Chapter 17: The Little White Flower (17)
"Cousin?"
Si Jing cried, her eyes were as clean as washing, and she looked at her with doubts.
"Shh
Yin Cai made a silent movement, only said a short sentence of "talk while walking", and then pulled her up, cautiously jumped out of the window, and left the eldest princess's mansion through the back door.
She is now sixteen.
It's just because the eldest princess is reluctant to have her daughter, so she has been delayed until now, and she has not been engaged, but it can't be delayed for long.
originally planned to act in a scene and completely shirk the marriage, but now that she is sleepy, she has a pillow, and since the daughter of luck has decided to go to the border city, of course she will accompany her to the end.
When you come back in a few years, where will there be a powerful child of the right age who is willing to marry her, an "old woman" who has been on the battlefield and seen blood?
Again.
Si Jing went to the border city, and he could also bring luck blessings to the soldiers of the Central Plains, which was a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
The two of them left the eldest princess's mansion.
After listening to her explanation, Si Jing looked back, her tone was a little uncertain, and asked, "Cousin, then why don't you tell your cousin, how worried is she?" ”
"Tell her, we won't be able to go."
Although the eldest princess spoils her, there is also a bottom line, and it is absolutely impossible to agree to let her daughter and niece go to the battlefield.
So I can only do it first.
Under the strong leadership of Yin Cai, the two of them passed all the way, and finally arrived at the border city three months later, sold the two horses, and found an inn to rest.
Rushing with stars and moons.
When the two were long gone in the capital, they had a reserved and delicate noble temperament, not only black and thin, but also a more rugged style.
After finding the inn, I chose a location next to the window, in addition to a few dishes of meat and vegetarian vegetables, I asked for two roast chickens, two bowls of rice wine, and devoured them.
After filling up a half-full, I drank rice wine, and when the breeze blew, I only felt very comfortable.
"Hiccup~"
Si Jing burped, squinted and rubbed her stomach, the tiredness of her body and the satisfaction of her appetite can make people forget her sorrow the most, she is not like the sad appearance of three months ago, after losing weight, her eyebrows showed a little strong.
Just as I was about to speak.
But I heard a commotion at the door.
A couple of ragged, drunken men staggered in with their shoulders and backs, smiling frivolously as they arrived, and ran to the counter.
The drunken said: "Boss, come ten catties of beef, ten catties of good daughter red." ”
said.
Reaching in, he seemed to want to touch the boss's cheek.
In ancient times, it was illegal to slaughter cattle privately, but because of repeated prohibitions, coupled with the vast territory of the Central Plains, there were different ways to deal with it.
But all in all, beef costs a lot and sells for a higher price, which can almost be considered a luxury for ordinary people.
Not to mention that her daughter is red.
These drunks don't look like they are rich, they are obviously here to eat overlord meals and find faults.
When the two of them had dinner just now, they already had a general understanding of the origin of the inn, the proprietress was surnamed Gong, and her husband was in the army, and now there has been no news for two months, so everyone is speculating whether the proprietress will become a widow.
Probably because a woman is easy to bully, those drunks will come to make trouble.
Si Jing couldn't see it, and got up and wanted to stand with the proprietress and strengthen her power, but she didn't wait to take a step.
"No beef, do you want rat skin?"
At the counter, the proprietress tilted her head, avoiding the man's touch, her subordinates kept moving, still pulling the abacus beads, obviously not looking up, but people could imagine that her appearance must be as awe-inspiring as her voice.
Hear this response.
The surrounding spectators couldn't help but laugh.
The drunk man was deflated, the wine couldn't help waking up for three minutes, his face was angry, his eyes were wide, and he was about to speak, but he saw the proprietress throw something over, and the drunk subconsciously went to pick it up.
Listen to only two "squeaks".
It was a big rat thrown over.
This thing is not very threatening, mainly because of the pain of biting and disgusting to the touch, a few drunks are completely sober up at this time, and subconsciously smash the mouse to the ground, looking at the gray and red stall, I only feel that I have to vomit out the overnight meal.
Several people took two steps back.
The proprietress pulled out a big knife out of nowhere, turned it over directly from the counter with her neat skills, and forced a few people back a few steps, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she crossed her waist and scolded: "Looking for a cheap to find the old lady, drinking?" A bunch of unweaned rabbit cubs, go home to your mother! ”
"Hahahaha!"
A crowd of spectators laughed uncontrollably.
But before they could see enough, they saw the proprietress turn her blade, changed the direction and continued to scold: "Smile and smile, when you shameless people die one day, when people pick up your daughter-in-law's clothes, see if you can laugh." ”
As soon as this remark came out.
The laughter came to an abrupt end.
The border city has been a bitter cold place since ancient times, and it is adjacent to the north, so it has always been the first choice for exiled prisoners.
No one dares to say conclusively that they will survive tomorrow.
So.
As soon as I heard the words of the proprietress, I thought that I also had a master today and no tomorrow, and maybe one day I lost my head, and it would be my wife's turn to become a widow and be bullied by men, so I couldn't laugh.
The proprietress picked up a pot of wine and smashed it on the ground, and while the aroma of the wine was overflowing, it also attracted everyone's attention.
I only heard her sneer: "If you are still a man, you will give the old lady a slap to this group of bastards, and today's meal money will be free." ”
Hear about free meal money.
Everyone's eyes lit up, their palms were about to move, they all got up with a smile, and walked towards the drunks, and after someone took the lead, everyone in the inn got up.
"Oops, no."
"Wrong, hostess, we were wrong."
"Bang Bang!"
After a few loud slaps, a group of people followed the drunks and ran out of the inn.
Among them, there are also many people who fish in troubled waters, carrying a few dishes with clothes with their hands and feet, and then following behind everyone, taking advantage of the chaos to leave, and rubbing a free meal.
In an instant.
There was only one table of guests left in the inn, Yin Cai and Si Jing.
The proprietress cleaned up the ground, sighed imperceptibly, looked up, and saw that Si Jing was going to pay for the meal, so she noticed that there were still two guests left, and pushed it back.
said: "What to give, the little girl is stupid, how good it was to run out just now." ”
"How's that going to work?"
Si Jing put the silver on the counter and said, "We didn't help you beat people, how can we get free of food?" ”
The proprietress looked for her money, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Two little girls are from the capital, give you a word, in the border city, the wicked are better than the good guys." ”
