I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 269 Departure to Haizhou 3

However, neither of the two things they were worried about happened as quickly as they expected.

The carriage without Gu Wenxuan's help continued to climb steadily. The carriage with Gu Wenxuan's help quickly stopped the downward trend after she joined.

The caravan members who were originally wondering why a little girl like Gu Wenxuan kept running around with Bai Jingzhou while a young man like Bai Jingzhou ran back to stay with the others, now finally realized that it turned out that the little girl was the strongest among the five of them.

"Please give me some space if you're at the back of the car. I can't use much strength in this position." The crisis was resolved, and Gu Wenxuan made the request with a smile.

The three guys who were in charge of pushing the cart at the back heard this, and the one closest to Gu Wenxuan immediately shouted, "I'll give it to you!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wenxuan began to hold the shaft of the cart and walked backwards step by step.

The people who were pushing the cart on the right side carefully let go of their hands, took a step to the right, and made room for her. Then, after she walked over, they took a step to the left and continued their work, allowing her to walk smoothly to the rear of the car while continuing to exert force.

The guy who gave up his seat to her finally felt relieved after she took over his job and the car continued to climb the hill steadily.

He was not idle either, but turned around and went to help the pushers of the car behind.

The alarm of the sliding carriage was lifted after the personnel were adjusted. The caravan members rescued by her calmed down and could no longer hide their curiosity about Gu Wenxuan.

Fang Youfu and his three friends were tall and strong, so they were not surprised that they had great strength. But where did Gu Wenxuan, a girl with small arms and legs, get such great strength?

Of course Gu Wenxuan would not tell them the truth. She just said that she didn't know where her strength came from.

The caravan members did not ask too many questions. They were more envious and emotional rather than wanting to spy on anything.

After this experience of pushing and pulling the cart together, Gu Wenxuan and his companions quickly became familiar with the members of the caravan.

After everyone reached the other side of the ridge safely, the caravan sped up and successfully arrived at Pingxiang County before the city gates closed at night.

They entered the county town at about a quarter of an hour before the city gate. Mu Jinyang did not dare to delay. After entering the city, he immediately sent two people to the inn where they used to stay to ask if it could accommodate so many people.

After the inn gave a positive reply, Mu Jinyang immediately led his men over.

The small courtyard of the inn was not big enough for everyone to stay in, so Mu Jinyang took care of Gu Wenxuan and the others and gave them a separate small courtyard, while most of his own servants were assigned to sleep in the large bunk bed in the front.

The guys had often stayed in the wilderness, so the large bunk beds were considered very good accommodation for them. Another advantage of sleeping in a large bunk bed was that they didn't have to stand guard over the goods at night.

After eating the sumptuous meal that Mu Jinyang promised, the guys went back to their rooms in groups of ten to sleep.

Gu Wenxuan and the others were also very tired, so they left two people to take turns to keep watch, while the others went back to their rooms and went to sleep after washing up.

After a good night's sleep, I got up early the next day to leave Pingxiang County.

Because this day happened to be the tenth day of May, Gu Wenxuan's birthday, Bai Jingzhou got up earlier than anyone else.

He cooked longevity noodles for Gu Wenxuan, and after she finished eating, he gave her a set of gold and ruby ​​headgear that he had prepared in advance. "The set given by the emperor is too luxurious and not suitable for daily wear. This one is what I bought at the Mu Family Silver Shop in the state capital. It is light but exquisite. You can wear it for fun."

In the past, firstly, they didn't have much money, and secondly, it was not appropriate to show off wealth in troubled times, so Bai Jingzhou tried to be as low-key as possible when preparing jewelry for Gu Wenxuan. Now that they are rich and Bai Jingzhou has received a reward from the emperor, Gu Wenxuan doesn't have to be so low-key anymore.

The others who had the chance to enjoy the delicious noodles also gave Gu Wenxuan a birthday gift they had prepared long ago. Of course, their value was not as great as the set of gold and ruby ​​headpiece, but they were what Gu Wenxuan needed and liked, and there was no doubt that they were carefully prepared for her by everyone.

Mu Jinyang came over to call them to set off, and saw the things piled on the table. He asked and found out that today was Gu Wenxuan's birthday. He smiled and said a few auspicious words to Gu Wenxuan, and then asked the servant to bring a gift box made of tea, fine cloth, silk, pen ingots and silver ingots. "I didn't have time to prepare it carefully, so I just want to show my appreciation. I hope Miss Gu won't dislike it."

Gu Wenxuan thanked him with a smile, and began to think about what kind of reason she could find to repay the favor appropriately.

Pingxiang County and Guangzong County, where they planned to stay temporarily today, were relatively close, and they did not encounter any accidents along the way, so they arrived in Guangzong County early in the afternoon.

Mu Jinyang settled everyone in the inn. Bai Jingzhou went over to greet him, and then he took Gu Wenxuan and Jia Yuelan, Gu Wenhai and others who were willing to go out for a stroll, and went out to the street in a mighty manner.

When you go out, be careful of pickpockets, scammers, and honey traps... Gu Wenxuan had already told her companions about these common precautions before they set out.

As for whether they will suffer losses in the future, it depends on how vigilant they are and how fast their brains work.

Guangzong County, like Qingshan County where Gu Wenxuan and his friends settled, is under the jurisdiction of Xingzhou. The specialty foods here have many similarities with those of Qingshan County.

After Gu Wenxuan and her friends came out of the inn, they first strolled around the streets and bought some small wooden combs and small purses with interesting patterns. They also bought candied haws and the local specialty, purple dates.

When the time was almost up, Bai Jingzhou took everyone to eat roast chicken, spare ribs, crispy fish, big pot dishes, meat with sauce, mutton soup, steamed buns, pot stickers, braised cakes, as well as the local specialties such as sticky bean buns, braised pig's trotters, pancakes, and meatball soup.

Since they were all family, there was no need to worry about how many meat dishes and vegetables to order, or how many staple foods to eat. Bai Jingzhou simply ordered as many local specialties as possible according to Gu Wenxuan's taste.

Others who follow suit and benefit from it know that they are just benefiting from it, but they are not dissatisfied with the fact that they can benefit from it to this extent.

The group had a delicious meal, and then strolled back to the inn where they were staying with satisfaction.

Bai Jingzhou knew how to behave himself. Not only did he go out to eat, he also brought back several roast chickens to serve as extra dishes for others. Mu Jinyang, Lin's father and others who stayed at the inn and did not go out, each received a big food box of delicious food from them.

Mu Jinyang was very happy and invited several small managers in the team to come and eat together. Bai Jingzhou toasted them with tea instead of wine, and then went back to his room to wash up and rest.
