Chapter 773 When you go out, your identity is given by yourself
"The Ministry of Revenue did not allocate the money? I will report this matter when I return to the capital!" Qin Yandong said.
Cao Yi was overjoyed and said, "Thank you very much, sir! Please take a seat first. I will ask the waiter to fetch you some water."
"Don't reveal our identities, just say we are chivalrous knights!"
Cao Yi quickly agreed, turned around and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Li Dongsheng leaned close to Jiang Youzhen's ear and whispered, "Do you think there's a problem?"
Jiang Youzhen shook his head, "Let's go in and rest first!"
As she spoke, she looked behind her and said to Qingyan, "Go and keep an eye on the kitchen. Our meals must be clean."
Qingyan immediately understood and went ahead.
Everyone walked towards the lobby, and after they pushed open the door, the room fell silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the group of people at the door.
Jiang Youzhen stood behind the crowd and realized that there were already four tables of people sitting inside. No wonder it was so lively.
Looking over these people, I saw that there was one person at one table who was well-dressed, while the other three were not as well-dressed, more like merchants and their entourage.
The merchant had fair skin, a fat head and big ears, and wore several gold rings on his fingers, looking very wealthy.
Looking at his followers, two of them were dressed in tight clothes with swords hanging around their waists. They should be the guards of the caravan, or perhaps the escorts.
The other man was slightly younger, and his features resembled the merchant, like father and son. However, his appearance was decent, indicating that the merchant still had some appearance when he was young.
The people at the other two tables were dressed like servants in a caravan, and when they pushed open the door just now, they were still drinking with people at other tables. As for the last table, it caught Jiang Youzhen's attention.
There were three of them, all with fierce eyes. Even though they were wearing servants' clothes, one could still see the murderous aura on them.
Jiang Youzhen and the others were looking at this group of people, and this group of people were also looking at Jiang Youzhen and the others.
The group of people were dressed very simply, with bamboo hats on their heads, so their faces could not be seen clearly. However, they looked extraordinary, and several of the guards were equipped with long swords, which made it clear that they were not easy to mess with.
For a moment, everyone was shocked by their momentum and the hall fell silent.
"Hey? Waiter, another guest is here!" The fat and big-eared merchant had a smile on his face and looked very hospitable.
Jiang Youzhen and his group entered the lobby and then sat down at two tables one after another.
When Fang Zhongyi saw that the three people next to him didn't make any movement, he thought to himself that they were all big shots, so he should take action!
He bowed to the merchant in response.
The merchant saw that Fang Zhongyi seemed easy to talk to, so he asked, "Where are you from, brother? Where are you going? You look righteous, so you must be a martial artist."
As he spoke, he glanced at the three people sitting upright at another table and found that they seemed to be beginning to look tense. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"I came from Zhijin Prefecture and was about to go to Pingjiang Prefecture. I wonder where you are coming from and where you are going?" Fang Zhongyi put down his sword, looking like a heroic man.
"I'm going there with you. The canal is frozen, so we can only go by land. I'm from the Lin family caravan, and I'm going to Pingjiang Prefecture as well. What a fate!"
The merchant pointed to two tables nearby and said, "These are all from my caravan. The three brothers at the other table are also businessmen, heading to the capital. We just met today."
"What a coincidence? It's fate!" Fang Zhongyi has always been a hero throughout his travels. Although he is not talkative, he is quite sociable.
In just a few words, he became familiar with the merchant, and soon they became like brothers, talking about all kinds of things under the sun.
"Dear guests, please wash your hands first and warm them up!" The waiter came in quickly and brought a copper basin.
Qing Lang brought another basin of hot water. His master was definitely not used to sharing a basin of water with others.
After Jiang Youzhen washed her face, she sat back at the table. At this time, everyone's eyes were on her. If you don't look at her appearance, just look at her temperament, she is a noble person.
"Brother Yang, who is this? I see he has an extraordinary appearance, is he also a gangster?"
Those hands were so delicate and tender, they didn't look like those of a gangster, but more like those of a pampered young master from an aristocratic family.
"This is my brother-in-law. He has been weak since childhood and cannot stand the wind. He is going to Pingjiang Prefecture with me to do some business."
Fang Zhongyi used the alias Yang Xiong, which was a very casual name.
It would be really cheap, brother-in-law? It is really Sima Zhao's intention that is known to everyone! When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.
Jiang Youzhen curled the corners of his lips slightly. If you like my Liu Ya, just say it directly. But she always hesitates and hesitates every time.
"Oh! He looks like a scholar, a very handsome man." The businessman smiled meaningfully.
Li Dongsheng and Qin Yandong looked at him at the same time, their faces under the bamboo hats full of vigilance.
"Brother Lin has a good eye! He is a scholar who has studied for many years, but his body is not strong enough. His wife couldn't bear to see him go to hell, so she let him do some business so that he can get married in the future."
While they were talking and waiting, the food was soon served.
Qingyan ordered three meat dishes, including braised pork ribs, braised pork, and lamb, but there were only two vegetarian dishes, one of which was Chinese cabbage and the other was stir-fried radish. The staple food was white flour buns, which were a bit dry.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry! It's inconvenient to buy here. It's just that the weather is cold. What we bought before is still edible, but not very fresh. Please forgive me!" The waiter said with a bow.
"It's okay! When you're away from home, hot food is enough, and the chef's cooking skills are pretty good." Mr. Lin immediately said he didn't care.
Right from the start, Li Dongsheng used a silver needle to test for poison. After confirming that it was non-toxic, everyone started to eat.
Jiang Youzhen picked up the lamb and took two bites, then ate a big white steamed bun and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Please enjoy your meal. I am a little tired and want to go to the side room to rest."
This was the first time Jiang Youzhen spoke, her voice was a little hoarse and low. She stood up as she spoke, and Qinglang and Qingyan followed immediately.
"You go first, waiter, and arrange a room for them!"
Qin Yandong has been eating a lot, with noodles and dumpling soup every day. Even though he has meat in the middle of the day, he has never had a good meal.
Everyone's eyes followed Jiang Youzhen's figure as he disappeared around the corner upstairs. Fang Zhongyi immediately said, "My brother-in-law has this problem. He has to bring a servant with him when he goes out, and he can't get used to the food outside."
"He's just spoiled by his sister." Fang Zhongyi curled his lips, seemingly expressing his dissatisfaction with his brother-in-law.
The rooms in the post station are definitely simple, but it is better to live in than to sleep in a carriage.
Jiang Youzhen asked Qingyan to prepare hot water while she washed up and closed the room.
Just now, in order to prevent it from being poisonous, Jiang Youzhen did not eat the food on the table, but put it all into the storage space.
After she washed up, she took out some food from the space. Anyway, she had stored a lot of food in it for convenience.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep, with only one room still lit with a candle.
"I told you not to release it. See? They are very cautious!"
