Chapter 2305 [Shang Xie] Finale (Part 4)
"Girl, you can tell at first glance that you're not a local, right?"
Xia Fuyi, who had spent five years in Taixu Mountain and could barely be considered a half-native, remained silent and waited for the old lady's enthusiastic explanation.
"Our place was originally in the middle of nowhere, with no village or shop nearby. It was said that we hadn't seen a single person for days. But a while ago, Chiwei was at war, and they conquered the small country next door called Xiushui. Or rather, it wasn't really a war at all. It was said that the general of Chiwei, under the order of the emperor, led tens of thousands of troops around the city of Xiushui, circled around a few times, called in a messenger, and after some conversation, Xiushui was incorporated into Chiwei's territory."
The old lady was busy pouring tea for the guests while she said loudly,
"This Xiushui is no longer Xiushui Country, but Chiwei's Xiushui City. Since it's our own city, of course the official roads and post stations need to be rebuilt. The court officials have located the post station at the foot of Taixu Mountain and are also talking about building a town nearby. There are already some small markets here, and once more houses are built, it will be even more lively!"
Xia Fuyi listened to her in a daze and almost got her mouth burned by the scalding tea.
After drinking half a bowl of tea in a daze, she asked again,
"Emperor, has the court already begun?"
"Hey girl, are you coming down from the mountain?"
The old lady smiled and said,
"He started attending court half a month ago. He said that his old illness had flared up completely due to the serious injuries he suffered on the battlefield. He was completely cured by the imperial physician. Anyway, Chiwei has been thriving recently, and everyone's life has been much better."
"You bitch can even use idioms!"
The boss laughed heartily and teased the boss's wife. The guests who came to drink tea all burst into laughter. The boss's wife pretended to pour the hot tea on the boss.
The teahouse was bustling with activity. Just one look at it in the heavy snow made you feel warm all over.
Xia Fuyi was in such a lively atmosphere at the moment, but her heart was pounding.
Her face remained expressionless as she quietly drank the remaining half bowl of tea, then reached out and gripped the sword tightly.
After sitting quietly with her eyes downcast for a long time, her grip on the sword became tighter and tighter, and finally she raised her eyes and stood up as if she had made up her mind.
I want to go see him.
As she thought this, she pursed her lips and walked out expressionlessly.
Just take a look and come back after making sure he's okay.
He wouldn't know anyway.
Such thoughts made her heart beat faster and faster. Just as she was about to quicken her pace and move away from the tea stall, a hand suddenly stopped her.
The proprietress blinked her eyes.
"Girl, you haven't paid yet."
The hostess's warm and hospitable smile suddenly disappeared and turned into a fierce look.
"A young girl like you, do you really want to drink Bawang tea?"
Xia Fuyi: ...
The world's best female knight was scolded so much that she was drooping her head. She was not good at speaking and tried to explain herself several times, but she failed to convince the proprietress that she was not a bully. In the end, she had no choice but to take out a small gold bead from her purse.
"I don't have any copper coins, I only have this."
She explained dryly with an expressionless face.
Lady Boss: ...
ยท
In the end, Lady Xia was unable to give away the golden bead. According to the proprietress, it was because she could not afford to pay for it and would feel guilty if she accepted it.
"As long as you're not a scoundrel who comes here to drink Bawang tea, it's no big deal to give you a bowl."
The proprietress waved at her, looking more like a gangster than she was.
Xia Fuyi thanked him in her heart, turned around and walked out of the tea stall.
