Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 157 Journey to the North
This year has passed extremely lively and extremely fast.

If Jin Da does not get married, he will become a blockbuster once he gets married.

Just a few months after they got married, Mrs. Jin's daughter-in-law felt unwell during the Chinese New Year. After checking, she turned out to be three months pregnant.

This action is really fast!

Aunt Jin was so happy that she set up tables in the yard for several days and invited them to dinner.

It was said that Qin Shao and the others were going to Beijing soon, and they were worried that their grandson would be full moon by then, so Master Qin would not be able to enjoy the full moon wine.

Qin Shao and the others have indeed prepared things for going to Beijing these days.

The transportation is inconvenient these days, and there may not be any situation on the road, so they decided to go to Beijing early.

"There will still be some cold days after the year, and it will be even colder in the north. In the past two days, I have inquired about the popular cloth in Shangjing, and plan to buy some winter clothes for my grandfather to bring back."

Han Jinrong said.

"All you have to do is make arrangements. The money is all with you. You also bought a few decent clothes."

Qin Shao laughed.

Everyone in the world respects clothes first and then others, and you still have to have some clothes you can take out when you go out.

In his previous life, when he had just graduated, he had been a North Drifter for several years.

At that time, in order to find a job, he spent hundreds of dollars to buy a suit, which made him very sad.

Later, the economic conditions improved, but I still didn't want to throw away the clothes. After all, it was my memory of the most difficult time.

"By the way, Lord Qin, when we arrive in Shangjing, we still have to visit Mrs. Zhu. I heard that he also has family members in Shangjing. It will be inevitable at that time. I will ask someone to make some silver coins for one or two cents. You can make money according to the situation." Thanks. I brought winter clothes, and it’s best to prepare some spring shirts. In case we don’t have time to make them in Shangjing, we’d better have a spare. I’ll also bring you a few pairs of leather boots. It’s windy and sandy in Shangjing. There are gravel, easy to wear shoes, and cotton boots, I will bring you, you can usually wear at home..."

Han Jinrong babbled about Yidatong.

Qin Shao didn't make a sound, but listened quietly to her nagging with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

In his previous life, he didn't have such a blessing. He always felt that it was a kind of showing off when he heard that his family was nagging.

Now that I have just experienced this feeling, I naturally won't feel a little bit impatient.

……

The eighth day of the first lunar month.

As soon as the dawn broke, Qin Shao's house became busy.

Han Jinrong, Mrs. Jin and her daughter-in-law Chen were baking pancakes in the kitchen and preparing dry food for the one on the way.

This year is no different from previous lives, there are shops, hotels and restaurants everywhere.

In this era, except for going through the post station or entering the city through the city, there are generally few people who sell things. If you don’t bring your own dry food, you will starve to death.

Anlu Prefecture is three or four thousand miles away from Beijing, and it takes more than a month to drive a horse-drawn carriage. If there are other reasons such as weather or other unexpected circumstances, it is normal to walk for two or three months.

They went to Shangjing this time, in fact, they were looking for family members for Han Jinrong, so they could travel around the capital, so there was no need to be so anxious.

The car not only brought food and dry food, but also cooking tools such as pots and pans.

Wang Yin directed the people to put the things they were going to bring into the carriage, everyone was talking and laughing, some were carrying burdens, some were carrying bedding, and they were busy packing their bags.

Shunzi and Jin Da are in charge of the store at the old house, and Gouzi is looking after the state government.

Everything was working fine the way he prescribed it.

Originally he wanted to keep Wang Yin, but Wang Yin was worried and insisted on following, not to mention the third son.

He left the shop, but he wasn't worried about any problems.

Even though he is only a scholar, with this status, if someone wants to pay him some attention, he has to consider it in his heart.

Moreover, Yuan Zonggao came two days ago and wanted to send another 2000 taels of silver for them to use on the road.

Qin Shao refused, saying that he could take care of his shop when he had time.

Yuan Zonggao agreed directly.

After breakfast, Qin Shao and the others bid farewell to everyone.

Drive away in a tearful crowd.

The carriage wobbled along the post road to the north.

Wang Yin followed behind on a horse.

In the distance, two people stood on a high slope and watched the carriage drift away.

"My lord, the man has already left, let's go back!"

"Zong Gao, it's good to think about it. Since I left Shangjing at the age of 15, I haven't been back for more than ten years. I can only recall it in my dreams. Xing'er has fulfilled my dream. Only my mother and concubine are still in Shangjing. I can't be filial to my knees, I will regret it all my life, Xi'er is his grandson, but I can't meet him..."

Zhu Youzhao's eyes were reddish, and his vocal cords were choked up.

Yuan Zonggao could only silently comfort him.

It's really not easy for my prince!
...

Even though this year is about to pass, the weather is still very cold.

Even though Qin Shao and the others were well prepared and wore thick clothes, the further north they went, the lower the temperature and the wind was stronger than that in Huguang.

Because they are not in a hurry, they will stop to rest when they arrive at the post station.

Spend some money and rent a few rooms to sleep in.

As for cooking, they brought cooking guys, rice grains, and various vegetables, all of which they cooked for themselves.

The food in the post station is very simple. During the meal several times, merchants passing by smelled the aroma of their food and came up to ask for a piece or two.

In this way, it took about five or six days to walk, and finally reached the territory of Yudi.

Now it is five days away from the post station in Yudi.

Wrapped in a leather jacket, Han Jinrong rubbed her hands and asked the carriage, "Master, where have we been?"

Compared with the Huguang side, there are many green plants, and the further north you go, the less green.There are many loess slopes.

"After walking a certain distance, we will be close to Kaifeng Mansion! Sit down, we have to go faster, we should be able to enter the city before dark."

Qin Shao laughed.

In fact, in Daming, he was smeared about many places, including Anlu Prefecture, where he lived before, and he hadn't heard much about it.

Listening to the people at the post station and looking at the map, he finally arrived at a place he knew better and was more famous: Kaifengfu.

An Yongzhen once said to himself that he had been to Kaifeng Mansion, and the reason why he wrote "Dragon Pattern" was also because Bao Zheng and Kaifeng Mansion left a deep impression on him.

The reason why Qin Shao was going to enter Kaifengfu City was because he wanted to see what the ancient Kaifengfu was like.

There is another important reason, that is, they have almost run out of food in the car, and they need to go there to replenish.

About two hours later, they arrived at Kaifeng Mansion.

Qin Shao looked at the towering city wall of Kaifeng Mansion, even though it was much older than the ones he had seen when he was traveling, the desolation and toweringness was still shocking.

The city walls of Kaifengfu in the previous life were all repaired with modern bricks and tiles. Compared with the current one, it lacks a lot of ancient charm.

As soon as they entered the city, there was a turmoil of people.

There are crowds of people coming and going everywhere, and there are many caravans. The neighing of horses, the mooing of cows, and the yelling of peddlers can be heard endlessly.

Occasionally, a carriage pulling goods ran past, leaving behind bursts of loess.

When Lao Zhu captured Yudi and Ludi, he thought about using this place as his capital, but later changed it to Jinling.

But the status of Kaifeng Prefecture is still very important, and it is a metropolis second only to Jinling and Shangjing in Daming.

Han Jinrong also poked her head out of the carriage and looked outside curiously.

It may also be related to the larger cities, but there are quite a few women walking around on the street, some with veiled hats and some without.

It seems that in slightly larger cities, the folk customs are relatively open.

"This Kaifeng Mansion is really different. I only went to Shaolin Temple earlier, but I didn't get into this city. The city is still lively."

The third son couldn't help but said.

Wang Yin was a little dizzy looking at the crowd coming and going.

"It's been a long journey, and it's been hard work. Let's have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow night, I'll take you to the largest night market in Kaifeng Prefecture."

Qin Shao said in a good mood.

"Master, have you been to Kaifeng Mansion?"

Han Jinrong asked curiously.

"Yes... No, no, I just heard it from someone, so I have a general understanding."

Qin Shao could only speak vaguely.

In his previous life, he traveled here and went to the snack street over there to eat delicious food.

It is said that the snack street has a history of hundreds of years, and it existed in the Song Dynasty.

If you don’t know what Daming looks like today, you can go and see.

Just for the present, it is better to find a hotel to stay in first.

Now, unlike before, they have money in their hands, so they naturally go to the nearby night market with better prices.

They were located near Daliangmen, and there happened to be a Daliangmen inn that looked very grand.

Qin Shao greeted Wang Yin and the others, and walked towards Daliangmen Inn together.
