Chapter 153 Haicheng Wei Family
Wen Wan was holding the roasted sweet potato and had just taken a bite. When she heard Agui's question, she immediately stopped.
Where to go next?
It's so sad that in this vast world, there is no place for her to end up.
Fortunately, people who are used to being wild don't dwell on the past.
"I want to see the sea."
People in the inland are obsessed with the sea, just like people on the seaside are obsessed with snow-capped mountains. The different scenery always makes people yearn for it.
Agui was not surprised, as he looked like it was indeed the case.
Wen Wan was amazed and said, "Oh, look at your expression. Did you guess where I'm going?"
Agui laughed naively, "It's not me, it's Wen En. When we were in Mobei, he talked to me about you from time to time. At that time, he said that one day you would go to the seaside."
"Oh?" Wen Wan chuckled, "Why do you see it?"
"He said... if you want to eat seafood, you will go to the beach sooner or later." Agui was also sighing, "I didn't expect that Wen En and you have not known each other for a long time, but he actually guessed where you were going."
Wen Wan: "..."
Is her foodie image so obvious? He actually guessed that she was going to the beach to eat seafood just because she was greedy.
However, in this era of inconvenient transportation, if you want to eat seafood, you really have to go to the beach.
Perhaps it was due to a change in her mood that when she mentioned Wen En again, she no longer had the initial difficulty in accepting it.
Even Shen Yu seemed to have become a passer-by in her life. From now on, she might never interact with them again.

The next day, Wen Wan and A Gui went down the mountain.
They first went to a nearby town to buy a carriage and prepared some necessary items for a long journey, and then headed east.
From spring to summer solstice, it took the two of them a month of walking and stopping from the border town to the nearest seaside city.
The further east you go, the hotter the weather becomes, and when you reach the seaside, it seems that you have entered the hot summer season.
The sky was getting dark, and Wen Wan and the other two managed to enter Haicheng before the city gate closed.
The largest inn in the city, the lanterns were hung high at the door, and the dim yellow light fell on the waiter squatting aside and dozing.
Agui stopped the carriage and called the waiter.
The waiter yawned and stood up, smiling warmly, "Are the two guests staying at the hotel?"
"Yes." Agui jumped out of the carriage and helped Wenwan down.
When the waiter saw Wen Wan, he was stunned for a moment. The surprise in his eyes flashed away, and he asked with a smile: "You two are also here to participate in the Qiu Hua Club, right? With such a girl's appearance, she will definitely be on the list."
"Qiu Hua Hui?" Agui was stunned, "What is that?"
"The Qiuhua Fair is a grand prayer event held by the Wei family. Young men and women between the ages of sixteen and twenty can attend the Qiuhua Fair."
When the waiter saw that they were from out of town, he led them to the inn and explained as they walked.
"At the Qiu Hua Meeting, there will be masters from Qin Tianjian who will look at the young men and women. As long as they are good-looking and do not conflict with the Wei family, they can become Qiu Hua envoys and go to the temple to pray for the Queen Mother."< br>
Wen Wan was startled, "Queen Mother?"
Seeing her expression, the waiter said in surprise: "Don't you two know that the Queen Mother's natal family is our Wei family in Haicheng?"
I really don’t know.
Wen Wanchuan was imprisoned in the back house of the General's Mansion, and Agui was a country bumpkin from a border town. Neither of them had done any research on the family background of the important figures in the Duan Dynasty.
The visitor was a customer. Although the waiter was disdainful, he still maintained his enthusiasm and said a few more words.
"Those two are really lucky. The day after tomorrow is the Qiuhua Fair. With this girl's appearance, you can try your luck. If you are selected, you will be very successful." Wen Wan chuckled, "Oh? She is rich. Earn? ”
"It's not just about money." The waiter found his presence in front of the two of them.
"The Empress Dowager has said that as long as the chosen Qiuhua Messenger guards the temple and prays for her for three years, he can become the Empress Dowager's adopted daughter or son and enjoy a lifelong salary."
Hearing this, Wen Wan finally understood what the waiter meant.
In this world, life is not easy. If you pray for the Queen Mother for three years, you can enjoy a lifetime salary and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. For ordinary people, it is simply a change of fate.
This kind of thing really cannot be measured with money.
The waiter in the shop asked cheerfully: "How's it going? Girl, do you want to try it?"
Wen Wan waved her hand, "No, I love eating meat. I can't do a job like guarding the temple. If I can't help but eat, I will offend the gods and bring trouble to the master's family."
The waiter in the shop had never heard such an answer before, so he didn't react for a moment.
"Appetite?"
In the past few days, he has received countless people who came to attend the Qiuhua Fair. Who is not full of longing? This was the first time that I met someone different.
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
This girl actually gave up this great opportunity because she loves eating meat?
What a strange statement.
The waiter was still surprised when the young man who was drinking not far away couldn't hold back and sprayed a mouthful of wine on the face of Chang Sui opposite him.
Chang Sui dared not say anything in anger, but looked at his young master sadly.
The young master was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He said sorry and turned to look at Wen Wan at the door.
"This girl is quite interesting."
Chang Sui raised his sleeves to wipe his face. Hearing this, he looked in the direction of the young master. After seeing his gentle appearance, he sighed:
"Sir, do you find every good-looking girl interesting?"
"Nonsense." The young master raised his hand and knocked Chang Sui on the head, "Your master, I, Zhou Lingling, the most talented person in Guyun Town and the only young master of Zhou Family Medical Center, are such superficial people?"
Zhou Lingling did not lower her voice in this long list of self-reports, and there was an element of deliberate showoff.
So as soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding guests looked in his direction.
Even Wen Wan raised her eyes and glanced up.
However, Wen Wan didn't seem to care. She quickly looked away. After taking the key from the shopkeeper, she followed the waiter to settle in the guest room in the backyard.
Agui's room was next to Wenwan's. After the two put their luggage away, they went to the front hall to have dinner together.
After running around for days, I was finally able to have a good meal. Wen Wan was not stingy at all and ordered a large table of seafood.
"The freshest ingredients often use the simplest cooking methods. Don't look at simple steamed fish. You only need to take a bite and you will know that it is so delicious! Come on, try it."
Wenwan knew that Agui was visiting the seaside city for the first time and had never eaten fish from the sea, so she pushed the steamed fish in front of Agui and introduced it to him enthusiastically.
With a smile on his face, Agui thanked Wenwan and took a chopstick of fish into his mouth.
“Fresh! It’s really delicious!”
Agui nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but admire.
Smiling softly and proudly, he also started to eat happily.
She had just taken two bites when she saw Agui's ruddy face suddenly turn pale, and the next moment he fell on his back and fainted.
