After the system ran, I took off with my family

"what are you doing?"

When Qingzhi saw Old Lady Luo was about to enter the house, she took a few steps in front of her, opened her hands to stop her outside the door, and stared at her with an unhappy face.

Old Mrs. Luo curled her lips and said, "Hey, girl, you're guarding against thieves." After saying that, she stood on tiptoe to look inside without giving up.

Qingsheng, who was feeding the horses in the stable, immediately walked over and stood in front of Old Lady Luo, looking down at her coldly.

"Old lady, are you leaving by yourself? Or should I take you away?"

The cold tone made Old Lady Luo shudder. Seeing Qingsheng's tall and burly figure, she felt a little timid because he looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.

After hesitating for a moment, she curled her lips, turned around and left, muttering, "If you don't want to watch, then don't watch. Why scare people? When my nephew comes back, I'll ask him to arrest you and put you in jail. Humph..."

Old Mrs. Luo's voice was very soft, but Lin Shuyue heard it all, but she didn't take it to heart.

Most of the people living in this area of ​​the northern city are wealthy families or minor officials. The nephew that Old Lady Luo mentioned should be the latter.

After returning to the study to finish writing the letter home that she had not finished writing in the morning and sending it out, she took Qinghe and Qingzhi out.

The carriage left the alley and turned into another alley before arriving at the main street. On both sides of the main street were various shops, restaurants, and pharmacies....

"Miss, why do I see so few vendors setting up stalls or carrying poles on the street?"

Qingzhi lifted the curtain and looked outside.

"This is the inner city. The inhabitants are either high-ranking officials or wealthy families. It is definitely different from other places. Did you see those patrolling officers?"

If the city of Wuzhou is compared to an ordinary residential area, then the inner city of the capital is a villa area, which is prosperous but not messy, and safer.

Lin Shuyue went out this time mainly to check out the restaurants in the capital. She planned to open another Xunweilou in the capital.

If all goes well, Lin Shuyan should be able to obtain the title of scholar this year. After taking part in the provincial examination in August next year, the year after will be the spring examination held every three years. At that time, he will definitely have to go to Beijing to take the exam, and someone from his family will definitely have to go with him.

Of course, if he failed the exam, she would persuade Lin Shuyan to stay in Beijing to study, because Wuzhou could not compare with Beijing in terms of the quality and quantity of books or famous teachers.

Our Xunweilou restaurant has been doing very well since its opening, and the branch in Wuzhou Prefecture is also on track.

Therefore, no matter from the perspective of Xunweilou's development or timing, it is inevitable to open another Xunweilou in Beijing.

However, after visiting the main streets of the east, west and north districts of the inner city and Yumen Street, she found that most of the restaurants in the inner city, as she said in her previous life, were high-end, and there were fewer restaurants for the common people.

She went to the pawnshop again, and the broker told her that the restaurants in the inner city were extremely expensive, and most of them had some relationship with officials in the capital, so those restaurants were usually not sold to the outside world.

Even if she was lucky enough to meet him, as soon as there was any news, the managers of those wealthy families would come and Lin Shuyue would not be able to compete with them at all.

However, the broker did have one or two smaller shops, which were originally small restaurants or teahouses. The location was not as good as those two-story restaurants. Even such a small shop cost nearly a thousand taels.

After leaving the dental clinic, Lin Shuyue sat in the carriage and looked at the carriages coming and going outside. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Qingsheng, let's go to the outer city to take a look."

"Yes, ma'am."

This is Yu'an Street. If you keep walking straight ahead, you will reach Jichuan Gate. After exiting Jichuan Gate, you will reach the outer city.

Unlike the inner city, as soon as you arrive in the outer city you can hear the hawkers' shouts, the waiters in restaurants and hotels inviting customers, pedestrians on the street, horse-drawn carriages carefully avoiding pedestrians, and hawkers carrying loads on their shoulders. It is a bustling place with people.

Qingsheng drove the carriage forward avoiding pedestrians. When passing an alley, Lin Shuyue glanced at the other end of the alley and asked Qingsheng to stop the carriage. She also gave him some money and asked him to go to the bun shop in front to buy some steamed buns.

When Qingsheng came back with a cloth bag of steamed buns, Lin Shuyue got off the carriage and walked into the alley.

When they saw five beggars squatting on the ground at the other end of the alley, the confused Qingsheng, Qinghe and Qingzhi suddenly realized what was going on.

Xiao Dengzi lowered his head and drew random lines on the ground with a stone, listening to the complaints of his friends next to him. There were two bloody marks on his face, which were caused by the scratches of the bad guys from Dongmiao when they came to steal the coarse flour buns that he and his friends had begged for today.

As he listened, the complaints beside him suddenly stopped, and then he smelled the sweetness of steamed buns.

At this time, a light blue skirt appeared in front of him. He looked up curiously and saw a sister who was more beautiful than Sister Huaying standing in front of them.

"Who... who are you? What do you want to do?"

The tallest beggar, who had a blue birthmark at the corner of his eye and looked about eleven or twelve years old, stood up and opened his arms to protect the other beggars behind him, staring at Lin Shuyue and Qingsheng and others beside her with a vigilant look on his face.

But his trembling voice and somewhat nervous expression betrayed him.

Looking at these children wearing tattered clothes, barefoot, pale and thin, with injuries on their bodies, like frightened young animals, Lin Shuyue felt a little sad. She whispered, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

"I just want to find someone to know about the restaurants and shops in the outer city. If you are willing to tell me, I will give you this bag of steamed buns."

She pointed at the bag of steamed buns that Qingsheng was holding, and Qingsheng opened the cloth bag at the right time, revealing the steaming white buns.

“Gurgle…Gurgle…”

These children had not eaten anything all day. When they saw the steamed buns, their eyes suddenly lit up, their mouths couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and their stomachs started singing the "Empty City Strategy".

"You...are you telling the truth? You really just want to ask some questions? You don't want to arrest us?"

The leading boy took his eyes off the steamed bun with difficulty and looked at Lin Shuyue with some trepidation.

When Qingzhi saw them, she couldn't help but think of her past experiences. Her nose felt a little sour, and she couldn't help but persuade them: "Don't be afraid, my young lady has the best heart, she's not a bad person."

The other children were already so greedy that they reached out and quietly pulled the leading boy. The boy looked back at them, thought for a moment, and asked cautiously, "What do you want to ask?"

Lin Shuyue bent down slightly and looked into the boy's eyes: "I want to ask which street in the outer city has more restaurants and hotels? Which restaurants are doing better business?"

The boy looked at her and replied, "Go south for a quarter of an hour after leaving this alley, then turn right and you will reach Nanjin Street, which has more restaurants and hotels. Oh, there are also restaurants on Dongxiang Street in the north, but there are more restaurants and inns on Dongxiang Street."

Lin Shuyue nodded, and signaled Qingsheng to distribute the steamed buns to the children. Qingsheng bought twelve steamed buns in total, and there were still some left over after each child got two.

The hungry children did not stuff the steamed buns into their mouths immediately after receiving them. Instead, they carefully held the steamed buns and licked them. After tasting the sweetness, they squinted their eyes happily. The boy in the lead even turned around and reminded them to eat slowly so as not to choke.
