Chapter 118: A Different Country

"Thank you Master Gu for reminding me," Yuan Bao'er smiled decently and smoothly, but she was very cold.

Gu Sheng's expression darkened, he looked down at the steaming teacup, and stood up for a while.

"In this way, I wish Lord Yuan a smooth trip and return it as soon as possible."

Yuan Bao'er got up and walked with a light smile.

Gu Sheng turned around passively and walked out of the cabin first.

Cui Xin stared at the door, and when she saw the two of them coming out, she was busy making a straight appearance.

Gu Sheng glanced at her lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your family will take one with you this time, I hope you remember your identity, don't be too presumptuous." ”

Cui Xin blinked twice, wanting to say that she was quite cautious in her duty.

Yuan Bao'er quietly gave her a look and signaled her not to care.

Cui Xin couldn't be angry, but she remembered to give Yuan Bao'er face, and didn't start angrily.

Gu Sheng strode back to the boat.

The two ships briefly met and soon separated.

Yuan Bao'er looked sideways at the shadow of the boat that was gradually moving away.

Such a resolute separation, with Gu Sheng's arrogance, is probably gone.

Cui Xin came over with the fruit, and when she saw that Yuan Bao'er's expression was wrong, she quietly retreated.

After Fengzhou, the water area became open, and the speed of the ship increased significantly.

It didn't take more than a month to arrive in Massachusetts.

The owner of the boat leaned the boat to Futou and asked Yuan Bao'er: "What do you want to bring back, but the little old man can do it for him when he goes back." ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled and handed over a letter and a piece of silver, "So it's hard work." ”

The owner of the ship smiled and took it and said goodbye to her.

Yuan Bao'er and Cui Xin stabilized their burdens and went straight to the mansion along the lively Futou.

The surroundings were full of strange-toned shouts, and Cui Xin listened curiously and couldn't help but look around.

Yuan Bao'er was worried about getting separated, so she dragged her all the way.

Fortunately, Massachusetts is not big, and after crossing two streets, you will find the government office.

Yuan Baoer stepped forward and handed over the official document.

The official glanced at the two of them before bowing inside.

Cui Xin looked at the two of them with wrong expressions, and said in a low voice: "Lady, I'm afraid it's not something boring?" ”

Yuan Bao'er glanced at her and didn't speak.

Cui Xin knew that she was speechless and hurriedly closed her mouth.

Soon, an old man in a cloth coat pinched a pu fan and swayed over.

Seeing Yuan Bao'er, he grinned, "Your girl was sent by the imperial court?" ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded hurriedly, and then pointed to the official behind him, "This is the brother who came with me." ”

The officials glanced at Yuan Bao'er, but they didn't expect her to look at them like this.

The old man smiled and arched his hand, "The old man's surname is Xu, and his single name is idle." ”

"If you want to, call me Lao Xu, and if you don't want to, call me whatever you want."

He said happily.

Where dare the officials to be big or small, they all respect Lord Xu.

Xu Xian sighed, didn't care, and only asked Yuan Bao'er, "You guys just arrived?" ”

Yuan Bao'er nodded and arched her hand: "You don't need to worry about the residence, just tell the guest house where it is." ”

Xu Xian pouted, "There is no guest house, if you want to live in it, you can only live in a private house." ”

"That's it, it's okay," Yuan Bao'er accepted it with a good temper, causing Xu Xian to look at her twice.

He called a servant and asked him to take Yuan Bao'er and his party over.

The place that the man took was very close to the government office, and it was only half a cup of tea to walk.

It's just that the houses are a little dilapidated, and they can barely shelter from the wind and rain.

The officials were accustomed to living in guest houses and Kyoto houses, and they were inevitably a little surprised to see them suddenly.

The official who was in charge of leading the way over said: "It's okay here, the temperature here is high and humid, and the house can't live in it, not to mention ordinary people, even the county lord's back office is leaking here and there." ”

"No one will fix it?"

Someone asked.

The official smiled: "We have so many skilled craftsmen here, how can no one know how to repair?" ”

"But our master is too poor to pay for his salary."

With that, he smiled and walked away.

Cui Xin looked at his back and muttered in a low voice, "The people here are really strange, the dignified county lord, how can they be like an old man in the market." ”

"Cui Xin," Yuan Bao'er wrinkled her eyebrows slightly.

Cui Xin hurriedly pursed her mouth, indicating that she would never speak again.

The people went into the houses and negotiated with the housekeepers.

The housekeepers have obviously long been accustomed to borrowing in this way, negotiating directly, renting for more than a month, and they need to pay for the repair of this place.

Yuan Baoer asked the price, which was almost fifty taels.

Even the guest house is about the same price.

Seeing her so happy, the owner of the house was rarely kind, and said to her: "It is very hot here, you take advantage of the big day now, hurry up and dry the quilt, otherwise you will not be able to cover it at night." ”

She said it twice with an obvious accent before Yuan Baoer understood.

Everyone immediately took action, drying quilts, cleaning, tidying up the kitchen, and so on.

After a lot of work, it was almost evening.

Yuan Bao'er and Cuixin took the two officials to visit the market.

The owners only provide bedding and nothing else, they have to live here for a while, and they need to purchase a lot of things.

Fortunately, Yuan Baoer had procurement experience before.

She and Cuixin worked together, and when it was dark, they almost got things in order.

At night, Yuan Baoer and everyone set up a bonfire in the yard, and she took action and roasted a whole sheep.

The sheep here are all running all over the mountains, neither fat nor thin, and they are very chewy.

Everyone ate very happily, and they heard someone at the door: "Are you still comfortable here?" ”

Everyone turned their heads and saw Xu Xian coming in with a pu fan.

"Lord Xu," everyone hurriedly got up and gave up their seats.

Xu Xian walked over to him and sniffled.

"Oh, it's so fragrant, this thing can only be found from Kyoto."

Yuan Bao'er smiled and motioned for him to sit closer. He tore another piece of bone-in meat and handed it over, "Lord Xu tastes it, can it be the same as the taste of Kyoto?" ”

Xu Xian is not polite, just take it and gnaw it.

That gluttony is like not eating for three days.

Yuan Baoer boasted that she was well-informed, and she was stunned.

After Xu Xian finished gnawing, he threw the bones away, "It's even more delicious than Fumanlou's, and this craft is to go to the palace to make imperial meals." ”

"Thank you Lord Xu for your praise," Yuan Bao'er smiled and cut another rib of flesh and handed it over.

Xu Xian took a big bite of meat and said vaguely: "You baked it?" ”

Yuan Bao'er smiled and nodded, "I'm ashamed, I don't have any other hobbies, so I'm greedy for a little appetite." ”

Xu Xianha smiled, his eyes grinded around, and when he saw the wine jug, he copied it up, and poured a few big mouthfuls before laughing heartily, "If people don't have any preferences, then they won't be saints?" ”

"The saints are all hung on the wall," he said cheerfully.

Cui Xin was speechless.

This old man eats and drinks her lady's, how can he curse her lady.

Yuan Bao'er smiled gently, "What the adults said is very true, and so is what a certain person thinks." ”

Xu Xian smiled, with wine in one hand and meat in the other, eating so comfortably.

After three rounds of wine, all the wine bought was drunk, Xu Xian got up unsatisfied, "Okay, I'm just here to see you, just stay used to it, guard the door at night, don't put anyone in." ”
