Chapter 801: The Rain Stops
Yunlai Inn is full of guests, the shopkeeper is busy every day without touching the ground, the guests of the three courtyards of Song, Mei and Lan are living in before the heavy rain, they can be regarded as good guests, the room money is not in arrears, and they will not order any big dishes in the middle of the night, they open a small stove by themselves, and they will smell the fragrance of vegetables wafting out from the outside of the three courtyards every day, and the index finger of the mouth is moved!
It's a pity that you can't ask them to buy recipes! Otherwise, your inn will definitely add several famous dishes.
The Song family, who lives in the chrysanthemum courtyard, still has no peace, but compared to Aunt Wang's health as before, it is much better, although the children are noisy, but after a while, they will play together affectionately.
In addition to three meals, there are also fixed snacks and supper, the Song family is rich and rich, and the reward guys are not soft, it is really a good guest, but it is a little bad, it is really unlucky to say.
They have been doing business for so long in the inn, and no guest has died in the inn, and the Song family has given them a good start, which is really unlucky!
I heard the guy in the chrysanthemum courtyard say that it was the maid who committed the crime who died, because she accidentally spilled it while serving hot water, not only splashed herself, but also affected a very favored aunt.
Do you mean that these old men go out when they go far away, why do they still take their concubines with them? The main room doesn't speak? That aunt will also toss when she hears it, and she has given birth to two sons and a daughter, and her sons have become their own sons, and she is still restless.
I heard from the guys that this second master Song went out with his wife and sons, to support his widowed daughter, who knew that the aunt was desperate to follow, and now something happened!
The shopkeeper held an umbrella and walked quickly across the road, and several families living in the bamboo courtyard made trouble again, these families are all rich families on the rich side, but there are people outside the people! Not to mention that compared with the guests living in the three courtyards of Songyuan, they are all more difficult than the Song family!
can't afford to use their financial resources, and they want to use their power to oppress people, but they don't have power, so they can only huddle together aggrievedly!
It's just that the juniors in the family are inevitably uneasy, sometimes just to fight for the order of the food to be delivered, they can also make their faces red and their necks thick, if it doesn't rain, everyone doesn't have to stay in the house!
But if the rain really stopped, these guests would no longer stay with them! Alas, the shopkeeper who was once again brought in to deal with the dispute couldn't help but shake his head.
It would be nice if the guests in the inn were like the guests in the Songyuan, and no matter how bad they were, they would be fine like the Song family! In short, it would be better to have fewer guests like those who lived in the Bamboo Courtyard and the Yuyuan Courtyard.
Liu Er, who was sitting in the gatehouse of the Plum Courtyard drinking tea, watched the shopkeeper hurry forward with his guys, and walked out curiously to look at the direction they were going.
Seeing Liu Er get up, he also walked out, seeing that Liu Er was curious about the whereabouts of the shopkeeper, he thought for a while, "It seems that the families who live in the bamboo courtyard are making trouble again." ”
"Trouble again?"
In fact, there are many people living in the inn, no matter how good the chefs in the kitchen are, it is impossible to serve all the guests' meals at the same time, it is inevitable to divide the order, but a few families who live in the bamboo courtyard are making trouble every day for the order of serving food in the kitchen, all of them are scrambling, but they are stingy to pay for rewards.
If they are more generous, the guys will naturally find a way to send them meals first in order to reward the silver, but unfortunately the gentlemen of these households are stingy, a penny to tie twenty-four knots, and they are greedy for a small bargain, they just want to enjoy the happiness and refuse to pay, the guys are here to do things to make money, there is no reward, naturally it is the same as others, there is no special preferential treatment to enjoy.
This truth, even he, the gatekeeper, knows it, and it doesn't make sense that these men who do big things don't understand, right?
Liu Er smiled, "Just watch the jokes, just care about them so much." ”
The porter nodded and smiled, "What the second master said is that it should be a joke." ”
When Liu Er turned his head to go back to the house, he was stopped by someone raising his voice.
"Hey, that guy over there, wait a minute, hey, hey, tell you to wait a minute! Didn't you hear? Deaf?" Liu Er and the porter turned their heads to look at the person who came, who was a woman in her forties, and there were two teenage maids beside her.
Those two girls are beautiful and beautiful, and they have good looks, so I don't know who this woman is and what she means?
"I said you, are you deaf, aren't you? Why shouldn't I have screamed when I have been calling you for most of the day?"
Uh, hehe, when did this woman call them for most of the day? and they didn't know her, so why should they answer her?
"Do you know that old lady Zhang lives in that courtyard? I have been here for a long time with these two girls, but I can't find anyone!"
In fact, the shopkeeper didn't allow her to enter the inn at all, but the woman was cunning, coaxed a little guy who went out to buy things outside, and then followed him into the inn, but the little guy didn't know who the old lady Zhang was looking for and where he lived, so the woman stuffed him with two cents and sent him away.
After the little maid left, the woman knew that it was bad, the big inn of Yunlai Inn, she had only heard of it, but she had not seen it with her own eyes, and she only knew that these inns had strict doors, and not just anyone could go inside.
She led the two girls around inside, and saw either the wall or the closed courtyard gate, the rain was pouring, although they were holding umbrellas, but the rain was too strong, and they were inevitably a little wet, which was all winter, and it rained for so long, so that many people couldn't get used to it.
The woman was one of them, and she felt that she had contracted the cold, but she was ordered to come.
Liu Er smiled and said, "This lady, we are just residents here, how can we know where the old lady Zhang you are looking for lives?
The woman was dumbfounded, she, she hadn't finished her sentence yet! Why, why was she rewarded for being closed?
"Auntie, what do you say?" asked the taller one with a long face and a long blue armor among the two maids.
"Well, can your wife tell me, where does the old lady live?" the woman asked, annoyed that she didn't expect that the two of them were brought to her by the lady, so she should explain them, right?
"The servants didn't know, the wife just received a letter from the old lady in the house, explaining that the old lady was a distinguished guest in this chapter, and he had to be entertained well. ”
The woman thought too, these two maids were the servants of the waiter, how could the lady confess to them?
Just as he was thinking about what to do next, the shopkeeper took care of the affairs of the bamboo courtyard, led people over, saw them, and asked with a straight face, "Mrs. Luo, why are you here?"
The woman tried to fool her, but the shopkeeper showed no mercy and sent someone to drive them out.
Watching them walk away, the shopkeeper asked the people around him, "Why did you let her get in?"
"The little ones sent someone to stop her, I don't know how she got in. ”
"Go back and talk to the gatekeeper, but don't let these people in again. ”
"Shopkeeper, what is this Mrs. Luo going to come in?"
"Who knows. Just looking at the two girls she was carrying, you knew that she must have some idea, "Anyway, our inn doesn't allow these people to get in." ”
Some inns secretly colluded with unscrupulous people, and quietly took away some young and beautiful girls and sold them, and some families couldn't get by, so they brought their daughters or relatives over and sold them to take them away, because they were sold outside, outsiders didn't know, and thought that those girls were inappropriate themselves, and they were coaxed away without saying a word.
Anyway, if they don't see them, they can't refute how the family members want to arrange them!
Of course, if the guests are inconvenient and want to send away their subordinates for money, they are not unable to let people into the inn, but they will not let them walk around the inn unscrupulously, but will send someone to lead the way, and will not let them wander around the inn and affect other guests.
Mrs. Law's incident was just a small episode, and she fell silent without causing an uproar.
Li Qianqian didn't know about this at all, but Liu Er sent someone to inquire, and learned that the woman's husband's surname was Luo, and he was a well-known person in Wubao City.
This time, it seems that at the behalfth of a family surnamed Yao in Wubao City, he brought two maids to serve Mrs. Zhang, but who is this Mrs. Zhang?
Mrs. Yao didn't seem to know, but she just received a letter from her father-in-law, explaining that she wanted to entertain Mrs. Zhang.
Liu Er thought about it to no avail, and finally took it to discuss it with a few pigeon guards, and came to the conclusion that this old lady Zhang should be the old man Zhang, that is, Zhang Duoli's master.
"Mrs. Yao's father-in-law is the prefect of Rongzhou, he is very interested in some calligraphy and painting, and it seems that he has exchanged letters with Mr. Zhang. ”
Maybe that's the case, and Governor Yao will know that they are trapped in Wubao City by the heavy rain.
It's just that he sent two maids to serve him?
"Make people pay attention. ”
"Yes. The guards said yes in unison.
Liu Er thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go and talk to Li Qianqian, after Li Qianqian listened to him, he said thoughtfully, "Governor Yao! On the day we first arrived at the Yunlai Inn, Old Man Zhang also asked people to send him a letter, I remember that the recipient is Yao Hezhi, it should be this Yao Governor's Mansion!"
"I probably know that it has been raining heavily here in Wubao City for a few days, so I told his daughter-in-law that you should not be lazy in entertaining well, right?"
"Maybe!" Li Qianqian and Liu Er talked a few more words, and then they dispersed to do things, Liu Er was very busy, but he didn't have time to stay longer.
"By the way, is there any news from the capital?"
"The master of the rudder wrote that our rudder can accommodate a limited number of people, and the house in the capital will not be able to find Ruyi for a while, and he asked if he could buy Zhuangzi outside the city, and he could increase some income in the future. ”
Li Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "I remember that we were outside the capital, and there was Zhuangzi in the first place?"
"Yes, there are several Zhuangzi, and the income is good every year. It is because of this that the helmsman wants to buy a few more Zhuangzi.
Li Qianqian waved his hand at him, "Let him watch it!" Liu Er nodded with a smile and turned to leave.
Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli only came out of the inner room at this time, "Master said that Governor Yao is quite talented, but unfortunately for the sake of the future of his children and grandchildren, he has to give up calligraphy and painting." ”
Li Qian smiled lightly, "I thought that with the name of Zhang Lao, no one would come to the door, but who knew that just like that, someone still came to him, and sent a stunning maid in the name of hospitality!"
Mrs. Yao didn't know what her father-in-law meant, thinking that her husband and his friends usually gave each other beauties for fun, so she thought that her father-in-law's intention was the same, Mrs. Luo returned the person, and Mrs. Yao thought at first that Mrs. Zhang thought that they were not good enough.
Later, I learned that Mrs. Luo led them to the Yunlai Inn, but she didn't even find out where anyone lived.
In fact, if Mrs. Yao had sent the steward around her to do this, she might not have been turned away by the shopkeeper, and even refused to reveal the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhang.
It's a pity that she doesn't know about the collusion between some unscrupulous innkeepers and people in Wubao City, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Mrs. Luo to do this.
Just when everyone was about to be driven crazy by the never-ending rain, it stopped.
Although it still rained intermittently, at least there was no longer thunder, and the rain was incessant.
Li Qianqian asked everyone to pack up their things and be ready to go at any time.
As soon as she gave the order, everyone moved.
Li Qianqian took Lan Tang to see Jin Yi, Jin Yi was completely fine, but when he saw Lan Tang coming, he was still a little frightened, probably thinking of the medicine she prescribed!
Old man Zhang knew from Zhang Duoli that Mrs. Yao was ordered by the prefect Yao to send him two stunning maids, and he couldn't help laughing, and then sent a letter to the prefect Yao, informing him that in Wubao City, there was a collusion between the innkeeper and the people, and if the family of the person who sold his daughter and relatives was voluntary, it would be fine, and someone was forcibly taken away.
The family members went to report to the official that the person was missing in the inn, and there was a guy at the end of the inn who testified that the guest left by himself, and as for where they went after leaving, it was none of their business.
Even if the government and family members want to pursue it, they really have no way.
Yunlai Inn is not this kind of bad business, so it refuses to allow people to enter, so that Mrs. Yao can not reach the explanation of Yao Governor's Mansion, Old Man Zhang specially apologized to Yao Governor's Mansion for this, and also ridiculed the other party, did he send him a stunning maid to make him sad? He is an old man who is unable to do it, and he has been doing it for many years!
The old man Li Qianqian Zhizhang sent a letter to the Yao Governor's Mansion, and the reason why he didn't leave immediately was to wait for the Yao Governor's Mansion to reply.
These two are also fun, they have only lived in Yunlai Inn for half a month, and the two of them have exchanged letters, there have been nearly ten letters, almost one letter a day!
Although Feng Gongzi often wrote to her, he was not crazy to this extent, and Feng Gongzi was still the head of Fengjiazhuang!
Old Man Zhang sent a letter to Governor Yao, using the channel of their Ruiyao Sect, but when Governor Yao sent a letter, he used an official errand, which was a bit excessive! Isn't he afraid that the imperial historians will know about him and impeach him?
After listening to Li Qianqian's doubts, Old Man Zhang smiled and explained her doubts, "He is not afraid, his eldest son is in the capital to serve as the imperial history." ”
Oh, it turns out that there is an internal response! No wonder I am not afraid of being impeached by the imperial history.
As he was talking, the letter from Governor Yao came, Li Qianqian took the opportunity to leave, and Zhang Duoli also came out, not staying by Mr. Zhang's side.
Lan Tang asked her, "Aren't you going to stay and help tidy things up?"
"No need, the master has already asked people to pack up, just wait for the sect leader to give an order and ask someone to carry the cage into the car. "They are all people who often go out of the house, and they have long been accustomed to it.
