"Okay, that's it for today..." Wen Yuan didn't want to admit that she couldn't accept these facts yet.
But she had to compromise, after all... just hearing the news was already a big headache for her.
Back at the inn, Wen Yuan sat on the bedside and thought about what they had told him.
She turned out to be the daughter of Yun Zhongmiao, the demon leader who was very famous in the history of the human race.
And his current wealth and status were actually obtained by Quan... and his biological father's careful arrangements.
It’s so unbelievable that no one can bear such news.
But now Wen Yuan understands why they always hide it from him. It turns out that hearing some things... can really affect a person.
After that day, Wen Yuan's attitude towards everyone became colder, except for Shen Huaiyan.
She didn't resent Shen Huaiyan coming to chat with her, on the contrary, she liked the feeling when Shen Huaiyan was by her side. That kind of calm and comfortable feeling was something that no one could give her.
"What's wrong? If you stay alone these days, you'll get bored." Shen Huaiyan gently placed his hand on Wen Yuan's head, "If you're unhappy with anything, just tell me."
Wen Yuan smiled bitterly and let him stroke her hair like this, "I just learned something and I can't accept it for the moment. It's okay."
"Oh~ It turns out that our Princess Xianyang also has something that can't be solved. Then shouldn't she tell us what's on her mind? It's not good to hold it in alone."
"Fortunately, you are by my side, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." Wen Yuan didn't realize it, but she actually leaned towards Shen Huaiyan.
She likes the warmth of his body. This is a habit she had before she forgot Shen Huaiyan.
Half a month later, the group arrived in Yandu, and Wen Yuan's mood improved a lot.
She thought about it a lot in the past half month and gradually accepted this fact.
She never doubted the truth of this matter. After all, someone with a weird temper like Ye You was willing to follow her. Doesn't this explain the problem?
"It's really hot here..." Wen Yuan was afraid of the heat. Sitting in the carriage felt like he was being steamed on firewood.
She kept wiping her forehead with a wet handkerchief, but it didn't take long for the handkerchief to turn into a hot handkerchief. "It's so hot here that there are still people living there."
Wen Yuan stretched out his neck and looked out. Wen Yuan was shocked when he saw people setting up stalls and doing business on the street.
"Just because it's hot here, doing business is more profitable. For example, if you buy a bowl of iced sugar water here, guess how many copper coins it costs?"
"A bowl of rock sugar water costs five copper coins in the capital. It's so hot here, so it should cost twenty copper coins, right?" Wen Yuan is a person who has never spent a small amount of money, but she can't afford to spend more on something that is already cheap. Guess.
Unexpectedly, Shen Huaiyan jumped out of the carriage mysteriously and bought a bowl of sugar water with very few ice cubes on the roadside.
After handing it to Wen Yuan, he said briskly: "Ten copper coins is wrong, guess again."
"I can't guess." Wen Yuan shook his head, "Just tell me directly."
"This bowl costs a fortune." Shen Huaiyan's words succeeded in making Wen Yuan choke who had just drank the sugar water.
She beat her chest and couldn't stop coughing, "Cough cough cough! Cough cough! So expensive?! You can buy a lot of things for this small amount of money!"
"But it's not easy to store ice here. Taking into account the loss of materials and hauling clean water from Cannes, the labor cost is very high, so is it reasonable to sell it so expensively?"
After Shen Huaiyan said this, Wen Yuan thought about it and thought it seemed right, "Isn't there even clean water here?"
"A lot of lakes have dried up."
In such a place, a royal bird actually lives. This is something no one would have imagined.
"After walking for so long, we still haven't seen an inn. Are we going to sleep on the street?" Wen Yuan kept looking around, trying to find an inn or farm where we could stay.
"Let's go further, I remember there is an inn." Shen Huaiyan had been here before, but he didn't expect to be back here after so many years.
The carriage drove for an hour before finding a shabby inn.
There is only the boss guarding the place, and Wen Yuan has never seen such a disheveled shopkeeper.
I saw the shopkeeper holding a cattail leaf fan in one hand, wearing a pair of yellowed trousers, shirtless and wearing straw sandals standing in the shop.
Wen Yuan frowned as soon as he saw the others, "Hey! Are you guys staying at the hotel?!" The shopkeeper's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the people. It's not easy to expect a guest in a place like Yandu, let alone such a place like this. Multiple people.
"Yes, is there a room?"
"Yes, yes! It's just..." The shopkeeper looked at Wen Yuan and said suspiciously: "It's just that our charges are not low. Do you really want to stay?"
"How much does it cost per night?"
The shopkeeper was also unambiguous. He spoke with big numbers as soon as he opened his mouth, "An ordinary room costs five taels of silver per night, and a better one costs ten taels of silver. This lady looks like she is from a wealthy family, so she must not be used to living in such a bad room, right?"
This was like a lion opening his mouth. Wen Yuan hesitated whether it was worth spending so much money to stay in a hotel.
"But objectively, you can rest assured that our service here is very good. Although the fee is expensive, we include three meals a day and provide ice-cold water for guests to wash and drink."
After hearing it this way, it doesn't really seem too expensive.
Wen Yuan took out a gold ingot of ten taels and placed it in front of the shopkeeper. "This is enough for us to live for as long as we want. The two of us share a room."
"Let me see, if there are two of you eight sharing a room, let's calculate it as an ordinary room. This ingot of gold is enough for you to live in for more than a month."
The shopkeeper smiled brightly and quickly asked Wen Yuan and the others to sit down, "Guests, please wait here for a moment while I go get someone to cook you a sumptuous meal."
It turns out that the shopkeeper is not the only one here, Wen Yuan thought to himself.
After a while, the shopkeeper came back with a man and a woman, "This is Mrs. Wang, and this is her husband. They used to run a foot shop, but then the climate in Yandu became hotter and hotter, and the business couldn't continue." So the store is closed." The shopkeeper introduced the origins of the two to several people.
Wen Yuan observed the couple. Their eyes were clear and their hands were clean. They should be people with an innocent background.
Along the way, Wen Yuan developed the habit of observing others. She didn't want to be assassinated again.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen, we are going to cook right now. Just wait patiently for a while." After saying this, Mrs. Wang followed her husband into the kitchen of the inn.
After a while, the aroma came from the kitchen, "Ah, it smells so good..."
Wen Yuan can be considered a person who has traveled far and wide and tasted a lot of delicious food, but today's meal smelled so appetizing to her that she couldn't help but run straight to the kitchen to take a look.
"Wang Po, you and your wife are so good at cooking. I can't help but drool when I smell it outside."
"Hahaha! My family used to work as royal chefs in the palace. Later, they retired and returned home to start their own business."
Wen Yuan couldn't tell whether her words were true or false, but these were not important, the deliciousness was the most important.
Half an hour later, a table of delicious, tasty and delicious food was placed on the table. Wen Yuan's appearance of devouring the food greatly increased people's appetite. "You kid, I really care about your mouth."
Quan has always cherished Wen Yuan. When he was waiting to eat, he bought a bowl of ice cheese from nowhere, "Eat it."
"What!" Wen Yuan's eyes shone, "Master, you are so powerful!"
She couldn't wait to take a bite, and the chilling feeling made Wen Yuan go from hot hell to cool wonderland, "It's delicious! It's been a long time since I've had such delicious ice cream."
"Hahaha, it's not that delicious. You think it's delicious because you're too hot." Quan touched Wen Yuan's head, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Master, did you only buy my share? Didn't they have Huayan Chunhua?"
Quan couldn't help it. He tugged at the corner of his mouth with some distress, "When I went there, there was only the last bowl left. The stall owner was very nice and sold me all the rest, but it was only enough for one person. so……"
It was the first time that Wen Yuan felt that Quan was so partial, but she liked his preference.
"Then let's all eat together? I only took one bite...this bowl is quite a lot." Wen Yuan pushed the ice cheese to the middle of the table.
Nana is also a big glutton. He couldn't help smelling the aroma of ice cheese. When Wen Yuan said that everyone should eat together, he immediately took a spoonful and put it into his mouth, "It's delicious, ah, it's saved..." "
As soon as he arrived in Homura, he felt like he was about to die from the heat, but this spoonful of ice cream saved him again.
At this time, Grandma Wang brought out another dish. A very ordinary dish became the most popular thing on the table.
"It's cucumber salad!"
Wen Yuan likes to eat cucumbers the most on weekdays, and today's cucumber was soaked in well water. Now it tastes ice cold and refreshing, "It's so ice..."
Being able to eat in Homura is such a great thing.
Wen Yuan narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the food on the table, "They are all delicious, even the rice is very chewy."
"It's good that you guys like it. We, the old couple, have not been busy in vain." Seeing that Wen Yuan loved the food cooked by herself and the old man so much, Mrs. Wang smiled happily.
"Then let's go now and come back to cook for you tomorrow."
Wen Yuan immediately stopped the two of them, "It's getting late. Let's sit down and eat together. You, the shopkeeper, can come and eat too."
"How good is this? There is no way to eat with guests. No, no." Wang Po waved her hands and refused, "And the food at home is already prepared. You can eat it just waiting to go back."
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was so stubborn, Wen Yuan didn't force her to stay. She was satisfied with the meal and even burped with satisfaction after finishing it.
"It's so fragrant. I've never had such delicious food." Wen Yuan thought to himself that maybe the husband of the royal wife was really the royal chef in the palace. If he opened a restaurant in the capital with this skill, the business would be booming.
"You, look at your little belly, it's so full."
