Chapter 87: City
Uncle He's voice was quite loud. Even though the guests at other tables didn't hear his cold scolding because of the noise around them, Zhou Yunshu next to him heard it clearly, not to mention that Uncle He had no intention of concealing it at all.
Uncle He noticed Zhou Yunshu's gaze behind her veil and turned his head to look away.
He was deceived so badly by Zhou Yunshu that he didn't even know whether she was a man or a woman.
He could have deceived himself, but every time he saw Zhou Yunshu in women's clothing, he couldn't help but think again and again how stupid he had been before.
Zhou Yunshu was not surprised by Uncle He's attitude towards her at this time.
If he really still had no opinion of her after going through so much, then she really had to think carefully about whether he was planning something bad for her.
"Yun'er." Wu Gui's voice became low and hoarse after taking Mr. Xue's medicine. "Come and sit down."
Wu Gui borrowed a table from the store owner for their own use. Just then, another table of customers finished their meal and left, so he let Zhou Yunshu and the others sit down.
In addition to the tea eggs bought from the store for lunch, Fang Huiwen and Chunque borrowed the store's pot to make two large pots of sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles. Except for the four younger ones, everyone got a full bowl.
When she was still in modern times, Zhou Yunshu would eat while watching TV; now that she is back in this era, she would eat while listening to the gossip around her.
After eating and drinking and taking a short rest, Zhou Yunshu and his group continued on their journey and finally arrived at the provincial capital before the city gates closed.
It was not early at this time, and the inns near the city gate were already full of people.
There was no choice but to continue walking into the city and look for an inn.
As the carriage was driving on the wide main road of the city, Zhou Yunshu lifted a corner of the curtain.
Should we say that it is worthy of being the most prosperous city in Luzhou?
There was no sign of disaster in Luzhou's capital city. There were not even a few refugees in the city. Its prosperous and comfortable appearance made Zhou Yunshu feel as if she was back in the capital.
Yes, the main military forces of Luzhou are gathered near the provincial capital, and it is estimated that not many refugees will be so desperate as to force their way into the provincial capital.
Zhou Yunshu is not the type of person who gets sad about the passing of time. There are some things she can take care of, but there are also some things she cannot take care of, so as not to add unnecessary troubles to herself.
The inn where Zhou Yunshu and her group finally settled was at the junction of East City and North City, and was called Yunlai Inn.
Yunlai Inn is very large. In addition to the rooms on the first and second floors of the inn lobby, there are three separate courtyards at the back.
Each courtyard has three main rooms and three side rooms on each side. One courtyard is just big enough for Zhou Yunshu and others to live in.
Not only that, for the convenience of guests, Yunlai Inn has a back door in each courtyard.
Guests who rent the courtyard can enter and exit through the back door without going through the main gate of the inn, which is more convenient.
Of the three courtyards, only the one closest to the inside was left, and Zhou Yunshu paid five days' rent for it without hesitation.
During these five days, we wanted to give everyone a good rest after the long journey; secondly, we wanted to find out the current news outside and in the court; and finally, we wanted to wait for Du Mazi, Yan Shilei and Qingfeng to meet up, and find an opportunity to take Zhou Yunjia away.
There was chaos on Wolong Mountain at that time, and no one knew what happened to Zhou Yunjia, Yang Yuhao and others, and whether they had left the Red Lotus Sect safely.
After finding a place to stay, Li Jialan and Wu Yue took people to pack up their things at home. Wu Gui, Zhou Yunshu, who was wearing a veil hat, and Hu Zi prepared to buy some things before curfew.
Zhou Yunshu had modified the appearance of several people with makeup, so even if Wei Zhong stood in front of them, he might not be able to recognize them.
Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui walked side by side in front, and Hu Zi and the other two followed behind them.
The first thing they had to buy was of course food, and although the inn had some, the variety was limited, and they wanted a good meal on their first day of settling in.
Zhou Yunshu and her companions came out at the right time, as the stalls, restaurants and hotels in the city were just about to open for dinner.
Zhou Yunshu, Wu Gui and others were like mice falling into a rice warehouse. They wanted to buy everything they saw. After all, they had plenty of money.
I bought fifty butter-baked buns, fifteen pounds of braised pork, and ordered the store's own garlic sauce; I also ordered two roast geese from the shop next door.
After finding out about a more famous restaurant in the city, Zhou Yunshu and Wu Gui went straight to the restaurant, ordered three tables of twelve-course banquet, and had it prepared and delivered to their current location. They also ordered four pots of Lihuazui so that everyone could have a drink in the evening.
After the food was prepared, the five of them went to a clothing store that was about to close and bought two sets of clothes and shoes for each person in the family. After buying these, the five of them returned to the courtyard.
When the five people returned, the food from the restaurant had not yet been delivered.
Hu Zi asked Gou Xiong and others to go to the shopkeeper to borrow tables and chairs. After the tables and chairs were ready, the butter cakes, braised meat and roast goose they bought were served on the table. The 15 pounds of dumplings that Zhou Yunshu ordered from the inn were also placed on the table in order.
The main room couldn't accommodate three tables, so they had to be placed in a triangle in the yard.
After the dumplings were served, the back door of their yard was knocked, and the waiter in the restaurant helped Hu Zi and others to serve the three tables of food in turn.
It was dark, and lanterns illuminated the yard. Zhou Yunshu and others finally sat down at the dinner table.
But after sitting down, no one picked up their chopsticks and everyone looked at Zhou Yunshu.
Zhou Yunshu looked at everyone, stood up and said solemnly: "First of all, thank you for your hard work during this period."
"Boss, it's not hard!" Hu Zi said flatteringly.
Although he was a little confused about his boss changing from a scholar to a girl, Hu Zi believed that the boss was the boss and it didn't matter whether he was a boy or a girl.
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "However, the hard days are over. Once we are all together, we can start a new life!"
"I think after spending some time with you, everyone has a better understanding of how I deal with people. What I want to say is that as long as they are mine, I will never treat them unfairly."
Zhou Yunshu looked at everyone present and said seriously: "I can do what men can do, and I can also do what men cannot do."
"As long as you are willing to trust me wholeheartedly, I am willing to promise you that I can help you achieve whatever you want."
She said this to Hu Zi and Liang Lao San and the others. As for Uncle He's words... she didn't think her words could convince him.
Uncle He was drinking alone. Just as Zhou Yunshu thought, he didn't believe the empty words Zhou Yunshu said.
But when he looked up and saw Zhou Yunshu looking at him, he inexplicably felt that what she said would definitely come true.
"Boss, I believe you!" Hu Zi raised the wine glass in his hand.
The bear and the hound were not to be outdone, "Boss, you are the best!"
Uncle He rolled his eyes silently at the brainless trio and drank the wine in his glass.
Zhou Yunshu noticed Uncle He's little action and turned the wine glass in her hand. Although Uncle He would not stand with her now, he had to stand with her.
She would not let a smart man who knew too much about herself leave her side and out of her control.
If she doesn't join, she will be sorry to Uncle He.
