Chapter 2308 Mrs. Tang
People are not afraid of anything except comparison.
Comparison always causes a lot of trouble.
But if we don’t compare, we can’t do it…
Yang Hexi also sighed inwardly, his eyes dimmed and he said nothing, feeling even more uncomfortable.
The mother and son were silent for a moment.
Madam Tang couldn't help but said, "Why don't we just leave here and go to Beijing? Let's go to the emperor. Because of your sincerity in coming all the way here to surrender, he will definitely look up to you and make use of you..."
Yang Hexi smiled bitterly: "Mom, do you know what you are talking about? It's not that easy!"
The world is in chaos nowadays. Although it has not yet reached the point where people are living in misery, it is definitely not safe when you travel far away.
There are definitely many thugs who rob people on the road.
What good would it be for him, a weak scholar, to travel thousands of miles to the capital with his female relatives, even if he brought a dozen servants with him?
You might get robbed before you even get halfway there, or in serious cases, you might even lose your life.
No matter how awkward Shao Yunduan felt, he had to admit that he didn't need to worry about his personal safety if he stayed in Shao Yunduan's territory.
Mrs. Tang also knew that her idea would not work at all. She could not help but feel a little desperate and cursed angrily: "If it weren't for Shao Yunduan...why would it have come to this! I will go to Hangzhou City with you!"
Yang and Xi were unable to persuade him, so they had to give up.
In Fujian, Lu Min was also happily ready to set off.
Once he leaves, he will stay in Jiangnan and will never come back.
Shao Yunduan specially transferred him there. The county magistrate under him was very good. After he recommended him, Shao Yunduan agreed and he took over the position of county magistrate.
In addition to him, Shao Yunduan will also transfer two county magistrates to Huaixi and Yuzhang, and send people from there to take over.
So Lu Min simply discussed with the other two county magistrates, County Magistrate Tong and County Magistrate Zhao, and decided that they should travel together so that they would have someone to look after them on the way.
Lu Min got married in his hometown. After he settled down in Fujian, he brought his family with him to his post. Now his wife Bai, eldest daughter and youngest child are all in Fujian, so naturally they will go to Hangzhou together this time.
This was like moving house. The luggage alone filled four cars. If the road wasn't so difficult to travel, Lu Min asked his wife, Bai, to discard as many things as possible, and they would have to pack even more.
The three county magistrates all had families, and together they were traveling with more than twenty horse-drawn carriages, plus dozens of servants who followed them, either riding donkeys or in carriages. It was a huge procession.
They set out early, so it didn't matter if they went a little slowly on the road; there were so many people and it was very lively, plus there were children chattering excitedly, so everything seemed new to them and it didn't feel monotonous at all.
It took us seven full days to reach Lishui, having covered about half the distance.
The rest of the journey was easier, and it was estimated that it would take at least five days to reach Hangzhou City, which would just be the date agreed upon by Shao Yunduan and the county magistrates.
When they stayed in Lishui that day, they found a large inn as usual and booked a large courtyard for the three families to live together.
Who knew that just as the steward was talking to the shopkeeper and the waiter was about to lead them over, a group of people came in from outside the inn and asked to book the yard. They told the shopkeeper to have someone lead the way, saying that their master and mistress were still waiting to rest...
