Chapter 345 On the Journey

Mrs. Wei and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gathered in a wide carriage to play mahjong.

This carriage was modified by Yu Siyang and equipped with a shock-absorbing function, so it drove very steadily. Mrs. Wei was playing mahjong with her daughters-in-law without being affected at all.

Xingxing was reluctant to stay in the carriage, so she changed into riding clothes and went horseback riding with her brothers.

After riding for only half a day, Xingxing's legs and waist couldn't take it anymore, so she got back into the carriage.

Daxisipo liked quietness and didn't like being with people. She was alone in a carriage, always closing her eyes and resting.

Xingxing came in and saw Daxi Sipo taking a nap. She did not disturb her. She stayed with her quietly for a while and then went out.

Considering that there were many older people in the team, Huai Ge'er was not in a hurry to go to Beijing for the reward, so the carriage was not moving very fast. In addition, this was the first day of the journey, so it was still fresh. The Yu family rarely felt tired, and everyone was very excited.

In the evening, the group found an inn and stayed there.

In addition to the Yu family, the convoy also included Grandma Da Xi and Old Lady Liu. When they were about to leave, Fan Pingfang and her group were added. There were quite a lot of people, and the small post station suddenly became a lot more lively.

Some are eating, some are asking for hot water, some are chatting.

Grandma Wei took Xingxing to the room and checked her legs. Seeing a red mark between her legs, she said distressedly, "You can't ride a horse for as long as your brothers in the future. They are men, so it doesn't matter if they have thick skin. You are a little girl with delicate skin and tender flesh. It hurts so much for you to have such a red mark."

Xing Xing hugged Grandma Wei and said coquettishly, "Grandma, I know. Can't I play cards with you guys tomorrow?"

Mrs. Wei said, "No, no one can beat you if you come. It's better for you to sit next to me and watch me play cards."

Xing Xing nodded in a good-tempered manner: "Okay, okay, I will help grandma win back all the private money of my aunt and her family!"

Mrs. Wei couldn't help laughing because of Xingxing's amusing behavior.

The next day, Huai Ge'er took into account that some people might not be used to it after setting out the day before, so he wanted everyone to rest for a while. However, he never expected that after he went out to practice a set of sword skills and came back, he found that most people had basically gotten up and were already sitting in the lobby of the inn eating. It seemed that they had rested well.

Xing Xing saw Huai Ge'er and waved to him: "Big brother, come here, I saved a seat for you."

Huai Ge'er strode over with a smile, stretched out his long legs, and sat down next to Xing Xing.

Huai glanced at Gui who was drinking wontons across the table and said sincerely, "Fourth brother, it's so hard to see you."

Gui Ge'er smiled and said, "Brother, I have something to do."

It is common knowledge that Gui Ge'er has become increasingly elusive in recent years.

It seemed that Gui Ge'er had found a mysterious master and had been learning from him. The Yu family was also worried at first, but seeing that Gui Ge'er was getting better and better and nothing bad had happened, after a while, everyone just accepted it.

Like this time when they were moving to the capital, Gui Ge'er disappeared for a while as usual.

After coming back, Gui Ge'er started packing his bags with everyone else, looking carefree and happy as he prepared to go to Beijing.

After breakfast, Boger made arrangements with the stove room at the post station in advance to prepare fifty kilograms of braised beef and hundreds of cakes, which were packed and taken on the carriage.

Xingxing thought the pickled cucumbers at this post station were delicious, so she used a few more chopsticks at breakfast. Boger saw this and bought two more jars from the post station when he left.

The second day's journey began.

Mrs. Wei was addicted to playing cards, and she asked several daughters-in-law to play mahjong. Xingxing sat behind Mrs. Wei as she said yesterday. Mrs. Wei won a lot of money, and Li Chunhua and other filial daughters-in-law were a little overwhelmed.

It’s not that I feel sorry for my personal money, but it’s just too painful to keep losing!

Everyone glanced at Xing Xing behind Mrs. Wei and began to devise various plans to "grab" Xing Xing:

"Xingxing, come here, my waist is a little sore, come over and give me a massage."

Mrs. Wei pointed at Xiao and scolded: "If your waist hurts, go find the maid, but don't ask me, Xingxing, to do it!"

Li Chunhua coughed and said, "Xingxing, my eyesight is a little blurry. Come over here and help me look at the cards."

Mrs. Wei said, "I have good eyesight. I will help you."

Li Chunhua: “…”

Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely joyful. Xing Xing smiled and sat with Mrs. Wei for a while. Seeing that several aunts and uncles were about to cry because of their defeat, she smiled and said to Mrs. Wei, "Grandma, I'm going to play in another carriage for a while."

Mrs. Wei knew that she couldn't be too drastic. If she really upset her daughters-in-law, what would she do if they didn't want to play with her anymore?

Mrs. Wei waved her hand and agreed, but she only made one request to Xingxing: "You can't ride a horse like your brothers. Rest for two days before riding again."

Xingxing then ran to Mian Ge'er, Xu Ge'er and Ling Jie'er's place and played with the children. She was very busy.

During the journey, everyone was in a good mood because they were all together as a family. In addition, with the protection of the soldiers brought by Huai Ge'er, who looked tough at first glance, there were no problems along the way.

There was only one thing, which was that when Ju Ge'er and Zhao Meng were riding horses in the mountains, they accidentally bumped into a ragged woman. The woman was not seriously injured, but her leg was injured.

The girl said she wanted to go to the capital, so Ju Ge'er took the responsibility and asked the girl to ride in the same carriage with the maids, preparing to take her to the capital.

The person was bumped by Zhao Meng when he was riding a horse. Zhao Meng felt very upset and felt that he had caused trouble for Ju Ge'er.

Zhao Meng's father was buried in an avalanche a few years ago, and died a few days after he was dug out.

From that time on, the Yu family paid for Zhao Meng to go to school with Ju Ge'er. The two of them stayed together for many years, and Zhao Meng was willing to stand behind Ju Ge'er.

This time when he went to Beijing, Zhao Meng and his mother also followed him.

Zhao Meng accidentally bumped into someone while riding a horse, and he always felt that he was in trouble.

Ju Ge'er patted Zhao Meng's shoulder cheerfully, "It's not a big deal. Didn't the elder sister say that she doesn't blame you? You, you keep thinking about this kind of thing, how tiring it is. We have been going smoothly all the way, so smoothly that it's a bit unreasonable. Although it's normal that nothing happened with my little lucky girl Xing Xing, it seems more normal for such a small incident to happen, isn't it?"

The two brothers looked good and walked away holding Zhao Meng's shoulders.

Zhao Meng went to see the injured woman. She was a quiet person and didn't say much while sitting there. But it seemed that one of her eyes was blind, and there was a misty white inside, which made her look very pitiful.

The woman did not blame Zhao Meng, but Zhao Meng felt even more guilty.

He knew that Da Xi Si Po had a bad temper, so he didn't dare to ask Da Xi Si Po for help. Instead, he found Xing Xing and asked her to go and take a look at the woman.
