Cheng Xi returned to the village with a letter from home.
Cheng Daqian's letter was seven or eight pages thick. He first expressed concern about the situation at home, then described the escort agency's current itinerary, and finally solemnly told his daughter "not to beat your husband."
Cheng Xi: "."
Thinking of Shen Xingluo effortlessly lifting a sack weighing a hundred kilograms, the person involved had a subtle expression.
It seems that this father-in-law knows very little about his son-in-law -
ah, he must have been deceived by his weak appearance!
Regarding marrying the Shen family, Cheng Xi admired Cheng Daqian from the bottom of her heart.
The future uncle is a reading genius, and it is well known in Lin'an Mansion that if nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to enter the officialdom and become famous. Anyone who has met Shen Xingluo will feel that he is destined to stir up troubles in the treacherous officialdom.
I don't know what this old man was thinking about handing over the innocent girl he had loved since childhood to such a sinister master.
Are you too confident in your daughter's natural powers?
Or maybe you are too trusting of your uncle?
If this was a multiple-choice question, Cheng Xi would choose C without hesitation.
It must be Father Cheng who drank too much!
Taking the family letter and walking into the study that had just been tidied up, Cheng Xi handed the two separate books to Shen Xingluo.
"Is there a map of Dayan here?"
"Yes."
Shen Xingluo quickly unfolded a table-sized piece of rice paper, which was covered with curves and occasionally had small annotations.
"Where is my father-in-law now?"
"Just left Kyoto. If you look at the date of sending the letter, he should be in Zhuozhou Mansion by now."
"Here."
Shen Xingluo accurately pointed to a small black triangle symbol on the map.
Cheng Xi looked confused, "." This
was the first time she had seen such a simple map. There were only official roads, mountains and cities, and nothing else.
Forget it, what kind of bicycle do you want?
Better than nothing.
"How many miles is it from Zhuozhou to Lin'an Fucheng?"
"About 500 kilometers."
"How long can we go?"
"According to the escort agency's schedule, it normally takes 10 days to arrive."
Hongwei Escort Agency is the largest escort agency in Lin'an Fucheng. After the escort arrives at the destination, he often picks up another order for the return trip, so the speed of the journey is Not fast.
It's just better than ordinary people walking.
Cheng Xi heard the caution in his words, "Normal situation?"
Shen Xingluo's eyes flashed slightly, "Now it's snowing heavily in Lin'an Prefecture. It's probably going to be heavier north of the Huai River, and the official road will be even more difficult."
"To the north. There has been a snowstorm."
Cheng Xi frowned slightly, feeling slightly worried.
According to Sun Xiaorong's news, many people in the state capital have chosen to move south. If it weren't for lack of food, no one would go out and walk in such cold weather.
Disasters mean that people will die, and it is possible for victims to riot.
If any of the cottages along the way don't have food or drink and choose to go down the mountain to rob, it will make things worse.
The journey that was originally only 10 days will definitely be postponed.
"Don't worry too much."
Shen Xingluo said, "My father-in-law is very skilled. Normally Xiaoxiao can't hurt him. Besides, there are other escorts from the Hongwei Escort Agency with him." In his previous
life, Cheng Daqian came back just before the New Year and just walked all the way. It was difficult and quite unsatisfactory.
"Before moving to the village, I wrote a letter to my father-in-law. The letter mentioned the snow disaster. I believe he has taken precautions now."
"Thank you."
Cheng Xi said in a sincere tone.
"You and I, husband and wife, don't need to say thank you."
Shen Xingluo's black eyes stared at her quietly, as if he wanted to see through her whole body.
