deal with these post stations. The more customers they solicit, the more profitable the post stations are. Naturally, their meals are at normal prices, and they usually settle their bills once a year. On the surface, the accounts are the same, but when they actually collect money, they are different.

The convoy traveled northward, and the weather became cooler and drier as it went north. Without the humidity in the south, everyone felt very comfortable.
