The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 206 Sleepover
After leaving Jinzhou City, it was a different world. Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan took the official road, and they could still see carriages along the way.

"Ma'am, let me inquire. It takes a day and a night to go to the next county to stay at the inn. They have to go to a village for the night." He Wen came back and reported.

Zhao Yunlan watched the other carriage stop for a rest, so she called He Wen to stop the horse too.So he sent He Wen to ask for directions. Thinking about it this way, Zhao Yunlan also felt that she was a tiger. Everyone was not familiar with the terrain, so they just started on the road.

Mainly because of Zhao Yunlan's modern inertia, there are signposts everywhere when going out, and before going to Fucheng, Zhao Yunlan also followed the official road to get there.This time, I was negligent. There are so many difficulties and dangers hidden in this ancient journey.

In addition, Li Mingren has become more and more dependent on Zhao Yunlan in recent years, so he thought that Zhao Yunlan would be foolproof about going to the capital.So neither of them had prepared a travel route plan.

"Lady, let's hire a team of bodyguards in the next county." Li Mingren suggested.

Zhao Yunlan nodded, agreeing very much.

"It's just that we have to find a place to live first, and follow them later. I don't want to sleep in the wild."

Li Mingren nodded and asked He Wen: "Are those couple going to the capital?"

He Wen shook his head: "It seems not, they didn't say it clearly, but their next destination is Shangyang County, the same as us."

Li Mingren understands that it is not easy to talk to outsiders when you are away from home, and it is already a good place for people to tell you where to stay.Seeing that the carriage over there looked like a businessman, Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan didn't bother much.When they set off again, Zhao Yunlan was also ready to set off.

He Wen's carriage was behind, not too far from the convoy in front, but it wouldn't make people feel uncomfortable.

When it got dark, I guessed it was Xu time, only to see a faint light ahead.

"Madam, master. There should be a village ahead." Ye Sheng sat next to He Wen to explore the way, and reported the situation to the carriage.

Li Mingren and Zhao Yunlan sighed in unison, and they were able to go to the ground.Maybe it was because they had to hurry, the convoy in front did not stop after starting again, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren naturally did not dare to stop, worried that they would not be able to find their way when they were left behind, mainly because they were not all official roads. To enter the village is to take a small road.So Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingren gritted their teeth and insisted on sitting in the carriage.

"Ye Sheng, go and see which house is wider in a while, and then go in and ask." Zhao Yunlan instructed Ye Sheng.

Another team of chariots and horses had already entered the village, and He Wen followed closely behind.

After Ye Sheng took a quick look around the village, another team had already moved in.

Ye Sheng came back and said: "Master, madam, the family they live in is the largest house in the village."

Just as Zhao Yunlan was about to speak, an old man came out.

"Do you also need to stay overnight?" the old man asked.

Li Mingren nodded: "Yes, old man, there is still room in your house."

The old man shook his head: "The whole group of them can't fit in my house. I can take you to live in another house."

Li Mingren nodded, and the carriage moved with the old man. In a short distance, the old man took the initiative to reveal his identity.The old man is the head of this village. This village is called Xiaojia Village. Most people in the village are surnamed Xiao. It is the nearest village to the official road.Therefore, people on the road often come to stay overnight in the village.This can be regarded as a livelihood in this village.

The group of people just now lived in the village head's house, and if the village head's house couldn't accommodate them, they would arrange for other villagers' houses.Li Mingren guessed that the group of people just now should be regulars on this road.

As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, he arrived at the door of a family. The house of this family was not too big, and it was built of wood.

"Mrs. Liao, come out quickly." The old village chief shouted into the house.

At this time, a short and thin old woman came out with a lump on her back.

"What's up with the village chief? The big dog didn't go out today, and he has already fallen asleep."

"I'm not looking for your grandson, I'm bringing you guests. Make up the beds at home, these guests need accommodation. Call the big dog to help boil the water, why don't you sleep? Every day I go around catching fish and petting dogs Damn, he went to bed quite early."

The old village chief said with a bit of hatred for iron.

Granny Liao on the opposite side was a little embarrassed, so she had to bend down: "He is not that kind of person, he just wants to help me. Hey~ I won't say anything, thank you village chief."

The old village chief waved his hand: "Hurry up and clean up, don't delay the rest of the guests."

He turned his head and said to Li Mingren: "Grandma Liao's family lives at the entrance of the village to make it easier for you to travel, and her family has a simple population, so it's more convenient for you to live in." The old village chief considered the female relatives in the carriage, and of course he also wanted to help a group of Mrs. Liao Home.

Li Mingren knew what the village chief was thinking, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It would be nice to have a place to live when he was away from home.

The village chief stood there for a while, and felt relieved after watching the kid named Big Dog get up.

"Grandpa, the village chief, come in and drink some water." It was a girl who was younger than a big dog who spoke.

"Haha, grandpa doesn't drink water anymore, our little girl is really good. Don't be like your brother who is ignorant every day."

Xiaoya retorted in a low voice: "Brother is sensible, brother has given Xiaoya some roasted sweet potatoes."

The village chief smiled: "Okay, I'll go back first, you guys pack up quickly." After speaking, he turned his head and saluted Li Mingren before leaving.

Only then did Zhao Yunlan get out of the carriage, followed by Chunxiang and He Hua with their bundles.

Mrs. Liao's house has a total of four rooms that can be lived in, and two of them are vacant. Seeing that there are women and servants in this group, Mrs. Liao asked the big dog to vacate the room.

Li Mingren originally thought that it would be fine to tidy up two rooms, one for him and Ye Shenghe Wen, one for Zhao Yunlan and Chunxiang He Hua.But Zhao Yunlan didn't agree, the family has already cleaned up, so let's live like this.

Li Mingren felt a little sorry for taking someone else's room, but Zhao Yunlan whispered: "They can charge more accommodation fees for an extra room, let's take it as a help."

Only then did Li Mingren's guilt dissipate, and he helped Zhao Yunlan bring hot water. In fact, the hot water was already placed at the door, and Li Mingren could get it without going out of the house.

The girl called Xiaoya brought Zhao Yunlan a clean handkerchief, Zhao Yunlan took it with a smile, but it was useless in the end.Zhao Yunlan brought a lot of toiletries before going out, just worried that she might not be used to it outside.

The kid named Big Dog helped He Wen feed the horse outside.

"Brother, is this horse fast?" Big Dog asked cautiously.

Seeing that the children were interested in horses, He Wen chatted: "Run fast."

Big Dog: "Can I touch it?"

He Wen: "Yes, but you can't touch your butt, and you can't pull your tail."

The big dog touched it boldly, and the horse snorted once.It scared the big dog back a few steps, took the child and suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha~"

Mrs. Liao was cooking in the kitchen, and heard the laughter in the yard and shouted: "Big dog, keep your voice down, don't offend the guests."

Only then did the big dog restrain himself: "Understood, grandma."

He Wen knew that Big Dog had vacated the room for himself and Ye Sheng, so he asked, "Where do you sleep at night?"

The big dog didn't take it seriously: "In the stove, there will be water burning all night, and the fire in the stove won't go out."

He Wen looked at the kitchen that was ventilated on all sides, but didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Mrs. Liao came out with hot soup noodles, not noodles, but the kind of batter, thick noodles mixed with a small amount of thin noodles, and only a little salt was added.

"Two guests, please have dinner."

Zhao Yunlan brought some food and meat and vegetables on the way, she was too tired and it was too late, Zhao Yunlan didn't want to bother, looked at the things in the bowl, and just made do with it.

Xiaoya stood far away and stared at the few people drinking hot noodle soup. Mrs. Liao had no choice but to get a piece of pancake for Xiaoya. It looked like it was made of coarse noodles, dry, hard and black.

After eating some warm food, Zhao Yunlan felt a little headache at the moment, and felt that she was tired from the journey, so she fell asleep without saying a word to Li Mingren.
