Chapter 236: A private interview with Weifu
Standing on a high place, looking at the smoke of the camp, Lu Hanqiang and the prince had a wordless chat, at this time the little fat man ran back with the list of goods, reported the results of the inventory of goods, and after getting Lu Hanqiang's approval, the little fat man said again: "Brother-in-law, since this morning, I have found that there are suspicious people near our team, maybe there are already strong people eyeing us." When he said this, there was definitely a rare seriousness on his face.
Lu Hanqiang smiled slightly, "There won't be too many strongmen near Gyeonggi, so everyone should be careful." Then he looked at the tall city wall in the distance, and turned back to the prince and said, "The army has been marching for two days in a row, and the military camp is difficult, why don't we two go into the city to rest, and we can check how our business is doing?" ”
Wang Gonggong replied with a smile: "Lord Lu, please take care of yourself, our family still lives here, and it is better to rest early, so I won't accompany you back and forth." "The prince is making it clear that the carriage and horses are not mixed with you.
Lu Hanqiang arched his hand and said: "Then I can't live with the prince." ”
After bidding farewell to the prince, Lu Hanqiang found Zhang Zihan and Zhang Ruyun and said that he wanted to take them into the city.
The smoke and dust of the two-day march were billowing from the two-day march, and the two women thought that their bodies had stinked to death, but the barracks were full of men, and they couldn't take a bath, and they were uncomfortable.
Especially Ruyun, who is an overweight fan of martial arts, fantasizes about the process of private interviews in micro-service, so in the storytelling, there must be a story of anti-violence and peace, which can just satisfy her dream of a heroine.
So the little fat man was left to lead the army camp, and Lu Hanqiang let the two girls wear veils and change their clothes, so as not to be recognized by the shopkeeper of the trading house, and the three of them entered Changping City without an entourage.
When I entered the city, I inquired about the inn of the trading house, and immediately someone gave Lu Hanqiang advice. According to the instructions, the three of them rode forward, and from a distance, they saw that behind a string of atmospheric air dead wind lanterns, a golden plaque flashed domineeringly, and the six big characters of "Royal Post Courier Company" were strong and powerful.
Under the door, there are two young men who look like men, who are warmly entertaining the guests who come in and out.
Lu Hanqiang looked left and right, the position of this firm is very good, because Changping is the northwest into Beijing, the post station has many places and Beijing bigwigs to and fro, this post station is also the place where the local officials stammered with their bosses and showed their faces, so they also made a lot of effort in the building, the style is bright and the facilities are comprehensive, and now after changing to the business house inn, it is a tide of guests, in the short time that Lu Hanqiang watched, there were three waves of guests staying.
The three of them urged the horse forward, and the little two had sharp eyes, and greeted them early, saluted in front of the three horses, and then introduced with a smile: "The three young masters, do you want to stay in the hotel?" Our royal post house is the emperor's industry, not only complete facilities, but also absolutely guaranteed safety, at the same time, the three of you can also touch the emperor's luxury, but also to the emperor to do a loyal to the emperor. ”
Lu Hanqiang rode on the horse and looked at the second daughter and said with a smile, "Look at what this little brother said, then we will live here, and we will also be exposed to the emperor's dragon spirit." ”
The second girl deliberately hesitated, and when the little two saw it, they immediately came over and grabbed Lu Hanqiang's horse halter, and walked to the inn without saying anything, and said as she walked: "This young master, your choice is right, these years are not very peaceful, three people like you who do not travel with bodyguards are really unsafe, but once you stay in our inn, it will be considered a guarantee ticket for you, not only is it comfortable to live, but there is absolutely no one who dares to come to us to fight the autumn wind and make trouble, this year, a thousand days at home, it is difficult to go out everywhere, It's better to be careful, and it's not easy to worry about the family? ”
As he spoke, Xiao Er had already led Lu Hanqiang's horse to the door, and Xiao Er had already come to get off the horse and waited to invite the second daughter to dismount.
"This master, it's not that the rules of our store are big, so we have to get off the horse in front of the door." The little second said apologetically but proudly: "Because it is hung on that lintel, but it is the handwriting of Long Live today, the civil official dismounts the sedan chair and the military attache dismounts, this is awe." ”
Lu Hanqiang nodded: "Long live handwriting, of course I don't dare to collide." So he clumsily climbed off the horse and arched his hand at the plaque, and the little two hurriedly stood aside and returned the salute, which was considered a salute.
Of course, the three horses were taken away and taken care of, and Xiao Er led Lu Hanqiang into the courtyard and went directly to the main hall.
The main hall was originally a place where the officials were stationed to receive local officials and gentry to meet, but at this time it has been changed to a canteen restaurant, and it has passed the meal, and it is clean, but there are three or two tables of guests, a small two is waiting diligently there, there is a tall fence cabinet inside, the paint is still fresh, I think this is prepared later, behind the fence a person with a flat turban, about fifty years old, is there crackling abacus, seeing Xiao Er leading Lu Hanqiang and the three people in, immediately put down the work in his hand, trotted up to greet him, "Three guest officers, but do you eat or stay in a hotel?" We are clean and fast to eat, and we are neat and safe to live in. ”
Lu Hanqiang raised his hand to stop the shopkeeper who was about to start rambling, and said with a smile, "But Lord Yicheng? "This is the original title, Yicheng actually has no grade and no money, but he is also a petty official who is not in the stream.
"Don't dare to let the son call him that, it's all old and old, now." Pointing to his nose, he said proudly: "I am already a member of the emperor, and I was entrusted by the emperor to be the treasurer of the royal trading house here, and we are called the chief manager internally." ”
Lu Hanqiang snickered, and was trusted by the emperor, the emperor didn't even know who you were, so you dared to pull up the tiger skin as a banner, but I like this tiger skin.
"Can there be three good rooms? Is there a place to wash up in the room? ”
"Yes, yes, but it's a coincidence, a few guest officers just left, and they are also with their female dependents, and they happen to be three independent courtyards, do you want to see them?"
Lu Hanqiang nodded, and then said to Ruyun, who was looking around curiously: "Little sister, you accompany your sister to have a look, if you agree, settle it." ”
Ruyun frowned, looking at the smiling guy, he was a little embarrassed.
The shopkeeper immediately saw the clue, and hurriedly shouted at the back with a smile: "Xiaoqin comes out and receives female guests." ”
As the voice fell, as soon as the curtain was lifted, a young girl came out, dressed plainly, but cleaned up neatly, and after coming out, she took Zihan's hand familiarly: "Sister is hard, my name is Xiaoqin, if you don't dislike it, let me wait for my sister when I live here." ”
Zhang Zihan was delighted, and also played the violin, and followed her as she walked back, asking questions and questions.
Lu Hanqiang smiled and said: "The shopkeeper is very thoughtful, but I didn't see any waitresses in my guest house." ”
"Waiter? Oh, you mean this girl, that's what we only have as things go along. "As he spoke, he asked Lu Hanqiang to sit down on a chair." In our place, it was originally me, an old fellow, with ten post guards to greet the officials, but after this was changed to a commercial inn, this business was very hot, so there was a shortage of manpower, and many of the merchants came and went with female dependents, all of whom wanted to be safe and noble here, so the family members of our family members came up to help. ”
