Chapter 180 The Character of the Nobleman
"Oh, how could such a decisive person still be so entangled?
Take your pick, you can always change back."
She originally thought that it would be inconvenient to take a shower and change clothes if she suddenly became a man, but after Xiangxiang reminded her, she realized that she could save a lot of trouble by turning it off at any time.
"Then change it to a man, a rich young man, with a noble appearance, but not too fat."
It's only two days anyway, so feel free to change it up.
After more than an hour, the carriage that had been galloping all the way finally slowed down. Song Anning lifted the curtain and saw the towering city gate not far away. The city wall was made of huge stones, solid and thick.
"As expected of a provincial capital, it looks several times larger than Ping'an Town."
The driver heard the voice from inside the carriage and replied with a smile, "Is this your first time in the prefecture? Our Tongchuan Prefecture's prefecture is the most prosperous of the surrounding prefectures, more than ten times larger than Ping'an Town.
Excuse me for being so nosy, but the east and south sides of this city are where the nobles live. Throwing a stone there could easily hit several important figures. We common people can't afford to offend them."
Song Anning smiled and thanked him. In fact, she had discovered this when she was studying the map in the carriage just now. There were large mansions on the east and south sides, and there were countless pavilions and towers.
The north of the city is mostly small courtyards, with houses packed tightly together. The west, on the other hand, looks a bit run-down, with some abandoned houses. One can only know their exact condition by visiting them in person.
After getting off the carriage and walking on the street, she suddenly felt like a silly girl from the mountains coming into the city.
I wanted to find a secluded place to use the Huanyan Pill, but after searching for a long time, Xiangxiang couldn't find a suitable place.
She followed the signs on the map all the way north and finally found an empty alley, where she asked Xiangxiang to use the Huanyan Pill on her.
"Ding, the Huanyan Pill was used successfully."
The next moment, Song An Ning turned into a handsome young man waving a folding fan. She was a little impatient to see what she looked like.
So he furtively took out a small mirror and looked himself up and down, left and right.
"Well, not bad, not bad, Xiangxiang, you really understand me."
At this moment, she was dressed in a white robe, with flowing sleeves, like a banished immortal. This face was quite good, with delicate features, a pair of eyes as deep as a pool, and the corners of her mouth were raised, with a faint smile.
"Hey, Xiangxiang thought about it for a long time before she figured it out.
This guy looks like he was raised in a big family, but…"
"Huh? But what?"
After spending so much time together, Song Anning knew very well that as long as Xiangxiang hesitated, nothing good would happen.
"It's this outfit of his. Xiangxiang bought it from the mall for four hundred and fifty taels."
"..."
Four hundred and fifty taels! Ahhhh! My heart is bleeding...
How many traps would be needed to collect and how many wild vegetables would be dug? There were no wild vegetables to dig now. The season had already passed and if you wanted to dig fresh wild vegetables, you only had about a month left.
"Hey Master, don't be stingy with the money. Xiangxiang is also trying to create a noble persona. Is it appropriate for a wealthy businessman to wear a cotton shirt?
We can dig up wild vegetables and medicinal herbs, and we can also go fishing. In another month, there will be mushrooms on the mountain."
Hearing Xiangxiang talking about mushrooms, Song Anning shuddered instinctively. The last time she was poisoned by mushrooms on the boat left her with an indelible memory. She must be careful when going up the mountain to pick mushrooms!
"By the way, Master, isn't the jade pendant I bought for Ayuan last time in your backpack?
It's not appropriate to wear something worth hundreds of taels on your body, but it would be much better to hang it on a fan as a pendant."
Song Anning has lived two lives and has never been rich. Wild boars can't eat fine bran...
"Okay, let's do as you say."
"Hey, Xin Xiangxiang, that's right! Let's go over there and show off, oh no, to discuss business?"
"..."
“First, find a warehouse and take out those dozens of tons of corn seeds.
In addition, you can go to the mall and buy some high-yield seeds that can adapt to the environment here.
One-third of the high-yield ones will suffice. Thank you for your hard work."
"Okay, Xiangxiang, I'll do it right away.
It's not hard, Xiangxiang can do these things easily. But you, Master, have to do so many things and deal with strangers, that's the real hardship."
"Hehe, no."
Song Anning felt a little embarrassed by Xiangxiang's praise. He walked around the street but still had no idea how to find the warehouse.
The city was too big and crowded, so even with her outfit, people on the street seemed used to it.
Nearing noon, she suddenly remembered that she had not eaten yet, so she found a nearby restaurant that looked decent and planned to try the food in the city.
But he didn't expect that just as he was about to enter, he heard someone whisper beside him: "Sir, you are from out of town, right?
The food at this restaurant is average and the prices are high. If you don't mind, I'd be happy to take you to a few better ones."
"..."
When she turned around, she saw a boy of about sixteen or seventeen with a flattering smile on his face.
"Oh? Have you been to all these restaurants? You're quite brave to intercept customers at their doorsteps."
"Hey, I haven't eaten it, but I grew up in this area, and there's nothing I don't know about this city.
I'm very cheap, only 200 coins a day, and I'll send you all the news..."
Song An Ning didn't say anything. He looked at the person in front of him seriously and then waved his hand.
She really needs someone who knows the city well to help her, but it definitely can't be him.
Xiangxiang said that as soon as she walked into the street, several people followed her, including this young man.
"Haha, a gang is committing a crime. Are they trying to rob outsiders?"
"It should be. The look in his eyes tells me he's not a good person."
Xiangxiang said this angrily, keeping an eye on the man's expression and movements.
Sure enough, the moment Song An Ning stepped into the restaurant, the man behind him had a vicious look in his eyes. After cursing in a low voice, he left without looking back.
"Master, he didn't go far, he's in the alley next to us.
There are five of them, and they have knives on them. It seems they are targeting you."
Hearing this, Song An Ning, who had originally wanted to eat a bite in the lobby, suddenly changed his mind. He waved the folding fan in his hand and asked the restaurant waiter for a private room in a very heroic manner.
"Sir, please come upstairs..."
She had intended to order a few dishes, but the waiter said respectfully, "Sir, a room like ours requires a meal costing at least five taels of silver."
"..."
This minimum consumption made them understand the situation. Since they said so, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and order a few more dishes. It didn't matter if she couldn't finish them. She had a backpack anyway. At worst, she could just put the food in the backpack and take it out to eat when she was hungry.
Then the waiter said, "Sir, according to the rules of our restaurant, you have to pay first.
The room fee is two taels of silver, and these you ordered are seven taels of silver..."
Song Anning stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the boy for a long time, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.
