Chapter 198: People are lost
One night, the two of them drank tea and chatted, and talked about many things about the winery and Huichuntang. The more they talked about Zhu Yunmo, the more they felt, the more they were. When they fell asleep, they were almost three o'clock in the morning.
When he got up in the morning, Sheng'er ran upstairs, trying to find Zhou Heng, but was grabbed by Liu Xiu'er and covered his mouth to signal him to a lighter voice.
"Don't be naughty, Brother Zhou discussed with the prince for a night last night. He just fell asleep in the morning. As soon as you got up, you couldn't sleep."
Sheng'er pouted, shaking her fleshy hands, and her cheeks were also shaking due to this action.
"Okay, Brother Zhou is tired, so let's sleep for a while. I'll go find him later, but how did Sister Xiu'er know that Brother Zhou is not sleeping?"
Liu Xiu'er's face turned red, Chuntao rushed over and raised her hand to intimidate Sheng'er.
"Boy, just make a fuss. Wake up your brother later, and you're good-looking."
Sheng'er quickly jumped to Liu Xiu'er and stuck out his tongue at Chuntao.
"I'm not afraid. Brother Zhou is my brother and I'm definitely reluctant to hit me. Sister Xiu'er hasn't answered me yet?"
Liu Xiu'er rubbed Sheng'er's head. She knew that this child was competing for favor. He was afraid of losing Zhou Heng. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that they were suffering.
"The shopkeeper downstairs said that the servant who was serving last night had just gone to rest, and the upstairs also told him not to disturb him. Let's go down and have fun."
Sheng'er thought about it and then held Liu Xiu'er's hand.
"Sister Xiu'er, otherwise we can eat first, okay? I feel a little hungry."
Chuntao cleared his throat, "Ahem, who was you just now? You stole a piece of peach pastry and a piece of oil cake?"
Sheng'er pouted and raised her chin, not showing any weakness at all.
"Brother Zhou said that I am growing now, so it's nothing to eat more, just eat less at night."
Chuntao curled her lips, "You can do it, your belly is full of flesh."
Sheng'er pulled Liu Xiu'er's hand, "Sister Xiu'er goes, let's go for a meal, and then practice calligraphy, and don't teach Sister Chuntao."
Boss Xue drove the carriage into the city. This place was not Qingping County. He didn't dare to let the carriage run quickly, so he could only walk slowly on the road.
Take out a big cake from your arms, take a bite and chew it hard. The people on the farm were all settled well.
Although the place is a bit narrow, it is very warm. The cylinder of wine has been sealed and started to ferment, and they brought a lot of raw liquid.
However, I continued to buy various grains here, and after steaming, the koji was added and fermented again. As long as the temperature was appropriate, it would take less than a few days to distillate.
Thinking of drinking in a few days, Boss Xue couldn't help but take another bite of the cold pancake.
The carriage came to the door of the Ning Prince's Mansion, and he tied the reins and jumped out of the car.
He pulled off the hat on his head and walked to the doorman's seat. A servant had heard the sound and walked out. Boss Xue showed a rare smile.
"Brother opens the door, I'll go back to the East Cluster Courtyard. Our young master came back with the prince. Do you remember me?"
The man looked up and down at Boss Xue, looking at the man with big and thick face, and seemed familiar, but now that the prince is not even in the palace, how could he let him in?
"I don't know, there is no one you are looking for in the palace, let's go!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to go back. Boss Xue was stunned. What did he mean?
I went out last night, so I won’t let it in?
Or wasn't you polite enough just now?
Seeing that the servant was about to go in, he grabbed the servant's arm. His hand was about the size of a palm fan, and he grabbed the servant's arm. The servant screamed in an instant.
"How can you, a rough country man, hurt people? Let go, it hurts me so much."
Boss Xue was stunned and quickly let go of his hand. He was a little stunned at this time. Everyone in the city was so good at playing, but he just grabbed it lightly, and didn't use any strength, let alone pick it up. Why did he scream in pain?
Hearing the roar, many servants and guards rushed out and surrounded Boss Xue. One of the guards' clothes was different from others, and he looked at Boss Xue angrily.
"Who are you and why are you causing trouble in front of the Ning Prince's Mansion?"
Boss Xue put his hat on his waist, tidied up his robe, pointed to the embroidered spring word on his collar and said:
"Have you heard of Huichuntang? The Huichuntang in Qingping County, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Provincial Administration, is the clinic where the emperor praised for his contribution to disaster relief. I am the one who came with the prince and my son the night before yesterday. I just came back from outside the city. Why don't you let me in if you want to enter? As soon as I asked, I shook my face. There is no one I want to find, so I asked about the person. You call me first. It's not that hard for me to talk to the prince in Qingping County. Why do you think you are inferior?"
Boss Xue was really angry and stared at the guard without showing any weakness. The man had already understood the whole story, looked at the boy in the doorman warningly, walked to Boss Xue, clasped his fists and said:
"Don't panic, this brother, we are also looking for the prince. Yesterday, it seemed that the prince and his wife had some misunderstandings. The prince decided to move out and then left with all the people from Qingping County. No one has been found yet."
Boss Xue was instantly panicked when he heard this, and his mind was full of three words. There was no need to ask that he was being run away.
He looked at the people surrounding him, and without saying a word, he turned around and jumped into the carriage, searching for him in a daze on the street, and became more and more anxious as he walked.
This is the capital city, where the emperor stays. He is now in a dark way, and he doesn't know wherever he is. Before he knows it, he seems to be walking near the palace gate.
Boss Xue was shocked and quickly tied the reins. This was not a joke. He jumped out of the car and wanted to ask someone where the larger inns in the capital were.
After looking at it for a long time, I didn't meet anyone. I glanced at the surroundings and slapped myself hard. This is the one in front of the imperial city. Who dares to live here? I sighed and jumped into the carriage and turned the direction of the carriage.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard something happening inside the palace gate.
With the sound, a group of people came out, all of whom were guards riding horses, and a eunuch held a bright yellow scroll in the middle.
Boss Xue's eyes lit up. He had seen this thing once. When he was named Liu Renli Guaner, he was such a thing.
Boss Xue subconsciously followed the team forward because they avoided wherever they passed, and there was almost no one behind them.
The more the team walked, the narrower and remote the surrounding streets became. Boss Xue was a little confused. Where else would the imperial edict be sent to?
It happened that an old man was buying vegetables on the side of the road. He jumped out of the car and asked:
"Old man, I'll ask you, is there any big inn around here? Can you stay at a time if you can have sixty or seventy people at once?"
The old man glanced at Boss Xue, and his Shandong accent made the old man stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to feel a little kind of intimate.
"You are from Shandong?"
Boss Xue nodded, "Yes, I am from Shandong, from Qingping County, Jinan Prefecture. I just came to the capital before. I can't find anyone anymore. I'll think about it and find it."
The old man pointed at the way the guards riding horses passed.
"See, there is a one on that road. It's not an expensive inn. The place is big enough. It just seemed to be closed yesterday. I don't know if something happened or the full staff."
Boss Xue bowed to the old man, "Thank you, my uncle, I'll go over and take a look, by the way, how did you sell this dish?"
The old man pointed to the two baskets of green radish and two baskets of cabbage on the ground and said:
"I have too many dishes stored at home and want to use the cellar, so I'll sell them out. Just look at it and give it some."
Boss Xue squatted down and took a look. The radish and cabbage were stored very well. He was afraid that the vegetables would be frozen and covered with a worn quilt on it. This is not a casual sale.
He stood up and handed the old man a handful of money, which was probably more than 800 copper coins.
"You can keep it, it's just like this. This dish is good and looks crispy."
When the old man saw Lele, he quickly helped Mr. Xue load the food into the car. Mr. Xue drove the car and chased the people. Then he looked at the copper coins in his hand carefully and was stunned for a moment. A rough count of hundreds of words. A man beside him leaned over and said with emotion:
"Dad Xu, you met a good person."
Mr. Xu nodded vigorously, "Yes, this is a good man. I won't say anything. I'll go back to the farm first and then pick some vegetables. All the laborers in the farm have gone to build roads. It is said that the cellars must be requisitioned, so there is no way to sell the vegetables. It's better to lose less damage."
Boss Xue didn't hear what happened later. He rushed to the inn and had already arrived at the inn. Before he got off the bus, he saw many horses and several guards in front of the door.
