Chapter 524: The Guest Floor
A Xiachuan Riverside willows sway, the boatmen on the Xiachuan River are busy fishing, the fish and birds fly up and down with the boatman's hand, from time to time catch the harvest back to the fish basket hanging on the bow of the boat, there is a rumbling and kicking sound in the distance, the fish and birds that fly back to the bow of the boat are frightened to loosen their claws, a fat big fish falls into the river like this, the boatman turns his head to look, and sees a team of chariots and horses running from the direction of the capital to the north, the carriage is gorgeous and strong, and the horse pulling the cart is more heroic than the horse under the guard crotch.
Since the opening of an inn in the eastern city of Sichuan, they have often seen a huge convoy of people coming from thousands of miles to stay in an inn, and they heard that there are all kinds of things in that inn, eating, drinking and having fun.
The boatman's dark and shiny face due to the sun could not hide his envy and looked at the direction of an inn, and was about to beckon the fish and birds to catch fish again, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves rumbling again, the boatman sighed, turned his head to look at the official road by the river, and a team of carriages and horses galloped forward, no, it was several teams, and the two teams that started seemed to be fighting?
I saw the guards of the two teams of chariots and horses at the head, raised the horsewhip in their hands and waved at each other, there was a mistake in the chaos, hit the horse's buttocks, the horse that was in pain neighed and rushed forward, this rushed forward, the convoy was a little messy, and even affected the horses that pulled the cart, the master's car was a four-horse carriage, the coachman had good skills, although the horse was frightened, but he still controlled it without chaos, but the carriage that the next person rode in was not so lucky.
The coachman who drove the car was not very skilled, and could not control the horses at all, and they panicked and ran through the horses, and the maids and servants on the car screamed even more, and the horses were already frightened, and when they were frightened like this, they were even more panicked and ran wildly.
The coachmen could not stop the carriage, so they could only control it to prevent the horses from crashing into their master's carriage.
Some of the guards chased after them and risked jumping on the wheels to help the driver control the horses, but the results were not effective, and more guards took the risk to try, but the skills were not enough to retreat.
The other team laughed when they saw it, and their master's carriage was also full of laughter, and the guards of the team that had the accident rushed up when they saw it, waving their hands and whipping the horses, they were not the guards' horses, they were all horses pulling the cart, and the people who were watching the excitement reacted half a beat slower, and let them succeed.
Shi Cai missed, but now he deliberately tried his best, and the horse immediately ran wildly when he was in pain, even crazier than the carriage just now.
The carriage staggered, and the maidservants and servants in the carriage screamed incessantly, and even though the coachman was skillful, he could not control all the horses that were beaten and galloped at once.
Their master's carriage was struck in the chaos, and the horses pulling it, no matter how spiritual they were, were also livestock, and their first reaction to fright was to run away from danger.
There was chaos on the official road, and the convoy that followed did not follow, but chose to rest in place.
"Childe, don't we have to step forward to help?" Gao Sujian, the grandson of Gao Xiang, sat lazily in the car, and when he heard the little girl's question, he raised his eyelids lazily, "Your son-in-law is timid, those two are nobles, and their guards are the best, if they are not even, do you think your son-in-law's small body can bear it?"
The little guy looked at his son-in-law, lowered his head and stopped talking, Gao Gongzi smiled, closed his eyes again, and buried himself in the pile of soft cushions, "Remember, your son-in-law is weak, don't mess with me outside." ”
The little servant whispered.
In the convoy next to him, in the black-lacquered flat-headed carriage, the grandson of the high-ranking grandson, Zhang Gongzi, was leisurely sharing tea, and the hustle and bustle outside didn't seem to disturb him.
"Childe, do you want to ask the young master to come over?"
"Not necessarily. Zhang Gongzi refused, "He is a cow who doesn't understand the amorous feelings, and asking him to come over to drink tea is a waste of my tea." ”
The little guy scratched his head with some distress, if the young master is a cow, what is the young master?
There seemed to be a sound of falling water in the noise outside, and the little guy curiously lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and saw a gorgeous carriage carrying floats and sinking in the river, looking at the appearance of the car, it seemed to ......, "Childe, the carriage of the prince of Changping has fallen into the water!"
"Really?" Zhang Gongzi got up unhurriedly, came to the door of the car, looked out, and sure enough, he saw a carriage in the river, and someone had anxiously entered the water to rescue him, and soon saw someone climb into the carriage, and then pulled out a man, and then another woman was rescued, and then another woman, and the three of them seemed to be a little untidy?
Well, the Hou Shizi of Changping loves red sleeves and fragrance, but in broad daylight, he plays with Tongfang in the car, which seems to be a bit too much!
But who makes the family the grandson of the eldest princess! People like them don't dare to be so ostentatious before they marry their wives.
Does the Hou Shizi of Changping feel that he has a chance of winning, or does he feel that there is little hope, so he simply gives up?
After King Jing's carriage stopped, he found that the situation behind him was not quite right, and before he could say anything, he heard screams all the way to the water's edge, and then the sound of falling water.
Let the beautiful maid help her get out of the car, and King Jing Shizi calmly watched as the Hou Shizi of Changping and his party were rescued ashore.
The car of the Hou Shizi of Changping was unusable, one of the four horses of the divine horse had a broken neck, two had broken legs, and one was pressed under the carriage and wailed and neighed.
King Jing Shizi still looked at it unchanged, but the beautiful maid was so frightened that she trembled in his arms.
"Looks like I'm going to have to find a place to rest. ”
After King Jing finished speaking, the guards around him retreated to do business.
The guards of the last two convoys came forward to greet him, "Where is your master?"
"Our son was timid, so he waited for him to drink the soothing soup and rest. Gao Gongzi's attendant did not change his face and said that everyone knew that he was lying.
"You are getting better and better at talking nonsense with your eyes open!"
"Childe said that when you are done here, he will come back to say goodbye. ”
King Jing's jaw head, "I heard that there is an inn in this Dongchuan City that is very famous, called an inn." Have you ever heard?"
"Yes. "Gao and Zhang guarded the jaws, "Since you want to rest, why don't you go and stay here?" said King Jing.
I don't want the guards of the Gao and Zhang families to look embarrassed, "What, what's wrong?"
"No, I heard that there is an inn here that adopts a reservation system, and if you don't have a reservation, you can't live in, even if you stuff money and bribe the counter, it won't work. ”
"It's just a small inn!" "This is because you haven't met a really powerful person, right?" King Jing sneered, he didn't mind letting them see it!
The guards of the Zhang family looked at the expression of King Jing Shizi, and knew that this person's mistake had been committed again, so they exchanged glances with the guards of the Gao family, and then found an excuse to retreat.
Zhang Gongzi and Gao Gongzi were rewarded respectively, Zhang Gongzi ordered his own guards to enter Dongchuan City and find another inn where they could stay, while Gao Gongzi asked his own guards to follow Zhang Gongzi's guards, "Look at which one they book, let's follow." ”
When the guards of King Jing got the order, they came to an inn, and the chariot and horses that walked before them came out of an inn and happened to pass by the guards of King Jing.
Seeing that the group of them were scolding and scolding, the guards could guess that they had been driven out?
The guard snorted coldly, useless thing.
He exchanged glances with a few of his subordinates, and galloped towards an inn.
Came to the outside of an inn, several people were startled by this solemn appearance, there are four big characters in the book of an inn on the quaint archway, and the head of the guard is about to rush in on a horse, but two middle-aged men turn out behind the archway, look at the clothes, it should be the guys of the inn.
"Dare to ask a few guests what they are doing?"
"We are the guards of the Jingwang Mansion, the eldest grandson of our prince and the eldest princess of Ruifeng, the prince of Changping will come to stay in a while. ”
"That's right! May I ask if the Jingwang Mansion and the Changping Marquis Mansion were booked in the name of that nobleman?
The head of the guard was impatient, and waved his hand at the subordinates behind him, and immediately someone stepped forward and impatiently stretched out his hand to push the middle-aged man who opened his mouth to ask.
"You're not finished! Our son is going to stay overnight, and you have ordered someone to lead the way, what are you trying to do!"
It's just that he originally thought that the middle-aged man would get out of the way when he pushed him like this, but who knew that the middle-aged man didn't move when he heard the wind, and he was quite surprised to stretch out his hand to push the person's guard armor, because in order to deter people, he made a move with seventy percent of his skills, but he found that after his skills entered the other party's body, he was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no information.
This person's martial arts are extraordinary, but he only works as a partner in this inn?
If their prince's palace can invite someone of this skill, I am afraid that the position of the head of the guard will not be their turn.
What is the origin of this inn?
Not to mention that the guards who made the move were surprised, even the leader who brought them was shocked, what his strength was, he knew best, seeing that his face was different, but the guy who was pushed by him did not move, he knew that this person's skill was far more than a few of them.
Don't blame the convoy of the household servant's family just now scolding and leaving, it seems that they have suffered a loss, right?
"I'm really sorry! You said you were from the nobleman's house?" Just as the head of the guard didn't know how to get off the stage, a round and chubby man like a ball came from inside with a smile, and as soon as he came, he first scolded the two middle-aged men who had just blocked them.
"Stand down, what are you two doing? This is from the mansion of the nobles in Beijing, I have offended them, and I will peel your skin to vent my anger when I turn around, even the owner can't protect you!"
The middle-aged men stepped back, but only two steps back, and the three of them were blocked under the archway, and the ball-shaped man in the middle introduced himself with a smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't see them in general, the two of them just don't know what to do, offend people everywhere, and finally cornered, after being saved by our host, they vowed to be loyal to our host, their two brains are a tendon, the host explained, no guests without an appointment, not allowed to enter, the two of them have not let go of a guest who has not made an appointment. ”
"You are?"
But the guests we have made an appointment for half a year, if your host wants to make an appointment, you have to wait until after the beginning of spring next year, your host may wait? The inn of our inn is divided into five classes, the fifth class courtyard stays in one night fifty taels, the fourth class courtyard is one hundred taels, the third class courtyard is five hundred taels, the second class courtyard is one thousand taels, the first class courtyard is five thousand taels, all the food during the accommodation is free, and the amusement facilities are also free to use, such as the theater, the competitive boat race, etc. ”
The head of the guards had just heard that it would cost him fifty taels for one night, and he had already had his brain shut down, but he had not heard all of the introductions that followed, but the guards who came with him heard it bluntly, what kind of place is this! It is not in the capital, but it is just an inn for a simple stay, and it costs fifty taels a night? Help!
The fat master smiled as if he hadn't seen their sluggishness, and continued to introduce them to the various features of the inn.
"In a word, if your host can wait to make a reservation, this lord, do you want to go back and ask your master? Oh, and there is a rule in our book, when booking, you must first prepay the accommodation fee in full, and the other few days are a few days, after check-in, you can't follow up the reservation, sorry! Please go back and explain to your master. Thank you!" As he spoke, he reached out and stroked the horse of the head of the guard, the grumpy horse, one second he was still biting the tails of the other guards, and the next second he was obediently snuggling in the man's big hand and coquettish.
Seeing everyone dumbfounded, this is the horse with a bad temper at their head?
The fat master slapped his big palm like a fan, and gently slapped it behind the horse, and the horse galloped obediently, and the others had to ride their horses to catch up.
It was not until they could no longer see the archway of an inn that they approached the leader's horse, grabbed the reins from the leader's hand, slowed the horse's speed, and finally stopped.
"Boss, it seems that there is an inn here that can't be lived, let's find another inn, right?"
"That's all there is to it. "Otherwise, they won't be able to beat it.
"I just took a look, the four big characters engraved on the archway, guess whose Mobao it is?"
"It's just a matter of recklessness. "The person who spoke was the most knowledgeable of several of them, and I heard that he had taken the examination at the beginning, but he was not lucky enough to pass the examination several times, and finally had to obey his father's order and enter the palace as a guard.
"That's the Emperor's gift. Fang asked them to guess whose Mobao was the guard, but they ignored him at all and directly announced the answer.
"The Emperor's Imperial Gift, is it really fake?" the guard, who was called Xiucai by all of them, snorted coldly.
"I'm illiterate! But Danian has seen Emperor Mobao, Danian said. The man who spoke pulled a tall man over to testify for himself.
Danian saw that everyone was staring at him, and he was a little uncomfortable, but as soon as he was urged by the leader, he immediately recruited, "It's the emperor's words." ”
Isn't it? There is an inn that has a relationship with the emperor, what does it matter? The owner of an inn can't be the emperor, right?
Although these few of them have heard of an inn, but they don't know who the owner of an inn is, which probably has something to do with the guest set by Li Shaoxi, although King Jing is the emperor's brother, but the emperor is not happy to see his close ministers and nobles go too close, so Li Shaoxi's customer list, there are no two families, King Jing and Marquis Changping.
