On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle
Chapter 159 Arrival at the City
After walking for another three days, the group finally arrived in Muzhou Prefecture and entered the main official road. There were more pedestrians and vehicles on the road.
Because of the dry weather, the ground was dusty and the passing of carriages and horses raised clouds of dust.
Song An deliberately pulled the reins of the donkey cart, slowed down the speed, increased the distance from the vehicle in front, and slowly drove towards the city gate.
There are two gates in the direction of entering the city, one for pedestrians to enter and exit, and the other for checking vehicles coming in and out.
When Song An and his group came forward, the soldiers guarding the gate checked their passes and carefully inspected the donkey carts. Seeing that there were no problems, they quickly let them into the city.
After successfully entering the city, Song An couldn't help but sigh: "It's worthy of being a city. The soldiers checked so strictly just now. I thought they would embarrass us and ask for the entrance fee."
Chen Yunyou explained, "This is the prefectural city. The shops in the city are thriving. The prefect has money under his jurisdiction, so he doesn't have to rely on the entrance fee to cover expenses."
"And I found that the closer we get to the capital, the less severe the drought is than in our county."
After hearing this, Song An nodded repeatedly. The city had an advantageous location, with many lakes around it and it was also upstream of the river.
Because of this unique condition, even though it has not rained for many days, the crops in the nearby fields at least have water for irrigation.
The donkey cart moved slowly along the wide street. The street was crowded with people, some walking hurriedly, some strolling leisurely. They were talking and laughing, with no sadness on their faces.
The cries of vendors can be heard from both sides of the street, and the air is filled with the aroma of various foods, making people salivate.
Song Xile was sitting on the donkey cart, attracted by the aromas, and his stomach couldn't help but growl.
They have been busy traveling these days, and the food they have been eating on the road for several days is the bread made a day in advance.
At this moment, smelling the fragrance in the air, my stomach couldn't help but start to sing the empty city plan.
She touched her belly with a hot face, and said to Song An who was driving the car in front: "Second brother, stop at the meat pie stand in front. We have come a long way, let's buy some food to fill our stomach."
Song An smiled and nodded, then drove the donkey cart slowly towards the fragrant meat pie stall.
In front of the stall, a middle-aged stall owner was busy flipping the meat patties in the oil pan. The golden crust was sprinkled with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, exuding an enticing aroma.
Song Xile couldn't wait to get off the car and walked to the stall. "Stall owner, how much are you selling these oil cakes?"
The stall owner, who was busy working, saw a customer coming and greeted him warmly, "Two with vegetarian fillings are five cents, and one with meat fillings is four cents."
"Give me five of each."
The stall owner immediately agreed with a smile, quickly put a few hot meat patties into the oil paper, and handed them to Song Xile.
Song Xile took the meat pie, paid for it, and then said, "Stall owner, I want to ask you a question. How do I get to Liu'er Hutong?"
Before leaving, Qian Feng sent a letter back, telling Chen Yunyou that he had rented a yard in Liuer Hutong, and asked him to go directly there when he arrived in the city.
The stall owner pointed ahead enthusiastically, "Go straight along this street, and after two intersections, turn right and you will see the entrance to Liu'er Hutong."
Song Xile thanked the stall owner gratefully, then took the meat patties and distributed them to the Qiao brothers who were following behind them, and then climbed onto the donkey cart.
"Brother, eat meat pie!"
Song An refused without even turning his head, "I'm still catching the bus, let's talk about it when we get there!"
Song Xile was not polite anymore. He handed a meat pie to Yun You and started eating it impatiently.
The meat patty was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the aroma of meat filling the air. Song Xile took a bite and squinted her eyes in happiness.
Seeing that his wife was enjoying the meal, Chen Yunyou also started eating in a good mood.
The donkey cart drove for about another quarter of an hour and arrived at Liushu Hutong.
The donkey cart slowly stopped, and Song Xile and Chen Yunyou and his wife got off one after another, walking on the bluestone road towards the courtyard with a willow tree in front of the door.
Qian Feng was worried that his friend couldn't find a place to live, so he wrote the sign of the rented house in the letter.
Chen Yun stepped forward and knocked gently on the wooden door. The knocking sound was accompanied by a "knock knock" sound.
There were hurried footsteps in the courtyard. Not long after, there was a creaking sound, and a servant in green opened the door. When he saw that the person coming was Chen Yunyou, he immediately showed a surprised smile on his face.
"Mr. Chen, you are finally here. If you don't come, our young master will send people to look for you along the way!"
Then he turned around and shouted into the courtyard, "Master, Master Chen is here!" After that, he warmly invited the group in.
Qian Feng was reading a book in the house at this time. When he heard Chang'an's call, he immediately put down the book and walked out quickly.
Seeing Chen Yunyou, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He quickly stepped forward and patted Chen Yunyou's arm heavily, "You are too slow. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Do you live here?" Chen Yunyou asked with a raised eyebrow.
Qian Feng, "There are many people at home, so it's quiet here." Then he looked at the people behind Chen Yun and asked in confusion, "Who are they?"
I was so busy talking just now that I forgot to introduce them, so Chen Yunyou introduced them one by one.
Qian Feng didn't expect that his classmate actually brought his wife with him. He hurriedly greeted Song Xile, and then led the group to the Second Hospital.
Fortunately, the yard he rented was big enough. It was a small yard with two entrances. The first entrance had three main rooms, and the main room in the middle was used to entertain guests. Qian Feng lived on the sunny side of the east side, and the other side was temporarily vacant.
There are two side rooms built along the wall of the first courtyard. On the east side, there is a storage room and a kitchen. There is a well next to the kitchen.
The west side was converted into a stable, where Qian Feng's horse was tied. Chang'an led a few people to move the animal there first.
Qian Feng led the couple to the second entrance, which also had three main rooms. "This is where you will live. You can choose the room you want. You can live anywhere you want."
The scenery of the second courtyard is better than the first. There is a huge loquat tree planted in the yard, towering like a canopy. If you have nothing to do, sitting under the tree and drinking tea and reading a book must be very pleasant.
After the couple looked around the courtyard, they were both very satisfied.
"Thank you for your trouble and help in renting such a secluded yard. How much is the rent? We can split it in half later."
Qian Feng heard him say this, and waved his hands with a fierce face, "I rented this place to study, and I hired you. What are you talking about rent? Stop talking about it, I don't like it."
Chen Yunyou knew the character of the person in front of him, so he did not argue with him and thanked him with a smile.
Only then was Qian Feng satisfied.
