After finishing the meal, Yu Miaomiao did not dare to delay and was ready to leave the city. She asked all the way and then reached the city gate.
By the time the city gate closed, it was already bright. At noon, there were even more people, like boiling pots of water.
"What's going on? You look like a real person. Why don't you pay for food?!"
I don't know where a harsh voice came from, but it didn't seem very out of place in this noisy street.
A down-and-out kid wearing a blue gown was kicked out of the tavern, followed closely by a ferocious-looking boss. The boss rolled up his sleeves and cursed loudly.
Yu Miaomiao wanted to save the hero, but with her thin arms and legs, the boss could probably knock her away with one punch.
So Yu Miaomiao, who was self-aware, moved aside to make room for their quarrel.
The scholar in green shirt looked very thin, and his face looked a bit sickly and pale. Although the boss's voice was loud, the scholar just frowned and patiently explained:
"Boss, don't worry... You were the one who said you could get credit on credit first, why don't you agree now? That's all... I'm about to take the exam now, I'll pay it back after the exam is over How nice of you."
Because of the national mourning, the imperial examination was postponed.
The scholar did not bring enough expenses, so he had no choice but to stay in the capital for a few more days, waiting for the government to notify the exam time again.
"No, give me the money now, or I'll beat you to death." The rich voice became louder and louder.
Two boys came behind the boss and came out aggressively with long benches.
There was a noise in the street, and Yu Miaomiao seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
All eyes were instantly attracted, and everyone gave up their position in the middle of the road.
The man is riding a horse, with a moon-white cloak flying high, and the white armor draped on his body making him look majestic, making it easy for people to ignore his handsome face.
Someone in the crowd recognized him and shouted: "The general is here, this is General Fuyuan!"
The crowd instantly became restless, and they did not expect to meet General Fuyuan on the street:
"General Fuyuan! General Fuyuan!"
"General is the God of War! You are our hope for safety!"
"Thank you General!"
The street was already very crowded, but now there are even more people crowded on both sides.
There were many young ladies on the street who came to watch the general, and Yu Miaomiao didn't know where she was being squeezed.
Someone in the crowd muttered:
"The general has just returned from pacifying the south, and now he has won another battle. It's amazing."
"General Victorious, he's so handsome, and he's not married yet..."
"People who propose marriage have already crossed the threshold of this young general. I just don't know what he likes, so I have never accepted it."
"You don't understand. You have to build more achievements when you are young. You can put it aside after you get married."
"..."
She didn't know if it was Yu Miaomiao's illusion, but she always felt that General Fuyuan glanced at her and smiled.
Thinking of this, Yu Miaomiao couldn't stand it anymore. When did she become so narcissistic? She muttered in her heart how could the general know such a little guy like her.
General Fuyuan waved his whip and was soon galloping through the streets.
...
The boys in the tavern threw the green-shirted scholar to the ground and saw that he had been beaten twice before the crowd of onlookers came back again.
Originally, she wanted to try taking a detour, but she didn't know who pushed her in the panic, and she was actually pushed in front of the boss.
The boss heard the sound of the silver ingots clinking in her package. Others might not be able to distinguish the sound, but he would definitely recognize it as long as he heard it for how many years he had been running the tavern and how much money he had collected.
Hearing the sound of money, the boss was instantly attracted, and his eyes kept glancing at the package.
The boss stopped Yu Miaomiao and looked like he wouldn't let her leave without giving her money:
"Are you two together? Hurry up and give me the money."
"No, I don't know him." Yu Miaomiao waved her hand.
The scholar in green shirt seemed to suddenly have strength, and stood in front of Yu Miaomiao: "I owe you the money, and I will definitely pay it back to you. It has nothing to do with this girl."
The tavern owner clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, let's play with me here and fall in love with you. I'll treat you two as the bad guy, right? Hit me!"
Seeing those people about to take action.
Yu Miaomiao raised her hand and shouted: "Wait a minute!"
It has to be said that the original owner is also a lady, so with such a voice, it actually shocked everyone.
Yu Miaomiao pointed in the direction where the general disappeared just now, and said calmly:
"Do you know who the man who rode past just now was?"
Everyone looked in the direction of Yu Miaomiao's finger.
You whispered to me, "Is it possible that this person is a long-lost relative of General Fuyuan?"
"This demeanor doesn't look like that of an ordinary person. Just now I saw the general looking at her, as if she looked familiar."
"Maybe it's true, the boss is in trouble this time, hahaha."
The tavern owner muttered inwardly and cautiously asked: "General Fuyuan?"
But when he turned around, he found that there was no trace of the two people there.
The tavern owner was furious, pointed at the two of them and said with a ferocious expression: "Chase them!"
Several guys immediately chased the direction in which they escaped.
Yu Miaomiao was not stupid enough to run away with the scholar in green shirt. Those people were chasing after the scholar.
After she pulled the scholar out, she let him go due to her small size, and instead squeezed into the crowd and hid in the crowd.
The scholar, on the other hand, ran towards the other end of the alley, and the group of people chased after him.
Yu Miaomiao did not dare to take it lightly and ran a street in the opposite direction until she could no longer see the group of people.
"Hot noodles, noodles you never tire of eating~" came the shout.
Yu Miaomiao touched her belly and felt that she was really hungry, so she sat at the noodle stall.
"Girl, would you like a bowl of noodles?" the boss greeted enthusiastically.
Yu Miaomiao just wanted a bowl, but when she lowered her head and touched her bundle, she found that the bundle of bundles on her body was gone...
She pursed her lips: "...No."
Could it be that the scholar stole it?
Yu Miaomiao frowned. The only person she could think of touching her bag was the scholar.
She originally wanted to help the idiot run away, but unexpectedly the scholar stole her money.
There are still many bad people in the world.
Just as she frowned, a bowl of steaming noodles was brought to her.
The boss wiped his sweat with a towel and said with an honest smile:
"I'll treat you to food for free."
Yu Miaomiao touched the edge of the bowl in ecstasy, and the hot temperature came from her palm.
Before she could speak, the boss had already gone to work as if he was afraid of embarrassing her.
She looked down at her clothes. She had already gotten some dirt on her body from getting out of a dog hole. Coupled with the commotion just now, she probably looked more like a beggar.
For a moment, Yu Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
However, her current situation is indeed similar to that of a beggar. It is already good that the boss can give her free noodles.
There are still many good people in the world.
The boss continued to yell:
“The hot noodles are the noodles you’ll never get tired of eating. Don’t miss it when you’re passing by!”
The noodles tasted bland, but they were the best noodles she had ever tasted.
When she was halfway through eating, a dark figure appeared in front of her eyes. When she looked up, she saw that it was someone she didn't expect.
It was actually that scholar.
The scholar's nose and face were bruised and swollen after being beaten, and he looked miserable. Coupled with his hanging eyebrows, he looked rather impressive.
What he was holding indeed held her package.
Before she could speak, the scholar handed it to her and said, "Girl, this is your baggage."
Yu Miaomiao took the package, but she didn't expect that there were so many things inside.
The scholar bowed and said, "Girl, please check the contents inside. I hid the package when I ran. I took it back after they finished beating it."
His thin body had obviously been seriously injured, but he still stood upright without losing any of his dignity.
Yu Miaomiao took out a piece of silver and handed it to the scholar: "Here, your injury looks very serious. If you leave a root cause of the injury, it will be worth the loss."
The scholar refused with words: "No reward for no merit."
"Don't you still have to take the exam? Let me lend it to you." Yu Miaomiao said.
The scholar still didn't accept it: "No, thank you girl for your kindness. I'll accept it."
Yu Miaomiao said, "Well, are you from the outer city? Let me get some news from you."
"Excuse me, girl."
"How can I get to the closest place to the capital? I want to go shopping in the outer city." Yu Miaomiao suddenly became interested.
"The closest one to here should be Gaochang City. From this gate, it only takes a day and a half to get to the capital." The scholar said, pointing to the city tower not far away.
