I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.
Chapter 36 Wanzhou City (Part )
The reason was simple. Two or three hours had passed and Shen Ying, who had said she would come out, did not come out.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen Youtian are going to the city to look for their daughter, worried that something might have happened to her.
But the other members of the Shen family felt that Shen Youtian's family had planned this deliberately to get rid of the others.
Facing his niece-in-law's words, Shen Youtian was extremely surprised: "Why should I get rid of you? Why do you have such an idea?"
Shen's mother also quickly said that there was no such thing: "We only have one daughter, she went to a strange place alone, we will bring her back when we find her, and leave the car outside, is that okay?"
Zhang Yu kept humming and hawing, but didn't say anything. He just stared at Shen Youtian and his wife, as if he was afraid that they would run away.
Shen Youtian looked directly at his brother and sister-in-law: "Don't you care?"
As an elder, it is not easy for him to get involved with the younger ones, especially the women, but his younger brothers and sisters can restrain him a little.
"Brother, Shen Ying will be fine. Let's wait a little longer. Otherwise, it will cost one or two taels of silver as soon as we enter the door. We don't plan to stop here. Thank you."
This reason is quite tenable. Shen Youtian endured it again and again, sighed and sat back in the carriage.
On the other side, Shen Ying had been waiting for no one, and thinking that the Shen family was still outside, she simply prepared a basket of food and drinks, bought two bottles of wine and some cooked meat, and went to the city gate.
The officer saw someone approaching and immediately stopped him: "Are you going to leave the city? Did you know that there's a curfew soon?"
Shen Ying put on a flattering smile, hoping that they would give the basket to the Shen family. "The family that showed up today with a horse carriage and a mule cart, the male owner has a big black mole on his face, and he is ugly. This is a small token of my appreciation. I am sorry to trouble you."
With fine wine and barbecue in front, there is enough for four or five people to drink.
A few people hesitated for a moment, but the leader asked, "Who has ever seen a team like this?"
Immediately a soldier said that he had seen it and that they had just had an argument over whether to enter the city.
Shen Ying immediately took out a string of copper coins and said, "Then please tell me that I have something else to do in the city and will be out the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Good fellow, the wine and meat are complete and they even pay for it. The leader nodded and the soldier rushed out. He looked around and found the Shen family's team.
They had mules, donkeys and horses, but they dared not go deep into the forest, let alone to places where there were many refugees. They only dared to stay near the city wall and prepare to spend the night.
In fact, you can see it without even looking for it.
"Who is Shen Youtian?" The soldier shouted, and immediately a man with a black mole came out to claim him. He thought to himself that the girl's description was really accurate: "This is given to you by your daughter. Keep it. She said she has something else to do in the city. She will leave the city at the latest the morning after tomorrow. Please be careful."
Shen Youtian nodded and took the basket. After watching the official leave, his back immediately straightened.
His daughter was fine, and he could still find a way to send them supplies. He must have just been temporarily held up by other matters. The day after tomorrow would only be two days of waiting. He could afford to wait!
The basket was put into the carriage. Soon, Grandma Shen got off the mule cart and came over.
But this time, what Shen Ying gave her were basically sesame cakes and steamed buns. She didn’t think there was anything good, so she looked around the carriage again and again without being very satisfied.
Shen's mother noticed this.
When I was at home, my mother-in-law rarely acted like this, and each family saved their own pocket money.
She was a little annoyed that they were still doing this now that they had to flee the famine. "Mom, the basket is only this big, and you can count how many things there are in it."
Grandma Shen paused: "Did I say anything? Did I say anything?"
He jumped out of the car and left unwillingly. After a while, he came over to smell secretly, and only smelled the stench of horse shit, so he really walked away.
Inside the car, the two people who were awake listened to the footsteps and both sighed.
Shen Ying gradually fell asleep while waiting. When she woke up the next day, it was already bright outside.
Next to the door, the trap made before going to bed was not triggered, which meant that no one even knocked on the door. "So, Lian Bihe has not contacted her confidant yet, or is she planning to break the contract and let this deal fall through?"
No matter what, Shen Ying got up directly, washed up, and had breakfast in the mall. It was beef pie and chicken wonton soup, which was a bit greasy, so she ordered a plate of vegetables to relieve the greasiness.
After eating and drinking, Shen Ying went downstairs and walked on the relatively busy street. Looking at the passers-by around her, she felt for a moment as if she was still filming in Hengdian.
But most of the vendors in Hengdian sell molds, and the things they sell on their stalls are also low-quality wholesale products.
"Take a look, take a look, the most practical style, when you put it on, you will be more beautiful than flowers~" This advertising slogan is quite familiar.
Shen Ying approached the shouting man, who was a peddler selling hairpins and head ornaments. She picked up an item at random, which turned out to be a carefully polished auspicious cloud hairpin. The head ornament next to it was tightly sewn with silk thread.
The color matching and fabric are not very good, but the workmanship is absolutely good.
"how much is this?"
The vendor looked at Shen Ying's sturdy figure, then at the material of the clothes, and boldly made an offer. "Two coins."
Shen Ying put the hairpin down with a smile. The vendor immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly changed his words: "But today we have a big wedding at home, so the price is negotiable."
The vendors have long developed thick skin through hard work in life, and so has Shen Ying.
She may be a cold and aloof goddess in TV dramas, but in reality she still can't escape the flavor of an ordinary stock market citizen, which is understandable.
But understanding doesn’t mean you want to be taken advantage of. “Just tell me the real price. I don’t want to haggle with you.”
The peddler looked at Shen Ying's face and sighed in his heart, "Why don't you bargain with me? It's scary that you suddenly talk like this, as if you are going to attack me if I don't tell you the actual price."
The vendor looked at his own thin arms and legs, then at Shen Ying's. "This undyed one is five cents each, these hair ornaments are eight cents, two are fifteen cents... a hair tie is two cents."
The vendor introduced the items on the stall in a down-to-earth manner and waited for Shen Ying to make her choice.
"This, and this, and these two, give them all to me." Shen Ying bought everything she liked. The vendor took the money with surprise and handed the items to Shen Ying respectfully.
Now the prices of all food-related items in the city have gone up. Everyone feels the panic of the impending storm and subconsciously hoards food, so they buy less other supplies. For several days in a row, he could only sell one or two hairpins, and he was starving.
I didn't expect that although she doesn't look cool, she is cool when it comes to buying things.
After paying, Shen Ying saw a cloth shop next to her. She thought of how gorgeous the ancient costumes in the mall were. They were not suitable for ordinary people to wear, and even more unsuitable to be seen when fleeing famine. She thought of buying two sets of ready-made clothes to wear.
After entering, I found that the fact that ancient clothes had no waist and did not show the body shape also had its advantages. Slightly plump people could also buy wearable clothes in a place full of thin people, but they would definitely not be as slim-fitting when worn.
After watching two sets in a row, she was very satisfied. However, Shen Ying felt her wallet and found that she didn't have much money left.
Now there is still no news about Bihe.
At this moment, the silver building that she accidentally saw caught Shen Ying's attention.
Silver building, a place where ornaments and jewelry were sold in ancient times.
If you want to apologize quickly and not break the law... then this should be a good choice.
She thought about it, found a secluded place, picked out an exquisitely crafted bracelet from the mall, and went to the jewelry store disguised as such.
