I thought it was a kitten, but it turned out to be a tiger...

Zhuangzhuang carefully tugged at Xiaoguo's arm and asked, "Mom, shall we go in?"

"I'm already in..." Xiao Guo swallowed her saliva. She felt a sense of pressure coming over her. She was inexplicably nervous. Was it a bit wrong to come here to deliver a private letter?

This was the first time she thought of this problem. It might have been influenced by the building. If it was a small run-down building or a small inn, she would have delivered the letter and returned home long ago.

But it was too late to leave, because someone had spotted me walking this way...

"You are here."

The voice sounded familiar. Xiao Guo looked at the person who came and said, "It's you!"

The man who came was the postman who often delivered letters to Xiaoguo. He was free today and had nothing to do, so he stayed at the post station to help. He happened to see a familiar figure in the yard, and when he got closer, it was indeed it.

Seeing a semi-acquaintance, Xiao Guo felt relieved. At least meeting someone he had met before in a strange place made him feel more at ease.

"You're here to deliver a letter?"

The postman guessed Xiaoguo's purpose. In fact, he could guess it after she asked for his address that day, that she might have a letter to deliver.

After Xiaoguo nodded, the postman took her to the lobby.

"Will it be a problem if I park my donkey cart here?"

Just in case, she parked the donkey cart in the corner, but she was still worried that it would hinder the carriage from entering and exiting.

The postman looked at it and shook his head, "It's okay, just stop there."

Xiaoguo was relieved now, mainly because the oppressive feeling here made her involuntarily cautious.

Zhuangzhuang is not as reserved as Xiaoguo. He was a little nervous when he came in, but then he slowly relaxed. If Xiaoguo hadn't held him, he would have walked around.

Xiaoguo pulled Zhuangzhuang tight and told him not to run around in this place. It might be bad if he bumped into something. He just stayed by her side and left immediately after delivering the letter.

The person in charge of registration was not in the lobby, so I had to wait inside.

Maybe it was because she had been inside for a while, she felt less nervous and at least had the leisure to ask the postman for news.

"Madam, is this your first time here?" The postman had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance whether she had been here before.

Xiao Guo smiled and nodded, "This place is much bigger than I thought."

"That's right. Although we can't compare with those post stations in Suzhou, we are the only one within a hundred miles." It was not difficult to hear the pride in the postman's tone.

Xiao Guo listened carefully and analyzed what he meant. According to the rule of one post station in thirty, there are actually many post stations around. This post station is a medium-sized one, and the ones around it are all small.

The medium-sized ones are all like this, so what are the large ones like?

Xiaoguo thought about it and became a little curious. If there was a post station, why didn't they stay in the post station when they went to the capital last time, but had to go into the county and stay in an inn?

It's not to save national resources...

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Xiao Guo shook his head and brought his thoughts back to normal. Just as he was about to ask something, he was attracted by the neighing of horses outside. The postman rushed out the moment he heard the noise.

Xiaoguo was startled and immediately tightened Zhuangzhuang's grip and put away the letter to Jiang Shanhe.

Zhuangzhuang is very curious, and when he hears the noise, he pulls her out to see the excitement.

Xiaoguo was actually a little curious, so she followed his strength and went out.

As soon as I went out, I saw the gate. The gatekeeper who was not there just now was now standing at the gate to stop the soldiers from coming and going. It was difficult to see how many people there were from a distance, but there were only three or four people who showed up.

Those people led their horses and handed something to the gatekeeper, which looked like a sign. Xiaoguo squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. The gatekeeper took a look at the sign and then let people in.

Xiaoguo was a little surprised. This hadn't happened when she came here just now. Would they not let her out later?

Zhuangzhuang did not share Xiaoguo's sadness. When he saw the tall horse rushing to the backyard, he felt as anxious as a cat and wanted to follow it to the back to take a look at the stables.

Xiaoguo pulled Zhuangzhuang tightly, and seeing that he was about to go out again, he pulled him back.

At this time, the postman also came into the house, bringing with him the official in charge of registration.

When this person saw Xiaoguo, he immediately wanted to bow to her, which scared her and she quickly pulled Zhuangzhuang away. She didn't like this.

"The general's wife has arrived. I apologize for not coming so far to greet you."

"Don't..." Xiao Guo paused, wondering how he knew she was a general's wife, so she changed the subject and said, "It doesn't matter."

Since he called her the general's wife, she couldn't lose face in front of Jiang Shanhe and could only agree.

"I must have accidentally frightened the lady just now. This postmaster deserves death!"

Xiaoguo looked at the short old man with an unremarkable appearance and nodded when he introduced himself. It turned out that he was the supervisor here. She had just thought he was the postman in charge of registration.

"This is our postmaster."

The postman behind the old man introduced it to Xiaoguo again.

"Hello, hello." Xiao Guo smiled and said, "I'm not scared."

Hearing her say this, both of them were relieved. As long as she wasn't scared, it was good. You know, the general had given instructions...

Then the postmaster explained to her what had just happened. There was an urgent letter that needed to be delivered to the capital, and several people came in to change horses on the way. Because it was an urgent letter, there was inevitably some noise.

Xiao Guo nodded in understanding. So that's how it was.

Then she handed them the letter and a small package, and explained the address in detail. For the people in the post station, this was just a formality. After all, everyone in the post station knew the general's wife, so it was natural that the address of her letter was the general's location.

Xiaoguo was about to pay. After all, his letter was not a state letter, and he couldn't continue to use up state public resources, so giving some money was a consolation.

But I didn't expect that once they saw the money, they exaggerated and said that it was an honor for them to deliver the letter for you, and it would be a crime to accept money, etc.

They said they didn't think so, but Xiaoguo got goosebumps when she heard it. This was the first time she really felt Jiang Danhe's identity and that he really had special privileges...

In fact, the privileges accompanied her all the time, from the moment she entered the door to the moment she left. For example, she did not need a token to enter and exit, and she was the first ordinary citizen to enter here to report family news, and the postmaster personally registered for her, and so on.

During the visit, Zhuangzhuang accidentally revealed his curiosity about this place, and was noticed by the sharp-eyed postmaster, who immediately asked someone to take him for a tour.

When he left the post station pulling the donkey cart, he was personally seen off by the postmaster, whose enthusiasm made Xiaoguo feel embarrassed to come again.

Xiaoguo didn't figure out how they knew she was Jiang Shanhe's wife until she walked away.

In the post station, not long after Xiaoguo left, the postmaster urged people to speed up the delivery of the letter to Jiang Shanhe.

As for why they knew the general's wife, it was because Jiang Shanhe had sent someone to greet her long ago.

He even came here in person two months ago. At first they didn't believe it. How could the general appear in their place when he was in the capital? It was not until he showed the token that they were convinced.

Jiang Shanhe's intention was to ask them to pay attention. He also showed them Xiaoguo's portrait and said that if this man came, they should not be stopped. If he sent a letter to him, then arrangements should be made and someone should be sent to deliver it.

From that day on, each of them had a portrait of Xiaoguo. What they had to do every day was to look at her portrait to deepen their memory. Until now, they can't forget it without looking at it.
