Chapter 33 Unpleasant Journey

Chapter 33 Unpleasant Journey
Pan Jun grabbed the rope expressionlessly, trying to stabilize his body, but the car hit several small potholes in a row and bumped up and down.

After falling into a pit with a thud, Pan Yun let go of his hands naturally, and then his whole body was thrown out...

She landed steadily on the ground and stood up. Silver stars flickered in front of her eyes. It took her a while to come back to her senses from the dizziness. When she looked forward, the mule cart had already gone a long way away.

Pan Yun: …

She saw the black cat bobbing up and down on the roof of the car. When it saw her fall to the ground, it screamed and tried to jump out of the car to chase her several times, but found that it could not find a foothold.

Pan Xiaohei: ...

Who would understand? It can walk on the beams of the house as if it were flat ground, and can climb up the ditch under the house, but it cannot jump off a mere mule cart.

Tao Ji heard the sharp cry of the black cat, and he waved the rope while shouting: "Stop crying, it's just this section of the road, it will be flat in front. I asked you to lie in my arms but you don't want to, I don't mind you grabbing people..."

Tao Ji was muttering to himself, and Xuanmiao's heart moved. He suddenly leaned back to look, but Pan Yun, who was sitting behind him, was nowhere to be seen.

Tao Ji was startled, and quickly reined in the mule, jumped off and looked behind the cart, and shouted, "She ran away again!"

"Junior sister, didn't you say you had convinced her? Why did she run away again?"

Xuanmiao: "Shut up, turn around and go back to look for it!"

"Can this still be found?" Although he muttered this, Tao Ji still quickly turned the mule around and hurried back, making the already bumpy car even bumpier.

Fortunately, the black cat jumped down while he stopped the car and ran forward.

Pan Jun walked a few steps along the roadside and felt that there was no need to put herself in such a difficult position, so she found a clean piece of grass to sit down and wait for them to come back.

Tao Ji hurriedly drove the car back and saw Pan Yun sitting obediently on the side of the road. He quickly pulled the mule with a "whoa!" and the two looked at each other across seven or eight small pits.

Tao Ji breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a gentle voice, "Why did you get off the bus?"

Pan Jun had no expression on his face: "What do you think?"

Pan Xiaohei jumped into Pan Yun's arms and meowed at Tao Ji.

Pan Yun finally squeezed in the front with the two of them, holding the black cat. Tao Ji sat in the middle and was squeezed into a ball. He said, "Wait until the next post station, I will reorganize the car and make room for you to sit."

Pan Yun snorted and asked, "Is there nothing to sell in Sanqing Mountain? Why do you want to buy things from such a far place?"

Tao Ji sighed and said, "You will know after you live in the mountains for two years."

Pan Yun had a bad feeling, so he turned around and said to Xuanmiao, "Let's go to the next place. I'm going to send a letter and money to my father."

Xuanmiao agreed after a little thought.

They had been walking for several days and were far away from the capital and Kaifeng Prefecture. No one should be watching them now.

Although she thought so, before Pan Yun went to exchange money, she still did some divination, and only after confirming that it was a good omen did she take Pan Yun to the money house.

"How many silver notes do you want to exchange?"

Pan Jun thought about it and was not sure whether the money could be delivered to them smoothly, so he said, "Change it for 100 taels first."

That is one plate.

The silver is exchanged for silver notes and then asked to be delivered by the bank. Of course, there will be a handling fee.

It was also the first time in Pan Yun's life that she sent money. After asking clearly that there would be a 5% handling fee, she handed all the banknotes to them and took the receipt.

At night, Pan Jun stayed in the inn, worrying about how to write the letter in a way that would not arouse suspicion, but at the same time let her father know that she was her.

Alas, it was her fault that she was too well-behaved in the past eight years and did not agree on any secret code with her father.

Pan Yun could only write: Old Pan, I haven't seen you for many years. The next time I heard from you, I learned that you were exiled to Datong. I was very sad...

Pan Yun wrote a letter in the name of her old friend, telling him that she was now practicing Taoism in the mountains, eating well, living well, and getting healthier day by day. She asked him not to worry and to write to her more often when he had nothing to do, and even more when he had something to say.

In the letter, Pan Yun told him that she had sent money from Changde Money House. He could get the receipt and go to withdraw the money after matching the message.

As for the message, Pan Yun wrote: "It is the name of my poor, lovely, late niece."

When signing his name, Pan Yun paused and then wrote "Sanzhu".

She was always sick when she was a child and was obsessed with spiritual practice. She could neither go out nor wanted to go out.

Her two brothers wanted to take her out to play, but they didn't dare to do so. Faced with such a dilemma, the three siblings often talked about how they would take her out to play after she recovered from her illness.

This world imposes great restrictions on women, especially on women from official families. If they want to have fun outside, it is best to dress up as men.

Her second brother not only prepared boys' clothes and shoes for her, but also gave her many names. Because she was the third child, all the names containing the number three were very unpleasant.

Alas, it’s a bit troublesome to have too many names, but I’ve written them all down. If her two brothers are not fools, they should understand.

Pan Yun also put the receipt into the letter, sealed the envelope, and went to the Minxin Bureau to mail the letter accompanied by Xuanmiao and Tao Ji.

Tao Ji walked beside Pan Yun and reminded her, "Did you write the address of Sanqing Mountain in the letter? There is no private post office at the foot of Sanqing Mountain, only an express delivery shop."

The so-called private post office is a private post office that is very popular in the Jiangnan area. Its outlets are spread all over the country, and they also have a branch in Datong. The delivery of letters is very quick and convenient.

This is a private post office in Guangxin Prefecture. The reason for choosing it instead of the official express delivery shop is just the last test.

She didn't know whether the Jinyiwei in the capital had suspected the Pan family. In the past two months, in order to avoid suspicion, she deliberately avoided contact with the Pan family.

If everything went well, my second uncle should have returned to his hometown in Changzhou Prefecture by now. If not, he might still be stranded in the capital.

Pan Jun looked at Xuan Miao. Xuan Miao looked back at her calmly.

Pan Yun grinned and said flatteringly, "Master Xuanmiao, when we get out of the People's Credit Bureau, how about I treat you to a meal? You have worked so hard these past two months, running around for my safety."

Xuan Miao looked away calmly and quickened his pace, "Let's go."

Tao Ji on the side widened his eyes, quickened his pace and walked one step ahead of Pan Yun, constantly looking back at her.

Pan Jun frowned and glanced at him. He felt annoyed by his hesitation and hesitation, so he quickened his pace and walked past him. "If you have something to say, say it. If you don't want to say it, just shut up."

"Hey," Tao Ji caught up from behind, "What do you mean by shutting your face?"

"The face is for looking at, the mouth is for speaking, but you use your face to speak."

Tao Ji paused for a moment, gathered his strength and chased after her again, saying angrily, "Why did you only invite Junior Sister and not me? I have also been very hardworking in the past two months."

Pan Jun thought for a moment and asked sincerely, "Can you help me find out about my second uncle's family?"

Tao Ji was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "This place is thousands of miles away from the capital, how can I find out?"

Pan Jun: "Then forget it."

Tao Ji reacted and was speechless for a long time. After all this time, it turned out that she had something to ask of her junior sister. No wonder she was an immortal master and invited her to dinner.

However, her junior sister was able to help her find out about the situation of Pan Tao's family.

The post office was very busy. One guy was collecting mail at the counter while others were distributing mail in the back.

The old lady who sent the letter did not write the letter in a standard way. The waiter was helping her rewrite the letter. When he saw Pan Yun and the other two come in, he immediately greeted them warmly, "Please wait a moment, dear guest."

After writing the address on the old lady's envelope, he called out to the three people, "Dear guests, are you sending a letter or something?"

Pan Jun's eyes lit up slightly, "Can you send something else?"

The guy smiled and nodded, "We can send anything here."

Tao Ji immediately stopped her, "Don't send anything unless it's something special. It's very expensive. They have money. What can't they buy there?"

Pan Yun glanced at him and asked, "What if I send someone else to do it?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment and then said, "That's not difficult. There's an escort agency next to us. Where are you going, sir?"

Pan Yun knew what was going on. It would be best to find an escort agency if she was going out. She took out the letter and said, "I'll send the letter."

The guy also entertained her warmly.

Seeing that she had written the address in detail, he calculated the money for her, "From now on to Datong, the wine and spirits fee is 55 coins. Would you like to pay in cash?"

Country bumpkin Pan Yun asked, "What is Haojin?"

The clerk smiled and said, "It means that we guarantee that your letters and belongings will be delivered safely to the recipient. If there are any damages, our credit bureau will compensate you."

He looked at Pan Jun longingly, so was he sending something?
Pan Yun did not send any items, but she still paid the deposit.

The fee for a letter was not much. After receiving the fee, the other party would stamp a stamp of another color on the envelope and put it alone in another box.

Letters with a gold stamp will be distinguished from other letters and given special protection.

Pan Yun was very satisfied and asked, "How many days will it take to reach Datong?"

The waiter smiled and said, "It will take seven days at most. If we are fast, we can arrive in five days."

Pan Yun felt relieved, and after leaving the Minxin Bureau, she looked for a restaurant to treat Xuanmiao to dinner.

Xuan Miao was too lazy to bother, and after knowing what she was thinking, he said directly: "Just give me the money for treating me to dinner, and I'll consider it as a treat."

Pan Jun was confused, "This isn't good, the purpose of treating is to maintain relationships..."

"It's still a long way to Yushan County, and the road is not easy to travel. I don't want to delay any longer. I will go and help you get some information in a moment."

Pan Yun immediately took out the money, smiling like a flower, "Thank you, Master."

She took out a string of money and stuffed it into Xuanmiao's hand. Seeing that she accepted it without hesitation, the smile on her face became even brighter.

Tao Ji looked away without even trying to watch, and Pan Xiaohei also meowed and looked away.

Xuan Miao didn't want to delay and turned around: "I'll go find someone, you guys go eat and buy things, and we'll meet at the mule cart in an hour."

Pan Yun and Tao Ji looked at each other, neither of them wanted to treat the other to a meal, so they turned around and went to the bun shop to buy a few buns and eat them themselves.

Pan Jun ate while walking around. Tao Ji fed Pan Xiaohei a mouthful and kept looking at her, "You look like a rich girl...?"

Pan Yun: "My family is not rich. My father is an imperial censor. We are very poor. We rent a house. We have only one servant. Every month, we have to rely on my second uncle who is a teacher for support. Do you think I look like a child from a rich family?"

Tao Ji nodded, "That's indeed not similar at all."

He looked around and asked, "What on earth are we shopping for? I've already bought everything, so why don't we just go back to the car and wait."

He was very tired from walking all the time.

Pan Yun said, "I want to buy cinnabar."
