Chapter 8 Leaving the Capital
"The old slave is going to pack up the house now, Liu'er, you also come to help mother." As soon as Madam Li heard that she was about to leave, she immediately called her daughter into the room.

Liang Guoguo took out a bank note from the purse at her waist. Seeing her bulging purse, the Yang family father and son couldn't help but feel happy. It turns out that the young lady has a lot of money, so they can rest assured.

This is the condition of their family, and if the young lady follows them, she is afraid that it will be difficult for the young lady.

Fortunately, Miss is not short of money.

Liang Guoguo handed the bank note to Yang Shitao, "Brother Shitao, go to the livestock market to buy a strong and good horse, and match it with a sturdy carriage."

After hearing what she said, Yang Shitao's originally surprised expression turned into a compliment.

100 taels of silver seems a lot, but if the lady wants to buy a strong and good horse, 100 taels is not enough.

If it's just an ordinary horse, 100 taels may not be too late.

In today's world, the price of horses is really high.

Liang Guoguo saw the constipated expression on his face, and after thinking about it for a while, she knew what he was struggling with. She took out another bank note, "Is it enough?"

She thought of a horse as the price of a cow.

The expression on Yang Shitao's face immediately changed drastically, and he reached out to take the bank note, "Enough, Miss, there is still more to use up, a good horse and carriage, about 150 taels."

He used to be a waiter in a restaurant, so he was the most well-informed about these news.

"Oh, then take the rest and buy some cooked food to eat in the car."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yang Shitao said in his heart: How many rolls can be used for a little cooked food?
As soon as Yang Shitao left, people from the dental shop came to see the house. After looking at the house, after a while of bargaining, it was finally sold for 580 taels.

Consumption in the capital is high, and housing prices are naturally not low. If Yang Quan's house is not in a hurry to sell, it may be sold for 700 taels after a few more days.

Yang Quan followed the people from Yamen to the Yamen to go through the formalities of transferring the house deed, and when he came back, he came with the carriage.

The door was too small for the carriage to enter the yard, so Liang Guoguo recommended himself to guard the carriage at the gate.

The Yang family father and son started to move the family's things. After loading all the luggage into the carriage, everyone realized that there was no room for anyone to sit on the carriage.

Liang Guoguo also stared blankly, unable to close his mouth for a long time.

She felt aggrieved.

The original intention of asking Yang Shitao to buy a carriage with the money himself was that she didn't want to walk, and it was hard on her short legs.

And now it's only an hour before dark, can they reach that village on the ten-mile road?Especially for her little body.

Seeing this, Yang Quan and Nanny Li blushed, how could this be possible?

"Mother Liu'er, pick out some unimportant ones, it's getting late, we have to hurry up and set off."

Nanny Li immediately sorted through the luggage, picked out the dispensable things, unloaded the carriage, and finally freed up half the space in the carriage.

It was a little crowded for one person, one person, two children and three people to sit inside. Fortunately, it was already autumn and the weather was not so hot.

Yang's father and son were sitting outside driving the carriage.

After leaving the city gate for a while, Liang Guoguo didn't want to squeeze in the carriage, so he insisted on sitting outside.

Nanny Li had nothing to do with her, and because the young lady was a woman and crowded with her son, it had a bad influence on the young lady, so she had to ask the youngest son to change places with the young lady.

Liang Guoguo just disliked being too stuffy in the carriage, and she also wanted to visit the scenery on the ancient official road.

The road is a dirt road, quite wide and flat.

Fortunately, there is a layer of fine stones on the road, so that the dust will not fly all over the sky.

There are tall trees planted on both sides of the official road, and there are many kinds of trees, all of which she does not know.

As Liang Guoguo looked at it, his eyes became tired and he began to feel drowsy.

Uncle Yang reminded her several times that she avoided the fate of falling off the carriage.

"Miss, why don't you sit in the carriage?" Yang Quan was really worried that if he didn't notice her, she would fall off the carriage.

"I don't want to go, it's too stuffy inside." Liang Guoguo didn't want to go in the air-tight compartment, preferring to doze off outside.

Hearing her words, both Yang Quan who was driving the carriage and Nanny Li in the carriage felt very embarrassed.

It's all because their family occupied more than half of the carriage, otherwise the young lady wouldn't have to suffer. Besides, the young lady bought the carriage with money.

The journey back to his hometown is not short. According to the current speed, it will take at least one or two months to get there. Such a long time, the young lady cannot be kept suffering like this. It seems that their family still needs to hire a horse.

Liang Guoguo leaned drowsily on the carriage, squinted his eyes and asked, "Uncle Yang, how long will it take to reach that village?"

"We'll be there in about two miles, please bear with me, Miss."

Erli, that is, 1000 meters, Uncle Yang's speed of driving the carriage is not fast, but it is faster than people, and it should be there in half a quarter of an hour.

Liang Guoguo sat up straight and pulled herself together. It only took 15 minutes, and it was very fast.

The village is just a few hundred meters below the official road. There is a road that is half narrower than the official road leading to the village. There is a street near the official road. There are not only inns, restaurants, teahouses, and Buzhuang has a medical clinic and many small stalls set up by local villagers.

It is dusk now, and there are still a few scattered stalls open on the street, selling wild fruits, straw sandals and cloth shoes, small handicrafts and so on.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the entrance of an inn, two waiters from the inn immediately came to receive him.

One person took the horse rope and said: "Guest officer, I will lead the horse to the stable in the backyard for you guys."

"I'm sorry, Xiaoer. There are still some clothes and quilts in the carriage, please take care." Yang Quan thanked him and reminded him.

When Nanny Li and the others got off the carriage, each of them was carrying a bundle in their hands. There were all valuables in the bundle, and there was also a set of clothes for the evening. Even Liang Guoguo carried one on his back.

"Guest officer, don't worry, there is a guard guarding our backyard, and we will definitely help you look after it."

Liang Guoguo and the others followed another waiter into the inn and were led directly to the shopkeeper.

"How many rooms do the guest officers need to open? What type of rooms do you want?"

When the shopkeeper saw the guest, he asked with a friendly smile on his face.

Yang Quan glanced at Liang Guoguo secretly, and said, "Two low-class rooms and one upper-class room. I only stay for one night."

Although Yang Quan's eyes were dark, he was caught by the shopkeeper. He glanced at Liang Guoguo calmly, but he was too short and the counter was a bit high, so he could only see the top of his head.

However, this does not affect his business. "A high-class room costs one tael a night, and a low-class room costs one tael. The total is one tael."
