Dressed as the sister of the runaway heroine

Chapter 26

They are currently in the outer city of the capital, if they want to go to Guozijian, they have to wait until the gate of the inner city is opened tomorrow before they can enter.

The two of them had to find a place to live in the outer city of the capital.

Even though it was only the outer city of the capital, outside the Yongding Gate, there was every inch of land and every inch of gold. The two of them had to find a place to live before the curfew, or they would be seen by the officials on the street, and they would have to be caught in a big prison.

So Gu Heng didn't have time to play around.

Mrs. Chen came to the capital more than ten years ago, and now she has changed a lot. They asked many passers-by, and after repeated confirmation, they found a small inn in the northernmost part of the outer city.

It is said to be an inn, but it is actually a Datong shop where foreigners live.

In this way, Mrs. Chen spent a lot of money, and Mrs. Chen's heart ached so much that the two of them simply didn't eat dinner, and drank more than half of the pot of tea from the shop.

Sleeping on a bunk with a dozen women.

Next to Gu Heng was a very muscular woman who looked like she was doing manual labor. She snored loudly as soon as she lay on the bed. Gu Heng put the quilt on her head, but the quilt smelled musty.

And foot odor.

Gu Heng couldn't fall asleep, but Chen who was sleeping next to her started snoring in the blink of an eye.

Gu Heng drank a lot of water and wanted to go to the toilet in a short while. She got up from the bed, and after solving her own problems, she returned to her seat, only to find that the strong woman directly took her place. half position.

Gu Heng: "..."

She lay down on her side, drowsy, she fell asleep, in a daze, she was pulled up by Chen Shi.

Mrs. Chen took out new clothes from her bag and put them on for Gu Heng. She did not know where to find some jewelry, and even rubbed rouge on Gu Heng.

Gu Heng wondered if Mrs. Chen was going to sell herself. After cleaning up, Mrs. Chen said: "We represent your brother's face, so don't be ashamed. Go to the Imperial College today and behave properly, you know?"

Gu Heng nodded.

The two came out of the inn and saw a chaotic seller in the alley.

Chen Shi and Gu Heng were so hungry that they went to the stall and sold two big steamed buns and a big bowl of Chaos. The two ate the buns with Chaos, and Chen wanted to order more soup.

But Gu Heng said: "Mother, if you drink too much, where will you go to find the toilet later? Drink less water."

When Chen heard this, she was surprised: "It's rare for you to be smart, you damn girl."

After the two had finished eating, they carried their packages on their backs and set off on the road.

During the rush, Chen babbled about the general situation of the capital.

After the outer city enters the Yongding Gate, there is the inner city. The inner and outer cities are populated by ordinary people, and the commerce is extremely developed. Going further south from the inner city is the imperial city, where most of the dignitaries live. , which is where the emperor lived.

Guozijian was at the junction of the imperial city and the city, and they had to walk all morning to get there.

The sun is very bright today, but Gu Heng is very excited.

The market in the outer city is very prosperous, with many small handicraft workshops and shops, and even many commercial centers gathered together.

It is said that there are many poor women in the surrounding area who will come here to find a job, either as a female worker in a textile factory or a job in a shop. There are women everywhere on the street, and the atmosphere is very open.

It is said that there are no less than one million people living in the entire outer city, which can be regarded as a super large ancient city.

It's just that when Gu Heng was walking, he looked left and right, as if he had never seen the world.

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "You damn girl, there are people everywhere here, it's hard to guarantee that some bad people will see your stupid appearance and put a sack on it for you to sell."

Gu Heng was taken aback for a moment: "Mom, you will scare me."

Mrs. Chen continued: "Walk well, don't look left and right. When your mother and I were begging for a living in the capital, some little sisters would disappear inexplicably, and they didn't know that they were sold to that kiln. It's really pitiful."

Hearing this, Gu Heng quickly looked ahead.

They walked all morning and finally arrived at the inner city gate. Today is Muxiu, and there are a lot of people rushing to the inner city. They lined up at the city gate for a long time before they passed the city gate.

Gu Heng's hungry stomach was rumbling, Chen felt ashamed, so she took her to a small stall selling cooking cakes.

The elder brother who sold cooking cakes saw the two people approaching, and said with a smile: "Fragrant and crispy lard cooking cakes, five yuan each!"

Chen's eyes widened when he heard the price.

"Five Wen, and the outer city is only three Wen. It's only passed one city gate! You're too black-hearted."

This elder brother obviously saw a lot, he said: "It is this family, my monthly booth tax is quite a lot, I like to buy it or not."

Gu Heng looked at Chen shi eagerly, so Chen shi had no choice but to reluctantly buy a sesame seed cake, share a small portion among himself, and give the rest to Gu Heng.

"You damn girl is as thin as a monkey, and you still eat so much."

Gu Heng took a bite of the crispy lard biscuits, it was so delicious that she wanted to cry.

Seeing her daughter's hopeless appearance, Mrs. Chen hurriedly dragged her towards the imperial city.

The inner city is more affluent, and the roads are more spacious. You can occasionally see rich people wearing silk and satin on the roads, and there are various high-end shops on the streets.

It's just that there are still many beggars on the street, and the little beggars gather together, waiting for the dignitaries to come out of the high-end restaurants, throwing a few copper coins at random.

At this moment, from an extremely magnificent restaurant, several handsome young masters came out.

Gu Heng saw Wang Liulang and Wang Wulang among them at a glance, and Gu Heng hurriedly pulled Chen away.

There are millions of people in the capital, and she can meet this. Her luck is really bad.

Seeing Gu Heng pulling her suddenly, Chen was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with you, you damn girl?"

Gu Heng said in a low voice: "I just saw the people who Fu Guogong."

When Chen heard this, he walked even faster.

Fortunately, there were so many people on this street that the people in Fuguo's mansion didn't notice them.

The past two days have been peaceful in the capital, but she has forgotten the previous things, they still have to be more careful.

The two walked until the afternoon before arriving at the Imperial College.

Perhaps it was the day when the students of the Imperial College were leaving school, and the people and carriages here were all crowded into a pot of porridge. Gu Heng and Mrs. Chen squeezed in with difficulty, and just talked to the official of the Imperial College.

Before the official could answer, Gu Heng was hit by someone. Gu Heng's center of gravity was unstable, and the back of his head hit the hard stone slab.

Gu Heng felt a warmth in the back of his head.

He rolled his eyes and passed out.
