Chapter 122 The Bafang Inn lives in the same house, and Xu Xuan avoids suspicion of staying in the stable
Hangzhou City does not have the Yuelai Inn in Qiantang County, Xu Xuan and they choose to stay, it is an inn called Bafang,
However, the timing of Xu Xuan's coming here is not right, these days the imperial court's annual border grain selection is about to begin, which is similar to the current bidding, the selection of strong, honest and reliable merchants, on behalf of the imperial court to transport grain and grass, so as to reduce the imperial court expenditure, the amount of grain transported, is also much more than the imperial court's self-transport.
"Shopkeeper, come to your two guest rooms," Xu Xuan came to the counter of the inn, stretched out his hand and knocked on the table.
The shopkeeper who was bowing his head and writing the accounts said without raising his head, "I'm sorry guest officer, our Bafang Inn is almost full, and now there is only one upper room with the number of the land number left, do you see if you live or not?" However, I want to say more in the next sentence, in this Hangzhou city, our Bafang Inn is just a small inn, if we are full here, other inns, you better not try,"
"What's all that's left for one room?" Xu Xuan was stunned, "Shopkeeper, you don't have any other empty houses?" Can't we think of other ways? ”
The shopkeeper heard Xu Xuan say this, and looked up at Xu Xuan and Bai Suzhen behind him, "Guest officer, I see that you are with your family and live in a room, isn't it right?" If you don't feel too bitter, there is a room full of hay in the stables downstairs, where you can spend the night. ”
When Xu Xuan heard this, he frowned slightly, but he was not a person who couldn't suffer, so he asked, "Boss, how do you calculate the house money if you live in this stable for one night?" ”
The boss stopped what he was doing, looked at Xu Xuan and said, "Childe, I don't think you are a person without money, why do you have to suffer this?" The stable, to tell the truth, is dirty, and smells, and the groom gets up in the middle of the night to feed the horses, and the noise is loud, how can you sleep well? You are not afraid of a man, but are you willing to suffer with your wife and concubine? ”
Xu Xuan's face was red at what the old shopkeeper said, and he just wanted to explain, but Bai Suzhen on the side was already blushing and said
"Childe, what the shopkeeper said is very much, how can the stables be inhabited? In this way, if you are troublesome to the shopkeeper, just clean up this house and take us over."
Xiaoqing, who was standing next to Bai Suzhen, glared at the old shopkeeper fiercely with a red face, this old man, just said that his sister and himself were the wife and concubine of Xu Xiucai next to him, if it weren't for looking at this old man who was old and frail, she Xiaoqing would definitely want him to look good!
But despite this, Xiaoqing still took a silver ingot from the sachet he carried and put it on the table.
"Oh, the shopkeeper has taken a closer look, this is silver, but this girl is not a beautiful concubine of this sour show!"
"Eh, are you the wife of this son? Forgive the old man for being clumsy, I can't compensate my wife, and I'll arrange someone to take you over! After the boss saw the ingot, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he turned around and shouted to the back hall behind him, "Xiao Er, come and take this husband and Mrs. to stay!" ”
Xiaoqing on the side listened to the old shopkeeper say this, and suddenly his pretty face turned even redder, and he stomped his feet full of anger, but he couldn't be anxious with this old man, so he had to glared at Xu Xuan on the side, and his slender hand was even quieter, and he twisted Xu Xuan's arm fiercely.
Xu Xuan was in pain, glanced at Bai Suzhen on the side, and endured it stiffly.
"Okay, the shopkeeper, it's those guests who want to stay in the hotel," Xiao Er's loud voice sounded, and the voice had already come here before the person arrived.
After a while, I saw a short, concisely dressed man come out, take Xu Xuan and them to a guest room on the second floor facing the street, open the door, lead Xu Xuan and them in, while pulling off the towel on his shoulder, wiping the table, and said, "Three, this room, this room is the upper room in the house of the local number, if it weren't for something in the guest officer's house a few days ago, temporarily checked out and left, a few came, I'm afraid I can't even find a place to live, we Hangzhou City, just count the most people now, live here, It's all the work that came to Beijing to grab the grain and grass. ”
Xu Xuan listened to the little er's endless words, and looked at the layout of the room,
When he saw the situation of this room clearly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he thought that the room with the number of the place number could have two rooms inside and outside, but now it seems that it is just a small house of more than ten square meters, and it is okay to live in two people, but it is a little crowded to live in three people
The little er did all this neatly, put away the towel in his hand, turned around and retreated.
"Xu Gongzi, you also heard what the shopkeeper said, Hangzhou is now full of inns, let's squeeze in this room, although the room is simple, you sleep on the bed, Qing'er and I will make a floor on this ground." Bai Suzhen said to Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan shook his head when he heard Bai Suzhen's arrangement, "Miss Bai, I am grateful for today's girl's intentions." But men and women don't kiss, I Xu Xuan live here today, of course, it is better than sleeping on the streets, but if there are people who know you and me, spread the news, I Xu Xuan A man doesn't matter, but it will be detrimental to the reputation of the young lady, so I will go to the stables to squeeze in for a night with the explanation of the shopkeeper, this room, or two girls live."
After speaking, without waiting for Bai Suzhen to object, Xu Xuan opened the door and walked out, waiting for Xu Xuan to come to the corridor outside the door, feeling the cool night breeze outside the door, as well as the mosquitoes rushing to his face, but he couldn't help but give himself a slap, "Xu Xuan, Xu Xuan, what kind of gentleman are you pretending, isn't it good to promise Miss Promiser?" Well, now I have to go to sleep in this stable, I really find myself guilty. ”
But he has already come out, where is the face running back? He sighed and headed downstairs for the stable. Of course, he will not be pedantic, and then run to the front to say to the shopkeeper, after all, he does not have much money on him, tell the shopkeeper, iron will definitely charge his own room money, rather than this, it is better to sneak into the house to sleep for a night, after all, the money on the body is still very useful, can save a little ah.
"This money, let's stay for the rescue of the master," Xu Xuan touched the silver money on his waist and said with a sigh.
Xu Xuan made up his mind and quietly got into the hay house on the side of the stable. The groom who was in charge of feeding the horses by the stable was not alarmed in the slightest. It's just that Xu Xuan, who thought he was hiding from the sky and the sea, was still looked at, and saw Bai Suzhen standing on the stairs with Xiaoqing, watching Xu Xuan hide in the stable.
"Hmph, my sister is kind, you still don't appreciate it, you deserve to go in and feed the mosquitoes!!" Xiaoqing pouted at Xu Xuan's figure and said.
Bai Suzhen listened to Xiaoqing's words, shook her head and said, "Qing'er, this Xu Gongzi, the reason why he went here to sleep is for our reputation, Xu Gongzi is a righteous gentleman"
Xiaoqing heard Bai Suzhen's words, and pleaded in a low voice, "I didn't say that he was not a good person, but my sister didn't care about his reputation anymore, and he even shirked ......"
Bai Suzhen sighed faintly, "Xu Gongzi, I don't want to have too much to do with us."
After that, Bai Suzhen turned around and walked towards the room, with a slender figure, looking a little lonely.
