Chapter 5 Entering the Palace

After leaving Pei County, watching the distance from home, there were soft cries in the carriage.

The group of people spent another day and arrived at the post station in Xuzhou, the provincial capital. People from several other counties came to gather here one after another.

After waiting for a day, the collection was finally completed. A total of ten large carriages set off for the capital from the official post.

It used to be a relatively spacious carriage for 10 people, but now it is crowded with 20 people, which seems very crowded.

Each car is accompanied by a father-in-law in charge. The father-in-law of Lin Jiabao and his car, surnamed Zhao, is about 35 years old, not tall, and very thin. His expression is very serious, and he is also very strict to them. Everyone is afraid of him.

Along the way, everyone gradually became familiar with each other. Especially those who come from one place, most of them form small groups. Lin Jiabao was the only one who came out of Pei County, and was vaguely excluded. Lin Jiabao also didn't take the initiative to come forward, obediently obeying the arrangement of his father-in-law. Eunuch Zhao saw that he was doing his duty, so he treated him kindly.

After walking for nearly half a month on the road, they finally arrived at the post station on the outskirts of the capital.

This inn is very large, and there are already many carriages parked in the stable. People from all over the country gather here.

"Get out of the carriage and take your things. Don't talk, don't look around, follow me."

Everyone got out of the carriage, didn't rush to talk, and followed with their heads down. Eunuch Zhao took them to a room in Datongpu to settle down. . There are several basins of clean water in the house, let them wash their faces and wash their hands. After that, I took them to have dinner, and each gave them a bowl of polenta and a thick noodle nest. Although simple, it is much better than the dry food pancakes along the way. I was very hungry at the end of the day, and everyone devoured everything. Eunuch Zhao asked them to go to the toilet again, then took them back to Datong Shop and locked the door. After everyone entered the house, they rushed to get their berths first, and those from the same village also helped each other to occupy a favorable position. Lin Jiabao is small and weak. Immediately he was pushed to the door.







Lin Jiabao didn't want to compete with them either, so he hugged his little bundle and slept on the outermost position of the bed.

"Hey, get to sleep. Don't lean against me!" The girl sleeping next to her said fiercely to Lin Jiabao.

This girl also came from the Lin Family Village, and she spoke very badly towards Lin Jiabao. He looked at him as if it was something dirty.

Lin Jiabao didn't speak, but moved his body towards the door.

We were very tired after a day, and everyone soon fell asleep.

The next day, Eunuch Zhao woke them up before dawn, and after breakfast, they got into the carriage again.

The carriage entered the capital city and stopped at the imperial city. After getting off the carriage, everyone was shocked by the majestic city wall.

Lin Jiabao looked at the vermilion city wall, it was very high, and the city wall stretched on and on without end. In the morning light, the palace with red walls and yellow tiles is extraordinarily solemn. Today is the day when the palace people enter the palace, and the Xuanwu Gate opens early.
