Chapter 278 You are quite clever
Laifu Inn is the largest inn in Fucheng. In addition to everyone from Yunde Academy, there are also students from other academies.

Mrs. Xu’s natal family is here. After entering the city, she went back to her natal family with Dean Xu.

Tao Zhen lived in a room by herself. After cleaning up, she told Mr. Lin that she wanted to go out for a walk. Mr. Lin knew that she had big ideas, so he only told her to be careful.

When Tao Zhen went out, he saw Wang San waiting at the door. Wang San and the others lived in a small inn on the next street. This inn was mostly filled with resting guests. The environment was not comparable to that of Laifu, but it was more lively. .

Lin Shu and Wang San found a room on the ground floor, with the back yard of the inn behind them. They could see the carriage from their room, and they felt relieved.

Tao Zhen was funny: "Who wants to steal some food?"

Lin Shu said seriously: "Ours is not ordinary food."

Tao Zhen said: "Let's give it a try first. If it works, we can rent a yard in Fucheng for you to deliver the goods and rest there."

Wang San was very excited and sighed: "The city is so big and prosperous."

Lin Shu said: "The liveliness is over there on Yunxiu Street..."

Wang San smiled and said, "Have you been here before?"

Lin Shu had been here before to help Pei Zhan deliver a letter to the Jiang family, who lived on Yunxiu Street.

Unexpectedly, I spilled the beans in a moment of joy.

Lin Shu laughed and said, "I came from the academy before."

Wang San and Tao Zhen didn't think much about it.

"Let's walk around the street now." Tao Zhen said.

Wang San said: "You and Lin Shu go, I'm watching the goods at Jiangliang Inn!"

Tao Zhen nodded.

The two of them left the inn. It was already afternoon because they had a long journey, but there were not many people on the street.

Fucheng is indeed big and prosperous, worthy of several Ningzhous. Tao Zhen and Lin Shu walked around the two bustling streets. Lin Shu suffered from an occupational disease and went in to sell every store he entered. The waiter of Fucheng Restaurant Lin Shu was even more arrogant than Ningzhou and looked down upon these few pennies. Lin Shu hit the wall several times.

But now he has developed a thick skin. If this one doesn't work, he will go to the next one.

Tao Zhen said: "Why don't you go to the teahouse and try it?"

Lin Shu said: "Don't all teahouses drink tea?"

Tao Zhen said: "No, there are storytellers in the teahouse."

There are also storytellers in Ningzhou teahouses, but not many people listen to them. Lin Shu sells well in restaurants, but he has never been to teahouses.

But he is not in a hurry, since he has plenty of time anyway. He will not let go of any of the restaurants, teahouses, theaters and brothels. The city is so big, there must be many rich people.When he saw well-dressed people on the street, they seemed to be looking at fat sheep.

Tao Zhen said: "Let's split up."

There was no problem in handing the beef jerky to Lin Shu. Tao Zhen wanted to look around to see if there were any other opportunities.

No matter how big the city is, it cannot be bigger than the cities of later generations. Tao Zhen didn't pay much attention to it. She walked around and occasionally walked around the small stalls on the street, and she did see a lot of good things.

Tired from walking, Tao Zhen asked for a pot of tea on the street. Suddenly someone shouted: "Jiang Xiaobawang is here."

The vendors on the street packed up their things and ran away. Tao Zhen quickly stepped aside and hid in a corner. He saw several people coming out of the street. If he met the vendors who didn't run away, he would kick them or mention them. Punch someone on their sleeve.

This is a gangster encounter...

Those people stopped and walked all the way down, and the vendors they caught were either robbed of their money or beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.

Tao Zhen frowned.

Seeing that the gangsters were about to come to their side, Tao Zhen didn't want to cause trouble, so she took a few steps back and stepped on someone's foot. The person was so painful that he gasped, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing. .

"Sorry." Tao Zhen whispered.

The man didn't say much and ran deeper into the alley. Tao Zhen also followed, but for some reason he was discovered by the group of people and chased him this way. "Run." The man said, and Tao Zhen ran after him.

There are many streets and alleys in Fucheng. Tao Zhen ran after him for a long time before he stopped. He was too tired to move. That person was not much better than her.

The two strangers were completely baffled. After taking a breath, the man said, "I said you didn't bring anything with you. Why are you running away?"

Tao Zhen thought for a while and said seriously: "I'm afraid that gangsters will covet my beauty and tease me."

The man wanted to laugh, but when he looked up and saw Tao Zhen's face, he nodded: "...It is indeed possible."

Beauty is a double-edged sword. This face brings her benefits but also troubles. When Tao Zhen encounters gangsters, she thinks that they will molest good women.

She didn't want to get into trouble when she first arrived. If anything happened in Fucheng, she wouldn't be able to solve it, so she would avoid it if she could.

The man she was talking to didn't look too old, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was carrying a big bag. Tao Zhen had just seen him. He was selling cheap cotton. He originally planned to go over and have a look later, but he didn't. Thinking of encountering this kind of thing.

The two rested for a while, and the man stood up: "I'm leaving."

Tao Zhen said: "Wait!"

The man looked back at her.

Tao Zhen said, "I just saw you selling cloth?"

The man nodded and looked at Tao Zhen: "Do you want to buy it?"

Tao Zhen nodded.

"This is not a place to talk, come with me."

The two people walked out of the alley together and found a secluded place. The man opened the package. Tao Zhen looked at it and saw that it was all cotton and of good quality.

"Is that all? How do you sell it?"

Tao Zhen asked.

The man agreed on a price, and Tao Zhen decided that it was not expensive.

“Can it be cheaper if I order more?”

"How much do you want?"

Tao Zhen smiled and said, "How many do I have?"

No matter how Zhuo Jing looked at Tao Zhen, she didn't look like a big customer who could afford a lot of cloth, but her tone was so sure that Zhuo Jing believed her.

Tao Zhen smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I am also from the lower state. My cousin's family has opened a cloth shop. Winter is about to come. Many people are buying clothes. My cousin and I were thinking Come to Fucheng to see if there is any good cloth, and if there is anything suitable, we will buy it."

Zhuo Jing believed a little more, let down her guard, and became much kinder: "We have more than a dozen pieces of this cloth, but there are others. If you want it sincerely, I will take you to see it."

Tao Zhen nodded.

While walking on the road, Zhuo Jing asked: "How can you, a girl, be so confident about coming with me?"

Tao Zhen said: "As a girl, don't you feel free to take me away?"

Zhuo Jing was stunned.

Tao Zhen said: "This woman is pretending to be a man. I've done it before, but it's of no use. In fact, you can tell at a glance. If you can't tell, just look at her a few more times."

Zhuo Jing “…”

Seeing her stunned, Tao Zhen said: "I have just been to this street. Not far away is the Yamen, and in front is the main street. If you want to do something bad, you won't take me here."

Zhuo Jing: "You...you are quite clever."
