Chapter 233
Panzang
After Bai Yutang told Chen Yuan about Chai Yang, his sergeants came to report to him. The sergeants said that all the rooms in the inn had been checked and they were not even spared in the cellar, but no trace of the princess was found.
Bai Yutang looked at Yang Yi, Yang Yi shook his head, pointed his hand outside, indicating that he could leave. He immediately stood up and said goodbye to Chen Yuan: "Brother Chen, I will be busy for a few more days. I will come to you for a while before I can drink with you. Chasan is following Lord Bao in Xiangyang, but I believe he can come back when your villa opens."
Chen Yuan stood up and said, "That's the best. Then I'll let you experience my villa first and keep it to you for an unprecedented feeling."
Bai Yutang laughed: "Okay! That's all, I'll leave."
Listening to the footsteps of the imperial guards and constables gradually walked out of the inn, Zhao Yi quickly patted his chest with his hands in the room: "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death!"
Qianqiu couldn't believe this seemingly unavoidable search, so she hid: "Master, Miss, are you really leaving?"
Zhao Yi glared at her: "You go out and have a look!"
Qianqiu shook her head quickly: "I dare not go out."
Zhao Yi climbed up from the ground and opened the door latch: "Look at how brave you are so ugly!"
Qianqiu thought Zhao Yi opened the door to go out to see it, but who knew that after Zhao Yi opened the door, he turned around and said, "I ordered you to go out to see the situation, otherwise you will be given a slap!"
Qianqiu had no choice but to walk to the door slowly, first he poked out half of his body, and looked outside. The lobby of the inn was in a mess, but the imperial guards and constables were indeed gone! He shouted happily: "Miss, I'm really leaving!"
Only then did Zhao Yi dare to walk out of the room and see the situation by himself.
She stood at the door and happened to see Chen Yuan's gaze scanning upstairs. After seeing Zhao Yi, Chen Yuan smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Girl, I'm really embarrassed to wake you up early in the morning. I don't want to do this. If you haven't had enough sleep yet, you can continue to rest now. I will ask someone to call you during breakfast."
Zhao Yi pressed the uneasy just now and said calmly: "You're welcome, the shopkeeper, do you have to be polite. Is there anything we need to do today?"
Chen Yuan shook his head: "Not yet, girls can rest for a few days, and someone will ask you to teach you at least half a month later."
Zhao Yi frowned after hearing this. In the past half month, she had enough time to think of a way to escape, but she still needed to make up enough money to escape. It was all because of her carelessness. She didn't know how to bring money when she went out. If she had brought a ingot of gold ingots, she would have hired a carriage last night and now she had left Bianjing.
She only realized that money was so important when she hired a car. The coachman had already pulled them up and asked them where they were going. Zhao Yi thought the farther away, the better, and casually said that he wanted to go to Hangzhou, which scared the coachman.
After driving for so many years, I haven’t been away from the far door, but I only brought a small package like them to Hangzhou, and the coachman has pulled him there for the first time.
He stopped the carriage and asked, "Do you have any money, two girls?"
The final result was that they were rudely invited off the carriage by the coachman. At that moment, Zhao Yi realized that the copper plates that she usually pretended to be annoying were so useful.
To run away, you must prepare money first. Even if Zhao Yi has never left the palace, at least he has heard of the principle that he has to work if he makes money. So after hearing Chen Yuan's words, Zhao Yi frowned: "Shopkeeper, are you really not working here now?"
Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard this and immediately shook his head: "I really don't need two girls to do anything in the past two days. You just need to rest."
Zhao Yi was troubled by the money and stopped talking. He slowly turned around and went back to the room. Qianhong felt that it was obviously impolite to leave like this. Zhao Yi never paid attention to others in these polite questions, but Qianhong was different. She naturally reminded and compensated for the areas that the princess could not do.
Seeing that Zhao Yi ignored Chen Yuan, Qianhong felt that she was lacking in etiquette and immediately added: "Don't mind, shopkeeper, my lady has been doing things on weekdays, but if she doesn't do it this day, she feels uncomfortable. Please forgive me, please."
As he said that, he also retreated into the house, leaving Chen Yuan standing in the lobby blankly, and was even more surprised: "There is still such a thing? He looks so pure, and it turns out that he has reached the state of being uncomfortable if he doesn't do it for a day! The best! It's really the best among the tramps! Then can I solve it for her?"
Chen Yuan shook his head suddenly and said it another day. Today he is going to see Hu Yanqing's brother and sister. After all, he is going to invite someone to be the security captain. Now it's time to see how his injuries are.
He explained the business matters to Chen Shizhong, and took care of Amuda today to take those craftsmen and laborers to Gaishan Villa. All the logistics work of Gaishan Villa was planned by Manager Yang. Although Manager Yang did not have Chen Shizhong's spirit, he was very mature in his work. He was only in his forties and had a lot of surplus value to squeeze out.
Zhao Yi returned to the room and lay on the bed for more than an hour. Only then did he calm down and could no longer fall asleep. Seeing that the sky was already bright outside, he said to Qianqiu: "Go and see if the breakfast is ready, bring it to me."
Qianqiu curled her lips: "Miss, this is not a palace anymore! You have to go down and eat by yourself!"
Zhao Yi sat up and said, "You're right, let's go down together."
The two of them dressed up and Tingting walked out of the room. At this time, Chen Shizhong and Manager Yang and a few friends had just cleaned up the ball of corruption downstairs, and the diamond flower had just made breakfast and were putting on the dishes.
Manager Yang looked up and saw the two of them, and greeted him kindly: "The two girls are getting up? The breakfast is just ready, come and have a meal."
Zhao Yi nodded and agreed, but Qianqiu said very politely: "Thank you, uncle."
Breakfast is very simple, with a bunch of steamed buns and a pot of porridge. There are a few side dishes on the table, and the few plates of fried rice left yesterday. Although it is much worse than the breakfast in the palace, ordinary people will definitely not be able to set it up in the morning.
During the meal, I saw the guys and the Jurchens lined up in an orderly manner. One of them held a bowl, first served a bowl of porridge or noodles in front of the diamond flower, and then grabbed two steamed buns on the table and picked up some dishes, and then found a place to sit down.
Zhao Yi followed them, held a bowl and lined up with Qianqiu to get food. If Renzong saw this scene, he would not know what he would feel.
She just made a bowl of noodles and swept around. She absolutely looked more honest and pleasing to the eyes of Shopkeeper Yang, so she came to Shopkeeper Yang to sit down.
Manager Yang said politely: "Girl, are you used to eating?"
Zhao Yi took a sip of the noodle soup and said, "It's not bad, it's okay. By the way, uncle, do you know how much money you need to go to Hangzhou?"
She really asked the right person. Such a question is very well known to a shopkeeper who runs an inn. Shopkeeper Yang immediately said, "It depends on how you go. If you hire an ordinary carriage, it will only be more than 40 guan. If you want to be more comfortable on the road, you can hire a four-wheeler for sixty or seventy. Including the money you need along the way, if you save a little, you should be able to get a hundred guan. What should the girl ask about this?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yi secretly thought that it would cost a hundred guan along the way. Chen Yuan promised to give five hundred guan a month, and the two of them would be one thousand guan! This is enough for them to go to Hangzhou and make up their minds. Once the money is obtained, they will immediately leave and go to Hangzhou. What she has to do now is not to let Chen Yuan discover his fake before receiving the money.
"Oh, I just asked casually, let's not hide it from the shopkeeper. I have relatives in Hangzhou and I wanted to go and take a look very early, but I just didn't have time." Zhao Yi made up an excuse casually.
Manager Yang didn't doubt anything. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Girl, don't blame me for being too talkative. If you have other ways, it's better not to do this business!"
Zhao Yi looked up at him: "What did the shopkeeper say?"
Manager Yang sighed: "I just think that the girl is not like that kind of woman. She may have to do such a business, so she advised her. I hope you will consider what I said!"
Zhao Yi was teasing his head, but he still didn't expect the key point. He looked righteous and said, "What the shopkeeper said is wrong. Youdao is 360 professions, and every profession is the top scholar. We sisters make a living by their ability!"
"Puchi!" Chen Shizhong spit out a stream of noodles, making the table messy. Zhao Yi was confused, so he said: "What's wrong?"
Chen Shizhong hurriedly took the rag and cleaned up what he had spitted out, shaking his head: "It's okay! It's okay!"
The guys around laughed, and Zhao Yi said seriously: "It's just a mouthful of noodles. Is it worthy of your ridicule?"
Chen Shizhong and others could no longer laugh, but the shopkeeper Yang had a bad expression: "Oh! He advised him with kind words, but he didn't expect to tell Niu Tanqin!"
After breakfast, Zhao Yi knew the rules and helped clean up the table. Amuda went to find the craftsmen to build houses, and the Jurchens were also taken to help the craftsmen. Manager Yang and some friends were responsible for purchasing things for the construction site, and Chen Shizhong also went to the wine shop next to him to open the door to prepare for business.
In the blink of an eye, only Linghua and two young men were watching here. Linghua took out her clothes to wash, and then went to buy tea for the guest's room. She was so busy that she could not rest.
Zhao Yi and Qianqiu sat in the lobby blankly, looking particularly uncomfortable. They were all busy, and they were all fine, which made Zhao Yi feel particularly uncomfortable.
Just as Linghua went to the backyard again, the two guys also went upstairs to clean up the room for the guests. Suddenly, two women came to the door. The two of them were wearing makeup and colorful clothes, and they twisted and entered the inn: "Is the shopkeeper here?"
Qianqiu was about to stand up and greet Linghua, but Zhao Yi pulled her down and stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"
The two women looked at her and walked over with lotus steps: "Oh, this is the boss's wife, right? We were invited by your shopkeeper. We were originally planning to come last night, but some things were delayed. Please tell me about it with the shopkeeper. It was Chen Shishi who asked us to come."
Zhao Yi and Qianqiu looked at each other, and the two obviously understood something. Qianqiu's eyes showed a hint of fear, but Zhao Yi's eyes flashed with joy!
