Chapter 154

The couple walked towards the city gate as fast as they could, galloping all the way, not daring to delay.

I have dealt with Master Gong for a long time, and I know that he is a punctual person, unless something delays, otherwise the agreed things will not change.

If the couple didn't come home today, Li Hui would be worried but shouldn't be too anxious. After all, there are many uncontrollable factors when going out.But if you don't go home tomorrow, you'll be in trouble.

What she is afraid of now is the closure of the city, not letting in or letting out, that would be bad.He thought about countless possibilities, but when he saw the gate of Liaodong Mansion from afar, he frowned and let out a long sigh of relief.

People come and go constantly, there is no abnormality, could it be that Master Gong is delayed by something at home?
"Mom, this..."

"Go to the car dealership."

Cheng Xue pulled him straight to the car dealership.

These two days of strolling are not just for wandering, she has gone to all the places that she can use every day.Fortunately, I passed by, otherwise, I would lose the location of the car dealer's seven turns and eight turns when asking for directions.

After a stick of incense, the couple came to the car dealership.

Looking at the scene of people coming and going to rent cars, it is worthy of Fucheng.

Cheng Xue bought half a pack of maltose, and then asked the vendor for a piece of kraft paper, divided it into seven or eight pieces, and went to look for the person who recorded it.

"Brother, I would like to ask you something, did we have a carriage from Pingyang County yesterday?"

While speaking, he stuffed the kraft paper bag to him.

As the saying goes: Eating people's mouths is soft, but taking others' hands is short.

When the man saw something, he immediately responded kindly, "Wait", and then helped her look through the accounting books.

Flipping through from beginning to end, I took out another book, turned halfway through and shook my head.

"No. But if you want to go back to Pingyang County, our carriage can also go."

"Okay, I'm going to Shushan Town in Pingyang County."

"Not in town."

"Why?" Cheng Xue's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing her flustered face, the man smiled and said:

"The carriage you took when you came here should be familiar to you. All the carriages in our prefecture go to the county, not the town. Even the carriages in your county only come to the prefecture and not to the surrounding villages. Unless the coachman himself and the steward Report, that's all."

"Oh, so it is like this." Cheng Xue nodded slowly, "Has it always been like this?"

"Yes, always."

Cheng Xue completely let go of the big stone in her heart.As long as the order is not issued suddenly, it has nothing to do with the "epidemic".

Hire a carriage to go home to pack things, and when they set off again, it is already Maochu.

Sitting next to his mother in the car, Li Heng asked worriedly:

"Mom, can we go home today?"

"I won't go back, stop at the county station, and just go to the house to have a look." After Cheng Xue finished speaking, she gave him the leftover maltose.

According to their current speed, when they reach Dewei in Pingyang County, even if Tan Hei can reach Shushan Town, the city gate will have to be closed.Instead of staying in an inn with mixed fish and dragons, it is better to stay in the county for one night and get up early the next day and return to the village, which is safer.

Delaying for half a day is definitely okay. I happened to inquire about the news in the county.The township examination is very important and cannot be sloppy.

The carriage "squeaked... squeaked..." hurried on the road, and Tianwu was met.

Cheng Xue recited "Don't rain, don't rain" in her heart, and finally arrived in Pingyang County safely.

The driver often comes to the county, and as soon as he tells the location, he will send them there quickly.

"This is it."

"Yes." Cheng Xue got out of the car and opened the door with the key.

When I left that day, I was afraid of being delayed on the road, so I took the key with me, but I didn't expect it to be used.

After moving things into the yard, Mr. Du next door heard the noise and hurried over to check on the situation.

"Oh, Tie Danniang is back, why are you here with Tie Dan now? Where's Huizi? Tangtang, Tiantian?"

"They're all in the village. I came from Fucheng. I rented a yard over there. I'll go clean first."

Cheng Xue put things away while talking, and when she saw the yard was clean, she sincerely thanked her and said:

"Thank you, uncle, for helping us clean up the house so much."

There is not a single weed in the yard, which shows that the care is very meticulous.

"Oh, why don't you thank me? We still need to thank you for the relationship between our two families? You came from Fucheng, and you are more thoughtful than staying in an inn."

"Yes." Cheng Xue nodded, "Uncle, has Pingren arranged to go to the academy?"

"Go and go."

Mr. Du nodded with a smile, and when he mentioned his grandson, his face was full of pride.

"The Huating Academy in Dongtou, the county I went to, is not as famous as Zhiru and Hanchen, but it's not bad. Three liang of silver a month, and food and meat during the New Year. If it wasn't for Pingren teaching in Huating, taking care of lunch, When food prices skyrocketed, our grandparents and grandchildren had to eat less."

Speaking of this, the old man was full of envy and said:
"It's better in your village. You can chew grain all year round, so you don't have to spend a lot of money to buy grain. The price of grain dropped a while ago, and I was scared to buy a lot, but today there was a rice elephant again. I'm really worried."

Cheng Xue leaned forward and asked in a low voice:
"Uncle, have you heard about Maoshan Town recently?"

"Maoshan Town? What's the matter?"

Seeing Mr. Du's confused face, Cheng Xue told him all the news from Fucheng.

"... That's it. I was a little worried after hearing this, so I hurried back."

After hearing this, Mr. Du also had a serious face, frowning tightly and said:
"Son, don't care if it's true or not, it's best for Huizi to hurry up and go to Fucheng. If it's really like what you said about closing the city and delaying this time, then you can only wait for the next year. Huizi is doing big things Man, a year's delay is a big deal for him!"

"Well, I thought so too, so I plan to go back tomorrow and pack my things. It's best that we set off for Fucheng the day after tomorrow."

"Should be." Old Man Du agreed, "Go to the car dealership now to book the car back to the village tomorrow, get up early and leave early, work harder, everything will be decided after your family enters Fucheng safely."

"Okay, then I'll go now." After Cheng Xue finished speaking, she got up, walked two steps and then stopped, "If uncle is free, please help inform Wang Sen, I really can't take care of it."

"Don't worry, I will tell him, you are busy with your work."

Cheng Xue's mother and son left home and went straight to the car dealership. This time, without waiting for her to buy candy, Li Heng handed over his leftovers to her and obediently followed.

After booking the car, Cheng Xue saw that the recorder was not busy, so she inquired about Maoshan Town.

The man flipped through the account book after listening, shook his head, and said:

"There is no carriage coming from Maoshan Town recently, do you want to go? If you want to go, we can also go here."

"Oh, if you don't go, I'll just ask." After Cheng Xue finished speaking, she pulled Li Heng away.

Reasonably, the county should be well-informed, but what Fucheng knows is not clear here.And Master Gong, why didn't he go to Fucheng?Or what happened at home?

A lot of question marks bothered her, making her mind irritated, and she was not in the mood to cook, so she took Li Heng out for a quick bite, and settled the matter...
