After returning from Ximu house, Shen Jingli, with the help of Shi Guanshi, prepared the things of the Hui people, including birthday gifts for the Grand Uncle, gifts for the elders of the family, and gifts for the younger generations. Different generations have different gifts, so it is quite troublesome to deal with them.

I'm glad that steward Shi is very experienced in handling these matters, and he will raise Shen Jingli where he should pay attention. Otherwise, Shen Jingli alone may not be able to be ready in ten days and a half months.

In the twinkling of an eye, Shen Jingli got up early in the morning, ordered the escort to load all the prepared gifts into the car, and ordered the kitchen to move the prepared dry food into the carriage.

After breakfast, Mu Chen came out and saw the gifts of two full carts, as well as the reorganized motorcade. He hugged Shen Jingli and said, "it's hard for you."

"It's not hard. It's basically managed by Shi Guanshi." In fact, he is just using his mouth. Many of the tasks that need to be done are mostly those of the stone steward.

"That's a big reward." Mu Chen said, "it's not all said. These things can be prepared at Jinling. Why take a long journey to escort them there?"

"The third grandmother said it was more sincere." Although I don't know the meaning of this sincerity, I still have to listen to the elder's advice, "don't worry, we are following the official way, and the second uncle hired an escort agency to escort us. It will be OK."

Mountain bandit robbery and other things are not in his consideration at all. He is just worried about whether he will be too tired.

Mu Chen holds Shen Jingli for a while, and her husband and husband go to pick up xun'er and Huaixin.

Knowing that Huai Xin wants to go with xun'er, he often comes early and asks for leave and comes to see him off. Now he is holding Huaixin and talking.

"Don't be naughty on the way. You must listen to the master and the wife." He often pulls Huaixin's clothes and puts the money advanced by himself and Shen Yueer into the pocket of his clothes. "There are two or two silver here. When you go to Jinling, if you want to eat something or buy something, you can ask sister Jinyu or brother Nianhua to buy it for you."

Huaixin nodded his head cleverly, held Chang Lai, rubbed in his arms, and said stiffly, "well, I listen to my brother."

He pulled the clothes he often came to, and his small face was full of reluctant to give up. He often came and looked at it with heartache. But he knew that the young master would never let Huaixin stay in the capital city if he adhered to Huaixin.

Often came to kiss Pro Huaixin's face, coax him: "don't be sad, you just go to play with the young master, and you will come back soon."

"But I think my brother will play with me."

Knowing that his brother was thinking about himself, he was always happy and rubbed his head intimately. "When my brother makes a lot of money, I'll take you to play, OK?"

"Good."

"Huaixin, Huaixin, where are you? We are going to start..."

After changing into a plain cotton padded jacket, xun'er happily ran to find Huaixin. Seeing Huaixin sitting in his usual arms, he was immediately displeased with his face on the floor. "Huaixin, we're going to start. You should get down quickly." Little overlord's toe is high and high.

Huaixin rubbed his red eyes, climbed down from Chang Lai's arms, and hugged his arm, "brother, I must be back soon, soon, very soon..."

He said a lot of fast, firm appearance, let Chang Lai is very pleased, his younger brother is also growing slowly.

Xun'er leads Huaixin to Mu Chen and Shen Jingli, and often follows them silently.

After greeting mammy Jin and others, the motorcade went to the east gate.

After waiting for a long time at the gate of the city, Mu Yu finally saw the carriage of the prince's mansion, and immediately asked his sidekick to intercept it.

The carriage was moving very slowly before leaving the city. As soon as someone stopped the carriage, the groom immediately pulled the reins and asked the horse to stop. After a careful look at the man, he turned to Mu Chen and said, "master, it's Zhenyuan Hou Shizi."

As soon as Mu Chen lifted the curtain, Mu Yu had already stepped on the bench and climbed up. He turned back and ordered his close companion, "you go to the servant carriage behind you."

The servant took up the bench, and quickly turned around to run to the servant carriage behind him. He was afraid that the coachman would suddenly drive away and leave him alone.

When the man left, Mu Yu turned back, said hello to Mu Chen, and squeezed into the carriage.

The carriage was very spacious. Shen Jingli and his two children were sitting in it. He was telling them the story of the wolf coming. When he saw Mu Yu come in, he raised his eyebrows suspiciously. "Don't be hurt, brother." Mu Yu said hello to Shen Jingli and reached out to hold xun'er. "Xun'er, do you want to be uncle?"

"Uncle." Xun'er called out cleverly and took half of the snacks to Mu Yu's mouth. "Uncle, red bean cake, you eat it."

Mu Yu didn't dislike that it was his leftover food. He ate it with open mouth. It seemed that he was eating some rare seafood. At last, he praised xun'er vigorously, "xun'er is really good. He knew how to be filial to uncle when he was young, and the red bean cake he gave was also delicious."

Mu Chen looked at his beloved baby's appearance and said, "don't you like sweet food?"

"How can ordinary red bean cake be compared with that given by xun'er?" Mu Yu solemnly replied, and then continued to reach out to tease xun'er in his arms. Xun'er was teased and giggled. He called out his uncle and went straight to Mu Yu's arms.Mu Yu seems to like to tease xun'er very much, Xiao seems to have a happy smile on his face.

Huaixin didn't know Mu Yu. He was timid enough to hide in Shen Jingli's arms. Seeing how happy he was with xun'er, Huaixin couldn't help turning his head and peeking at them secretly. He thought it was very interesting. He fell on Shen Jingli's lap, looked at him all the time, and kept laughing.

Mu Chen saw that they were having a good time, so he poured a cup of warm water to Mu Yu and said, "if you just run out like this, what will the Yamen do?"

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Feng is here." Mu Yu didn't care about tunnels.

Looking at him like this, Mu Chen knew that he had a bad life. It should be Dehui County Lord and mu Laotai Jun who put pressure on him again.

The carriage slowly arrived at the place where he had made an appointment with Mr. mu. From a distance, he heard Mu Jing's voice.

"Brother fourteen, sister-in-law..."

"Big brother, sister-in-law..."

When the two voices fell together, Mu Chen lifted the curtain and saw Mu Jing and Mu Jin standing in the distance waving to them.

"How can jin'er be with Mu Jing?" Mu Yu also sticks out his head, sees Mu Jin standing with Mu Jing and asks curiously.

"He recently stayed in Ximu house and went to the barracks with his sixteenth brother."

Mu Yu nodded and returned to the carriage.

After joining the ranks of old master Mu San, several brothers of Mu Chen and Mu Yu took the same carriage, while Shen Jingli and his two children sat in a carriage, accompanied by Jin Yu and Nian Hua, who served with him.

The distance between the capital and Jinling is a little far. It takes more than half a month to take the official road by carriage.

When he left the capital, Shen Jingli felt comfortable and enjoyed the scenery around him. He asked Jin Yu and his time to tell him local customs and stories from time to time.

Neither Jin Yu nor Nian Hua has read a book. Where have you seen any custom stories, she can only tell the stories told by the old servant in the mansion before. Shen Jingli is not averse to it. She listens with great interest.

Huaixin was a little carsick, and leaned limply against Shen Jingli's arms, whining "brother.".

Shen Jingli asked Jinyu to find a piece of ginger, cut it into slices and put it on Huaixin's navel. Then he fed him some water and coaxed him to sleep.

Xun'er originally wanted to play with Huaixin, but when he saw that Huaixin was not comfortable, he skillfully lay down in Jinyu's arms, looking at Huaixin all the time and asking him about his situation from time to time.

The motorcade stopped and walked, and 17 days later, they arrived at Jinling. Jinling is only one day away from the wealthy Yangzhou city. Jinling is a medium-sized town,

despite its small scale, the flow of people on the street is not much worse than that in the capital city. The reason is that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is a big river passing through it. The waterway is smooth, so many mountain treasures are bred in the mountain There are many merchants in this ordinary town, especially those dealing in dry goods and game. If you get a few rare things, you can immediately pour them into the big families in Yangzhou City, and you will get a lot of silver.

Therefore, it can't be said that there are no poor families in Jinling City, but the basic living standard is no worse than that in the capital city. The whole town is happy and upward. It's hard to see a petty thief in the city.

It is also because there are many merchants in the city, many porters or drivers on the road, and there are more food stalls on the roadside than in other places.

When the motorcade entered Jinling City, it was already evening. There were many small business stalls on both sides of the street. Shen Jingli lifted the curtain and looked out. He felt that the small town was full of people, more lively than the capital.

"The Jinling City is really prosperous. People are coming and going more lively than the capital city." Jinyu also lifted the curtain on the other side and looked at the peddler shouting outside. She couldn't help but be very excited.

"Really, I want to see it, too." Love also crowded over, a look outside the scene of extraordinary bustle, can not help but shout, "it is really lively, capital night can not be lively here."

The air was filled with sour jujube and glutinous rice. Nianhua sniffed and salivated: "sour jujube cake and glutinous rice cake, smell good to eat."

Jinyu gave up her eyes and knocked his head, "look at you, like a dog who hasn't eaten for a few days."

"Who do you think is a dog..." Years of unconvinced retort.

"Whoever answers, he is." Jinyu deliberately contradicts him.

Huaixin's carsickness is a little better. He also lies prone in the window and looks out. His mouth is like a little milk dog salivating food.

"Want to eat?" Shen Jingli touched his head and asked.

"Yes." Huaixin nods hard.

"I'll have someone buy it for you later."

"Thank you am." When he blurted out, Huaixin turned his head and rubbed in Shen Jingli's arms. He had lost amum when he was very young. He didn't feel the warmth from amum. However, after arriving at the prefectural palace, Shen Jingli always treated him well and let him feel the warmth of amu daram.

Shen Jingli couldn't laugh or cry. Did he really want to be his daughter-in-law's rhythm?

MUJIAZHUANG is a few kilometers away from Jinling City. They stayed in the biggest Inn in Jinling City that night.The three members of the Mu Chen family live in one room. They are going to MUJIAZHUANG tomorrow. Shen Jingli is a little uneasy. He pulls Mu Chen to talk about the clan affairs of the Mu family and has no sleep all night.
