The closer you are to the county seat, the more cars are driving on the official road and there are more villages and towns.
In this way, there is no need to worry about finding a place to stay in bad weather, so the carriage that was traveling rapidly in the past few days began to slow down. As long as Wei's father, Wei's mother and others felt uncomfortable, they would Stopped the carriage and went to the ground to rest for a while.
So in the next few days, the complexion on their faces improved significantly, and they did not look as tired and haggard as before.
Wei Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and then took care of Wei's father and Wei's mother more carefully, lest they suffer.
But Wei's father and mother were also worried that Wei Zhenzhen would suffer, so they tried their best to rest in the village or town so that Wei Zhenzhen didn't have to work.
I don’t know if it’s because there are so many people going to the county town every year, so some families in the villages around the county town will set aside a room for rent by passing lodgers.
Father Wei and Mother Wei often decided to rest in this kind of room, because the cost of this kind of room was lower than that of an inn in the town, and the owner of the house could provide three meals for a fee, so they did not need to do it themselves.
Of course, Wei's father and Wei's mother did not rent this kind of room because they wanted to be lazy and not work, but because they had no chance to work, Wei Zhenzhen would rush to do it, so they did not want to be so tired that Wei Zhenzhen chose this kind of room that provided three meals for free. .
However, this kind of room usually only has the simplest wooden bed and wooden table. Other bedding, pillows and other things need to be taken care of by the host themselves. However, people who travel far will definitely bring these daily necessities, so this kind of room sometimes More popular than inns.
Wei Zhenzhen usually knocks on the door and asks if there is anyone staying in such a room.
For convenience and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wei Zhenzhen always wears men's clothing when she goes out. She is fair and tender, with a round and chubby face. She is very blessed and makes people's hearts drop when they look at her.
So when she knocked on the door, she rarely met anyone who didn't like her. Instead, she would greet her warmly: "What a lovely kid. We happen to have two rooms available in our house, but the larger one is already occupied." If you want to stay, you can only stay in another smaller room. Is there any problem?"
Wei Zhenzhen opened her big eyes and asked obediently: "Good uncle, can I ask my family and bring them over to see the environment before making a decision?"
"Of course no problem."
Hearing this, Wei Zhenzhen ran back to the carriage and took Wei's father and mother over to see the situation. Wei Cheyu stayed in the carriage to guard.
When the three of them went in to take a look, they met an acquaintance. No, the correct term should be a stranger who they had met several times.
On the way to the county seat, most people take the official road, so occasionally they meet people who stay in the same village. The more times they meet, the more familiar they become.
Among these people, Wei's father and mother were very impressed by one young man. He looked to be only three or four years older than Wei Cheyu, but he was traveling alone in a donkey cart.
"Little brother, we meet again, are you staying here too?" Father Wei couldn't help but take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"Hello, uncle," the young man responded politely. He seemed surprised to see Father Wei and the other three. He walked out of the room and bowed politely, "I thought you had already arrived at the county seat. Why..."
After all, one is driving a carriage and the other is driving a donkey cart. No matter what, they would never encounter each other so many times. If it were not for the fact that two of their four members are elderly and two are children, the young man would doubt whether they are following him. Have a plan for yourself.
"The old man can't stand the bumps and takes many breaks along the way, so he walks slowly," Wei's father smiled sheepishly.
The young man suddenly realized it, and the wariness in his heart suddenly disappeared: "So that's the case, no wonder..."
"Do you know each other?" the owner of the house was curious. "If so, then you can ask him if he can change rooms with you."
Father Wei shook his head: "No, no, we just met a few times on the road, so we feel quite destined."
The young man thought for a moment and then said: "It doesn't matter. I can't live in such a big room by myself. I just arrived and my things haven't been packed out yet. It doesn't matter if I change."
Father Wei hesitated: "This..."
The young man had already started to walk back, planning to take out his luggage and move it to another room.
Wei Zhenzhen actively went to help.
Father Wei: "..."
Mother Wei: "..."
When Wei's father waited for the young man to come out, he touched the back of his head and said in confusion: "I'm sorry, my son has not been taught well by me. Thank you for changing rooms with us."
"It doesn't matter, it's just a little effort. He's worried about you and that's why he's like this. He's very filial. I think that's good."
Praising Wei Zhenzhen seemed to make people happier than praising himself. Father Wei suddenly smiled and nodded, "That's right, Zhenzhen—Azheng is very filial and a good boy."
Mother Wei was also very fond of the young man because of his words, so she took the initiative to strike up a conversation and said, "Little brother, are you going to the county seat too?"
"Yes."
"What a coincidence, our family is the same," Mother Wei thought of the two boxes of books on the donkey cart driven by the young man, and asked, "Did you also go to the county seat to take the county examination?"
"Yeah?" The young man glanced at Father Wei in surprise, "Could it be..."
Wei's father did not give up studying and taking exams at such an old age, and he admired him deeply.
"It's not me, it's not me," Wei's father quickly waved his hand, "It's my child who is going to take the county examination."
The young man's surprised eyes immediately fell on Wei Zhenzhen. This child turned out to be a child prodigy! so amazing! I admire you!
"...Not me either."
Wei's mother said quickly: "It's my eldest son. He's not in good health. He's resting on the carriage now."
When the young man recalled Wei Cheyu's appearance, he was not very impressed. However, the young man did not show it. Instead, he said in a friendly and kind manner: "I see. I wish him success in passing the county examination."
Mother Wei: "Oh! Thank you for your blessing. Little brother, you are so kind. I wish you a smooth passage."
"Thank you," the young man smiled politely, "Then I won't disturb you anymore. I also need to go back and tidy up the room."
"Go ahead, go ahead," Mother Wei suddenly said to Wei Zhenzhen as if she had thought of something, "Azheng, go and help me. By the way, have you forgotten what you want to call me little brother?"
"My surname is Cheng, and my name has its own meaning," the young man said after introducing himself, "No need for help, I can do it by myself."
After Wei's mother introduced her family, she insisted: "You want it, little brother, you are such a nice person. If you want to change rooms with us, we won't help you. I'll feel bad."
Hearing this, Cheng Yi couldn't refuse anymore.
After Wei's father and Wei's mother paid the room fee to the owner of the house, they returned to the carriage and planned to move their luggage there. When Wei Cheyu saw that there was one person missing, he subconsciously asked: "Where is she?"
"You mean Zhen Zhen? She's inside. I asked her to help someone."
Wei Cheyu murmured: "No wonder..."
He was surprised that she didn't come out to help her parents carry things. It turned out that she was ordered to do things by her mother.
When they stay at an inn or B&B, the coachman will spend the night on the carriage. Therefore, in addition to valuables and daily necessities, some unused items can be placed on the carriage for the coachman to take care of.
After carrying out three bedding pillows and three boxes of books, Mother Wei felt that there was nothing she needed to take. It was not far away anyway, so if she missed something, she could just come back and get it later.
After thinking this, Wei's mother asked the coachman to drive the carriage to a nearby open space to rest.
After seeing the carriage parked, they moved their things and left.
******
Cheng Yi didn't have many things. After Wei Zhenzhen helped pack them up, she wanted to go find Wei's father and mother. Cheng Yi followed her out and said as he followed, "I'll go see if there's anything I can do to help."
Wei Zhenzhen stopped and said in a very natural tone: "No, my parents don't want you to help. They will be embarrassed. You will make them uncomfortable, so don't follow me."
Cheng Yi couldn't help being stunned. He couldn't help but lower his head and look at Wei Zhenzhen for a while. He felt that this child was not what he had just seen...
"Yeah?! Why are you two standing here at the gate?"
Mother Wei's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Cheng Yi and Wei Zhenzhen from looking at each other.
Hearing the sound, the two of them turned to look at Mother Wei in unison.
The movements were so uniform that Wei Cheyu, who was standing next to Wei's mother, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and her eyes flashed slightly.
After crossing the threshold and placing the bookcase on the ground, Wei Che asked casually, "Mom, is he..."
"He, doesn't he look familiar to you? He's the one we meet often these days," Wei's mother explained, "He goes to the county town just like us, and coincidentally, he's the same as you, Brother Yu. , all going to take the county examination."
"Come on, little brother, let me introduce you," Mother Wei pointed at Wei Cheyu and introduced, "This is what I just told you, my eldest son who is going to take the county examination - Wei Cheyu."
Cheng Yi bowed his hands and said, "Nice to meet you! I'm Cheng Yi."
Wei Cheyu responded with a salute: "Nice to meet you!"
While Wei Cheyu and Cheng Yi were greeting each other politely, Wei Zhenzhen had already run to Wei's mother, took the quilt from her hand, and carried it to the room where they were staying tonight.
Then she ran out again, picked up the bookcase that Wei Cheyu had placed on the ground, and never came out again. Wei Cheyu guessed that she was spreading the quilt in the room.
Thinking of this, Wei Cheyu said goodbye: "Brother Cheng, let's go back to the room first and talk next time."
Wei's mother interrupted at this time and greeted warmly: "It doesn't matter. Our rooms and Xiaocheng's are in the same courtyard, facing each other. Xiaocheng can follow us in."
Wei Cheyu: "..."
Cheng Yi didn't refuse. He went out to see if Wei's father and Wei's mother needed help. Since there was no help, he naturally had to go back to his room.
"Xiao Cheng, if you need help with anything, don't be polite, come and tell us," Mother Wei said with a smile, "Meeting each other is fate. When we arrive in the county, we might as well find the same inn to stay, so that there are people to look after each other."
Cheng Yi felt that Wei's mother seemed to be fascinated by him, but he didn't think too much about it, thinking it was because he had helped them.
Cheng Yi felt that it would be a good thing to find someone to take care of each other when he was out alone, so he thanked him: "Thank you, I'll bother you then."
It was said that they were taking care of each other, but it was definitely the Wei family who took care of him more, so he appreciated Mother Wei's wishes very much.
Sure enough, if you are willing to help others, you will be rewarded. The saint will not deceive you.
Bookworm Cheng Yi giggled happily.
On the sidelines, watching Mother Wei and Cheng Yi finalize the decision to take care of each other in just a few words, Wei Cheyu felt inexplicably...
