The destination of the merchant ship this time was Yuzhou. After Xu Miaoyin and the two entered Yuzhou City, they planned to rest here for one night and then go to the carriage shop the next day.

The two rested all night and went to the carriage and horse shop early the next morning. After some inquiries, they found out that if they wanted to go to Jianmen Pass, the carriage would have to go around Chengdu Prefecture. It would save much time if they rode horses. There was an official road just a few hills away. After some discussion, the two decided to take a detour from Chengdu. After all, neither of them knew how to ride a horse!

After agreeing on the rent and the driver, the two went to buy some dry food and items for the road, and then left Yuzhou towards Chengdu.

The difficulty of the road to Shu is more than just talk. Although the two of them were riding in a carriage, the road was bumpy and bumpy. When they arrived at the resting place at night, they both breathed a sigh of relief and could finally lie down and have a good rest.

Although the bed in the inn was a hard bed, it allowed the tired two people to relax. According to Qi Jiaojiao, the bones that were about to fall apart could finally be reset.

Although Xu Miaoyin was also very tired, she still had to offer sacrifices to the temple of the five internal organs, so she turned around and went out of the house to see what was available in the kitchen of the inn.

There are usually few people coming to this inn, and the kitchen does not prepare much food. Even if it does, it is only some food that is easy to store, so all Xu Miaoyin can bring back is a few bacon buns and some millet porridge for the groom. After taking some, Xu Miaoyin took the rest back to the room. As soon as she walked out of the east courtyard where the groom was, she heard the sound of a horse neighing at the door of the post station. The driver of the post station also came out of the house in a hurry, almost He bumped into Xu Miaoyin.

Chafu apologized to Xu Miaoyin repeatedly, and Xu Miaoyin waved her hands indifferently. Anyway, the food box in her hand was fine, so she left Chafu to go about his business.

Xu Miaoyin returned to the house they shared and saw that Qi Jiaojiao had fallen asleep on the wooden bed, so she walked over to wake her up to eat.

Qi Jiaojiao stood up sleepily. Before she even opened her eyes, her nose smelled the aroma of steamed buns. Her eyes immediately widened. She was not sleepy anymore. She immediately came to the table and sat down, waiting for Xu Miaoyin to serve them. Porridge, start eating immediately.

Xu Miaoyin put the millet porridge in front of her and saw her thanking her and starting to eat. While eating, she said in a huff, "Well, this is the taste. My favorite is Sichuan bacon."

Xu Miaoyin smiled slightly and said: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"After eating steamed buns all day, I feel like my mouth is almost tasteless. Sister, you should eat it quickly, it's delicious!" Qi Jiaojiao saw that Xu Miaoyin was just drinking porridge, so she put a bun for her.

Xu Miaoyin picked up the buns and ate them in small bites, thinking that the buns made from bacon had a unique flavor. It seemed that some pickled sauerkraut was added, which was appetizing and filling. It was indeed delicious.

The two of them were eating happily when there was a knock on the door. The two of them looked at each other. It was already dark, so why would anyone knock on the door?They don't know anyone here. They are probably the busboys at the inn. They don't know what's going on?

Xu Miaoyin gave Qi Jiaojiao a comforting look, then stood up and opened the door. Sure enough, she saw it was the chauffeur from the inn, but the chaplain had an apologetic smile on his face and said, "Madam, I'm really sorry, you have to move to the east." We’ve gone to the courtyard, and someone has booked the west courtyard.”

Qi Jiaojiao in the house became unhappy when she heard this. She walked to the door and said, "Why didn't you make it clear when we first came here? It's impossible for us to move now!"

Chafu also didn't expect that Qi Jiaojiao in front of him looked so gentle and gentle, but he didn't expect that he had a bad temper. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He turned his head to look at the door of the courtyard, and then turned his head again, wanting to talk to Xu Miaoyin again. We discussed and discussed, after all, the people who are going to live in the west courtyard now cannot be offended. This is also for the sake of the couple!
Just as Chafu was about to speak, he heard Xu Miaoyin say: "Okay, let us pack up and move over."

When Qi Jiaojiao heard this, she was about to say something when Xu Miaoyin pulled her sleeves, and she could only turn around and go back to the house angrily.

Seeing that Xu Miaoyin was a reasonable person and spoke softly and politely, Chafu felt relieved and agreed to give them time to clean up.

Xu Miaoyin waited for the chauffeur to leave, closed the door and turned around. Seeing that Qi Jiaojiao was a little sullen, she cleaned up and said, "Don't be sulky. I heard horses neighing when I just came over. There were quite a few of them, I guess." There are many people coming, and even Chafu dare not offend people, so we’d better keep a low profile.”

It was not that Qi Jiaojiao didn't understand. After listening to Xu Miaoyin's advice, she could only help clean up the house. One person took the food box and the other took the luggage and left the house, heading towards the east courtyard.

As soon as they left the courtyard gate, they saw Chafu hurried over and said to the two of them: "They have moved to the east courtyard. You don't have to move." When Qi Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately became angry again. Aren't you just kidding?

"Everything is packed and they won't move it if they don't want to move it!"

Chafu is also an honest man. He doesn't defend himself and just lowers his head and smiles.

Xu Miaoyin saw that Qi Jiaojiao was really angry, so she apologized to the husband and took Qi Jiaojiao back to the house.

"What's wrong with you today? You're so angry."

Qi Jiaojiao was sitting on the bench, but she suddenly jumped up, with a flash of embarrassment on her face, and said to Xu Miaoyin: "Sister, I seem to be having my period."

Xu Miaoyin suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. It seemed that she had found the source of her anger.

"You!" Xu Miaoyin nodded her head, then went to rummage through the baggage. Fortunately, she was prepared, otherwise this girl would be embarrassed to death.

Qi Jiaojiao took the menstrual belt and sneaked out to the toilet. Xu Miaoyin only found her sneaky look funny.

Qi Jiaojiao came out of the toilet and walked a short distance before exhaling, "This smell is so suffocating to me!"

Feeling relaxed, she planned to go back to the west courtyard. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar figure flashing past the Moon Cave Gate. She let out a sigh and followed him, but when she walked past, there was no one there. She looked at the courtyard in front of her. He opened the door and looked around again. Could it be that she was hallucinating?
With a look of confusion on her face, Qi Jiaojiao returned to the west courtyard. As soon as she entered the door, she pulled Xu Miaoyin and said, "Sister, I seemed to have seen someone familiar just now, but I followed her and saw no one."

Xu Miaoyin asked: "Where did you see it?"

"Right at the entrance of the east courtyard."

Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "That's probably the coachman."

Qi Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "No, why does it look so much like Qin Zhan to me!"

Xu Miaoyin was stunned for a moment, then she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you read it correctly?"

When asked this question, Qi Jiaojiao became a little unsure. After all, she just saw it suddenly, so she said calmly: "Actually, I'm not sure."

However, Xu Miaoyin felt that since she had doubts, it would be better to be more careful, so she said to Qi Jiaojiao: "You stay here and don't run around. I'll ask the waiter here and I'll know."

Xu Miaoyin went out and met the waiter on the way to the front hall. After greeting him politely, he asked tentatively: "I don't know who lives in the east courtyard. Will we move out?" Won’t you offend them?”

Seeing Xu Miaoyin's uneasy expression, the chauffeur looked around and comforted in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry. Some time ago, there was a drought in Shu, which triggered a civil uprising. The emperor sent troops to suppress it, but he also sent people to provide relief. This is Mr. Liu who is in charge of supervising the matter, you don’t have to worry, Mr. Liu is a good official.”

When Xu Miaoyin heard this, she felt relieved. She thanked him with a smile and returned to the west courtyard.
