playful peasant girl

Chapter 116 6
Following Xia Lan's words, Mrs. Zhang's eyes became darker and darker, making it unpredictable. After Xia Lan finished speaking, she looked up at her and quickly lowered her head nervously, but smiled in her heart.

Xia Lan already knew that she had more or less listened to Madam Zhang's bland reaction, and felt a little relieved.

Zhang Manrong, you have come to provoke me again and again, and this is considered a small reward for you. It doesn't matter if you say that I will repay you, whoever asked me to protect my shortcomings!It's best not to provoke me again.

Madam Zhang pretended to be embarrassed, "Look at my memory, I've been so busy these days that I forgot about it. Man Rong came from her hometown, and the maid she brought was vulgar and uneducated. I originally planned to bring her to the state capital Afterwards, I called two clever maids for her, but I forgot, which made Miss Qing laugh."

Xia Lan lowered her head, her eyes flickered slightly, and when she raised her head again, she had returned to calm, sincerely expressing her understanding of Mrs. Zhang's hard work, and by the way, admiring Mrs. Zhang for being a generous and kind mother, etc.

The carriage is still going on the official road. Today, the journey is a bit tight, and I missed the resting place. It is noon and the weather is very hot. Xia Lan is still sweating in the carriage. The nurses riding horses were drenched in sweat basking in the sun.

Fortunately, I didn't travel very far. There was a forest beside the official road, and some people on the road rested under the shade of the tree.

Xia Lan and her team also marched into the woods to take a break from the summer heat and take a rest.

Xia Lan returned to her carriage, Xia Haoxuan and Qingmei both got out of the carriage, and enjoyed the shade under the shade of a tree.With a slight movement of Xia Lan's mind, she took out water and dry food from the space, and distributed them to the people she brought to replenish their physical strength.

After resting for an hour, Mr. Chen sent a young man to inform him to continue on his way.

It was really hard and bumpy all the way today. In the evening, the carriage finally arrived at Yancheng and found an inn to stay.

Today is a real day's journey. I originally planned to go to the capital in four days if I didn't rush. This morning Mrs. Zhang told Master Chen that she wanted to speed up, so I hurried like this today.

She stayed in the carriage almost all day, both the master and the servant girl were exhausted, and they all went to bed early after dinner.

Yancheng is already very close to the capital, and Qingmei has already asked the clerk at the inn that it takes about three hours to get there by carriage.

Xu is going to the capital soon. From morning to now, except for Mrs. Zhang who is timid and excited, the people in Chen's house are always silent, and the people in Zhao's house are also silent, probably thinking of Zhan Jiang's request. The post is bound to be heavy.

After noon, the carriage finally arrived at the capital.

As Dongxu's imperial capital, even the heat in the afternoon can't stop the prosperity of the imperial capital, and there are still many merchants and common people everywhere in the streets of the capital.

The foundations of Zhang's and Zhao's houses were established relatively early, and they both had houses in the capital. Mrs. Zhang directly asked her servants to drive the carriage to Shangshu's house, leaving only Xia Lan's people.

Xia Lan asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the nearest inn to ask for a few rooms, as a place to stay temporarily, and make plans after Feng Yang arrived.

The Qing Mansion also has an organization to collect information, but the capital is too far away, and the Zhanjiang Palace is too mysterious. The information about the Zhanjiang Palace in the Qing Mansion is superficial and useless.

The horses and horses were exhausted, and the drowsiness was really hard to resist. After a brief rest in the inn, Xia Lan closed the door of the room, stepped into the space to rest, and could cheer up tomorrow to see if she could collect information about the Zhanjiang Palace. useful news.
