Chapter 256 I want to eat spicy food...
Since my meridians have been opened, I have limited time to practice internal energy every day. Now I can practice in the space without being disturbed, which can also make up for the boredom on the road. How wonderful!
On the way back to Anshun, Yang Jianwu practiced her internal energy in the space. Mu Jin wanted to wake Yang Jianwu up, but Luo Li stopped her.
The young lady said not to bother her, and never try to challenge her. The wisest choice is to listen and do as she says.
When Yang Jianwu woke up after completing a full cycle of cultivation, it was already nearly dusk outside the carriage.
"Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry..."
Mu Jin pouted and handed over a box of snacks, "Have something to eat first, we'll be home soon."
"Alright! When you're hungry, anything tastes good."
Mu Jin poured Yang Jianwu a glass of water, truly admiring her mistress. She had slept all day without eating or drinking, and hadn't even taken care of her personal needs... She wondered how her mistress had endured it. As a maid, she dared not say or ask anything.
"Miss, you've managed to fool Prince Qi by feigning illness this time. But what if he finds out later? Won't he cause you trouble?"
Yang Jianwu shook his head indifferently.
"Did I say I had tuberculosis? No way! Did I find a doctor to treat me? No way!"
Mu Jin remained silent and obediently continued to listen.
"Tuberculosis usually manifests as cough, hemoptysis, night sweats, and gradual weight loss. The doctor brought by the King of Qi diagnosed me with tuberculosis based solely on taking my pulse. His misdiagnosis is his dereliction of duty, what does it have to do with me? I haven't even seen him yet! What a terrible doctor he found, I should curse him!"
In verbal disputes, Miss has never suffered a loss; she's always worrying unnecessarily.
After eating a few pastries, Yang Jianwu felt much better. She peeked out from under the curtains and was so angry that she almost fell backward!
The horse-drawn carriage swayed around all day, and we couldn't even see a trace of Anshun!
"Why so slow?"
"Miss, the coachman is a guard sent by the King of Qi. He said he was instructed by the King that since you are ill, he dares not drive too fast, for fear that your body cannot withstand it."
Yang Jianwu pouted at the carriage door, "Hehe, thank you for your concern!"
Finally, Luo Li stuffed a bag of silver into the guard's hand and repeatedly assured him that if Yang Jianwu became unwell due to the carriage's excessive speed, he would have no responsibility for any consequences. Only after much persuasion did they manage to speed up the journey.
They managed to enter the city before the city gates were locked.
Luo Li slipped another silver note to the guard, who immediately understood and left with a smile, not forgetting to praise Yang Jianwu's generosity before leaving.
The money he earned from escorting Miss Yang back to Anshun was equivalent to five years' worth of his salary. If it weren't for the fact that his ancestral home was in Ancheng, he would have wanted to stay and work for Miss Yang.
Luo Li got the driving license and headed straight for the snack street.
At this time of day, many restaurants are preparing to close, but the food street is still brightly lit.
Yang Jianwu washed her face before getting out of the carriage; she didn't want to walk down the street with a white face.
"What would you like to eat?"
Hibiscus: "We'll eat whatever you eat."
Luo Li: "You are the master, your word is law!"
"I want to eat spicy food..."
"..."
Mu Jin and Luo Li immediately fell silent; they really weren't good at eating spicy food.
"Judging from your expressions, I don't want to..."
Yang Jianwu walked ahead, searching for food, when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
It's Nalan Yuanli!
Why hasn't he gone back to Xipan yet? If he doesn't go back soon, he'll miss the New Year.
As if sensing something, Nalan Yuanli turned around and saw Yang Jianwu.
"Miss Yang! What a coincidence!"
"What a coincidence! Didn't you go home?"
"I'm going back tomorrow, so I'll take advantage of the free time tonight to stroll around the food street one last time."
Yang Jianwu looked at Nalan Yuanli. A prince concealing his identity and wandering around other countries all day long, she did not believe that he had no purpose.
"By the way, didn't Lianyi come with you?"
"Lianyi was sent back yesterday. She's a bride-to-be, and there's still a lot to prepare."
"Why not go somewhere else and only come to the food street?"
Nalan Yuanli looked at the brightly lit street, his eyes sparkling.
"Miss Yang, to be honest, I want to build a food street like this in Xipan Imperial City!"
"what?!"
Aren't princes and nobles known for opening shops? Nalan Yuanli is opening a food street...aren't you afraid of losing face?
"I especially love the culture and food of Dongli. You can't learn about culture in a day or two, but you can try making the food yourself!"
Yang Jianwu gave Nalan Yuanli a thumbs-up, "You have ideas, keep it up!"
The food business, regardless of dynastic changes, has always been a pillar of the economy. People may not buy clothes or jewelry, but food is a necessity!
Nalan Yuanli scratched his head, smiled shyly, and looked a bit like a timid young boy.
"Miss Yang, have you had dinner yet? How about we have dinner together?"
Yang Jianwu's stomach growled twice in response. It was too late, and she wanted to eat something quickly. Whether Nalan Yuanli was there or not wouldn't affect her appetite.
"Not yet, I had something to do today and just got back to the city."
"Then what do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat spicy food..."
Nalan Yuanli, "..."
Yang Jianwu was speechless. One after another, they asked her what she wanted to eat, but even if she answered, she couldn't eat with them...
After some discussion, the group decided to go to Huashuiyuefang for hot pot!
