Chapter 7 Go to Beijing

There were toothbrushes in the Ming Dynasty, with a paulownia pole, dozens of small holes on the head of the brush, and pig bristles were worn inside.

Dip it in a tooth powder that smells a little bitter, and then you can start brushing your teeth with a sniffle.

Although it is incomparable to the toothbrush and toothpaste of later generations, it can definitely clean teeth, and the tooth powder can even bubble.

Xia Yuan felt that it was very humane, and this toothbrush powder was found in the Song Dynasty, which broke his understanding of ancient people's understanding of the use of willow branches dipped in salt to clean their teeth.

After washing up, the two of them came to the kitchen. The little girl held the edge of the stove, lifted the large pot lid, took out a large bowl of meat and vegetables from it, and placed it on the table.

Xia Yuan noticed that the bowl of dishes looked like a hodgepodge, including chicken legs and half-pulled elbows, which should be left over from yesterday's wedding banquet.

Then, two bowls of porridge were scooped out and placed on the table. The two sat opposite each other. Xia Yuan ate very quickly, but his eating habits were quite gentle. He just took the meat and vegetables on the table and the porridge in the bowl had already gone down.

But he found that Xiao Douding, who was sitting opposite, had not taken any action to pick up food, but was just keeping drinking the rice soup in the bowl.

"Why don't you eat food?"

"I'm not hungry, husband."

"Do you want to tell me again that you are easy to support?"

Xia Yuan interrupted her directly, grabbed a chicken leg and put it in her bowl, "Since you are kept, I will not rush away no matter what you are like, whether it is easy to support or not, so you should eat hard to eat and don't always starve yourself. Besides, this is the time for you to grow up. If you don't eat enough now, you will never grow up in the future."

Xia Yuan said a lot, and Zhao Yuerong whispered in a low voice, grabbed the chicken leg and bit it a small bit.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yuan was satisfied. Xiao Douding was as thin as anything. He was embarrassed to tell others that this was his wife when he went out.

It is necessary to eat more and raise your body quickly.

Xia Yuan finished drinking the porridge in the bowl and refused her behavior of adding porridge to her. Then he instructed: "So you continue to eat the porridge in the pot and the remaining dishes are yours. Remember to finish all of these, and I'm not allowed to leave them. I'm going out."

"Where are you going?"

"Beijing."

Xia Yuan said that he was going to the capital was not talking nonsense, he was really going to the capital.

Xiajiazhuang where he lives is located is located in Daxing County. Of course, there is a big difference between Daxing in the Ming Dynasty and Daxing in later generations.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Daxing was first merged into Hebei and then merged with Nanyuan, which formed Daxing in later generations.

Now Daxing is in a highlight moment, and it is still the Daxing County, which is known as the world's number one county.

The Shuntian Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two along the central axis, with Drum Tower as the boundary. The east side was under the jurisdiction of Daxing County, and the west side was under the jurisdiction of Wanping.

Even the county governments of Daxing County are in the capital, which is called the inner city of the city, and are located in Daxing Hutong in the DC area of ​​the later capital.

Xia Yuan felt that he was lucky enough to travel through time. The capital of the Ming Dynasty said he would visit anyway. This was by the way, and the main purpose was to see what business opportunities there were.

Upon hearing this, the little girl did not ask him what he was going to the capital, but put down the bowls and chopsticks and left a sentence, "Husband, wait for me."

After saying that, he got up and ran out the door.

After a while, the little girl ran back again. Unlike before, there was an oil paper umbrella, a cloth bag, and a water bag in her arms.

"Husband, you can take these things. There were some steamed buns left in the wedding banquet yesterday. I put them in the cloth bag. Husband took them to eat them on the road."

Xia Yuan looked up at the sky, and it didn't seem like it was going to rain, but he didn't refuse. He took the thing over, lifted the cloth bag and took a look. There were indeed a few yellowed steamed buns inside.

"Okay, I'll take it out. You can wait for me to come back at home and don't go out and run around."

As soon as he said that, Xia Yuan found that he had inadvertently used the tone of talking to the child again.

"Um."

Fortunately, Zhao Yuerong didn't care, but instead responded sweetly and sent Xia Yuan all the way to the gate of the yard.

At this time, the sky was already bright. Xia Yuan walked forward for a while, turned his head and could still see the small figure at his doorstep.

The little girl leaned against the door frame, watching herself.

What is this? The husband is worried about his wife who is thousands of miles away?

Although the little girl looks a little tender, she looks very good as a wife.

Xia Yuan felt a warm feeling inexplicably, and he waved to her.

The small figure also raised his slender arms and waved at him.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan couldn't help laughing, turned his head and continued to walk forward. The villagers got up early and met many people along the way, all of whom greeted him.

He also responded one by one that Xiajiazhuang is located in the east of Daxing, about thirty miles away from the capital. If you rely on your two feet alone, you will probably have to walk for two or three hours.

Today is not a day for the market, otherwise we can still go to the entrance of the village to get a donkey cart. According to Xia Yuan's understanding, every time the market arrives, the entrance of the village becomes a bus stop. As for the donkey cart, it is equivalent to a bus.

Xia Yuan held the steamed bun in his hand and walked forward silently while gnawing. He had already made up his mind to walk to the capital. It was early anyway, and it was noon when he walked over. It was summer again, and it was dark late.

I can go there until three or four o'clock in the afternoon before going home.

As he was thinking, a tiny sound of footsteps came. Xia Yuan looked at him and saw a little girl about seven or eight years old in a garment leading a cow by her way through not far away. When she turned her head to look at him, she looked timid.

That timid expression was exactly the same as that of his young wife.

Unfortunately, in terms of appearance, although they are both loli, their little loli has a pretty face and cute face, with a little dry figure. In addition to being a little shriveled, they are simply the best little goldfish in the eyes of strangers.

Of course, the skin color may not be very fair and has a little yellowish, but that is purely due to malnutrition.

In this case, as long as you eat well, you can keep it in the air for a winter.

And this younger loli can only barely be considered as having a slight facial features, dark skin, and more snot on her face.

With the memory of her predecessor, Xia Yuan naturally recognized who this little girl was. She has no name yet. Everyone in the village called her Erniu. Her profession was to help Xia Caizhu's family in the west of the village herd cattle.

A promising profession is in line with the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, the cows that Lao Zhu put were from Liu Caizhu's family, while the cows she put were from Xia Caizhu's family.

He looked at the little loli with no potential to be charming. The little loli was also looking at him, to be precise, staring at the steamed buns in Xia Yuan's hand, with envious eyes and swallowing with great difficulty.

Xia Yuan looked down at the steamed buns in his hand, then waved to Erniu with a smile, "Erniu, come here!"

"do what?"

"Don't ask, it's a good thing."

Hearing this, Erniu looked at him for a while, then hesitated and moved over step by step with the cow.

Seeing the little girl coming over, Xia Yuan smiled even more kindly, as if he was trying to kidnap the little loli to see the monster mugwort.

Then he sucked it left and right in the cloth bag, and took out two yellowed steamed buns.

Looking at the two big yellow steamed buns, Erniu's eyes widened and she swallowed even harder.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yuan smiled more and more amiable. He handed over the two yellow steamed buns and said, "Give it, take it to eat."

"Give it to me?" Erniu opened her eyes wide, looking a little disbelief.

"Yes, let's take it for you."

Erniu stared at the steamed bun for a while, then looked around and found that there was no one nearby, so she reached out to take the steamed bun and said timidly: "Thank you, Brother Yuan."

Seeing the snot girl staring at the two steamed buns in her hand, looking so happy that she couldn't believe it, Xia Yuan felt a little moved, touched the little girl's head, and turned around and left.
