Chapter 12 Fever
On the day of departure, many people in the village came to see him off. They all knew that Cheng Dashan had become an official, and they brought all the relatives of the Li family into the city to enjoy the blessings. It's also good, even Cheng Hunzi can be an official, and they may become prosperous someday.Among the people seeing him off, Amu with red and swollen eyes was very eye-catching. He followed the carriage and wanted to come up but dared not. Yinhua glanced at him from a distance, waved to him, and he ran over immediately.

Seeing him passing by, the other children also ran over, trying to touch the horse in the trailer under the guise of seeing him off.Only Amu didn't care about Da Ma at all, just pouted and looked at Yinhua, wanting to say something but couldn't say it.

"Amu, study hard, come to the capital in the future, I will treat you to dinner." Yinhua said very proudly.

Zhuhua smiled and nodded: "Brother Amu, you must study hard so that you can become an official in the future."

Amu nodded, looking at Yinhua reluctantly.He remembered that when he was a child, his mother told him that when he grew up, he would marry Yinhua as his daughter-in-law, and Yinhua's younger sister would become his younger sister. After that, he no longer called Yinhua "Sister Ayin".But before he grew up, his wife went to the capital. I heard that the capital is far away. Can he see her again?When the carriage set off, he held back his tears and looked at Yinhua, who waved to him and got into the carriage.

It was the first time for her to ride in a carriage, and Zhuhua raised the curtain and kept shouting at Amu, "Study well~"

She remembered that the Kang Dynasty was about to implement the imperial examination system, and if Amu studied hard, he might really come to the capital as an official.It's a pity that I can't witness the birth of a champion by my side, Zhuhua thinks while lying on the window, watching the people seeing off are getting smaller and smaller in sight.She retracted her gaze and looked at the field where the carriage passed. There was a long way from the village to the town. She remembered hearing Mrs. Sun say that it would take nearly an hour to walk, and there were farmland and other villages on both sides of the road.When she passed through these farmlands before, she still thought that when she grew up, she would try to make money and buy a piece of land to be an owner. She also thought about enclosing the mountains to plant fruit trees and raise chickens, but these could not be realized. She wanted to enter with her family. It's Beijing.

She would rather be an ordinary peasant girl than being a lady of everyone.Even if Cheng Dashan will not be affected by the court turmoil in the future, there is no guarantee that the family she will marry in the future will not. She can still recruit a son-in-law as a farmer's daughter, but she may not be able to become a young lady.Also, the Sun family only gave birth to three daughters and no sons. What if the father takes concubines and has children in the future?She felt a headache when the house became messy in the future.

"Woo..." Xiaohua, who had been lying at her feet, called out to her.

When they went to Beijing this time, the whole family insisted on bringing Xiaohua with them, and Cheng Dashan obeyed their words, which made Zhuhua always feel that his attitude was too obsequious as if there was some kind of conspiracy.She really wronged him for thinking so, Cheng Dashan just felt guilty for leaving his wife and children for so many years, and wanted to treat them better in a different way.

When Zhuhua heard Xiaohua's voice, she obediently sat down in her seat.After a long and long journey, she fell asleep after walking for an unknown amount of time.When she woke up again, a very bitter medicine was poured into her mouth, and she saw the worried faces of her mother and sister in a daze, and a strange voice said that she was thinking too much... When she heard these words, I heard a singing voice from the theater in my head, "It's because I think too much, you always say that..."

She smiled helplessly, and immediately fell asleep again.

Maybe it was because of an illness on the way, in her impression, the capital, which should be far away, arrived soon.She counted the days on her fingers, as if she had only traveled ten days this way.The day before entering Beijing, a group of people, including Zhuhua who had recovered from illness, went to Daxing Mansion where they stayed temporarily to buy clothes.

"I don't know what you like to wear. There are a lot of good materials in the house, but there are no ready-made clothes. You can buy a few clothes today. If you can't choose a good one, you can buy one. The rest will come Buy it in the capital or let the mansion rush to work."

The clothes on Mrs. Sun's body were old and whitish, and even the three little ones were wearing old clothes, but those were the rare clothes they hadn't been patched.Cheng Dashan didn't think anything at all, but his wife and daughter were like this in his impression. It wasn't until he was about to enter the city that Qin San reminded him that it was not good for his wife and them to enter the city like this, so he hurriedly took them to buy clothes.Sun originally wanted to go to Beijing to do it again, but Qin San reminded her, so she reluctantly went to the tailor shop.

Xiao Er saw two couples coming in with three children, except for Cheng Dashan who was dressed decently, and everyone else was wearing old clothes, so he looked down upon them.It's just that Cheng Dashan has a wicked face, he didn't dare to offend them, so he led them to the area where ordinary materials were placed, and said politely:
"Everyone choose slowly, and those who are selected will be paid at the counter."

Everyone nodded, and picked up after Xiao Er walked away.Even ordinary materials are better than those on them. Sun also thinks these ordinary materials are attractive and strong. Just as she was about to pick a few, Qin San coughed and stepped forward to pat the counter.

"Take out all the ready-made clothes made of good materials in your family. Where can my wife wear these materials?"

Mrs. Sun and the others who were happily picking out couldn't help but stop, and put down the clothes they had just picked out pretending to be disdainful when Xiaoer looked over.

"What kind of material do you guys want?" Xiao Er asked nicely.

"It's the same as our master's. If there is a better one, I'll bring it up." Qin Santoe said proudly.

"Yes, yes, I'll get it now, little one." Xiao Er didn't dare to neglect, let another person in the store watch, and went into the back hall.

"Madam, sit down quickly." Qin San graciously asked Sun to sit on the chairs prepared for customers in the store, and whispered in her ear: "Madam, I think the wives of big families in the city always sit when they pick things up." Others brought things over and picked them.”

Mrs. Sun nodded, but felt that the child was clever. Seeing Aunt Li and Uncle Li standing aside awkwardly, she tugged on Aunt Li's sleeve and said, "Cousin, you sit too."

Aunt Li waved her hands repeatedly, and just as Sun Shi was about to persuade her, Xiao Er came out with a tray.She could only sit on the shelf, and Xiao Er would pick up the new clothes and show them to her.Zhuhua stood silently at the side, secretly hated herself for not reminding her in advance, she had watched those costume dramas for nothing, when she was picking out clothes, she felt that something was wrong, unexpectedly, a man noticed it first.

Hearing the commotion outside, the shopkeeper also came out. After apologizing, he ordered someone to serve tea and refreshments, and personally introduced the materials and styles of the clothes served.Mrs. Sun and the younger ones were fascinated by what they heard, but Cheng Dashan found it very boring. He glanced outside and happened to see an acquaintance passing by and couldn't help but call out to him.

"Hong Qing, why are you here, kid?"

"Brother Cheng?" Hong Qing stopped and cupped his hands in surprise, and said with a smile, "It's time to call you General Cheng. Why is the General here?"

"Come to pick up my wife and daughter to go to Beijing, and buy some clothes while I'm free." He pouted while talking.

Hong Qing bowed to Mrs. Sun, and Mrs. Sun nodded back. Seeing that Cheng Dashan didn't introduce him, he didn't ask any more questions, and continued to listen to the shopkeeper's introduction of clothes.Hong Qing took a look at Mrs. Sun, and asked Cheng Dashan in a low voice: "The general really wants to take his wife to Beijing?"

"Everyone is here, can there be fake ones?"

"Didn't the general hear that several generals' wives were not taken to Beijing, but placed in Daqing Mansion." Hong Qing reminded.

"You won't throw your wife here too, will you?" Cheng Dashan looked at this honest man.

"My daughter-in-law has already run away." Hong Qing waved his hand and said in a low voice, "I just run errands for others. If the general wants to do that, I can help you buy a house here right away for your wife to settle down. There are rules in the capital." , Maybe Madam is not used to staying here, why not let her live a happy life here, and you can hire a well-educated concubine to help you take care of the general's mansion. Now there are many high-ranking officials in the capital who want to get along with the new emperor The relationship between the general and the emperor is close, if you want to recruit new people, there must be someone rushing to carry them to your residence."

"No, no, my wife is fine." Cheng Dashan said with a silly smile.

"General, it's not so easy to manage the favors and servants in this mansion, even if Madam is gone." Hong Qing continued to persuade.

"It's okay. When the emperor gave me the house, he assigned a housekeeper. There is a housekeeper for everything." Cheng Dashan said indifferently.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Hong Qing didn't force him, chatted a few more words and left.Cheng Dashan waited for him to go far away, and spat on the ground with disdain. When he turned his head, he saw Zhuhua staring at him through the door.I don't know if the styles introduced in it were popular when she was growing up, and Zhuhua couldn't bear to listen to them, so she ran over to listen to the corner.

Cheng Dashan didn't know how much she had listened to, but luckily he didn't say anything bad, he smiled and waved at Zhuhua, but Zhuhua ignored him, turned his head and ran back to Sun's side.Cheng Dashan looked at her sick and thin face, and felt that this little girl's thoughts were not easy to coax.
