First, there was the man driving the carriage. He had dark skin, a thin figure, and green stubble on his lips and chin.

Looking at his weathered face and the dirt on his body, you can tell that this man is in a hurry and doesn't even have time to take care of himself.

His facial features are very ordinary, not ugly, but not good-looking either. He is the kind of person who would be instantly forgotten if thrown into a crowd.

Then, He Tiantian looked at the carriage she was riding in.

It is said to be a carriage, but it is actually an old horse dragging a dilapidated carriage. There is only a simple shed on the carriage frame, and there is not even a carriage.

In the carriage, besides He Tiantian and the boy, there were several large and small baggage.

This is the rhythm of family travel.

Finally, He Tiantian observed the surrounding situation.

The road is made of compacted loess, with mountains, forests or farmland on both sides.

In the fields and mountains and forests, there are people dressed in short clothes cultivating and hunting.

Thinking about it, the world of this mission is an imaginary feudal dynasty, and the road under your feet is probably an official road.

He Tiantian turned her head slightly and looked back.

As the carriage passed by, a layer of fine loess appeared on the ground. It was noon again, and the sun was very fierce.

The dazzling sunshine and flying dust made the distant scene look like a somewhat blurry picture.

At the far end of the official road, where He Tiantian looked, he vaguely saw a group of people slowly approaching.

It's just that the light was too bright, and those figures became erratic.

Combining the words of the dark and thin man, He Tiantian roughly guessed the current time node even if he did not integrate the memory of the original owner——

This should be when the Annan Hou Mansion was falsely accused of treason. The current emperor Chengtai was so furious that he ordered people to escort the entire Hou Mansion to Beijing.

Gu Xiuniang's mother-in-law, the future famous loyal servant Nanny Zhao, was a confidant of the Hou Madam Zhang. When the Hou family was in trouble, as a slave, she naturally had to be escorted to the capital along with the Zhang family.

Gu Xiuniang's man, Feng Zhongliang, was deprived of his slave status by Mrs. Zhang early and was released to the outside world to become a good citizen.

Mrs. Zhang did this, firstly, to appease Aunt Zhao for her loyalty, and secondly, to let Feng Zhongliang help Mrs. Zhang run the dowry shop outside.

As his name suggests, Feng Zhongliang is loyal to Mrs. Zhang and is honest and kind.

However, in the southwest, Feng Zhongliang, who was neither stupid nor stupid, managed the shop in a prosperous manner with the towering tree of Pingnanhou Mansion as his back.

In front of others and behind others, they will also be called "Master Feng" and "big shopkeeper".

Although my mother is still working as a slave, it still depends on who she is serving.

The dignified first-grade Madam Hou, the wife of the God of War in the Southwest, can serve beside such a distinguished person, and Nanny Zhao can be considered a number one person.

As the only son of Aunt Zhao and the one whom Mrs. Zhang uses, Feng Zhongliang is very dignified.

Therefore, when it comes to getting married, some girls from Jinshi families are willing to marry him.

Even some petty officials and officials wanted to become in-laws with Aunt Zhao.

However, Feng Zhongliang finally fell in love with the daughter of a poor scholar, Gu Xiuniang.

The reason is very simple, Gu Xiuniang is beautiful.

Fair and clean, delicate and delicate, with a melon-seed face, willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, small and delicate nose, and mouth.

Coupled with her slender figure, she makes people feel pity just looking at her.

Aunt Zhao originally looked down upon the Gu family's family background, but she couldn't help but like her son.

Although the Gu family is poorer, they are also a decent family.

Gu Xiuniang looks really good on the outside, and she also has good embroidery skills.

It is said to be an ancestral skill. The ancestors of the Gu family were once a well-known embroidery family and were quite famous in Jiangnan.

It was Gu Xiuniang's great-grandfather who passed the Jinshi examination and gradually got rid of his status as a merchant and craftsman and became a distinguished scholar.

The Gu family has completely changed its structure. The men only study and the women learn embroidery.

It's a pity that the Gu family doesn't seem to have any gene for reading. Except for the great-grandfather who passed the examination as a scholar, there was no decent scholar in the next two or three generations.

Gu Xiuniang's grandfather was no longer a scholar, and Gu Xiuniang's biological father was even worse. After taking the exam for twenty or thirty years, he reduced a good family to poverty and was just a child.

If Gu Xiuniang and her sisters hadn't stayed up late doing embroidery to make money, the Gu family would have been in trouble.

However, Gu's father still refused to give up. He was almost fifty or sixty years old, and he still had gray hair and took the scholar examination, but failed repeatedly.

Father Gu didn't think it was his lack of talent, but blamed bad luck and the examiner's ignorance.

Gu's father was still a bastard. He was laughed at outside for being an old boy, but when he came home he was a proud ancestor.

Gu Xiuniang was so patriarchal and had a wonderful mind. Old Dongheng, who was stupid at reading, also contributed a lot to Gu's father!

Originally, when Aunt Zhao asked Feng Zhongliang to marry Gu Xiuniang, Father Gu was a little unhappy.

The Gu family is a family of scholars, and although Feng Zhongliang is a good citizen, his mother is still working as a slave.

If a good person is not married to a bad person, even if he is a servant of a wealthy family, it is still a "mean" person.

However, the Gu family is in a difficult situation, and Gu's father's strength cannot withstand the cruelty of reality.

Besides, Aunt Zhao is a decent nanny in Pingnanhou Mansion, and Pingnanhou is a local snake in the southwest.

If you have a relationship with the Marquis Mansion and take part in the imperial examination in the future, you might be able to——
