Chapter 265: Accommodation
The man took the door and prepared to close it, leaving only a gap one man wide.
Chu Yueqing walked over briskly in the rain: "Is there still a wing room?" β
In the pouring rain, a woman was holding an oil-paper umbrella, carrying a burden on her back, and holding an umbrella in her arms. The shopkeeper looked up at her suspiciously: "The girl just entered the city gate?" β
Chu Yueqing dodged into the inn. She has a little kung fu foundation, although she is not a master, but she is quite dexterous in completing things like entering through the door.
Yunlaiju is worthy of being the largest inn in the capital, although the table ornaments in the lobby are all simple, but the materials are all good ash, and there are several cabinets full of books in the southeast corner of the lobby for the people who go to Beijing to take the exam. In the southwest corner, more than a dozen paintings are hung.
With a quick glance, Chu Yueqing took the umbrella.
The shopkeeper still understood what was going on, and there was no one in front of him: I'm going, why are all the people in the rivers and lakes coming to the capital...
He dropped the door panel that had not yet been installed, and walked towards Chu Yueqing with a smile: "Guest officer, do you want to be sharpened or stay in the hotel?" β
This kind of Jianghu person, he still offends less, what if one of them doesn't go well and kills him?
Chu Le glanced at him coolly: "If you live in the hotel, you also have to eat." β
"Yes, yes, guest." The shopkeeper led Chu Yueqing to the counter.
"There is only one ordinary wing, in the southeast corner of the third floor." The shopkeeper didn't raise his eyes, he was calculating, and he said lukewarmly.
Yunlaiju has always been uncertain about guests. The imperial examination is over, and those who rush to take the examination in various places do not care whether they are successful or not. They all left Yunlaiju with their burdens. However, the annual tea party will begin in September, when merchants come from far and wide, and in order to facilitate the exchange, of course, they will choose Yunlaiju as their place of residence.
But for some reason, many people have come one after another in the past few days.
The shopkeeper was bored, but he didn't dare not answer. Therefore, when he saw Chu Yueqing alone at this time, his attitude was naturally not enthusiastic.
"Okay, that's it, how much is a night?" Chu Lechun said.
Such a refreshing table xiΓ n. Let Chu Yueqing be more like a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes. The shopkeeper still lowered his head: "One dollar a day." It was three taels of silver a month. β
Chu Yueqing couldn't live for a month, she was only temporarily settled here, and as for where to go in the future, she hadn't thought about it yet.
She was angry for a moment. Ran out of King Hao's mansion. But he didn't want to leave without saying a word.
But Chu Yueqing took out five taels of silver first: "I don't know how long I will live for the time being." I still have to eat, so I can deduct it from this, if it's not enough. I'll hand it over again. β
Chu Yueqing put the silver on the counter, and the shopkeeper looked up at her, but he only glanced at it, and then lowered his head and took the room card and handed it to Chu Yueqing.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly made a gesture of please: "Girl, please hereβ"
The stairs were on the east side of the counter, and the shopkeeper led Chu Yueqing up to the third floor. Her room was at the southernmost end of the east row of rooms, and she had to pass by all the rooms in that row as she walked past.
The shopkeeper hung his head and led the way in front of him, without saying a word.
The atmosphere was very weird, Chu Yueqing walked under the long corridor, and every step made a "creak, creak" sound.
The shopkeeper looked at her sideways, and the first two waves of people from the rivers and lakes came, and they walked without making a sound. Is this girl doing it on purpose?
In fact, Chu Yueqing has no internal strength, has never learned internal breathing, and has always walked with sound.
But at this moment, she also noticed that her footsteps were too abrupt, and she frowned slightly, not that it was full of people, why there was no sound in the entire corridor.
But there was no need for the shopkeeper to lie to her. After walking a little further, I finally saw a candle flame shining through a room, and there seemed to be three or five people sitting around the table, but it was also quiet, and there was no sound at all.
Did they hold their breath to observe her?
Chu Yueqing's heart tightened and slowed down. But the effect is minimal, and the "squeak" sound is still played out gracefully and repeatedly.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to arrive at the "Chinese" No. 3 room, her room.
"Here we are, guest officer." The shopkeeper said, pushing open the door for her: "I don't know what you are eating, guest officer?" β
The room was not big, only a table, a bed, a few chairs, but very clean. Chu Yueqing put the burden on the table of the Eight Immortals: "One meat and one vegetable, a bowl of rice, what to eat." β
The shopkeeper asked again: "Do you use it in the room, or go to the lobby?" β
"Come to the room. Also, prepare some hot water for me. "The clothes on my body are half-dry, and they are clammy and uncomfortable. Even if you don't take a bath, you still have to wipe your body.
"Okay." The shopkeeper responded, retreated, and helped Chu Yueqing close the door.
After the shopkeeper left, Chu Yueqing opened the baggage.
The burden was drenched with a little rain, and the clothes at the bottom were a little damp. It was the cyan men's shirt, and Chu Yueqing took it out and hung him on the bed. Then, she took out the women's clothes inside and changed them on.
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er in the inn already knew that she was a woman, and she had no need to change her clothes.
Those two men's clothes are what she uses when she goes out.
As soon as she changed her clothes, there was a knock at the door, and Chu Yueqing casually tied her loose hair into a ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead.
She opened the door, and it was the shopkeeper.
"Guest officer, your food has been brought to you, according to your requirements, one meat and one vegetable, do you see if you are satisfied?"
A stir-fried vegetable with fungus and a dish of sluggling meat, Chu Yueqing nodded: "Not bad." β
She took out a little broken silver from her purse and handed it to Xiao Er: "These days, is there anything special in Jingli?" β
Xiao Er didn't answer, hesitating.
Chu Yueqing understood, she smiled and said: "The money for the meal is recorded in the account, this is your hard work, don't shirk." β
The shopkeeper took it at this time, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you are polite, there have been no major events in Beijing recently." β
Then, he quietly approached Chu Yueqing a little, and said in a low voice: "Girl, do you want to ask who lives on this floor?" β
Chu Yueqing raised her eyebrows, a smile overflowed at the corner of her mouth, she sat at the table, and took out two plates of vegetables and rice from the tray: "Let's bring a pot of water." β
Xiao Er should have bent over, and at the moment of bending, he said quickly: "The guest rooms on this floor are all people from the same rivers and lakes as you, and they suddenly entered Beijing en masse, and the little ones don't know what the reason is." But if you're not with them, girl, you'd better get out of here. β
After that, the shopkeeper got up with the tray: "Okay, I'll send it to you right away." β
β¦β¦
As the night deepened, Chu Yueqing put his wet clothes on the hanger at the head of the bed, pressed his purse under the pillow, and lay on the bed but couldn't sleep for a long time.
What is the purpose of the sudden arrival of a large number of Jianghu people in the capital?
