Chapter 198: Make up for Tanabata
Li Haitang rested her chin, did not express her opinion, and decided not to tell Zhang Ruyi the cruel truth. She did see Lu Yuanqing carrying a purse, and wanted to ask him if he liked potatoes.
Round and irregular in shape, isn't it a potato?
"Your mosquito net... No, give me the pajamas. I'll modify it for you while I'm free."
Li Haitang remembered that there was a needle and thread in the carriage, she opened the small drawer, took it out, and embroidered a small flower on the two o'clock position on her chest, symmetrically.
"It's better if it's faintly visible."
After all, Li Haitang is someone who has been here before, so he can teach Zhang Ruyi a little bit of knowledge. It is good to read more brochures, and at least he can change a dozen or so personal positions.
Zhang Ruyi took it for granted. Anyway, she was married now, so she had no scruples. When she arrived in Licheng, she might find her cousin Xia Jixiang, and maybe she could get some stock.
When they arrived in Yong'an City, it was already dark, and the group stayed at the Daming Inn not far from the city, and took two upper rooms.
No one was seen during the meal, so Zhang Ruyi dragged Lu Yuanqing to act alone. After a lot of preparation, she led the way ahead, and the husband and wife came to a lawn.
On the top????, at intervals of a certain distance, a candle is lit, dotted with dots, and placed in the shape of a heart.
In the middle of the ???? candle, there is a tray containing a roast chicken.
Daqi pays attention to the environment, and will plant flowers and plants on the streets, especially Yong'an City, which has a more beautiful environment than Lucheng.
"Husband, we agreed to make up for Qixi Festival together. This is my gift to you. Are you surprised or not?"
Zhang??? Ruyi stared at the roast chicken in the middle and swallowed. This roast chicken was specially prepared by Lan Yi before she left the house.
"Miss, you have to worry!"
All of a sudden, Lu Yuanqing felt something burst out of his chest. He was so excited about poetry, and he was going to compose a poem and give it to Zhang Ruyi as a gift on Qixi Festival.
Time???? Time, freeze at this moment.
The wind was not strong, the flames of the candles sprang up, and there was a piece of paper rope tied with roast chicken and oil on the side. The grass was scorched by the fire and gave off a burnt smell.
"Someone set fire!"
The policemen patrolled the streets and found something was wrong, and immediately shouted, and the officials swarmed out from all directions.
Recently, women in Yong'an City have been missing inexplicably, and people are panicking the whole time. The magistrate can't find a good way, so he can only send people to patrol, and the whole city is under martial law.
Zhang Ruyi was shocked. In the next second, she stomped her feet, rushed to the center of the candle, picked up the roast chicken, and ran wildly with Lu Yuanqing in front, with a group of officials running hard behind her. The scene was full of joy.
At night, when the city's officials were patrolling, they encountered two suspicious characters, and of course they couldn't let them go.
Officials were divided into two groups, chasing and intercepting them.
The husband and wife had just arrived and were not familiar with the terrain. In desperation, they had no choice but to go in the direction of the inn.
On the quiet street, there was a clear sound of horseshoes. The officials of Daqi lit torches, seeing the direction in which the two escaped, their faces were solemn.
After thinking about it, the officials decided not to let go of a suspicious person, and surrounded the inn from front to back, closely monitoring every corner, trying to catch the turtle.
"There seems to be something wrong downstairs."
Li Haitang had just finished washing, her hair was still dripping, she looked down through the set up window, there were hundreds of officials downstairs, holding torches.
In the dark night, tongues of flames flickered, and the flames reflected the faces of the people, and everyone looked serious.
Zhang ??? Ruyi and Lu Yuanqing went upstairs panting. The couple wanted to cover their faces and sneak into the crack of the wall. This time they had a lot of fun.
"Hai Tang, what a bad luck, what do you think these people are doing with us!"
As soon as she entered the door, Zhang Ruyi spread her **** on the chair. Yes, the candle lit the lawn, and she would be responsible for extinguishing it. It would not cause a fire, but a group of people suddenly appeared, which scared her!
"Then why did you run?"
Li Haitang opened her mouth, she couldn't believe it, she thought she heard it wrong, "You are being chased by these officials, why?"
Zhang Ruyi admitted frankly that she caused the trouble and needed Li Haitang's help to be a witness, but she never mentioned what happened.
Originally, I wanted to have a good romance, but it turned out to be self-defeating. Zhang Ruyi couldn't describe his mood at the moment.
Shame, shame!
"???? I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding."
The officials and messengers were waiting to enter the inn to search. Before the incident became serious, Li Haitang planned to go downstairs with the wild man to inquire about the situation and explain the situation.
Zhang Ruyi and Lu Yuanqing lowered their heads, like children who made a mistake, especially Zhang Ruyi, who kept silent and lost a shoe, which showed her embarrassment just now.
Even so, the roast chicken in his hand was still held firmly.
Li?? Haitang had a guess, "Ruyi, you couldn't be hungry and dim-eyed to steal someone's roast chicken, right?"
"?? How is it possible? I put the roast chicken on the carriage early in the morning!"
Being framed for stealing roast chicken, how can this work? Zhang Ruyi was not short of money, and when her character was suspected, she immediately jumped up and down.
Li???? Haitang touched his chin suspiciously, and walked around the inner room with arms crossed, feeling that this possibility was very slim.
Downstairs, the officials were about to search the house. After Li Haitang asked, he realized that the two suspicious persons were suspected human traffickers.
"Miss, misunderstood, this is Lu Yin, we just arrived at Yong'an at night, the store owner can testify."
After all, it proved that this was an oolong, and the culprit, who never showed up, was eating roast chicken upstairs.
Li Haitang was tired, she was stimulated by Miss Zhang's scorching eyes looking at the roast chicken, so she had to invite the couple out.
Yong??? An is a good place, there is a canal leading to Daqi Kyoto.
According to the itinerary, the group stayed in Yong'an for one day, and then took the waterway. The journey on the water lasted about six days, and then turned back to the official road. They could reach their destination, Licheng, in a few hours.
Follow the passenger ship on the water, there is no shortage of food on the ship, but there is no way to satisfy everyone's tastes.
"??? I asked the shopkeeper that the passenger ship departs every two days, so we can only wait for the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Lingchuan is familiar with the surroundings. The official ship picks up people at the pier every two days before dawn. It is also the largest. There are special ships for suspicious checked luggage and carriages. If you miss it, there are private merchant ships. Personally, earn some extra money.
"?? Don't we take a private car?"
Yong'an has nothing special, it's just a transit hub, it's better to hurry to Licheng, they can come back from Licheng and stay in Yong'an for two or three days.
"Yes, yes."
While the two were talking, the door was open, waiting for the next guy to come in and deliver hot tea. The guy just heard the conversation and immediately said, "Whoever dares to take a private boat is not afraid of being murdered for money!"? On the water, it is different from the official way. If there is an accident in the official way, there is always a chance to escape, but in the water, if an accident happens, it can only be called the day and the earth will not work!
