Lin Ji's struggling life

The cool breeze of early autumn blows slightly, taking away the scorching summer, and the whole Yangzhou Mansion will feel a bit more comfortable.When the autumn rains come, there will be one cold and one cold, so-called spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue, Lin Daiyu has become a habit after being raised, and she has to take a nap every day to feel refreshed.

She spent the whole summer with her brother in Suzhou, very carefree, and since she decided to go to the capital, she returned to Yangzhou with Lin Ji, wanting to accompany Lin Ruhai before going to Beijing.

Lin Ji prepared for a long summer before finishing all the preparations for going to the capital.He deliberately missed the scorching summer and chose to travel in the crisp autumn weather. Although the distance was the same, the weather was better and his heart was more comfortable.

This time they went to Beijing, they should be stationed in the capital, so Lin Ji changed the maids and mothers around Lin Daiyu, and he himself also sorted out the personnel arrangement.

Lin Daiyu's nanny, Nanny Wang, retired and stayed with her son in her hometown in Suzhou.So Lin Ji arranged for Lin Xi's wife to follow Lin Daiyu for half the money. It also meant that Lin Xi would be Lin Daiyu's companion, but Bai Fubairong was still the first-class maidservant, and the second-class maids were all changed. Xuezhi, Lin Nan's daughter, Liying, Pinellia, and Mulberry.Lin Ruhai added Mama Xu, who was said to be from the Imperial Dining Room, who was good at cooking medicinal food. Mama Xu's daughter, Xue Rong, was also a good assistant by Cheng Lingsu's side.

The third class is now vacant, Lin Ji thought it would be better to wait until the capital to arrange it.Not long after this adjustment, Lin Ji set off from Yangzhou with Lin Daiyu and headed slowly all the way to the capital.

Originally, according to Lin Ji's plan, he had to go to the southwest to have a look, and then go back to the capital.But Cheng Lingsu and Lin Ruhai strongly opposed it, but had no choice but to pass through Shandong, then go to Tianjin, and then to the capital.This kind of journey is not long, and Lin Ji plans to spend the whole autumn, three months, walking slowly.

Accompanying Lin Ruhai for a lively Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Ji took Lin Daiyu to bid farewell to the reluctant Lin Ruhai, and set off for the capital.

Rubber is added to the wheels of the special carriage, and the interior of the carriage is covered with spring cushions. Walking on the slightly undulating yellow mud land, there is no bump.There is a fixed small stove on the carriage, which can make some scented tea, plus their own pastries, which is very convenient for afternoon tea.

A group of 12 carriages, a bodyguard team of [-] people, and a few masters brought by Lin Ji will be enough.These cars were only carrying belongings and entourage, and the big ones were handed over to Steward Lin, who took the large troops on the official ship and returned to Beijing to settle down first.

This time Lin Ruhai also intends to let Lin Ji return to the capital. He found some clues in the correspondence between him and his friends, coupled with the few words in the emperor's correspondence, maybe after the three-year period expires, he can directly enter the cabinet.

After walking for two days, the group was a little tired. Although they could take turns to rest, no stable carriage was more comfortable than a solid bed. On this day, they passed a hill and came to an open field with yellowish green grass. , the gurgling stream is very suitable for Zama's settlement.

In the evening, the carriage stopped in the open space, everyone performed their duties, some set up tents, some set up traps to smoke herbs, the servants helped Mama Xu move the pots and pans, and the fire in the temporary stove was already raging Burn it, put it on the pot, and the accompanying maids followed Cheng Lingsu, picked a lot of wild vegetables, washed them and stir-fried them in the pot, it was a delicious dish.

For Jia Min's filial piety, Lin Ji and Lin Daiyu were very restrained, and there were only vegetables, tofu, and dairy products on the table.Mama Xu's craftsmanship is really good. The simple fruits and vegetables are delicious after being cooked by her skillful hands. The open-air environment also whetted Lin Daiyu's appetite, and the two of them ate all five dishes on the table.Under Lin Ji's leadership, the dishes on the Lin family's dining table are now on CD-ROMs every time.And Lin Daiyu seems to like this kind of feeling, she often eats with her brother.

After the meal, the two of them walked around the camp in the dim light. Looking at the tents that had been built and the glazed lamps hanging on them, Lin Ji nodded, very satisfied.

"Brother, the scenery here is so beautiful!" Lin Daiyu has never left Jiangnan since she was born. She has a good impression of Shandong, which is different from the scenery of Jiangnan's water towns. Looking at the mountains not far away, the slowly flowing stream, and the tired birds returning to their nests , bursts of cries accompanied by the sunset of the sun, it is truly charming.

"Shandong is the north, and the scenery is naturally different from Jiangnan." Lin Ji led Lin Daiyu to the tent, "It will be even more different when we get to the capital. Maybe I can take you to see it outside the Great Wall if I have a chance in the future." , that is the real beauty."

Thinking of the Mongolian prairie and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that he had been to in his previous life, where the greenery was everywhere, where cattle and sheep could be seen low in the wind and grass, and the wheat waves passed by, Lin Ji's heart was full of nostalgia.I haven't thought of my previous life for a long time. It seems that I have experienced the end of the world. Many good memories are dusty in the depths of my mind.

Lin Daiyu entered the tent, spread a blanket on the ground, put a quilt on it, and spread a rattan mat to form a simple small bed.After Bai Fubairong helped Lin Daiyu wash and change her clothes, Lin Daiyu lay down.It's not that she's lazy, but that she's really tired after traveling for the past two days, and she finally got a bed, so she naturally wants to have a good night's sleep.

Lin Ji also went back to his tent. For this trip, he wrote down all the preparations on the road and ordered them to do it. For this reason, he even went through many wild survival skills saved in his previous life.In fact, there are many villages in the places passing by, but Lin Ji also wants to experience the fun of living in the wild, maybe set up a tent twice, and if he gets tired, he will choose to stay overnight.

The bodyguards and guards took turns keeping vigil, and Mother Xu left a pot of sweet porridge for them on the stove, which they could enjoy during their shifts.The weather in early autumn is not cold, but the dew sprinkled on the body at night makes it cool. Drinking a bowl of warm porridge will warm up the stomach and make people feel more energetic.

There was nothing to do overnight, and Xu's mother started to get busy early the next morning.She brought a few maids to prepare the group's breakfast, all kinds of delicious pastries, millet porridge, homemade pickles, eggs, fresh milk, and Lin Ji's favorite, bread.The hearty breakfast aroused everyone's vitality, and they continued on the road after eating breakfast.

After walking slowly for half a month, I arrived at Linqing, the largest city in Shandong.Since Shandong was established as a province, it has developed rapidly. Today, the cultivated land has reached more than 9000 mu. It is the central area connecting the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the transportation is convenient. After the opening of Yantai, a shipping port, Shandong is very prosperous.

Compared with Yangzhou, Linqing is bustling and bustling, and it does not lose the bustling and prosperous Yangzhou.Lin Ji took Lin Daiyu to the inn, and the carriage went directly into the backyard. When the sedan chair was lifted, Lin Daiyu's feet didn't even touch the ground, and she arrived at the enclosed yard.

Due to the huge team and the large number of people, Lin Ji rented out this small yard, which was packed to the brim. The group of people was a little sleepy after bumping on the road for a long time.After a brief rest, Lin Ji specially gave them a vacation and asked them to go shopping.And he took Lin Daiyu and went out.

This place is considered a northern city, and the streets of Xishi are mixed with mermaids and dragons, both Manchu and Han.Of course, it is relatively more open than the folk customs in Jiangnan and other places. There are a small number of women on the street selling beside the men who carry the burden. There are also men and women shopping, and many of them are gorgeously dressed women.

Lin Daiyu wore a veiled hat, held Lin Ji's hand, and walked around the street with great interest.She had never shopped like this before. She saw the pedestrians with different postures, and the stalls on the side of the street were full of goods, and the shouts kept coming and going.

"Brother, what is that?" Lin Daiyu asked Lin Ji from time to time, pointing to the rare things on the side of the road, "This one is so cute, and that one is pretty good too."

"Buy it if you like it." Lin Ji was pulled forward by Lin Daiyu, who was completely excited about shopping. She looked east and west, curious about everything, and wanted to see everything.

After finally waiting for her to have enough fun, Lin Ji dragged her to another street, which was full of teahouses and restaurants, and the waiter greeted her at the door. Lin Ji glanced casually, and led Lin Daiyu into a beautifully decorated restaurant .

"Guest officer, please, there are boxes upstairs!" The waiter bent over, and a group of people greeted the second floor of the restaurant. He has worked here for a long time, and he has long trained a pair of sharp eyes. He can tell whether he is rich or poor at a glance. , "Guest officer, sit down, and I will serve you tea here."

Lin Dong randomly threw some silver beans to him. These are the rules set by Lin Ji. When rewarding outside, these specially made hollow silver beans are used. They are about the size of soybeans, and they can be exchanged for more than a dozen big coins.Xiao Er accepted it with a smile, and happily went downstairs.

Soon the tea doctor came up, carrying the pot to pour tea, Shui Zhu nodded three times, and the tangy tea fragrance permeated the air. "Guest officer, what do you want to eat? Our signature dish is very famous, would you like some?" Seeing that Lin Ji was easy to talk, Xiao Er bent over and went directly to him.

"Do you have Vegetarian Food?" Lin Ji looked at the decoration of the store, while Lin Daiyu next to him was looking at the passers-by on the road through the corridor opened in the middle.

"Tell me about the signboard in your store." Lin Dong pulled Xiaoer out and closed the door, preventing outsiders from looking at him.

"Brother, look, there's someone there!" Lin Daiyu exclaimed, "Brother, it's a sister, ah! It's so dangerous, brother, save that sister." Lin Ji followed the direction Lin Daiyu pointed, and saw a woman Holding tightly to the edge of the carriage, the whole body tremblingly lay on the carriage, the crazy horse galloped wildly, ignoring the obstacles on the road, the bumps and ups and downs drove the woman's body, as if she was about to fly out at any time, which was extremely dangerous.

The author has something to say: Alright, the heroine has appeared! !

Then Lin Ji is going to bring Sister Lin into Rongguo's mansion.
