The little lady of Xuanmen has become popular in the sixth palace by fortune-telling

Chapter 223 Meeting the Wen Deng

Xu Anan climbed up quickly. She looked at the majestic city gate with the word "Yangzhou" written on it.

There was some surprise in her eyes. She had only heard that Yangzhou was beautiful in March, but she had never seen what Yangzhou was like in winter.

The two drove the donkey cart into the city, and Cheng Huai also went to a shop. When he came out, there was an extra baggage. Xu Anan did not expect that there was 10 taels of silver notes in it.

Cheng Huai also bought a large house in Yangzhou anonymously. In order to hide his identity, he only hired two slaves. Qiuyue was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, who took care of their daily life. Mother Jiang was responsible for shopping and cooking.

There is no arrest warrant in Yangzhou yet, so Cheng Si probably hasn't thought that they have left the boundary of Qijing and come to another place.

It's just that on the way to Qijing, more manpower was used to check him.

Along the way, there were hidden guards such as Mu Qing providing cover, so their situation was relatively safe.

Qiuyue and Jiang's mother were very worried.

Their original owners had left, and since they were not close friends, they were naturally left behind. Therefore, they all cherished this opportunity to be favored by the new owner.

With money, the quality of life will naturally improve.

Including Cheng Huai, he also found a better doctor and gave him hundreds of taels of top-quality pills. After taking them, he recovered faster. In just three days, he could no longer walk with a limp.

Since they lived in the house, even the two servants who took care of them rarely saw them. Although they were confused, they could only keep their mouths shut.

Because these two people are newcomers to Yangzhou.

the second day of the twelfth lunar month
The weather in Yangzhou is also cold, so I have to put on cotton-padded clothes and use charcoal to keep warm at home.

Xu Anan looked at the sky. It seemed like there had been frost last night, and there was frost on the still green leaves.

Cheng Huai also went out early in the morning, and Xu Anan didn't know where he went.

Bored, she could only look for Jiang's mother and Qiuyue.

This was the first time for the two of them to talk to their host, and they were both a little flattered.

Upon hearing Xu Anan's question, Jiang's mother was stunned for a moment: "Madam, do you want to go out to play?"

Xu Anan nodded: "Is there anything delicious in Yangzhou? It's my first time here and I don't know much about it. Please tell me."

When it comes to eating, Qiuyue becomes interested. She has a lively temperament, a small round face, and chatters like a little sparrow: "Madam, there are many delicious foods in Yangzhou. We have a Sifang Street here, and there is They all sell Yangzhou specialty delicacies. There are so many shops and so much food. It would take you more than half a month to finish the entire Sifang Street."

Xu Anan: "?"

What kind of waste, it takes half a month to eat on the street?It only takes her three days to do it.

Mother Jiang was smiling at the side: "There are many delicacies in Sifang Street, such as Thousand Layer Oil Cake, Huangqiao Shaobing, Salted Duck Eggs, Yangzhou Pickles, Hairy Crabs and Jiangdu Fangsu. I guarantee that my wife will never want to leave Yangzhou after eating it once." After eating, let’s go boating on Liuye Lake, it’s a beautiful day.”

"It's just winter now, and there aren't many people hanging around Liuye Lake. It will be nice to wait until March when the flowers are in full bloom."

Xu Anan might not be able to wait until March of Yangchun, but she could eat all the Yangzhou delicacies now, so she pulled Qiuyue and Jiang's mother out of the house quickly, heading straight to Sifang Street.

When the carriage arrived at its destination, Xu Anan was dazzled by the dazzling array of food. The heat of the food diluted the cold air of winter, and the cries of sellers and the noisy sounds of people passing by converged into the most noisy scene in the world.

Xu An'an quietly took Cheng Huaiye's 100 taels of silver and started to eat lavishly.

At first, when Xu Anan asked Qiuyue and Jiang's mother to sit down, they were a little embarrassed because there wasn't much food on each plate.

Xu Anan looked weak at first glance. One plate might not be enough for her, so how could they have the nerve to share a piece of the pie?

When the dishes were served, Jiang's mother and Qiuyue's expressions were a little split. Did she order the entire restaurant?There was no room on the table, so the waiter awkwardly placed the remaining dishes on three large tables.

Then he looked at them with puzzled eyes, as if he didn't understand why they ordered so many.

Jiang's mother didn't understand either. In her opinion, Xu Anan's behavior was simply a waste. Even if a plate was only enough for one bite, so much could still stretch a person to death.

So the two decided to help Xu Anan eat some to avoid wasting it.

It was only at the back that they finished the whole table, and Xu Anan had already finished the whole table.

They were full and she had already started on the second table.

The two of them looked numb at the end. They were too superficial. With Xu Anan's ability, he could win first place in the Big Eater Competition.

Finally, she packed some and brought them back to Cheng Huai to eat.

Xu Anan was really full this time. She rubbed her belly and walked slowly as if she was pregnant.

Mother Jiang and Qiuyue followed her on the left and right.

Xu Anan looked at the remaining delicacies regretfully and sighed: "Let's eat again tomorrow."

Mother Jiang: "..."

Qiuyue: "..."

They were really afraid that Xu Anan's stomach would be ruined by eating like this.

Suddenly, a shadow rushed out. Mother Jiang was shocked and quickly prepared to block it with her body.

Xu Anan narrowed his eyes slightly, turned sideways and grabbed the man's collar.

The visitor raised his head and looked at Xu Anan, who was startled. Xu Anan also opened his eyes in surprise: "Smell the light?!"

Behind Wen Deng, there were a group of big men chasing Wen Deng: "You brat, you run pretty fast. It's a blessing for our lady to like you. Don't be shameless. Let her play for a while until she gets tired of it." That’s it.”

The strong man spoke with an insulting voice. Wen Deng gritted his teeth and his eyes were scarlet. He clenched his fists and finally turned into a plea: "Ming...cousin, please save Wen Luo."

Wenluo?

Xu Anan was even more puzzled: "Shouldn't you and Wenluo be in the capital? Why are you here?"

Wen Deng said anxiously: "I won't be able to explain this for a while. This family wanted to arrest me as a man's favorite for a young lady from a wealthy family. When I ran away, they found where Wenluo and I lived and arrested her. .”

"Cousin, help me."

The strong man heard that this boy could actually meet his relatives here, but no matter who he was, he had to take this boy away. This was the person Miss Lan wanted by name, and he was worth 1000 taels of silver.

Wen Deng is like a walking money bag in their eyes.

The brawny man approached eagerly: "I advise you to stop meddling in the Lan family's affairs and give us this boy so that we can do business more easily. Otherwise, I will beat you up just as well."

Mother Jiang's face turned pale. Yangzhou Lan's family was considered to be the local snake in Yangzhou. Without him, although their family did not have any high-ranking officials, they were rich and were the richest man in Yangzhou.

Money can make people go around, and they can also bribe officials in Yangzhou.

Xu Anan stuffed the things in his hands into Wen Deng's arms, rubbed his fists and walked forward: "You all stay away. Don't blame me if you get hurt accidentally."
