864 Fully booked (3rd shift)
When it was almost evening, we finally arrived at Nanxun Town. From a distance, although there is no tall city wall, this town occupies a lot of area, and it is a common people's residence second only to Suzhou City that I have seen in this area all the way. The buildings in the town are all full of the elegance of the south of the Yangtze River, all of them are tiled and brick walls, and even the walls are whitewashed, so you can see that the standard of living here is good at a glance.
On the periphery of Nanxun Town, there are only some fence walls, which symbolically means that the inside of the fence is Nanxun Town. The road leading to the town is full of people and cars, and it is not lively. If you don't know, you think this is at least a city of government!
is so prosperous, so that Emperor Chongzhen and his party are in a good mood. But this good mood disappeared after they entered the town.
"Guest officer, I'm really sorry, the store is full."
Emperor Chongzhen was riding on a horse, and before he got off the horse, he heard a little second person explain to the plainclothes Jinyi Wei who came forward to negotiate with a smile on his face.
When Jin Yiwei heard this, his face immediately darkened. This is the best inn in Nanxun Town, and when the emperor comes, he naturally wants to live in the best inn. You say it's okay if there's no room available? He immediately snorted coldly, and was about to break forward, and at the same time shouted: "Less nonsense, vacate the best house......"
"Forget it, since it's full, it's better to change one." Emperor Chongzhen didn't feel anything, just smiled and said, then turned the horse's head, clamped his legs, and drove the horse forward.
When Jinyiwei heard this, he glared at Xiao Er fiercely, then turned around and followed the emperor.
"Cut, you thought you were rich?" Xiao Er and the others walked away and muttered in a low voice, "There is no shortage of rich people in our town!" ”
arrived at the second-class inn, this time it was Liu Xingzuo who personally stepped forward to arrange the accommodation of the emperor's concubine. Unexpectedly, he couldn't enter the door of the inn, so he was blocked at the door by Xiao Er, and he also said with a smile: "The guest officer is late, and the store has been full as early as two days ago." I'm really sorry! ”
When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen, and then turned back and asked, "Didn't anyone check out?" ”
"The guest officer may be the first time to come to our Nanxun Town, right?" Xiao Er said with a smile, "The head silkworm is about to come down, silk merchants from all over the country came early, at this time, I am afraid that all the inns will be full." If you want to have a vacant room, at least wait until the deal is about the same! ”
"......" Liu Xingzuo was speechless when he heard this, and stood there.
Emperor Chongzhen and the others also heard it, and they were also speechless, it seems that the business here is too good to be scary! No matter how expensive the inn is, there will be no house, and the people who live in the house will live for so many days, which is really not bad money!
Fang Zhenghua approached Emperor Chongzhen and said in a low voice: "Master, why don't you find the local government?" ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You have forgotten, there is no official mansion here!" ”
The official office of the Ming Dynasty is at the county level. Under the county, there is no government, and they are all governed by the gentry. Nanxun Town is no exception, although it is prosperous, it is only a town, not a county, so naturally there is no government.
Fang Zhenghua naturally knew this, but this Nanxun Town was too prosperous, which gave him the illusion that this was the capital city.
This Xiao Er has seen a lot of things like this, and he knows that these people will be embarrassed if they have no place to live, so he smiled and made a suggestion: "Ladies and gentlemen, you can go and find some private houses, some of which are short-term rentals with signs, or you can also find a place to live in Nanxun Town." ”
As a last resort, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to threaten with power, after all, he was an adult soul from the afterlife. Hearing this suggestion, seeing that the residences here were not bad, he didn't care, so he called back Liu Xingzuo and continued to walk along the street.
Liu Xingzuo was not very willing, and called a few of his subordinates to ask them to ask about the rest of the inns, while they themselves were walking slowly on the street.
Not to mention, there are really some private houses here, which are the same as inns, and there are even signs hanging outside, daily and monthly rents, and the price is not low. However, when Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage stepped forward to ask, the result was that they were all full.
Several Jinyi guards sent out by Liu Xingzuo also came back one after another, all shaking their heads, saying that the inn was full, and even one of them said that he was willing to pay several times the price, and he couldn't ask for an empty house.
This result made Emperor Chongzhen and his party stunned. They really didn't expect that there were so many outsiders in Nanxun Town, and they couldn't afford to live anywhere they could.
"Master, why don't we go directly to the biggest squire's house in town, the villain will definitely be able to live if he negotiates." Liu Xingzuo came to Emperor Chongzhen's side and suggested.
As long as the Jinyi Guard's waist card is revealed, he will definitely have a place to live without him, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Emperor Chongzhen listened, looked up at the sky, the setting sun stained the western sky red, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will sink into the western mountain.
He frowned slightly, and was thinking about whether to let Jinyiwei show his identity, when he suddenly heard a surprise voice sound: "This son, you actually came to our Nanxun Town?" ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard it, he saw a man dressed as a man, looking at him with a surprised smile on his face, and at the same time looking at several brocade guards in plain clothes, full of friendliness.
"......" Emperor Chongzhen was a little stunned, and after thinking about it for a long time, he just couldn't remember, who is this person? Do you know yourself?
The others are similar, but Tian Guifei has a good memory, and after a little while, she suddenly realized, and hurriedly turned her head to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Master, the car transported by this person seems to be stuck in the quagmire on the road and can't get out, so the master asked someone to help!" ”
As soon as Tian Guifei's words fell, she heard that the person seemed to see what the reaction of Emperor Chongzhen and his party meant, and continued to smile and said: "Childe doesn't remember, our car fell into the quagmire, and it was Gongzi who asked people to help to push out of the quagmire!" ”
If this is the case, Emperor Chongzhen was reminded and vaguely remembered that there was such a person, so he smiled and nodded in response.
This person looked at Emperor Chongzhen and his party for a while, and then saw them standing in front of the rented house, so he probably guessed something, and said with a smile: "If the prince has no place to stay, it is better to go to my house to rest." It's just that the conditions are a bit simple, but my daughter-in-law is a diligent person, and she is clean. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile in his heart, this is a good person with a good reward, right? It's a good feeling! So, he nodded and said, "In this way, you will have to trouble the little brother." ”
"The villain Chen Youming, the son's name is Xiao Chen, everyone calls me that." Chen Youming introduced himself with a smile, and then led the way in front of his head.
