Chapter 388: Chapter 388: The Old Man and Old Lady Experience the Grandeur of a Rich Horse Carriage Chapter 388: Chapter 388: The Old Man and Old Lady Experience the Grandeur of a Rich Horse Carriage Indeed, there were three horse carriages in the stable, and Shopkeeper Yan directly offered them the newest and most luxurious one,
“This horse carriage bears the emblem of our Dongsheng Tavern. No matter which branch you visit, you’ll receive first-class guest treatnt,”
Bai Junjun, who was most afraid of owing favors, felt obliged to promise to bring sothing nice for Shopkeeper Yan next ti.
What Bai Junjun intended to give was waterlon jam, but since the jam was stored in the “Space”, it wasn’t practical to take it out on the spot, so she could only agree to deliver it next ti.
Upon hearing there would be a thank-you gift, Shopkeeper Yan beca both happy and excited, “Then I’ll be looking forward to it.”
Thus, the two unexpectedly acquiring the horse carriage left the city cheerfully.
Before they left, the County Magistrate didn’t forget to have two jars of rice wine, sent from the grain and oil store, placed in their carriage.
Watching the horse carriage disappear at the Dai County city gate, the County Magistrate reluctantly walked back, muttering as he went, “It would have been nice if the two Knights-Errant stayed in our county.”
Shopkeeper Yan chuckled, “Why don’t you just invite them? Treat them with official hospitality and offer them good lands and beautiful houses.”
“Although that’s a good idea, Knights-Errant have always regarded wealth as dirt. Wouldn’t my offer be abrupt? I need to think it over,” the County Magistrate replied.
The two chattered endlessly as they each went back to their own hos.
Outside, having a horse indeed made a difference; the two didn’t need to use their Special Ability anymore. They only had to wave the small whip and direct the horse to run forward.
Although the horse carriage given by Shopkeeper Yan was not as good as Li Wenli’s previous carriage, it was already considered top-notch for ordinary people.
Soon, they returned to Xinding Village.
At that ti, it just so happened to coincide with the villagers—uncles and aunts—returning ho from work. All the old n and old won were stunned to see a luxurious large horse carriage coming their way.
My goodness, what’s with the village these days, seeing nobles one after another?
The crowd exchanged glances.
However, when they squinted their old eyes for a closer look, they realized that those on the horse carriage were not strangers but the Fox lad and Miss Little Bear!
At that mont, Miss Little Bear on the carriage was enthusiastically waving at them.
The crowd was speechless because of the large horse carriage for a long ti before soone finally asked, “Did you… did you run into family mbers?”
“Not today. We just took a round in the county town, and the proprietress of Dongsheng Tavern lent us this horse carriage. Co aboard, everyone. We’ll give you a ride,” replied Miss Little Bear as she deftly jumped down to help the elderly aboard.
These old n and old won had ridden in ox carts, donkey carts, and flatbeds before but never in a horse carriage, especially not one as luxurious as this, with windows, curtains, and even a small tea table inside.
Everyone looked at it as if it were a rare object, imnsely curious.
“My, my, what a lavish indulgence of a rich family!”
“So this is what a horse carriage looks like on the inside. Oh boy, I hope my muddy shoes don’t soil it.”
An old man noticed that there were rugs laid inside the carriage, and so he instantly lifted his feet.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, lifting their feet as well, but they soon found it too tiring and so simply took off their shoes.
Yet their bare feet were still very dirty, hardly any cleaner than wearing shoes.
The discomfort made them feel neither able to stand nor sit properly.
Fortunately, there were only a few hundred ters left to the village, and upon reaching the village entrance, the people hurriedly disembarked as if granted amnesty.
They decided that they would rather not experience such aristocratic things again in the future.
Initially, curiosity and vanity were satisfied upon boarding, but afterwards, they felt uneasy, fearing they might soil or damage sothing and have to pay for it.
Watching the elderly who seed to have survived a great ordeal, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli couldn’t help but laugh.
