Chapter 210 Appearance?
As for Sheng Changan and his group, they were busy preparing hot pot. Of course, snowy days are more suitable for hot pot.
Unfortunately, they had been traveling for too long and most of the things they brought in the carriage had been consumed, so they could only buy some ingredients in the capital.
Although the price is a bit high, fortunately Sheng Changan is not short of money now, and almost all the profitable industries in Guangping County belong to her.
Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, although business is lowly, it is indispensable for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Everyone looks down on yellow and white things, but cannot live without them.
"Sir, we will be able to eat soon." Gao Qiang patted the snow falling from outside. Several people were holding a few chickens in their hands. No one knew where they bought them in this weather.
Sheng Changan smiled and nodded slightly, looking outside. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He didn't know when the snow would stop.

When the middle-aged man walked over, he saw this scene: a group of people walking back and forth, with no distinction between high and low, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.
The fact that such a person can still occupy a place on the border is simply due to the right time and place.
He cleared his throat as a reminder, but a seventh-rank county magistrate was not worthy of his proactive greeting.
Sheng Changan seemed to have not noticed the people standing at the door at all. He looked intently at the book in his hand and responded to Xu Qing's words from time to time.
Yuan Qi closed his eyes and looked like he was resting.
The middle-aged man's face froze. He had not expected these people to be so ungrateful. The person behind him was quite clever and stepped forward. "How dare you! Lord Yu is here, why don't you come over to greet him?"
Sheng Changan then stood up and greeted them. "To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I came to the capital on the orders of the emperor, but I didn't recognize you all. I thought you were also staying at the Huangquan Inn!"
"You're quite sharp-tongued," he sneered, "for a woman to serve in the imperial court, you're no better than this."
Sheng Changan smiled lightly and said, "Not as good as you, sir." It's really annoying. He knew that the capital was probably full of stubborn people.
"Stop talking nonsense. It was you who did the thing with the city gate." Lord Yu frowned slightly, raised his head slightly, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes.
"City gate? What's the matter with the city gate?" Sheng Chang'an widened his eyes, somewhat puzzled.
"More than ten corpses were maliciously placed at the city gate. Doesn't Lord Sheng know about this?" The person who spoke was an official following Lord Yu.
His right hand was on the hilt of the knife, his eyes were murderous, and he looked like he was going to come and arrest Sheng Changan as soon as he acknowledged him.
"When did this happen? There is actually someone in the capital who is so bold. Isn't this a provocation?" Sheng Changan analyzed seriously.
"Weren't you the one who provoked them? Those people wanted to kill you last night but failed, but were killed instead, and you even threw them directly at the city gate."
"How could it be? I have always been an honest official. How could someone want to kill me? Lord Yu, this man is such a liar. He cannot be reused." Sheng Changan began to instigate blatantly.
"You..." The officer wanted to say something but was interrupted.
"That's enough." A hint of coldness appeared on Lord Yu's lips. "Pass on the emperor's order. A banquet will be held in the palace in three days. Lord Sheng must not be absent."
"Of course. Since the emperor has given the order, I will definitely attend the banquet no matter what difficulties I face." Sheng Changan raised his eyes slightly.
"Lord Sheng has a good appearance." Lord Yu glanced at her face and paused at the faces of Yuan Qi and others, then turned and left.
"Tsk tsk! I guess this person has never seen anyone good-looking." Xu Qing shook his head.
Yuan Qi sat back silently.
Sheng Changan turned around expressionlessly, "What do you mean?"
