Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 1906

  The next day when Man Bao left the palace, Mingda had already pulled out a statue of Lao Tzu from the storeroom, and learned how Man Bao made a confession of the crystal bracelet.

  Lao Zhoutou knew that they were going to Shangzhou on leave this time, and he was a little worried. He hesitated for a moment, and he still took the boss and the fifth with him. He felt that the son who went there would be more confident and confident.

  Lao Mrs. Liu will also set off to return to Longzhou. Longzhou Zhang’s grandfather is going to have a birthday. This time the birthday is a big birthday, and she wanted them to regain a firm foothold in Longzhou, so she went back.

She did not ask Bai Shan to go back with her. She said: "We have not been in Longzhou for many years. Although we have been walking with relatives, we haven't seen each other for many years, and many of our feelings have faded. I don't know what the situation is now, so you There is no need to go back with us."

   said again: "This time you accompany Man Bao to Shangzhou, and see what is going on in the Xia family. In the future, your child will have a surname with Xia."

  This is a big deal, it's not sloppy.

  Bai Shan respectfully responded and sent his grandmother and mother out of the city that day. They packed their things the next day and set off.

  The three of them did not ride in a carriage, but ran ahead with a horse.

  Shangzhou is not very far from the capital. Even if they were slower, they arrived around noon the next day.

  At night, a group of people stopped at an inn on the side of the road. Although Man Bao is not a public office, she is an official, and she can still reduce or exempt some fees.

The first time Lao Zhou went out, he also enjoyed the benefits of being an official by a girl. While enjoying the flattery of the post clerk, he quietly said to Qian, “It’s really good to be an official. Sangguan, don’t we need to spend money if we travel?"

  Qian: "...Didn't you hear what Man Bao said? They need to be accompanied by them. They are all busy. Where can I stay with you out of the station?"

  Not many people came, only Zhou Dalang and Wu Wulang followed, and the rest were Daji and other guards.

  Because Xiao Qian’s did not follow, they did not cook midway, instead they took out the dry food that Xiao Qian had prepared for them and ate them, took out the bamboo tube and drank two sips of water before continuing on their way.

  Finally arrived in Shangzhou at noon the next day.

  Shangzhou is not very far from the capital. Most business travelers from the south and southwest to Beijing pass here, so Shangzhou is much more lively than Mianzhou.

  Man Bao led the horse into the city, and saw the hawkers yelling loudly. She looked around and landed on the noodle stall on the side of the road.

The stall owner was holding a mound of noodles and a knife, and scrambled the noodles into the pot. After a while, he cut out a bowl. After he cooked, he threw a handful of greens in it, and then he fished out the noodles. With green vegetables, the woman on the side added something to the bowl, and it was served soon.

  Man Bao saw the meat foam on the noodles and couldn't move.

  Bai Shan pulled her and didn’t see any movement, so he asked, "Hungry?"

  Man Bao nodded.

  Bai Shan looked back at Da Ji who was escorting the carriage in, and said, “It’s noon. Let’s have lunch here and find a place.”

  Daji has actually arranged an **** to advance to the city, but the other party may not be familiar with Shangzhou, and has not seen a figure yet.

  So he nodded after thinking about it, and then he greeted everyone to park the carriage on the side and let Lao Zhoutou and the others get out of the car before they had a meal.

  Man Bao immediately ran to help her mother, while Bai Shan went to Mr. Fu Zhuang, and Bai Erlang had already ran to the booth and occupied several positions.

  Waiting for everyone to sit down at two tables and order noodles, Lao Zhoutou looked around and said, "Shangzhou looks much more lively than ours in Mianzhou."

  Lao Zhoutou has only been to Mianzhou three or four times in his life. The most recent time was because he was going to Beijing to pass through Mianzhou.

  But there are not many people, but it’s a thing that can be seen at a glance.

  The stall owner on the side sliced ​​noodles for them, and proudly said: "We Shangzhou is the gateway to the capital. It is naturally more prosperous. Where is your Mianzhou?"

  He simply doesn’t know where Mianzhou is. In fact, they know very little except for the surrounding states and counties and the capital.

  Lao Zhoutou also proudly said: "Our Mianzhou is also the gateway to Yizhou City."

   "Is Yizhou city big? I have heard of a Yizhou king who rebelled the year before, scared me and thought that there was going to be a war again."

  Old Zhoutou:...

  Why did King Yizhou replace them?

  Lao Zhoutou didn’t want to mention Yizhou any more, instead he said: “Our Mianzhou is also very good, our Mianzhou’s pot helmets are delicious.”

  The main stall said: "Our Shangzhou cut noodles are also delicious, especially mine. It is a specialty in Shangzhou. It's a great bowl of Le, you can try..."

  Old Zhoutou intuitively felt that he was lying. If he was a must in Shangzhou, would he still set up a stall at the gate of the city?

   was about to refute, Bai Shan had already asked: "I heard the old man say this, the old man is familiar with Shangzhou?"

The stall owner looked at Bai Shan and couldn’t help but laugh, “Naturally, I’m familiar with it. My ancestors are from Shangzhou. Since my father, I have set up a noodle stall at the gate of this city. The son said, old man, your grandfather and I should belong to the same generation."

  He stretched his finger on Lao Zhou's head while speaking.

  Bai Shan stopped talking.

  Man Bao raised his head and said, "This is my father, his future father-in-law."

  The stall owner was taken aback when he heard it, and then smiled awkwardly: "This way..."

But he quickly reacted and began to praise Old Zhou with all his might, "Blessed brother, you girl is blessed at first sight, look at this round face, and look at this white and tender look, your son-in-law. It looks like a talent."

  Lao Zhoutou became happy now, and said proudly: "Of course, my girl is the most blessed."

  Bai Shan cleared his throat and brought the topic back to what he wanted to ask, "Is that old man familiar with the people in Shangzhou?"

  The stall owner shredded his noodles and talked to Bai Shan, "Is the young man here to vote for marriage?"

  Bai Shan smiled and replied, “There is a relative in Shangzhou at home, but I don’t know where he lives, but his surname is Xia.”

  Bai Shan glanced at Man Bao and said: "Single name Yu Yan is a talented person."

  The stall owner thought hard for a while, but didn’t think about it, smiled and said, "We are also very big in Shangzhou..."

  Man Bao asked, "Then do you know where Songhua Alley is?"

"I know, go down this street, turn west at the third intersection, then turn south, and you will find Songhua Lane to the west of the two intersections. Where does your relative live?" The stall owner thought about it. Thinking, frowned and said, "Xia Xiucai in Songhua Lane?"

   "There are no scholars in Songhua Alley now, but there was still a scholar in Xia more than ten years ago."

  Everyone lifted their spirits, and Bai Shan said: "That's the Xia Xiucai."

The stall owner looked at Bai Shan, then at Zhou Man, and then smiled: "I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding. That Xia Xiucai disappeared more than ten years ago, and there is no one at home."

  　See you at nine in the evening
