After hearing this, the Lin family members looked at Lin Jinlian with a different look in an instant.
"Jinlian, you're right. My daughter is smart and pretty. It's possible for her to find a rich man. At the very least, it's better than marrying those peasants in the village."
When Liu Xiaohua said this, she had completely forgotten the fact that she was also a country bumpkin.
Lin Jinshan, who was lying on the ground, suddenly sat up.
"Sister, if you really marry into a good family in the future, don't forget to help me. The life I will live for the rest of my life depends entirely on you."
When Lin Jinlian heard her family's flattery and praise, she felt as if she had married into a wealthy family. She held her head high, but she still spoke modestly.
"Haha, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. If that day ever comes, I will definitely not forget our family."
When Liu Xiaohua heard this, her face wrinkled with joy.
"Oh, my Jinlian is still sensible. Whether we can live a good life in the future depends entirely on my good daughter."
"By the way, Dad, Mom, why didn't we see Lin Jiuyue and her brother along the way?"
When mentioning Lin Jiuyue's brother and sister, Lin Dongming and Liu Xiaohua's faces turned a little ugly.
"Why bring up that scourge for no reason? If it weren't for her, would our family be disliked by the villagers?"
Liu Xiaohua looked disgusted.
If it weren't for that little bitch Lin Jiuyue talking nonsense, her family wouldn't have been ostracized by the villagers of Lijia Village, and no one would have come to help when their food was stolen.
"Mom, I just remembered this. I heard that many refugees who have no food to eat will exchange their children or daughters for food. If Lin Jiuyue were here, maybe..."
Lin Jinlian only said half of what she meant, but the whole family understood what she meant.
"That being said, we still don't know where Lin Jiuyue and her brother are."
Liu Xiaohua was also moved when she heard this.
It would be great if Lin Jiuyue and her brother could exchange some food for their family. It's a pity that I didn't think of this at the beginning.
At this time, Lin Jiuyue and her brother were traveling all night, and they had no idea that the Lin family had their eyes on them again.
But even if she knew, Lin Jiuyue was not afraid.
Lin Jiuyue and the other two drove the carriage all the way without stopping. When they were tired, they would take turns driving. The journey that would have taken ten days was completed in just five days.
If we weren't afraid of tiring the horse, we might be able to go even faster.
However, the horse was able to hold on until now only because Lin Jiuyue secretly fed it spiritual spring water every day. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to carry three people and supplies for such a long distance, and even travel day and night.
"September, in two days, we will be in the suburbs of Beijing."
Lin Jiuyue looked towards the suburbs of Beijing.
It has been more than a month since I traveled through time.
For over a month now, I've been on the road constantly. If I didn't have space, I'd probably be struggling on the brink of life and death like the other refugees.
When Lin Qiye heard Gu Chengyan's words, he sat up from the carriage and asked with sparkling eyes.
"Brother Gu, what is the capital city like? Is it like the legend says, with gold everywhere and everyone you meet as a noble?"
"Also, is the palace as magnificent as described in the storybooks?"
Lin Qiye wanted to ask if it was like what was shown on TV, but when the words came to his lips he changed his mind and thought.
Gu Chengyan pulled the corner of his mouth.
"Qi Ye, where did you hear all this?"
"I heard it from the adults in the village. I heard they heard it from a storyteller."
"Well, there's no gold everywhere, and not everyone you meet is a noble. However, there are indeed many nobles in the capital. From now on, you just need to be careful when walking around the capital. As long as you take the initiative and don't cause trouble, there will basically be no problem."
After listening to this, Lin Qiye lost half of his interest.
The rumors are not entirely true.
"Okay, don't worry too much. Once you enter the capital, if you need any help, you can come to me."
Lin Jiuyue nodded and didn't bother to be polite with Gu Chengyan.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Lin Jiuyue subconsciously tightened her clothes.
"Gu Chengyan, do you feel that the weather is getting colder and colder?"
Gu Chengyan also frowned when he heard Lin Jiuyue's words.
Although it is already the end of July and Beijing is located in the north, the temperature is not that low at this time.
"There's something wrong with the temperature this year. At this time of year in previous years, the capital doesn't feel cold at all."
Hearing Gu Chengyan's words, Lin Jiuyue frowned subconsciously.
Is the natural disaster not over yet? Is the current calm just the calm before the storm?
If this is true, then I have to make plans early.
"We still have two days to go, so let's not rest yet. Let's hurry to the capital and get our household registration done first. We can talk about other things after we're settled in."
Lin Jiuyue shook her head, put aside the messy thoughts in her mind, and decided to go to Beijing first to get her household registration and other things done.
After all, those who arrive first always have an advantage over those who arrive later.
Gu Chengyan looked at the horse and nodded in agreement after seeing that there was nothing wrong with it.
"Okay. Then I won't rest. I'll talk to you guys after you settle down."
For fear of any trouble on the road, Lin Jiuyue and the other two shortened the two-day journey to just one day.
Lin Jiuyue finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the gate of the capital city.
Unfortunately, when we arrived at the city gate, it was already closed. If we wanted to enter the city, we had to wait until dawn.
Lin Jiuyue wanted to enter the city early, so she waited at the city gate, intending to enter the city as soon as the gate opened. She would change her clothes first.
After waiting for a night, as soon as the city gate opened the next day, Lin Jiuyue and others entered the city.
"Jiuyue, Qiye, come with me to my house and rest for a while. After you've rested, I'll have the housekeeper take you to change your household registration."
Lin Jiuyue originally wanted to refuse, but then she thought that Gu Chengyan was from the capital, and if he helped, she might be able to get a better place.
"Then I won't be polite."
Seeing that Lin Jiuyue agreed, Gu Chengyan drove the carriage directly to the general's mansion.
The cart, pulled by horses and covered with oilcloth, with no one knowing what was underneath, always attracted the attention of passersby as it passed through the streets.
Lin Jiuyue and her brother were thick-skinned. When they saw other people looking at them, they acted as if they didn't see it. Naturally, it wouldn't work.
