Chapter 66 Follow the Caravan Capital
They spent so much time avoiding a lot of towns along the way. Now it’s almost snowing time. If they take a long detour, they may not be able to pass Xijing before the snow falls, let alone take the waterway. At that time, the waterway will freeze and the mountains will be closed by heavy snow, so it will be difficult for them to move forward.

Thinking about it this way, Wei Dazhi became more and more anxious, thinking that he would not be so unlucky!
Tangning looked at Du Chunyue, who was the only one in the team who had a guide, and pondered, "Why don't we try to go to the city again?"

Just as Du Chunyue was about to speak, Lu Dazhuang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said weakly: "Actually, there is another way, as long as you have money, you can go in with the caravan. Everyone doesn't need to check the caravan into the city, unless you go to Xijing."

"How do you know?" Everyone stared at Lu Dazhuang with wide eyes.

Lu Dazhuang swallowed his saliva violently, and sneered twice, "When I was in the capital city of Huizhou, I saw many people entering the city like this, but I have no money, so I can only find a way to get in."

Tangning gave him a thumbs up and said, "I'll go ask if there is any caravan willing to take us."

"This money." Before Tang Junsheng finished speaking, Tangning had already run away.

Luolin County is indeed the closest county to Xijing. There are a lot of caravans coming and going, big and small. Naturally, what Tangning is looking for is a big caravan. The big caravan is backed by a big family. These people from the government Knowing how to look at people the most, he will definitely not be embarrassed, but it is necessary to bleed a little more.

But I don't want the child to be tied to the wolf, and I can't do without the money.

She stopped on the side of the official road for half an hour before she set her sights on a large caravan. There were about seventy or eighty people in this caravan. There were horse-drawn carts in the front and donkey carts and mule carts in the back. She couldn't see what it was, but there were some flags tied in front of the caravan, which seemed to be the symbol of a certain family, but pedestrians consciously avoided wherever they passed.

Of course, there is the final point. There are several people behind the caravan who obviously spent money to follow them into the city. Since someone has set a precedent, as long as she spends more money, it is likely to be successful.

Thinking about it this way, Tangning ran directly to the carriage in front of the convoy, and was stopped when she approached. She was not afraid, so she took out a tael of silver and said loudly, "My lord, we want to go to the city, can we Take us with you."

The coachman said a few words into the carriage, and someone immediately opened a gap, saw the one tael of silver in Tangning's hand, ordered the coachman to slow down, and asked unhurriedly, "How many people?"

"Two donkey carts and two carts, adults and children, a total of fifteen people." Tangning said while wagging her fingers.

The other party frowned, "So much! Three taels of silver."

Tangning gasped, thinking that this man was really dark, but she didn't refuse, instead obediently took out three taels of silver and respectfully handed it over, and gave a few soft jujube kiwi fruits to keep it sweet.

The other party's tone obviously softened a lot when he saw her being so upbeat.

Tangning also hurried over to greet her family. A group of people followed the caravan and approached the city gate nervously. The expected interrogation did not happen, and the caravan drove straight in without stopping.

Tang Junsheng couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "My dear, what is the identity of the owner of this caravan, there is no need to interrogate him!"

The porter who was walking in front of him turned his head and smiled triumphantly after hearing the words: "We are the caravan of the Third Prince, and the leader of the team in front of him is a big celebrity in front of the Third Prince."

Hearing the third prince, everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath.

After entering the city, Tang Ning and the others were about to withdraw, when a servant in front suddenly ran up to Tang Ning, panting, and asked, "Girl, my master asked you if you still have the kind of fruit just now, we can pay for it. "

Tangning lowered her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and she raised her head again with obvious embarrassment, "Yes, there are, but these fruits are our food."

The servant was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Money is not a problem, so how much do you have?"

Tangning innocently lifted the pannier on her back, and pulled out a basket from the cart she pushed, "That's all. The ones I carried are familiar and sweeter. This basket is still hard. Let it go, it will be sweet when it softens."

The young servant's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "Miss offers a price, and we will cover it all."

"This..." Tangning made it even more difficult, "I don't know, we are food."

The boy immediately ran back to report to the steward, came back after a while, panted and said: "Girl, we have told the steward, how about buying it for you at the price of thirty yuan a catty?"

Thirty Wen a catty is almost the price of food in Xijing.

Tangning exchanged glances with her family, and reluctantly nodded in agreement under everyone's silent urging. They didn't say anything, but there were two baskets of soft jujube kiwifruit in the caravan, a total of more than catties, and Tangning wiped off the odds.

Seeing that she was so forthright, the other party simply gave her one, two or three cents.

With just one change of hands, almost half of the three liang of silver she spent was returned, and she was not in a hurry for the remaining half, as long as she stayed in the city, she would not worry about having no chance to make money.

After parting ways with the caravan, Tangning gave Lu Dazhuang and Tang Zheng a mission to inquire about the whereabouts of other refugees, and by the way, inquire about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River and how to get there as quickly as possible. The others found a smaller one. Stay overnight at the inn.

Everything is expensive these days, but staying in top-notch hotels has not increased much. A group of them directly asked for two low-end Chase shops. They can still live in if everyone squeezes together. It’s also cheap. One person only costs two per night money.

The environment in Datong shop is really not that good. The two rows on the left and right are straw mats, one side can sleep ten people, and this room can accommodate twenty people. The store only provides one mat, one pillow and a bedding to keep out the cold , Nothing else, if you want to take a bath, you have to pay extra. To go to the bathhouse, you pay two cents per person. If you want to eat, you have to pay extra. The specific amount depends on how the guest orders.

After everyone understood, they all silently took out their dry food, not even daring to ask for a sip of hot water, for fear of asking for money.

After a few breaths of silence, Jiang said bitterly, "At least there is a tile covering the top of the head now, so we don't need to eat and sleep in the open, right? Our house didn't have tiles before!"

Mrs. Li nodded, didn't think about anything, and fell asleep, "Hurry up and rest, we will be on our way again when Ah Zheng and Da Zhuang get the news."

Jiang nodded and lay down.

Du Chunyue wondered: "Auntie, I still want to sell herbs."

During this period of time, she picked some herbal medicines one after another, but she couldn't sell them. Now that she finally entered the city, she didn't know if it would be damaged if she didn't sell it. It's just that the outside is not peaceful, and after so many things, she didn't dare to act rashly alone. go out.
