Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

After lunch, Xiaoyue asked Niu Zhen to continue shopping around West Street with her, and then enter from the north entrance of East Street.

Walking along East Street, Xiaoyue bought some of the cheapest pens, ink, paper and inkstone, as well as several storybooks.

Niu Zhen took it and put it in the car very considerately.

Xiaoyue didn't want to buy anything, so she just got in the car and enjoyed the street view.

The air in East Street is filled with the smell of meat and wine, and the air in West Street is filled with the smell of rouge and powder. The smells on both sides are not very pleasant. The smell of meat and wine in East Street is not as fragrant as that in Zhenweilou. The smell of rouge and powder in West Street is not as good as that in Shuiyunjian.

Should we open more Zhenweilou and Shuiyunjian restaurants in the future?

By the way, Zhenweilou and Shuiyunjian are not in my hands yet.

Really, I forgot about this.

Then wait a little longer. Wait until all the scum is dealt with first...

Xiaoyue was thinking about it when she suddenly smelled a familiar smell. It was the aroma of the unique marinated meat from Zhenweilou.

Through the screen window of the carriage, Xiaoyue could see outside. Following the smell, she saw a donkey cart selling braised pork, with about ten people queuing up.

As the carriage moved forward, she could see clearly the man selling the braised pork. She remembered that he was a waiter from Zhenweilou.

What's it called...

Yunlai Inn also serves food, and even if you are not staying here, you can still eat in the lobby in front. There is also a donkey cart selling braised meat outside the door, and the business is quite good.

Haha, interesting.

"Aunt, we have arrived at Yunlai Inn."

Niu Zhen still stopped the car politely and said something to the carriage from outside the car without being too loud. Knowing the habit of this aunt, he stood aside respectfully.

Xiaoyue gathered her thoughts and got out of the car.

At this time, a waiter came forward enthusiastically. He should have known Niu Zhen. After saying hello, he waited on the side, ready to take the guests in.

The plaque and facade of Yunlai Inn remain the same as they were a few months ago.

Even the guy in front of me is a familiar face.

But the other party definitely didn't recognize who this aunt was.

Xiaoyue paid Niu Zhen the remaining fare and gave him an extra piece of silver, about two cents.

Niu Zhen was stunned when he saw the extra change.

"For you. Don't forget the few packets of food in the carriage."

The sesame cakes for the morning, the noodles and roast chicken for lunch, plus these two coins, are not a small amount. Is there anything else in the carriage?

The fare from Qingniu Town to Xinghua County was only half a tael of silver.

It is said that no reward is given without merit.

He was just a driver, and a cripple at that. Besides, there was no danger on the way today, so there was no need for him to make any extra effort.

what happened?

This money and stuff?

"Take it. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Auntie is happy and in a good mood."

Niu Zhen felt that the money in his hand was a bit heavy, and he was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

At this time, Xiaoyue had already asked the waiter to lead the way into the inn.

Xiaoyue originally wanted to stay in the superior room on the third floor, which was quiet, peaceful, spacious and comfortable. But the waiter told her that all the superior rooms were booked out, so she couldn't stay there even if they were available.

She had to settle for a medium-sized room.

Anyway, as long as she lives there alone, it doesn’t matter if the conditions inside are a little worse since she isn’t really going to live there.

After the waiter arranged a room for her, he made her a pot of good tea to express his apology.

She closed the door and looked around the room carefully.

A bed, a table, two chairs, and a wooden shelf with a wooden basin on it.

The room is not big, with simple furnishings. The window faces north and overlooks the backyard of the inn.

The medium-level rooms are on the second floor, and you can hear the noise from the lobby on the first floor more clearly, and you can also smell the fumes from the kitchen.

The guest rooms on the third floor are much better.

Never mind, I'm not really staying here. The space is better than any other hotel room.

I felt comforted in my heart, but I felt uncomfortable when I thought that the room upstairs was empty but could not be lived in.

Who is so rich that he books a room but doesn't come to stay?

Really rich and powerful.

After drinking two bowls of tea, Xiaoyue swaggered out of the room.

When she was going downstairs, she saw the waiter who led her upstairs. The waiter greeted her politely and stepped back to let her go first.

Outside the inn, the donkey cart selling braised pork was still there, with only two or three people surrounding it. Judging from the shouting, the goods were almost sold out.

Xiaoyue walked on the street with big strides, found a secluded alley, turned into it and entered the space, changed into the clothes of an ordinary farm boy, and headed out of the county town.

When the original owner's mother, Li Zuo, was alive, she secretly acquired some properties without Gu Qianzhang's knowledge, including Yunlai Inn, Baicaotang, and Menghui Farm, all in Xinghua County.

Those who knew about it included the original owner's brother and sister, Rong's mother, the four shopkeepers of Zhenweilou, Shuiyunjian, Yunlai Inn, and Baicaotang, as well as the village head of the manor. Among them, the shopkeepers of Yunlai Inn and Baicaotang, as well as the village head of Xinghua County, were all servants of Li's mother's family. The others were Li's own people.

Something happened to the original owner, and Gu Qianzhang and Zhang Xiniang robbed the original owner's property. It turned out that those people had nowhere to go, so most of them would go to Xinghua County.

Back then, after Li Zuo married Gu Qianzhang, they were a loving couple and had a pair of lovely children.

When the original owner was five years old, her maternal grandfather, Li Gong's father, who was a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue, was implicated and thrown into prison. Even Li Gong's elder brother, who was exiled, was also implicated and his entire family was beheaded. The family property of her mother's family was confiscated and the servants were sold again.

Li Zhao did a good job in taking care of the dowry, managing the harem, doing business and making money. But when faced with such a big change, she was a woman after all, so she would definitely seek help from her partner.
