Chapter 144 The Gossiping Women
Xue Zhong cupped his hands and asked, "Why do you ask this?"
The woman waved her hand carelessly: "Hey, this gentleman doesn't know that our Renyi Village is different from before."
Seeing the man in front of her listening attentively, she was even more proud: "There is a noble man in our village. He was picked up by Xia Cheng and his wife from our village. He went to the capital a few days ago..."
"Humph, the couple has spoiled their little daughter since she was a child. She never touches the water of ordinary people, and all the delicious food and drinks are given to her. You can't find a family that loves their daughter so much in the whole village. It turns out that they knew that their adopted daughter was actually a noble lady in the capital, and they had planned this long ago!"
The other woman seemed to be somewhat displeased with the Xia Cheng couple and spoke in a sour tone.
Xue Zhong said: "So, this couple is very good to their adopted daughter. They seem to be a very kind-hearted couple."
"Kind? Humph! I don't know what those couple are thinking. Their eldest daughter has been beaten and scolded since she was a child. She has nothing to eat and nothing to wear. Hey, did you know that Xia Xueqing was beaten stupid by Liu? Hey! They sold that girl a long time ago, tut tut tut"
The woman was talking with saliva flying.
A hint of coldness flashed across Xue Zhong's eyes, and Gao Yi, who was following behind him, felt the coldness emanating from Xue Zhong.
He then stepped forward and asked, "May I ask, elder sister, where was Xia's biological daughter sold to?"
When the woman saw the man behind the old man calling her "big sister", she was secretly delighted and said happily: "It's not very far, go to Shilibao in the direction of Jiangjun Mountain, the Wu family"
Gao Yi bowed and said, "Thank you, sister. We are just about to go to Jiangjun Mountain to have a look." He glanced at Xue Zhong and said, "I wonder if there is an inn nearby where we can stay?"
"There is no inn nearby. You have to go first. You should be able to reach Anyang City before dark and stay the night there," the woman said enthusiastically.
Gao Yi said a few more words of thanks, helped Xue Zhong get on the carriage and left Renyi Village.
In the distance, the mountains are undulating and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a beautiful scene in an ink painting. In the near distance, the grass and trees are lush, the flowers are fragrant, and various birds are singing happily on the branches, forming a vibrant natural picture.
Even so, Xue Zhong was not in a good mood.
Leisurely Residence
Shopkeeper Xie was looking at the account book in his hand with a smile in his eyes, but at this moment there was a shadow above his head blocking the little remaining sunlight.
When he looked up, he saw Gao Yi: "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"
At this time, the restaurant was still bustling with diners. Gao Yi found out that the most popular restaurant in Anyang City was Youran Ju, which was said to have very unique dishes.
In order to ease his master's mind, Gao Yi asked the coachman to go straight to Youran Ju.
As soon as Gao Yi saw the man's clothes, he knew he must be the shopkeeper. He bowed and said, "Hello, shopkeeper. I'm stationed in the shop. There are three rooms upstairs and two downstairs."
The waiters were already very busy, so they personally handled the matter for Gao Yi. They took the key and took Gao Yi upstairs to see the room.
The two walked from the corridor on the second floor to the backyard, and Gao Yi was very satisfied.
After paying the silver, Shopkeeper Xie sent a waiter to lead the way. Since there was a carriage, they entered directly through the back door.
When the waiter brought the store's special dishes to Xue Zhong's room, Xue Zhong immediately felt hungry when he smelled the aroma of the dishes.
I didn’t expect that such a small place like Anyang would have such delicious food.
Early in the morning of the second day, Xue Zhong, who was practicing sword in the yard, was stunned when he saw the young man walking in from the front.
