Chapter 78: Revealing White (First Update, Ask for Pink Tickets!) )
The guy who ran the hall didn't expect that the child was still holding a cat in his arms, so he shrank his neck back in fright, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you cat ......"
In the dark night, the big black eyes of the little meow sparkled under the reflection of the red lanterns of the inn, and the golden green characteristic of the Persian cat around the black eyes was even more bewitching.
The guy who ran the hall glanced at it, and then looked at it again, then turned his head, and bowed to Situ Ying, who had been looking at him silently, and said, "Guest officer, please come in." ”
Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei's clothes look like the master.
Situ Yingsleeve glanced at him, took Situ Chenlei's shoulder, and walked towards the house.
The seven upper rooms they ordered were on the second floor.
Almost half of the rooms on the second floor were booked by them.
Situ Yingsleeve came to his and Xiao Lei's room, looked around, nodded, and said, "It's really clean." ”
She brought her two rough maids in with their bedding luggage and began to make their beds.
When he went out, Situ Yingsleeve never slept on the bed of the inn, and always carried a mattress, quilt and pillow with him.
Situ Chenlei stood next to the round table in the middle of the room with Xiao Meow in his arms, with a very nervous look on his face, obviously not adapting to the unfamiliar environment.
When the mothers-in-law made all the bedding brought from Situ's house, and put the bits and pieces of furnishings they brought in the house, the ancestral hall Chen Lei saw these familiar things and slowly relaxed.
The place by the window is hung with a dark rosewood birdcage, which is the cat frame that Xiao Meow likes to gaze silently.
On the long table under the window are a thin neck and long neck orchid vase, a three-legged bronze incense burner, and a few books that Situ Yingsleeve often reads.
The pestles in the room were covered with thick brocade cushions, so as not to make Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei uncomfortable to sit.
Situ Yingsleeve pulled Situ Chenlei to sit down, and asked softly, "Xiao Lei, are you hungry?" What do you want to eat at night? ”
Situ Chenlei shook his head first, then nodded again, and said, "Xiao Meow wants to eat fish." ”
Situ Yingsleeve raised his head and instructed the two mothers-in-law: "Prepare a plate of green vegetables, a plate of white cut meat, and a bowl of porridge for me and Xiao Lei." Let's prepare two fish for Meow. ”
"Miss, we don't have any fish."
"Go to the store and buy it. It's close to the sea, and they definitely have a kitchen. Situ Yingsleeve said disapprehantly, walked to the window, pushed open the window and looked out.
The courtyard of the inn is a boxy patio with no trees around the courtyard wall, and a stone table and several stone benches are placed in the middle.
The walls of the inn were made of wood and varnished, and the paint did not seem to have dried.
But when you press it with your hand, there is no trace of paint, and it does not look like a freshly built inn.
A string of red lanterns hung down from the front left, with the words "Yuelai Inn" written on them.
Each lantern has a word on it, which stands out at night, and can be seen from miles away through the dark night.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
Situ Ying closed the window and looked back, "Come in." ”
The person who came was Qu Dayong, the head of the guards she brought.
"Miss." He arched his hand.
"Well, what's wrong?" Situ Yingsleeve asked indifferently, "If it's okay, go to bed early, get up early tomorrow, and have to hurry." ”
“…… Miss, let's swagger like this, is it really good? Qu Dayong asked hesitantly, his eyes swept over the furnishings in Situ Ying's room.
Tsk, look at the things in this house, aren't you really afraid that others will know that they are rich?
Qu Dayong knows that when going out, for the sake of safety, everyone is very low-key and cautious, and pays attention to wealth and does not show it.
And Situ Yingsleeve did this, simply writing the words "I am a rich man" on his face!
In the eyes of these Jianghu people, it is synonymous with "I am a fat sheep to be slaughtered".
Situ Yingsleeve smiled slightly, closed his hands in front of him, and said in a dignified manner: "Qu Tou'er, do you think it's inappropriate for me to do this?" ”
"Hehe, just to remind the eldest lady, I don't dare to say that the eldest lady is not." Qu Dayong said very humbly.
Situ Yingsleeve walked to Situ Chenlei and sat down, picked up the jasper bucket he used to drink tea at home, and said: "Qu Tou'er, I know that when people walk outside, they pay attention to 'wealth is not exposed', so it's better to be careful." But do you think that if we pretend to be ordinary people, others will be able to believe us? Not to mention anything else, Xiao Lei and I are two and a half children, and we actually have ten strong and capable guards by our side. - What do we have to hide from that? ”
"You mean ......?" Qu Dayong showed a thoughtful expression, as if he understood what Situ Yingsleeve meant.
"Yes. Since we can't pretend to be ordinary people, we might as well pretend to be higher, so that those people can't figure out what we are, but can deter them. -- Surabaya is close to the capital, and the people here have eyes on the top of their heads, and they are all very shrewd. We went all the way into the set, and we have long been seen and remembered by countless people. If you go out to inquire, people outside must be saying that the newly opened Yuelai Inn has more than a dozen people from a lot of backgrounds. Situ Yingsleeve smiled and said, "This is the effect I want." ”
If you can't pretend to be inconspicuous, then simply create a thousand rays of light to blind the eyes of some people with bad intentions.
"Subordinates understood!" Qu Dayong's eyes lit up, "This is just like what our old club said before, the real is virtual, the virtual is real, the virtual is real, the virtual is real, people can't figure out the details, so they don't dare to do it at will." ”
"Pretty much." Situ Yingsleeve nodded with a smile, "I haven't seen anything in the world." I heard that your old owner of Weihutang has experienced a hundred battles and is a well-known figure in the Northern Qi, Eastern Yuan and Southern Zheng Kingdoms, and it is our blessing to be able to invite his subordinates to be our family's guards. ”
Situ Yingsleeve's voice was neither high nor low, just enough to be heard by people outside.
"Guest officer, the hot water is boiling, when will I bring you in?" The voice of the running man became more and more respectful.
Situ Yingsleeve glanced at his mother-in-law.
The woman hurriedly got up and opened the door and went out, and said to the fellow, "Thank you, little brother, you can carry it to the five rooms over there." Remember to carry ten buckets of hot water, our guard brother has been on the road for a day, it is all ash, and it must be washed well. ”
The guy's face froze, he opened his mouth, endured it again, and said, "Okay, let's go...... Let's go ......."
The mother-in-law turned to Situ Yingsleeve and said, "Miss, the slave has gone to cook." ”
"Go ahead." Situ Yingsleeve waved his hand, and said to Qu Dayong: "You can go back too." Whatever you want to eat, eat it yourself. Take it and give it to your brothers to drink and eat. As he spoke, Situ Yingsleeve took out a piece of silver and threw it into Qu Dayong's hand.
Qu Dayong happily took it and went to ask his brothers to go downstairs to the hall to eat and drink.
Of course, Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei don't eat the things in the inn, they all bring the mother-in-law on the stove to make it for her and Xiao Lei.
The woman carried a small bag of rouge rice in one hand, a small bundle of small greens in the other, and a small piece of ham with umami, plus cooked meat, and a bag of seasonings, and walked to the kitchen of the inn.
There are really a lot of people like Situ Yingsleeve, so the inns of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom generally have separate kitchens, which are ready for those extravagant guests to make their own dishes.
"Little brother, we're going to borrow the kitchen." The woman said with a smile.
The guy in the big kitchen hurriedly said: "Please here, this small kitchen has not been used for a long time, you wait a while, I will bring you some firewood in." ”
The woman looked into the small kitchen and said, "There seems to be a bundle of firewood in the corner, I have seen enough." You give me a lamp, and I'll make a fire myself. ”
The man answered, and brought an oil lamp.
Another mother-in-law also came, carrying a food box with dishes and chopsticks that had already been washed, and asked the guy, "This little brother, can you sell us two fresh fish?" ”
"Fresh fish? Okay, no problem. There is one here, fifty wen, you pick the big one! ”
The woman picked out two fresh fish for Xiao Meow, and scraped the scales and cleaned them next to the water tank on the side.
The small kitchen is lit up for a long time, and it is no longer dark and cold.
Take a knife and cut the cooked meat into thin slices, put it on a plate, then chop the garlic cloves to make the garlic puree.
The greens were washed, cut and set aside, and then the woman went to pick up the firewood and prepared to make a fire to make a pot.
As soon as a bundle of firewood was opened, the woman covered her mouth violently and almost screamed!
I saw that behind the firewood, two father-and-daughter people, one old and one young, were huddled there, looking at her with wide eyes and begging for help!
As soon as the two saw that they were discovered, they hurriedly knelt down for the woman, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
The woman saw that the man was not very old, but his hair was gray, and the girl looked fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was born very delicately and elegantly, and looked polite, but her face was yellow and thin, and she was gray, and the clothes on her body were good, but they were in tatters, and her hair was dirty and oily, and they were all knotted.
It looks like the lady of a big family is in trouble.
The mother-in-law chuckled in her heart, "shh ”
Mrs. Xu immediately got up and closed the door of the small kitchen.
"What's going on? How are you hiding here? The mother-in-law who asked the question was surnamed Ma, who made a good dish, and was the mother-in-law on the stove who often followed Situ Yingsleeve out.
Mrs. Xu followed, glared at the two and said, "What are you doing sneakily hiding here?" I warn you, don't make a bad idea. As soon as we scream, you're done! “
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed to Ma Pozi and Xu Pozi before saying something thrilling.
“…… Thank you two for saving your life! Our father and daughter came to the capital from Xingzhou in the north to join their relatives. I took the wrong road on the road and went around to the south of the capital. As a result, when I stayed at this inn, I was accidentally seen by these people, poured our father and daughter medicine, and robbed us of all our things! ”
"What?! Who robbed you?! ”
"It's a black shop! I see that you are also rich families, so let's hurry up! - I can't live here! The girl raised her head and said with palpitations, her whole body trembling, "I was seriously ill, and my father told them that he was suffering from tuberculosis, so he escaped." Otherwise, they would have sold me to the land of that kind of indiscriminate fireworks! ”
