Chapter 305: When a Bun
With the questioning of the officers and soldiers, the people who were originally lining up in front of and behind Liu Ya and his party kept their distance, for fear of being implicated by Liu Ya.
The bell subconsciously wanted to step forward to protect the master, but was stopped by Liu Ya with a gesture.
"Brother Guancha, we are from Honghu County. My uncle wanted to hire a female master for me, so he wrote a letter asking me to visit Master Wu next to the prefect, and this is my uncle's letter. ”
Liu Ya smiled sweetly, and took out the letter written by Master Chen to Master Wu with a little ostentation.
The envelope is waxed, and only the words Wu De personally opened it can be seen on the envelope.
"Who is your uncle? What is the relationship with Master Wu? The officers and soldiers did not fully believe Liu Ya's words, but continued to interrogate.
"My uncle is my uncle! He and Master Wu are classmates and friends, and they often exchange letters, otherwise my uncle wouldn't let me come directly. ”
Liu Ya pouted, looking unhappy when asked.
"Who are you?"
The officers and soldiers thought that Liu Ya was young, so he liked to talk but couldn't answer the point, so they focused on Wang Qing.
"The little one is the coachman sent by the master, and she is the girl's personal girl." Wang Qing hurriedly replied with his waist in his hand, with an inferior attitude.
The official took a look at the clothes of the three people, and said that the master and servant had also said it, so he said, "Bring the paper." ”
The bell hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the document, and after the official mission finished checking it and making sure that the document and the guide were not fake, he could only let people enter the city.
After Liu Ya and the three of them entered the city, the official immediately reported to Shangfeng.
This is not the first time that such a situation has been encountered, most of it is just a misunderstanding, Shangfeng didn't care too much and ordered: "You follow up and check, and if there is a problem, arrest it directly." ”
"Yes." The official sent the order and followed Liu Ya and the others all the way.
Sitting in the donkey cart, listening to the bell saying that someone was following them behind, Liu Ya covered her face and said: "This time it was really a bun that entered the city, and I was embarrassed and lost to my grandmother's house!" ”
"It's not to blame the master, the north has always been unstable, and there are always some spies entering the city, so the control is stricter." Bell explained.
Liu Ya nodded, she had never cared much about political affairs, but she also knew that the situation in the Northland was complicated.
Jincheng is okay here, the closer the city is to the border, the more chaotic it is, and no one dares to guarantee whether the people around him are meticulous.
"When the Fucheng side is stable, we can go to the border pass and take a turn. The fur business, medicinal herbs, and grain and grass business over there should be easy to do, right? Liu Ya rubbed her chin and said.
"It's easy to do, it's not easy to do, the people at the border pass recognize life, it's easy to be bullied by the locals on the front line without acquaintances, and it's not for nothing that people are slaughtered at a loss." Bell science.
Liu Ya didn't know this, but the more she was like this, the more she wanted to go to the border.
Once she can establish her own power, it will be a way out in the future, after all, she never thought that she would have to live in Fengguo for the rest of her life.
"Bell, do you know the way to Master Shen and Master Wu's mansion? We have to go and hand over the prayer post first, otherwise we will be wronged if we are arrested and put in prison by the officials. ”
Interrupting the drifting thoughts, Liu Ya laughed self-deprecatingly.
Sure enough, it's better to be a person and see the world more, isn't she, a little peasant girl, making a fool of herself?
"The slave will go out to show the way to the cousin, and the master will rest for a while." Seeing Liu Ya close her eyes, the bell got out of the carriage and sat beside Wang Qing to show the way.
The rules of large families are to hand over the post first and wait for the host's family to reply before you can be a guest.
Therefore, Liu Ya will not be able to see these two today, but it also dispelled the doubts of the officials who followed them.
The bell is not a talent cultivated by Jin Beijiang, and the inn where he chose to settle is diagonally opposite Feng Ji Restaurant, and the window can be opened slightly to see the situation on the opposite side.
Since entering the room, Liu Ya has been paying attention to the situation on the other side, and I have to say that Boss Feng, a profiteer, still has the means to do business, at least there are many guests who come to the door.
"Master, the food is here, can you use it now?" The bell asked for instructions outside the door.
"Hmm." Liu Ya closed the window, sat down lazily, and ordered, "Please come over and eat together, and you will too." ”
There aren't so many rules when you're at home, let alone when you're away.
The bell went to call someone, Xiao Er carried the food box into the house, and said pleasantly: "Girl, try it to see if it suits the taste, this Feng Ji Restaurant has only been open for two years, but the specialty food is still quite famous." ”
"Your inn has a kitchen, right? Holding the opposite side like this, aren't you afraid that your host will be unhappy? Liu Ya asked with a smile.
"Hey, we're an inn after all, and the food and drinks come with it. However, it also has its own specialty dishes, especially in this winter, wild meat, which the girl can try if she likes, and the price is reasonable. ”
While Xiao Er set up the dishes, he didn't forget to sell them to his own inn.
"That's a good feeling, when you get to the evening, you can order a few signature dishes and send them over, this is a reward for you."
Liu Ya generously rewarded a piece of broken silver, and did not ask about the status of Feng Ji Restaurant.
If you ask too much when you just move in, it will lead to suspicion.
sent the shopkeeper away, and Wang Qing and Bell also came back to take their seats.
The food in Feng Ji Restaurant is acceptable, this is the evaluation given by Liu Ya, and Ling and Wang Qing agree that the food in the third room is not delicious.
"It seems that Feng Ji Restaurant can be bigger, not completely the taste of wine and food, Bell, you are responsible for investigating whether there is any catfish."
Liu Ya didn't have much appetite for this exquisite meal, and after wiping her mouth, she said to Wang Qing: "After meeting Master Wu, ask him to do something, and let's go see my cousin." ”
"Hmm." Because he was worried about Wang Lan's situation, Wang Qing's mood was not very high.
The group stayed in the restaurant for a day, and Master Wu sent someone to send a reply, which was faster than Master Shen's side.
After all, there is a friendship with classmates, Master Wu can speak in front of the prefect, but he is not an official, but he has no stand, he looks like a teacher, and he is polite.
After Liu Ya presented Master Chen's letter, she gave Master Wu the gift sheet prepared by Master Chen and her separately.
"When we met for the first time, the younger generation had something to entrust, and I didn't want to go, and I hope Uncle Wu will forgive me."
Liu Ya got up and saluted Master Wu, and called Uncle Wu to get closer.
"Don't be polite, Lao Chen knows that he can't pull out my beard, saying that I bullied his niece!"
Master Wu gave a handful of help, and then said: "What you said is not a difficult matter, tomorrow morning you will bring things to the yamen, this matter will be easy to do." ”
Liu Ya thanked her again, and the conversation with Master Wu was not long, but they had a good impression of each other.
can be a master by the prefect's side, Master Wu is a good talker, and the degree of oiliness is no less than that of Master Chen, who is in business, at least he is used to seeing high-ranking officials and nobles, and his vision for people is extremely accurate.
"The person who can make Lao Chen value is inevitable to be affectionate and righteous, but it's a pity that it's a woman." This is Master Wu's evaluation of Liu Ya.
It's just that Liu Ya didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have refuted it, but she still laughed it off.
After returning to the inn, Liu Ya received a reply from Master Shen's side, but her mind was on the Feng Ji Restaurant opposite.
It's been two days, and this is the first time that Liu Ya has seen a willow forest appear in a restaurant.
"What have you been busy with in the Willow Forest these past two days?"
Drinking flower tea, Liu Ya asked.
"Back to the master, Liu Xue doesn't want to be a concubine, and the slave and maid also ordered someone to spread the news of the Lin family brothers to his ears, and he must have been busy for the past two days."
Thinking of those who were calculating Liu Ya, Bell said coldly: "In the past two days, Boss Feng has also been sending things to Fucheng several times a day, for fear that he will be implicated." According to the girl's instructions, Fu Cheng didn't know that Liu Xue was going to repent of her marriage for the time being. ”
