Chapter 9 How far is the capital?


As soon as the rooster crowed, Yan Jin opened his eyes and saw that Baili Mo was sleeping peacefully, and Yan Jin didn't make any noise about him, and opened the curtain and walked out of the house.The woman had also gotten up and was busy in front of the stove outside the house, and when she saw Yan Jin coming out, she looked up and smiled, "The girl got up really early, how is the little boy" Yan Jin smiled back and said, "He is much better, thanks to the eldest sister." ”The woman smiled again, took a bowl from the side and handed it to Yan Jin, "The girl drank saliva to moisten her throat, yesterday I saw that the girl was sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb, the girl didn't eat all night, she should be hungry, and she can eat it after a while." ”Yan Jin raised his eyes and looked around, at this time the sky was not yet bright, the surroundings were quiet, it could be seen that the people in the village usually did not get up early, thinking that the woman deliberately got up early in the morning to make breakfast for them, the woman did not know that they ate the cake last night, Yan Jin did not say much, stood aside to watch the woman busy work, while talking to the woman, "Sister, how far is it from the capital" "The girl's family is in the capital" The woman heard this, and in an instant she felt that she was asking too much, seeing the clothes they were wearing, and knowing that they were not ordinary people, It's not surprising that even if you come from the capital.Yan Jin thought for a while and said, "Yes, my father is a businessman, and he is not a big family, barely enough for the family. ”The woman nodded, but did not care, and said, "Since the girl lives in the capital, why did she come to this place, as far as I know, this radius of a hundred miles has always been stable, and there have never been bandits. ”Yan Jin covered his eyes with his hand and said sadly: "The little girl doesn't know, my mother had a nightmare a few days ago, and she was restless, so she took my sister and brother up the mountain to worship the Buddha and pray for the protection of the gods. ”When the woman saw this, she comforted, "Don't worry, girl, for the gods will protect your mother." ”Yan Jin turned his back, pretended to wipe his tears, as if calming his emotions, and paused for a while and said: "The little girl is worried, I can't wait to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and see my mother as soon as possible, so I can rest assured." ”The woman said: "Although this is the case, but this is far away from the capital, even if it is a ten-day journey to speed up the horse, it is not easy for the two of you to return to the capital." ”On the tenth day, Yan Jin's eyes sank, Qinglian and several people will go back faster than them, if the disappearance of the second prince spreads, I don't know how much trouble it will cause, and besides, the person behind the curtain does not know who it is, if he knows that the second prince is alive, he will set up an ambush on the way back to Beijing, how can the two of them hide from the light of their eyes, they have already made a decision, Yan Jin said: "Eldest sister, I don't know what the nearest town from here is" The pot fluttered, the woman lifted the lid of the pot and stirred, and said casually: "The nearest Yingzhou is Yingzhou, which is only half a day's journey from us." ”"Yes, it's great, it's Yingzhou" Yan Jin's face was happy, extremely happy.Seeing her so happy, the woman wondered in her heart, "Why is the girl so happy?"

"Don't hide it from the eldest sister, the little girl has a distant relative in Yingzhou, because she only heard her parents mention it once, she is not sure where it is. ”Yan Jindao secretly thought in his heart, in ancient times, there were county yamen in all prefectures and counties, if they found the yamen, it would be much easier, even if they couldn't return to Beijing for a while, they would be much safer, I hope that the yacha can be more reliable and protect them."

This is very good" The woman was also extremely happy, she had never left the village since she was a child, she was kind by nature, simple-minded, she would not think much about Yan Jin's words, she believed what she said.As if remembering something, Yan Jin hurried to the house, leaving only one sentence, "I'll go into the house first." ”The woman didn't care, but when she was excited, she shook her head and went on with her own business.As soon as Yan Jin stepped into the house, the curtain of the room on the right was lifted, and a sturdy young man stepped out in a few steps, and the two met their eyes, but for a moment, the man hurriedly put aside his gaze, made a confession in his mouth, and retreated, listening to the voice, it was the woman's father-in-law, Yan Jinchao didn't care, turned around and walked to the room on the left.Yan Jin entered the house, Baili Mo was still asleep on all fours, Yan Jin uncovered the quilt, stretched out his fingers to poke his white and tender cheeks, and the pointed nails poked his face, poking out one nest after another, "Get up." ”Xu is she is too hard, Xu is she too noisy, Bai Limo frowned, muttered and opened his eyes, his eyes were shining with tears, and he didn't wake up.Yan Jin pinched his cheek hard, Bai Limo exclaimed, glared at her dissatisfied, but the person was sober, "What are you doing" Yan Jin ignored his dissatisfaction, patted his head gently, and asked in a low voice: "Do you have anything that can prove your identity" Bai Limo tilted his head, away from her, his hand reached into his sleeve and touched it, took out an object, raised his hand and threw it to her.Yan Jin subconsciously caught it, the tentacles only felt cold, looked down, and saw that there was a piece of jade lying in the palm of his hand, the jade was oval, with a trace of blood-like red veins, the color was pure, there were no impurities, and the jade was also tied with a bright yellow tassel.Blood jade, Yan Jin sighed, blood jade is extremely rare in the jade market, it is a treasure in jade, the color of uncounterfeited blood jade is positive but not evil, no impurities, the water head is good, and it is generally priceless.However, it is not unique, how can it be proved that it is the second prince Seeing that she was puzzled, Baili Mo slowly arranged her clothes and said, "You look at the light." ”Yan Jin walked into the table and looked at the candlelight, through the candlelight, a golden word faintly appeared, thin and small, and it was not clear at all if he didn't pay attention, Yan Jin looked at the light for a long time, and he saw that it was a small ink word.At this time, Baili Mo said: "This jade was given to me by my father when I was born, the only one in the whole royal family, even if others want to imitate it, it is impossible to engrave words in the jade without leaving traces, there is only one person in the world today, and that person has already returned to heaven, it is impossible for anyone to fake, everyone knows that this thing is mine, can't it be regarded as my unique token" Baili Mo raised his head, quite proud, Yan Jin saw this, his hand couldn't help but itch a little, raised his hand is a knock, without waiting for him to react, turned around and left, He also tucked the blood jade into his sleeve.When she walked out of the house, Baili Mo reacted, and immediately yelled, Yan Jin, who had arrived outside the door, was stunned, but the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, the arc had not yet been formed, Yan Jin's eyes changed, the corners of his mouth were pursed, and his expression was cold.At the entrance of the village, an ox cart stopped aside, the woman stood in front of Yan Jin, and Yin Yin instructed, "If the girl can't find her relatives, she will come back with my family, the woman is always uneasy when she is alone" "When I arrive in Yingzhou, let my family head go to find it, and the woman can't show her face" "Although the little boy is awake, I still have to be careful, I put some ginger slices and herbs in the car, and let my family boil it for the little boy to drink" Yan Jin listened carefully, and nodded whenever the woman finished speaking, without the slightest impatience, She could feel the woman's concern for her, so pure and direct, that she would not be ignorant of good and bad.After the woman finished speaking to her, she turned to her man and said, "Slow down on the road, your daughter's family is delicate, not like you." ”"Take the big road, don't take the small road, the small road is not safe" "And" "Okay, okay, I know, women's people are trouble" Liu Daquan interrupted her words and said impatiently.Yan Jin's eyes bent, he lifted Baili Mo into the ox cart, sat on it by himself, and waved his hand to the woman, "Eldest sister, go back, don't worry, we will be careful." ”The woman nodded, and followed a few steps with trepidation, until the ox cart had turned a corner and could no longer be seen, then she turned and went back.The wheels gurgled and turned, although slowly, but unswervingly forward, just like the unknown road ahead that Yan Jin was about to face, although he didn't know how many bumps in the road, he had to move forward:
