After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

 Taking the Southeast Road into Beijing, from Liujiacun to Kaiyang County Official Road, you no longer take the direction of Zijinfu, but the opposite east road.

 After walking east for two days, we left Zijin Mansion and set foot on the border of Yuzhou.

As the saying goes, there are different villages within ten miles and different customs within a hundred miles. When you arrive in Yuzhou, even the mountain topography has completely changed.

 The flat fertile fields that are common in Zijingfu are no longer seen in Yuzhou.

When you look up, you are all densely vegetation forest scenes. The farmland exists in the valley. Every time there are a few mountains, you can see such a place. The paddy field cannot be connected into a piece, and it is staggered in various seams.

 Such natural geographical conditions have led to most of the local people in Yuzhou being engaged in business. Otherwise, they would not be able to feed a large family just by relying on the harvest from the cracked fields.

Therefore, although there is not much fertile farmland in Yuzhou, because everyone is doing business, the cities and towns here are more prosperous than Zijin Mansion.

The spacious official road and the tea stalls that can be seen every five or ten miles along the road brought a great sense of freshness to Qin Yao and his party.

 Coupled with the good weather and clear skies for several days, the trip to the main city of Yuzhou was a day and a half faster than expected.

 What can you do with the extra time?

Of course I want to stay in this bustling main city and experience the local food!

Qin Yao, who was riding ahead, could see the tall city gate built between two mountains in front of her when she raised her head.

 Under the city gate, there are long lines of caravans preparing to enter the city, as well as ordinary people from the surrounding areas who enter the city to do business.

The people here have been doing business with their families since they were young, and no one is idle. Even those who hang out under the city gate are brokers looking for business opportunities.

With a quick glance at Qin Yao and his entourage, the broker knew that they were from out of town.

However, most of the trips in the past were business trips, and most of them were men or adult women.

It is not common for a family like Qin Yao's to have both a woman and a child.

A broker came over tentatively, raised his head and asked Liu Ji, who was riding a horse next to Qin Yao, "Is this gentleman here to visit relatives?"

  Most of them are men when they go out, so the broker naturally inquires about Liu Ji, the only adult male in the team.

Seeing the four little heads of the Dalang brother and sister emerging from the carriage, they quite admired the courage of this handsome man in front of him, who dared to take such a big family on a long trip alone.

This car contains either children or young women, and they are not afraid of being targeted by gangsters.

Little did he know that the strength of the woman on horseback beside him could protect the whole family safely.

 If bad guys dare to come, we don’t know who is guilty and who is innocent.

Liu Ji glanced at his wife with a guilty conscience. Seeing that she did not look unhappy, he lowered his head and answered the broker:

“I am going to the capital to visit my relatives, and I plan to rest in the city for one night. By the way, I will take a look around the main city of Yuzhou while it is still early.”

Hearing this, the broker immediately showed a bright smile, took a step back, clasped his fists and announced his name:

"Young Zhou Meng has grown up in this city since he was a child. He understands everything in the city very well. If I don't mind it, can I take you and your family into the city to enjoy it?"

 Said, smiled apologetically, stretched out **** and rubbed them up and down, "If you have fun, master, you only need to reward the little one."

“You still don’t know what to call me?” Zhou Meng asked politely, his smile was very friendly, and he had a good face, which made it easier for him to eat this bowl of broker’s rice.

 When most people come to a strange place for the first time, it is difficult to refuse when they meet a local who seems to be a good person and treats them warmly. Liu Ji was very moved and told Zhou Meng his name and explained that the person next to him was his wife.

 Then he suppressed his excitement and asked, "What do you think, madam?"

Qin Yao glanced at the people in front of them, her eyes were sinister but innocent, she just wanted to make a little money from them.

 It is also good to have a local person to lead the way.

Qin Yao nodded and said to Zhou Meng: "First take us to a spacious and clean inn, and then tell us about the rules of the city and point out one or two places that the locals find interesting. Let’s go have fun.”

 After saying that, he turned around and winked at Yin Le. Yin Le took out half a tael of silver from his purse and said, "Go on!"

Seeing Zhou Meng looking over, he threw the silver to him casually. The silver piece fell into his arms without any bias.

Zhou Meng was obviously startled. His surprised eyes swept from Yin Le to Qin Yao, who he had not even looked at just now.

The woman was riding on a tall horse, looking down at him with slightly lowered eyes. She was dressed neatly and neatly, with a dagger on her waist. Who woman would carry a knife when going out? This lady is actually a martial arts practitioner!

Zhou Meng rolled his eyes, and while putting away the money, he raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation to Qin Yao.

 Next, I would only explain all situations to Qin Yao, and only occasionally ask Liu Ji.

Liu Ji took it for granted and was happy to be free. He just took good care of the children who did not understand the foreign accent and acted as their translator.

They had to dismount for inspection before entering the city. Liu Ji drove the children out of the carriage and handed his horse to Zhou Meng. He held the two children with one hand and followed Qin Yao to check the route and successfully entered the city.

 You only need to pay one fee to drive into the city and ride a horse.

After entering the city gate, Zhou Meng warned: "Madam, no horses are allowed in the city."

Qin Yao nodded to show that she knew, and the group of people led their horses and followed Zhou Meng to a two-story inn.

Zhou Meng explained: "Although this inn is in an alley, you can reach the main street after exiting the alley. It is quiet in the bustle. The place is small, but the price is affordable. You can order food and eat in the lobby. So The fish meat cooked by the chef is excellent. Madam, sir, you can order one to try for only two taels of silver."

 Only? Yin Le and Erlang looked at each other, the prices in the main city of Yuzhou are too high!

Zhou Meng also secretly observed the reactions of the guests. He saw that the family was neatly and cleanly dressed, and Mr. Liu also wore a satin undershirt, which showed that the family had a lot of wealth.

  But none of the family wears any expensive accessories, so they think they are more frugal in daily life.

 That’s why I brought the guests to this inn on the main street, which was a bit lower than the big restaurants in the city. I recommended a small and expensive fish dumpling to test it out, so that I could continue to introduce the guests to places to visit that met their requirements.

As expected, Mrs. Liu’s expression remained unchanged and she showed some interest. Mr. Liu even said bluntly: “San Lang and Si Niang, let’s try the fish from Yuzhou later!”

The twin chicks nodded repeatedly as if they were pecking at rice. It was lunch time, and their little bellies were already impatient. But the rules are rules, don't shout outside. I had no choice but to open my bright eyes and secretly clenched my fists happily with my dad who was also looking forward to it.

The children's cute reaction made Qin Yao smile, motioning to Zhou Meng to lead the way, and led the family into the inn called Ping'an.

It is convenient to pay someone to hire someone, and Zhou Meng will handle all the check-in procedures on your behalf.

Yin Le was worried, so he told his master, then went to the backyard and chose two spacious rooms next to each other.

The women moved into one room and the men moved into the other. They put all the luggage in the car into the guest room and then returned to the front lobby feeling relaxed. (End of chapter)
