Chapter 484: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 34
When we arrived at the carriage dealership, we saw several carriages parked inside. The drivers were either resting on the side or taking care of the carriages.
A waiter saw Yu Yao coming in and immediately came over to greet her.
He first looked her up and down, and seeing that she was dressed simply but had an extraordinary demeanor, he did not dare to look down on her, and asked enthusiastically, "Miss, do you want to rent a car?"
Yu Yao nodded, "I want to rent a carriage to go to Fengqi County. The carriage is stable and the driver is honest. The price is not a problem. Please arrange it for me."
She is a woman and alone, so it is very important that the woman she chooses for the carriage is honest.
When the waiter heard this, he understood what she was worried about and said with a smile, "Don't worry, young lady. Our drivers are carefully selected. They are all honest and have very good driving skills. I will arrange the most suitable carriage and driver for you right away."
As he spoke, he led her around the dealership and introduced the features of each carriage.
Yu Yao listened carefully and looked around.
There were all kinds of carriages. She picked one that looked comfortable, asked the price, and rented it without hesitation.
Although the price is a bit high, she has no shortage of money and safety is the most important thing.
Seeing how straightforward she was, the guy immediately smiled and started saying nice things to her without asking for any money.
Then, a driver who was nearly forty years old came in. He had dark skin and a simple smile on his face.
He clasped his fists and saluted, introducing himself: "Miss, my surname is Wang, you can just call me Coachman Wang, I will definitely take you to Fengqi County safely."
Yu Yao looked at him and saw that his eyes were clear and he looked honest and simple. She felt relieved and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, driver. If you are ready, let's go."
Driver Wang nodded and was about to get on the carriage.
Seeing that she didn't bring any gifts, he was surprised, "Girl, this journey is long, don't you need to prepare some dry food for the journey?"
Regardless of anything else, you must bring water and dry food, as you may not always encounter towns and villages on the road.
She suddenly remembered this and said with embarrassment, "It is my fault for neglecting this. Please wait for a moment, driver."
After saying that, she left the car dealership, turned around and went to Wufangzhai not far away to buy some cakes.
As for water, there is spring water in her space.
But in order not to arouse the driver's suspicion, she still took out a kettle from the space.
Back at the carriage shop, driver Wang was carefully checking all the parts of the carriage to prevent any problems that might arise on the way that would be difficult to repair.
Seeing her coming back, he smiled and went forward, "Girl, if you have bought it, then let's go."
Yu Yao nodded slightly and got into the carriage.
The interior of the car is simply and comfortably decorated, with soft cushions, making it very comfortable to sit on.
She opened the curtains and looked at the passing scenery outside the window, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
Along the way, we have to pass through Mangkhut County and then go to Fengqi County. It is unknown how long the journey will take.
She estimated that when she arrived in Fengqi County, the autumn examination would have already begun.
But it doesn’t matter, you can wait outside the examination room.
I just have to avoid Chen Xiutian, it would be bad if he saw me.
Soon, the carriage slowly drove away from Qingshi Town and headed towards Fengqi County.
The carriage was a little bumpy. Yu Yao touched her belly, thinking about the two little ones in it.
She swallowed a pill to preserve the pregnancy, and felt much more at ease.
She closed her eyes and dozed off. The carriage was shaking and she felt uncomfortable, as if she wanted to vomit.
I don’t know if it’s because the carriage is too bumpy or if it’s a reaction to early pregnancy, but I just feel a little uncomfortable at the moment.
She saw that the carriage curtain was drawn and the driver would not look inside unless necessary.
After thinking about it, he hid in the space.
Anyway, she can pay attention to the situation outside in the space. If the coachman needs her for something, she can just come out.
She was sleeping soundly on the big bed in the space wooden house, and when she was hungry she even cooked herself a bowl of noodles.
There are not only gold, silver and jewelry in here, but also rice, flour, grain, oil and other food. The kitchen is at the back of the wooden house, which is very convenient.
She has a habit of hoarding things, for fear that they might be needed in some future dimension.
Yu Yao slept comfortably in the space and filled her stomach, and she felt much better.
She watched the movement of the carriage outside through the space, and seeing that it was still moving steadily, she stayed in the space for a while with peace of mind.
As for coachman Wang, he drove the carriage steadily, and from time to time he would shout softly or flick the whip in his hand.
Although the girl looked a little mysterious, she became quiet soon after entering the carriage, and the curtains were drawn tightly.
What puzzled him most was that the carriage was too light, so light that it seemed as if there was no one inside.
He frowned, but couldn't lift the curtain to look inside. He couldn't help but shout, "Girl."
Hearing the driver calling her, Yu Yao was so scared that she quickly came out of the space, lifted the curtain and answered: "Driver Wang, what's the matter?"
Driver Wang scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Girl, I am a little confused. Why does this carriage feel so light? It seems that there is no one inside. That's why I called you to see if you have any problem."
Yu Yao was shocked and secretly blamed herself for being careless. She was only concerned about her comfort and forgot about this.
Her mind raced, and she said with a smile, "Haha, I was feeling a little carsick just now, so I huddled in a corner against the wall of the carriage, so I probably didn't take up much weight. Sorry to have worried you, but I'm feeling much better now."
When driver Wang heard this, he said hurriedly, "So that's how it is. Miss, you must be feeling carsick. If you still feel uncomfortable, just tell me and we can find a place to rest for a while."
"Thank you, Coachman Wang. I really have nothing to do right now. Please go on your way."
After saying that, he lowered the curtain.
Now, she didn't dare to hide in the space anymore and just sat obediently in the carriage.
Driver Wang responded and concentrated on driving the carriage.
The carriage continued to move forward, and when it came across a town or village, it would stop to rest, walk around, eat something, or relieve itself.
Then continue on your journey.
At the same time, Chen Mufeng and his group, who had set out a few days earlier, just arrived at the prosperous Fengqi County.
Fengqi County is a large county with not only prosperous commerce but also well-known for its flourishing literary culture. It is a holy place in the hearts of many scholars.
It was the time of the autumn examination, and the city was bustling with people.
Candidates came from all directions, and inns, teahouses, bookstores and other places were all crowded.
Some unscrupulous innkeepers took the opportunity to raise the room prices, causing many students from poor families to be unable to afford to stay in the inn.
You can only stay in a lower-class room or go somewhere else.
Chen Mufeng looked at the scene in front of him and frowned slightly.
Just as Third Sister-in-law said, the inn took the opportunity to raise the room rate.
Chen Xiutian followed behind with his luggage, secretly shocked by the scene in the city.
If Master Li had not made arrangements in advance, they might not be able to book an inn even if they had the money.
Even if you can order it, the price will be very expensive.
Zhang Shuhan was also very grateful.
I am short of money and don't have much.
Otherwise, I would have to sleep on the streets or live in a shabby house.
Li Mingxuan looked at the expressions of the three people, smiled and said a few words.
He took them to his own courtyard located in the east of Fengqi County.
The environment here is quiet, with green trees and far away from the hustle and bustle, giving people a feeling of tranquility.
There are several side rooms in the courtyard, which are decorated simply and elegantly. Servants shuttle between them, busy and orderly.
Chen Mufeng stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, and was in a good mood.
He turned his head, looked at Zhang Shuhan who was sorting books, and asked, "Brother Zhang, what do you think of this place?"
Zhang Shuhan put down the book in his hand, looked up at Chen Mufeng, and smiled shyly: "Brother Chen, I never thought I could live in such an elegant place. It is far away from the hustle and bustle, and it is the best place to prepare for the exam. Thanks to you and Brother Li, otherwise I am afraid I can't even afford a low-class room."
His relationship with Li Mingxuan was actually very ordinary. On the contrary, Brother Chen and Brother Li had a good relationship. It was all thanks to Brother Chen that he had a good relationship.
Chen Mufeng smiled slightly and patted Zhang Shuhan on the shoulder: "Brother Zhang, you and I are both scholars, and we should support each other. You are hardworking and studious, how can I stand idly by? Besides, this is also the credit of Brother Li. If it weren't for his generous help, how could we enjoy such treatment?"
The two smiled at each other, and their friendship became even deeper.
After chatting for a while, the two continued to prepare for the autumn examination.
Chen Mufeng picked up an ancient book, sat down at the desk, and began to study it carefully.
The sunlight shone through the window onto the pages of the book. His eyes were focused and serious. He sometimes frowned in thought, and sometimes recorded his insights on paper.
Li Mingxuan was in the yard discussing some matters with the servants to ensure that there would be no problems in daily life during the exam preparation period.
Although his family was a tea merchant and very wealthy, they were merchants after all, and merchants had a low status since ancient times.
Therefore, he placed high hopes on this autumn examination, hoping to change his family's destiny through the imperial examination.
He instructed his servants to prepare pens, ink, paper, inkstone and other preparation items for the exam.
At the same time, I thought that if I could graduate from high school, my family might be viewed differently by the world.
