Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

Thinking about his adopted daughter, he drove the mule cart straight out of Xizhimen.

He found a stall selling wontons, returned the three empty bowls to the stall owner, and spent 45 coins to pack three more bowls of seafood wontons.

While we were waiting, old farmers carrying fruits for sale would pass by from time to time.

In the living space, there are already common fruit trees in the north, such as apple trees, plum trees, peach trees, cherry trees, pear trees, persimmon trees, and jujube trees, but there are no orange trees yet.

He decisively took out one or two taels of silver and bought a small bamboo basket, which was said to be filled with oranges that had been shipped from the south at great expense.

Expensive reason.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan nodded to show that he understood. If there were people going to the Northeast for business, there would naturally be people going to the Southwest.

The wontons were ready soon.

He carefully put it into the food box and quickly rushed to Yunshangxiang Textile Factory.

On the road and in secluded places, under the security alert of System 003, the wontons in the food box and the peach blossom pastry in the system warehouse were swapped.

I haven't been here for a few months, and I found out that a new Yunziwei vermicelli factory opened next to the textile factory.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that it must be related to the career-oriented female protagonist, Lu Yunxiang.

When thinking of Lu Yunxiang, one can’t help but think of the free women of the 1970s and the great universe.

While Jing Chuxia Yunying is still unmarried, we have to find a way to send her to school to learn how to read and write, so that she can learn some skills as a housekeeper.

After all, the old Jing family is now a wealthy family with an asset of 12,000 taels of silver.

Tomorrow I will find three cents, buy a farm, and immediately become a landlord and a country squire.

Furthermore, a well-educated, sensible, and broad-minded woman will naturally not indulge in love, be confined to the harem, and live by relying on the favor of her husband and the conscience of her husband's family.

In the imperial era, women had to have knowledge, skills and hobbies in order to live more clearly.

The mule cart rumbled forward, and my mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Turning the corner, a large stone tablet with the words "No entry for outsiders" immediately came into view.

When he was still ten meters away from the gate, he was stopped by a guard in black clothes and carrying a sword.

"Old man, this is a restricted area of ​​the factory, no outsiders allowed." Lieutenant General Jing Yuan immediately smiled and handed over a string of copper coins, "Don't blame me, sir. I'm here to look for my daughter Jing Chuxia, who works in the factory."

The guard shook the copper coin in his hand, estimating that there were 100 coins, and then he smiled and whispered, "Today is the ten-day holiday, the factory is on holiday, and most people came to pick up people and take them home yesterday evening.

The old man arrived at this time, which was a bit late.

Girls are also human beings. Don’t disappoint the child. It is really pitiful to let the little girl wait alone at the door.

Come earlier next time."

"Yes, yes, I was delayed yesterday. I will come earlier next time."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan echoed repeatedly. Although he knew that the other party had misunderstood, he did not intend to explain.

"Okay, old man, go wait outside the stone tablet. I'll send someone to call Jing Chuxia over."

"Thank you, sir. I'll be right there."

Sitting on the mule cart, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, in a daze.

A quarter of an hour later, the sound of brisk footsteps was heard.

He immediately turned around to check, "Xia Xia, here!"

"father?!"

The same crying daughter is coming.

"Wow... Dad, why are you like this?

Can you please not go to Northeast China from now on?

My brother and I are grown up and can find a way to make a living on our own.”

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan pulled out a clean cotton handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her, saying softly, "Alright, stop crying. Wipe it off quickly! Don't let others laugh at you.

Your father is just old, but I'm still strong!

It was a bit tiring to travel through mountains and rivers, but I also saw scenery that ordinary people have never seen and ate delicacies that ordinary people have never eaten.

You have grown up and experienced more, and your father is very happy.

Later, when I have time, Dad will take you to travel all over the world. I guarantee that after going out once, you will want to go again.

By then, even if I ask you to stay in the capital forever, you won’t want to stay there anymore!

Only when you go out, you will know how big the world outside is! "

Jing Chuxia stamped her feet anxiously, obviously not believing it, "Dad, you are just quibbling. I can't argue with you. Anyway, you can't follow the caravan to do business anymore.

Look how thin you are, just bones are left.

One winter cannot make up for it. Woo woo..."

As she said this, she started crying again out of heartache.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was so crying that he was at a loss and could only look up at the sky.

Help, he really doesn’t know how to coax a child!

As for promising not to go to the Northeast, that never happened!

The original owner's second wish was to escort the Duchess of England safely to the place of exile.

He is a soul from another world with a very strong professional ethics.

Since I have borrowed the original owner's body, I have to find a way to fulfill the original owner's last wish.

As for the final result?

Do your best and leave the rest to fate. The worst that can happen is that the mission fails. What else can you do?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. If... the Duke of Ying would not have to have his property confiscated and his body exiled!

Wonderful!

Huh? Why did he only think of this now?

But there’s still time, there are still 7 months left!

He should probably be able to come up with a perfect way to break the situation without exposing himself!

Thousands of thoughts flashed through my mind, and my daughter kept reminding me:

"Dad, from now on, you just need to stay at home and plant some crops and raise some chickens and ducks. Leave the rest to me and my brother.

By the way, I just got paid yesterday.

The factory pays by piecework, and the more you work the more you earn. I have saved up ten taels of silver. Don’t you particularly like chicken stewed with mushrooms?

It's still early, let's go to the nearby town to buy chicken and ingredients!"

"Chicken stewed with mushrooms?"

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan keenly caught the four words, swallowed his saliva, and urged urgently, "Let's go, get in the car, let's go buy chicken now."

The mule cart started moving with a clattering sound as the whip was raised to start the journey.

After walking a distance away, the father and daughter began to chat in low voices.

"Xia Xia, quickly open the food box and see what delicious food Daddy brought you."

"Wow, what an exquisite dessert."

"Try it. Is it delicious?"

"Mmm! Delicious! By the way, Dad, where did you get this cake?"

"Hey, this is the owner of Liuyun Pavilion, Lu Yunxiang. You know, he is also the owner of your textile factory. He gave it to your father for free!"

“Don’t be ridiculous, Dad! I’m not a child.

Tell me, how much silver did you pay for it?

Without a precise number, I feel uneasy when eating."

"Hey, my girl, when did your father ever lie to you and say that it was sent by Miss Lu, so it must be sent by Miss Lu. How could it be false?

You don't know, but thanks to your Uncle Qian, I was able to go to the Northeast and buy some fox furs, which happened to be what Liuyun Pavilion was in urgent need of. I made several thousand taels of silver from this trip!

Not only are there peach blossom cakes, but dad also bought you a set of silver jewelry!

It's at home. I'll give it to you when I get back.

I will go to find Sanwen early tomorrow morning and ask him to find us a small farm. Then our family can be considered a small landlord.

By the way, when you quit your job at the textile factory, Dad will send you to school to learn how to read and write, and learn some skills as a housekeeper.

From now on, our little farm will be under your care, and I will be waiting to enjoy the good life!"

"Study? Really, Dad, can I go to school too?

Forget it. Five taels of silver a month is too expensive. It can buy an acre of medium-sized farmland."

"Hmm? From what you said, you found the academy?

Don't worry, Dad has enough money and can support you to study for a few years.

Besides, Dad wants to study too! When you learn it, come back and teach me.

When my father was a child, he was very smart. If he had gone to a private school at that time, he might have passed the imperial examination and returned home with honors.

People always say that a white-haired boy can learn from his parents. It shows that it is never too late to start studying at any age. Maybe your father and I can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar after studying hard for a few years!

However, it's still not too late.

You must study hard. Who knows, maybe your dad can pass the exam and become a student.

Don’t you think so, Xia Xia?

Jing Chuxia's right eyelid twitched violently.

Oh no, could his father really want to take the imperial examination?

But it’s still okay, it’s much better than the dads of the young ladies in the factory who are prostitutes and gamblers!

Other people can take the examination to become a tongsheng even when they have old hair. Her father is so smart and capable, so he can definitely do it too.

"Yeah, that's right! I believe in Daddy, I will definitely pass the exam."

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being my daughter..."
