Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 2 Leaving Shunnan City

Yiman stared at the waiter's clothes, and just as the waiter was about to open his mouth, the shopkeeper suddenly said, "Then why don't you, your Majesty, come in person?"

The guy had just been scolded by the shopkeeper yesterday for losing business to his neighbor. Now when he heard the shopkeeper speak, he shut his mouth and stood back and watched honestly.

Yiman saw that although the guy had closed his mouth, he was still standing behind and watching, and he suddenly didn't dare to break out in sweat.

"Today, the young lady of Liu Yuan's family in the west of the city gave birth and asked my father to go, and even my mother went to help. I was grinding medicine in the pharmacy, and I came here only after I went to Liu Yuan's house to ask my father."

It turns out that the wife of Yuan Liu in the west of the city was very domineering because she had been an official, and she had long heard about it.If Liu Yuan's mother-in-law could deliver the baby, I think it would be a good idea to come to that hospital.It seems that although this girl is angry and embarrassed by the Nanyang people collecting debts, she is not panicked.Although he was dressed in shabby clothes, if he was helping the family with work and had changed into old clothes, it would be reasonable.

"In that case, can the girl wait until I find a doctor to check it out?"

Yiman wiped the cold sweat from his palms on his clothes, and sneered, "Does the shopkeeper want to deceive me because I am young? Is this secret recipe still a secret recipe if someone else sees it?"

The shopkeeper laughed a few times in embarrassment.

If one more person knows this secret recipe, it will be worthless. Unexpectedly, this little girl is cautious.

"I don't know how much money the girl wants to pawn?"

"It's not much, 100 taels is enough. When the money comes to my account the day after tomorrow, my father and I will redeem it."

The shopkeeper tapped his fingers on the table, his expression tangled.

100 taels is not much for a secret recipe, but if you only deposit it for three days, there is really not much money to be made.

Seeing the shopkeeper's hesitation, he glanced outside the store door from the corner of his eye.

The clerk hesitated for a long time, thinking that he had never heard of a girl in that dying pharmacy, and was about to tell the shopkeeper his doubts.

Seeing that the waiter was about to speak, Yiman hurriedly spoke, stressing on the first word, "Now - those hateful Nanyang people are still blocking the pharmacy, the shopkeeper can add a few more cents. If it happens three days later If my father doesn't come to redeem me, the shopkeeper can go to the pharmacy to look for me. If the shopkeeper doesn't want to, I'll just go next door as soon as possible."

As soon as he heard that he was going to the next door, the shopkeeper became angry, and he turned his head and gave the clerk a gouging look. The clerk immediately lowered his head and said nothing.

"Don't worry, girl, I'll write you a deed right now."

A monk who can run away cannot run away from the temple. Anyway, the pharmacy is standing there. If there is any problem, just send the waiter to ask for it. It is better than letting the old man next door rob him.

Yiman nodded calmly, glanced at the clerk, and saw that he was about to approach the shopkeeper with nothing to do.

"Bring me a cup of tea."

The waiter responded, hesitated, and went to the back to make tea.

As long as one day, he can leave the city in one day. When the sky is high and the sea is wide, birds can fly, no matter how his adoptive parents deal with the wrangling.

After writing the deed, the shopkeeper checked it again and took out the money.

"This is 100 taels of silver, and the deed paper, please keep it, girl."

With cold hands, Yiman took the deed and put the 100 taels into his arms.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, I will keep the secret recipe. I will come to redeem it in the future. I will go home first."

"It's natural, girl, go slowly."

The shopkeeper handed Yiman out of the store.

Yiman walked a few steps quickly and looked back to see that the shopkeeper was no longer at the door.He breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he immediately changed direction and walked towards the nearest city gate.

Walking quickly to the intersection of the main street, I vaguely heard the sound of shouting and cursing in the distance, and Yiman was startled, as if feeling that the wounds on his body that had healed were aching.

Gritting his teeth, he raised his head and looked towards the city gate. He passed the morning market crowd without daring to turn his head, and walked faster and faster out of breath.

When he saw the gate of the city, he was already running fast. The pain and depression accumulated in his heart for decades seemed to be turned into fuel at this moment, making Yiman leave the city as quickly as possible.

After running out of the city gate, Yiman propped up his knees, breathed violently and looked back at the three words "Shunnan City" on the top of his head. Finally, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, not daring to stay, and went to go north.

Since he wanted to live the best life, he had to get back what belonged to him, his own identity, so he had to go to the capital.

Now it can be regarded as having a considerable amount of money, which is completely enough to support himself to the capital.

Yiman gradually became unable to walk. After years of hard work, his body had long been weak and his whole body ached badly.

When I looked up at the sun, it was already noon. I really didn’t drink a sip of water today.The road in front of me was shaking, and my legs and feet felt like they were filled with lead, not to mention the sweat on my forehead.

Yiman knocked on his numb thigh and saw a tea stall on the side of the road, where several escorts were drinking tea.

Touching the silver in his arms, he walked to the tea stall and sat down.

"Waiter, bring me a pot of tea and some dry food."

"Here, girl, this is tea. Do you want buns or steamed buns?"

Yiman swallowed, "Take three buns."

"okay."

After taking a sip of tea, my dry throat felt less stinging.Staring at the buns brought over by the waiter, he looked like a hungry wolf.

"It's ready, use it slowly."

An Lanjian who was on the side saw this tense Qingli girl, and couldn't help but take another look curiously.

"Eat your food."

The head of the escort glanced at An Lanjian with a warning look in his eyes.

When you go out, the most taboo thing is to meddle in other people's business.What's more, the word "sex" has a knife on its head.

After wolfing down two steamed buns with tea, Yiman's heart became less flustered.

From the corner of his eye, he saw a handsome escort at the next table looking at him from time to time. Yiman subconsciously touched the 100 taels of silver in his arms and became nervous.

Seeing the goods being pressed by the escort cart beside them, he put his hand down.

This is a bodyguard, not a bandit, so I am too nervous.

"Take dry food and hit the road—"

Five or six escorts left the tea stand and got on their horses.

After regaining consciousness, Yi Man looked at the sparse pedestrians on the official road. Most of them were men, or they were accompanied by horse-drawn carriages and servants.

I am a weak woman who can't even ride a horse. If I want to go to the capital with high mountains and far away on two legs, it is simply a dream.

Moreover, I have been confined to one or two places for many years and have no idea what the world is like outside.Even if you inquire about the route along the way, there is no guarantee that you will not encounter bandits or bandits.If you are killed because you are alone, or you are taken captive.
Yiman didn't dare to think any more. He looked up and saw that the five or six escorts were all wearing uniform blue clothes. They must be from a relatively large escort agency. The word "Zhengyuan" was printed on the back of the escort car. They must be from the escort agency. name.

I still have 100 taels of silver. If I can hire them to escort me to the capital, I think the risk will be less.

Yiman quickly swallowed the last bite of the bun, patted his chest, lifted up his skirt and chased after him, "Heroes, please stay -"

"You haven't paid the money yet——"

The little second brother shouted and chased after him.

Finally caught the attention of those mounted escorts.

Yiman frowned, hesitated, took out a piece of silver and handed it to the waiter, who stared at the ingot of silver.

"Girl, 20 taels, we can't find it, can you give me a copper coin?"

I only have the whole 100 taels on me, so I don't have any copper coins.

Yiman twisted himself secretly and looked up with tearful eyes at the escort who had just peeked at him, "Brother, can I lend you a few copper coins and exchange them for silver?"

Although An Lanjian can be considered to have traveled through the world, he is still a young and energetic young man.At this time, I couldn't bear to see the weak woman being blocked by others and asking for help.

While the escort leader was distracted, he got off his horse, walked to Yiman's side, put a few copper coins into his pocket, and put the 20 taels of silver into Yiman's hand.

"Okay, you two walk slowly."

Yiman quickly thanked him and glanced at the several escorts who were looking over him. He looked up and saw that the escort who paid him had a slightly red face. He knew that if this escort didn't have a good impression of him, he must be a chivalrous person who likes to draw a sword to help. , maybe you can use his power.

"Thank you so much for this brother. Is he an escort from Zhengyuan Escort Agency?"

"It's just a little effort, girl, what's the matter?"

Yiman lowered his eyes, and his voice was helpless, "The old grandmother in the family passed away, and I kept a filial piety for my grandmother. I want to go to the capital to join my uncle, but I am afraid that I will meet desperadoes on the way—if I go along the way, can you send me to the capital? If it doesn't go your way, you can take me a ride."

An Lanjian raised his hand, wanting to pat Man Man on the shoulder, but abiding by etiquette, he put down his hand and sighed.

Although it is said to be a peaceful and prosperous age, the hardships of the world are not contrary to this.It is too pitiful for such a weak girl to go to Beijing alone with no support.But I am not the owner of the Escort, nor the head of the Escort.

"Girl, wait a minute, I'm going to ask my master."

After saying that, he walked a few steps quickly and came to the front of the escort's horse. He raised his head and said something.

The head of the escort took a look this way and frowned, as if he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Yiman panicked, took out another 20 taels, and hurried over with tears in his eyes.

To take the initiative, you will never know until you try your best.

"Uncle Escort Chief, I am willing to pay 40 taels of silver as the escort fee, and I promise that I will not trouble everyone on the way. I am just walking alone, and I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful. If I encounter bandits and robbers, please help me."

The head of the escort was really in a dilemma, looking at the skinny little girl, he was really pitiful.He also looked at his silly apprentice looking at him earnestly, why didn't he know that this boy must be looking at the girl's beauty and beauty, and his heart has sprouted, after all, he is also here at this age.

Just taking in unknown people on the way to escort is not only breaking the rules, but also letting people know about it, how can they dare to cast escorts.It's more because I don't know how deep the girl in front of me is - people's hearts are unpredictable, so I have to be on guard.

The head of the bodyguard smiled and was about to refuse when a bodyguard named Xiao Wu rode over behind him.

"Boss, why don't you take this girl with you, you have to climb over the mountain and walk several sections of the official road ahead. She walks alone, and there are so many unmarked roads along the way, something will definitely happen."

After listening for a long time, there is indeed danger ahead, and he is suddenly worried, but he pretends not to understand.

"If it's inconvenient for Mr. Escort, you can let me walk behind the escort car. I won't talk to you along the way."

As long as they can follow the escort car, I don't believe they can sit idly by and ignore it. Even if the escort leader is ruthless, the escort who just rescued him will definitely feel bad.When the time comes, as long as you ask for help, others will think that you are in the same group with them, and there is no reason to be able to get away with it.
