Jing Rong and the rest spurred their horses on, rushing through the night and morning.
Finally, they arrived at Long Valley County. Although Long Valley County was not as big as Yiwu, and there were not many merchants passing by, it was very rich. The pace of life of the people in Long Valley was also very slow and comfortable. Although it was not as prosperous as Gaoding and Yiwu, for most people, it was a very good place for retirement.
Many rich people were willing to buy houses here to retire, so Long Valley County was nicknamed the 'rich district'.
Outsiders were rarely seen here. Whenever a carriage passed by, it would become the center of attention.
Therefore, when Jing Rong's carriage entered the city one after the other, it immediately attracted countless inquisitive gazes.
They all pointed at the carriage!
There was a lot of discussion.
It was probably because the people here were too rich that they had the time to discuss such a trivial matter.
Jing Rong heard all sorts of noises coming from the street outside. He was originally resting with his eyes closed, but suddenly, he curiously lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Long Valley County was indeed lively.
The long streets and long roads were very unique.
The people here were also well-dressed.
Of course, Jing Rong also noticed the strange gazes that were directed at his carriage.
He also heard a few words of gossip from those people.
Someone said, "Look, they seem to be from the Great Lin."
"Judging from the style of their clothes, they are. What are they doing here?"
"I'm not sure."
Then, someone began to guess who was in the carriage.
Why did they come to Long Valley?
Gossipy!
Jing Rong turned to Ji Yunshu and said, "After we find an inn, we might have to change into Huyi clothes. This place is different from Yiwu. There aren't many merchants here. I'm afraid it'll be inappropriate for us to dress like this."
The clothes of the Great Lin were more or less inconvenient.
Ji Yunshu understood. "You're right. We shouldn't dress like this. There are many places on the way to Gaoding and it'll inevitably attract attention. If we say we're going to trade, it won't be right if we don't have any goods with us."
"After we change into Huyi clothes, if anyone asks, we can just say we're going to Gaoding to visit our relatives."
"Okay." Ji Yunshu nodded.
Jing Rong said to the guard driving the carriage, "Quickly find a safe inn."
"Yes."
The guard complied.
Song Zhi's carriage followed behind their carriage.
Bai Yin was sitting outside driving the carriage.
Song Zhi was too tired and slept for the whole morning. He only woke up when he heard the noise of the market outside.
He rubbed his eyes and pulled open the curtain in front of him in a daze.
He was slightly surprised!
He didn't expect to arrive at Long Valley so soon.
In fact, he had been here once in his early years.
At that time, he became famous because of his poems, and those rich kids said they wanted to invite him to Long Valley to eat Long Tongue Noodles.
Hasegawa was most famous for his long tongue noodles.
It was said that one bowl cost fifty taels of silver. Eating it could prolong one's life, and it was also good for the brain.
As for why it was given this name … it was probably because Hasebe was a bit like a "gossiper".
At that time, Song Zhi refused for a long time. After all, he was the one who took it, and his mouth was soft. Moreover, it was a bowl of noodles that cost fifty taels.
But in the end, he really couldn't resist those people's dragging and dragging. In the end, he still came and ate a bowl of the most famous long tongue noodles in Long Valley.
Fifty taels of silver!
However, the taste … how should I put it?
It tasted worse than unpalatable.
To put it bluntly, long tongue noodles were used by rich people to show off their wealth.
It was the same reason why some people liked to show off their wealth with "star-shell" coffee.
But fortunately, that bowl of noodles was treated to him by someone else.
However, although he said it was an invitation, in the end, he gave a few poems to those rich kids.
It was said that those poems were sold for a high price of a few hundred taels of silver.
Since then, whenever he heard that someone wanted to treat him to Long Tongue Noodles in Long Valley, his heart would feel suffocated.
It was nothing more than a bowl of noodles in exchange for a few poems of his!
It was a disguised business deal with him.
This time, he came to Long Valley again!
It was inevitable that he was a little traumatized.
He took a deep breath, leaned out of the carriage, and sat next to Bai Yin.
"You're awake? Don't you want to sleep a little longer? "Bai Yin asked him.
Song Zhi was slightly apologetic. "Hero braved the rain to drive my carriage, but I slept so comfortably inside. I really shouldn't have."
His voice was warm and a little hoarse.
It was probably because he had caught a cold last night.
"Don't say that. You weren't fit to drive a carriage last night. If something happened during the journey, we would have to save you. If the carriage overturned and you died, we would have to bury your body. How troublesome would that be?" Bai Yin said coldly and seriously.
"…"
"You should go in and sit. I'm not used to having someone sit next to me."
Song Zhi said, "I'll keep you company."
"Keep you company?" Bai Yin thought that word was too funny. She looked at him with disdain. "Young Master Song, I'm not a three-year-old child."
Hearing this, Song Zhi hurriedly explained, "Hero, you've misunderstood. I … didn't mean that."
He lowered his head.
Bai Yin smiled. "Why are you so nervous? I didn't scold you or hit you! I'm not blaming you either. Also, my name is not Hero, it's Bai Yin. Don't call me 'Young Master', I don't like it. "
"Then what should I call you?"
"Just call me by my name." "Alright, Hero … Bai Yin." Song Zhi felt a little awkward, and felt that it was impolite to call her by her name. However, he was a little afraid of Bai Yin, so he would just listen to whatever Bai Yin said. He suddenly noticed that Bai Yin's clothes were still wet, and said anxiously, "Your clothes are still wet!
You'll catch a cold. "
Bai Yin didn't care!
All these years, he had traveled to countless places in order to find out about his parentage. What kind of storms had he not encountered? Never done it? He could even sleep in the rain. Wearing a soaked shirt was not enough to cause him frostbite and freeze to death.
Bai Yin scanned him from head to toe and said, "Not everyone is like you."
So thin and weak.
"Like me?" Song Zhi was confused.
He couldn't understand what he meant.
After all, his brain didn't know how to make sense of things.
Bai Yin could not be bothered with him. She didn't even like talking to a bookworm like him.
As she drove the carriage, she kept an eye on the surroundings of the inn.
The carriage slowly weaved through the crowd.
Many people in the surroundings turned their gazes over.
Some were even pointing at them.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a slightly more secluded inn.
Before they could even sit down, the waiter came out to welcome them warmly.
