Chapter 455: A Woman Disguised as a Man
After returning to the inn, Gu Fei locked herself in the room, looked at the map, and compared it with the map of her previous life.
Nanjiang borders the Nanzhao Kingdom, in the southwest of the Great Ying Dynasty, more than 4,000 miles away from Ping'an City. Even if she travels 300 miles a day, it will take more than ten days to get there.
She first had to buy a horse. The teleportation distance was too short and it consumed too much mental energy, so it was not suitable for long distances.
She also had to buy a few men's clothes, medicinal materials, dry food and dried meat.
Gu Fei made plans and went to the kitchen first to ask Sister Hua to prepare some dried meat and dry food for her, and then asked Lian'er to go to the store next door to buy her a few men's clothes.
She went to the government office and spent one or two silver coins to get a pass.
The pass is very important. Gu Fei now knows very well that anyone who stays in the inn must take out the pass to register.
She put the pass into the space and went to the pharmacy at the end of the street to buy some gold wound medicine, anti-miasma medicine, and mosquito bite medicine.
The climate in the southwest is hot and humid, and the miasma is heavy, so these things are useful.
Then Gu Fei went to the South City and spent fifty taels of silver to buy a brown mare with a gentle temperament and a tall body.
After leading the horse back to the backyard, Gu Fei called Lian'er into the room and explained everything to her carefully.
"I have to go to southern Xinjiang to look for my third brother. This trip will take at least one or two months, and at most three or five months. Although my second brother is looking after the store, I'm afraid he is not as good as you in business. If there is anything, you should give more advice."
She thought for a while, "If you encounter something that you really can't make up your mind about, you can go to the next door to find Mr. Zhou for advice. He is an old businessman, so it's right to listen to him."
Lian'er nodded and hesitated for a moment, "Miss, why don't I go with you, otherwise, no one will serve you along the way."
Gu Fei shook her head, "No, I'm not that delicate, I don't need anyone to serve me."
After explaining to Lian'er, Gu Fei went into the kitchen and filled the water bag with boiled water. Sister Hua hurriedly said, "There is no time to make dried meat, so I made a big pot of salt-fried beef, which is not easy to spoil."
While talking, Sister Hua took a small jar to put the beef.
Lian'er quickly wrapped a stack of pancakes and handed them to Gu Fei.
Gu Fei returned to her room with the things in her arms, took out a fresh-keeping box from the space and packed the beef, leaving the jar behind.
She also put the pancakes into the space.
Then she took a look at the spiritual liquid in the space, and found that there was only half a bowl left. After thinking for a while, Gu Fei took out a jade bottle and put the spiritual liquid in, and then went to Old Zheng's house again.
She still had the profits from the silver shop, rouge shop, and grain and oil shop this month, which added up to more than four thousand taels. Gu Fei rounded up the profits and bought another five thousand silver worth of jade and dragged it back to the inn.
After putting the jade in the space, Gu Fei changed into a royal blue robe and a pair of thick-soled soap boots.
Then she let her hair down and tied it on top of her head.
When she looked in the mirror, she could tell at a glance that she was a woman dressed as a man.
Gu Fei took out her cosmetics, thickened her eyebrows, and used shadow powder to sweep around her lips to pretend to have a mustache.
Although the person in the mirror still didn't look like a man, Gu Fei tried her best.
Gu Fei walked out with a bag with several sets of clothes in it slung over her shoulder.
Lian'er stood outside with a heavy heart. She was worried that Gu Fei would travel alone, but she couldn't help the young lady. She couldn't ride a horse and had no martial arts skills.
Seeing Gu Fei open the door and come out, Lian'er was stunned for a moment. Gu Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Do I look like a man?"
