Chapter 55: Carsick
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhao Zhan took advantage of the time Yue Jiaojiao took to wipe herself clean, picked up the bowl, and finished the remaining small wonton in two or three mouthfuls.
No wonder she looked unsatisfied.
The ingredients used in the small wonton were not strong enough, and the meat inside was not only not tender but also a little dry.
In the future, when they went out again, he would prepare breakfast and bring it out with her. This way, his sweetheart would be able to eat more comfortably.
Zhao Zhan quickly reflected on his actions, then returned the bowl to the wonton stall owner. He then sloppily took a bite of a shaobing.
“Lizheng, you can go back first. We’ll go to the county first.”
“Are you guys coming back today? Do you want me to pick you up?” Yang Li Zheng guessed that Zhao Zhan was also reluctant to let his wife walk back, so he asked, “Tell me about an hour before and I’ll arrange everything accordingly.”
“It’ll be a little too rushed to come back today.” Zhao Zhan carried Yue Jiaojiao down from the ox cart and reached out to hold her hand. He shook his head and rejected Lizheng’s good intentions. “I’m not sure if I’ll be back tomorrow or the day after. You don’t have to come and pick us up.”
“Alright then. Be careful out there.”
“Don’t worry, we will.”
After bidding farewell to the Lizheng, Zhao Zhan brought Yue Jiaojiao to hire a carriage.
The official road from Wangshan Town to Huai County was not well maintained, so the journey was very bumpy. Yue Jiaojiao felt a little regretful after sitting on it for a while. The degree of bumps was comparable to a rocking car, and even if she wanted to lean against the carriage to rest, her head would hurt.
Yue Jiaojiao’s face was pale, and her brows were slightly furrowed in discomfort.
Zhao Zhan had brought a big bag with him. He took out the blanket inside and folded it into two layers. “Jiaojiao, you can lie here and rest on my lap. It should be more comfortable.”
This person… Did he bring out all his belongings?
Yue Jiaojiao sighed in her heart and obediently lay down on the blanket.
Zhao Zhan held her in his arms. In order to prevent himself from swaying too violently with the carriage, his whole body was straight. By the time they reached Huai County, all the muscles in his body had become numb and stiff.
Yue Jiaojiao passed out in the carriage. She had originally planned to go for a stroll once they reached Huai County, but now she was in no mood.
Before Zhao Zhan had come, he had asked Manager Li which inn was the best in Huai County. He paid the coachman the silver and went to ask for a superior room with his lover.
“Manager, can I borrow your kitchen for a while?”
Seeing Yue Jiaojiao lying weakly on the bed without any energy, Zhao Zhan thought of making something for his her.
It was just noon, and it was time for lunch. The shopkeeper waved his hand. “The big kitchen and the small kitchen are all in use. If you want to eat anything, you can tell the waiter and he will send it to your room later. Don’t worry. The food in our restaurant is the best. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be so busy just when it’s time for lunch. Please be understanding and take a look at the menu. What do you want to eat?”
Huai Jing Inn was Huai County’s largest Inn, and its business was even better than the biggest restaurant in Huai County.
“Have you heard of the Rising Cloud Inn in Wangshan Town?”
Today, Zhao Zhan was wearing the long robe that Yue Jiaojiao had picked for him.
He stood tall and straight, wearing a refined long robe that was washed away by the wild nature of a hunter. His facial features were rugged, his eyes were deep, and his imposing manner made people not dare to underestimate him.
The innkeeper muttered to himself for a moment before he suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, “The one that has been selling bean sprouts and tofu recently?”
Speaking of the inn, the manager’s ears were really itching.
Fang Yuan and his bodyguard agency in Huai County suddenly went to every eatery in Huai County, claiming that he must eat yellow bean sprouts. If any inn or restaurant could make it, he would reward them with 100 silver.
