Qian Yanxin said, what I'm afraid of is that you have this idea, so I said it in the opposite direction.

She doesn't have time to walk with others anymore, she has almost walked around this Xingtang Mansion today, and she will be ready to leave tomorrow, and she will go to find a deserted mountain forest outside the city and leave without fear of being seen.

When the group arrived at East Street, He Linling directly took Qian Yan to the largest restaurant in Xingtang Mansion - Anhe Building.

Looking at their familiar appearance, she knew that it shouldn't be the first time they came here, and she complained that although she was stopped outside yesterday, she knew that the earliest city gate to open in the morning was the Nancheng side, and it was probably because of this that she escaped the pursuers behind.

Of course, the two people I saw before were not necessarily chasing them, and they didn't necessarily have other purposes.

Anhe Building is worthy of being the largest restaurant in Xingtang Mansion, located in the most prosperous part of the center of East Street, not far from the money village where Yanyan went before, and it is separated by two or three shops.

The building of the restaurant is a wooden structure, not very high but there are three floors, the first floor is the lobby, and there are more than a dozen square tables, because it is already noon, and there are three or four tables of people sitting in the sparse Lala.

It should be that the conditions at home are relatively good, not to mention the bright clothes, but they are all neat, and there is no kind of down-and-out dress.

The name of this No. 1 restaurant alone can stop some shy people in their pockets.

He Linling and the others did not stop on the first floor, but went directly to the second floor.

The men in the lobby didn't have time to come and greet them, but when they saw that they were skillfully ascending the stairs, they knew that they were regular customers, so they didn't come to disturb them again.

"The little one has seen the guest officer, how many guest officers are there? On the second floor or up to the third floor? "Ascended to the second floor, and there is also an exclusive little two on the second floor, and when I saw the guests, I hurriedly came to greet them.

"Eat on the second floor and find a place to the north." He Lin Lingdao.

Qian Yan looked left and right, originally thought that the second floor would be a private room, but she didn't expect that the second floor was similar to the first floor, and it was also a whole lobby, but the distance between each table was farther away, and there was a screen in the middle, which was considered to have an independent space.

And each table is next to the window, so you can see the view outside.

You can see the street from the side of the street, and you can see the backyard of the restaurant from the side that is not close to the street.

When she walked inside, she glanced over there, because the windows were all propped up and not closed, and she could clearly see the backyard of the restaurant.

The scenery of the backyard is very good, there are flowers and grass and rockeries, and there is a lotus pond, this season is the time when the lotus flowers open, and the pink lotus flowers in the green lotus leaves are slim and elegant, which is very poetic and picturesque.

The scene here is obviously much better than the street, but it is noon, and the door of this restaurant is open to the north, so the direction of the backyard is a little sunny, so they still chose to sit on the side of the street.

As soon as he sat down, He Linling asked Qian Yan if she had any preferences or taboos.

Qian Yan shook her head and said, "I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything, I can eat anything." ”

He Linling smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll call the shots, knowing that you are here for the first time, let's order some special dishes from this Xingtang Mansion." ”

After speaking, he said to the restaurant Xiaoer: "Green onion fried mutton, crispy fish, lotus chicken, seasonal vegetables and side dishes for two, the main food is steamed cakes for four people and a Wufu cake, and a pot of jade aromatic liquid......"

Tilting Yan also knew during this time that in this era, anyone with a little family background can take a sip, whether it is Hancheng or here, the most open shop in the city is the wine shop.

It's just that along the way, she has encountered either no such conditions, or no such leisure, and this is the first time she has had the opportunity to take a sip.

When the food was served and the wine was served, He Linling picked up the sip wine jug and poured a small glass for Tilt Yan.

Then he said to her: "I don't know if Miss Xue is good at drinking, but when you come here, you must taste this jade aromatic liquid, this jade aromatic liquid is also known as bamboo leaf qing, it turns out to be a tribute wine." ”

Qian Yan took a sip lightly, her eyes lit up, and she asked with interest: "What is the allusion to this wine?" ”

He Linling said with a smile: "There really is, it is said that there was a person surnamed Liu Mingluo among the people back then, who has always been good at making wine, taking river water and repeatedly brewing fragrant wine, storing it for a long time, and then opening it when the mulberry leaves fall, so the name of this wine was originally called Sangluo wine."

Because this fragrant wine is as white as rice swill, it has a different fragrance, which is different from other wines, giving out a fragrant orchid fragrance, and like musk wafting, becoming a kind of elegant fragrance of its own, and choosing this mulberry wine as the best wine when paying tribute.

Later, I felt that the name of this mulberry was not good as a tribute wine, so I changed it to Yufangye and Zhuyeqing. ”

Qian Yan thought about the wine she bought in Handcheng, which was said to be the best in the wine shop, but compared with this wine, it was still a lot worse, at least she smelled the fragrance of this wine and was much more mellow than that wine.

"Can you buy this wine in a liquor store? I want to buy some and give them to the elders in my family to try. ”

He Linling nodded, "Go to the largest wine shop, the price of this wine is actually not high, that is, the output is small, and it is not easy to get the goods from the small wine shop." ”

Hearing this, she was relieved, thinking that she would go to the biggest liquor store in the city for a while, and buy some for her father and them, her grandfather and grandfather also liked to drink.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, He Linling called Xiao Er to settle the account, and they went out of the restaurant.

She was also a guest at someone else's house, so she couldn't take them there, so she asked them where they were waiting for her to go back and drive the donkey cart to them.

He Linling looked up and saw a teahouse not far from the street, they had just finished lunch, and it was not good to hurry away immediately when the weather was hot, so they said that they would sit in the teahouse for a while, and wait for Yanyan by the way.

Qian Yan nodded and walked with them to the teahouse, and as soon as she took two steps, she heard Chouchou say to her: "I saw four big men on horseback coming in from the north city gate, looking at their clothes and horses, they should be in the same group as those people yesterday."

The horses and knives of these four men are exactly the same as the ones you killed yesterday.

When they were inspected at the city gate, they claimed to be from the Mighty Dart Bureau, so they were not suspected by the city defenders of the city with their weapons. ”

Qian Yan paused, "Then Feng Dongyue didn't suspect that he saw their horses, right?" ”

The ugly said with a smile in his tone: "It's such a coincidence, Feng Dongyue went home with his father for dinner, and he didn't guard the city gate there, the soldier who brought him the post before was there, and he didn't find any problems." ”

Tilt Yan breathed a sigh of relief, if it was just that the horse was actually okay, the horses all looked similar, even if they looked like a batch, it wouldn't mean anything, but the saddle harness was the same, and it was a little too much to say at first glance.

Then he asked the ugly ugly, "Are they going straight this way?" ”

Ugly: "No, they went to Nanshi, it is estimated that they only saw the bodies of their accomplices on the road, and did not see the horses, and then chased them along the horse's hooves, thinking that you should also sell the horses, and it is impossible to throw them away." ”

Qian Yan was glad again, she took the person to sell it to Feng Dongyue's side, if it was sold to the mule and horse market, maybe it would implicate the horse dealer and the innocent people over there.

After all, those people are not good people, they are all masters who can kill people and set fires, and now the horses are already in the courtyard of the public house, and the ground in this city is paved with stone bricks, even if they get clues about those horses from Nanshi, they can't follow the horse's hooves.

Another one in the north city is inhabited by soldiers who defend the city, and they are just these four people, and they don't seem to be the kind of people who dare to come blatantly.

Qian Yan thought about it, but turned back to the three of them and said, "I forgot to mention just now, when I went to call the person who collected the horses, I met four people who were dressed very similarly to those people yesterday, and they also carried big knives on their waists.

At that time, they were passing through the city gate, and told the soldiers guarding the city that they were from the mighty dart bureau of the city of industry. ”

When the three of them heard this, their faces immediately changed, they took a deep breath, and said to Qian Yan: "Thank you girl for reminding us, we will pay attention, we will go to the teahouse to find a private room to sit in a while, and the girl should be more careful on the road." ”

"I will, you should be careful." Knowing that they understood, she separated from them and left before she walked to the door of the teahouse.

Those four people may not be able to find this place, but what if? In case people can't find it, they will come here to drink tea and have a meal, and the three of He Linling will sit in the lobby and be found at a glance.

At that time, not only the three of them will be in danger, but with such a large flow of people here, maybe they will hurt the innocent.

The three of them quickly entered the teahouse, and Tianyan quickly walked towards the west.

She was not afraid of running into each other, anyway, the people who had seen her were already dead, and these people who caught up later, even if they heard the description, could not recognize them.

Her outfit has changed, it's completely different from yesterday, and there is an ugly plug-in, if she can still walk opposite them, it will be too mysterious.

Even so, when I came to the crossroads, I subconsciously accelerated my pace.

Although Chougou said that the other party was still inquiring about the Luoma Market, and said that no one told them, most people in this era are not nosy, especially the people living at the bottom.

Those people were not easy to mess with at first glance, and most of them adhered to the idea that more things are better than less, and they all said that they had never seen the three people and a dozen horses they were talking about, and even the horse dealer did not say anything.

Qian Yan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that those four people would definitely not think that because she didn't look like a good person and had a fierce face, she lost the opportunity to know the clues.

Qian Yan's steps were much brisker, and she trotted all the way back to the westernmost side gate of Xue Mansion.

Grabbing the copper ring on the door and patting it a few times, the door opened from the inside, and it was Hou Shunzi, the porter, who opened the door yesterday.

Seeing Qian Yan, a smile immediately appeared on her face, "It's the girl who is back, but you're tired of shopping?" I'll take you to the backyard, girl. ”

Qian Yan hurriedly stopped: "No, I still have to go out, I have something to trouble the little brother, can someone help me drive the donkey cart out yesterday?" The car was borrowed from a friend, and I'm going to return it. ”

Hearing this, Hou Shunzi nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, the small one will go and bring the car over for you, you wait here." ”

After speaking, he said to a small guy next to him: "Erlinzi, I'll go back when I go, you are here to help me watch the door." ”

The little guy named Erlinzi nodded again and again: "Brother Shunzi, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the door." ”

This is the side door, and there are often backyard maids and stewards who go out to buy, so they can't leave people.

As for why Hou Shunzi agreed so happily, he didn't ask Steward Yang or their young lady, so he went to catch the donkey cart, it was because Steward Zhang in the backyard had already come over to ask him today.

Steward Zhang is Steward Yang's wife Zhang Fangcao, I have heard Xue Minghua say yesterday that someone sent her back specially by someone else, and this car is also someone else's.

Zhang Fangcao was afraid that Tianyan would use the car or go to the car to pick up things today, so she came over and instructed her not to look back and make people feel that it was difficult to take their own things.

Qian Yan didn't think about it that much, and she didn't leave today anyway, so she didn't think about talking to Mrs. Xue or Xue Minghua about it now.

Besides, she still has a horse left here, and the other party probably won't think that she won't say goodbye.

The stables of the Xue Mansion were not very far from here, and in just ten minutes, Hou Shunzi drove the donkey cart over.

These ten minutes should also include the time to give the cart to the donkey, otherwise it will be faster.

Hou Shunzi and Er Linzi opened the two wooden doors, and then unloaded the threshold, and then drove the donkey cart out, and asked if they wanted to help drive the cart over.

Qian Yan waved her hand and refused, "No, my friend is on the other side of the intersection, I'll just give them the car, hard work for the two little brothers." ”

Hou Shunzi and the two hurriedly waved their hands and said, "It should be, it should be, this is what the small one should do, the girl should pay attention to it on the road." ”

Tilting smiled again and waved at them, got into the donkey cart, and drove towards the crossroads.

Ugly Chou had already received the things in this car into the space before, so there was nothing else in this car except for the two quilts that Xue Minghua took out at Chen's house.

Of course, the basket she hung in the back was still there.

Qian Yan thought that since Xue Minghua had already returned to Xue's house, the two quilts should not care, so she didn't put down the quilts and let Hou Shunzi take them back.

These two quilts are rare for the peasant family, and for a large family like the Xue family, it is estimated that they will be disposed of as garbage in the end.

So Qian Yan decided to simply put it on the car for the three of them, and it could make them more comfortable on the road.

Of course, it won't let you Xue Minghua suffer, when the time comes to give her a silver ticket, she will give an extra ten taels of silver, which happens to be the benefit fee given to her by He Linling, even if she sells them two quilts.
