Chapter Thirty-Six: Staying in a Black Shop
Just when everyone in the palace was looking for the queen mother, Yue Xi was already walking slowly with the donkey treasure on the way to the imperial capital.
She descended the mountain when she was bright, and she took a winding mountain road with a small slope.
As early as when she returned to the palace, she had already quietly observed the surroundings of the palace.
At that time, when she climbed up the mountain step by step, she thought that there would be a road leading up the mountain with carriages and horses.
Since ancient times, the emperor has been known as the golden branch and jade leaf, and the body is also extraordinarily expensive, people like them come to the palace to live in the summer, and they will never climb up by themselves.
So under her attention, she really found the mountain road that had long been deserted, next to the wide platform in front of the palace, and the dirt road was hidden by weeds and trees on both sides.
Holding the donkey Baoqi quietly on this road, it took more than an hour to walk, because it was all downhill, although the slope was not large, Yue Xi did not dare to ride the donkey down, lest the donkey make her fall off her back, and directly 'sent' down the mountain......
The mountain road is very long, and by the time a man and a donkey come down from the mountain, they have already connected to the official road.
The palace is on the west side of the imperial capital, so Yue Xi sits on the back of a donkey and walks towards the sun.
The late autumn morning sun wasn't strong but still dazzling, and she squinted, pondering as she surveyed the surrounding landscape.
Yesterday, a pot of dog meat stewed in the palace made a kind of person satisfied, but Yue Xi didn't even drink the broth, and everyone thought she was losing her temper for this when she saw her calm face and was silent.
And the truth is, she has no appetite for the dog meat in the face of it.
Thinking of Su Jinyan's reminder twice: 'Niangniang, your internal organs have been injured and you must slowly recuperate to recover', Yue Xi finally paid attention to his body.
I thought that the body would heal itself without medicine in a few days, but seeing that the water and rice were not going in, she understood that she had to see a doctor.
The origin of the imperial doctor Su in the palace is unknown, and she can't believe it. And she didn't know where to look at a serious doctor. After thinking about it, Yue Xi felt that it was better to go to the imperial capital to inquire about reliability.
From the palace to the imperial capital, it takes more than a day to walk, so when it was dark, Yue Xi stayed in a very simple inn on the side of the road early.
The location of the inn is good, it is a place where there is no store in front of the village, so the business is prosperous, and the customers come and go is also lively.
Yue Xi asked for a guest room before entering, and the innkeeper with horizontal meat on his face entered the door with the food, and put it on the grease and twist table in the room like a fierce look, and did not ask Yue Xi if he wanted to quote the price in a rough voice: Twenty Wen for burning, twenty Wen for a bowl of white porridge, and then counting this bowl of stewed cabbage, a total of 100 Wen, settle the bill before noon to calculate one day's store money, and after noon, count two days! The meal money should be settled together with the store money, and no credit will be paid!
After the forced purchase and forced sale, without waiting for Yue Xi's reply, the shopkeeper turned around and came out, hooked the door panel with his foot, and closed the door with a 'bang'!
Walking to the table, Yue Xi picked up the baked cakes on the plate and looked at them, and compared them with the sesame baked cakes with oil and salt he bought in the town yesterday, it was really different! She vaguely felt that she had entered a black shop.
The black shop was completely black, and at night, the man with a sideways face didn't even send a lamp to Yue Xi.
Helpless, she had to lie on the bed in the dark and fall asleep early.
Tossing and turning before going to bed, Yue Xi thought that the owner of the inn had no morals, and made it clear that he was relying on his strength not to bully the guests who stayed in the hotel.
Such a person is simply a bandit bully!
Naturally, such a black store can't stay for long. The next day, Yue Xi got up early and took the donkey on the road without a sound, because he felt that he was a victim, so he didn't give anyone money to settle the house......
The shopkeeper is really black, this baked cake is as hard as a discus, and he dares to ask for twenty yuan, why didn't he grab it...... Nagging to himself, Yue Xi broke the baked cakes he brought out of the inn into pieces and fed them to the donkey.
He folded the quilt sheet that he had also brought out of the black shop into long strips and put it on the donkey's back, and Yue Xi rode the donkey on his way.
In this way, when it was just past noon, she finally walked into the gate of the capital of the Jokhang Emperor.
Looking up at the sky, it was time for lunch, and although Yue Xi was not hungry, he still stepped into a clean-looking restaurant.
The more she can't eat, the more stubborn she goes to the restaurant, it seems that only in this way can she prove that she is a healthy and normal person, not a monster who doesn't eat or drink!
There are not many customers in the restaurant, and there are a few tables scattered around the restaurant.
As soon as Yue Xi stood at the door, a guy came over to greet him with a smiling face, she nodded, stood there with her hands in her hands, glanced at the situation inside, and inadvertently stared at her eyes: Isn't this the son-in-law!
At a table against the wall, Zheng Baocai was about to drink a glass of wine in his hand, when he turned his head and saw Yue Xi coming in from outside the door, and the eyes of the two people were met, and they were both stunned! No one expected to meet each other here.
Come and sit. Zheng Baocai put down his wine glass and beckoned to her: when he was eating, there was no spare table.
Yue Xi didn't shirk either, walked over and sat opposite Zheng Baocai generously, touched him and grinned: When Lao Tzu saw you last time, although you said that you were a flower head, you were dressed neatly and decently. Now this is a disaster?
Zheng Baocai, who was sitting opposite, looked haggard, and the clothes on his body had not been changed for many days, and there were all kinds of stains and wrinkles on the placket, and he really had a bit of beggar charm!
Alas, don't mention it! Zheng Baocai smiled bitterly, touched his bearded chin and said: Isn't it thanks to you!
Oh? Yue Xi pretended to be surprised: Tell me, Lao Tzu wants to hear how you have anything to do with me now that you are dirty and smelly like a savage
Alas! Zheng Baocai sighed again: It's hard to say! What a mouth......
Zheng Baocai suddenly saw Yue Xi as if he was seeing a relative, and he admired Yue Xi being a man who was better than him, so he didn't care about the fact that his house was ransacked.
The weak eat the strong, since ancient times, they have been the kings and the losers, and the surname Zheng is convinced. It's just that I didn't expect the consequences to be strict after this incident: my wife saw that she was not even as good as a donkey, so she was heartbroken, and secretly took her son back to her parents' house, and her father was also suspicious, and always felt that her son was not like herself, so she pulled him to look in the mirror together......
You say that you lack virtue or not, can you talk nonsense about those things? I lived to be thirty years old, and I became my mother's wild seed for stealing life, who do you want me to reason with?
