Gulan never doubted the confirmed for household registration. Although they had known each other for a short time, it was obvious from what Brother Jin showed that he was not a man who did not keep his word.
The occasional dignity he exuded also showed that his identity was not ordinary. Gulan knew all this. Part of what she said was an excuse, but more of it was because she didn't want to be confused. After all, although Yunzhou was good, it was also more difficult to survive in a big city, and it was indeed very far away. At their speed, it would take at least a month or two to arrive there. By then, it would be freezing cold, and the hardships on the journey would increase exponentially. It was true that he wanted her to follow him back to Yunzhou, and perhaps it was also true that he wanted to repay her for saving his life, but it was probably also true that he wanted her to cover for him.
"Brother Jin, why are you so sure? Have you remembered everything, or..." Gulan didn't say the last sentence, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.
Xiang Yunjin smiled lightly, and his temperament changed, exuding an air of nobility that was superior to others. His face was calm, and his sparkling peach blossom eyes looked at Gulan intently, "What do you think?"
"In short, don't worry, what you're worried about won't happen. Although I have selfish motives, I won't joke with your lives. And you must have heard the saying that wealth and honor are sought in danger. In order to give AnAn a better life, this risk is worth taking. The most important thing is that you should be confident in your disguise skills, and I trust you very much."
When Gulan hear the words "I trust you", her heart moved slightly, and she looked at Brother Jin with a flickering look in her eyes. Although there was not a single word about his identity in her words, her sudden change in temperament acknowledged that his identity was not ordinary. Being stared at like this by a pair of foul peach blossom eyes, the darkness in their eyes like a deep pool made Gulan suddenly look away.
I instantly decided that when I disguise for him tomorrow, I must completely change the shape of this pair of peach blossoms, so I'll just make it a triangle. Gulan stretched out her legs and said nothing for a while, her eyes cast into the dark night, calculating whether the silver in her hand was enough to buy a house in Yunzhou City. The housing prices in the provincial capital should be very high!
She had more than 3,000 taels of silver notes and some gold. One tael was equivalent to 1,000 yuan in her own era, 100 taels was equivalent to 100,000 yuan, and 1,000 taels was more than 1 million yuan.
Yunzhou is remote from capital, so the housing prices are naturally different from those in the provincial capitals around capital, which are equivalent to their third- and fourth-tier provincial capitals. After this calculation, Gulan had an idea in her mind. This silver should be enough. In that case, why not go to the provincial capital.
As this guy said, the state government is indeed much better than the county government. For the sake of her son, she should choose it. Besides, there is someone to protect her. In this era, the difference between having a backer and not having one is huge. Gulan also wanted to save some money for her future life before the Jin State fell into chaos. How could Gulan really refuse such a good opportunity?
"Okay, let's go to Yunzhou." Gulan pulled her legs back and said to the person sitting next to her.
Xiang Yunjin withdrew his eyes from looking at the curtain, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He knew that Gulan would definitely make the right choice.
"In that case, I'll have to rely on you to take care of me along the way." Having achieved his goal, Xiang Yunjin felt relaxed all over and said to Gulan with a smile on his face.
"No problem." Gulan glanced at the guy, then looked at Brother Jin steadily, "But shouldn't you tell me your real name? Don't say you don't know it?"
"Xiang Yunjin" Xiang Yunjin was very straightforward at this time.
"Xiang, your last name is quite unique, and Yunjin sounds nice too, but..."
"What?" Xiang Yunjin thought Gulan had discovered her identity, and asked hurriedly with a flash of her eyes.
"No, I heard that the children of your wealthy families all like to take names. Do you have one, Brother Jin?" Gulan suddenly thought of this and couldn't help asking curiously.
"Jinzhi" uttered these two words to Yunjin in a funny way, realizing that he had misunderstood.
Yes, Gulan escaped from Linzhou due to the disaster, so it was normal that he had not heard of his name. There were so many people with the same name, so he was just overthinking it.
"Good name". Although she didn't know what was good about it, it was right to praise it.
"It's getting late, let's take a rest." Gulan looked up at the sky and said.
"Well, you should also go to bed early." Xiang Yunjin nodded. Having achieved his goal and in a good mood, he stepped into the carriage without any consciousness of giving up the carriage.
Gulan tidied up the bedding, called her son who had been playing with Daya and Erya, and after a quick wash, she hugged her son and got into bed. The night sky was pitch black, with no stars in sight. There was a slight hint of moisture in the air, which made Gulan feel uneasy as she lay down with her arms around her son. She sat up immediately.
Although the resting place was chosen at a slightly higher terrain and under a tree, the sun had not been seen today, the air was gloomy and humid, and based on her experience, she was afraid that it would really rain at night. After telling his son to stay under the covers and not come out, Gulan still got up.
I sighed, thinking back to the time when I had cell phones. I could check the weather for half a month straight, so I could prepare in advance without having to guess based on experience. It was extremely convenient.
What a pity...
"Brother Jin, are you asleep?" Gulan shouted.
"No, is there something wrong?" Xiang Yunjin opened his eyes.
"Yeah, I came in to get something."
"Okay," he sat up.
Then a dark shadow entered the cart, carefully avoiding the bedding spread in the cart, and reached out her arm familiarly to a roll of oilcloth placed at the end of the cart.
"It's okay, you can continue to rest." Gulan said with a hint of apology.
"No, I haven't slept yet." Xiang Yunjin glanced at the things in Gulan's hand, "What are you doing with these?"
"These..." Gulan smiled softly, but unfortunately he couldn't see clearly in the dark. "I'm going to set up a tent. I feel like it's going to rain tonight, so I'd better take precautions." Today's weather is really not very good. It has been gloomy all day. It's time to make preparations in advance.
"Let me help you." Xiang Yunjin picked up the clothes on the bedding and put them on with a rustling sound.
"No need, I can handle it myself." Gulan didn't want to trouble Xiang Yunjin. After all, this guy's injuries had not healed yet.
"It's okay, I'll just lend a hand, and you can go faster." As he spoke, the clothes had already been put on. Seeing this, Gulan no longer insisted, and the two of them got out of the cart one after another.
Originally, she was thinking of simply setting up a small tent. Now with the help of Brother Jin, there was plenty of oilcloth, so Gulan prepared to build a slightly larger one.
"Brother Jin, please look after the kids here and i will go cut some bamboos over there."
Gulan pointed in a direction. When she came here, she saw a small bamboo forest there. Not far away, only a few hundred meters away, it was just right for supporting the tent.
Xiang Yunjin nodded immediately, knowing that Gulan would not let the children stay here alone, even if Dahei was guarding them. After instructing Dahei to watch carefully, Gulan took out an axe from the carriage and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Xiang Yunjin sat beside the cute little boy AnAn who was lying in bed, stroked the little guy's furry head and told him to go to sleep first.
