After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 638 Nanlou Pass

Qin Yao looked at the happy people and finally realized what the sour emotion in her heart was.

It was the instinctive feeling of closeness generated by blood connection, which prompted her to get closer to another person with the same blood.

But since they are brothers and sisters, they must settle the score clearly.

Qin Yao coughed twice, bringing the happy Qin Feng back to reality from his fantasy, and asked him how much money he spent on taking care of Bai He's men last night.

Qin Feng said displeased: "What my brothers and sisters say and do is all trivial."

Qin Yao took out the banknotes she had prepared from her arms and said calmly: "Brothers and sisters must settle accounts clearly."

Seeing how serious she was, Qin Feng lamented, "Okay, I'll ask Uncle Qi."

After a while, he came back and told her angrily: "We paid a total of two hundred taels of silver."

Qin Yao took two notes with a face value of one hundred taels and handed them to him with satisfaction, and smiled.

Qin Feng had a dark face and did not accept the money ticket directly. He made a condition, "If you accept the gold hairpin, I will take your money ticket."

"Besides, the arrangement yesterday was not all for your sake. I also chose to spend money to eliminate disasters so that the caravan would be less troublesome. Let's do half and half."

Seeing Qin Yao narrowing her eyes dangerously, Qin Feng was not afraid. Maybe he was sure that she would kill her husband but not her brother. He felt confident inexplicably and continued to talk to her.

"If we really settle the accounts according to what you said, we have to settle the accounts from Wild Cat Village. Although I paid for all the food, food and accommodation along the way, you, Awang, and Miss Yin Le also helped the team a lot. Busy, you saved my life in the Taoist temple that day, so I still have to give you some money."

"My boss Qin's life is worth several thousand taels of silver, right? Even if it's five thousand taels, if five thousand is minus one hundred, then do I still have to ask you for 4,900 taels?"

Qin Feng's algorithm made Liu Ji's eyes light up. He gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised: "Brother, what a good algorithm!"

As soon as the words came out, the brother and sister yelled at him: "Shut up!"

Liu Ji: "."

So fierce! Can't afford to offend.

He quickly called the four children and fled in the name of inspection, so as not to get involved by the brother and sister and become their unified point of view.

As soon as Liu Ji left, the brother and sister started to stare at each other again, which made Qin Yao's eyes sore and Qin Feng's eyes filled with tears. The two of them took a step back and reached a consensus.

Qin Yao: "Take the money."

Qin Feng: "Okay, you can also accept the hairpin."

Qin Yao: "That's it!" Quan thought he would spend two hundred taels of silver to buy a gold hairpin.

The brother and sister handed over the money and delivered the goods. Qin Feng made a small request, "My family is not short of money. I will buy you a nice and handsome outfit. You are a bit shabby. I feel sorry for you."

"What did you say? Who's complaining?" Qin Yao's voice increased.

Qin Feng: "I'm sorry, but you think I didn't say that."

He raised his hand to sew his mouth shut and stepped out of the way decisively.

He was sure that she wouldn't kill him, but he couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't beat him, so it was better to take the next step.

When he reached the stairs, he stuck his head out and asked Qin Yao weakly in the lobby: "Why don't you call me brother today?" He also prepared a red envelope for her to change her mouth.

She turned back, her eyes full of murderous intent. Qin Feng immediately retracted his head and chose to give up. Forget it, she still needs time. If you give her more time, she will definitely call her brother in the future.

In the evening, the heavy rain stopped and the dark clouds receded from the sky. Qin Yao and Qin Feng decided to dry out the accumulated water on the road tomorrow morning and continue setting off after lunch.

Fortunately, although it was cloudy and not sunny the next morning, the rain had completely stopped.

At noon, after having a simple lunch, the two families set off again.

The road was muddy, but fortunately it was wide and not particularly difficult to walk on. Even if the carriage occasionally got stuck in the mud, with Qin Yao, a strong man, the carriage could be rescued from the predicament in a few minutes, and the carriage went fairly fast along the way.

We rested in a small town at night and walked north for a whole day the next day, leaving the state boundary of Qingzhou.

Standing on a high place and looking into the distance, one can already see the outline of Nanlou Pass, which is the only pass to enter Beijing.

Qin Feng said: "We'll have another day's walking tomorrow. If the weather clears up, we'll be able to reach the South Tower Pass in the evening if we go faster. If we're lucky, we can enter before the pass closes, and we can rest at the Jiuquan Inn over there."

"Two hours further from Nanlou Pass, you will reach Kyoto."

The children looked at their parents happily. Qin Yao and Liu Ji looked at each other, and their hearts were full of excitement.

Liu Ji calculated the time in his mind. It had taken fifteen days since he set off from home.
There are still two days' journey from the capital, which adds up to seventeen days, which is only two days later than Liu Fei's arrival by boat.

"I wonder how the teacher is doing now?" While sleeping in the woods at night, while making dinner, Liu Ji suddenly muttered.

The authorities are confused, but bystanders are clear. Qin Yao recalled Bai He's state when she saw him before, and rationally analyzed: "There should be nothing serious, otherwise Bai He's mood would not be so stable when he saw you and me."

The implication is that the person must still be alive.

And now the closer we are to the capital, the more news there is about the capital. The most talked about topic among the merchants coming from the north in the inn is the gossip news about the imperial preceptor and the eldest princess, and not about the Confucian scholars and great Confucian scholars. , Gongliangxiao and other related gossip.

Liu Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He believed his wife. If she said it was okay, it must be okay.

but
"What's wrong with the eldest princess and the imperial master?" Liu Ji approached curiously with a spoon in hand, his spirit of gossip burning.

Qin Yao felt that there was some gossip. Liu Ji didn't know that it could make him live longer, so she glared at him and said, "I'll cook for you. Do you and I, ordinary people, dare to talk about these noble people?"

Liu Ji returned to the pot angrily and muttered: "There are no outsiders here, tell me what's wrong."

Qin Yao pulled her face, and Liu Ji, who was worried that he would be beaten for the first time in front of his uncle, finally calmed down.

The night was uneventful, and at dawn the next day, everyone rushed towards Nanlou Pass, even at noon, just to successfully enter the pass before evening.

The children were so excited that their buttocks were about to be broken into three parts without complaining. The group hurried slowly and finally arrived at Nanlou Pass at Shenshi.

Qin Yao's family of eight passed the customs very quickly. The only problem was Qin Yao's weapon. After explaining the source, because of Qin Feng's management, they were not embarrassed and were allowed to pass smoothly.

But in fact, for Qin Yao, what she is most worried about at this level is not her weapons, but Awang's identity.

Fortunately, the guards did not check the servants' status as servants, and Awang passed smoothly.

In comparison, the caravan was much more troublesome. Qin Feng sent one of his men to go into the city with Qin Yao's family to arrange accommodation. He stayed behind and waited for the caravan to complete the process before meeting them at the inn.

It is worth mentioning that the guard at the gate of the South Tower was a tall and strong woman. When he saw Qin Yao carrying a weapon, he personally came downstairs and walked around, and even looked at Qin Yao twice.

With that look in his eyes, Liu Ji always felt that the guard wanted to snatch his wife away at any time.

Even before he entered the capital, he already had a premonition of how popular his wife would be.
