Sitting on the cart going to Bachuan, Kang Kejing told Qiu Yong exactly what happened to him.
After the latter listened, he carefully compared his words with what he knew, and felt that what the young man in front of him said was true.
Qiu Yong said to Kang Kejing: "You are so bold. You go out without saying hello to your family. What if you meet a bad person?"
Kang Kejing ate the steamed cake and said, "I am not allowed to go out at home. I have no choice but to do it. I am really forced to do nothing."
Qiu Yong glanced at Kang Kejing and asked, "What are you going to do now? Why don't you write a letter and give it to Jinzou Academy and ask Shicheng Town to..."
Kang Kejing quickly swallowed the broken cake in her mouth and said: "Please show your respect. Kejing came to Datang through all the hardships just to go to Bachuan to fulfill my mother's wish."
Qiu Yong saw that Kang Kejing's face was injured and her clothes were much damaged, so he said helplessly: "That's fine, you can settle down in Bachuan first."
The carriage followed the official road to a fork and turned onto the road heading east. Kang Kejing suddenly found that the bumps had subsided slightly and the road conditions had improved a lot.
Stretching out his head, he found that the original bluestone pavement had turned into a smooth gray-white pavement.
Qiu Yong said: "Sit back, there will be some noise in front."
Kang Kejing was confused and looked forward, only to see a large number of refugees gathered on the roadside, at least hundreds of them.
These people were in ragged clothes and had sallow complexions. When they saw Bachuan's convoy, they crowded over and begged loudly for food.
Kang Kejing quickly put down the curtains and recalled what happened in the duckweed house yesterday, and couldn't help but turn pale.
Qiu Yong: "We drove them away several times before, but with little success. After a while, they gathered back again."
Kang Kejing nodded without saying a word.
The convoy moved forward for several more miles and passed a checkpoint. The surroundings were no longer noisy and the environment immediately became quiet.
Kang Kejing opened the curtain again and looked outside. On both sides of the road were bushes with fallen snow, which were neatly pruned, and servants were sweeping the snow to remove ice floes.
Further forward, there is a long corridor built with wooden beams, with blue tiles on the top and plum blossoms planted on both sides.
The carriage was driving along the corridor, no longer disturbed by the falling snow, and could enjoy the beautiful scenery of winter plum blossoms. Comparing what she had just seen, Kang Kejing could only feel that she had unknowingly arrived in another world.
The fragrance of plum blossoms lingered, snow fell, and the sound of music could be heard faintly in the distance.
Kang Kejing was so excited that she stood up and hit her head heavily on the car frame.
After rubbing her sore forehead, Kang Kejing sat down again.
The carriage walked another hundred meters, exited the promenade, and came to a courtyard full of flowers. At the end was a building with a height of more than ten meters, with four big characters written on it - Bachuan Market.
Qiu Yong ordered his men to stop the carriage and told his subordinates: "The young man from the Kang family is an honored guest. Take him to live in Xizhou Zhong Street so that he can be well served."
After saying that, Qiu Yong turned his head to Kang Kejing: "You go to the inn to change your clothes first, and then wash up."
Kang Kejing nodded vigorously and looked in the direction of the market with excitement on her face.
Qiu Yong left first. After returning to Bieyuan, he went to Pang Gong's courtyard in Bachuan Bieyuan and talked about Kang Kejing.
Pang Gong put down the book, frowned and asked: "Kang family? Kang family in Shicheng Town?"
Qiu Yong bowed and said yes.
Pang Gong thought about it carefully and said: "It's a good time, and...write this matter in a letter and send it to Liangzhou."
Qiu Yong responded.
Kang Kejing sat in the carriage and looked over. He saw that the Bachuan market was very busy, the winter snow lake scenery was breathtaking, and the guests coming and going were wearing silk and brocade clothes. In comparison, even Chang'anfang City was not as prosperous as here, and Shicheng Town was not as prosperous as here.
Not to mention.
Kang Kejing couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this Bachuan is really the residence of gods.
After entering the inn, Kang Kejing was arranged to enter the upper room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a maid who had been waiting for a long time.
That woman was dignified, beautiful, gentle, and different from any other woman Kang Kejing had ever seen in terms of temperament, words, and deeds.
If she didn't reveal her identity, Kang Kejing would mistake her for a noble lady who walked into the wrong door.
After helping Kang Kejing change his clothes and applying medicine, the woman said a blessing and left the room.
Kang Kejing looked at the closed door, and suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. He couldn't get a good rest at Duckweed House last night, so he simply stopped thinking about other things, went to bed directly, and fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep lasted six hours.
When Kang Kejing woke up again, there was already a bright moon and stars in the sky outside the window.
Unable to bear the hunger, Kang Kejing got out of bed, thinking that it was night now and there must be a curfew outside, so she could only rummage around the room looking for food.
There was a plate of colorful pastries on the table. He picked it up and ate two pieces when he heard a knock on the door.
I walked over and opened the door, and found that the woman standing outside was the maid from before.
At a loss, Kang Kejing could only imitate the Tang Dynasty people, bowed her hands, and then asked the other party's name.
The woman smiled and said to him: "My name is Danqing... We have prepared wine and food in the shop. Should we take them into the room or go to the hall to dine?"
Kang Kejing was stunned for a moment, then said: "Let's go to the hall to eat."
After leaving the room, he followed the stairs to the lobby and entered a private room with a curtain.
Kang Kejing sat down.
Not long after, Danqing brought a stack of food boxes, first put down the long trough, poured hot water into it, then placed the food boxes on top and opened the lid.
Four dishes and one soup, green, red, yellow and green, bright colors, but they are dishes that Kang Kejing has never seen before.
While placing the bowls and chopsticks, Danqing said: "Hualan mandarin fish, oily bean curd, crispy chicken, red mushrooms, and Bachuan first-class hotpot. They are all local specialties. You can try them."
Kang Kejing picked up her chopsticks and hesitated, not knowing which dish she should eat first.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.
After just one mouthful, Kang Kejing sat there blankly and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
There is no trace of fishy smell in the fish meat, which not only retains the freshness and tenderness of the ingredients, but also has the right flavor of seasonings and fireworks.

Danqing: "This is a unique cooking method in Bachuan, but you can't taste it in other places."
Kang Kejing let out a long sigh. If she leaves here in the future, she will never be able to eat again.
Danqing seemed to notice his concerns and said with a smile: "Rather than thinking about reliving beautiful things in the future, it is better to cherish the present."
This was reasonable. Kang Kejing took a deep look at Danqing and nodded lightly.
After this dinner, Kang Kejing finally knew what the word "delicious food" meant after living for so many years.
After having enough wine and food, Kang Kejing stayed in the private room to look for pictures and talk for a while.
The latter asked in surprise: "The sun has just set, why don't our guests go out for a walk?"
Kang Kejing said in surprise: "How can you go out under the curfew in the Tang Dynasty?"
Danqing: "There is no curfew in Bachuan. As long as the guests are willing, they can go anywhere. However, some houses are other people's residences, and the roads are difficult to walk at night. Just don't stray too far."
Kang Kejing opened her eyes wide: "There is no curfew in Bachuan?"
Seeing that Kang Kejing didn't believe it, Danqing stood up and opened the curtains of the elegant room.
A gust of wind and snow blew into the house, and the latter looked out the window. There were indeed bright lights in the distance, and people and music could be faintly heard.
Kang Kejing said in disbelief: "There is really no curfew... Bachuan is really a perfect place for leisure and fun. Whose name does such a rare Feng Shui treasure land belong to?"
Danqing: "Everything in Bachuan is the property of Zuojian Weimen General Pang Gong. However, this Bachuan was originally desolate, but it was possible to build it into what it is today, thanks to another person."
Kang Kejing: "Who is it?"
Danqing: "Zhou Jun, Tuesday Lang."
Zhou Jun?
Kang Kejing vaguely remembered the name, but no matter how carefully she recalled it, she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
