Chapter 101: Observing the People's Customs

Yuan Bao'er walked around for a while and felt a little hungry, so she found a restaurant and sat down to eat.

The food here is mainly seafood, and the taste is far better than that of the mainland.

Yuan Baoer and Cui Xin had a good meal, and when they arrived at the checkout, the two were a little dumbfounded.

There are only four dishes, one soup and a few cakes, and it costs nearly five taels.

Will be posted, Cui Xin muttered, "This is too expensive." ”

Yuan Bao'er didn't speak, but she agreed in her heart.

She has a fortune, plus what her grandfather gave her, enough for her to eat and drink for a long time.

But the problem is that the people here don't seem to be that wealthy.

Yuan Baoer took Cuixin straight to the vegetable market.

At this time, there are basically not many vendors in the market, so Cuixin went to the fish seller and asked how to sell it.

Knowing that there were one hundred articles, her eyes widened.

"So expensive?"

"It's not expensive, you see how fat this fish is," said the fishmonger, "I only look at these two items, and it's only this price, otherwise it will cost 120 yuan a piece." ”

Yuan Bao'er glanced at it and took Cui Xin to ask about meat and vegetables.

After asking around, Yuan Bao'er's face was a little ugly.

It's a little strange that the food here is 30% more expensive than in Kyoto.

When she went back to the guest house, Yuan Baoer asked Cui Xin to get close to the guy inside.

After a while, Cui Xin came back with an angry face.

"What's wrong?"

Yuan Baoer said.

"Lady, I finally know why the food is so expensive, and I have added taxes several times for the co-authors."

"How so?"

Yuan Bao'er frowned slightly, "The county order here has only been gone for two months, and during this period, only the county has been the agent, who dares to be so bold and do this?" ”

Cui snorted angrily, it's not just those families.

"Those fish and meat dishes, as long as they are taken out, they will be taxed again, and when they enter the city, they will have to pay the city tax, and when they go to the market, there will be miscellaneous taxes."

"These are not ridiculously expensive."

Yuan Bao'er frowned slightly, "I'm afraid Lord Zhang doesn't know about this yet." ”

She stood up and went straight to the mansion, and before she was about to enter, she saw a tall horse parked at the door of the mansion.

Ordinary people can't afford to raise such healthy horses, so they ask the officials.

"Master Zhang, is there something wrong?"

The official nodded, "Your Excellency is meeting a guest." ”

Yuan Bao'er asked who it was, and the official said bluntly, "The original family." ”

Before she came here, Yuan Baoer knew about this.

It is said that the origin of the name Hongyuan County is still because of the original family.

Later, it was designated as a county by Taizu, and the original family took root here.

There was a sound of a person striding out from inside, Yuan Bao'er turned her eyes and saw that it was a man in an ochre-colored thick shirt, so she turned sideways.

When the man left the palace, he came forward to pay respects.

"The little original housekeeper has seen Lord Yuan."

"Do you recognize me?"

Yuan Bao'er looked at him head-on.

"The adult is a nobleman, how can the villain see it," he glanced at the waist card she hung on the silk silk, "It was really the waist card that saw the adult, so he rashly saw it." ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded and walked past him into the mansion.

Yuan Zhen slowly turned his head, glanced at the two masters and servants, and handed the official a purse, and said in a low voice: "Lord Yuan and Lord Zhang have a good relationship?" ”

The official thought about Yuan Bao'er going in and out here in the past two days, so he nodded.

The original essence is well known, and hurry back to return.

Yuan Baoer came to inquire at this time, and saw that Zhang Mao was buried in the official document without raising his head.

Yuan Bao'er stood there, looking at the official hat on Zhang Mao's head, for some reason, the idea that had just risen disappeared in a blink of an eye, but thinking about the friendship of the same road, he said: "I went to the restaurant and sat down, the dishes here are very novel, has Master Zhang ever tasted it?" ”

Zhang Mao put down the official document and said lightly: "I am entangled in official business, and I don't have Lord Yuan to spare, so I don't have this blessing." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled, and was as good as a stream, "In this way, you won't delay your official business." ”

She arched her hand and walked out of the mansion quickly.

Cui Xin whispered, "What the hell, forgot to eat and drink ours all the way." ”

"It's not so fast to cross the river and tear down the bridge."

Yuan Bao'er smiled, "That's it, let's go back." ”

She took Cui Xin back to the guest house, and when she entered the door, she saw the man leading two healthy horses to the stable.

Cuixin rolled her eyes and slipped to the stables to ask who was coming.

Yuan Baoer went straight back to the room.

Just went upstairs, Gu Sheng came over.

"Why are you here?"

Yuan Baoer was surprised.

Gu Sheng smiled, "But went on an errand?" ”

Yuan Bao'er shook her head and continued to go upstairs.

Gu Sheng waited for her to come and followed her into the room.

As soon as the two of them sat down, they heard hurried footsteps.

"Lady," Cui Xin shouted, glanced at Gu Sheng, and swallowed the rest of the words immediately.

Yuan Bao'er said, "Bring the tea stove and tea bottle." ”

Cui Xin retreated to the compartment, brought something over, and slipped out.

Yuan Bao'er slowly made the tea leaves and sifted them carefully.

Gu Sheng looked at her quiet eyebrows and eyes, and said softly, "Is there anyone here to embarrass you?" ”

Yuan Bao'er shook her head, and when she saw Gu Sheng looking at him with concern, she smiled, "It's the person I'm looking for, the old mother of the family is sick, and I have to wait for him for a few days." ”

Gu Sheng relieved his heart at this time, waited until Yuan Bao'er finished making tea, and said: "In this case, don't move around for the next two days, so as not to harm the innocent." “

Yuan Baoer was a little surprised.

However, thinking of Gu Sheng's errand, he didn't ask much.

Gu Sheng waited and waited, and was a little disappointed when he saw that she was busy with herself again.

He pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "When I'm done, the rest of the families will be scared, and you can act cheaply." ”

Yuan Bao'er hadn't forgotten what she was thinking, but when she heard him say this, she said, "You're not because of me."

Halfway through her speech, she swallowed the following back.

"No," Gu Sheng said, his eyes looking at her.

Seeing that she was relieved, his face was slightly gloomy.

"You don't want to get too close to me?"

"No," Yuan Bao'er asked herself if this was the case, "I just don't want to delay your errand." ”

Gu Sheng looked at her fixedly, and when he saw that her eyes were calm, his expression eased a little.

"No," he replied.

Yuan Bao'er suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't know why, maybe the wind in the afternoon was too hot, and she was about to sweat.

Fortunately, Gu Sheng finished drinking tea and left after a while.

After sending people off, Yuan Bao'er held her hot face and stared at the empty teacup.

It's good, what kind of style did Gu Sheng smoke, why did he suddenly ask about this.

Cui Xin waited until Gu Sheng walked away before rushing in.

"Lady, why is Master Gu here?"

Yuan Bao'er came back to her senses and disguised her teacup, "It's business." ”

Cui Xin did not doubt that he had him, and followed her out with a small red clay stove.

"Lady, I heard that there is a tide here, and the time is just right at this time, let's go."

"Okay," Yuan Bao'er just wanted to agree, but she remembered Gu Sheng's words, and she said, "Forget it, wait for two days." ”
