Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 291 Arrival
Because the current is slow in winter, the boat travels slowly, and the journey is along the coastline, so the smell of sea water is very strong. Puhuang was already seasick, and the smell was even more unbearable, and he vomited. The sky was dark and the sky was dark, and I didn't eat much for ten days, which made Aunt Jun anxious.

Finally, when it was time to disembark, Mrs. Jun asked the servants and maids to take the unimportant luggage, and took the valuables by herself, and supported Puhuang, who had lost a lot of weight. Wearing a jacket, the whole person doesn't look too fat.

The boy's name was Lu Shan, and he and Hong Hao were going out on errands, and soon they found a carriage at the busy wharf, negotiated the price, and then the four of them got into the carriage.It takes more than half a day to travel from the pier to the capital when the weather is good. Now that it is snowing, it is even more necessary to spend the night halfway.

The north is different from the south, and the structure of the house is also different from the south. The indoors are all coiled with kangs, and earth dragons are repaired if possible. On the bed, drinking the hot noodle soup, I felt like I was alive again.

"Ma'am, you're feeling better. Do you want the doctor to come over and have a look?" Aunt Jun frowned slightly, took off her thick clothes, and her belly protruded after she lost a lot of weight.

Puhuang opened his mouth, and wanted to refuse, but thought that he hadn't eaten well these days, it might be affected, so he changed his words and said: "Success, ma'am, you can ask the shopkeeper and find someone who can do it." She looked at it mentally. After passing, it seems to be very good, but it is safer to show the doctor.

"Madam, lie down first, I'll ask Hong Shao to come over and watch over." Aunt Jun nodded, and called the servant girl Hong Shao to come over, then she went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper, and gave some extra money to ask the shopkeeper to find someone to hire someone. The doctor who ordered came, and then borrowed the kitchen, planning to cook some food himself.

Puhuang is not too used to the diet in the north, and the bowl of noodle soup he drank just now was just a filling for his stomach, and he had to cook something else to fill his stomach.

Surprisingly, the doctor invited was quite young. He was in his early thirties. If he hadn’t carried a medicine box on his back, he would have thought he was a scholar. According to the shopkeeper, this doctor would see a doctor in this area every winter month and charge a fee. It is cheap, and its medical skills are very powerful, and it is very famous in this area.

"Doctor, how is my wife's health?" Seeing the young doctor put away the pulse pillow and take out his pen and ink, Mrs. Jun was a little worried. Could it be that the situation is not good?
"The madam is in good health, but she has been worrying too much recently, traveling long distances, and her fetal gas has moved a little. I will prescribe a prescription, and you will be fine after a few days of drinking." The young doctor said, and began to write the prescription. It seems that there is a lot of character, "And my wife is pregnant with twins, so it's better to stay in bed and rest more."

"Twins?" Mrs. Jun's voice raised slightly, she looked at Puhuang's belly, twins are rare, she thought about it, and asked: "Then my wife's condition, will I be fine in the capital tomorrow?"

The young doctor put away the pen and ink separately, and handed the prescription to Aunt Jun. He didn't look at Puhuang, and replied calmly after hearing the words: "Slow down the carriage, and keep warm."

"Thank you, doctor. I'll take you out." After leaving the house, Mrs. Jun paid the consultation fee and asked Lu Shan to fetch the medicine and boil it, while she went downstairs and brought hot water up. I changed my clothes and didn't have to take a bath.

"Ma'am, are you unhappy?" Hong Shao was arranging Puhuang's clothes. Just now, the doctor said that Puhuang was pregnant with twins. She was so happy when she heard that. Why didn't her wife respond?
Puhuang smiled, "I knew it earlier, you take some shavings and comb my hair, it's very itchy."

"Madam, wait a moment." Hong Shao's attention was diverted all of a sudden, she didn't ask any more questions, and turned to find something.

Stayed in the inn for one night, and did not start until the end of the next day. At this time, there were not many carriages on the road, and there were still trucks transporting goods from the pier to the capital, but they were not concentrated. They should be small businesses buying goods and the like .

Because of the doctor's instructions, the carriage moved slowly. Originally, it only took half a day to arrive, until the end of the afternoon.

Because the Lu family's business is not small, and most of them start with "Hongyun" or "Hongzi", the master and servants found a house called Hongfu Inn to live in. The price is more expensive than yesterday's, but the room layout is more comfortable. And the popularity is also strong.

After arriving at the destination, Puhuang was not in a hurry, so he had to sleep in the inn for two days in the dark. During this period, he didn't get out of bed much except for eating and drinking medicine to meet his physiological needs.During this period, Aunt Jun was not idle, she was mainly looking for various prices in the capital, and places to rent houses, while Lu Shan was inquiring about various gossip about the capital, especially about those rich families or officials. .

On the third day, Puhuang's spirit finally improved a lot, and the blood on her face became more rosy. She sat on the kang and listened to Aunt Jun's introduction of the distribution of the capital, and she knew it well.

"Ma'am, do you want to deliver the letter?" Because Puhuang had been sleeping before, Mrs. Jun didn't ask her if she wanted to deliver the letter from Lu Yuan.

"Well, after lunch, you ask Lu Shan to send it to you. The prices in the capital are high, so you can tell me when you run out of money." Because Aunt Jun had to do some shopping along the way, Puhuang gave it to her. Let her spend a sum of money without asking.

"I know."

What Puhuang didn't expect was that when Lu Shan came back to deliver the letter, shopkeeper Liu also followed him, and he treated Puhuang very respectfully, "Mrs. Hong, I didn't know you came from a long way away, so I hope you forgive me. "

"Shopkeeper Liu doesn't need to be so courteous, it's because I've troubled you." Pu Huang hastily returned the gift to Shopkeeper Liu. The shopkeepers in Beijing are much more powerful than those in Chuncheng, and they have colors. If they can salute themselves, it must be said in the letter What.

"Madam Hong, I wonder if you have found a place to stay in the capital? If you don't mind, let me arrange a place for you."

"Then thank you, shopkeeper Liu. I'm new here, and I'm very unfamiliar with the capital. This thing is different from the south, and it's really dazzling." Pu Huang smiled. It's natural for someone to arrange her own residence, so she gave Aunt Jun winked, and took out a large bag of salted duck eggs and smoked rabbit wrapped in oil paper, "Master Liu, these are homemade pickled duck eggs and smoked rabbit, and they are not very valuable, so I hope you will not dislike them."

Shopkeeper Liu's eyes lit up slightly, and the smile on his face became even brighter, "Why, your salted duck eggs are famous in the capital, and if you have money, you may not be able to eat them, but now I am blessed. "

"Shopkeeper Liu likes it better. If it's not for my inconvenience, I can make two tanks for you in the capital." Pu Huang said with a smile, not shying away from the fact that he was pregnant, "By the way, shopkeeper Liu is not If you find it troublesome, let the boy I brought follow you, and if you have something to do, tell him to run errands, and you can also take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with the customs of the lower capital."

"No trouble, no trouble, then I won't disturb Mrs. Hong's rest. If you have something to do, you can ask Xiaoer to call me in the shop. The shopkeeper of the inn is also familiar with me." Shopkeeper Liu walked out the door with a smile. Shan followed behind with the big bag of presents, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. It seemed that these gifts were very popular, and it was not in vain that they carefully selected and packaged them before leaving.

Shopkeeper Liu was very fast, and it didn't take long to build a small yard. In the center of the city near the east of the city, he sent a few servants to help move things there.The courtyard is not big, there are only three main rooms, and the three side rooms on the left and right are not large in size, but the cleaning is very clean, there is no fallen leaf dust, and the bedding is also new. It can be seen that either it has been prepared for a long time, or it is specially prepared for some guests. residence.

In addition, shopkeeper Liu brought a few women, maids and servants to do rough work such as cleaning and cooking, but Puhuang and the others didn't need to do it, so it was much easier.

"Ma'am, I have inquired about it. The alleys here are all such courtyards. Many wealthy businessmen have bought outhouses for resettlement, and some are temporary residences for foreign businessmen. It is very convenient to go to the market or the street. It's close." The environment here is quiet, and there are special government officials patrolling nearby, so it's much safer. Aunt Jun believes that even if she can find such a place, it will cost a lot of money.

"Well, let's stabilize the day first, and then slowly inquire about the Xue family's affairs." Puhuang is not in a hurry at this time, after the Lantern Festival, all businesses in the capital are open for business, and people on the street come People go, it is very lively, there are special people on the street to sweep and shovel snow, otherwise it is really not easy to travel.

It is said that shopkeeper Liu went back with the big bag of things, and saw his daughter-in-law coming back from outside, muttering something in her mouth, and couldn't help being surprised: "Who messed with you again?"

"It's not the one from shopkeeper Li's family, isn't it just that he got two fox furs? He's so proud, and even came to me to show off." Shopkeeper Liu's family complained, and when he looked up, he saw the one in shopkeeper Liu's hand. Something, "What are you holding in your hand? Why did you come back so early today? Didn't you say that the little master has something to tell you to do?"

"It's done. The customer gave it to me. They said it was salted duck eggs and smoked rabbit." Shopkeeper Liu suddenly thought that he had to report this to Lu Qing. "By the way, I heard where the little master went. ?"

"Who knows?" Shopkeeper Liu's family rolled their eyes, "Pickled duck eggs, from Chuncheng? It's not cheap, what kind of guest is that, who can give such a precious thing." Then he went to remove the oil paper, his face full of joy .

"No, the guest is from Chuncheng and has a big belly. If you have time, go and have a sit." Shopkeeper Liu paused and said in a low voice, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone, That person came to find her to be the head of the family, and it is said that he is the young master of the Xue family who lives outside."

"Ahem, ahem! What did you say?" Shopkeeper Liu's family accidentally choked on his own saliva, "I heard that right, forget it, you are worried that I will tell others, you should worry about yourself, But don’t pour it all down as soon as you drink it.”

Shopkeeper Liu was a little embarrassed, "I won't tell you anymore, I'll go find the little master."
