Chapter 349: A Bad Romance
Siyan had no way to deal with him, so the two of them left the big shop and went to the small clothing store diagonally opposite.
"Of course I want to buy something good, but it has to be both good and cheap."
"I finally know why I was beaten when I first met you." Siyan smiled. She remembered that she had calculated the money and cents for people at that time, so it would be strange if she didn't get beaten.
To be honest, the small clothing store is a mess, but judging by the quality of the clothes, it is certainly not worse than this big one.
Just as Yuan Zhenkuan said, there was a tailor inside. He picked out two of the best clothes in the store, tried them on, and asked someone to alter the cuffs and waistline. The store owner promised that they could come and pick them up after they bought other things. It was really good quality and cheap.
Yuan Zhenkuan was very happy, as this saved his master a lot of money.
"Well, with the money we saved, why not treat you to a small meal at a restaurant." After walking for half a day, Siyan was afraid that he would be hungry, so she said.
Yan Zhenkuan nodded. It was true that they hadn't eaten anything good on the road, and he was a very greedy person. After the two of them bought clothes, the remaining money was enough for them to have a good meal in a restaurant.
"Let's eat. Let's pack a chicken for them both. Doesn't Sister Jin Ge really like chicken?"
"If you have a conscience, I think so too."
As they talked, the two of them went into the restaurant next door. It was not extravagant. Yuan Zhengkuan calculated the money and the quantity was enough for the two of them. Siyan really didn't have to worry about it.
After finishing the meal, Yuan Zhenkuan called the waiter over to pay, but to his surprise, the waiter bowed and said, "You two have already been paid."
Siyan frowned: "I don't know who gave me the money, please pay it back to him. We can still afford this little bit of food, and we don't need anyone to help us."
There is no free lunch in this world, Siyan understands this. She grew up in a brothel and has seen all kinds of people.
In the past, whether at Zhaojing or Tianyao's Shangcuilou, she had never paid for meals outside. But now the situation was different. She followed her master and could not lose face for him.
Siyan raised her chin towards Yuan Zhenkuan, and Yuan Zhenkuan took out the corresponding meal money from his silver bag and put it on the table.
"Pack a roast chicken for me." Yuan Zhenkuan instructed.
"Then you two wait a moment, I'll go and pack it right away." The waiter was in a dilemma, but seeing Siyan's cold face, he could only take the silver given by Yuan Zhenkuan and retreat.
"No matter which of the two sisters goes out on the street, I'm afraid they will not have peace." Yuan Zhenkuan looked around quietly.
"You're dead! You said your sister Jin Ge isn't pretty!"
"No! With her complexion and figure, even if others think she is pretty, they wouldn't dare to approach her!" Yuan Zhenkuan explained.
"Looks like I have to comb my hair like a woman, but I can't cause trouble for the master."
Enyan touched her head and straightened her body. Even martial arts training could not hide her charming and seductive figure.
As he was speaking, the waiter brought over a chicken wrapped in oil paper.
Behind him followed a man in brocade clothes, about thirty years old.
Although Yuan Zhenkuan did not know martial arts, he protected Siyan, who was good at martial arts, by his side.
He grabbed the chicken with one hand and protected Siyan with the other, without even looking at the man, and walked out of the restaurant.
But as soon as he left the restaurant, he was stopped by someone, who was accompanied by guards.
"What are you doing?" Yuan Zhenkuan asked sternly.
"You two..."
Before the man could utter a word, a hairpin hit his back.
"You..." He looked sideways and saw Siyan's cold face.
Siyan exerted force, and the hairpin pierced through his clothes and pressed against his flesh.
"This is Yuan Wu! We Zhaojing people have broadened our horizons!" Yuan Zhenkuan didn't dare to say that he was from Tianyao, because he knew that his words were not taken seriously.
The man then realized that the two people were from other countries.
"I'm sorry to both of you, but since you're not from here, I just wanted to do my duty as a host." The man changed the subject.
"I'm not someone you can mess with, get out!" Siyan spat out a few words from between her teeth.
The man glanced at his men, who had no choice but to make way.
Siyan let go and put the hairpin back on her head. Di Zhenkuan protected her again and they left.
"My younger brother has grown up!" Siyan praised.
Yuan Zhenkuan nodded: "It seems that I still need to learn some kung fu, so as not to hold my sisters back."
"Young Master."
The subordinate was called Pei Hongxi, and his eyes were still following Siyan, without any reaction.
"There's even less need to be afraid of his countrymen." Pei Hongxi said something so unclear that his subordinates hadn't reacted yet.
"Young Master!" The subordinate called Pei Hongxi again.
He said to the man, "Go and follow him to see which inn he is staying at."
The man received the order and went, but in a blink of an eye, he could no longer find the two men, so he came back to report.
Pei Hongxi smiled and said, "It's definitely not that easy to catch up with someone who knows martial arts. But there are only a few inns. Go check them out for me quickly. If you can't handle this little thing, there's no need to return to the Pei Mansion."
The Pei family is the richest family in this city. Pei Hongxi is the eldest son of the Pei family. He is handsome, but he is very greedy for beauty.
He has married more than a dozen wives and concubines at home, but he is still not satisfied. Whenever he goes out, he always keeps his eyes on women. Everyone knows him, but because the Pei family is rich and powerful, they dare not speak out. But today he suffered a loss at the hands of Siyan.
Siyan and Yuan Zhenkuan bought all the things and returned to the inn. They also paid special attention to whether there was a tail, which was what Siyan was good at.
When they returned to the inn, Feng Aoqing and An Jinge had also returned.
The two did not mention what happened in the restaurant today, because it was an extremely ordinary and trivial matter for Siyan.
They planned to sleep here for one night and then set off the next day.
Today An Jinge went to inquire about it and found out that there is a large area of mountain forest between the two border cities, with small towns and villages scattered among the mountains and forests. Due to ownership issues, the area has changed from being under the control of both sides to being under the control of neither side.
However, there is an astonishing volume of medicinal material trading in these small towns. This is where Feng Aoqing wants to go. Only in these lawless places can you buy good things that are not available on the market. This is the same as the ghost market.
Now that they had made up their minds, the four of them took a rest.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they got up early the next morning, the waiter came knocking on the door.
An Jinge needed to protect Feng Aoqing, so the two of them lived in a suite with front and back rooms, while Siyan and Yuan Zhenkuan each lived in a single room, on the left and right of the suite.
The door that was knocked open was Siyan's door.
When the waiter saw her coming to open the door, he first bowed and then made way for her.
A group of little girls began to deliver things into the house one after another. The noise was so loud that Feng Aoqing and the others opened the door to see.
Everyone saw that some trays contained gorgeous clothes, some contained rouge and powder, and some contained brocade boxes. Feng Aoqing guessed that they were jewelry.
An Jinge stopped Feng Aoqing behind him and the two exchanged glances.
Normally, An Jinge would think that Feng Aoqing was the one who had the affair, because this was a common occurrence, but she had been with Feng Aoqing yesterday, so she was sure it wasn't her.
"Wait! Get out of here, everyone! Take your things with you!" Si Yan shouted.
