The Fight in the Wen Mansion Chapter 43 Yongzhou
Wen Qiuyun and his entourage continued to hurry on their way and arrived outside Yongzhou City on the second day after leaving customs.
But at this time, night fell and the city gate was closed. The three of them checked into a private hotel outside the city gate. The hotel was full of tourists who also had a temporary rest and were preparing to enter the city the next day.
Although Yongzhou is a fortress sandwiched between Ding'an and Luozhou, its economic development level is still far behind the two.
For example, the food quality and hygiene level at the hotel at the gate of Yongcheng City are the worst in our journey, but it is better than nothing, and no matter how bad it is, it is still better than living in the wilderness.
At the same time, Wen Qiuyun felt that it was not necessary to spend his own money anyway, so he could continue to eat the most expensive meals and sleep in the best private rooms.
Wen Qiuyun specially ordered a stewed duck to warm his body, and Lin Xiuyuan also ate it with gusto.
Although he was tired from traveling and running around all these days, under Wen Qiuyun's care, Lin Xiuyuan took medicine twice a day and was in a cheerful mood, so his health became better.
After spending this time together, Wen Qiuyun also understood Mo Ran's appetite and knew that no matter how many dishes he ordered, he could finish them all.
And Wen Qiuyun discovered a small detail: Mo Ran only has a big appetite when he is relaxed. If he gets nervous, he won't eat anything.
After Wen Qiuyun was full, he went back to his room to have a good rest, and prepared to discuss with Mo Ran about taking a stroll in Yongzhou City the next day.
At dawn the next day, Wen Qiuyun woke up early.
In fact, her body had almost recovered, but she still pretended to be very weak. She waited until Mo Ran knocked on the door, then got up and went out, slowly going downstairs.
This time entering the city was the smoothest of the journey. The guard on duty took a brief look and let them in.
Yongzhou City has now become a transit point between the two cities. The city is not big, but there are many teahouses, taverns, hotels and guesthouses. It seems that there are more than private houses. There is an endless stream of merchants leading horse teams coming and going.
Rest here.
Mo Ran figured out Wen Qiuyun's preferences and specially selected the largest city and the best inn in Yongzhou to stay.
After Wen Qiuyun and Lin Xiuyuan got off the carriage and walked into the restaurant, Mo Ran said to them, "We will stay in Yongzhou for three to five days. When you are well, we will set off again."
Wen Qiuyun looked at Mo Ran in surprise. She really didn't expect that he would be so considerate.
However, she was not stupid enough to be polite to Mo Ran and let go of this opportunity to delay time.
Mo Ran said to Wen Qiuyun again, "If you are bored, take Ayuan around this city and show him the world."
Wen Qiuyun was surprised again. He originally planned to deal with Mo Ran to gain some free time.
Unexpectedly, he actually offered to let them wander around. Maybe Mo Ran had been eavesdropping on their conversation and felt that Lin Xiuyuan's lack of experience in society was too embarrassing, so he wanted him to see more.
But no matter what the purpose was, Wen Qiuyun's view of Mo Ran changed, because he really treated Lin Xiuyuan well, so Wen Qiuyun joked to Mo Ran, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with him?"
Mo Ran replied calmly, "Don't be afraid, I will catch you if you run away. But the rest of the journey won't be as comfortable as it is now."
Wen Qiuyun raised his eyebrows and went straight upstairs without replying.
Wen Qiuyun finally stayed in an inn with better conditions. The facilities and services were first-class, and she felt very comfortable.
After spending the past few days sleeping in the open air and suddenly living the life of a city dweller, Wen Qiuyun decided to take a bath and freshen up first. At the same time, he also arranged for a waiter to help Lin Xiuyuan bathe and change clothes.
In Dakang, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy. Wen Qiuyun simply said that menstruation was coming, and the store had all the items for women to deal with menstruation. Although it was not as exquisite as Ding'an, it was better than nothing.
Wen Qiuyun is quite familiar with the service level of this store in Yongzhou. He stayed there several times when he was traveling between Ding'an and Luozhou in his previous life.
After cleaning up, Wen Qiuyun came to Lin Xiuyuan's room and found that he looked radiant and majestic after taking a bath and changing clothes.
I don’t know since when, Wen Qiuyun felt that Lin Xiuyuan had undergone a big change, and that his spiritual core had undergone a qualitative change.
His whole person seemed to suddenly become alive, making his temperament completely different from before. However, this was a good thing after all. It probably had something to do with her, but she didn't want to delve into it at the moment.
It was already afternoon. After eating and drinking, Wen Qiuyun wanted to take Lin Xiuyuan for a walk.
The service of this inn is really good. Not only did it provide a wheelchair, but it also sent a boy to push Lin Xiuyuan to walk.
Of course, good service also comes at a good price. After reading the bill, Wen Qiuyun didn't feel any guilt at all.
Mo Ran seemed to be busy with something and had disappeared long ago.
When Lin Xiuyuan saw Wen Qiuyun, he was a little happy and a little embarrassed and said, "Miss Wen, Uncle Mo gave me a bag of gold beads. He asked me to buy something for you. You can buy whatever you want, as long as you are happy.
"
Wen Qiuyun laughed at Lin Xiuyuan's honest and honest look, "You idiot, how come you have to repeat what Uncle Mo taught you?"
For a moment, Wen Qiuyun felt that the distance between the two of them was too close, so she threw away the titles of "Miss Wen" and "Mr. Lin". There seemed to be countless ambiguous feelings in her curse, so she immediately ended the conversation, turned around and walked out.
The boy's name was Xiao Huang. He looked at her very quickly and pushed Lin Xiuyuan to follow him.
Although Lin Xiuyuan was scolded, his heart felt as sweet as honey.
The two of them walked on the street, looking here and there, and had a great time.
Wen Qiuyun knew the layout of Yongzhou very well. Xiao Huang originally wanted to lead the way and introduce it, but now it is completely useless.
After a while, the three of them came to a clothing store.
The boy couldn't help but admired, "Madam, you have good eyesight. This ready-to-wear shop is the best in Yongzhou City. The styles are fashionable and the prices are high."
Wen Qiuyun was stunned when she heard Xiao Huang call herself "Madam".
But later he realized that he and Lin Xiuyuan were pretending to be husband and wife, not to be called madam.
It's just that the last time she was called madam was so long ago that it reminded her of the days when she was the second young lady in the Lin Mansion.
Wen Qiuyun was still lost in thought, but the clerk in the clothing store had already gone out to attract customers.
A woman who was about forty years old came. She was passionate and eloquent, and she enthusiastically pulled Wen Qiuyun in.
The woman was eloquent and spoke eloquently. She only focused on Wen Qiuyun's promotion, but ignored the real sheep like Lin Xiuyuan, a customer who was inexperienced in the world.
Wen Qiuyun didn't listen to her recommendations for women's clothing in various styles, and walked straight towards men's clothing.
Nowadays in Dakang, it has become popular for women to wear men's clothing. Wen Qiuyun wanted to choose a men's outfit for herself, which would be more convenient for traveling.
The woman just thought it was Wen Qiuyun who wanted to choose clothes for Lin Xiuyuan, and immediately introduced her eloquently, "Lang Junsheng has a good appearance. Madam, you can take a look at this round-neck robe made of Jiangnan silk and satin. The fabric is smooth, and when you put it on, your whole body is luxurious.
There is also this narrow-sleeved Hufu, which is well-fitting and very convenient for walking and playing.”
"I want to choose a men's suit for me." Wen Qiuyun said lightly.
The woman didn't feel embarrassed at all, and immediately changed the subject, "The men's clothes Madam wears are also available in small stores, and we can also make them tailor-made for you. Let's buy them here."
However, after hearing Wen Qiuyun's words, Lin Xiuyuan was surprised. She also thought Wen Qiuyun was going to buy him clothes, but it turned out not to be the case. At this moment, she felt a sense of loneliness and boredom in her heart.
Wen Qiuyun chose an ordinary-style lapel Hu suit and asked the woman to take it to the back room to try it on.
After a while, a woman with a bun on her head, a slim robe, and black boots came out.
At the same time, the collar, sleeves and placket of the robe are decorated with quilts, quilts and other brocade edges. Although the fabric is ordinary, it gives off an air of wealth and nobility after wearing it.
I saw that Wen Qiuyun was tall and tall, with a calm demeanor and a graceful and heroic spirit. He looked agile, capable and heroic.
When the woman saw it, she immediately praised, "Madam, you are really discerning. When you put it on, you look like a handsome young man."
Wen Qiuyun was very satisfied with this outfit, but he noticed that Lin Xiuyuan next to him had a strange emotion, and after thinking about it, he figured out the reason.
So she also picked out a set of clothes similar to hers and asked Xiao Huang to change into them for Lin Xiuyuan.
Lin Xiuyuan's complexion immediately improved when he saw Wen Qiuyun buying him clothes.
Wen Qiuyun asked him, "Do you think it looks good?"
Lin Xiuyuan giggled again and said, "It looks good, it looks good, anything you choose will look good."
Wen Qiuyun only felt that Lin Xiuyuan was not so stupid in the previous life. Is it because he is not taking enough medicine now? He still needs to take it for a few more years?
When they both put on similar men's clothes and leaned together like brothers, the woman smiled from ear to ear and was full of compliments.
I don’t know if it was because the woman had too many words and her sales pitch was in place, but Wen Qiuyun picked a lot of clothes and didn’t bargain with her on the price.
The woman was very happy and offered door-to-door delivery service. When Wen Qiuyun and others left, they even walked a few steps away, waving to each other reluctantly.
At the next stop, they went to a jewelry store and a cosmetics store. Wen Qiuyun still spent a lot of money on big purchases.
It only takes one afternoon for all the merchants in the neighborhood to know that a rich man has arrived, buying things lavishly and not bargaining.
After Wen Qiuyun and his party came out of the powder shop, it was already getting late and they were both tired, so they returned to the inn to rest.
