Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 145 Traveling with the family

On the second day of the first lunar month, Ning Qingran took his family out to play.

Although there are no modern scenic spots, the walking and stopping along the way has a unique flavor. The farthest place my grandparents have ever gone to in their lives is the town, and the Song Wang family is almost the same.

Not to mention Wang Shengwei. Before last year, he was still on his sick bed and could not go anywhere. The farthest was from Wang Village to Beiguan Village where Song Chen lived. Except for the two labor days arranged by Song Chen every month, the other When he was young, he would stay in his room and do some learning.

When I walked out, I instantly felt that my horizons had broadened a lot.

They used two carriages for this trip, one was Song Chen's carriage, and the other was borrowed by Song Chen from Cang Xiuxuan.

The two brothers from Conghai, Song Chen and Song He Wang Shengwei were driving the carriage in a carriage. Qiu An was waiting in this carriage and Wenping was waiting in the carriage in front.

There are four left at home to guard the house.

The four people sent over by Cang Xiuxuan have become Song Chen's right-hand assistants, and many things cannot be done without them.

Only by handing over the family to them could Song Chen and the others dare to go out with peace of mind, especially Song Wang. If Yan Yun hadn't been left at home, she would have been worried about the family's money all the time.

But with them here, the Song family is all at ease.

Along the way, Song Chen took them to see mountains, rivers, and the lives of people in other places. They looked for scenery during the day and stayed at inns at night.

Everywhere they went, the owner of the inn where they stayed would always look at them curiously.

They looked like a family, but they were still outside during the Chinese New Year, and there was no trace of anxiety on their faces, which was very strange.

Every time Song Chen stayed at the hotel, he would choose the most comfortable Tianzi room for everyone, without exception.

When you go out, play and have fun.

It's just that they don't have much time this time, only four days before and after, so Song Chen's destination is Shangjing. No one in her family has been to Shangjing, including herself. They stopped and stopped along the way like they did. It’s just the right time to stay one night and then rush back.

It is less than [-] miles from Beiguan Village to Shangjing. Two hundred miles seems not far, but in this era, this distance is enough to stop many people.

Before entering Shangjing, you need to show a road guide at the city gate. Shangjing is not allowed to enter without any reason in the first month of the year. Before Song Chen set off, he asked Lin Maofeng to help her get a road guide for visiting relatives.

Before entering the city gate, the Song family on the carriage saw the guards with swords at the city gate, and they all clenched their fists nervously.

The scenery outside the carriage seemed not to be pretty.

Song Chen only felt a little funny when he saw them like this. Fortunately, they entered the city openly. If they had done anything illegal, their nervousness would betray them immediately.

It was their turn for the carriage to enter the city. They were led out of the sea and handed over to the guards, "Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen. I'll treat you to a pot of hot wine for the Chinese New Year brothers."

Along with Lu Yin, there was a small banknote handed out.

The guard responsible for checking them smiled and casually checked the road signs before returning them to them, "Let's go into the city."

"Thank you, sir."

Cong Hai smiled and thanked him.

All this money was given to him by Song Chen before. Entering the capital was more troublesome than other places. These guards who were still on duty during the New Year were not happy here during the New Year, so no one would feel bad about giving them some benefits.

This is considered an unhealthy trend, but it is also a way to behave in society.

Living in a real world, stick to what you should stick to and let go of what should be done.

Entering Shangjing City, everyone's eyes were instantly blown away by the prosperity of the city. In the past, in the small world of Beiguan Village, when I walked out of the village, I felt that the town was the best. Now that I saw Shangjing City, I felt that I had been there before. How ridiculous is that idea.

Chongyun Town can't even compare to the most remote street in the capital!

"If we have enough time, it would be best to stay in Shangjing City after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Shangjing City is very lively on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. There are activities to welcome the God of Wealth in Shangjing City."

Wen Ping smiled and told them some interesting things about going to Beijing.

Song Chen knew that Wenping and the others were going to her from Shangjing, but the rest of the Song family didn't know. When they heard that they knew Shangjing so well, they were filled with surprise.

Wen Ping and the others did not explain. It would be much better to leave this matter to the girls than to them.

The Song family did not break the casserole at this time to ask the truth. When they came to such an absolutely unfamiliar place, it would be much better for someone to talk to them.

The carriage drove around the street after entering the city and then went to the most prosperous street in Shangjing as Wen Ping and the others said. There were also inns where you could stay.

Two carriages stopped at the entrance of the inn, and soon a waiter ran out with a smile on his face.

"Guests, do you prefer to stay in the hotel?"

Both his demeanor and his lines are very much like those in a TV series.

Song Chen looked around at the door of the inn. It looked pretty good, "We're staying in the hotel."

When the waiter heard that he was staying in the hotel, his face burst into smiles. During the Chinese New Year period, there were really very few people staying in the hotel. Meeting a few of them was like meeting his biological father.

"Several guests please come in quickly. Our inn has all kinds of rooms."

After inviting a few people to sit down in the store, the waiter quickly brought a pot of hot water over and poured it on one by one.

"It's cold outside. Please drink some hot water to warm yourself up. I'll introduce our rooms to you right now." The Song family was so shocked by this service attitude that they could only lower their heads to drink water, for fear of When he raised his head, others saw the shock on his face and was laughed at for his lack of knowledge.

They have never been treated like this before. They have been looked down upon so many times in the town that they now have a shadow.

Although life is getting better now and no one is looking down at me, I still feel a little scared.

The waiter at this shop simply made them think they were living in a dream.

Only the old god Song Chen was there, "What do you have in the Tianzi Fang here?"

"Our Tianzi Fang here is divided into Tianzi No. [-] and Tianzi No. [-]. I wonder which one the guest officer is asking about?" When the waiter heard Song Chen asked about Tianzi Fang, he immediately became more enthusiastic.

"Let's talk about which one you want to live in." Song Chen shook the cup in his hand and said very arrogantly.

But she does have the confidence.

"The guests in our Tianzi Room No. [-] are in charge of the food, and there is hot water for bathing. In addition to these, there is also a chamber pot and a bucket."

"Room No. [-] in Tianzi doesn't have hot water to take a shower. Everything else is the same."

"Six rooms in Tianzi No. [-]."

Song Chen didn't care about the others. They stayed in the inn for the past two days. What their parents were most worried about was the convenience at night. Now this Tianzi No. [-] room just solved this problem. It also had hot water for bathing. They had been out for a few days. It's really time to take a good bath.

"Okay, shopkeeper, there are six rooms in Tianzi No. [-]."

When the waiter shouted these words, his voice was trembling.

Exciting.

Then the shopkeeper took out the key to the room they were going to stay in and handed it to the waiter, "Take the guests up carefully, don't neglect it."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper." The waiter was smiling from beginning to end, "A few guests are here, please."

Before going upstairs, grandma couldn't help but ask, "Young man, how much does room No. [-] in Tianzi cost?"

When you hear the name, it sounds like it's not cheap.

The waiter was also stunned, "The guests are really sorry. I forgot to mention the price just now. Our Tianzi No. [-] room costs five taels of silver per room."

Five taels!

Grandma was going downstairs. When she heard this number, she suddenly slipped and almost fell. Song Chen quickly caught her and said, "Be careful. Food, accommodation and hot water for bathing are all included. Five taels of silver does not count." expensive."

Song Dashan and Song Wang were not much better, but they still had to comfort grandma and grandpa.

"You two want to be more open-minded. We have seen a lot on this trip. The money is well spent. When we go back, we will earn back the money as soon as possible. My brother will have to take the exam soon, Xiaochen Didn't I say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books?"

These words made the second elder not know what to say even if he felt distressed.

There are six rooms, one for the elders, one for Song Dashan and his wife, one for Song He and Wang Shengwei, one for Conghai Congzhu, one for Wenping Qiu'an, and one for Song Chen.

Before coming to the capital, we had been walking on the road for several hours. The bumpy carriage made everyone a little tired. After eating the food delivered by the inn, everyone rested.

Conghai Congzhu was vigilant with all his strength, for fear that something might go wrong.

This five-tael-a-night inn is indeed much more comfortable than the one I stayed in before, almost as good as my own home.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, after eating the breakfast provided by the inn, Song Chen took everyone out for shopping.

What they saw on the carriage was completely different from what they saw when they got off the carriage. For them, everything about going to Beijing was very strange. Song Chen was thinking that if there were cameras, they would have stopped at the same place. The most rustic tourist who keeps taking pictures.

Now the money Song Chen had given them for the Chinese New Year was put to use.

I have to say that shopping is really a woman's nature. At this moment, her mother, Song Wang, and her grandmother were wandering around crazily at various stalls.

The two of them would show each other something from time to time. If they both agreed, they would pay for it without hesitation, but their bargaining skills were quite impressive.

It was precisely because of the two people's actions that Wen Ping had to stop and wait for them, for fear that they would get lost and not find everyone.

There was a bustle of people going to the capital, and everything was new to them.

Red lanterns are hung everywhere on the streets, and the New Year atmosphere is very strong. Firecrackers sound from time to time, and children dressed in red run past your legs with cute smiles on their faces.

This all feels very wonderful.

There is also a desire to have a carnival in my heart.

This is the meaning of travel.

It can make people forget everything and just pursue happiness.
