Chapter 462 The fight started
Yunyi smiled upon seeing this: "Oh, Mr. Guo, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"You silly girl, why didn't you look for me when you got to the capital?" Guo Song had already gotten off the carriage. "If I hadn't run into you, were you not even planning to tell me you were in the capital?"
"I just got back, and I've been so busy. That's why I didn't have time." Yunyi touched her nose a little guiltily. It wasn't that she didn't have time; she had simply forgotten.
"Since you're here, you should have a meal at my place. Yi Ning is already engaged to Young Master Xia, and they've already started the six-ticket ceremony. The wedding is set for next March..."
"Congratulations." Yun Yi felt even more guilty. Guo Yining had written to her to tell her before, but at that time she was preparing to go to the capital and didn't reply. "I was thinking of going to visit her after I settled down."
"There's no time like the present," Guo Song said hastily upon hearing this. "It just so happens that this place isn't far from where I live." He then instructed his servant to hurry back and report the news.
"Mr. Guo, Uncle Guo," Yunyi hurriedly stopped them, "I have something to do this afternoon. How about I go tomorrow?"
"Then it's settled."
"Of course! I also prepared a gift for Yi Ning, but I didn't bring it with me. I'll go tomorrow morning and have lunch at your house, is that alright?"
“Okay then.” Guo Song nodded hurriedly. “My home is at No. 7 Jishan Lane. When you get to that archway, go in and it’s the third house from the back.”
"Okay." Yunyi nodded.
Guo Song then said goodbye to Yun Yi and went to take care of his business.
Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief. The furniture distribution had allowed the Guo family to quickly establish themselves in the capital. No wonder they were grateful to her.
Seeing Yunyi's expression, Yunlu couldn't help but laugh: "This Mr. Guo is too enthusiastic, but Miss, I bet you've completely forgotten that the Guo family is also in the capital, haven't you?"
"Ah Lu, if we see through things but don't say anything, then we can be good sisters."
Yunlu smiled and said, "Miss, I was wrong."
"Then hurry up and buy your young lady a skewer of candied hawthorn, no, two skewers, and I'll forgive you."
"Yes, ma'am." Yunlu went and bought two strings of candied hawthorns. "Please enjoy, Miss."
"That string of beads is yours."
"Thank you for the generous gift, Miss."
Then they both laughed.
The East Market covers a large area, with three streets running east to west, each more than two miles long, and four streets running north to south, each about three miles long, arranged in a grid pattern.
There are shops and stalls here, all of which are long-term stalls that have been purchased with money, with a minimum term of three months. It's not a matter of who comes first and who takes it.
There are also dedicated parking lots outside the market. For five coins, someone will watch over the carriages and feed the animals. For an extra five coins, you can get fine materials and even have the animals bathed.
The service was very attentive.
Similarly, in the West Market, there was only a one-cent vehicle care service, and nothing else was provided. After all, the people who went there were ordinary folks who wouldn't be willing to spend money to let their livestock graze outside.
Yunyi strolled around while munching on candied hawthorns, occasionally asking about prices and buying some if they looked reasonable. Around noon, the two found a snack stall and ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles, along with two cold side dishes.
"Isn't this Miss Fang?" A voice came from halfway through the meal.
Yunyi muttered "bad luck" but didn't even look up, continuing to eat.
Yunlu ignored her and continued eating with her head down.
"Fang Yunyi, I'm talking to you." Han Lian'er came over and was about to overturn Yunyi's table.
Yunyi and Alu tacitly took the food and slipped away, even quietly touching the table. Then, with a crash, the table was overturned and landed on the table to the left.
There were three women at the next table, the one in the lead being a woman in white wearing a white veil.
The tables at this stall are very simple. When one of these tables was smashed, it knocked down the table next to it.
Those three people were clearly skilled in martial arts, so they weren't injured. However, this was a noodle stall, and it sold soup noodles. They could avoid the tables and chairs, but they couldn't avoid the soup and broth.
The two maids were alright; one was dressed in black and the other in red, so even if soup splashed on them, it wasn't too noticeable. Only the mistress in the white veil was in a sorry state, covered in obvious stains. Coincidentally, there was even a noodle about an inch long hanging from her veil...
Yunyi and Yunlu, each holding a bowl of noodles in one hand and a small plate of cold dishes in the other, stepped aside. For convenience, they simply poured the cold dishes into the noodles separately, put the plates down, and then ate while watching the commotion, each holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other.
Han Lian'er didn't expect Yun Yi to dodge, and she didn't expect her to be so strong that she could overturn the table so far. For a moment, she felt guilty.
Actually, if she had taken the initiative to apologize and compensate, and had a better attitude, it wouldn't have been such a big deal. However, Miss Han is used to being domineering and bullying others. Even if she was wrong, so what? Who would dare to do anything to her?
"This is compensation for you." A girl who clearly knew martial arts walked over and threw a silver ingot in front of the group.
This was a maid Han Lian'er had just replaced who knew martial arts. She had faced Ning Wushuang several times, but because her own maid didn't know kung fu, she had suffered losses. So, she asked Consort Chen to give her a female bodyguard, but she put her in the open as a maid and named her Qing Tuan.
The woman in white seemed to laugh in exasperation.
The maid in black picked up the silver ingot and threw it back.
It looks like a light, effortless movement, but anyone who knows martial arts would realize that the silver ingot is loaded with power. If it hits you, you'll either die or have your bones broken.
Qing Tuan was a former bodyguard, so his skills were naturally quite good. He noticed it too, so he quickly reached out to catch it and then threw it back.
And so, the two started fighting.
Yunyi quickly moved to the side, afraid of being affected. Of course, she didn't forget to eat her noodles, since she had paid for them and couldn't waste them.
Yunlu naturally moved along with it.
"Who do you think will win?" Yunyi asked Yunlu.
"The two are evenly matched, but the one next to Miss Han should also be a former bodyguard."
Yun Yi sipped her soup: "That Consort Chen really dotes on this big lotus flower." But it's true that like master, like maid; if Han Lian'er continues like this, she'll probably be out of the picture soon.
The two were fighting fiercely, and the entire noodle stall was completely ruined. All the customers left, and of course, some kind-hearted people reported it to the authorities.
Because the East and West Markets are crowded every day, the Five Cities Garrison has set up patrol points here to ensure they can respond quickly in case of disputes.
Coincidentally, the person who came today was Lu Chengyu, the commander of the Five Cities Garrison.
