Chapter 73 The world outside is very fresh

Wang Yuyan was afraid of being caught up by the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she asked the coachman to drive the carriage for a day and a night.

nonstop.

When they arrived at the post station, they hired another carriage and continued their journey day and night.

The traveling conditions were crude, but the two cousins ​​were now filled with surprise and novelty of escaping from the prison of the capital.

Lin Baozhu looked very proud, "Cousin, we can also leave the capital like Lin Qianqian. Other girls can only envy us."

Wang Yuyan was a smart person, and she thought: You have just left Beijing, so you must be feeling new and strange. When you have suffered a lot on the road, don't cry and ask to go back to Beijing.

The departure of the two from Beijing frightened the people related to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Lin Mansion.

Wang was so angry that she cried. She sat on the bed and hit the pillow hard with her right hand.

"What a heartless girl! Why did she go to the border without saying anything? Have you not given up on Guanjun Hou yet?"

Mother Sun comforted her, "Madam, don't be sad or anxious. Baozhu is a smart girl, and nothing will happen to her."

Mother Sun felt that all the bandits in the Guanxi Mountain area had been wiped out by Miss Qianqian, so the road would most likely be peaceful.

Miss Qianqian has become a weather vane for the noble ladies in Beijing. Everyone wants to learn from her, but unfortunately, no one can succeed.

Whether it is Miss Baozhu or Miss Yuyan, their families would never support them in donating money to become officials.

I am destined to be dominated by Miss Qianqian in this life.

Wang cried very sadly, feeling that she had raised her daughter in vain.

Soon, a servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to report, "Auntie, the people who went to chase Miss Yuyan and Miss Baozhu came back to report that they didn't catch up. Since they couldn't catch up, they can only try their best to protect the two girls. The Prime Minister has sent people to Beiyue Pass to look after the two girls."

The Wang family in the capital was in a state of panic, but at this moment, the two cousins ​​Wang Yuyan and Lin Baozhu were in a very happy mood as they walked on the official road.

This was the first time for the two to leave Beijing, and perhaps it would be the only time in their lives.

The weather was cold and the scenery along the way was desolate, but it could not dampen the excitement of the two sisters.

Lin Baozhu's eyes sparkled.

"Cousin, the world out there is so big!"

"Cousin, the ginkgo trees are so beautiful in winter, with their golden leaves."

"Cousin, when we get to Beiyue Pass, can we go skiing?"

"Well, it's up to you." Wang Yuyan responded casually, but she was thinking about the works of the painting saint in her heart.

I heard that four masterpieces of the painting saint appeared in Beiyue Pass at once.

When I get back to Beiyue Pass, I must copy a few carefully and bring them back to the capital. When the Joan of Arc Girls' School opens in the spring, it will be a good opportunity for the teachers and classmates to broaden their horizons.

But after the carriage had been traveling for five or six days, Lin Baozhu no longer felt the novelty and even regretted leaving Beijing.

There is everything in Beijing’s home, including hand warmers, beautiful clothes, and delicacies from land and sea for every meal.

However, Lin Baozhu was in a hurry to leave Beijing, so she only took two sets of clothes and one maid.

It was very cold in the carriage. Although the doors and windows were closed, strong winds always blew in through the gaps when the carriage was moving, making people shiver.

There is no delicacies from land and sea.

It was considered good enough to have enough to eat every day. At night, we often stayed in the wild. Sleeping in a carriage once or twice was okay, but after sleeping for a few more nights, I felt sore in my waist and legs, which was very uncomfortable.

And they also have to worry about encountering bad guys at night.

Isn't it stupid to give up being a young lady from Beijing and go far away to suffer?

"Cousin, I want to go back to Beijing."

Although Wang Yuyan also grew up in a pampered environment, she is different from Lin Baozhu.

Although she suffered some hardships, she was determined and still yearned for Beiyue Pass and the masterpieces of the Saint of Painting.

In the matter of donating money to become an official, she has already fallen behind Lin Qianqian, and she only hopes to surpass Lin Qianqian in talent and knowledge.

"Cousin Baozhu, Lin Qianqian was able to live in a miserable place like Beiyue Pass for a long time, but you don't even dare to go there. You are outdone by her in an instant."

The method of provoking others used by smart people is indeed very effective.

Lin Baozhu was most afraid of others comparing her with Lin Qianqian, so she decided to grit her teeth and persevere.

"Cousin, don't worry. What Lin Qianqian can do, I can do too. Not only can I do it, but I can do it better than her."

Wang Yuyan did not refute out loud, but in her heart she laughed at Lin Baozhu for not being able to do it.

She, Lin Qianqian, can use money to buy an official position, can you, Lin Baozhu, do it?

Not to mention you, even I can't do it.

Sometimes, family can be a burden.

After finally passing through a big city like Wu County, Lin Baozhu asked her maid to buy many things, such as bedding and hand warmers.

We also had a sumptuous meal at the best restaurant in the city.

I didn't have much silver to begin with, and after all this spending, two-thirds of the money I had was gone.

Wang Yuyan advised: "Cousin, the journey to Beiyue Pass is still long, we must spend frugally from now on. If we run out of money halfway, we will be in trouble."

But looking at Lin Baozhu's indifferent expression, it seemed that she didn't hear what she said at all.

After the two cousins ​​left Wu County, they met a carriage that was also heading to Beiyue Pass.

The person sitting in the carriage was Gu Yun, a famous talent in the capital.

The scholar who rode in the same carriage with Gu Yun to Beiyue City was named Luo Gang.

Compared with Gu Yun, Luo Gang's talent and appearance are relatively ordinary, but his family is in business and he has plenty of money.

He deliberately teased, "Ah Yun, I heard that your wife is a general in Beiyue Pass. Are you going to Beiyue Pass for other reasons? You used the excuse of wanting to see the masterpieces of the painting sage, but in fact you wanted to meet your future wife."

However, Gu Yun ignored Luo Gang's joke.

Lin Qianqian? He went to Beiyue Pass not to see that vulgar woman, but to see the paintings of the painting saint.

But if we can persuade that vulgar woman to cancel the marriage, it would be killing two birds with one stone.

In the evening, three carriages stopped together in the wild.

There was no village in front and no shop behind, so we had to spend one night in the wild.

Wang Yuyan took the flint and got out of the car, intending to light a fire to cook.

The only maid in the car was Lin Baozhu's. Wang Yuyan didn't bring any maid with her. She was lucky to be able to escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The key point is that this only maid knows nothing, so Wang Yuyan can only use the knowledge she learned from books to make ends meet.

The wind was so strong that the fire went out quickly after it was lit.

Wang Yuyan could only blow hard at a foot-long bamboo tube, trying to reignite the fire, but the bamboo tube filled her face with ashes, making her look like a little cat.

Luo Gang, who was standing by, brought four servants with him. These servants knew how to do everything. They had already cooked mutton soup and soaked the dry and hard cakes in the soup.

This method is exactly the mutton soup with steamed bun that people in Northwest China like to eat.

Wang Yuyan smelled the mutton soup and thought it tasted good, so she shamelessly moved closer.

"You guys made a lot of soup."

Gu Yun recognized Wang Yuyan and was very surprised to see the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion here.
