After setting up the carriage, Xue Yan helped Jiang Yue into it. Then, he carefully drove the carriage. Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou insisted on sending them to the village entrance.
The cities around Lizhou were much further away from Stone Village than Dianhe County. After saying goodbye, Xue Yan did not go too fast because Jiang Yue was pregnant. They only arrived at the prefectural city at night.
Therefore, he did not go to the nearby government office to find an inn. He directly found the closest inn to stay the night.
Xue Yan brought Jiang Yue to their room to rest. Then, he asked the innkeeper about the exact location of the office in the city. He also asked about who he was looking for to rent a courtyard in the city, and who he was looking for in the city. He also asked about hiring people and carriages… And so on.
