Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Chapter 102: Staying in the Inn Together

When the soldiers guarding the city saw Ying Tianchen's demeanor, they could guess that this man was probably of high status and looked even more powerful than their county magistrate.

However, seeing that he was young and still looked like a teenager, and he didn't seem to be a high-ranking official, it was possible that he was the child of an official family, so I didn't dare to treat him with disrespect.

I didn't want to answer his question just now, I just wanted to clarify his identity.

"Excuse me, who are you? Please show me your pass."

The guard beside Ying Tianchen immediately stepped forward and handed over a badge.

The gatekeeper looked at the badge, then looked up at Ying Tianchen, and when he looked down at the badge again, he suddenly became half a head shorter. "Greetings, sir, I was blind and did not recognize a great man. I hope you can forgive me."

Ying Tianchen didn't want to get entangled with him at the city gate any longer, and wanted to deal with these villains without having to do it himself.

"Can we go into town now?" he asked.

"Of course." The soldier at the city gate quickly returned the badge respectfully, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked other soldiers to let him pass.

Ying Tianchen did not leave directly, but looked at Yun Xi.

"Miss Yun, please go first."

Yun Xi glanced at the arrogant soldier at the city gate and saw that he was avoiding her sight in fear, with sweat on his forehead. She felt satisfied.

Although I am not very familiar with Lord Chen, this kind of dog fight, bah, this feeling of power is really good.

It seems that the steamed bun I had at noon was not given in vain. At that time, I just thought that he was an official. I didn't want to curry favor with him, but I would not offend him if I could. He had already asked for help, so it was just a small thing, so I would help him if I could.

I didn't expect that after only half a day, I would get a reward. It really proved the good saying that good people will be rewarded.

Of course she had to appreciate the kindness, so she smiled and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Ying Tianchen was dazzled by the smile on her face and was stunned for a moment. "Well, Miss Yun, you're welcome. This is what I should do."

Yun Xi understood, so she said that it was the credit of the ten steamed buns at noon. He probably thought that he still owed her the money for the ten steamed buns, so he took it for granted to help out.

I was on guard against him before, but it seems I was overthinking it. This person must be cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

However, I still need to be on guard. Although this incident has made me like him more, I am still unfamiliar with him. It is better to be careful.

Yun Xi quickly called on everyone to get on the carriage and enter the city. At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city didn't even want the copper coins they had for entering the city.

After entering the city, Yun Xi thanked him again, thought for a moment, and said that she didn't need to pay for the ten steamed buns at noon.

Ying Tianchen disagreed. "Ms. Yun, let's put things in perspective. We must give what we agreed to. If you don't want us to pay just because we want to go to the city, it means we are taking advantage of our status to seek benefits. We absolutely cannot do that."

Yun Xi opened her mouth wide. It was just a few steamed buns. How could it be considered as using one's identity to make a profit?

All right then, when the time comes they’ll give me the coins and I’ll just keep them.

Yun Xi and his group first went to find an inn and booked a room, settling the women and children down, and then took the group of people who came to shop to buy food.

Basically, they were cakes and steamed buns, bought per person, two for women, one child, and four for men.

Basically one cent each, those with vegetable fillings are two cents, and those with meat fillings are five cents.

Naturally, everyone bought plain bread and steamed buns without fillings. Fortunately, everyone had some money, so a dozen copper coins a family could easily buy.

But one meal costs more than ten copper coins, which is still very painful for these farmers.

Two women were still mumbling that they would just cook something for themselves tomorrow. Anyway, they had brought food and pots with them, so as long as there was a water source, they could set up a stove on the road and cook porridge or something.

Yun Xi saw that Xi didn't say anything and seemed to agree with this, so she didn't say much.

Everyone didn't have as much money as she did, nor did they have many ways to make money, and they were also nervous about the unknown. They didn't dare to spend the little money they had carelessly.

She had the Xue family's fortune in her hands. Even if she didn't have the million-dollar fortune, her restaurant had earned tens of thousands of taels of silver. She wouldn't care whether this meal cost a few copper coins or a few taels of silver. In her opinion, eating well and living well were important. But now, they were acting together as a family, and there was no way she could leave everyone else alone to enjoy good food and drink.

So, I can only do the same as everyone else for now.

Once they get there, they will find a way to help their people get out of poverty and become rich as soon as possible. When everyone lives a good life, their family will no longer seem unique.

After the shopping group left the city, the women and children stayed in the inn, ate something, and went to bed early. Yun Xi asked Yun Yi and the other four people who followed him into the city to leave three people in the inn to look after the women and children. She herself took Yun Yi to go out for a walk.

Just after she went downstairs and hadn't left the inn, Yun Xi heard someone calling her, "Miss Yun, are you going out?"

Yun Xi looked back at the young man who had changed into a moon-white suit and blinked. He was really a natural clothes hanger. He looked good in anything he wore.

However, shouldn’t this person live in the county government office?

"Master Chen, why are you staying at the inn?"

Ying Tianchen felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her staring at him, but he tried his best to act normal.

"Well, I was just passing through Fuchuan County. There was no need to bother the county government, so I stayed at the inn."

Yun Xi suddenly realized, so that's how it is.

The guards around Ying Tianchen glanced at their master who was lying with open eyes, and they could only complain in their hearts. They didn't know who the person who had just been punished at the county government office was.

"It's my first time in Bucheon County, and I just want to go out for a stroll." This was in response to his previous question.

Ying Tianchen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I have been to Fuchuan County several times, and I am quite familiar with it."

After saying that, he looked at Yun Xi expectantly.

Yun Xi looked at the expectant eyes, not understanding what was going on.

"I see. Sir Chen is already familiar with the city. I'm sure he doesn't want to hang out anymore. Then we'll leave first. Goodbye, Sir Chen."

Ying Tianchen stood there in a daze, looking at the person who left without saying anything. After a long while, he looked at the guards beside him in confusion.

"Feng Feng, did I say something wrong just now? I should have said that this is my first time in Fuchuan County, right?"

Yu Fengfeng, who was looking up at the sky and pretending to be stupid, had to become serious when he heard his master calling him to question him.

He lowered his head and replied, "Master, you are right."

Ying Tianchen asked him, "Which sentence is correct?"

Yu Fengfeng: "Every sentence is correct."

Ying Tianchen stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "I think you should switch tasks with Ruhuo."

After saying that, he strode in the direction Yun Xi was going.
