Chapter 235 Thief
Acropolis is a small and medium-sized town in the west, close to Minnan Prefecture, and it can be considered a decent town they have encountered along the way.

And if they want to pass through Minnan Prefecture, they are not on their original route and need to take a detour.

Lin Baoer didn't want to go through the wrong path any more, so he just decided to rest here for a while.

In April, when hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, Lin Baoer saw no less than ten kinds of bouquets of flowers, all climbing and planted on the roadside streets, and even the roofs of some houses were wrapped with those flowers.

"This town is very different from the ones I've seen before."

Riding on the horse, Lin Baoer admired.

Even the fragrance of flowers can be heard in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Lin Zhishen glanced everywhere and nodded, "Indeed, I have never seen it either."

Her words surprised Lin Baoer, "Don't you often travel this road? How come you haven't seen it before?"

Lin Zhishen explained, "The waterway is easier to travel than this road, so in the past I always traveled by water and never went this way."

Hearing this, Lin Baoer touched his nose guiltily and laughed twice.

The main reason was that she wanted to play on the road while traveling, and didn't want to travel just for the sake of traveling, so she rejected Lin Zhishen's idea of ​​taking the water route from the beginning. What fun would it be to stay on the water all day? And she was seasick.

Of course, she didn't say anything about seasickness, she just wanted to drive slowly, and Lin Zhishen followed her advice and indulged her very much.

"There's an inn there, why don't we rest there?" Lin Zhishen pointed to the Laifu Inn not far away.

Lin Baoer nodded.

After the two entered, they opened two rooms and ordered a large table of dishes.

While waiting for the food to arrive, Lin Baoer deeply realized the difference between a normal store and the previous black store.

Look at this dish, it's full of color, flavor and taste. It's nothing like their expensive and unpalatable food.

Lin Baoer hid a mouthful of parfait, and her eyes immediately lit up.

It melts in your mouth and leaves a fragrant aroma on your lips and teeth.

"This is delicious!" She quickly recommended it to Lin Zhishen.

Lin Zhishen chuckled and tried a piece, agreeing with her words.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms is also delicious!

Beef, shrimp wontons, braised pig trotters...

The taste of each one was in line with Lin Baoer's wishes. It finally made up for her sacrifices during this period, and she was extremely satisfied.

"Hey, have you heard? The daughter of Jiang's wife is still seeking death! Yesterday I saw that the Chiang Mansion invited many doctors to come in, and they all looked sad!"

"Really?! Wow! It's unbelievable. It's been so long and you still haven't given up. If it were me, I'd be happily married right away. Wouldn't it be nice to be rich and glorious?"

"Haha, so this is the difference between me and you. Miss Jiang doesn't like the son of the Wang County Magistrate's family. If she likes him, why are you making such a fuss? Wouldn't she have married long ago?"

"If you ask me, that prince is not a good person. He has been wandering around the fireworks and willow alleys since he was a child. Which girl from a good family likes his dissolute appearance? If it weren't for his father being the county magistrate, look at Jiang I don’t mind looking at him seriously!"

"Shhh! Are you crazy?! If someone hears it, you'll get some good results!"

"Hmph! What am I afraid of?! Are they afraid that other people will say this?"

……

Lin Baoer's eating speed gradually slowed down, and he listened to the gossip at the next table with his ears straightened up, thinking it was amusement.

[Sure enough, this kind of place is the fastest source of ancient gossip, and you can hear everything. 】

After hearing this, Lin Baoer forgot about it. After eating and drinking, he went back to the room and prepared to have a dark sleep.

"I'll go out to do some shopping, and you can just rest." Lin Zhishen said. Lin Baoer was naturally willing and nodded hurriedly.

Lin Zhishen also heard what the group of people said just now, but he didn't take it to heart. After all, this kind of thing happened often all the way. Every family forced their daughters to marry whomever, and forced their sons to marry whomever. Just listen to it for fun.

It was a full fifty kilometers from the Acropolis to the next town, and they needed to buy a lot of things for the road, so Lin Zhishen went straight to a pastry shop and a clothing store after leaving the inn.

Lin Baoer has a very picky mouth and won't eat anything that tastes bad or dry, so pastries are perfect for her.

There are also clothes. You will always encounter various bumps and bruises on the road, so you need to bring two sets of ready-made clothes to change.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhishen chose two sets of dresses that fit Lin Baoer's figure very closely.

"Young master, you have really good taste. These two sets are the two sets of ready-made clothes with the best materials in my store. They are very comfortable to wear. I'm sure you will want to buy them again after wearing them this time!"

The shopkeeper is so clever that he praises these two clothes as such because they are in heaven.

Lin Zhishen naturally understood what he meant. They were not short of money now, so Lin Zhishen didn't dwell too much on this and just threw a hundred taels of silver notes over.

"Looking for it." The words were concise and to the point.

The shopkeeper was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth.

"Okay, sir, wait a moment, right now!"

Finally, the shopkeeper asked Lin Zhishen for eighty taels of silver.

Lin Zhishen shook the money in his hand and could barely accept the figure. If the shopkeeper was greedy again, he would be ready to teach him how to behave.

This shop specializes in women's clothing. Lin Zhishen searched for a long time before he found a shop specializing in men's clothing on another road.

Following the same pattern, he also bought two of them, spending ten taels of silver.

"Wrap them all up and send them to the Raffles Inn."

Shopkeeper: "Okay!"

Just when Lin Zhishen turned to leave, he suddenly bumped into someone accidentally.

A cry of pain came, but it did not come from Lin Zhishen.

He looked at this tightly wrapped "man" who was a full head shorter than him and frowned.

"Sorry, sorry." The man apologized to him in a low voice, and then turned around and entered the store.

Lin Zhishen didn't take this incident to heart and left.

But it wasn't until he arrived at another dessert shop that he was shocked to find that his money bag was missing.

He immediately thought of the person who bumped into him just now, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.

After returning to the shop, the figure of the man just now was nowhere to be found.

"Shopkeeper, a man of this height just came to your place. Do you remember where he went?"

The shopkeeper recalled, "He just came in and looked around and then left. Is there anything wrong with the young master?"

Lin Zhishen did not explain and left expressionlessly.

It seems that he came prepared.

With no money left, Lin Zhishen simply returned to the inn and went out to buy something later.

After sleeping until night, Lin Baoer got up contentedly and went downstairs to have dinner, but halfway through the meal, she almost jumped up.

"What did you say?! All seventy taels of silver were stolen?!"
