From Shimen Town to the capital, Cheng Yangyang drove non-stop for more than a month, and when she arrived at the gate of the imperial city, the two officials who sent her stopped at the gate.

"Miss Cheng, we'll send you here, you can do it yourself when you enter the city!"

The two officials pulled the reins of their horses and turned around, and said to Cheng Yangyang, who had been falling behind them.

Cheng Yangyang fell behind them along the way, they rode fast, never waited for her, she chased desperately in order not to fall, her legs were worn out, and she was calloused, she didn't know how she survived for more than a month.

Now she sees that she has lost a lot of weight, her cheeks are red, if she hadn't rubbed oil to protect her face all the way, she doesn't know how many times her face has cracked.

"Brother Zhang, what should I do if you leave now?" she stopped, turned over and dismounted, and stomped her feet, because her legs were already numb.

The two officials also dismounted, and they walked up to her and explained, "Lord Xu only let us send it here, and then it's up to you." ”

"Then who am I looking for when I go in?"

"Didn't Lord Xu tell you?" the two officials said in slight surprise.

Cheng Yangyang shook her head, she didn't even see Xu Weimin's face on the day she went to the Yamen, let alone hear what he said.

"Then you can only watch it yourself, if Lord Xu doesn't tell you, it will be impossible to tell us two. ”

"......, "How does Cheng Yangyang feel that he has been tricked? That Xu Weimin must be deliberate!"

"Okay then!" she took out two ingots of silver from her arms and handed them to them, "It's been hard this way, the two eldest brothers have led the way, this is a little bit of my heart, the two eldest brothers are careful on the way back!"

When the two officials saw the silver she handed over, their faces smiled, but because the cold wind along the way was so blowing, their faces and lips were cracked, and it hurt when they laughed.

"Thank you, Miss Cheng!" the two took the money and parted with her here.

Cheng Yangyang stood at the gate of the capital, looking at the gray city wall more than ten meters high and the vermilion city gate in front of her, as well as the crowd of people coming and going at the city gate, her heart suddenly felt very tired.

What's going on!

She brushed her hair with her hands, sighed, and led her horse toward the city gate.

"Stop!"

As soon as Cheng Yangyang arrived at the gate of the city, a soldier guarding the city stopped her.

"Take out the tooth card!"

"Oh!" Cheng Yangyang almost forgot about it, she took out a piece of torn paper from the burden hanging from the horse's back, and handed it to the soldiers defending the city.

The soldier opened it and looked at it, then gave her the piece of paper back, and waved her in.

Cheng Yangyang entered the city smoothly, perhaps because she had seen the glory of the capital in her previous life, and she was not much surprised after seeing this legendary "capital".

Compared with Shimen Town, isn't it just that the roads are smoother, the streets are wider, the houses are higher, there are more people, and the sound is louder, which is nothing unusual.

But what makes her feel powerless is that she doesn't know where to go now!

Xu Weimin said that the court asked her to come to the capital, not to mention which person in the court asked her to come, which minister should she go to now, which yamen, or go directly to the emperor?

Forget it, it's been more than a month on the road, she urgently needs a room and a bed to rest now, her energy is now on the verge of collapse, and if she doesn't sleep, she will go crazy.

"Boss, may I ask, where is the best inn in the city?"

Cheng Yangyang casually found a vendor selling sugar gourds on the side of the road and asked, she was looking for the best post house for safety, even if she found it too expensive when she arrived, it was a big deal for her to find a cheaper one nearby.

"The girl is from out of town!" The boss looked at her dress and said with a smile: "You go forward, walk a mile to the east and enter the East Street, the East Street is the most lively in the city, there is a late inn there, you go and take a look!"

Late to the inn?

It's a pretty good name, "Thank you boss!"

According to the boss's words, Cheng Yangyang went all the way to the east, and walked for a while before arriving at the East Street, which was really as lively as the boss said, and the atmosphere here was no less than ten times more lively than the city gate!

She walked next to the horse, carefully squeezing into the crowd, but from time to time she was touched by the shoulders of passers-by.

There are a lot of horse-drawn carriages on East Street, and people will drive by at every turn, and then it will be the passers-by who will give way, and everyone will be stuck together.

Cheng Yangyang finally came to the late inn in the boss's mouth, the inn was very large, five times larger than the Wanfu Tavern, and it was very high, it looked like it should have three or four floors.

The window on the second floor opens, and you can see people eating in front of the window, poking their heads out and looking down.

"Guest officer, are you sharpening or staying in a hotel?"

Xiao Er, who was standing at the door, saw that Cheng Yangyang had been staying at the door for a while, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to ask.

Cheng Yangyang came back to her senses and looked at the polite Xiao Er, she was stunned, she was still thinking just now, to see if there were any other post houses nearby to go to, this Xiao Er came over.

Let's just enjoy a night in this inn first, which can be regarded as a treat to the wind and food that you have come to sleep in the open.

"Stay!"

When Xiao Er heard Cheng Yangyang's words, he happily took the reins in her hand and brought her in, "Visitor!"

Cheng Yangyang stepped into the inn, and there were many richly dressed guests sitting in the inn, they all came here to eat and chat, and they all seemed to be masters who were not short of money.

When they saw someone coming in, they didn't care.

"Hello, I want a room", Cheng Yangyang came to the counter and said.

"Okay!" The man at the counter turned around, took a key and put it on the table, and asked, "Guest, how many nights?"

"How much do you pay for a night here?"

"If you go back to the guest officer, our room here is fifty taels and one nights, and the number of people is thirty and twenty and one nights", the man patiently introduced her, and treated her without any difference on his face.

"Then I want a local name, let's stay for two nights first!"

Cheng Yangyang had to sigh that the price of the imperial city was expensive, and it cost ordinary people a few months to stay in an inn for one night.

"Okay!" the man picked up the pen to register her, and the key he put on the table was not replaced, it seems that the little two here have a very accurate eye!

After taking the key, the little er who had recruited her just now came in from outside, he had already helped her park her horse, and brought in the luggage on her horse's back, and was now taking her upstairs.

"Xiao Er, please help me prepare some hot water, I want to take a bath", after entering the door, Cheng Yangyang turned around and explained: "Help me prepare two more dishes, thank you!"

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute!"

Xiao Er responded politely, and when he withdrew, he helped her close the door.

Cheng Yangyang put down his burden and walked around the room, which was larger than the largest room in Wanfu Tavern, and was decorated with antique vases, screens, tables and chairs, study, and bathtubs.

There is also a beaded curtain separating the sleeping place, and there is a bedroom inside, which has a bed, a dresser, and a wardrobe, which is a standard inn!
