(Transmigration + Slow Romance + Female Side Character) Tong Wen Yao woke up one day to find herself transmigrated as the young lady of the Tong family.
She didn't enjoy the la...
There was still one hundred taels left from the marble sales, and she took it out from the space and gave it to her second brother, "Second brother, this is the money for building a house, you can pay them when the time comes."
After seeing him take it, she asked Uncle Wu Ping to borrow an ox cart to rush to the county. Fortunately, his second brother did not insist on going, otherwise she would really be worried.
After arriving in the county town, she went to find a car dealership. There were horses, cows, and donkeys there. The original owner had learned to ride a horse before, and she had ridden a horse a few times in her previous life. Well, although she rode on the shoulders of a zombie, it still counted as riding a horse.
"Young man, rent a horse." Her voice was now low and hoarse, and she was wearing a robe and a hat.
After hearing this, the young man went to the stable and brought out a black horse. "All right, sir, let's sign the paperwork here." She looked at the horse, who was in good spirits and breathed crisply. It was a good horse.
Her rent for half a month was two taels of silver, and the deposit was fifteen taels. In the frontier, the government's control over horses was not as strict, and barbarian traders would often come to the border town to sell horses in exchange for daily necessities, so horses were not very expensive. A young horse on the market was around twelve taels, so if a customer rode a horse and didn't return it, he would use the deposit to buy a full-grown horse.
As soon as she grasped the reins, her body reacted faster than her brain, and she saddled up the horse with swift movements. She guessed it was the muscle memory of the original owner. As she was about to leave the city gate, she went to the bun shop and bought five baskets of meat buns. Once she reached the official road, she took advantage of the fact that no one was around and put them directly into her space. Anyway, her space kept the food fresh, so it would still be piping hot when she took it out, so she wouldn't be afraid of the cold.
As she ran, the wind was so strong that it hurt. Her hands began to feel stiff from the wind because she had no gloves on. But there were people on the official road at that time, so she couldn't take out the strange gloves and start wearing them. She could only endure it for a while.
Fortunately, the sun came out, and she was wearing warm clothes, so she didn't feel so cold. Her head was wrapped in cloth, and to outsiders, it looked like a skinny old man was riding the horse.
She had put on makeup when she arrived, and even created wrinkles on her hands and neck, which wouldn't melt unless they came into contact with water. The horses in the frontier were good horses. She had originally thought she wouldn't reach the foot of Shennv Mountain until the afternoon, but unexpectedly, she arrived at a town at the foot of Shennv Mountain near noon. This town was called Wulin Town, and it was the only way to get to Shennv Mountain.
"Waiter, do you have two men here? One has a limp in his left leg, and the other looks about sixteen years old!" The second brother is two years older than her brother, but according to her memory, she has always called Tong Bo the second brother. In the original owner's memory, her mother once said that Tong Bo was weak and sickly, and her second uncle was worried that he would not live beyond the age of eight, so after her brother was born the following year, she asked Tong Bo to call her brother the eldest brother, and he himself was the second brother.
After she handed him the copper coin, the waiter recalled with a smile, "Yes, there were two people yesterday, but they went up the mountain. A lot of people have gone up the mountain in the past few days. I heard that someone paid to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus."
The waiter stopped what he was doing and refused to speak. Tong Wenyao had no choice but to give him another half tael of silver. The waiter's face was now bright with smiles, and his attitude was even more enthusiastic than before. "Uncle, I don't know what you want with these two. I see they are good at fighting, so they are not easy to mess with!"
"Mo Yun, push me out to get some sun." Tong Wenyao's back stiffened when she heard the familiar voice, and she glanced at the door to the second floor.
Pei Guanyu sat in a wheelchair. Though his face was pale, he still exuded an air of elegance and nobility. His black brocade robe gave him a sense of distance. As if noticed, his dark eyes glared over him with a sharp and commanding expression.
Tong Wenyao secretly swallowed her saliva, thinking to herself, "He's worthy of being the male protagonist, handsome and elegant." No wonder the original owner couldn't stop thinking about him, it turned out he was a natural beauty. Ahem, I was thinking too much.
After she came to her senses, she began to act in a pretentious manner.
"They are both my unfilial sons. Alas, I heard that a noble man spent a lot of money and came all the way here to look for the Tianshan Snow Lotus." Tong Wen Yao coughed as she spoke, as if she was really sick because of the anger she got from those two unfilial sons.
If Qian's mother heard this, she would definitely beat her ass to pieces! Fortunately, when I was away from home, my identity was given by myself.
The waiter's face was filled with approval, and he began to share his experience in raising a son, which left her stunned. As he spoke, he glanced at the old man's expression, as if he had listened carefully. Finally, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, you don't have to be sad. The child only came to Xuelian to make money for you. Let me tell you a way that only locals know..."
"Okay, thank you very much, little brother. After I find those two rebellious sons, I will have a drink with you." He clasped his hands together, his face full of emotion.
"Okay, we won't be home until we're drunk."
Pei Guanyu frowned and looked at the old man in the lobby. He felt as if he had seen the old man somewhere before, but from the way he spoke and walked, he had no impression of having seen this old man before.
"Number One, go check it out."
"Yes." Except for the curtain being blown by the wind behind him, everything was quiet again.
After leaving the inn, Tong Wenyao began to wander around town. The weather was cold heading into the mountains, so she needed to buy more hot water. Although there was water in her space, that bowl of spring water wasn't enough for the three of them. She also bought a few roast chickens so they could eat them directly in the mountains. She also bought a lot of cooking seasonings before she began preparing to enter the mountains.
The secret guards behind him saw her enter the mountain and returned directly to the inn. Pei Guanyu listened to the secret guard's report, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, thinking. The old man's eyes should not be bright and lively, but instead were cloudy and dark yellow, and his skin looked like that of an elderly person. He closed his eyes, trying to hide the old man's face, revealing only his eyes. The more he looked at them, the more familiar they seemed. They seemed very similar to the eyes of the young lady from the Tong family.
Thinking about the Tong family being exiled, and counting the days, it seems that they have reached the border.
Seeing that his master didn't say anything, Number One half-knelt on the ground in silence until a voice came from above, "You keep staring at her." Then he started to drive people out.
Here, Tong Wen Yao followed the route given by the waiter and went up the mountain. The slopes here were mostly rocky. What made her depressed was that the weather was so cold, but there were still poisonous snakes. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have died.
She was so angry that she directly took the snake out of the space to clear the way. With the snake suppressed by the snake, she didn't see any poisonous snakes along the way. If it weren't for the snake skins shed on the rocks and weeds, she would have thought the snake she just encountered was an illusion. However, she would pick up the good snake skins and put them in the space, because they are good Chinese medicine.
