Chapter 9

The aunt looked at Shen Jingyuan who was dressed as a beggar and didn't feel disgusted, she just smiled and said: "Little girl, I get two coins for vegetables and four coins for meat."

Shen Jingyuan was shocked: "So expensive?!"

The aunt who set up the stall pointed to the plaque on the city wall not far away: "This is Kyoto, girl, every inch of land in Kyoto is expensive, and my stall here costs two hundred cash a month, and the flour I use is also the best." Yes, four pennies is the normal price! Steamed buns are one and a half pennies, do you want it?"

The delicious meat buns on the steamer made Shen Jingyuan salivate.

Who eats steamed buns?How is that different from batter?
But a meat bun is Siwen, which is an astronomical figure for her.

Shen Jingyuan was dejected and could only settle for the next best thing, took out four Wen coins and pointed at the vegetable buns: "I want two."

Ying Hao, the lady who set up the stall, grabbed two vegetable bags and handed them to her.

Shen Jingyuan turned around and handed one of them to the boy: "Eat it."

Along the way, Shen Jingyuan relied on the meat pancakes given by Li Shang and Ai Lao to eat and drink, and now she pays for his vegetable buns out of her own pocket.

The 12-hearted Li Shang took the vegetable bun and ate it and said, "You gave it to me voluntarily, and I won't count it in the taels you owe me."

Shen Jingyuan was speechless: "Yes, yes, I did it voluntarily, it doesn't count as offset."

The two walked into the crowd in Kyoto eating delicious vegetable buns, but the aunt who set up the stall frowned and looked at the disappearing figure and muttered, "I seem to have seen that little girl somewhere."

After Shen Jingyuan ate the vegetable buns and Li Shang, she went to find where the reward order in Kyoto was.

Now that the angelica is gone, and Shen Jingyuan can't afford to pay back the money owed to him for the time being, Li Shang can only do a reward order to earn money to buy the angelica again.

Li Shang fawned over the inquiry, took Shen Jingyuan and walked to the south of the city, stood in front of the notice board where the reward order was issued, looked at all the tasks, and finally uncovered the bottom one.

Looking for a cat, the cat's body is white, its eyes are like glass, and there is a golden bell around its neck.

On the second day, Lai Qian looked at Shen Jingyuan, who was looking for cats with Li Shang, very puzzled: "Aren't you going back to the capital?"

Shen Jingyuan only felt that the money was as stupid as a pig: "How do I return it? Go to the prime minister's mansion openly and say that I am the missing lady in the mansion? How can your IQ be such a wise and powerful god's weapon like me?"

Shen Jingyuan walked the streets with Li Shang, looked around and said: "Zhao Jinjin is living outside, born stupid, how to recover the intelligence, how to get back to the capital, everything will make them suspicious, I go back by myself brightly, my mind is fine People will think that there is something wrong with me, and I will go back by myself when I am full."

"What I want is for them to find it themselves, because my current character set... is Zhao Jinjin who has regained his intelligence but lost his memory."

Shen Jingyuan smiled and looked at the sky: "Zhao Yong is only Zhao Jinjin's daughter. His power is below one person and above ten thousand people. He can even cover the sky with one hand. He is very affectionate. He and his wife, Qin Huairong, raised their eyebrows on the same level. I didn't take a concubine, and I tried my best to conceive such a child. Jinjin, Jinjin, Jinxiu, Jinxiu and prosperity, how much he loves and loves Zhao Jinjin to take such a name, so I am in Kyoto, Tibet It won't be long."

Lai Qian cannot deny that Shen Jingyuan is right.

"Zhao Jinjin? Why are you in a daze again?"

Li Shang approached suddenly, startling Shen Jingyuan. The young man raised his eyebrows and said to her, "With your ecstatic and dazed personality, can you earn a gold or two in ten years?"

The boy was 15 years old, half a head taller than her, and looked down at her with his arms folded and looked down with a bit of aura: "Don't forget how much you owe me."

The girl pouted: "I will pay you back."

The two ended their topic and continued to look for cats. Last night they fell asleep against the corner of the city wall, because the inn was too expensive, and the worst room cost yuan a night. They couldn't afford it, so Shen Jingyuan proposed to stay overnight As for other families, because they looked too down and out, they were turned away and suffered a lot of blank stares. In the end, there was no way. Unable to blend in, and even almost got a beating.

The two could only walk and walk until they reached a dead end in an alley, leaning against a cold corner of the wall and falling asleep leaning on each other in the cold wind.

Today they can only have a place to rest if they find the cat.

It's a pity, if this cat is so easy to find, it won't stay on the notice board of the reward order for a month.

Yes, this cat has been lost for a whole month, and no one knows whether it is dead or alive.

All day long, Li Shang and Shen Jingyuan wandered around the streets and alleys of the capital. They saw many cats and dogs, but there was no one wearing a white neck and a golden bell.

He didn't eat in the morning, he didn't eat at noon, and it was late in the evening when Li Shang took Shen Jingyuan to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

Ten cents a bowl, divided into two portions, there was a curfew when the two of them finished eating, so they had to go back to the dead end last night.

The early autumn of previous years has never been so cold, Shen Jingyuan's petite body curled up together, her hands were frozen stiff, Li Shang held her hands in the package without changing his face, but the roots of his ears were red in the dark night.

She can no longer be sick.

He couldn't help it.

Thinking of this, Li Shang faced the entrance of the alley to block the cold wind, lowered his head and said to the shivering girl, "Go to sleep, it won't be cold when you sleep."

The girl looked up at him: "Li Shang, thank you very much."

The boy's heart beat suddenly in the cold autumn night, and no one knew what was on his mind at the moment.

It has been a few days since they came to the capital, but Li Shang and Shen Jingyuan still haven't found the lost white cat. They had to think about giving up and going to see if there are other tasks.

Thousands of rewards were offered, and Li Shang saw a man who helped catch a dog. He caught a vicious dog in Baimin Alley. This vicious dog can bite people. It often lives in the deep alley of Baimin Alley. It is so big that it can bite off human flesh with one bite. He has a bad habit of yelling and disturbing the people in various alleys late at night, so many people don't get tired of it.

One of the families offered money and issued a reward order. If someone caught the vicious dog, they would return two hundred copper coins.

Two hundred wen is much less than the white cat of ten taels of silver, but it is enough money for Li Shang to relieve his urgent needs.

He took off the reward without hesitation, but Shen Jingyuan disagreed.

Vicious dogs are vicious, what should we do if there is an accident?In case of being injured at that time, the money spent will be uncountable.

However, Li Shang made up his mind, and that night he went to a place where vicious dogs often come and go, but unexpectedly found a surprise there.

In the dilapidated den behind the vicious dog, a snow-white cat with a golden bell on its neck was sleeping in it. The vicious dog looked back at it, then turned and left the alley.

The two were overjoyed after being shocked,

Li Shang turned around: "It's important to catch the cat."
