Chapter 23: Pear Blossom Town

Half an hour later, Xia Jiuwei and they walked through the barren half-man-wide gravel road, and then entered the smooth yellow dirt road, the carriage also became stable from a swaying state, Xia Jiuwei lifted the curtain and looked ahead, that is the city wall of Pear Blossom Town, a ten-meter-high wall mixed with stone and soil, thick and bulky, getting closer and closer to the town, the more I feel the insignificance of people.

The carriage stopped in front of the town, "Official." It was the voice of the coachman Xiao Qin, Xia Jiuwei saw Xiao Qin take out something that she guessed was probably a pass, the doorman glanced at it, waved his hand, and the carriage slowly moved forward.

Through the door of the town, there was no speed, which made it convenient for Xia Jiuwei to see the outside situation clearly from the carriage, there were not a few people who rode the carriage like them, Pear Blossom Town was more prosperous than she imagined, and this road was also, unlike the dirt used outside, the bluestone slab extended from the door, and the carriage seemed to have a special driving route, each of which was not disturbed, everything was neat and orderly, this was Xia Jiuwei's first impression.

On the other side, the shouts of pedestrians, the shouts of sellers carrying burdens, and the shops on both sides of the street opened Xia Jiu's eyes.

"Lady, there are a lot of people." Liu Ru whispered in Xia Jiuwei's ear, as if she was a little unaccustomed.

Don't say that Liu is like this, even she herself is like a hillbilly entering the city.

"Hmm." Xia Jiuwei responded to Liu Rus, and Yu Guang glanced at Liu Rus's interested eyes.

couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, she had been in the world for a long time, it seemed to be very different from the ancient times she imagined, which simply made Xia Jiu breathe a sigh of relief, at least the woman was still quite free, which was good. Looking at the crowd shuttling back and forth, there are many women mixed in, without veils, and you can clearly see the smiles on their faces.

Xia Jiuwei didn't know if it was because the coachman Xiao Qin was taking the bustling lane in the town, as far as what she saw, she had a good impression.

In her contemplation, Liu Ru pulled Xia Jiuwei's clothes, Xia Jiuwei turned her head, Liu Ru showed her white teeth, and smiled at her.

"Lady, look at the baby." Liu Ru stuffed one hand into Liu Kaiyan's baby's chubby little short hand, with a little joy.

Xia Jiuwei listened to Liu Ruyi's words, and looked at his movements, the little guy had just woken up, a pair of big eyes were round, the most important thing was that there was a big bubble in his mouth, wrapping his small mouth, and the ruddy little lips were full of money, and the big bubble swayed left and right with his movements, but it was not broken, "Huh" Xia Jiuwei gently poked the little guy's cheek. "Smack", the big bubble that has never broken, actually broke all at once.

"Wow, wow, wow" The baby kicked his feet, shook his little hands, and stared at Xia Jiuwei with a pair of eyes, as if he was protesting.

"Lady, you broke the baby's bubbles." Liu Ru changed the position of Liu Kaiyan's baby, and said with some disapproval, "Fortunately, the baby is very well-behaved today and didn't cry." ”

"Uh." Xia Jiu quickly withdrew her hand, her eyes rolled twice, she felt a sense of embarrassment that she had done something bad, and she didn't expect it, "Xianggong, the baby is also very cute like this." ”

"Hmm."

Next, the baby and Liu Ru are not talking in Chinese.

Diverting Liu Ruye's attention, no longer entangled in her puncturing the bubble that the baby was spitting, Xia Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Guest, it's here." The coachman, Xiao Qin, stopped the carriage and shouted loudly, "Boss, I'll introduce you to the guests." ”

"Hey, Xiao Qin, you're here." Immediately afterwards, Xia Jiuwei heard a woman's voice, and Xia Jiuwei felt that this was a very straightforward woman.

It was also during this period of time that the coachman Xiao Qin lifted the curtain, Xia Jiuwei stood up, and saw the proprietress of the inn, with an emerald green Confucian skirt, a plump figure, good facial features, and a decent hairstyle, especially a pair of affectionate eyes.

"Yo, this is the little girl introduced by Xiao Qin, she looks really Peugeot." The proprietress stared at Xia Jiuwei with affection in her eyes.

Xia Jiuwei's scalp couldn't help but feel a little numb, she was not good at dealing with such people, so she calmed down, "Hello, boss, just come to an ordinary room." ”

"Lady." Liu Ru was looked up and down by the boss's wife's gaze, very uncomfortable, grabbed Xia Jiuwei's sleeve tightly, and leaned on Xia Jiuwei's shoulder.

patted Liu Ruis soothingly, and Xia Jiuwei heard the proprietress laughing with kindness, "Little girl, your family is really tight." ”

Xia Jiuwei didn't speak, only smiled at the proprietress, this should be a branch of the road that I took before, the inn is not big, and the plaque Qingyu Inn made of wooden plaques on the gate is really as the coachman Xiao Qin said, it is better to be clean.

"Hostess, please show us the way." Xia Jiuwei stopped talking nonsense, took out five cents from his sleeve, and handed it to the coachman Xiao Qin, "Thank you for bringing us here." ”

"Guest officer, we have agreed on two cents, and there is no rule of charging you more than three cents." Xiao Qin didn't answer and shook his head.

Xia Jiuwei smiled, "You introduced us to such a good inn, which helped us save a lot, not much." ”

"Xiao Qin, I said you should take it." The proprietress smiled and took the five cents from Xia Jiuwei's hand and handed it to Xiao Qin.

"The proprietress is right, don't be too little, it's not easy for everyone." Xia Jiuwei took Liu Ru and handed her the rope that tied Xiao Ye.

"Then, I'll take it, thank you officer, I'm just moving my mouth a few times."

"You deserve it." Shaking his head, Xia Jiu turned slightly to the proprietress and said, "Thank you." ”

"Little girl, don't think I'm too troublesome."

"Guest officer, I live not far from the side, if you have something to ask me for help, call the proprietress to call me, I am still well-informed about this pear flower town." The coachman Xiao Qin said kindly.

"Okay." Xia Jiu nodded slightly. Whether she would find him or not, she confessed to it.

Bidding farewell to the coachman Xiao Qin, Xia Jiuwei pulled Xiao Ye, took Liu Rushi and Liu Kaiyan's baby baby, and followed behind the proprietress.

"Little sister, don't blame me for being troublesome, Xiao Qin, this kid is a good one, it's a pity that his eldest brother is tired of him, hey, this is all to blame for the Chu family who killed a thousand knives, relying on a few dollars, and running rampant in Pear Blossom Town." The proprietress said dissatisfiedly, "We, ordinary people, have no choice." ”

"The Chu family?" Xia Jiu said suspiciously, could it be the Chu family she was thinking?

"There can still be a few Chu families in this pear flower town."

Xia Jiuwei didn't ask anymore, it seemed that she was right, and her brows unconsciously lowered.

"Lady, don't be afraid. If so, it will protect you. Liu Ru lowered his head and said softly.

The proprietress was so observant, "Little girl, but what's the matter?" ”

Xia Jiuwei reacted, "Thank you for your concern, it's just that I had some small grievances with the Chu family before; It's out of the way. ”

"Little girl, be careful. Most of the Chu family members are unreasonable, and Jinhua Street is where their home is located and their base camp. The proprietress said as she opened a room.

"Thank you, I saved it."
