Medical Brocade

Chapter 297 News
Within Qingcheng, the east, south, west, and north divisions are relatively clear.

The east of the city is mostly the place where the people in the city live, and the mansion of the city lord is also in the east of the city; the south of the city is close to the river and sea, so it is a fish market, and it is also a wharf for loading and unloading goods for business exchanges, and it is also a place where ships pass temporarily to rest and replenish energy; Brothels, restaurants, teahouses and taverns gathered in the west of the city, which became a place for eating, drinking and playing; as for the north of the city, because it was close to the city gate, there were many small-scale shops, and the Fengle Inn where she lived was in the north of the city.

"Little brother, apart from the northern part of the city, the only place to visit in the city is the western part of the city. You have already visited all the shops in the northern part of the city. Why don't you go to the west part of the city?" Zhang Hu gave Qu Ruowen a brief introduction of the city. After that, I asked, basically no one can refuse this good place in the west of the city, especially men.

After Qu Ruowen heard this, her brows were pale, she was not interested in teahouses and taverns, as for restaurants, she had only eaten breakfast, it was too early to go at this time, let alone having fun, she probably wouldn't be able to stay long in a brothel like this, It's useless to go there, and the brothels are open at night, and the west of the city is not a place to play at present.

"Let's go to the east of the city." Qu Ruowen wanted to find a secluded place to live in the city instead of an inn where people come and go. Since the places where people live are gathered in the east of the city, the only way to go is to go there. I don't know why Qingcheng has such a structure.

"East of the city?" Zhang Hu never thought that Qu Ruowen would choose the east of the city. Even the south of the city is better than the one from the east of the city.

When I sent Zhang Hu to Ma Tutou's house, Qu Ruowen had already passed by. No wonder I walked for a long time, from the north of the city to the east of the city. The short distance only shows that Qingcheng is not big.

"Let's go this way." Qu Ruowen pointed to the left and turned directly to the east of the city. Compared with Zhang Hu, he thought she was the one leading the way.

On both sides of the main street in the east of the city, there are indeed rows of low-rise houses, all of which are used for living. Occasionally, you can see a private school with the sound of reading books.

On the street, there are far fewer pedestrians coming and going than in the north of the city. Because of this, the east of the city looks very quiet, with a sense of tranquility and distance.

"Little brother, are you here to look at the house, do you want to do something?" Zhang Hu thought.

"No." Qu Ruowen didn't want to reveal more.

"That's... to live here?" Zhang Hu guessed.

"Well, at least stay here for a period of time, maybe ten days and a half months, maybe a year or two, or maybe stay here." Qu Ruo asked himself, not sure.

"Little brother, you said earlier..." Zhang Hu raised his big palm, Qu Ruowen glared at him immediately, implying a warning, and he withdrew his hand resentfully, "In this case, why don't you live in my house, I'm the only one in my house, There are actually two rooms in the house, you don't know the place where you live, and someone lives with you, so it's good to have someone to take care of you, right?"

Qu Ruowen hesitated a little, it would be safe to live in the policeman's house, but fearing that it would be inconvenient, she immediately refused.

"It's just a matter of time. I don't want to sleep well one day, but Ma Tutou suddenly rushes in looking for me with you covered in blood. I'd better find another place."

Zhang Hu thought about it, and it wasn't impossible. Qu Ruowen happened to meet anyone who made him the most embarrassed.

"Then how about I send someone to find out for you where there is a house for rent here?"

"That's fine." Qu Ruowen didn't refute this kindness, and with the help of a policeman, everything would be easier.

Although this matter was handed over to Zhang Hu, since they were here, Qu Ruowen and Zhang Hu took a look at the house in the east of the city.

Walking through the east of the city, Qu Ruowen just glanced at it, and didn't go up to inquire, mainly to see which area is more suitable to live in.

"Little brother, are you hungry, why don't you go to the west side of the city and have something to eat?" Zhang Hu asked.

"Zhang Butou, you seem to like going to the west of the city to eat, drink and have fun?" Qu Ruowen raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, every time after arresting a major criminal, the brothers would go to the tavern to order a few small dishes and drink a bowl. The wine here is strong or sweet. After drinking the strong wine, the stomach will be full It’s as if it can be burned.” Zhang Hu smacked his mouth as he said that, as if he was reminiscing.

"Drinking will hurt your health, I'm not interested." Qu Ruowen doesn't care about anything strong or sweet, drinking is easy to cause accidents, she is alone outside, she must pay attention to everything, naturally she doesn't drink alcohol.

"That's it..." Zhang Hu was a little disappointed, "What about the restaurant? There should be something you like to eat, right?"

"Also..." Qu Ruowen thought it was good at first, but since it opened in this area, the restaurant's cost would not be much less. The eight dishes that Wei Lige ordered at Baiweixuan back then were all worth it I have been on his monthly salary for more than a year. Looking at Zhang Hu's appearance, I know that he will definitely not be the type with a big pocket, and he has not married a wife at this age, and he is saving money, "Forget it, the restaurant is so noisy. , if you want to eat, you can also eat street snacks, which can be regarded as the real characteristics of Qingcheng."

"That's so embarrassing." Zhang Hu felt a little sorry, after all, he was his savior, and he really felt guilty for buying a street stall.

"Since you are treating guests, I can decide what you want to eat, right?" Qu Ruo asked.

"Of course." Zhang Hu nodded quickly, put his hand on Qu Ruowen's shoulder, "Go, I'll take you there."

Qu Ruowen was not used to being carried by others, so he coughed lightly and shrugged his shoulders.

"Little brother, what's the matter, your throat is uncomfortable?" Zhang Hu didn't feel it, and asked with concern.

"Zhang Butou, we haven't reached the point of being brothers yet." Qu Ruowen avoided Zhang Hu and kept a distance from him. For some reason, she seemed to be unable to bear the approach of others, except for the person she was familiar with.

"If you can't be a brother, you can still be a friend." Zhang Hu can think about it, and it can be said that he is very slow, and he didn't notice Qu Ruowen's displeasure at all, "Here we are, this is it."

The bustling and bustling west of the city is more prosperous than she imagined. It was just after dusk, and it was already crowded. All the restaurants, teahouses, taverns, and brothels were open for business, and the stalls on the street were already full. Everyone gathered here to choose their own. Like to eat.

"Little brother, what do you want to eat? When you get here, don't be cautious. If you are cautious, you won't have anything to eat." Zhang Hu said, but Qu Ruo asked after thinking about everything.

Just as Qu Ruowen was about to speak, she was pushed suddenly, and her whole body staggered, but she managed to stabilize her body. When she stood still, she opened her mouth. Before she could say a word, she was pushed again.

"Is this place still available for shopping?" Qu Ruo asked, his words changed completely.

"Little brother, this is how it is here. It's crowded and lively. If you're not used to it, I think I'll go buy it. You can wait here." Qu Ruowen squeezed into the crowd, as if he could be drowned at any time , Zhang Hu was really worried that she was walking inside alone.

"Alright, you can buy whatever you want. You know the characteristics of Qingcheng better than I do." Zhang Hu just said what was in her heart, she would rather wait here.

After Zhang Hu left, Qu Ruowen walked up a step to avoid being knocked around.

After waiting for a while, Qu Ruowen didn't see Zhang Hu coming back. The night wind was cold, and she was not surrounded by the hot atmosphere at all. At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Wei Lige's embrace, hiding inside, which was warm and wouldn't worry about getting hurt.

She shook her head. Since she decided to leave the capital, she was leaving his shelter. She looked around and found a teahouse, so she planned to wait there.

After entering the teahouse, she found a seat by the window, so that she could see Zhang Hu immediately when he came back.

The business inside the teahouse was quieter than outside. When she came in, there were still a few tables and chairs in the lobby vacant.Although the teahouse business is not very hot, it does not affect the characteristics of the teahouse itself.The refreshments here are quite exquisite. A pot of tea is served with two small dishes of snacks, mostly pastries and nuts, which allow people to chat slowly while tasting.

"Have you heard about the day King Jing and Miss Shi got married?"

Qu Ruowen paused while holding the teacup, and listened attentively to the conversation at the table next door. He had already heard about their marriage, but he didn't know when it was actually scheduled. Unexpectedly, the people in Qingcheng were well-informed.

"I've heard that the eighth day of the first lunar month is an auspicious day suitable for marriage. My sister came out of the cabinet that day. If it wasn't for my sister's release from the cabinet, I would have rushed to the capital to have a look. The Hu family and the Dong family made it together, I don't know how amazing it will be!"

Dong family?

Qu Ruowen's eyes flashed, what does this have to do with the Dong family, and he paid more attention to the conversation at the next table.

"The Hu family originally dealt in silk and satin, so how come the Dong family, an antique dealer, is also here? Is it a mistake?"

"How could I be mistaken about such a big event. The wedding between King Jing and Miss Shi was so grand and unprecedented. Their costumes are naturally more exquisite. The accessories on Fengguanxia are all from the Dong family. On Fengguan A single pearl can make me live comfortably for the rest of my life, and it is also inlaid with the entire phoenix crown. Do you think there is anyone else in Qi who can have that ability besides the Dong family?"

"That's right, the Hu family is a silk merchant after all."

Afterwards, what was discussed at the next table, Qu Ruowen didn't hear a single word clearly. Qu Ruowen was a little worried that the Dong family was involved in this incident. Hu family and Dong family, Yan Wei never made a move.However, it might be that she was overthinking, Yan Weijue wanted to use Shi Jianzhang's influence to stabilize his position in the court, so he probably wouldn't make a fuss about marriage.Not to mention that she is far away in Qingcheng, even if she is in the capital, it will not be of any use.The one who can really compete with Yan Weijue is Yan Weiqing. Counting the days, if there is no accident, Yan Weiqing has already completed ten courses of treatment, so he should be able to stand up.
