[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

However, before she could take two bites, Zhang silently put down her bowl and chopsticks.

She had been Master Zhang's favorite granddaughter since she was young, and had never eaten such coarse food since she was a child.

Even when Yun Hong got into trouble and she was abandoned by the Rong family and had to live with Yun Ye alone, she had never eaten such disgusting food.

She had a generous dowry and helpful maids. Even if the Rong family and the Marquis' Mansion didn't care about her, she could still live a good life with her dowry.

Yunluo was fine. She had been through a lot since she was little.

But Yunying and Yunai had never experienced such hardship before. As soon as she took a bite, Yunying started to cry.

As soon as she started crying, Yun Ai started crying too.

"Grandma, when are we going back? I want to eat the food cooked by Sister Shou." Yunying looked at Rong Enqing with tears in her eyes.

Yun Ai also nodded while crying: "Grandma, me too."

Rong Enqing felt a sore nose and suddenly couldn't eat anymore. "Don't cry. Grandma will find a way to rescue Shou and the others."

The meal was tasteless.

After dinner, the waiter also bought the clothes.

Six sets of clothes, all made of coarse cloth.

The reason is simple: it’s cheap.

The cheaper the clothes are, the more the waiter can save on running errands!

Looking at the clothes in front of everyone, everyone fell silent again.

Zhang touched it and began to sigh heavily, "Mother, this kind of clothes is fine for adults to wear, but how can children wear it? I'm afraid the children will get their skin rubbed off in a short time."

Zhang looked at the delicate and tender Yunying and Yunai, and suddenly felt helpless.

These two children are really too young and their skin is really too tender.

"Forget it, I'll ask the waiter to buy a few more sets."

Then he took out five taels of silver jewelry and handed it to the waiter, "Please help me run to the clothing store and buy a few sets of fine cotton clothes."

The waiter took the silver, weighed it, and frowned slightly. After buying six sets of fine cotton clothes with this little money, there would not be much left.

Rong Enqing thought about it, and handed the clothes to the waiter, "Please help me return them. The money you return will be your errand fee."

The waiter then nodded slowly, "Okay."

Rong Enqing breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard the waiter who was coming downstairs mutter, "Tsk tsk, can't you wear coarse cloth? Don't you see your situation? You've fallen to the point of staying in an inn, and you still think you're a nobleman?"

The waiter did not lower his voice, and it was obvious that he was speaking intentionally for them to hear.

Rong Enqing took out only jewelry, and it was obvious that he didn't have much money.

That's it, and you still have to dress well. How will you live after all the jewelry you have is spent?

Therefore, it is not entirely true that the waiter's words were purely sarcastic. There was also a hint of reminder in them.

The waiter was greedy, but his greed did not stop him from giving a kind reminder. As for whether Rong Enqing and the others would listen to him, it was none of his business.

Although the clothes I bought this time are still not as good as the ones they wear, they can at least be worn.

After asking for some water and washing up briefly, everyone went back to their rooms and prepared to go to bed.

After a tiring whole day, Rong Enqing fell asleep almost as soon as he fell onto the bed.

Yunying and Yunai cried in the bed while hugging each other, but they were afraid of waking up Rong Enqing, so they both sobbed.

Yun Luo felt sorry for Rong Enqing while patting her two younger sisters gently and comforting them in a low voice from time to time.

Just like that, in the middle of the night, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed into the inn.

The waiter on night duty was shocked and quickly called the shopkeeper over.

"Sir, what brings you to our shop so late at night?

The leading sergeant glanced around and raised his hand to the soldiers behind him, "Search!"

The shopkeeper's face changed drastically, and he quickly stuffed five taels of silver into the leading soldier's hand, and asked flatteringly: "Sergeant! What's the matter, sir? Let's sit down and have some tea and talk slowly. Searching the store in the middle of the night disturbed the rest of the customers in the store, and it also made the soldiers tired, didn't it?"

As he said that, he turned around and told the waiter: "Hurry up and serve you a few pots of good tea, and ask the kitchen to prepare the restaurant's specialty dishes."

"You are all busy at night, and the food here is good. Let's eat and talk."

I don't know if it was because the shopkeeper's attitude was too nice, or if the leading soldier had other intentions, but he actually invited the seven or eight people who came with him to sit down.

There just happened to be two tables occupied.

Soon, hot tea came first.

The shopkeeper bent down and respectfully poured tea for everyone, then asked cautiously, "Sir, are you looking for someone? Why are you still not resting in the middle of the night?"

The leading soldier did not hide anything and said with a smile: "A few wanted criminals have escaped. If we can't catch them, no one will be able to have a good ending. I advise you to quickly call all the guests in your inn. We need to identify them one by one."

"Hey, the guests are all asleep..."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" The sergeant next to the leading sergeant impatiently slammed the sword on the table and shouted, "Why don't you go and call someone?"

The shopkeeper didn't dare say anything more and quickly asked the waiter to call someone.

Rong Enqing was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened. He was startled and sat up suddenly.

As soon as he called out "Xiu Zhang", he realized that he was now in an inn. He immediately patted Yun Luo and the others who were sleeping beside him and started to put on his clothes quickly.

Unfortunately, what Rong Enqing thought was agile was actually not much faster than a tortoise. At most, he was just able to wear clothes.

By the time she finished putting on her clothes, Yunluo had already done so and was now helping Yunai put on her clothes.

Yun Ai was too young, and had someone serving her before, so she had no idea how to dress.

Yunying doesn't know how to do it either, and is currently making a mess of it.

Rong Enqing hurriedly helped Yunying put on her clothes.

After the four generations of grandparents and grandchildren put on their clothes and hid important items such as jade on their bodies, they went out to meet Yun Ye and his mother and gathered on the first floor.

By the time the group reached the first floor, the other guests had already come down.

There weren't many people staying in the inn. Apart from Rong Enqing and his group of six, there were only five other guests.

One of the young couples was from near the capital. They came to the capital to do some shopping and as it was getting late they decided to stay overnight before going back.

The remaining three were small vendors from other places. They were all in the same group.

As soon as Rong Enqing and his group came down, the sergeant next to the leading sergeant glared at them fiercely and shouted, "How dare you make us wait for so long! Tell me, what are you doing in the room? Is there a rebel hiding in the room?"

As he spoke, he exchanged glances with the leading sergeant. Seeing the leading sergeant nod, he immediately shouted, "Brothers, search their room!"

As soon as he finished speaking, four soldiers rushed upstairs with burning eyes.
