Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3459

Chen'er left for Hechuan County early the next morning, and when he left, he insisted on keeping all four hidden guards to protect Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing raised her arm, clenched her fist, and deliberately made a gesture of boxing champion.

"Chen'er, look here," she patted her shoulder and arm,
"Look at your old lady, who can stand on a fist and run a horse on her shoulders. With this body, this strength, and this skill, who would dare to bully you? Who would dare!"

Although he understood that the old lady was doing this to reassure himself, the funny posture and exaggerated expression of the old lady made Chen'er laugh.

Xiaoyu, who was carrying a bundle in his hand, also covered his mouth, and couldn't help laughing.

"Take all the hidden guards with you. If you don't take them with you, Mother will go with you, otherwise don't worry!"

Yang Ruoqing resumed her normal standing posture, took the bundle roll from Xiaoyu and put it on Chen'er's body.

It's like a primary school student carrying a shoulder bag to study.

Then she gently adjusted the neckline of Chen'er's dress, "Listen to mother, bring everyone with you, if there is any situation, there will be someone for you to change,"

"This restaurant is the most upscale in Jianye City, especially the rooms of the Tianzi Hotel are protected by the guards of the restaurant,"

"Mother lives here, I don't know how good it is, be obedient!"

In the end, Chen'er was unable to persuade Yang Ruoqing, so she could only bid farewell to her and leave in a hurry.

But before he left, he turned a corner and found the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

Be sure to send additional manpower to protect the guest rooms of this day.

……

Since Chen'er went to Hechuan County to control the water and rectify those unhealthy trends, Yang Ruoqing has not been idle in the restaurant.

Every day after breakfast, Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu disguised themselves as princes and attendants, went to various teahouses in the city to drink tea, and heard about Mr. Shu's storytelling.

Teahouses, restaurants, and brothels are the largest intelligence networks in ancient times when technology and information were underdeveloped.

News from east, west, north and south are exchanged and summarized in these places,
People from all over the world also stop here, exchange different information with each other, and then take this information to go to other places...

Just like the entire information network of Daqi, like a huge spider web woven by a spider, the center point is the imperial city of the capital.

Then these restaurants and teahouses in Jianye are just a small, tiny node in this huge spider web.

Although it is small, it is also a connecting line.

Chen'er went to Hechuan County, and it has been five days in a blink of an eye, and there has been no news of him coming back.

On this day, the weather finally cleared up. Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoyu, who were both dressed in men's clothes, came to the teahouse again and sat at the table closest to the storyteller.

Today I ordered a pot of high-quality scented tea, and I also ordered several exquisite refreshments, all of which are the characteristics of Jianye.

Egg pot stickers, cold rice noodles, horseshoe cake, crab roe buns, all served together.

There were not many people in the teahouse at first, but after breakfast they gradually increased.

Jianye used to be the capital city, and it can be regarded as a big city with a large number of famous names. There are many wealthy people in the city.

These rich and noble families don't have to go out to have breakfast so early in the morning, and they usually have servants at home to take care of them.

When I came to the teahouse, it was in the morning, leisurely carrying the bird cage, and came in groups to drink tea, listen to talk and gossip.

So the number of people in the teahouse gradually increased. When the number of people reached a certain amount, the storyteller also appeared on the stage.

The storyteller slapped the gavel in his hand, and the loud voice resounded throughout the hall of the teahouse.

"Guys, let's talk about Romance of the Three Kingdoms last round, Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, this round, let's continue..."

Before the storyteller finished speaking, he was interrupted by a guest at a table next to him.

"Sir, let the Romance of the Three Kingdoms be released first, and we'll talk about it another day. We came to the teahouse today and want to hear something else!" the guest said loudly.

The storyteller asked with a smile: "Then what would the judge want to hear?"

The person who spoke earlier threw a silver coin at Mr. Storyteller, "I'm tired of listening to opera booklets, so I can tell some witty jokes or folk tales to change my appetite."

The storyteller neatly put away the ingot of silver, thought for a while, and his eyes lit up.

"Speaking of folk rumors, I have a novelty here. It's about the water control of Hechuan County. It's very legendary. Why don't you come and have fun with the officials?" he asked.

"Flood control? What's there to say about water control? Isn't it just that the government leads people to build dams and so on, and don't listen to it." The judge who threw the money earlier waved his hand without hesitation.

At the table here, Xiaoyu was a little dissatisfied, and said to Yang Ruoqing in a low voice: "This person looks like a rich man, he doesn't care about people's livelihood and the current situation at all, if he has two bad money, he will show off!"

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips, and threw two ingots of silver in front of the storyteller, "Say, sir, I like to listen to those who control water."

Seeing the double price, the reader's eyes lit up, and he was about to reach for it when the one who threw money earlier slapped the table and stood up.

"Ha, is there anyone who dares to compete with me for money? I'll let you pretend that you can't come down here!"

He raised his hand and clapped a few times, "Papa papa!"

Several of his attendants took out a tray covered with a red cloth.

The entourage put the tray and the red cloth in front of the storyteller, and the red cloth was lifted suddenly, and a tray full of silver ingots was neatly stacked inside.

Each silver ingot has five taels by visual inspection, and this is a full tray, at least five or sixty taels!
Not to mention that Mr. Storyteller was shocked and overwhelmed, the customers at other tables were also shocked.

A whisper came into Yang Ruoqing's ears.

"Isn't this Shen Qiancai, Boss Shen, from Jianye City? I heard that a while ago in Baihualou, he fought with others for a singer from the Western Regions, and he spent a lot of money to buy the first night right of that singer,"

"Now, just to listen to books, he started spending money like water again. He really is a rich man with a lot of money!"

Another customer echoed: "If you have money, you will be willful. If you don't have money, you can only accept your fate. Fortunately, we don't want to be in the limelight, and we don't want to compete with Shen Qiancai..."

Here, Yang Ruoqing listened to these remarks, and the corners of her lips curled up in a contemptuous arc.

She looked over to Shen Qiancai, and it happened that Shen Qiancai was also looking this way, her eyes and face full of arrogance.

"Don't you want to be richer than Master Shen and me? Then come on, Master Shen, I've never been cowardly in this area!" Shen Qiancai raised her voice.

Yang Ruoqing smiled faintly, got up and walked towards Shen Qiancai.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xiaoyu quickly got up and took Yang Ruoqing's hand.

He lowered his voice and said, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Yang Ruoqing gave Xiaoyu a reassuring look, "Just sit down, don't come over."

Then, she went straight to Shen Qiancai's table.

Shen Qiancai is not tall, probably growing sideways, and should be in his early twenties, but his complexion is very bad.
