The shopkeeper wanted to say something more, but was glared at by the proprietress and shut up.

The proprietress looked at A-Yao with a smile: "It's not that we want too much, but after all, we have to support ourselves, this place is remote, few people come, if it is calculated according to the ordinary price, our store should have closed a long time ago." I know that it is not easy for you two girls to go far away, so it is better to give you half of the cheaper, and the two rooms are a total of one or two silver, what do you think? ”

A-Yao knew that there was no room for negotiation now, it was getting late outside, and there was no chance for her to choose, so she had to nod her head: "Then one or two silver, but we won't pay this silver tonight, and we will pay you tomorrow morning, what do you think of this?" ”

"Okay, fine, no problem." The proprietress said with a smile, and called to the girl who was still wiping the table, "Yuanzi, quickly take the two girls to the backyard and find a comfortable room." ”

The girl who was called Yuanzi threw the rag in her hand into the wooden bucket when she heard the sound, walked over and made a gesture of invitation to Ah Yao and Yao Qi, and took the lead in going to the backyard. Ah Yao and Yao Qi hurriedly followed when they saw it.

Looking at the distant back, the shopkeeper muttered: "These two are women?" They have to pay tomorrow, and if they can't pay tomorrow, isn't it for nothing that they will be fed? ”

The proprietress glanced at him: "What do you know, that girl's things are valuable." You just saw that there is no jade hanging around her neck, crystal clear, round color, at first glance, it is of the highest grade, not to mention whether she has silver on her, but that jade is worth a lot of silver. ”

"Really?" The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and with a smile, he reached out and grabbed the hand of the proprietress with a smile, "Lady, you are still careful, we are going to get rich again." ”

The proprietress glared at him with a smile: "What are you doing here, hurry up and go to the kitchen to cook and send them over, remember to add more ingredients." In the end, the proprietress winked at her man.

The shopkeeper immediately understood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not the first time I've done this, so I'm leaving." With that, he shook the fat on his body and ran towards the kitchen in the backyard.

Yuanzi took Ah Yao and Yao Qi into the backyard, stopped in front of a closed door, pointed to the house, turned around and left.

Yao Qi rolled his eyes for a while: "What kind of people are there in this inn, how can anyone treat guests like this." ”

Ah Yao patted her arm and comforted: "Okay, don't make trouble when you go out, let's go in by ourselves." ”

Yao Qi nodded obediently and followed A-Yao to push the door in, the furnishings inside were very simple, a pair of tables and chairs, a screen, a bed, the window curtains were blue ordinary fabric, and there was no furnishings other than that.

Yao Qi couldn't help frowning: "How does this place feel more dilapidated than home, I really don't know how embarrassed they are to ask us for so much silver." ”

Ah Yao closed the door and walked over, and sat down at the table with Yao Qi: "There will naturally be a lot of inconvenience when we go out, and we still have to adapt to various environments." ”

Yao Qi nodded: "Sister, what I know, I just can't help but complain." By the way, why did you just say that you had to pay for the house early the next morning, did you not bring enough money when you came out? ”

A-Yao shook her head: "I brought some money, but there wasn't much in the money bag outside, and the rest of the money was sewn in my underwear, and the money didn't leak out, how could I rest assured that I could withdraw money from them just now?" ”

Only then did Yao Qi understand her sister's thoughts, and when she looked up and saw the jade in Ah Yao's neck, she was curious again: "Sister, the jade in your neck is so beautiful, why haven't I seen it?" ”

Ah Yao looked down when she heard the sound, and the jade that was originally hanging around her neck inside suddenly jumped out at some point, she picked it up and looked at it and said, "This is given by your brother-in-law, and it is a relic of my mother-in-law." ”

Since she knew that this jade was not given to Jiu Mo by Fang Bin, Ah Yao replaced the purple tassel that Jiu Mo wore on it, and only wore it with a red string, and put on a few beads to hang around her neck. On weekdays, she hid it in her clothes, thinking that the carriage was too bumpy, so she ran out.

Ah Yao also understood for a while why the boss's eyes glanced in the direction of her neck from time to time, thinking that she saw this jade. Thinking of this, Ah Yao held the jade hand tightly, and only hoped that the proprietress would not fight the idea of this jade.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Ah Yao quickly stuffed the jade pendant around her neck back into her clothes, then got up and went to open the door, and saw that it was the circle that brought hot water in, so she smiled at the circle and stretched out her hand to take it: "Thank you for this little brother." ”

The circle didn't say anything, and turned around to leave.

Seeing this, Ah Yao hurriedly called him: "Eh, didn't you go to feed the horses with Sun Nian just now, did your shopkeeper prepare a room for him?" ”

The circle turned to look at Ah Yao, nodded slightly, and turned to leave again.

Regarding the strange behavior of the circle, although A-Yao was puzzled, she was not curious, so she walked in with hot water and closed the door again: "Aqi, the hot water that has just been boiled, come and wash it and warm your body." ”

Yao Qi came over in response, and the two washed their faces together and soaked their feet, and their bodies instantly warmed up.

After washing, Ah Yao came out with the basin to pour water, but just happened to meet Yuanzi coming over with food, seeing that Ah Yao couldn't take the basin and couldn't spare his hand to pick it up, so he just nodded lightly to Ah Yao and walked into the house by himself to put the food on the table, and then walked out of the door without saying a word.

Yao Qi was hungry for a long time, and when she saw those dishes, her heart suddenly blossomed: "There are even free meals to eat, I am starving to death." She walked over to the table and sat down, picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

After eating a few bites, I saw A-Yao sitting opposite him, with her hands on her cheeks, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her head.

Yao Qi shook her chopsticks in front of A-Yao: "Sister, what's wrong with you, what do you think?" ”

Ah Yao came back to her senses and said slowly: "I'm thinking, how can the people in this inn be so weird, that circle, and that round man, don't you find that the two of them are silent every time they come over to deliver something, you said that according to the normal situation, who would hire such a guy who can be regarded as very rude?"

Yao Qi thought about it: "Could it be that the two of them are dumb at all?" ”

Ah Yao continued to drag her cheeks and ponder: "If a person is dumb and said in the past, there are only two guys in this inn, and they are all dumb, isn't it too coincidental?" ”

Yao Qi was also a little puzzled, and when she saw her sister's frowning, she comforted: "Don't think so much, if you think too much, it's all about scaring yourself, anyway, we'll leave after tonight, no matter what happens to them." ”

Ah Yao nodded, what Yao Qi said was indeed reasonable, but she was too careful.

Seeing this, Yao Qi took a pair of chopsticks and handed it to her: "Let's eat, the food in this inn is still quite good." ”

Ah Yao stretched out her hand to take it, but because she had too many things hidden in her heart, she didn't have any appetite at all, so she casually took a few mouthfuls of green vegetables, drank half a bowl of gruel, and put it down.

Yao Qi was a little distressed when she saw that she had eaten so little: "Sister, how can you eat so little, we have to rush tomorrow, how can we not eat enough?" ”

Ah Yao reached out and picked up the bowl in front of Yao Qi, scooped half a bowl of porridge with a spoon and handed it to her: "You eat more, I have no appetite and want to rest for a while." ”

Yao Qi took the bowl in Ah Yao's hand and put it on the table, and looked at Ah Yao with a worried face: "Sister, you shouldn't be sick, are you strict?" ”

A-Yao smiled: "I'm fine, maybe it'...... I miss your brother-in-law so much, you can eat, don't worry about me. ”

Yao Qi nodded obediently: "Okay, sister, you go to rest first." ”

Ah Yao was lying on the bed, her mind was full of Fang Bin's face, thinking of Fang Bin who was far away in Beijing, she couldn't help but worry in her heart, and she didn't know if Liu Yan could receive her flying pigeon summons, and whether she could stop Fang Bin from robbing the prison.

And she herself doesn't know when she will be able to arrive in Shangjing, when she will be able to meet her husband and her father.

"Sister, why haven't you slept yet?" Yao Qi was full of food and saw A-Yao lying on the bed in a daze, and muttered while yawning.

Ah Yao turned sideways and let Yao Qi climb to the side of the bed, and then said, "I can't sleep." ”

"Are you thinking about your brother-in-law and dad again?" Yao Qi lay sideways beside Ah Yao, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked.

"Yes, my father's affairs have not come to fruition for a day, how can I rest assured, I don't know how your brother-in-law is doing now."

"Sister, I'm so sleepy, let's go to sleep quickly, I won't feel bad when I fall asleep, I have to hurry up tomorrow morning, maybe you'll see your brother-in-law as soon as you dream tonight." No, sister, why am I so sleepy, I can't stay up, I'll sleep first, and you can rest early......"

Looking at Yao Qi, who gradually lost her movement, A-Yao shook her head helplessly, reached out and stroked the hair scattered on her face, and sighed secretly in her heart, this girl is really big-hearted, when can she be so calm, able to eat and sleep, it really makes her envious. But it's nice to be carefree like her.

Ah Yao leaned out slightly and blew out the candle at the head of the bed, then lay back on the bed again, staring at the endless darkness in the room, Ah Yao gradually felt that her brain began to dizzy, and a burst of drowsiness swept over, she stretched out her hand to cover her lips and yawned gently, and she fell asleep in a groggy ......
