Su Jianyue did not sleep well.
The bed was not comfortable at all and the environment was completely unfamiliar.
She could clearly hear the night watchman strike his stick every time he passed by.
until.
There were rustling sounds of footsteps outside.
The wooden bolt was pulled open and the old wooden door creaked.
The sounds of hawkers walking through the streets.
Downstairs, the waiter was shouting.
This ancient world ushered in a new day in a way that Su Jianyue had never seen before.
Su Jianyue made the hard bed again.
...
...
The light penetrates the yellowed window paper, filters out the sun's brilliance, and falls into the dim room.
Su Jianyue took a look at her own clothes and hair, which were out of place in this world.
She took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
Downstairs, the waiter was deftly placing the tables, chairs and benches one by one.
A woman, wearing a gray linen shirt, brought in a basin of water in a wooden basin and carefully wiped each of the arranged tables, chairs and benches until they were shiny.
On the tall wooden counter, a slightly fat middle-aged man was fiddling with an abacus, calculating whether the vegetable farmers' vegetable money this morning was correct.
Everyone has their own job.
Su Jianyue hid at the stairs.
I didn't dare go downstairs.
She is penniless.
She had stayed in a guest house for a night in vain. What should she do if the guest asked her for money later?
Su Jianyue searched herself from head to toe.
Nothing but a bottle of pepper spray.
Su Jianyue bent down again and looked down from the stairs on the second floor, wanting to wait for a time when no one noticed her and then quietly go out.
But she didn't notice that behind her, there was also a round head popping out.
Suddenly, a deliberately suppressed voice sounded in her ears.
"Are you looking at some handsome young man?"
The sudden sound startled Su Jianyue.
Ancient stairs were much narrower than modern ones.
Because it is made of wood, the stairs make a creaking sound with every step.
Su Jianyue just slipped like that.
I fell all the way from the top flight of stairs on the second floor to the bottom flight of stairs on the first floor.
The butt is bruised.
Su Jianyue was in so much pain that tears came to her eyes.
She touched her butt and crawled on the ground for a long time but couldn't recover!
"Ouch, ouch, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb the girl and caused her to fall like this. I'm so sorry, so sorry!"
The man was wearing a turquoise robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, and hurried downstairs.
But in an instant, Su Jianyue, who originally wanted to sneak out of the guest house without being noticed, became the focus of the store.
"Girl, how are you? Do you want a doctor to see you?"
The man in blue asked with concern.
There are differences between men and women. He stood aside, at a loss, and dared not act rashly.
Su Jianyue looked at him angrily with tearful eyes.
The man just felt that his spring... had come!
"How about you try falling down from above?"
If it had been a brick staircase, her coccyx would have been fractured.
The man was criticized, but he didn't get angry. His stunned eyes suddenly lit up with a new kind of brilliance.
He bent his waist and bowed repeatedly to Su Jianyue.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I'll take you to see a doctor right now. I'll cover all the medical expenses. I hope you'll be magnanimous and forgive me!"
Su Jianyue sighed for a long time and didn't want to pay attention to him.
The woman who was wiping the table dropped the rag in her hand, said "guai guai long di dong" repeatedly, took three or two steps forward, and gave Su Jianyue a hand.
Helped Su Jianyue up from the ground.
"Thank you, auntie!"
No matter where you are, you will always be more likable if you are sweet-spoken, sensible and polite.
"Oh, such a beautiful girl, are you hurt?"
The tears in Su Jianyue's eyes haven't dried yet.
She managed to stand firm, and then said to the man who was bowing, "You don't need to go to the clinic. Just remember, don't hide behind others to scare them. This time you met me, who is easy to talk to. If you meet someone who is not easy to talk to, you will probably lose a layer of skin today."
What Su Jianyue said makes sense.
The waiter also said, "That's true. In the past, when the world was in trouble, there were often people waiting on the street to extort money from the wealthy families who drove horse-drawn carriages."
The fat shopkeeper frowned and said something out of the blue.
"Miss, when did you check into our hotel?"
"Huh?"
The waiter suddenly realized.
"Yes, when did you come? Which room did you stay in at night? Why didn't I know?"
Su Jianyue: “…”
Let the storm come even harder!
The woman also said: "Also, young lady, your clothes and hair..."
She asked hesitantly, "You are not from Tianyu, right?"
"The drought in the northern border is about to end. Are you a spy sent by the enemy country to deliver news to you and other countries?"
There was a thousand waves at once.
Passersby outside also came in to watch the fun.
These days, people love to watch something exciting.
As soon as I heard the words "enemy country's spy".
Su Jianyue waved her hands repeatedly and shook her head like a rattle.
"No... no no, I'm not a spy!"
"If you are not a spy, then why are you dressed differently from the rest of us?"
"This dress is..."
Su Jianyue hasn't thought of the words yet.
The young man said, "This girl is originally from the south of the Yangtze River, and she came to the north to look for her relatives."
Su Jianyue exclaimed, “Ah?”
He turned around and exclaimed "Ah!" again.
"That's right. I came to the north from the south to look for my relatives. I entered this place by mistake and all my belongings were stolen. I had no choice but to sneak into the guest house and stay for the night. I really didn't mean to do that, and I'm not a spy, really!"
The man in blue raised the corners of his lips inaudibly.
This girl is beautiful and smart.
If he brings this girl home, his mother should... be satisfied, right?
"I don't think this girl is a spy!"
There were discussions among the crowd.
"How could such a beautiful spy end up in such a remote place like ours, seduced by those high-ranking officials and seduced to Your Majesty?"
"Aunt Zhao, how come you know this so clearly?"
"Isn't that how they sing on the stage?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.
"Isn't Aunt Zhao eavesdropping on the opera troupe every day?"
The focus of the crowd is becoming increasingly biased.
The fat shopkeeper's face suddenly darkened.
"Your things were all stolen? Do you have any money to stay at the hotel?"
Su Jianyue shook her head.
“No…no!”
"Do you have a guide?"
“Neither…nor!”
"So, did you find your relatives?"
Silence is Cambridge this morning.
"In that case, you can stay in the store and work until you pay off the rent!"
The boss’s request...is very reasonable.
only……
"Can I owe you money first and pay you back after I find my relatives?"
"Oh!"
The fat shopkeeper's belly trembled.
"Girl, you are beautiful, but you think even more beautifully?"
Huh?
Su Jianyue: “…”
These words...she couldn't even refute them!
"It was my fault that I caused the girl to fall down the stairs. I will settle the money the girl owes me. Shopkeeper, let's settle the account!"
Finally, Su Jianyue set his sights on the man.
The man subconsciously straightened his back, like a saint saving a goddess.
Su Jianyue smiled lightly.
The beautiful lips are outlined with an arc.
There were ripples of light in eyes as bright as clear spring water.
The man took out his money and paid without saying a word.
He stuffed the snow-white silver ingot heavily into the fat shopkeeper's hand and said loudly, "No need for change."
Then he made a gesture of invitation to Su Jianyue.
Su Jianyue followed him and walked out of the guest house under the astonished eyes of everyone.
It is a little-known place, and this inn has become the best resting place in the entire town.
On the busy streets.
Su Jianyue's strange outfit attracted the attention of passers-by.
The man in green was particularly talkative. Even in such a cold day, he never let go of his folding fan. Su Jianyue felt very cold just by looking at him.
"Miss, it's so early in the morning, I'm afraid you haven't had breakfast yet?"
He was of elegant appearance. Although the clothes he wore did not look luxurious, anyone with a discerning eye could tell from his temperament that he came from a well-off family.
"My surname is Tao, my given name is Zhou, and my courtesy name is Huashu. I am twenty-three this year, and I am from Taojialing, Jinzhou. I am still single. I am traveling to the northern border this time, hoping to see the scenery there. Unexpectedly, I encountered a severe drought first, and then a plague. I was about to return home when I happened to meet you, girl."
Once he opened his mouth, he would chatter non-stop.
Before Su Jianyue could say a word, he told her all his secrets like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
"Meeting is fate. I feel like we have known each other for a long time. May I ask where you are going? How about we travel together?"
Su Jianyue looked left and right and confirmed that the man in front of him should not have any accomplices and did not look like someone who would traffic in decent women.
She remained wary.
"Sir, aren't you going home? I'm not going to Jinzhou. You and I are going in different directions. Breakfast..."
Although Su Jianyue was hungry, it was normal for a celebrity to have an irregular schedule and alternately eat one meal and go hungry the next.
It doesn't matter to her whether she eats or not.
"That's all! You just paid for my room, I am very grateful. Let's part ways from now on. The road ahead is long and we will meet again if we are lucky enough!"
Su Jianyue imitated the tone of the ancients, clasped his hands towards Taozhou, turned around and left.
"But……"
Tao Zhou's voice came from behind her.
"But the city gate is over there!"
Su Jianyue: “!!!”
"I know, I just want to see the local customs and practices here."
Su Jianyue talked nonsense in a serious manner.
Then he turned around and walked towards the city gate.
Tao Zhou followed her slowly.
Su Jianyue couldn't help but quicken her pace.
When she was about to leave the city gate, two long swords blocked her way.
"Where's the pass?"
Su Jianyue: "..."
"Household registration documents?"
Su Jianyue: “!!!”
Oh boy, I miscalculated!
