Chapter 182: Come to the door

Wen Yan and the others came to Uncle Shitou's room.

Uncle Shitou walked at the end and closed the door with his backhand.

Wu Yunzi's eyes widened, and he shrank back a bit: "You...what are you planning to do?"

Wen Yan burst out laughing.

She regained her original voice: "Master, if I change my clothes, you won't recognize me?"

"This voice...are you Wen Yan?" Wu Yunzi blinked in disbelief and rubbed his eyes.

"What? You still don't believe it?" Wen Yan said again.

"No, no, no, I believe it. This time I really believe it." Wu Yunzi wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, sat down on the stool, and immediately relaxed the breath he had been holding: "Fortunately, it's you.

When he closed the door just now, I thought you were going to rob me and kill me."

Wen Yan asked curiously, "Why are you here instead of painting in the capital? You don't even have any followers with you."

"It's a long story. Anyway, I just... met the wrong person!" Wu Yunzi looked around awkwardly, not daring to look at Wen Yan.

I didn't even dare tell her about my experience.

He was afraid that Wen Yan would laugh at him for the rest of his life after hearing this.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say, Wen Yan did not ask any further questions.

Just ask him what to do next.

Wu Yunzi said, "Of course, we're going back to the capital. What about you? Where are you going disguised as a man?"

In just over a month, he suffered all the hardships in his life.

From then on, he never wanted to go out alone again.

However, the thought of having to travel alone again made him feel anxious.

He looked at Wen Yan eagerly: "Where are you going? Can you take me with you?"

Wen Yan did not hide her purpose and told the truth directly to Wu Yunzi.

"The drought in Jinyang Prefecture is so severe, there's nothing to eat or do, and there are starving victims and bandits everywhere. What are you doing there?

Why don't you come back to the capital with me?" Wu Yunzi now only wanted to return to the capital.

Let’s go back to the days when food was served and clothes were provided for us.

Wen Yan shook her head: "We must go this time."

Wu Yunzi saw that he could not fool Wen Yan, and thought that he would have to go back to Beijing alone again, and he was full of resistance.

Wen Yan saw Wu Yunzi's dilemma.

Wen Yan then suggested hiring a bodyguard for him to ensure his safe return to the capital.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yunzi directly rejected him.

Wu Yunzi decided: "I will go with you."

"What!" Wen Yan was stunned. "You want to go with us?"

"No." Wen Yan refused without even thinking.

Wu Yunzi looked aggrieved: "Why?"

"We have something to do this time. Your appearance is too conspicuous. You'll be the focus of attention wherever you go, and it's easy to expose your whereabouts."

"I'll wear a veil to cover it."

"Don't you think this behavior is even more suspicious?"

"Then...then dye my hair black?"

"We are very likely to encounter danger. Do you really want to go with us?" Wen Yan couldn't bear to refuse him because he looked so pitiful.

After receiving Wu Yunzi's affirmative answer, Wen Yan said, "Then I can only dye your hair."

When Wu Yunzi saw her nod in agreement, he finally felt relieved.

They didn't have much time, so Wen Yan immediately wrote a prescription and asked Wu Yunzi to go out and buy the things needed for hair dyeing.

Polygonum multiflorum, black beans, dried plums, dried mulberries, and some tools.

She wrote down every hair dye recipe she saw in the book.

Wu Yunzi's hair is all white, and it is definitely not possible to dye it properly in one go. She plans to dye his hair using each formula until his hair is dyed black.

Wu Yunzi felt even happier when he saw that Yan did not despise him at all and was helping him.

Uncle Shitou immediately took the list and went out to buy things.

"Then I'll make a pot of tea." Pei'er said, and left here, returned to her room, took a tea bag and went downstairs to ask the waiter to get water.

Wen Yan then took out a silver note from her bag, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Wu Yunzi: "Master, this silver note is from you. I took it to the bank to exchange it today, and the shopkeeper said it was a special silver note."

Wen Yan has already checked it.

She only has one such banknote.

Wu Yunzi picked up the banknote and looked at it carefully before nodding: "This is indeed a special banknote.

In an emergency, a silver note like this can be exchanged for ten times the amount of silver."

Wen Yan was surprised: "In other words, this silver note of one hundred taels can be exchanged for a loan of one thousand taels?"

"That's right. However, the Hefeng Bank's banknotes were only distributed to five families."

Wu Yunzi returned the banknote to Wen Yan: "You can keep it. It will be of great help if you are short of money in the future."

Wen Yan didn't dare to accept such an important banknote.

One refused to accept it, the other didn't want it, and the two pushed and refused.

Crunch...

The door was pushed open from the outside.

There was an old lady standing outside the door.

She looked at the people in the room with sharp eyes.

Wen Yan saw the person coming,

My heart instantly jumped up.

This old nanny was originally a second-class nanny serving Wen Yan's adoptive mother Jiang Xinkui.

She is very good at housekeeping and is highly valued by Jiang Xinkui.

It can be said that Wen Yan grew up under her care.

Before Wen Ruyue came back, she was very nice to Wen Yan.

After Wen Ruyue came back, she was only loyal to the real daughter.

Jiang Xinkui sent her to serve Wen Ruyue.

Finally, she followed Wen Ruyue to the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion as a dowry.

It can be said that the old nanny is Wen Ruyue's confidant.

Wen Ruyue also took her with him when he left the capital this time.

The old nanny came to the inn at this time, which must be because her whereabouts were exposed, which aroused Wen Ruyue's suspicion, and she sent someone to investigate her whereabouts.

She dressed herself as a man and had her appearance modified.

The old lady might not recognize herself.

Wen Yan was alert in her heart, but her expression was flawless.

She glared at the old lady angrily: "Who are you to dare to break into my room?"

When the old nanny saw Wen Yan, she also showed a surprised expression.

The young man in front of him was about 50% similar to Wen Yan.

The person in front of him was obviously a young man.

His voice was much rougher, and his demeanor and mannerisms were more masculine.

However, these can all be disguised!

"Is Dafu living in this room?" She smiled apologetically and strode in.

She went straight to Wen Yan, staring at her ears intently.

To tell whether the person in front of you is Wen Yan, just look at whether she has pierced ears.

"What Dafu? This is my room, get out!" Wen Yan had an angry expression as if he was offended.

While stepping back, he also pushed the old lady away.

But the old lady had sharp eyes and had seen what she wanted to see.

The boy's ears were thick and smooth, without any ear holes.

And the closer she got, the less she looked like Wen Yan.

There are even two small moles on the nose.

The old lady pounded her waist and said confidently, "If you don't want to show it to me, then don't show it to me. Why are you so fierce and touching me? Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young?"

"You come in uninvited and you still think you have the right to do so! Believe it or not, I will throw you out!" As she said this, she grabbed the old lady's collar with one hand and dragged her out of the door like a chick.
