Proof of Longevity

Seeing the horse widow who was leaving Furong with Qingshui, Zhang Shiyang stayed for a while, and then quickly recovered and called the horse widow to sit down. Zhang Shiyang said: "This journey has been in the dust, but the lady has worked hard. Now when we get to the town, we will buy a carriage, and we will drive the carriage to Beijing tomorrow. Although the road is hard with the carriage, it is still better." Widow Ma nodded when she heard the words: "Everything depends on Mr.". "Come on, eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while" Zhang Shiyang greeted him and picked up the bowl and started eating. In this era, whether it is a nobleman or a trafficker, they are not talking about food and sleeping. After the meal, Widow Ma did not leave: "Sir, you told me earlier that we would go to Beijing ahead of schedule. I don't know what source of income we have when we arrive in Beijing." When Zhang Shiyang heard the words, he smiled: "Worry, Madam Nowork, I have already thought about it." When Mrs. Ma heard this, she stopped saying more, and got up to leave.

Zhang Shiyang watched the store tidy up all the leftover cups, closed the door and sat in a chair, holding a cup of tea, closed his eyes and rested, thinking about future plans, constantly considering, and speculating on the loopholes in his plan. make up. After thinking about it for a long time, I got up and walked around the house and opened the door: ‘Man, man’. Just after yelling twice, the guy came up with a big smile: ‘Guest, what do you command?’ Zhang Shiyang glanced at the man and took out forty taels of silver: "Man, prepare a carriage for us, and we are collecting some dry food, and the rest will be given to you as a reward."

The guy took the money, and the corners of his mouth widened: "Guest officer, don't worry, it will be done for you tomorrow morning." "Yeah" Zhang Shiyang waved his hand to signal the man to leave and walk back to the house, but he walked out soon: "Man, don't forget to fill in a few quilts." A cheerful response came from below: "Guest, you can rest assured, keep everything done for you properly". After closing the door, Zhang Shiyang looked at the next door. The lights in Widow Horse's room were already off, and she blew out the lights in one breath, and then looked at the moonlight shining on the window, and she was full of thoughts.

Zhang Shiyang got up from the bed and washed for a while. Seeing that his blue shirt was already a little damaged, he couldn't help but shook his head secretly, and had to buy a few more sets of clothes for spare. Opening the door, looking at the sun, the next door creaked, the door opened, and the horse widow walked out. Seeing the appearance of Widow Horse, I must have gotten up a long time ago. Widow Horse looked at Zhang Shiyang: "Sir, he is up." Zhang Shiyang's old face blushed when he heard the words. He was used to getting up late, but he was quite embarrassed to be pointed out so. Zhang Shiyang coughed dryly, "Did the madam have breakfast?" Widow Ma nodded when he heard the words: "Morning. Just eat it".

Zhang Shiyang took the package and walked directly to the lobby with Widow Horse. He ordered a few steamed buns and two bowls of soy milk downstairs in the inn. While eating, he said vaguely: "Man, man". Dian Xiaoer came to Zhang Shiyang: "Guest officer, come here." Zhang Shiyang swallowed the buns: "How did you prepare the things you prepared last night". "Guest, don't worry, it's already prepared for you." After destroying a bun, Zhang Shiyang said: "Now you bring the carriage to the door and I am ready to leave." Hearing this, Xiao Er ran outside. After drinking the last sip of soy milk, Zhang Shiyang picked up the package and took the horse widow's hand and walked out. Xiao Er had already brought the carriage here. Looking at the tall horse, he nodded in satisfaction, took the rein, and opened the curtain. There was a thick layer of mattress inside, but it could reduce the pain of a lot of bumps. Helping the widow horse into the cart, Zhang Shiyang jumped into the cart and galloped away.

Driving Zhang Shiyang out of the county seat in the carriage, the roadside scenery was pleasant. The widow of the horse sitting in the carriage also opened the curtains on both sides of the car to watch the scenery to relieve the boredom. Gradually, it is getting farther and farther away from the county seat, and the pedestrians on the road gradually become scarce, but there are often small villages, and groups of children often laugh at the entrance of the village. The horse widow's interest is not high, I don't know if she thinks of Ma Hao.

Half a month has passed, and now the number of pedestrians has gradually increased. Zhang Shiyang guessed that he was going to Beijing soon. In fact, Zhang Shiyang's small village is not far from Shangjing. It is a state capital directly under the jurisdiction of Shangjing. If Zhang Shiyang is not traveling all the way, she is afraid that the horse widow can't bear the fatigue of boats and cars, and she can reach Shangjing in three days. With the passage of time, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased. Not long after, I saw a tall city wall emerging from a distance, and the whole city wall was full of the breath of time. Zhang Shiyang drove the horse-drawn carriage towards the gate of the city. When he reached the gate, he saw many people waiting in line to enter the capital. The officer at the gate checked the directions and carried out the security check. It's not that the officers will embarrass the pedestrians as people say, and everyone is still in peace.

When it was Zhang Shiyang's turn, the guide handed it over, then opened the car door and took a look, then let it go. Leading the carriage, walked through the city gate. Suddenly, there was a hustle and bustle. Looking at the city gate, it seemed as if there were two worlds outside. There were stalls on the roadside, businessmen one by one, and many restaurants. Zhang Shiyang was walking hard in the crowd with the carriage, and was looking for a place to stay, but he accidentally saw a notice of the sale of a restaurant. Zhang Shiyang secretly sighed that he was lucky, and when he fell asleep, he came to pillow, took the carriage to the door of the restaurant, knocked on the door, and a sick voice came from inside: "Who, this shop is no longer open, and is about to resell it. Let's go quickly".

Zhang Shiyang opened the mouth and said, "The shopkeeper, I think your restaurant is good. I want it. I bought it." Then he heard a rush of footsteps, and the wooden door opened with a creak. A middle-aged man walked out and looked up and down Zhang Shiyang: "Please come in." Then let Zhang Shiyang into the house. Widow Horse also got out of the car and followed Zhang Shiyang.

Walking into the restaurant, Zhang Shiyang looked at the man: "Let's take a look at the store first." The man nodded: "It should be." Zhang Shiyang turned around and found that this restaurant is not bad, and the floor space is not small. He walked back to the lobby and sat down. After sitting down, Zhang Shiyang looked at the boss: "This restaurant has good specifications and a good location. It may be at a loss, but profit is still possible. I don't know why the store sold it?".

The man sighed after hearing the words: "I'm telling you, my restaurant doesn't make a lot of money every year, but it's enough to feed the family, but there was a fight in this restaurant last time." Speaking of this, the middle-aged man sighed: "A lot of people have died. I don’t want to do hotel business anymore. Maybe I lost my surname one day, and because of a weapon fight, more than ten people died in this restaurant. The impact is not very good, everyone is afraid of bad luck, no one dares to buy, businessmen, everyone wants a stable, auspicious, if you fight hard, who wants to."

After listening to the man's narration, Zhang Shiyang: "I haven't consulted the treasurer's surname." "Liu Xia" Zhang Shiyang said, "Treasurer Liu, I have seen this shop, please let the shopkeeper give a price." The shopkeeper Liu smiled upon hearing the words: "How about one hundred thousand taels, not much." After hearing this, Zhang Shiyang thought for a while. The size of this restaurant plus the location it occupies is probably more than one hundred thousand taels. The shopkeeper is indeed giving himself a bargain, and money is like a pile of scrap iron to him. I also saved some money in the world of Origin, and I didn't counter-offer: "That's it, then sign the paperwork."

The shopkeeper nodded when he heard the words, and began to draft the paperwork. Zhang Shiyang took out one hundred thousand taels of silver bills, and the two of them pledged, and the transaction was over. Zhang Shiyang looked at Widow Ma: "This will be our new home from now on, just wait for Ma Hao to study in Beijing in two years." Widow Ma nodded when he heard the words, but he was interested in Zhang Shiyang's banknotes. Zhang Shiyang was a teacher. Where did so many banknotes come from? However, everyone has privacy, but they didn't ask much. They led the carriage to the backyard, and the two began to choose a place for them to rest in the future. Every hotel has a backyard, and this restaurant is of course no exception. Zhang Shiyang chose a quaint yard, and Widow Horse chose a yard next to Zhang Shiyang. It is safe to have someone familiar with her when she first arrived. After choosing the room, the two of them cleaned a little bit, and they are about to prepare dinner. Of course, there is no shortage of ingredients in the restaurant, so you don't need to go out to buy, and you can cook directly.
