Chapter 51
Jiang Sui: "..." The shopkeeper of this inn is very aggressive.
His eyes slanted a little, and he looked at the "clearly priced" brand that the shopkeeper just said by himself, how exactly is the price clearly marked?
Seeing this, his eyeballs widened following the price tag on the sign.A room in Tianzihao is 30 taels, and an ordinary room is 80 taels. The total is [-] taels of silver. This calculation is correct, but the price is simply——
It's expensive.
Could it be that the shopkeeper wants to take them for granted?
From behind, Sun Xun, who came over curiously, took a closer look, stared at him, his eyes were also widened, his face was full of disbelief, and he breathed in and shouted: "A Tianzihao upper room... Three, 30 taels? One room Ordinary guest rooms...Ten taels? There is a clear price tag, is there anyone with a price like this? An ordinary room is ten taels. Where is the inn you open? I think it is a black shop?!"
"Ah...what's the matter? Didn't the young master look at the name of my shop before entering the shop?"
"Look, the inn." The red lanterns were pasted with big words.
As soon as Sun Xun finished speaking, he turned his head and saw the maids in the inn pursing their lips and covering their mouths smiling, not sure what it meant?
Jiang Sui heard that the shopkeeper seemed to have something to say, went out to have a look, and was slightly dumbfounded.
"Hei, shop?"
How could there be an inn with that name?
Or is it so upright that it hangs under the eaves in a grand manner?
It seemed to be afraid that the guests staying in the inn would not be able to see the true meaning of the name of the inn, so a few smaller words were marked below.
——Children are not deceived.
Jiang Sui muttered to himself incomprehensibly, and then several people who came out also stared straight at each other, staring at the horizontal plaque above their heads in dismay.
They just went in after looking at the words "Inn on the lantern", and it was night again, so they really didn't pay attention to what was written on the plaque above their heads?
"Well, can't we live in a hotel? I, I have money... I can pay for the room myself."
Just as Sun Xun hesitated to open his mouth, he felt a pat on the back.
Jiang Sui glared angrily and said, "What kind of hotel are you staying in? Didn't you see that it costs [-] taels for an ordinary room? Are you panicking about burning too much money?"
"But you don't live in a shop? We're going to sleep on the top of the mountain...the barren mountains are full of poisonous insects, snakes and ants...you can't get enough to eat."
Jiang Sui paused, as if what he said was true, then turned his gaze to his prince.
Mu Fuyu was also made dizzy by the strange name of this inn, looking at the huge plaque above his head, the two flamboyant and phoenix characters painted in gold, and the four-character commentary "Children without deception" underneath.
Is this for fear that others will not know that this is a black shop?So mark it out, so as to convince people with sincerity?
"Go and pay the money." After all, the price is also clearly marked, just like the innkeeper said, live if you like it, and get out if you don't like it!
If you think it's expensive, you can leave immediately. If you want to live, don't think it's expensive. There's nothing wrong with it.
"Have the guest officials discussed it? Do you want to stay in the inn? My inn is about to close."
Feng Sanniang is holding a round fan, moving her lotus steps lightly, graceful and graceful.
"Ma'am..."
"What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost?"
Jiang Suigang nodded and finished staying in the inn. He didn't want the surname Chen to suddenly point to the shopkeeper of the inn, with an exaggerated and shocked expression than when he heard the sky-high rent just now?
"You know the innkeeper?"
"Uncle, uncle... aunt?"
Afterwards, Jiang Sui found that Princess Jiayi also had a shocked expression, staring blankly at the innkeeper.
correct?Just now Princess Jiayi seemed to have called——uncle, mother?
Isn't Princess Jiayi's aunt the current court... Jiang Sui gasped in vain, could this be the empress dowager?
"Looking at the unwell faces of the guest officials, don't you know Sanniang?"
Princess Jiayi was the first to nod and said, "Boss, do you look like my aunt?"
Feng Sanniang smiled sweetly: "So that's the case, little girl, what's wrong? Do I look like your aunt?"
"It looks like it! It looks like it!"
"For the sake of your sweet tongue and being so eloquent, I will give you a discount for staying in the hotel today. The four rooms will charge you a total of 79 taels."
Jiang Sui, who took out the money, never expected to get a tael cheaper. With the mentality that he could make money by paying a tael less, he followed the shopkeeper to the counter to pay the rent.
In Tianzihao guest room;
Mu Fuyu glanced at the little emperor who was in a trance. In fact, when he saw the face of the innkeeper downstairs, he was really shocked.
If the woman named Feng Sanniang is only based on her appearance, she really looks very much like the queen mother in the palace. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is exactly the same?
But Mu Fuyu didn't recognize them as the same person. Although Feng Sanniang and the Queen Mother look very similar, one is graceful and elegant, and the other is charming.
The faces are almost the same, but the temperament of the two people is very different, very different.
Dong Linfeng came back to his senses when Fuyu glanced at him with his small eyes, without any hesitation, he asked what he was thinking: "Fuyu, what do you think? This Feng Sanniang... could she be my mother's younger sister?" ?”
"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
"But... I've never heard of her, did you mention it?" Dong Linfeng smiled bitterly, his low voice was slightly dull, "There are only a handful of times we meet each other between mother and child... It seems that since I can remember , her health has always been poor, and she has been recuperating all year round... lingering on the sick bed."
"She was afraid that I would get sick. As long as she had a headache, she would not let me go to see her. I thought she was not in good health, so I never went against her wishes."
"As I grew up, her body got better, and the relationship between our mother and son returned to normal. The mother is kind and the son is filial."
"You should be past the age of longing for maternal love by now, right?"
Dong Linfeng: "..."
"A man, can you be more broad-minded. It's not like a girl, every day... Where do you get so much sentimentality?"
"I'm... just, disappointed."
"She's going to kill you. If you're not disappointed, don't you want to laugh?"
Dong Linfeng couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, the sadness of disappointment disappeared in an instant.
"Fuyu, you are really... able to speak well."
"I still have a lot of opportunities, and I will let you see them one by one when I have a chance in the future."
Dong Linfeng was speechless for a while listening to this meaningful sentence, thinking about going back to his career every day, and only wanted to rebel and cause trouble.
Just... the plot is more important than him, alas!
"I want to stay in this inn for two more days, Fuyu, what do you think?"
"Are you rich? Is the few liang of money you sell yourself enough to pay for the rent of Tianzihao's guest room?"
Dong Linfeng: "..." It's really not enough.
"I have money, I can lend it to you first, and remember to pay it back twice."
Dong Linfeng said helplessly: "I'll pay you back... ten times, okay? Uh... Floating jade? You... What are you doing?"
"There is no evidence for what you say, of course you have to make an IOU."
"indeed."
Mu Fuyu studied the ink and wrote an IOU. It was quite satisfying to see the little emperor write down his name and put his handprint on it very wittily.
With money in his pocket, Dong Linfeng took the bank note to Feng Sanniang the next day to pay the rent for another two days.
Feng Sanniang was a bit surprised when she heard that the people who stayed in the hotel last night would stay for another two days, but at that moment, she glanced at the bank notes on the table and knocked on the round fan in her hand. Next to the sign: "Look at the bottom."
Seeing this, Dong Linfeng turned to look sideways, this look... His face was a little dark.
Because it says at the bottom: This shop only accepts gold and silver as payment, and all silver bills are not accepted!
"Is there a bank nearby?"
"Along another [-] miles along the official road in front, you will find Taohua Town, where there is a bank."
"How did you pay the bill last night?"
"That young master exchanged 100 taels of silver bills for 90 taels of cash at my place."
After hearing the explanation, Dong Linfeng couldn't help asking: "Didn't you just say that you don't accept cashier tickets?"
"I don't have a cashier's receipt, what I receive is cash."
It's okay if you don't listen to the explanation, but after hearing the explanation, Dong Linfeng's face turned darker, and he lowered his voice: "Aren't you afraid that someone will go to the government office to sue you if you open a shop like this?"
"I put a knife on your neck and let you stay in the hotel?"
"That's not it."
"Since that's the case, what crime have I committed? If you like me, I will stay here and leave. If you don't like living here, then... leave."
Feng Sanniang pointed to the gate, and shook the round fan lightly, probably meaning that it was easy to leave.
In the end, Dong Linfeng gritted his teeth and exchanged the cash, and paid the rent for two days.
Chen Jiang's duo, who went out to buy a carriage in Taohua Town, returned to the inn, and when they heard His Majesty say they would stay for another two days, they couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes full of pain, yes!Another 200 taels of silver flew away.
In order not to let the money go to waste, the two of them wandered around the inn like ghosts for the past two days.In addition to the four waitresses, there are only three cooks in the back kitchen and two aunts who cook the fire, and there are only eleven people in this black shop inn.
The two of them originally planned to see if they could get their words out of the mouths of these shop girls, so they went to wander around the four shop girls of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum from time to time, but the four shop girls were too tight-lipped and couldn't ask anything very useful. news.
The duo of Chen Jiang, who had failed in the routine just now, found a stone pier to sit down in dejection.
"It's already the third day. If we don't get any more news today, we will have another large sum of money to fly tomorrow." Jiang Sui felt heartbroken whenever he thought of another large sum of rent tomorrow.
"How about we go directly to the shopkeeper?"
Jiang Sui thought about it for two days and didn't ask anything, so why not just ask?Maybe... Shopkeeper Jiafeng was in a good mood, so he told them.
Statement is not optimistic about Jiang Sui's stupid method at all, and pointed to his waist: "Why don't you check first, is there enough money in your purse for you to ask a few questions?"
Jiang Sui fumbled for the purse, his expression suddenly became a little ferocious, and after a while, he began to sigh: "I have never lived in an ordinary room with a room of ten taels of silver, black! Shop!"
The statement also sighed, thinking of the victim at the same time, he comforted: "Who is not? My salary is not enough to live in an ordinary room for a day."
After a pause, he said again: "I listen to you, let's ask directly. What do you really want to ask? You can ask for a reward later."
Hearing this, Jiang Sui managed to raise his spirits a bit: "Half for each person... the money spent."
Without further ado, as soon as the two arrived at the inn lobby, they saw the shopkeeper Feng they were looking for talking and laughing happily with King Su.
