Chapter 243: The Girl Knows When She Sees It
I sat firmly on the wicker chair, but the younger man next to me hesitated and said: "Your Excellency, it will take nearly two hours to go to Qingxuan Temple. Why don't you take some rest? Or prepare some water."
I haven't considered this.
However, the sun has only risen for more than half an hour now. If we can catch up with the mountain, it will be around lunch time, so we should not delay.
Hearing what I said, the father and son nodded quickly: "Listen to your noble lord. There are people selling some simple drinking water in the middle of our mountain road, but they are just plain food, not as wide as the variety at the foot of the mountain. But if your lord is in need, you can also
It can fill in a little bit."
I nodded: "Then there's no need to worry. Let's go."
After all, although everyone calls me a noble person, I am still essentially that little village girl.
Xiaolian was sitting next to me, held up by a black umbrella. Under the shade of the trees, it wasn't too hard. But the lantern still sighed: "I haven't been able to put on my new shell, so now I'm going up wearing the old one."
, just like going out without changing clothes..."
Xiaolian glanced at it: "Do you want to wait in Zhou Mansion for ten and a half days before going up the mountain?"
Anyway, they don't have the ability to make lantern shells.
"Forget it then." The lantern just followed me so that I could see more of it outside. Now naturally I don't want to leave it at home.
At this moment, I can only give up in frustration.
As the courier in front said: "Sit tight!"
I just felt my body sway and I was lifted up. The father and son in front of me steadily carried me and slowly walked up the steps.
Because there are often noble people going up and down the mountain, the road is well maintained, but Xiaolian is a little confused:
"Yu Xin, although walking up the mountain is a bit difficult, it's nothing to you and me."
Country girl, where have you not been?
"Why do you still need to hire someone to carry it?"
I looked at the stable postman in front of me and said, "I just suddenly saw that his wife was going into labor at home tonight, and it cost a full three taels of silver to ask the doctor to refill the soup, which is hard to come up with."
According to what the coachman said, a postman would normally charge one hundred and fifty cash to carry someone up the mountain. However, there were often rewards from wealthy households, and he could barely earn three to two hundred cash.
If it hadn't been for me this time and they had stayed half an hour later, they would still have been able to get the business. However, the competition among the postmen here is really fierce, so today's only order, plus the savings, is still one or two cents short.
The lantern also sighed: "Women scream miserably during childbirth... I used to hang under the inn and heard many of them."
The soft sedan swayed up the mountain. The father and son had been doing this for ten or twenty years. The person in front had his arms drooping, while the one behind him had more difficulty and raised his arms to maintain balance.
Therefore, the young people stand in the front and the old people in the back. This is because they are used to it and have more experience.
Seeing that I was a young girl, the father and son did not dare to speak. However, I asked curiously:
"In this Qingxuan Temple, which Taoist priest is the most profound?"
The old man laughed and said, "Young man is joking. The Taoist priests in Qingxuan Temple all have great abilities, but they never take action. We don't know much about it."
"But if he didn't take action, why would everyone in the imperial capital want to pursue him?"
