Chapter 22 The copper plate is not enough money

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Liu got into the carriage and continued to move towards Yingchuan.

Because it was on the road, I couldn't receive the news from Yingchuan.

After bypassing from Linjiang County, going directly to Yingchuan County is to make a big detour, and there are very few official roads in the middle, so you can only continue to bypass some mountain roads, so as not to encounter the situation of being robbed again.

Not long after the carriage drove out, Cheng Liu asked the sweet potato: "I didn't lose my temper last night, right?" ”

Sweet potato replied with a little embarrassment: "Hui Gongzi, there is nothing wrong, just fell asleep, and after General Gan sent you back to the house, he left the slave and maid to take care of you there." ”

Cheng Liu was also very embarrassed when he smiled.

"Really...... I'm sorry for you. ”

"It's nothing, it's all what a slave should do."

Although I was drunk last night, the headache has slowly dissipated today.

I have to say that the wine at this time is good, easy to get on, but there will be no hangover, and the next day it will still be like no one.

"Spring Butterfly and Xia Cicada are still in the carriage behind, right?"

Sweet potato nodded slightly: "Yes." Do you want to find them? ”

"No, just let them be careful, the person we met the day before yesterday is not a good stubble, although I don't know if it's friend or foe, but suddenly appears, there must be something else, we have to be careful."

Sweet potato nodded slightly: "I told them before I left that I would pay attention to the movements around me." ”

The curtain on the carriage was suddenly lifted, and Chundie suddenly asked outside: "Childe, there is a post station in front, do you want to stop?" ”

At this time, the scorching sun is in the sky, and it is indeed a little hot to rush at noon.

Cheng Liu took out the map and took a closer look at the place marked before, this place has not been marked, indicating that there is no famous general here.

But if you don't rest, it will be too hot to stay in the carriage, so I let the coachman stop at the post station in front of him.

Next to the post station is a tea shop, selling wine and pastries, there are not many people coming and going, the people who settled there before seem to have just left, and the tea bowls have not been collected.

"Shopkeeper, come to a bowl of tea!"

The shopkeeper ran out with a towel draped, and as soon as he saw Cheng Liu's dress, he knew that this person was not an idle person, so he put on a smiling face and greeted him busily.

The pastries here are good, but the taste of the tea is a little worse, maybe it is the relationship between the water source, and I always feel that it is a little strange.

After resting for about three teas, Cheng Liu was about to leave, when the shopkeeper suddenly walked out.

"Official, there are a total of five taels here, and the copper plate given by this girl is not enough......"

Cheng Liu frowned slightly, three teas and a plate of pastries cost five taels?

"Shopkeeper, you're bullying me from outsider, aren't you? I can remind you, although there are not many people coming and going on this official road, they are all high-ranking officials and nobles who are going to Jianye or Yingchuan, don't you know what to do! ”

Cheng Liu was really angry this time, he was going out happily today, but he was slandered halfway, and his mind was gone.

"The official doesn't know that the road to Yingchuan has collapsed because of the heavy rain that has been going on for several days! You can't pass through the mountain, so you can only take the official road. Don't say it's a nobleman, even if it's whoever comes, you have to give the tea money that should be given, otherwise there is not much left of this small pastry, and you have to go home to get it when you come, and you have to lose a lot of silver......"

As soon as he had said this, a group of men and horses came from a distance, all three carriages, and a group of men and horses in front of them to open the way.

Looking at this battle, it is obvious that he is a real dignitary.

The shopkeeper was sharp-eyed, and his hands and feet were quick to greet him.

"A few officials, do you want high-quality tea or snacks and pastries?"

A female voice came from the palanquin.

"Let's have a bowl of tea."

As soon as the words fell, a bag of silver taels was thrown out of the sedan chair, which was estimated to be dozens of taels.

The shopkeeper immediately picked it up: "Oh, that's a lot!" The girl is generous and appoints you to make a pot of fine tea! Will you come down and drink, or will I bring it to you? ”

"I'm right here, you can bring it."

"Gotta do it!"

The shopkeeper immediately turned around and went back to his tea shop, while looking at Cheng Liu and mocking: "Official, have you seen it, although there is a woman sitting on this sedan chair, this shot is much wider than your copper plates, right?" ”

Cheng Liu snorted coldly, didn't he just ask for money? What he has now is, mainly because he can't swallow this breath.

"You don't give me nonsense, this thing is so expensive, a fool will give it!"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Cong, who was originally guarding around the three carriages, immediately turned around, with murderous aura in his eyes, and his hands were all pressed on the knife, ready to attack at any time.

The sweet potato coughed dryly, and then took out ten taels from his arms and threw them on the table.

"Childe, we are still some days away from Yingchuan, we are tired from the exhaustion of the boat, there is an inn in front of us, we can go there to rest."

Cheng Liu hummed and then got up.

Her words are obviously a round, after all, what Cheng Liu said in a hurry is angry, no matter who is sitting in this sedan chair, this is not the county guard and Wanling County, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, it is better to stay away.

Spring Butterfly and Summer Cicada followed behind, and the coachman got into the carriage early, ready to set off at any time.

However, when passing by the three carriages, the woman in the sedan chair suddenly spoke.

"Wait."

The tone is not hurried or slow, but there is a bit of calm and relaxed style with everyone's ladies.

Cheng Liu stopped, and the previous depressed mood had not dissipated, so he just asked impatiently, "Something?" I wasn't talking about you, and you don't want to sit down. ”

Unexpectedly, the woman in the sedan didn't pay attention to these words, but asked instead: "Also going to Yingchuan?" ”

"Hmm."

"The official road can't be passed because of the collapse of the mountain, if you take the mountain road, just rely on you and the three girls, I'm afraid there will be some trouble, it's better to walk with me and take care of each other."

Although this is very true, Cheng Liu always feels strange when he hears it.

What happened with three women? Do you deserve to be robbed? Don't you deserve to be able to copy the trail?

However, Sweet Potato had politely refused for him.

"I'm sorry, thank you for the girl's kindness, but I don't know how many hours it will be delayed, we are not in a hurry, in order not to worry about the girl's itinerary, it is better to take the first step, if there is a fate to see each other again."

As soon as Sweet Potato's words fell, there was silence in the sedan chair for a while.

"Okay, though, we'll see each other again soon."

There are many trails along the way, and it is difficult for Cheng Liu to imagine that they will encounter the scene again, unless it is really bad luck......

After getting into the carriage, the shopkeeper of the tea shop had already brought the tea.

The two seemed to be talking in a whisper, and the shopkeeper waited a moment before leaving.

Cheng Liu lowered the curtain and said with some wondering: "It is not reasonable for this tea to be laid here, although it is also an official way, but how much silver can you earn if you don't move forward or backward?" What's more, there are not many mountain bandits in the vicinity, but there must be a lot of fierce beasts, and he dares to put them here directly, it's too wrong. ”
