Chapter 189

After Xu Lingyue woke up, she hurried to Song's house. Of course, she didn't see the person she wanted to see, so disappointment was inevitable.

Compared with yesterday, the Song family has not changed much, except that the corpse is gone, and the ground is not even cleaned.

She took a broom and swept the ground, and finally went back disappointed.

Day after day, the first thing Xu Lingyue did when he woke up was to go to Song's house to see if anyone was back.

Half a month passed like this, and she still didn't find the person she was waiting for.

The rest of the Xu family were also afraid that she would be sad, so they acquiesced that no one had mentioned this matter again.

At this time, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go to the capital to ask.

She thought that she could learn the truth she wanted from the jade pendant's master.

When Mrs. Wu heard the news that she was going to the capital, she disagreed, looked at her solemnly and asked, "Baby, do you really want to go this trip?"

"Aniang, there is no doubt that I will go on this trip." Xu Lingyue said quite firmly.

Wu's face was full of worry, disapproval was revealed in his eyes, and he said worriedly: "You are a girl from a family, and the capital is so far away from here, how can Auntie feel at ease."

Why did she have to be so stubborn? If she had known today, she should not have agreed to this marriage.

Although Song Mu is a good boy, his life and death are unknown now.

Thinking of this, Wu Shi sighed again.

Xu Lingyue gave her a reassuring look, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Ma'am, I will take care of myself."

But how can Mrs. Wu feel relieved? Where is the capital city? It is at the foot of the emperor, where the rich and powerful gather. She has no power and no power. If she is bullied, what should she do? Shi most worried about.

"Why don't you let your elder brother and sister-in-law go with you, or let your mother go with you."

"No." Xu Lingyue flatly refused.

Unable to resist her persistence, Wu finally had no choice but to agree cruelly.

Talking about walking, Xu Lingyue said goodbye to her family after packing up her things and embarked on the journey to the capital.

Before leaving, she went to Xiuyun Pavilion and took the share of this month before leaving. Instead of driving directly, she rented one, and she could rent it again when she arrived at the next location. The most important thing is Because the rented carriage is equipped with a driver, it is more convenient, and it doesn't cost a lot of money even if it is bought.

Naturally, the most important thing is the map. She spent a lot of money to buy a very detailed and easy-to-understand map.

rental office

After receiving the money, the coachman asked with a smile, "Where are you going, Miss?"

"Qingyuan County." She glanced at the map and said calmly.

The map shows that Qingyuan County is the first stop on the way to the capital. Unlike Tangxi Town, the area is twice as large.

Although Tangxi Town is not too remote, it is far from the capital.

The coachman asked again: "Okay, girl, do you want to start now?"

This time she nodded.

Not long after Xu Lingyue got into the carriage, the carriage began to move slowly.

It would take about a day to drive to Qingyuan County by horse-drawn carriage, so she bought some food for fear that she would be hungry on the way.

It's noon now, if you keep going forward without stopping, you will arrive in the middle of the night.

But the night road was not safe after all. When it was getting dark, she felt that going to Bainiao Town, like Tangxi Town, was a small town under the jurisdiction of Qingyuan County.

It was almost dark when they entered the town, and the coachman naturally has a place to live, from small towns to large cities, chances are that there are places for renting carriages in every place. Naturally, this is set by His Majesty, so everyone The points are all interoperable, and the people in charge are naturally with official positions. They are set up as horse houses, and the official positions are called walking horse officials. They are in charge of horse breeding and leasing.

Although the official position is not big, it is an official anyway.

The reason for the establishment of the horse house is that it is convenient for the people to travel, and it is precisely because it is a court hall, so the price is naturally beneficial to the people. If it is too expensive, how can ordinary people afford to rent it.

Needless to say, Xu Lingyue felt that this emperor was particularly prescient and dared to think of things that others dare not think of. That's right, this horse house was established after the current Majesty ascended the throne.

However, there is no one who took this name, Ma Suo?Go on horseback?That sounds kind of funny.

The coachman had a place to stay, but she didn't, so she had to find an inn to stay.

The next day, when the coachman came to pick her up, she was still in a state of sleepy eyes. It could be seen that her eyes were swollen, and her eyes were black and blue.

Well, she is going to give this inn a bad review, the sound insulation is really bad.

The unbearable noise from the next door didn't stop until the middle of the night.

She could even hear what they were saying clearly, and because of this, she almost stayed up all night, and whenever she was about to fall asleep, that weird cry sounded.

Get on the carriage and continue to Qingyuan County.

Xu Lingyue was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, she fell asleep directly, and when the time came, it was the coachman who woke her up.

"Wake up, girl, Qingyuan County is here."

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and got out of the carriage in a daze.

After the carriage left, she remembered one thing, that is, she could go directly to the capital, why did she say to stop in Qingyuan County?

However, the carriage had gone far away, Xu Lingyue sighed helplessly looking at the back of the carriage, and kept complaining about her stupidity in her heart.

She said to herself: "That's all, since everyone is here, let's rest for a night first."

Of course, the main reason was that she hadn't woken up, so naturally she didn't have much energy. She couldn't bear the bumps of the carriage.

"Shopkeeper, come to a room." She found a random inn and prepared to book a room.

The shopkeeper said with an apologetic expression: "I'm really sorry, this guest officer, but the shop is full."

In desperation, Xu Lingyue prepared to go to the next inn.

However, after going around a few inns, she was told that they were full of customers. Only then did she finally realize that something was wrong, and she couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper, what's the big deal these days, why did I go to several inns? Did you say it was full?"

"Isn't the girl from another place?"

"In two days, it will be the annual Qixi Festival. Every year at this time, there will be a lantern festival, and there will be many famous people from other places, so this room is just..."

After hearing this explanation, Xu Lingyue finally understood.

Really, she came at the wrong time.

Then, she asked: "Does the shopkeeper know which inn is vacant in this county?"

"Well, as far as this old man knows, almost all the inns, large and small, are fully booked."

"However, there may still be vacant rooms in the Qingyue Building. You can try your luck there. It's just that there are mixed fish and dragons there, and the cost is high. If you really want to go, you have to be careful." The shopkeeper said after thinking about it. .
