Drive the carriage to the entrance of the inn. This inn is different from those encountered before. There is no lobby in front, and the two houses facing the street are divided into two shops.

There is a gatehouse in the middle that you can pass through, a restaurant on the right, and a teahouse on the left. In addition to the door opening in the middle, the word Penglai is written on the front of the three plaques.

That is to say, Penglai Tea House, Penglai Inn, and Penglai Restaurant are written in turn, so it can be seen that they are all the same owner.

Qingyan parked the carriage in front of the entrance of Penglai Inn, and a young man came up to greet her, and asked her if she wanted to stay at the inn, so he beckoned her to drive the carriage directly in.

It is said that the place where the guests live is in the backyard, which is a bit like the model of later generations with shops in the front and hotels in the back.

In fact, the guest rooms don't have to be next to the street. On the side of the street, they are noisy and uncomfortable, and the guest rooms at the back are more comfortable.

The clerk led Qingyan to drive the carriage to the second yard where animals and vehicles were kept, and then took her to the shopkeeper on the left after entering the door.

Qingyan was holding the money, but she was still carrying a bag of clothes as a cover. Other things, like sheepskin mattresses and quilts, were put into the space by Chouchou.

Although these things may not be lost in the car, she always feels that they are not very clean outside, because she plans to stay here for a few more days, so it is better to put them in the space.

I paid a deposit at the shopkeeper, and I made a reservation for two days first, and then just make up if I want to continue to live.

I took the key and followed the clerk to the guest room, which was still a medium room, but this time it was the one on the far side of the first floor.

The rooms of the upper, middle and lower levels of this inn are not divided by floors, but by yards.

The house that first enters the courtyard has two floors, the first floor is the Datong shop, and the second floor is the inferior room.

The second entrance is the medium room on the first floor and the upper class room on the second floor. There is a courtyard behind, which is divided into three small courtyards. It is said that it is specially for those customers with status, or some family members who travel together. Prepared by someone who can live alone in a small courtyard.

The business of this inn is still very good. Except for the room on the far side, the middle rooms are basically full. When she came over, she could hear movement in each room.

Because it was still early in the morning, Qingyan didn't have the nerve to look into other people's houses directly with her spiritual sense, it would be bad if she saw something she shouldn't have seen.

When she used her divine sense to explore the city before, she always looked at a wide range of places, and she would not look directly into other people's houses.

Not to mention that it requires special concentration, it is too uncivilized.

After the boy took her to the room, he asked if he wanted breakfast, and he could bring it directly.

Qingyan used it just now, of course she directly refused, but instead asked for some hot water, ready to wash up, it's been a long journey, and yesterday she just wiped it with a wet towel before falling asleep.

I don't know if the last guest just left, the room is quite warm, and she won't get cold even after washing.

She can now enter and exit Ugly's space. In fact, she can completely wash in the space, but she always feels a little awkward, so she might as well wash and wash freely in the inn.

By the way, you can also wash the changed clothes, of course not the cotton-padded jacket, she can't take apart and wash the cotton-padded jacket at all.

At this time, the padded jackets were all stuffed with animal hair or cotton, so they couldn't be washed directly at all, they had to be taken apart first.

Animal plush and cotton cannot be washed directly with water, and there is no way to use them after washing.

She is going to go out for a walk in a while, so she will buy some bigger and looser single clothes in this prefecture, and wear them over the cotton clothes. Although this is not very pretty, but if it gets dirty, it is more convenient to wash it directly, just like the ones worn by children. Kind of like a smock.

Qingyan took a comfortable bath in the big bathtub, her whole body was warm after washing, and she went directly to the bed, ready to sleep again.

Although she slept well outside the city, it was still not very comfortable after all. It was actually a bit cold in the middle of the night. She slept with her head covered in the quilt, somewhat holding her breath.

It’s good to raise your spirits now, and it’s not too late to go out for a stroll later.

This time, Qingyan slept until almost noon before waking up. After getting up, she got dressed and went out with money in her arms.

Now the money is bigger than before, and it will be a bit crowded in the satchel, and it is easy to see.

Qingyan plans to find a tailor in a while and sew a larger backpack, so that she can put her money in it, as well as other things.

It's more comfortable for you to stay inside with money, and it's easier for her to carry it on her back.

Although it is now in the shape of a cat, it is not good to hold a cat when you go to eat or teahouses. If people don't let you in, it will be more troublesome.

First, I went to a ready-made clothing store and bought two loose coats.

There are quite a few patterns, such as peony patterns, but she doesn't like them very much. She always feels that the clothes made of patterned satin look like shrouds, especially the ones with slanted breasts.

Although the direction of the plackets was different, she just felt a little awkward.

So I bought two plain ones, one in autumn scent and one in light green. These two colors are very fresh. Although the style is loose, it looks really good with her fair skin.

Even if it is chubby, it makes people think it is cute.

Later, I bought two sets of cotton breeches, which I will change and wear in the future.

After buying these, she went to the cloth shop again. This prefecture is different. It not only sells cotton, but also helps to make cotton quilts. The service is very good.

Qingyan ordered two quilts weighing eight catties. Although it was expensive, she felt it was worth it.

Although the sheepskin quilt was quite warm, she still felt that it was not as comfortable as the cotton quilt, especially the sheepskin quilt was not very breathable. When it was really cold, it was more windy, but sleeping in a slightly warmer room made her sweat all over.

It seemed that when she covered her head under the quilt last night, she was quite suffocated.

After paying the deposit, she agreed with the shopkeeper to pick it up tomorrow, so she went to the blacksmith's shop again, told the other party the size and style, and ordered two furnace hoops.

She was afraid that if there was only one, it would not have to be replaced if it burned out, so she ordered two iron hooks by the way, which were specially used to hook the furnace circle.

After finishing all this, she directly found a nearby restaurant with the largest number of families to eat and listen to the news by the way.

I still found a table in the corner of the lobby and sat down. After looking at the dishes and portions on other people's tables, I felt that the amount was much less than that of the county restaurant, so I ordered three dishes and one soup. What is steamed buns.

While waiting for the food to be served, she scanned the people sitting in the lobby with her spiritual sense, trying to find the chat content she was interested in and listen to.

I found out that except for some parents who were short-sighted and bragging, they complained to relatives and friends and wanted to borrow money from them.

It wasn't until she swept into the private room on the second floor that she heard a table inside talking about a troop of cavalry returning to the city yesterday afternoon.

Qingyan immediately became interested, she just wanted to hear this, she was really sleepy and came to give her a pillow.

She was also very curious, where did those cavalry come back from? Did they go to Qingfeng Town to suppress the bandits?Or came back from the border?
Although Chou Chou only said that he had seen Deputy General Wang before, if Liu Hao's guards were also among them, maybe it didn't notice it.

Although they didn't ride horses when they went to Qingfeng Town, it was because they ran away early to prevent the bandits from finding out, maybe they left the horses in Yunling County.

At this time, a man with a goatee sitting in the private room said: "Everyone has indeed seen this. It is said that Vice General Wang came back with great news. He went out of the city with the third son who guarded the Lord's house overnight. gone."

Another man with a square face answered, "I really know this. My second cousin is working as the deputy manager in the garrison mansion, and he went out of the city with him. Before he left, someone told him that he was going to Yunzhou for a few days."

A round-faced fat man next to him said: "So they are going to Yunzhou, and I don't know whether the news that Deputy General Wang brought back is good news or bad news. Yunzhou is not close to us, and Linzhou is in the middle." , it takes ten days and half a month to go and not come back."

The person sitting opposite him sighed, "You don't need to think about it, it won't be good news, if it is good news, how could you leave in a hurry.

And the West City Gate had switched defenses early today, so something urgent must have happened. "

The man with the goatee also sighed when he said this, "It's almost winter, I heard that Xixia and Tubo have made a lot of noise this time, it's not like they just looted some villages in small troubles before. The only thing to do is to get some winter materials.

This time it seems that the real war is about to start, and they don't know what the situation is on their side. Anyway, if there is a war in the severe winter, our soldiers may not be able to stand it.

With so many reinforcements transferred from other places, not to mention anything else, it is a problem to wear clothes for the winter, not to mention eating and drinking every day, and I am afraid that food will have to be collected again. "

The fat man nodded, "Yes, the court has not been established for a long time, and many places have not been smoothed out. It is estimated that we will not be able to take care of us for a while."

"Hey~Brother Huaiyuan's words are wrong. It's because the imperial court was established not long ago, and the border land is more important. You must know that the border is like a door. If the door is not strict, everyone can enter and exit. Wouldn't it be easy to be controlled by others? live?" said the square-faced man

"What Brother Liu Wei said is that we really don't need to belittle ourselves. Qinzhou is an important pass of the Song Dynasty. If it is lost, then Xixia and Tubo will drive straight in, and the Central Plains may be in turmoil again.

Therefore, the imperial court will definitely not just watch, but will definitely send troops to support, and will also find a way to solve the food and wages.Thinking about it, Mr. Li San should have gone to Yunzhou to seek cooperation, where General Yang is stationed, and his men are full of tiger and wolf troops..."

When Qingyan heard this, she was sure that the third son of the defense mansion should be Li Hao.

At first she thought that Vice General Wang mentioned by several people was Wang Linyan, but she was wrong when she thought about it, the one who came back yesterday was obviously one of Li Hao's guards.

Only then did I remember that Li Hao's two guards were also surnamed Wang, so it seemed that they had already been promoted to lieutenant generals.

Now that he heard about the Third Young Master Li, he became even more certain, and regretted that he didn't see Li Hao in the garrison mansion. It turned out that he left last night.

Qingyan did not visit the garrison last night, she did so after entering the city this morning.

One was that it was dark at night, and she couldn't see anything clearly with her spiritual sense, and the other was that she was afraid of seeing something she shouldn't see.

Now that it is certain, it seems that the defense of Qinzhou should be Li Hao's father.

I didn't expect that Old General Li was still alive. After all, he should be quite old before. Although I don't know how many years have passed, but I saw that Li Hao's guard looked much older. He was still a young man when he saw him. Now He has already turned into the appearance of a middle-aged uncle, and he should be indispensable in the coming years.

Then Li Hao's father should be quite old. Of course, the ancients got married early, even if Li Hao was already middle-aged, his father may not be too old, but there should be six or seventy years old.

Qingyan withdrew her spiritual consciousness and transmitted it to Chouchou, letting it stare at the defense mansion. If the Li family chatted, it might reveal something.

Finally, I listened to the recent events in this city. Most of them were trivial and trivial, and there was nothing special about them.

After the dishes were served, Qingyan covered Chouchou to eat in the space while eating, and also fed the rich couple by the way.

Fortunately, she was sitting in the corner, and no one noticed her, and her back was facing everyone in the lobby, even if she made some small movements, no one could see her.

When she came in with Youqian in her arms, Xiao Er looked at her more, but didn't say anything. After all, Youqian now looks like a two-month-old kitten, nestling obediently in Qingyan's arms , as if asleep, not like the kind of cat that would cause trouble.

There is also a reason why the restaurant business in Fucheng is good. The dishes here are more delicious than those in the county, and the taste is much better.

After finishing the meal, she packed another portion of what she had just eaten, and ordered a few more portions that looked very appetizing on other people's tables.

I paid the deposit directly and asked the store to prepare two food boxes, and I can just return it when I come over tomorrow.

After waiting for a while, Qingyan left the restaurant with a food box in one hand, and found a place nearby where there was no one around, and let Chouchou take it into the space.

I didn't want to go back to the inn directly after eating, so I started wandering around the city again.

I also went to the jewelry shop Rouge Shop to have a look, and bought some attractive and inexpensive ones, and planned to give them to relatives and friends when I returned to later generations.

Buying these in ancient times is much cheaper than buying them in later generations. Both the items and the packaging are purely handmade, so it is very suitable for gifting.

As for the ones they collect, most of them are high-quality goods, and they must not be given away or worn casually.

Not to mention how much those things are worth, the years of existence alone are of great research value, and you are afraid of being accidentally damaged if you wear them.

And some things can’t tell the origin. If it’s something like a funeral object, it’s not good for people to wear it. It’s better to buy a new one. You can choose what you like, and you can wear it without worry.
