Farmer sister: Escape from wilderness and farm with Lingquan space
Chapter 270 Shopkeeper Chen of Juxianlou
Qiao Ran said: "You guys just wait here. I'll go and try by myself to see if I can go into the city. Anyway, I still want to give it a try. In case Mr. Mo didn't lie to us, we have already made arrangements." Where is the placement?"
The old village chief nodded: "Well, then you go! You have to be careful to protect yourself. If you can't get in or can't find anyone, forget it. Anyway, we are already here, and the government has made arrangements. At least we can have stability. The place to come down.”
"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible."
Qiao Ran responded, then took the jade pendant and walked straight towards the city gate.
The others stayed where they were, looking at Qiao Ran's back nervously.
The junior captain at the beginning was still watching the developments here. When he saw Qiao Ran coming over, he looked at Qiao Ran doubtfully, wondering what the black girl had come to see him for again.
"Brother official, I want to go to the city to find someone, a very important person. Can you let me in? I'll be back soon."
As Qiao Ran spoke, she handed over a piece of broken silver worth one tael.
One tael of silver is quite a lot, it can pay for these city gate guards for a month.
However, the captain weighed the small piece of silver in his hand, curled his lips and said:
"As a refugee who has just arrived, who can you go in to find? Don't just make excuses to go to the city to do bad things, right?"
Qiao Ran was speechless. If this was not the capital and she was new here and couldn't offend these people, she would have really wanted to say something to him.
However, for the future life of a village, time cannot be lost.
She could only take out one more tael of silver from the bag, patted her empty bag vigorously a few times, and smiled at the captain:
"Brother, official officer, all my money is here, please be accommodating! I really just went to the city to find someone, Juxianlou, you know? I have people I know. Don't worry, I will be there soon." Just came out. Look, my family is still waiting for me over there! How dare I do something bad? "
The captain weighed the two broken pieces of silver in his hands, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay! Then go here to register your original household registration and name, and then when you come out, you have to say it here and have someone cross out your name. Otherwise, who knows if you took the opportunity to sneak into the city and never came out. .”
Qiao Ran nodded: "Thank you, brother official!"
She reported her household registration name in front of the clerk in charge of registration. The captain waved his hand, and several gate guards let her in.
Qiao Ran entered the city and asked passers-by for the direction of the Juxian Building. She used Qinggong a little and quickly passed through the lively crowd and found the Juxian Building.
This is a restaurant located on the main street of Beijing. The location is good and the business seems to be very prosperous.
There were several carriages parked at the door, and many people got off the carriages and sedan chairs and walked directly inside.
The three-story restaurant facade is very tall and majestic.
On the large plaque at the door, there are three big gilded characters of "Juxian Building" with dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air. It is really lavish and full of entrenchment.
If you look at the shadowy figures in the door and windows, you will know how prosperous the business is.
Seeing Qiao Ran, a strangely dressed girl, coming alone, the boy who greeted guests at the door didn't act too strange.
After all, this is the capital, and all kinds of guests come to the restaurant to eat every day, as well as many guests from outside the country.
Seeing her about to go inside, the boy asked out of habit: "Do you want to eat or order food?"
Qiao Ran saw that the boy was still polite and didn't look down on others and drove her out, so she stopped and asked:
"This little brother, could you please help me find Shopkeeper Chen? I have something important to ask him."
When the boy heard this, he looked at her carefully.
Seeing that the clothes and shoes she was wearing were not like those of a local girl, and she did not look like a young lady from a wealthy family. Her face was dark and had a few spots, and she looked like a country girl from somewhere. I couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Could it be that this is one of Shopkeeper Chen's poor relatives from the countryside who is here to beat the autumn wind?
If he went to shopkeeper Chen for such a matter, he would not be in a good position, so he was reluctant to go.
"Who are you? What do you want from Shopkeeper Chen? You tell me first, and then I can go in and report."
Seeing the vigilant look on the boy's face, Qiao Ran smiled helplessly.
The matter was in a hurry and she didn't have time to dress up. She didn't expect that her appearance would still make people misunderstand that she was here to enjoy the autumn breeze.
She had no choice but to take out the jade pendant from the bag and said:
"A Mr. Mo gave me this jade pendant and asked me to find shopkeeper Chen of Juxian Building when I arrive in the capital. Could you please go in and tell me that the girl surnamed Qiao who fled from Qingzhou is here to find me as promised? he."
When the boy saw the jade pendant, he immediately said: "It's Miss Qiao! Please come in. The shopkeeper has told me to bring you in as soon as you come."
With that said, the boy led the way diligently, took Qiao Ran into the restaurant, and took her to the second floor.
"Shopkeeper, this girl calls herself Qiao and is here to see you."
In a side room on the second floor, shopkeeper Chen was fiddling with his abacus against the account book. He was suddenly interrupted by someone coming in, and he raised his head in displeasure.
Seeing the young man bringing in a rustically dressed country girl, shopkeeper Chen looked at the girl suspiciously.
Although the master said that the person who came to see him would be a refugee who had fled here, he did not expect that it would be such a plain-looking and even somewhat ugly girl.
The master has always been a beauty-controller and only likes beautiful things. If such an ugly girl stands in front of the master, the master will immediately wash his eyes.
Why would he let such an ugly girl come to find him?
Although he was very puzzled, shopkeeper Chen kept his composure, put down the account books and abacus at hand, and walked out of the counter.
"Are you Miss Qiao? Do you have a token?"
Qiao Ran took out the jade pendant from the bag again and handed it over: "Of course I have it. This is the jade pendant Mr. Mo gave me."
Shopkeeper Chen went crazy when he saw that the girl casually took out this jade pendant from a dusty coarse cloth bag and handed it to him nonchalantly.
There is a villain in my heart who is complaining crazily: "Is there any mistake? Master's jade pendant! It's actually in the hands of such an ugly girl from the countryside! And this ugly girl doesn't cherish it at all! She actually puts such a precious jade pendant like this Put it haphazardly in such a cheap coarse cloth bag!"
"Does this girl know how precious this jade pendant is? Does she know what this jade pendant represents? Is this an ordinary jade pendant? Ah? How can you treat this jade pendant so casually? How can you treat this jade pendant with such contempt? A jade pendant? Does she know how precious this jade pendant is? Ahhhhh...!"
