Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 357 Puff Tong

Wucheng is a military town. Not only is the layout different from those ordinary towns in the pass, but it even has few civilian facilities.

However, this is the place where caravans must pass, so a small area in Beicheng was divided for merchants to build inns and restaurants.

For those caravans to rest and stop.

It's just that although the caravans heading this way come from different places, they are all rough and bold.

Most of these inns and restaurants are Datong rooms.

Even if Xie Jue wanted to find something good, he couldn't find it.

I can only bring Su Yue to experience the people's sentiments, the bold and unrestrained folk customs of the Northland.

It is a special restaurant with more than 200 square meters, surrounded by heated kang, where everyone takes off their shoes and sits on the kang to eat.

Fortunately, this time when I came out, for convenience and to keep out the cold, Xie Jue asked Su Yue to put on men's clothes (cotton trousers were allowed), smeared her face a bit darker, and tightened her hood.

No one could tell that she was a girl.

When he came out this time, Xie Jue asked the steward to form a caravan, and when he walked into the restaurant with the people in the caravan, the people inside just glanced at it casually, and went to eat their own food and chat about their own affairs.

Xiao Er led a group of them to a kang that could seat more than a dozen people, and then turned around to serve food.

Their shop doesn't have many tricks, just a few dishes, and the caravans that come and go order them all in the same way.

So don't even ask.

Tang Bing and the two guards let Xie Jue and Su Yue sit in the innermost corner, and sat outside by himself, just enough to block them.

The rest of the caravan sat on the other side.

After a while, Xiao Er brought up the dishes.

There are three large charcoal stoves, with a large copper basin on top of which there are stewed mutton with radishes in soup, bowls of noodles and huge steamed buns.

And three plates of braised pork.

Su Yue looked at these few simple but absolutely satisfying dishes, and smacked her mouth.

Tang Bing secretly took out two bowls from the leather pouch hanging on his waist and placed them in front of Xie Jue and Su Yue, and then took out two pairs of very ordinary chopsticks.

Su Yue took a look at those people who were eating soup from the pot with spoons, and decisively took the chopsticks and picked up the bowl.

First he made a bowl for Xie Jue, and then another bowl for himself.

In this kind of place, everyone eats like this, at least Tang Bing and the two guards sitting outside are not exempt, or they will attract attention.

Xie Jue put the two bowls in front of her (blocked by the copper basin), and said with a light smile, "It's all yours."

While speaking, he picked up a steamed bun, took a few slices of meat, took a bite, took a spoon into the pot, made a spoonful of soup, and drank it down.

Su Yue looked at him sideways, seeing how he didn't care at all, seeing how he ate meat and soup but still showed elegance, and because of his boldness, his appearance was even more attractive.

I just feel my heart beating.

"Quick, eat while it's hot." Xie Jue pointed at Su Yue, resisting the urge to help her feed the soup with meat.

In this kind of place, once traces are exposed, it will be troublesome.

Su Yue smiled, followed his example and took a bite of the steamed bun, and then took a sip of the soup.

Then he squinted his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

Really, a perfect match!

"It seems that there are fewer people this year." A middle-aged man on the opposite kang looked around at Xie Jue's side, and said to the people on the other side of the kang.

The person on the kang over there smiled and said: "You came late. A few days ago, we had already left a few batches. We just stopped for a few days because we happened to see a lively scene."

"Busy? What's the buzz?"

"The prince of Zhen Guogong came and tied up the man from the Shui family in Jinzhou City. He said that he was colluding with the Rong people to rob the frontier army's rations. The evidence was convincing, so he beheaded him directly."

"Jinzhou Chengshui family? Isn't that the one who used to say that he is the in-law of Duke Zhen?"

"It's not that family! I heard that his daughter is really married to the Duke of Zhen, but she is not a serious first wife, and the Duke of Zhen has never regarded them as relatives at all. They didn’t even move around, and they came here this time just to investigate the case of the robbery of military rations.”

"The rations were robbed? What's going on? Hey, let's hear it." A young man sitting next to the middle-aged man said excitedly.

"You don't know? Ah, forget it, it's getting late, let's leave after eating, hurry up!" The people on the kang over there threw a pile of copper coins on the table, and a dozen or so people cheered Get up and go outside.

"Hey!"

The young man yelled, and was pulled by the middle-aged man sitting next to him, and sat back awkwardly. After those people left, he said to the middle-aged man, "I'll just ask."

"If you have any questions, let's do our own thing. I heard that the gold over there is very cheap this year. This time, let's bring more back home." The middle-aged man said flatly.

"I just think, look, we are all from the Song Dynasty, so we can support each other at least."

"There is a competitive relationship between merchants. Besides, we are from the capital. This year, the court has done a lot of bad things, and the military rations have been embezzled. Hey, it's better to say less and make less mistakes. After collecting the things, let's go."

"By the way, the person at the post station said that there are people from Honglu Temple coming, but they don't know why they are here? We haven't seen it all this way, if it's serious..."

"Shut up!" The middle-aged man snorted softly, stopped the young man's words, and then quickly glanced around.

I deliberately stopped by Xie Jue's side.

Seeing those straight men just eating meat and drinking soup while talking and laughing in a low voice without even looking over from the corners of their eyes, he let out a sigh of relief.

Then he glared at the young man angrily.

You can say anything like that!
If it wasn't for the heavy snow on the road, this guy would not have taken the caravan to stay in the official post.

This guy completely forgot his identity!

People from the Marquis of Weiyuan do business with the Rong people in private.

If the people in the capital knew about this matter, among other things, the impeachment papers would be like snowflakes.

Of course, this is not the most troublesome.

The most troublesome thing is that Mrs. Hou, who puts her face more seriously than anything else, would not have cried, made trouble and hanged herself if she knew that her second son followed him out to run a business.

"After eating, let's go, just follow their caravan, and you won't go the wrong way." Throwing the money, the middle-aged man got up and yelled.

When the group of people also huffed and left, the hall suddenly became empty.

Xie Jue put down the spoon, and raised the corner of his lower lip slightly towards the back of the door.

The envoy from Honglu Temple was picked up from Wucheng a few days ago.

General Wen in Wucheng seemed to be unaware of it.

This Wucheng, either has people from Yeluqi, or people from Tong Guan or Cai Bing!
If the military rations don't come this year, the border is already in crisis, but those two bastards...

"Finally left." Su Yue looked up, saw that they were the only people in the hall, and took off the hood on her head.

At the same time, he wiped the sweat on his face with a handkerchief.

It's too warm on this kang!

Just at this time, Lao Liu walked in from the outside, shouting for Xiaoer to get a pot and send it to the tower, while habitually scanning the room with his eyes.

Then, he saw Su Yue.
