Chapter 131 People in this town eat three meals a day
"Yes, Second Aunt, this dress of mine is made of floral fabric, which is very expensive." Yang Meihua walked forward and motioned Xiao Zhang to come and look at the fabric of her clothes.
"Well, the pattern on your dress does look nice." Little Zhang sat still, casually glancing at the white silk dress she was wearing. If it was a year ago, she might have been curious and stepped forward to see the pattern, whether it was printed or woven. But now her eldest son has a cloth shop, and she is wearing Xiangyunsha, so what kind of cloth could she not have seen?
Seeing that Xiao Zhang was not interested in this, Yang Meihua's sense of accomplishment in showing off was reduced a lot. She cursed in her heart, thinking that this poor girl was still very concerned about her reputation.
"It's getting late, are you going to stay at your parents' house for the night?" It was almost time for dinner, and the village head's wife got up to cook for her husband. Yang Meihua loved to show off too much, and she couldn't stand it any longer.
"Ah, I want to go back to town." Yang Meihua saw that it was indeed getting dark, so she hurried back to Wang's place and got on her husband's carriage back to Xiangjia Town.
"Hey, Yang Biao, let me tell you, your cousin speaks so funny." After Yang Biao came into the house after washing up in the evening, Qin Xiaoran could no longer hold back and imitated Yang Meihua's tone of voice and gestures.
"Oh, you don't know, the people in that town have to eat three meals a day. In the morning and afternoon, before it's time to eat, they will buy cakes and fruits as snacks..."
"People in this town have four dishes for one meal, two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup..." Qin Xiaoran imitated the character vividly. The artificial words combined with the child's face made Yang Biao laugh so hard that he fell backwards.
"I'm telling you, you should have less contact with her in the future. I'm afraid of being embarrassed." Qin Xiaoran climbed onto the chest of Yang Biao, who was lying on the bed and laughing wildly, and warned him in a fierce voice.
"Well, okay. Since we have separated our household registration, we are already two families." Yang Biao stroked her soft hair and went on a date with Zhou Gong soon.
"Biao'er, when you have time, please deliver the letter home. Be careful on the road." Little Zhang was surrounding her eldest son who was riding a horse. She remembered that she still had some things, so she asked him to wait a moment. She went into her room and handed him the clothes she had made for the child these days, and gave him an anxious instruction.
Yang Biao was afraid that she would get up in the middle of the night to make pancakes for him, just like last time, so he didn't tell her that he was going to the city today. The mule cart stayed at the headman's house to deliver goods to the village.
"I know, Mom. I'm leaving first. It's not daybreak yet. You should go into the house and get some sleep." He took the bag of clothes and asked Qin Xiaoran, who was sitting in front of the horse, to hold it. He grabbed the reins and patted the horse's butt. The horse felt the pain and started running immediately.
"Yang Biao, are you going to the provincial capital on horseback this time?" Ding Yan and Gu Yuan also caught up on horseback, so Qin Xiaoran asked him.
"Well, riding a horse is faster, so it only takes three days to reach the city." He opened three shops in Wenchang County on a whim, disrupting his original plan and staying in his hometown for a few more days. Now he has to hurry back. Cao Tongpan has already agreed with the headmaster of the academy on the time to enter Tianshi Academy, and he can't break the appointment.
"Did you buy these three horses?" When did you buy the horses? Qin Xiaoran had been playing with Yang Xiaohua in Yangjia Village, and she didn't know when he bought the horses, let alone when he bought the shop.
"Well, actually I bought six horses the day after I arrived. These three are the thousand-mile horses I bought yesterday, and the other two are in the backyard of the cloth shop." Yang Biao told her that when he and his guards were inspecting shops in the county yesterday, they saw someone selling a large number of horses, so they went to join in the fun. Ji Lang, who knows horses, saw that five of the horses were thousand-mile horses, so he bought them. The six horses he bought earlier were kept in Wenchang County for delivery.
"By the way, I also bought two guards. They will meet up with us in the county town and go to the provincial capital with us." The public security in ancient times was really bad. There was no surveillance on the road. People would disappear at any time, making him feel unsafe when traveling.
"Oh, two fists are no match for four hands, right?" Qin Xiaoran often heard Yang Biao say this, so she was not surprised at all that he would buy bodyguards.
"It seems their kung fu isn't as good as Jiang Sheng's." Qin Xiaoran secretly sized up the two newly bought guards for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.
"How can you tell whether his kung fu is good or not?" Yang Biao laughed. The price he paid was even higher than that of Jiang Sheng and the others, and it was sold by the government himself. The saying "you get what you pay for" is not nonsense. He should have better skills.
"Master, Guangping Prefecture is just ahead." Seeing the three words "Guangping Prefecture" at the city gate, they stayed in an inn because they had no shelter to rest at night while riding horses. After three days' journey, they finally arrived at the prefecture.
"Let's take a carriage next time." Although the carriage is slower, it is more comfortable for people to sit in. Qin Xiaoran rode a horse for three days and felt that his buttocks were very painful.
"Well, everyone, dismount and go into the city." It was the peak season, and according to the laws of the Shang Dynasty, only officials performing official duties or arresting criminals were allowed to ride horses at the city gate. Ordinary people who rode horses into the city would be arrested by the city patrol.
"Yang Biao, let's go have a bowl of wontons." Qin Xiaoran felt hungry when she saw the street stalls selling wontons.
"Okay, let's all go and eat." Yang Biao handed the reins of the three men to the two guards and asked them to find a place to accommodate the five horses.
"Boss, give us four bowls of wontons first, big ones." There were a lot of people at the stall and business seemed good, so Yang Biao shouted to the stall owner.
"Okay, please find a seat first." The stall owner was wrapping the wontons quickly while putting them into the pot.
"Yang Biao, your two guards don't want to eat wontons?" Why did Yang Biao only order four bowls of wontons and not order any for the two of them?
There was only one table empty, so Ding Yan and his companion shared the table with guests not far away.
"Eat. Wait until they arrive, then ask the boss to prepare the wontons. Otherwise, the wontons will be clumped together by the time they come to eat." I don't know how long they will be gone, so let's wait until they come back.
"Hey, this girl is pretty!" Just when Yang Biao finished eating the wontons and went to pay and see why the guards had not come back yet, leaving Qin Xiaoran alone at a table eating wontons, five ruffian young men also came to eat wontons and saw the pretty girl at first sight.
"Girl, I'll treat you to wontons. Come and play with us brothers." It's rare to see a pretty and elegant girl, especially when eating at a wonton stall. One of them couldn't help but reach out to touch Qin Xiaoran's face.
"Bang," Qin Xiaoran smashed the man's hand with the spice jar on the table, stood up angrily, and shouted angrily, "Get lost!"
"Oh, this girl is really awesome! Hey, I like it!" The man covered his hand that was hurt by the hit, and laughed maliciously with several of his companions. They liked little girls with such wild temperaments. Those girls who were easily scared to tears were boring to play with.
