A Handbook of Happiness for Small Farmers

Chapter 25 The World Outside the Lu Family

Lu Xiaoyu originally thought that after telling Qin Ke'er about this, Qin Ke'er would jump up excitedly, but when she finished speaking, Qin Ke'er's face actually showed a reluctant expression, which made her feel uncomfortable. Lu Xiaoyu was hit hard.But soon Qin Ke'er's face changed into another look. Although he didn't jump up, it made Lu Xiaoyu feel a lot more normal.

"Yes! My mother said that the weather is getting hotter and hotter. She wanted to sew two sets of summer clothes for my father and me, but there was not enough thread, so she asked me to go to the county market to buy them. Auntie , do you want to go together? The carriage is waiting at the door!"

Being able to experience the atmosphere of the ancient bazaar up close, and there are horse-drawn carriages, Qin Ke'er will naturally not refuse.Nodding, the two little girls ran towards the gate.

Because of the face-saving thinking of the older generation of the Lu family, the girls of the Lu family can enjoy the treatment of riding in a carriage when they go out.This is also cheaper for Qin Keer, a newcomer.

The Lu family's carriage looks a bit old, but the style is still fine. Even Qin Ke'er, a stranger who doesn't understand these things, can feel the aura displayed by the Lu family after seeing this carriage.

The carriage is pulled by two big brown horses. Although the horses are not shiny, they are smooth, and they are not skinny, so they look very flattering.The carriage is dark red, and you can tell that it is made of solid wood at a glance.If this is placed in modern times, I am afraid that it will be worth some money if it is made of wood.

The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, his face was dark, but he cleaned up very well.

Stepping on the pedals, the two little girls got into the carriage.Because it was a temporary intention to go out, there was no accompanying person.

"Uncle Sun, we are seated, we can set off." As soon as he sat down, Lu Xiaoyu said something to the door curtain, and then there was a loud whip, and the carriage moved.

This was Qin Keer's first time riding in a carriage, and she was so excited that she almost wanted to scream.

The decoration inside the carriage was also very elegant, except for the side of the door curtain, there were bedding on the other three sides, and there was a small square table in the middle of the carriage, and it would be no problem to place a few dishes on it.

Qin Ke'er and Lu Xiaoyu sat on the bedding on the left and right sides. The two little girls smiled at each other, then turned their heads and looked out towards the curtain behind them.

The appearance inside the carriage is not what Qin Keer cares about. In contrast, she is more curious about the outside world.

Although she has been in this Ming Dynasty for a few days, she has not seen other scenes in this world except going to the mountain to pick wild vegetables through the back door in the morning.

As the carriage moved forward, Qin Ke'er noticed that the Lu family had indeed been glorious. Just looking at those high walls and the flat road, one can imagine how many years ago, the ancestors of the Lu family were really very Carefully take care of this old house of the Lu family.

It's just that thinking of the current situation of the Lu family, Qin Keer's heart is not only full of sighs.

After a while, the scene of the Lu family's house was lost in sight, and then there were low walled courtyards that came into view.It is similar to the mud houses that Qin Keer saw in the countryside when he was a child. Most of these houses are mainly made of soil, and occasionally they are designed with bricks and tiles, but they are very few.

It seems that the people living in these houses should be the real peasants of Dongning Village.
