Volume 2, Chapter 148: Snacks
Qin Heng knew the affairs of Fengcheng and Jingzhong very well, not to mention that Gu Lingyun was born into a wealthy family and had military generals for generations, making him very prominent.
Gu Lingyun is the second-in-law grandson of the Marquis of Nan'an. Nan'an is appointed as the general of the Royal Forest Army and is one of the emperor's most trusted ministers. Gu Shizi is the eldest son and is a border general stationed in southern Xinjiang. Gu Lingyun's father gave up martial arts and studied literature.
He won the title of Tanhua and was appointed Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.
However, it can be said that the family was both civilized and military and won the emperor's heart.
However, Gu Lingyun came here to buy snacks, not to make friends. Everyone lamented his good life experience and reincarnation, so they put the matter behind them.
Gu Lingyun hurried back to his house in Fengcheng. His servants had already prepared a basket with ice cubes and quilts. He left two boxes of snacks to eat by himself. The other eight boxes were quickly sent to the capital, changing horses at the inn.
Replace ice cubes.
The day after tomorrow in the afternoon, two guards arrived at the Nan'an Marquis Mansion in the capital.
At home, Mrs. Nan'an Hou and several other ladies, the girls were talking and discussing how to celebrate Gu Lingyun's success as a scholar. Although in a family like theirs, being a scholar is really nothing, but if the child can take the imperial examination on his own, he must be well rewarded.
A second-class maid came in and reported: "The old lady, the eldest lady, the second lady, the third lady and all the girls, the two guards of the sixth young master came back overnight and are asking for an audience outside the second door."
The Nan'an Houfu has not yet been divided into families, and several houses are ranked together. Gu Lingyun ranks sixth among brothers.
When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly said: "Hurry! Let them in quickly!"
The second lady's face turned pale with fright, "But something happened to Yun'er?"
The faces of all the female family members changed drastically, with worried and anxious expressions on their faces.
The eldest lady consoled her: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get here."
The two guards came in dusty, knelt down and kowtowed: "See you, little one..."
"Okay, tell me quickly, what's going on? Where is Yun'er?" The old lady interrupted their greetings.
A guard said: "The Sixth Young Master is still in Fengcheng! The Sixth Young Master got a few boxes of delicious snacks, but the snacks can't be kept for a long time. We asked us to use ice cubes. We rushed them over eight hundred miles and sent them back to me overnight.
Man, madam and sisters, give it a try."
When the old lady heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and cursed: "This is a monkey! It's true, it's really a scam! A few boxes of snacks can actually stir up a lot of people! Be careful of the censor's intervention. If I don't manage the family strictly, I will teach my children."
No way!"
The eldest lady smiled and said: "Mother, this is the child's wish."
The second lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Bring the snacks here quickly so that we can see how delicious they are. Even a glutton like him likes them so much."
Four strong women came in carrying two large baskets, opened the cotton mattresses on them, first took out the iron boxes with ice cubes on top, and then took out the snack boxes one by one.
A maid came over, took a snack box, put it on the small table in front of the old lady, untied the ribbon binding the box, and opened the lid.
Suddenly, a sweet smell wafted out.
Everyone stretched their necks and looked inside. They saw that they were all snacks they had never seen before. Some of them had colorful flowers and fruits dotted on them. They looked so beautiful and looked delicious at first glance.
"Wow! That looks like a little pig!"
"Huahua, I want to eat Huahua!"
The children couldn't stand it at first and clamored to eat it.
The old lady never ate anything of unknown origin. She rewarded two well-traveled guards and called a doctor to test the poison before letting everyone go.
As a result, it was very exciting, especially the children, who were celebrating the New Year happily.
The old lady loved sweets and said with a smile: "This tastes really delicious. That kid Yun'er is really interested."
The maid serving the second lady had just asked about Gu Lingyun with the two guards, and now she replied: "I heard from them that this snack is made by the snack shop of the head of the case, and it was thought up by the head of the case's wife.
Come out. The lady in charge of the case is also skilled in medicine. It was she who contributed the suturing skills in the court."
The eldest lady smiled and said: "I know this suturing technique. Now my father and brothers are still at home killing pigs to practice suturing techniques!"
This made everyone happy, and the whole room was full of joy for a while.
Liulin County,
A new shop opened next to the really delicious pastry shop. The plaque on it is exactly the same as the plaque of the really delicious pastry shop except for the words.
On the plaque, it is written with flying dragons and phoenixes: A thousand-mile horse will bring good luck.
After a burst of firecrackers, two large carriages that collided strangely were pulled out from the yard of Qianlima Express.
The carriage is very long, with four small windows and two rows of seats inside. The driver can also be in the shed. There are red triangular flags with black edges on the front and back of the carriage, with a black horse embroidered on the flag.

The strange-looking carriage immediately attracted many people to watch.
"What kind of carriage is this? What is it for?"
"What is the speed of a thousand-mile horse?"
"This carriage is so strange! What does it pull?"
"Dang, dang, dang..." There was a sound of gongs, and Dong Youliang came out and said loudly: "Our Qianlima Express Station is a post station similar to the imperial court. It specializes in transporting items, letters and guests! There are government documents, and the goods are cheap and good.
, ensure safety and will definitely be delivered!”
Someone asked loudly: "Isn't this an escort agency?"
Dong Youliangdao: "It's not an escort agency. The escort agency collects money and delivers it wherever you want. We have a fixed route. We only take this route all year round. There are stops on the route. People get off halfway and the prices are different. Things and things
Letters will be sent to the site, and people there will deliver them to customers."
Higashi Arita, Dalang, and Erlang came out and posted a few pieces of paper on the wall at the door. On them were information such as routes, stops, departure times, and corresponding charges.
Dong Youliang said loudly: "The price is clearly marked, so no one can be deceived! The store has just opened, and there are only these few routes for now, and more routes will be added slowly. Let's start the first trip today!"
Dongming Ziyu came out with a sign and hung it on the front of a carriage. It read: Liulin County and Fengcheng.
Then, Dongming Ziyu, Shangguan Ruoli, Lingyue, Wulang, Liu Shi, Daya, Erya and four servants in a room got on the carriage and sat on the seats. Baskets of biscuits and candies were brought on

Dongming Ziyu went to Fuxue, Shangguan Ruoli, Wulang, Lingyue, and Wulang went to accompany him to study. Liu, Daya, Erya and four servants went to run the dim sum shop in Fengcheng.
Of course, we also have to visit Chen Mingdong’s son.
"Drive!" Shuan Zhu flicked his whip, and the carriage drove out slowly.
In addition, there were two sturdy men with knives riding horses, which gave people a sense of security.
The lively adults and children followed the carriage all the way out of Liulin County, and then went home talking about it.
