"Dad, is this our original home?"
Standing in front of the former Wang Manor, Wang Zhenzhen was a little confused.
She left Qing'an County when she was three years old and came back for the first time in ten years. She has very few memories of her childhood.
But Wang Zhenzhen still clearly remembers that there is a towering tree in the courtyard at the door. Whenever summer comes, the dense crown of the tree blocks the scorching sunshine. It is not to mention how happy it is to block the swing under the tree.
However, the former Wang Clan has now changed its courtyard, and even the big tree has disappeared.
Looking at the "Zhang Manor" plaque hanging on the door lintel, the girl couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Yes."
Wang Chen gently stroked her daughter's hair and said, "Things have changed in ten years."
"What do you do?"
At this moment, a concierge came out and chased people away aggressively. "Don't block the door, you know my master..."
The next moment, he was glanced at by Wang Chen, and suddenly he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a cold air shot up from the soles of his feet to the ceiling.
He was actually frozen in place, unable to move.
"Let's go."
Wang Chen said, "There is nothing left to miss here."
Today's Qing'an County Town looks quite dilapidated and depressed compared to what it was ten years ago.
It is said that a turmoil broke out in the years after Wang Chen left, and many people died, and then things slowly settled down.
He took his daughter and continued northward, passing many cities and villages along the way and meeting all kinds of people.
The feeling that this long journey brought to Wang Zhenzhen was fresh and exciting at first, and then gradually became numb.
Even tired.
And this is exactly what Wang Chen wants his daughter to experience.
Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. There are many principles of life and Jianghu experience that you don't know at home, and it is difficult for others to teach you.
Only when you experience it yourself can you truly remember it in your heart and become an important part of your life.
The two of them were on their way that day when suddenly dark clouds came over and strong winds blew.
Wang Chen glanced at the sky and said in a deep voice, "It's going to rain heavily. Let's find a place to rest."
"Yeah."
Wang Zhenzhen nodded, waved his horsewhip and rushed forward quickly.
After a while, she shouted loudly, "Dad, I saw an inn ahead!"
There was no one around. What Wang Zhenzhen found was a roadside wild shop. It seemed to be quite large. There were many carriages and trucks parked next to it, and some horses, cattle and sheep were also circled.
Tongfu Inn.
Wang Chen nodded. "This is it."
It was getting dark and the storm was approaching. There was probably only one inn within a few dozen miles, and I didn't know if there were any spare rooms.
"May I ask if you two want to stay in a hotel? Or go to the top?"
As soon as Wang Chen and Wang Zhenzhen rode their horses to the front door of the inn, a young shopkeeper nodded and bowed to greet them.
Wang Chen jumped down and threw the reins in his hands to the other party. "Dajian Hotel, do you still have a room here?"
The shop assistant took the reins skillfully and said with a smile, "Yes, yes. Please sit inside."
Wang Zhenzhen also handed the reins to the other party and warned, "Take good care of it and serve it with the best feed in your store."
As she said that, she threw a Shattered Silver to the guy. "It's for you."
The store clerk was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, heroine, I will take good care of the little one!"
Wang Zhenzhen Although he is young, he looks like a gangster, and he does not dare to show any slightness.
Wang Chen and Wang Zhenzhen had just walked into the lobby of Tongfu Inn when they heard a thunder outside, and then raindrops as big as peas began to fall, making the roof tiles crackle.
There are more than a dozen wine tables in the lobby of the inn, most of which are occupied by people, including Jianghu people and traveling merchants. It seems to be quite lively.
The appearance of the two people immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Especially Wang Zhenzhen is the most eye-catching.
Although Wang Zhenzhen is not a great beauty who has attracted the attention of the whole country, she has a tall figure, fair skin, and the sassy spirit of a child of the world. The most important thing is that she is young and invincible, so she naturally became the center of attention.
There were a few looks that were not very polite, causing the girl who was aware of them to wrinkle her nose in disgust.
The result is rather cute and cute.
Wang Chen ignored these strange looks, found an empty table to sit down, and then called to the waiter, "We want two upper rooms, and then let's see if there are any good wines or dishes."
He waved his hand, and an ingot of snowflake silver instantly appeared on the table.
Standard five-liang weight.
Great Wei The world is becoming more and more peaceful, and the purchasing power of silver taels has returned to the past. These five taels of snowflake silver are enough to feed a family of five ordinary people for half a year.
Not a small sum of money.
There were a few more eyes spying on Wang Chen in the blink of an eye.
Make a Move Generous high-rollers are welcome everywhere, and the store clerk's smile is more sincere, "Please wait a moment."
White-cut mutton, braised beef, grilled river fish...
One dish after another was served quickly.
Wang Chen After trying it, it tasted really good, especially the white-cut mutton, which was full of flavor and satisfying.
The drinks were delivered personally by the innkeeper's wife.
The pretty and charming proprietress said with a smile, "This is the shop's fifteen-year-old Daughter Red. It is only used to entertain distinguished guests. I hope you like it."
As she spoke, she poured a full bowl for Wang Chen herself.
Wang Chen picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, then smacked his lips and said, "Not bad."
This kind of aged rice wine is definitely not available for fifteen years, but it has been stored in the cellar for about ten years. The wine is fragrant and mellow, and it is a perfect match with white-cut mutton.
The landlady smiled and narrowed her eyes, "As long as the customers like it."
The so-called charming eyes are probably like this.
At this time, the innkeeper behind the counter lowered his head to calculate the accounts, as if he didn't even see his wife showing off.
A typical example of a simple, honest, middle-aged tortoise man.
Wang Chen ignored the landlady's flirtatious look and took out two more silver coins and slapped them on the table. "Two more coins."
It's totally the style of the big brother on the list.
The landlady took a breath, her eyes shining with surprise. "Okay, I'll deliver it right away."
She collected the money with great skill, winked at Wang Chen, and then twisted her plump waist to prepare the food and drinks.
Wang Chen glanced at it, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and suddenly noticed a strange gaze.
It's the killing look from my daughter!
"Dad, you have Jianghu experience!"
The girl puffed her cheeks and hummed. "You must know many such boss ladies, right?"
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Wang Chen said three times in a row, and then said, "Eat the food quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
As a result, he got a roll of his eyes from his obedient daughter and boss.
