Chapter 340 Eye-Catching



After the scorching sun, the men who drank tea in the small teahouse gradually got up and left. There was an endless stream of merchants on the official road. Those who passed by the small teahouse would sit down here to rest their feet and drink a cup of tea.

All the merchants who came out to do business were men, and there were few boys. Therefore, the table here was accompanied by a boy and two children, which was particularly eye-catching.

Qi Wanfeng was wearing dark blue clothes, and his dress was between a man and a boy. In addition, he was taller than the average boy, so ordinary people would still think he was a man.

However, these merchants were all smart people. It was not difficult to tell at a glance that he was a boy. In addition, he was holding a child with an overly delicate and beautiful appearance in his arms, so they would look at him twice.

"Are you full? If you are, let's go." Cao Xiangnan originally wanted to stay here for a while, but when he found that everyone passing by looked at his wife, he felt unhappy. He just wanted to hide her and look at her by himself, and no one could look at her.

Xiaobao didn't eat anything just now, so they had to hurry to the next town to find some goat milk for Xiaobao and some food for this picky kid. Otherwise, if the child gets sick from hunger, he wouldn't be able to explain to Fang Ziye.

It doesn't matter what you do with your own children, but you have to raise other people's children as children. On this point, he and Wanfeng have the same idea, so the family doesn't treat Lele as a treasure, but they really treat Xiaobao as a treasure and love him.

Qi Wanfeng didn't notice what her husband was thinking. He was thinking that since both children were asleep, it would be good to go back to the carriage. "Okay." He replied.

"It's almost time, let's go." Shen Zhengyang saw that everyone had rested enough and it was time to get up and go. He gave the order and the manager went to inform everyone to get ready to leave.

When they were about to leave, the man who had just asked someone to give up his seat to them also stood up. The people who followed him also stood up, intending to leave.

The two met each other's eyes, and Cao Xiangnan nodded to him. After all, the other party had just given them a seat out of kindness, and the other party just nodded to him. The two did not talk much. Seeing that the other party was not a talkative person, he didn't dare to say hello to him.

Both teams were ready and set off at almost the same time. When Cao Xiangnan saw the other team holding a big flag with a big "Fang" written on it, he immediately thought of Fang Ziye.

He remembered that Fang Ziye had a caravan. Could it be that these people were all Fang Ziye's men? With this question in mind, Cao Xiangnan got on the carriage. He did not rule out the possibility that the other party just happened to have the surname Fang.

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and the two teams of carriages got on the road one after another, with the wheels making a gurgling sound. The wheels of their carriage had been specially treated, with shock absorbers added in the middle to reduce the vibration of the carriage. Sitting in it was not as bumpy as before, and it was much more comfortable. After Xiao Baoer woke up, the hungry child really started crying, and refused to eat the food he was fed. No matter how Wan Feng coaxed him, he refused. Cao Xiangnan wanted to throw this little ancestor off the carriage halfway. He was about to kneel down and beg this little ancestor to stop crying.

Shen Zhengyang cleverly got back into his carriage, holding Xiao Lele with him. Xiao Lele was holding a little white fox in his arms. They left together as a buy one get one free deal.

Where did he get the courage to bring Xiao Baoer along? Cao Xiangnan deeply suspected that his head was kicked by a donkey. Is it too late to send him back now? Children of this age are the most unreasonable. They don't understand what you say, but they understand when you scold them. He can't hit or scold them. If he speaks loudly, he will cry even louder, which will cause his wife to blame him.

"Be good, don't cry..."

"Just eat a little. Mommy will make you goat's milk when we get there." Qi Wanfeng knew that the child hadn't eaten goat's milk for a day, and now he was clamoring for goat's milk. After coaxing for a long time, Xiaobaoer was willing to open his cute little mouth to eat two bites of steamed buns. His little face was full of grievances, and his red eyes were full of grievances.

Cao Xiangnan looked at Xiaobaoer's aggrieved look, and he felt that he also needed comfort. He looked at his wife with a pitiful face.

Qi Wanfeng glanced at her husband, and seeing his look, she glanced at him and turned away.

In the caravan following behind, several men heard the crying of the child in the carriage in front all the way. They didn't know how long the child had been crying, but when they stopped crying, some people breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, he stopped crying!"

The leading man rode on a big horse, with no expression on his face. He could see the caravan in front when he raised his eyes.

The caravan that stopped halfway was overtaken by the caravan following behind.

When the sun set, there was still a faint sunset glow in the west, and their carriage arrived at the next small town.

They stopped and started along the way, and after entering the town, they were already later than other caravans. There were only a few small inns in the town, and they were all full of people. They went to Yipinzhai.

"Dear guests, please come in."

"Do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?" "

Stay in the hotel."

"I'm really sorry, our hotel is full." The waiter who greeted the guests heard that the guests wanted to stay in the hotel. At this time, there are more caravans than usual, and more merchants passing by their place to rest than usual, so the rooms in the hotel are full.

"Is your shopkeeper here?" Hearing that Yipinzhai was also full, Cao Xiangnan asked.

"What do you want to see our shopkeeper for?" When the waiter heard that the other party wanted to see their shopkeeper, their shopkeeper didn't have so much free time to take care of these things, and he didn't intend to ask their shopkeeper to come to see the other party.

"Call your shopkeeper over." Cao Xiangnan said without letting him be refused.

The waiter was really stunned by the intimidation.

The shopkeeper just came out and saw that the guests seemed to have an argument with the waiter. He hurriedly came over with a smile and asked what happened. The waiter just wanted to complain to the shopkeeper about these guests who came to the store to make trouble. There were no vacancies in the building, but they wanted to find the shopkeeper. What else could this be!

Cao Xiangnan did not say much, he directly took out a jade token from his pocket, turned his palm over, showed it to the other party, and said, "Shopkeeper, do you recognize this?"

"Yes, I recognize it. Sir, please come in, please come in." Seeing this jade token was like seeing their boss. The shopkeeper's face changed immediately when he saw this jade token, and his attitude changed 120 times. He said respectfully.

"We can't find a place to stay tonight. Is there a place to stay here?" Cao Xiangnan was not polite and asked directly.

If it was not necessary, he didn't want to take out the jade token that Fang Ziye gave him. When Fang Ziye gave it to him, he said that this jade token could be used in any Yipinzhai. Now he was wasting his talent, but there was nothing he could do.

They adults could still make do with it, but Xiaobaoer, this spoiled young master, would not make do with them.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, I will arrange a place for you to stay. Please follow me this way." The headmaster said yes immediately after hearing this.

"Wanfeng, Zhengyang, let's go." Cao Xiangnan put the jade card back into his arms. He didn't believe that the shopkeeper of Yipinzhai would not let them find a place to rest. He signaled Shen Zhengyang and Gan Weiqi to follow.

The group followed the shopkeeper to the back. A group of men were eating and drinking in the lobby. The man sitting in the middle saw the group of people coming in when he looked up. Naturally, he recognized the group of people he met in the teahouse.

Seeing that they followed the shopkeeper into the teahouse, he got up from his seat and went to find the waiter who was standing there just now. He asked a few questions and looked up at the direction where the people disappeared.

"It's here." said the shopkeeper.

They followed the shopkeeper to the back and came to the door of a courtyard. The shopkeeper pushed open the door and saw that the place was clean and tidy. There were some flowers and trees planted in the courtyard. It was quiet and elegant. It must be a place specially reserved for someone to live.

Seeing this place, the first thing Cao Xiangnan thought of was that Fang Ziye had reserved a place for him to live.

"Sir, there are really many caravans coming and going at this time. Several inns in the city are full of people, and the store is also full." The shopkeeper led the group inside and said as they walked.

Cao Xiangnan glanced at the courtyard and found that they could make arrangements for their group.

At this time, everyone was hungry. The shopkeeper carefully told the waiter to send food over, and asked the servant to clean the room carefully again. He left only after he saw that there was nothing to do at the back.

When the hot goat's milk was brought over, Xiao Bao drank the whole bowl of goat's milk in one mouthful. It seemed that he was really hungry. "Xiao Bao is so good." Seeing that the child drank the whole bowl of goat's milk, Qi Wanfeng smiled.

You see, he just ate it because he was hungry, why did he need to be coaxed? Cao Xiangnan wanted to say this, but was afraid that his wife would roll her eyes at him if he said it. He thought about it and decided to hold back. However, he also knew that Xiaobao'er's adorable temper was a habit he had acquired. Fang Ziye had treated this child like his lifeblood since he was born. After that, his Wanfeng was just continuing Fang Ziye's style. There was nothing wrong with that, Cao Xiangnan thought.

Cao Xiangnan was holding his little fat boy in his arms. The child had already eaten a lot. He nestled in his arms with his eyes half closed. He stretched out his little fat hand to cover his mouth and yawned. He must be sleepy and ready to sleep. He then drew water to bathe the two children. After they were washed, they lay on the bed and fell asleep together.

Night fell quickly, and those who had to get up early to go to work went to bed early.

On the second day, when it was still light, a caravan of merchants set out. Teams of carriages and horses left one after another, heading to the next place. These caravans traveled back and forth, and now they were rushing to make one more round trip before the heavy snow in winter came, so as to earn a little more money. After

breakfast, when the sun rose, their caravans also followed.
