Chapter 45: The Bustling Capital
The words of the people behind them reached the ears of the Jiang family.

The two accompanying sisters-in-law, Mrs. Jiang Da and Mrs. Jiang Er, looked at each other and then turned their gaze to Old Lady Jiang again, with some worry in their eyes.

"Mom, I'm afraid the capital is unsafe right now?" Mrs. Jiang said hesitantly.

These words made Old Lady Jiang fall into deep thought.

The village chief, who was sitting next to him, waved his hand as if he was used to it, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

This kind of small incident happens countless times in the capital city throughout the year.

In addition, as the year draws to a close, all kinds of chaos are bound to arise.

After hearing what the village chief said, the Jiang family felt a little relieved.

Soon, the line reached the Jiang family.

Boss Jiang handed the post that he had just processed yesterday to the leading officer. After the other party checked and confirmed that it was correct, he waved his hand and let the Jiang family in.

Jiang Yunjin had been held in the arms of Mrs. Jiang. Only when she saw that it was time to go into the city did the little girl stand up from her mother's arms.

The carriage below her started slowly, but the little girl's eyes were attracted by the sign erected on the city gate.

There was a portrait posted on it, showing an ordinary face, even a little ugly.

The only thing that caught his attention was the mole on his cheek.

Mole?

Jiang Yunjin found it strange. Why do people here love to get moles?

She shook her head, feeling extremely surprised, but she didn't connect it with the person she had just seen.

After all, the person in the portrait is very different from that person, so they must not be the same person.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunjin sighed somewhat sadly.

She saw it, and it said a reward of one hundred taels was written on it!
After entering the city and walking straight ahead, you will see a wide avenue.

It was noon at this time, and the avenue was already filled with various vendors. The sounds of hawking were heard constantly and the smell of various snacks could be smelled.

Jiang Yunjin saw the scene with his own eyes and was almost shocked beyond words.

The level of prosperity now is comparable to the commercial streets of later generations.

The horse turned and turned into a small path.

Go straight along the path and you will see a place where various carriages are parked.

When Jiang Yunjin saw this scene, he thought to himself, could this be the parking lot?

Oh, no! It's a horse ranch!
Just as Jiang Yunjin thought, the area in front of them was exactly where the carriages were parked.

Unlike the developed places in later generations, the place in front of us is a place dedicated to selling horses. Because there is a lot of vacant land, people also do the job of looking after horses.

Boss Jiang asked the Jiang family members to get off the carriage one after another, and he found the owner of the horse shop with ease.

The Jiang family didn't know what Boss Jiang said to the other party. They only knew that after a while Boss Jiang walked out alone.

"Mother, I will go to the government office with the villagers to take care of the land first."

Boss Jiang remembered the main purpose of this trip and brought it up.

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she nodded quickly, said a few nice words to the village chief, and then watched the two of them leave.

Before leaving, Boss Jiang also agreed on a meeting place with his family and even gave them many instructions.

If you get lost accidentally, just go to the horse shop and wait.

Several young men from the Jiang family agreed. They understood that this was meant for them.

As soon as Boss Jiang left, Old Lady Jiang looked at the drastic changes in her surroundings and felt deeply moved for a moment.

"I've been away from home for dozens of years. I can hardly recognize the capital now. Look! That dim sum shop is an old shop. It was already open when I was a child. There's also that blacksmith shop and that clothing workshop!"

Old Mrs. Jiang pointed to a few shops not far away and excitedly introduced them to her children and grandchildren.

Except for Old Lady Jiang, all the other members of the Jiang family were visiting the capital for the first time. When they saw the prosperous scene before them, they could hardly make a sound.

If it weren't for the voice of Old Lady Jiang that kept ringing in their ears, I'm afraid these people would have dispersed. The eldest and second wives of Jiang looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement that could not be concealed.

"Mom! This place is so nice! But...will anyone find someone to do the laundry?"

Mrs. Jiang was confused and couldn't help but speak.

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she was silent for a moment, then she smiled again.

"It's good to go and have a look after all. Even if there's no laundry service, you can look for other options. You can always find a way to make a living."

Old Mrs. Jiang's words gave the Jiang family some peace of mind.

There were many people in the capital, and the Jiang family boys were held tightly by Jiang Laoer and his men, while Jiang Yunjin followed beside his mother.

The group followed Old Lady Jiang and walked along the path in front of them until they reached the main road.

There were many people coming and going on the road, and luckily the little ones were held together, otherwise they would have been squeezed to who knows where.

Jiang Yunjin was the youngest and the shortest, so even with her mother protecting her, she almost tripped.

She walked with great difficulty.

When I stopped, I accidentally bumped into a soft spot.

Jiang Yunjin wanted to cry but had no tears.

She raised her fair little face with a soft smile on it, looked at the woman who suddenly turned around in front of her, and swallowed with a gulp.

The woman turned around with an angry look on her face and looked behind her, her eyes fell on the little girl following behind her.

After a moment, the woman realized that the person who had hit her butt was the little girl in front of her.

The woman blushed instantly and said sorry to the girl.

Mrs. Jiang, who didn't understand what was going on, timidly responded with a polite word.

Only Jiang Yunjin understood what had happened.

But she had no choice, this little guy of this height just had so many troubles.

Later, perhaps Mrs. Jiang noticed it, and even when she stopped, she would deliberately keep a distance from the person in front of her.

After walking a few steps, stopping and starting, it took half a minute to move to an alley in front.

"Mom, is the traffic in Beijing so congested?" Mrs. Jiang brought her daughter to Old Lady Jiang and couldn't help but ask.

Old Mrs. Jiang, who was sweating profusely, just shook her head blankly.

She remembered that there were only a few people on this road in the past. Not to mention walking, even street vendors were very rare.

"Just bear with it for a while. Walk two more alleys and you will reach the East Market, where there are many high-ranking officials and wealthy people."

The purpose of their trip was to go to East Market.

The group squeezed into the crowd again and headed towards the East Market.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from not far behind, and someone shouted loudly.

"Get out of the way! The Criminal Division is investigating a case! All outsiders, please get out of the way!"

Loud shouts came from behind.

When the people around heard this, they hurriedly avoided him as if they had seen an extraordinary person.

In the chaos, Jiang Yunjin was squeezed out of the crowd, with members of the Jiang family shouting at him from behind.

Jiang Yunjin reacted immediately, turned around and squeezed into the crowd.

She wants to find her mother!

After squeezing for a long time, not only did I not get in, I was even pushed further and further away by others.

Just as she gritted her teeth and tried to find an opportunity, someone turned her around and kicked her little butt.

The next second, the whole little body flew into the air.
