Chapter 260 260. Silverwind Town
“How far are we from the next town?”
“Thirty miles, we can stay at the inn tonight.”
< br>Cheng Xi sighed, “It’s really hard to live without a map. "
The people in power in ancient times were very taboo about maps. Forget about the panoramic map of the Yan Dynasty. It was not something that ordinary people should have. Even the palace ministers had to consider it if they wanted it. After careful consideration, I was afraid of being accused of harboring evil intentions.
Worrying people.
Shen Xingluo took out a rectangular piece of cloth from somewhere and said, "This is a map of the nearby area. It's better than nothing. Madam, just take a look at it."
Cheng Xi took a glance and came immediately. interest.
That is a simplified local map, at most the size of a county. A few lines outline the roads, mountains and rivers, and a few icons next to them represent towns along the way.
The most important thing is that such a gadget is not illegal.
"Are we at this position?"
"Yes."
"You don't need to be blind now."
Although the map on Bujuan is simple, But something is better than nothing. Holding a Bujuan in hand is like a modern person who needs a mobile phone wherever he goes, otherwise he will not feel safe in anything he does.
Cheng Xi felt that this habit was bad and didn’t know how to change it for a while.
Wait, why change?
“You have brought a lot of local maps like this, right?”
Shen Xingluo smiled with black eyes, “There are them all from Lin’an Prefecture to the capital, I have asked the system to compile them A new one, if you want to see it, you can ask for it."
"."Then can you give me this piece of cloth?"
Cheng Xi glared at him and suddenly felt that she was really stupid.
Shen Xingluo has always had the temperament to take one step at a time and wait until the next step. I'm afraid he had planned everything since he proposed traveling to Beijing and was just waiting for her to ask.
He was tricked again (#￣～￣#)
Cheng Xi said hello to 666 in his mind, and half of the Great Yan Dynasty came to mind.
True - half of the world.
The system also very considerately marked their current location with a blue dot, making it look like a real-time satellite navigation.
She looked at the natural woods and creek in front of her, and at the official road not far away where carriages and passers-by walked, and she suddenly felt happy.
"What are you happy about, madam?"
"Other people use the Internet to navigate, but ours uses manual navigation. 666 claims to be the first interstellar system, but now it's going to be frustrating. Right? ”
“.”
【.】
The increasingly transparent 666 had yet to speak and closed his microphone again.
The two pheasants on the fire soon gave off their fragrance. Since they were brushed with a layer of seasoning, the fragrance spread far and wide, attracting passers-by to look at them frequently.
"It smells so good! Daddy, I'm hungry, let's take a rest too? It's not a waste of time on the road."
"Well, well, have a rest."
Get closer The woods along the river are really a good place. Businessmen on the official road also like to gather together, and many people stopped nearby.
Here Wang Shu and Su Zhan are each responsible for a roast chicken. After it is cooked, they cut it into pieces with a knife and serve it with the scallion pancake prepared in the morning.
The sun is shining now, and a breeze blowing under the shade of the trees is particularly cool.
The Shen family members are not in a hurry. Since they have agreed to play, they will naturally focus on playing and do whatever makes them feel comfortable. However, this will be a pain for the caravans who are joining the rest next to them.
While others were working hard and looking disgraced on their way, they were enjoying themselves while eating mouth-watering barbecue.
“Oh~ this cake is so hard!”
"It smelled very good in the morning, but now it doesn't smell at all?"
"If you bear it any longer, you can stay in an inn tonight." Many people held the hard dry food in their hands and beat their chests. , I couldn’t eat it, threw it away, and couldn’t bear to part with it. I almost wanted to cry without tears.
It was not until noon that the Shen family leisurely boarded the carriage, and those who stayed there to rest collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
In the carriage, Shen Xingqi lost her morning energy, because she was sleepy and her little head was following the rhythm of the carriage bit by bit.
"Sleepy?"
"Yes."
"Sleep for a while, and we'll go to the inn when we wake up."
The interior of the carriage is not small, enough to accommodate three people. After they were gone, Cheng Xi put a pillow on his knees, and the little girl quickly fell asleep on it.
Thirty miles is not a long journey, but we arrived at Yinfeng Town in two hours.
Cheng Xi woke up Shen Xingqi and got out of the car together, and saw that they were already standing in front of an inn. Su Zhan was the first to go in and talk to the shopkeeper at the counter for a moment, then turned and walked over.
"Sir, you and your wife's room is on the west side of the third floor, and the lady's room is on the second one on the west side."
"Understood, we will stay here for two days, Take care of other things."
"Yes."
Cheng Xi followed Shen Xingluo to the third floor and found that his room was very elegantly decorated and everything in it was different. No, it doesn't match the inn's ordinary appearance at all.
"This place doesn't look like an inn."
It's so comfortable, it's a different kind of luxury.
She looked at the person beside her, "What's going on, Mr. Shen? Explain how there is such a high-end inn in a small town, and why was it chosen by Su Zhan?"
"I can't hide anything from you."
"Is it just a joke? Fuguang has been so busy all day that no one can be seen. Is this what he does?"
Shen Xingluo nodded, "There are only two rooms in the entire inn that are reserved for your own use and are not rented out. In addition, there is a small kitchen downstairs, which is convenient for whatever you want to do."
"You open an inn like this. How much?"
"At least Madam will no longer sleep in the open during this journey to Beijing."
"."
Cheng Xi felt hot and fell silent after a moment.
The inn was ordinary and featureless, and it didn't really stand out. It probably didn't make much money, and it was so low-key that it had some other purpose. She thought of something about Lin'an Prefecture that she had occasionally glimpsed in Shenjiacun's study, and it became clear instantly.
is used to collect messages.
Seeing her lowering her head and thinking, Shen Xingluo knew that Cheng Xi had already guessed, "I visited the Hongwei Escort Agency with my father-in-law a few days ago. The inn can accommodate the escorts from the agency."
"Then what did Uncle Chen promise you?"
"In the future, the escort agency will not only use objects as escorts, but also exchange letters."
"Is the Hongwei Escort Agency going to expand its scale?"
"The snowstorm has just passed a few months ago, and now the most indispensable thing in the north is idlers."
Cheng Xi couldn't bear to see his calm expression. He gave a thumbs up and said, "You are so good at seizing opportunities. Are you good at using cheap labor?"
Shen Xingluo was noncommittal.
Some people take advantage of natural disasters to make money, while others take advantage of natural disasters to recruit people to open stores and expand other cooperative businesses. The latter is him.
Knowing that he was confident, Cheng Xi said nothing more, leaving only "If you need help with anything, just come to me" and went to the small kitchen downstairs.
She is also a busy person, no less leisurely than Shen Xingluo.
When I left the house in the morning, I was given a bunch of "homework" by Mr. Xu. There was a pile of medical skills and medical practice records that needed to be reviewed. The master and the old man had to take assessments when they met next time.
If she fails the test, won't she lose her title as the best test-taker?
