The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

The ox cart finally entered the town. Mu Qingcheng covered her face with her sleeves, leaving only a pair of big eyes exposed as she looked around.

The town was not large, with a main street that stretched as far as the eye could see. Both sides of the street were lined with blue brick and tile houses, and several shops were doing very prosperous business, welcoming and seeing off guests like clouds.

The main street was bustling with people, and the other street next to the main street was where today's big market was. The street was crowded and noisy.

Mu Qingcheng was in charge, Yun Qing was driving, and the two of them were pulling the ox cart into a less crowded street.

As soon as they turned the corner, a fragrant aroma hit them. They both turned their heads to look for the source of the aroma. A bun shop had just steamed a pot of buns, and the moment they opened the steamer, the aroma filled the air.

Mu Qingcheng couldn't bear it any longer: "Yun Qing, let's find a place to eat first, and then find a clinic after dinner."

Yun Qing's face suddenly turned red. Not only was the little girl hungry, but he couldn't help drooling when he smelled the fragrance, and his stomach was rumbling.

Yun Qing nodded shyly, and Mu Qingcheng jumped off the ox cart and headed straight for the bun shop.

"Boss, how do I buy buns?"

The man selling the buns was a man in his forties. He greeted me with a smile, "Miss, you've come at the right time. These are freshly steamed buns. Meat buns are five cents each, and vegetarian buns are two for five cents each."

Mu Qingcheng didn't expect that the buns would be so cheap. She took out the smallest silver coin from her purse. She didn't know how much this one or two ounces of silver was equal to, but a few buns should be enough anyway!

She handed the silver to the boss and said, "Boss, I want ten meat buns and ten vegetarian buns."

The boss was surprised, not because the little girl wanted so many buns, but because she was holding silver.

The boss looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He lowered his head and whispered, "Little girl, quickly put your money away. Eat the buns first, and we'll pay you later."

Mu Qingcheng was puzzled and looked at the boss in confusion. The boss smiled embarrassedly and said, "Miss, this is one tael of silver, a full string of coins. Even if I gave you all the copper coins in this shop, it wouldn't be enough. Please eat first and I'll change it for you."

Ah! How much is one guan of money? Mu Qingcheng was a little confused, but she didn't dare to ask.

Mu Qingcheng said: "So that's how it is! Then can we eat in your restaurant?"

The boss laughed happily when he heard this: "Please sit inside. We have delicious wontons in our store. Would you like to try some, little girl?"

Mu Qingcheng nodded vigorously; "Boss, give me three bowls first. My brother is still over there, I'll go call him."

The boss saw an ox cart at the intersection, with a young man in white sitting on it. Although it was an ox cart, he had an extraordinary aura and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

"Little girl, please park the ox cart in our backyard! Our yard is big!"

Mu Qingcheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, there is a patient in our car. He is my cousin. We encountered bandits two days ago and he was seriously injured. Do you mind?"

As she spoke, she observed the boss's expression, and sure enough, the boss looked nervous: "Hey... little girl, where did you encounter bandits?"

Mu Qingcheng said, "We came to the south from Yunzhou to play. My cousin is a martial arts expert and he protected us all the way. Unfortunately, when we got to the nearby mountains, we encountered a group of bandits. They were really powerful! My cousin was outnumbered and was almost killed by the bandits in order to protect me and my brother... We hid in the mountains for two days before we dared to come to town to find a doctor to treat my cousin."

Mu Qingcheng sobbed as she spoke, wiping her tears with her sleeves, and continued to secretly observe her boss's reaction.

"Oh my! You young people just love to mess around. Don't you know that this world is not peaceful?" The boss looked distressed. "No matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, you can't defeat a large number of people! Fortunately, you escaped..."

The boss looked around and cautiously lowered his head as he whispered to Mu Qingcheng, "You outsiders don't know how dangerous our place is. I heard there's a mine in the nearby mountains, and the miners are all kidnapped outsiders. Young people like you will be doomed if they target you, especially young girls like you. They... Hey! Forget it, hurry up and drive the ox cart into the backyard."

After hearing this, Mu Qingcheng pretended to be terrified. The boss couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Don't be afraid, girl! You can stay in my shop first. I will find you the most reliable doctor in our town. I guarantee that he is no worse than the doctors in the city."

"Really? Thank you so much!" Mu Qingcheng pretended to be flustered and thanked the boss gratefully.

"No need to thank me. It's not easy to be away from home. Meeting is fate."

Mu Qingcheng returned to Yun Qing's side. Yun Qing had very good hearing and had heard their conversation clearly. She gave Yun Qing a brief account.

"I think this boss is very unusual, but he doesn't look like a bad person at all."

Yun Qing thought to himself, how can a villain be written on his face? As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Those treacherous people who are good at disguising themselves are much more insidious than villains.

Mu Qingcheng said, "Just in case, I'll eat first. If I'm fine after I finish eating, you can eat later." Mu Qingcheng whispered in Yun Qing's ear.

The two of them were too close, and the hot breath from her mouth tickled Yun Qing's ears. He quickly distracted himself mentally, fearing his face would turn red like a boiled crab, which would be embarrassing. He thought, thankfully, this girl is cautious and knows how to tread carefully without his reminders. That's a good thing.

Yun Qing and Mu Qingcheng drove the ox cart to the backyard of the bun shop. Sure enough, the yard was large and clean. To the north was a row of five blue brick and tile houses. Although the houses were old, they were not at all shabby.

Along the west wall was a row of stables, and there were already three donkeys in the stables.

"Boss, why do you raise so many donkeys?" Mu Qingcheng asked curiously.

The boss laughed heartily and said, "My bun shop not only sells buns, but also provides accommodation. Every time there's a big market, traveling merchants from the north come here to sell their goods. These animals are brought here by these traveling merchants. They've been friends with us for many years. Whenever they come to Daxing Town, they definitely stay here."

When Mu Qingcheng heard that this place was still available for accommodation, her eyes lit up: "Boss, are there any other inns in this town besides yours?"

The boss said, "There's a Xingyue Building on the main street. It's a good place to eat and stay, but it's not really suitable for a young girl like you."

Mu Qingcheng asked, "Why can't I live here?"

The boss said with some embarrassment: "To be honest with you, sir, the people living in that store are all men. They are here for pleasure...!"

The boss didn't dare to tell Mu Qingcheng, so he just said something to Yun Qing, something that every man would understand. Yun Qing understood immediately and nodded.

Mu Qingcheng was still wondering what puzzle they were playing, but he realized it belatedly and immediately understood the boss's hint.

Yun Qing took her hand and wrote, "Let's stay here tonight." Mu Qingcheng also had this plan.

"Boss, do you have any guest rooms? Two would be fine, three would be even better."

"Yes, yes, yes." The boss greeted her excitedly, "There are two guest rooms in the backyard. They're quieter than here. My wife and I will also live in the backyard. The other room is my son's room. He goes to school at the academy and usually lives there. I'll clean it up for you two right away."

"This isn't good! Wouldn't it be inconvenient for us to stay in your son's room? Otherwise, how about you and your cousin stay in one?"

Mu Qingcheng asked Yun Qing, and Yun Qing nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay, those two rooms are ready. We clean them every day! They can be occupied right now. Come with me, both of you."

Before Mu Qingcheng could even ask him how much the room cost, the boss had already rushed to the backyard, calling out to his wife as he walked: "Madam, Madam, there are guests coming."
