Zhao Chuan glanced at the table next door. The two businessmen were dressed in ordinary clothes. There were two cloth bags thrown under the table. There were holes in the bags, revealing some herbs.
This is a vendor who collects medicinal materials.
Now that something has happened at Qingfeng Temple in Lingyin Mountain, there is no incense. Of course, the pilgrims have stopped coming. Now all the guests in the town come to collect herbs. It seems that the herbs on Lingyin Mountain are indeed good.
But Zhao Chuan didn't want to go to that table, because these two guys had laughed at him just now and were scolded by him. Why did he have the nerve to go over and share the table with others to eat? He couldn't lose face.
Zhao Chuan looked around the lobby and found that there were no empty tables in the entire lobby. The table with the least number of people was the table of the herbal medicine vendor next door, and there were still a few customers standing by the counter waiting for empty tables to eat.
Zhao Chuan suddenly realized the problem and couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Although it is meal time, logically speaking, there should not be so many people eating in this big town at this time, because there are many inns in this town, more than a dozen of them. .
Zhao Chuan thought about this, thought for a while, turned around and looked at the diners who were eating in the lobby, and then looked at the guests standing at the counter waiting for a table, Zhao Chuan spotted Ni Duan.
Most people will glance at themselves from time to time, consciously or unconsciously.
Moreover, there were only two or three dishes on the table in front of them, but they ate slowly and leisurely, more elegantly than the county magistrate, as they were afraid of eating up all the dishes. The most ridiculous thing was that there was a guy at the other table who stretched out his chopsticks and came back with empty chopsticks. He was stretching his chopsticks here and there with empty chopsticks. This was acting!
Zhao Chuan immediately became nervous.
not good! These people might be here to deal with me, and they want to do something bad. Now that my spiritual energy cultivation has been ruined, and Qi Yatou is not around, I have to run away quickly.
Zhao Chuan wanted to get up and leave, but then he thought wrong. He hadn't done anything bad recently, and he didn't have any obvious enemies?
Zhao Chuan quickly filtered through the recent days in his mind and made sure that he had not done anything bad. He just had some unpleasant encounters with some people in Qingfengguan, but even so, it was not worth using such a method. Many people are coming to trouble you, right?
By the way, now that I think about it, Qi Yatou is the sinner. Qi Yatou killed a rat spirit, but the rat spirit brought it upon himself. Qi Yatou can only say that it was self-defense.
But it's not right. Even if Qi Yatou killed a rat spirit, the rat spirit's accomplice was just a charlatan. If the two of them wanted to take revenge, they wouldn't be able to find such a person.
Could it be that his identity as the young master of the Zhao family has been exposed? Then the enemies of the Zhao family want to mow down the roots and chase them here?
That's not right. If that were the case, those people would just do it directly. There would be no need to pretend to eat, they would just stay here and pretend to be grandchildren.
Zhao Chuan thought about it but couldn't figure out the origin of these people eating.
Zhao Chuan was hesitating whether to leave or not when the floor creaked and a graceful lady came down. She had a graceful gait and wore a dark veil. Although her face could not be seen clearly, her temperament gave people the feeling of being as fresh and refined as otherworldly fireworks.
The waiter said this is the tenant next to you upstairs.
This, this is the woman who didn't want to eat or drink for three days after being rescued? Zhao Chuan didn't believe his eyes.
Those pretending to eat in the lobby also reacted immediately. Some shouted for another dish, and some pretended to be shouting and making a lot of noise. The few people who were standing at the counter just now also came over and wanted to share a table with the two medicinal vendors at the next table. Have a meal.
"Boy, sit down and eat!" Someone whispered in Zhao Chuan's ear, patted him on the shoulder, and then sat down at the table of the medicinal materials vendor next door.
The fair lady went downstairs, walked straight over with her head slightly lowered, and sat opposite Zhao Chuan.
The waiter immediately served the dishes. Before Zhao Chuan could figure out what to do, the dishes were almost ready.
The woman didn't look at Zhao Chuan, but she didn't pick up chopsticks to eat, she just sat there with her head down.
Zhao Chuan realized that he hadn't ordered yet, so he immediately called for two dishes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, someone from the next table behind him nudged him with his elbow, "No, let's eat with you!"
At this point, Zhao Chuan finally understood that the target of this group of people was this young lady. It was a false alarm and I thought he was here to cause trouble for me. He said that this table of dishes would be charged to my account. You can't eat other people's soft rice.
Zhao Chuan understood the situation and felt relieved.
To put it bluntly, this group of people came to protect this young lady. They would not let me leave or order food, and asked me to just eat what they had.
It seems that this group of people paid for this meal, and they just asked me to eat with this young lady. This is allowing me to eat and drink for free.
What's the reason for this? Zhao Chuan was puzzled.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it that much. Who wouldn’t make a profit if it’s cheap? No matter what the reason is, I’m already hungry anyway. If you don’t eat, you’ll get nothing.
Zhao Chuan didn't care whether the lady opposite was eating or not, he just picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
There were eight dishes, including meat and vegetables. Although they were home-cooked dishes in a small inn, Zhao Chuan ate them deliciously. It was a pity that he did not ask for wine. It would be better if there was wine. But this is a meal that others paid for, and I can't ask for wine.
While Zhao Chuan was eating, a figure flashed at the door of the inn, and Qi Yatou came back.
When Qi Yatou saw this situation, her face immediately dropped.
She came over and grabbed Zhao Chuan's ears, "Okay, you heartless one. I just ran out to help you find medicine. It's great for you. Why don't you wait for me to eat? You still invite that beautiful girl." Miss guest, yo! I want eight more dishes..."
In front of so many people, Zhao Chuan felt embarrassed and a little angry. This little naughty girl is getting more and more outrageous. After all, I saved you before and was your savior. Why are you becoming more and more disrespectful to me?
Zhao Chuan suppressed his anger and persuaded in a low voice, "Stop making a fuss. This is someone's invitation. I'm just here to eat. Don't ask me why they're inviting me. I don't know. Someone invites me when I come in. You Eat or not, if you don’t want to eat, leave quickly..."
Zhao Chuan was afraid that Qi Yatou would make another fool of himself, so he quickly said everything at once.
Qi Yatou didn't make any more trouble this time. She was very proud of Zhao Chuan. She probably understood what Zhao Chuan said. She didn't say anything after hearing what Zhao Chuan said. She sat down and started eating.
Qi Yatou ate very quickly, finishing it in just half a cup of tea. After eating, he wiped his mouth and left, without even saying hello, and went upstairs.
Qi Yatou came and left quickly, leaving some diners dumbfounded. They were probably thinking: There is such a girl? Even boys have to speak fast and slow when eating. This way of eating is probably only done by the chickens, ducks and geese who compete for food.
As soon as Qi Yatou left, the elder sister opposite also got up and went upstairs. From the beginning to the end, she didn't eat anything or speak.
What happened today? What is going on? Zhao Chuan was a little confused.
Zhao Chuan had already started eating and was almost done eating. He also wanted to leave.
But as soon as he stood up, he was held down by the person at the next table. In an instant, there was a roar of getting up, and half the people in the hall gathered around him.
"Little boy! Just listen to me. If you eat the food, you will be in debt!" Someone came over with a smile.
I'm good, why do you say this? Zhao Chuan was not stupid, he immediately said, "What kind of favor do I owe you? Didn't you let me eat this meal? You said you wanted me to accompany the lady to eat, right?"
"Yes, but if you eat it, you eat it! If you eat it, you owe it!"
Your uncle, what kind of fallacy is this? Zhao Chuan looked at these people and realized that they were all in the same group.
But Zhao Chuan is not afraid, because Qi Yatou is on top. She has spiritual energy cultivation and magic skills. These warriors are not enough for her to take care of.
"Then what do you want?" Zhao Chuan was very tough.
"No matter what happens, as long as you eat with our lady during the day and live next door to her at night!"
"Ah, what's the point of this? I don't understand, and I don't recognize you." Zhao Chuan said.
"You don't need to understand. In short, just do as we say. Of course, meals and accommodation here are free!"
"Is there such a good thing? Oops..." Zhao Chuan smiled, feeling very interesting, "Okay, okay, but I want to know the reason. I never do stupid things without reason or purpose."
"Hey, you talk nonsense, okay? No, I'll kill you!" A reckless man squeezed over and slapped a thick ring-backed broad knife on the dining table in front of him.
"Are you kidding? That's your young lady, what does it have to do with me? I have my own business, and I don't want to accompany any of your young ladies." Zhao Chuan did not accept this trick, and pushed away the people who were blocking his way, trying to go upstairs.
"Pah! Pah!" Someone clapped their hands outside the door, and then laughed loudly, "Interesting, interesting, individual, individual, I like it."
Following the words, a handsome young man in brocade clothes stepped into the inn, "My little brother, since you want to know the reason, I can only tell you the truth, but don't be frightened by what I say. ,a ha ha ha……"
After the handsome man laughed wildly, he said to Zhao Chuan, "The lady upstairs is actually not a lady, but a princess!"
"Princess? What princess?" Zhao Chuan was in a daze for a moment and didn't understand. "You mean she is a wealthy or official lady?"
"No, no! She's a royal lady, this kind of princess! Look, you're still scared by what I said, aren't you?" The young man in Jinyi took out a small paper fan and shook it a few times. .
"Then, then, even if this is the case, does it have anything to do with me?" Zhao Chuan was confused again.
"Of course it does matter. Since you stayed at this inn, the princess' waist is no longer sore, her legs are no longer painful, she can feel more energetic going up and downstairs, and of course she doesn't cry anymore! But she hasn't spoken yet, so we If you think the princess is your lucky star, of course you have to eat with her and live next door with her until everything is normal with the princess..."
His grandma, who are these people? What they say is confusing. Are you sore, hurt, cry, eat or not? Why are you having trouble with me? I'm just passing by, and I don't know each other, so what do you think is my lucky star? I think I'm unlucky enough.
Zhao Chuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something but shook his head and simply shut up.
"Okay, you can handle this matter as you wish." Zhao Chuan turned around and went upstairs. This matter really made him speechless.
Didn’t you hear that this woman was rescued a few days ago and turned out to be a royal princess? Zhao Chuan was curious.
But if the royal princess doesn't stay well in the imperial city, why would she go to this remote country?
Could it be that he went out to play privately and was rescued when he was in danger?
Forget it, I don’t think about it that much anymore, I still have to think about whether I want to have a private meeting with Shopkeeper Wang’s wife tonight?
Zhao Chuan entered the guest room and saw Qi Yatou staring at him and smiling maliciously.
