Chapter 020: First Entry to Beijing (Part II)

The national customs of the Great Calendar are conservative, except for festivals, boudoir women rarely go out, and even when they go out, most of them will wear veils.

"Miss, it's not early, we have to find an inn to rest quickly." Miaomeng took Su Xue's hand, as if she was afraid that she would run away from her.

Su Xue's eyes were still scanning the surroundings, and she only replied lightly: "What's the hurry?" It's never too late to look for it when it's dark. ”

Miao Meng hurriedly shook her head: "Miss, tomorrow is the Horse Racing Festival, and the better inns around here have already been bought, even ordinary inns are overcrowded." When it gets dark, I'm afraid we'll have to sleep on the streets......"

Su Xue was stunned, but she also had an epiphany, just like a hotel near a tourist attraction, the price skyrocketed during the long holiday, but it was still in short supply.

It turns out that this situation has been inherited from thousands of years ago.

Su Xue nodded to Miaomeng, and then pointed to an inn not far away, "Then let's not go far, let's just go here." ”

Miaomeng was a little suspicious of her ears, and the young lady actually said don't go far? Didn't Miss go crazy as far as she could?

Just when Miao Meng was stunned, Su Xue had already walked straight to the inn.

This inn is not luxurious, perhaps due to the continuous rain some time ago, coupled with the direction of the inn and the material of the floor tiles, in short, it is very damp.

Su Xue wanted to quit as soon as she walked in, living in such a cold and damp place, it was inevitable that she would get damp, but this place was relatively close to Xiangyun Inn, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

As soon as she and Miaomeng walked in a few steps, the shopkeeper waved impatiently at them: "The small shop is full, it's full." ”

Miaomeng was not in a hurry to leave, reached into his arms and took out a silver ingot, and handed it to the shopkeeper without saying a word.

Su Xue glanced at Miaomeng, and secretly thought in her heart that Miaomeng really knew the rules, and she must have been very beautiful behind Miss Jiang before. However, such a damp inn also costs a whole ingot of silver, and it can't help but feel a little distressing.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper didn't give her a chance to feel distressed, stroked her cuffs, pointed at Miaomeng with her nostrils to the sky and shouted, "Don't you understand?" Fully booked, fully booked! ”

Miao Meng was yelled at by the shopkeeper like this, and suddenly blushed, and reached into his arms again, that posture, as if he wanted to smash the shopkeeper to death with silver, and their Jiang Mansion was not short of these silver.

And the shopkeeper also instantly understood Miaomeng's thoughts, waved his sleeves with disgust on his face and said coldly: "No matter how much silver it is, it's the same, it's already full!" ”

The shopkeeper's disdainful appearance made Miaomeng very uncomfortable, and she snorted heavily, ready to step forward and tell their true identities.

Su Xue saw that there was something wrong with Miaomeng's momentum, so she hurriedly reached out to grab her, smiled lightly, and said, "The shopkeeper of the Jingshi, what scene have you not seen?" Naturally, there is no shortage of this silver. It's just that I see that the shopkeeper's face is flushed, his eyes are scattered, his middle qi is insufficient, but his anger is very ...... Moreover, the arm was covered with fine red sores. ”

Su Xue said, looking at the shopkeeper's arm.

The shopkeeper was in a hurry for a while, so he lifted his cuffs, and at this time, others saw the red sores on his arms, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly put down his sleeves and said to Su Xue: "I don't have any malicious intent, but the shop is indeed full." I advised the girl to take advantage of the fact that it was not dark and to look elsewhere. ”

His face was still not good-looking, but his tone was much softer. Miao Meng snorted and said in a low voice, "What's the big deal?" Isn't it just a profiteer who borrows land to make black money? Seeing the master of the money's eyes, he dared to murder people......"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he suddenly became energetic again, and yelled at Miaomeng: "You cheap little girl, believe me or not......" He raised his hand and made a gesture to fight Miaomeng.

Miao Meng didn't expect this shopkeeper to move seriously, so she was immediately frightened and hurriedly hid behind Su Xue.

"Don't be in a hurry to move the shopkeeper, the more you move, the more small red sores on your body will be. Not only on the arms, chest, back, and even on the face and neck, but also patches, layer by layer, red and itchy, especially in spring and at night, it will itch to death, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat. Su Xue stood in front of Miaomeng and looked at the shopkeeper with a faint gaze.

Miao Meng hid behind Su Xue, and couldn't help but snicker when she heard this, Miss's ability to bluff people is getting stronger and stronger now, and it is the same as the truth.

The shopkeeper was really frightened, because Jiang Suxue just said that he had such red sores on his body every year, and they were even more flooded in the spring, so that he didn't dare to make love to his wife.

And this kind of red sore has nothing but itching, he thought to himself that this is not a terrible thing, so he was embarrassed to take it off and show it to the doctor, so he could only endure it silently.

Unexpectedly, a girl's family said this. He was a little embarrassed and a little surprised, looked at Su Xue with a serious face, and asked mysteriously, "You...... Do you have such red sores too? ”

He thought that he had found someone who was sympathetic, otherwise how could she know so clearly about a girl's family?

Looking at the shopkeeper's appearance that he was afraid of being listened to by others, Su Xue couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth and said coldly: "I'm not as unlucky as the shopkeeper, I contracted such a sore." ”

As soon as he heard the word "sore", the shopkeeper's face suddenly changed. He had been suffering from this, but he had never seen it as a disease. He felt that he was just young and vigorous, and he had some rashes, and besides, this was just very itchy, and there was no other harm at all, and he would not infect others. It doesn't even die, how can it be considered a disease?

He wanted to refute, but unexpectedly, Su Xue didn't give him a chance, so he pulled Miaomeng and turned around and walked out, and couldn't help but sigh in his mouth: "It's no wonder, living in such a humid place all year round, it's strange that you don't get sores, if I stay here for one night, I'm afraid I will have to drink winter melon and barley soup for a whole month to be at ease......"

The shopkeeper listened with his ears pricked up, heard the winter melon and barley soup, thought for a while, and finally laughed like a treasure.

Miao Meng followed behind Su Xue and couldn't help muttering, "Miss likes to drink winter melon and barley soup?" ”

Su Xue looked at Miaomeng and smiled faintly: "I don't have red sores, what kind of winter melon and barley soup do I drink?" ”

Miao Meng Nunu mouth, so in this way, Miss is helping the shopkeeper? Miao Meng was a little depressed, Miss had encountered such bullies before, didn't she all rush up and fight? Anyway, as long as the identity is said, the shopkeeper can only kneel on the ground and be beaten alive.

But how to ...... this time

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

Just thinking about it, Su Xue said faintly: "But if you live in such a clammy and cold house like him, even if you drink barley soup for half your life, you may not be able to get better." ”

Miaomeng suddenly felt relieved of her hatred and burst out laughing.

Until it was dark, they could not find an inn with a vacant room. Finally, they turned back to the street of Xiangyun Inn.

Su Xue paused, and looked at the Xiangyun Inn with two red lanterns hanging at the door, thinking that the inn had been contracted by the Jiang Mansion. It's really good to be powerful, no wonder no matter how hard she worked in her previous life, she could only be a medicine grabber, and her identity determines her treatment, which is really true.

As night approached, the streets darkened and the cold wind blew gently.

Miao Meng grabbed Jiang Suxue's sleeve and said timidly, "Miss, otherwise...... Go to Xiangyun Inn, even if you will be scolded, it is better than sleeping on the street. Besides, the second wife loves you so much, she will definitely persuade the second master when she turns around......"

Su Xue looked at Miaomeng and smiled coldly, the second wife loves her? If the second wife really loved her, it would never be possible to agree to her marriage with the Shen family.

It's just that the virtuous reputation of the second wife is by no means something that can be subverted by her three or two sentences. Many things, say, are useless, and when the water falls, the stone will naturally come out.
