Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 118 Entering Ruidu

There are four colors of melons and fruits on the table, and the fragrance of tea next to it.

Cui Panpan talked with him for a while, then got up to see off the guests.

To her surprise, Gu Yan also bought a couple of teas today and kept them in the store.

"Trouble Madam Cui, I'll be waiting in the capital in three days to wait for the Shannv to drive me and have a feast at the Golden Tower."

"Mr. Han Wu is serious. Shannu is a humble person. You two don't need to spend so much money. The whole banquet in Sajinlou will be saved, and you can find a place where you can talk conveniently."

Gu Yandao: "Miss Cui doesn't know that Sajinlou is the best restaurant in the capital. Not only can you drink and eat, but there are also kabukis to add to the fun."

Cui Panpan frowned slightly: "Shannu is a simple person, neither drinking nor having fun."

Han Wu suddenly said: "If this is not the case, please ask the lady to ask the mountain girl first, the place will be determined by the mountain girl, and then the lady will send someone to tell me to wait."

Cui Panpan nodded in agreement: "Young Master, please leave the address."

Han Wu left behind a store name: Wanjia Study.Wanjia Study is located in Chongyifang, it is a shop specializing in selling books.

Cui Panpan smiled and said tentatively: "It turns out that Mr. Han Wu is the master of Wanjia's study."

"It's just the family property." Han Wu replied casually.

Cui Panpan sent Han Wu and Gu Yan out the door, and returned to the backyard.

The mother-in-law followed behind her and said, "Cui Zi is tired, shall I go to the kitchen to make a bowl of sweet water?"

Cui Panpan nodded repeatedly.

There was a change of mother and daughter by her side, and she was not used to it at first, but soon realized the benefits.The parents are more careful and considerate than Chun'er, and they can always give Cui Panpan care when he needs it.A lot of things don't need her to ask, the parents know what to do.

Fortunately, Chun'er on the mountain didn't know what Cui Panpan was thinking, otherwise he would really cry.

Cui Panpan went back to the room and took a mobile phone from the bedside table.

There were two mobile phones in Lin Xiaoxiao's warehouse, one was for her personal use and the other was an old model.

When Cui Panpan went down the mountain to open a shop, Lin Xiaoxiao gave her the old one to use, and also gave her the solar power bank.

Cui Panpan usually watches the few videos on his mobile phone at night.Although almost the plot can be memorized, I still find it interesting every time I watch it.

Although mobile phones cannot make calls, they can be used as a tool for secretly transmitting information.

Cui Panpan turned on his phone and wrote down today's events on a sticky note.In this world, the tools that only she and Lin Xiaoxiao can use will not reveal the contents even if they are picked up by others.

Put the mobile phone into the original box, put the box into the cloth bag, and put some sundries inside to reduce the impact.

Cui Panpan called Amu and told him, "You go back to the mountain on horseback and hand this bag to the mountain girl yourself. Don't rush to come back, just come back with the mountain girl tomorrow."

Amu took the bamboo stick, hesitated and asked, "Do I have to come back with Shannv?"

"That's not necessary, you can do whatever you want. It's almost sunset now, there's nothing urgent in the store, and you don't need to drive at night."

Amu responded and went out.

Before closing the store, Cui Panpan took a nap after drinking sweet water.

It is said that the sweet water boiled by my parents is delicious. Instead of honey, some wild grass is added with some fruit juice. The taste is sour and sweet, very refreshing and refreshing.

It is said that Cui Panpan sometimes feels that he has lived the petty bourgeois life he once dreamed of.As a shopkeeper, someone waits on me, my work and life are not too busy, and the pressure is not so great.This is not living like a dream.

Of course, she didn't have any pressure because Lin Xiaoxiao supported her.I'm not busy because the pace of life in this age is slow.

Cui Panpan occasionally wants to put some pressure on herself, such as setting a business goal or something, because she is worried that she will slack off.

At night, there was a commotion in the yard, and it was Amu who came back overnight.

The next day, Lin Xiaoxiao and Kong Ci went to the grocery store together.

Lin Xiaoxiao first went to Cui Panpan to return the phone.Cui Panpan just finished washing.So Lin Xiaoxiao had breakfast with Cui Panpan, while Kong Ci went to talk to his father-in-law.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked in surprise: "Why did you wake up? Did you sleep late last night?" You must know that there is almost no entertainment at night in this day and age, and it is very difficult to stay up all night.

Cui Panpan sighed: "I couldn't sleep last night, so I just got up and wrote something."

"Huh?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked curious.

"I used to listen to my phone to sleep, but I didn't send it to you last night, so I couldn't fall asleep. My mind was full of cross-talk novels. I lay there for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. I thought about getting up and tossing for a while, and I might be sleepy. Once you start writing, it’s out of control.”

"You didn't fall asleep to write a novel last night?" Lin Xiaoxiao laughed out loud, "Where did you write it? Romance is still cultivating, you have to show me."

"It's all piled up on the bed in the house," Cui Panpan shook his head and sighed, "I have fully realized why the records in the slips are concise and concise, and writing on the bamboo slips is too much work."

"You write too much? Can't you update [-] words a day? Have you finished writing? How many words are you aiming for?" Lin Xiaoxiao smiled very unkindly.

Cui Panpan rolled his eyes: "Of course I haven't finished writing, the bamboo slips are not enough."

Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised: "Wow, you're really good at novels, don't you want to sell novels in the future?"

Cui Panpan said helplessly: "I regretted it when I woke up this morning. I should write the outline first, and then use my mobile phone to fill in the content later."

Lin Xiaoxiao blinked: "Are you really planning to write a novel?"

"Forget it," Cui Panpan said, "I'm not selling novels, I don't have the time to transcribe letters, I'm actually thinking about changing the tea room and study room these two days."

Cui Panpan worked as a shopkeeper for a month. After experiencing it personally, he felt that it was a bit strange that the tea room and study room were opened in a grocery store.

Tea and books are elegant items, and when they are put together in a grocery store, they feel nondescript.Most of the people who buy groceries are ordinary people, but tea and books can be said to be exclusive to the gentry.

Even if Cui Panpan recommended tea to common people, most of them would not be willing to buy it.Recommend books to them, but they can't read.

The fact is that the audiences of tea books and groceries are two different customer groups, upper and lower, and it is inappropriate to put them together.

especially books.

During the month of the lottery, there were almost no guests who were interested in the study.Even a guest like Han Wu Gu Yan didn't notice that there was a study room on the second floor.

"The owner of the shop just across the street is going back to his hometown for the elderly. I plan to take down his shop and move the tea room and study room there. In this way, the groceries don't have to be crowded on the first floor. The shelves are spread over two floors. With more space in the room, the customer experience will be better.”

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.She thought the first floor was too crowded.

"Since the tea book is allocated to the opposite side, I suggest you stay in the tea bookstore in the future. But, what does this have to do with your writing novels?"

Cui Panpan said: "I can't always receive every guest in person, and I often have nothing to say when talking with the guests, so I want to change the business method of the teahouse."

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she instantly understood Cui Panpan's thoughts: "Do you want to ask Mr. Storyteller to talk about novels in the tea room?"

"What do you think of this idea?" Cui Panpan asked expectantly.

"Yes, but be careful. Novels always have a background of the times. If you make taboos, it will be troublesome. You have to pay more attention. In fact, you can also talk about cross talk. You don't like Mr. Guo's cross talk the most. Find two guys and make up stories for each other , can't mess with others."

"Cross talk and tea, do they go together?" Cui Panpan hesitated.She knew that the status of a storyteller in ancient times was not high.

"You write something elegant, educational, and in line with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith. You have to check the content, and you can't engage in vulgar content."

Cui Panpan tapped his head: "I have to think about it. What you say makes sense, but it's not absolute. In this age, you are not afraid of taboos, but you are afraid of injustice."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded again and again: "You study the history of ancient literature, so you know better than me. If it really doesn't work, copy some from the history books, don't copy directly, just change it."

"No copying, I like originality."

Lin Xiaoxiao gave a thumbs up and gave a thumbs up.

Cui Panpan is ready to eat.Lin Xiaoxiao called Kong Ci over, and the three of them discussed the invitation of Han Wu and Gu Yan together.

Kong Ci is both civil and military, and he is more considerate than Lin and Cui.The last time Niu Shoushan moved to the village, Lin Xiaoxiao realized that she was not as meticulous as Kong Ci, and she often discussed with him when encountering problems.

Kong Ci listened to the matter between Han Wu and Gu Yan, pondered for a while and said: "Han Wu's name has never been heard, but there is a Gu family in Qi State.

It is rumored that Qi Guogong's favored concubine was born in the Gu family, and her daughter married the previous generation of Rui Guogong, who is now the Queen Mother Rui.Some members of the Gu clan followed her and immigrated to the country of Rui. "

Lin Xiaoxiao sensed the smell: "You suspect that Gu Yan is from the Gu clan of Qi State?"

"Most likely," Kong Ci said, "Rui Kingdom has only had two generations of rulers, and there was no Gu family in Rui before."

Cui Panpan said: "That is to say, the Gu family belongs to the Empress Dowager Rui, and Gu Yan is related to the Royal Family of Rui?"

"That's not necessarily the case," Kong Ci said with a smile, "There are a lot of descendants in the aristocratic family, not all of them can become talented."

Lin Xiaoxiao said: "Although this is the case, since Gu Yan is a member of the Gu family, it is possible for my affairs to be heard by the Empress Dowager Rui through him."

Kong Ci nodded and said: "Regardless of their identities, they are both descendants of the noble family in the capital. Once the identity of the mountain girl is confirmed, they will definitely be reported to the elders in the family, and sooner or later it will be passed to the court."

Suddenly a mountain girl who was conferred by the emperor appeared on his own land. No matter how low-key this mountain girl is, the king will definitely want to see her.

Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't afraid at all.From the moment she decided not to conceal her identity, she was mentally prepared.In the past, I had to receive the leaders of the inspection team every year at work, and there was nothing to be afraid of if I didn't do something wrong.

"It doesn't matter, just see you. We are not bandits, so we don't need to hide like bandits. Wouldn't it be better if we could get the care of the royal family of Rui."

Cui Panpan said: "Since you have decided to meet them, where do you plan to meet them? I think they tend to be in the capital."

"Then go to the capital," Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Kong Ci, I will go to the capital with you first, and rent a yard there for a few days. I also want to see the capital of Rui Kingdom."

Compared with Zheng State and Song State, Rui State is just a small country of counts. Why is Lin Xiaoxiao interested in its capital?Of course it is because this capital once defeated the Qin army.

During the prosperous period, Qin State seldom lost battles. It is a miracle that such a small country forced the Qin army back.

Lin Xiaoxiao once imagined how to win such a battle with a city without reinforcements.She has no answer.

Cui Panpan also wanted to see him, so he said, "I'll go too, as long as the two of you can't afford the scene, bring Auntie, Auntie, and Amu."

"Then you hand over the things in the store, and we will set off early tomorrow morning."

So, after Cui Panpan left a message to Wanjia Study, he went to study with Lin Xiaoxiao.

It is only five miles from Chongyifang to Ruidu, plus Ruiguo has built a very smooth official road for business, Lin Xiaoxiao only needs a few minutes to get there by car.But this time she chose to travel low-key and took a carriage with Cui Panpan.

Cui Panpan's message to Wanjia's study was left yesterday afternoon. As soon as they entered the capital today, someone followed them.These people were sent by Gu Yan.

After entering the capital city and walking down a street, Kong Ci, A Mu and A Nufu found the stalker.From this, it can be inferred that Gu Yan underestimated them a little, and the person sent to follow them was not professional.

"Shannv, someone is following us." Kong Ci reminded in a low voice.

Cui Panpan was timid, and asked in a low voice, "How many people are there?"

Father Ah said: "There is only one." Both Kong Ci and Ah Mu agreed.

"We are a group of outsiders. Some people should be curious about us." Lin Xiaoxiao disapproved, "Don't worry about them, let's find a place to rent it first. I heard that the people in Ruidu don't close their doors at night, so we will never encounter bandits in the city."

Therefore, the soldiers were divided into two groups.Lin Xiaoxiao, Cui Panpan, A Numu and Amu were shopping in the city.Kong Ci and Ah Nvfu went to find a place to rent.A group of people agreed to meet at a restaurant near the city gate before noon.

After Kong Ci and A'nv'er left, Lin Xiaoxiao asked Amu: "Is the follower still there?"

Amu was silent for a while and said, "It's still there."

"Then let him go shopping with us."

Although the country of Rui is small, its capital city is not small.

Lin Xiaoxiao popped up the system map, did a silent calculation and found that the capital city of Rui State was three times the size of the capital city of Hua State.

She soon discovered the reason for the large size of the city.The cultivated land area in the capital actually accounts for two-thirds.And the cultivated land is not concentrated in the outer ring, but evenly distributed throughout the city.

With such a layout, it seems that not only the common people are farming in the city, but even noble families are farming.Their fields are in their own homes.

There is only one city gate in Ruidu, but the main street has four lanes: east, west, north, south.The location of the City Lord's Mansion is not to the north, but in the middle.From the map, the city centered on the city lord's mansion and radiated outward in a ring shape, and the regional planning looked very neat.

Lin Xiaoxiao subconsciously stepped on the street under her feet.

The roads in the city are more neatly built than those outside the city, which is very convenient for carriages to pass.If there is a war, the speed of vehicle transportation or support will increase a lot.
