Chapter 248: Squeezing Eyebrows
Ma Liu asked, "How many rooms are there in the upper class?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "There is only one first-class room, and there are only three ordinary rooms." ”
Seeing this, Ma Liu said to Xiao Yulin: "Childe, we can't live here, let's go and see other places?" ”
The shopkeeper was willing to let go of the rich man, and hurriedly said: "Slow down! It's not that the old man boasts, in the whole town, there is only the old man who has a first-class house here. There were two smaller inns elsewhere in town, where there were no superior rooms, and which were now full. Some of the customers in the old shop came from those two inns. ”
Shopkeeper: "The inn here is a little more expensive than the other two, but it is expensive!" If it is not early today, it is advisable for guests to enter the mountain, or just out of the mountain, or to rest early. ”
The shopkeeper glanced at everyone again and said, "Actually, this is also easy to arrange!" In the upper class, the son and the lady share a room. The two girls and this girl want to serve Mrs. Gongzi, so they naturally have to stay in the house. In the other three rooms, a few generals will be on it, but they can also rest, and a few more quilts will be added to the old decay. If it really doesn't work, there are two rooms in the attic, although the conditions are worse, you can sleep if you make do, and the old ones are cheaper. ”
Ma Liu said unhappily: "Do you look at us, like people who are short of money? ”
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The son is a rich and noble family, and the old man still has this bit of eyesight!" It's just that if you want to settle you, that's all you can do. Small shops also have to make a living, so they can't be said to be given away for free, right? Because of the inconvenience caused to the guest officer, the old man will count less room money. ”
Without waiting for Ma Liu to argue with the shopkeeper again, Xiao Yulin said: "That's it!" The attic is also needed, and as much as it should be calculated, it will be given as much as it should be. ”
Ma Liu said to the shopkeeper: "Why don't you hurry up and lead the way?" ”
The shopkeeper replied, "Yes! Be! Guest officer, please come with the old man! ”
Subsequently, the shopkeeper led Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi upstairs, and told them the location of several other guest rooms.
When he came to the first-class room, Xiao Yulin looked at the furnishings here, and immediately frowned, indicating that he was not very satisfied with this place.
Seeing this, Ma Liu said to the shopkeeper: "Aren't you old man scolding me? As far as you're concerned, it's still a first-class room? Have you never seen a superior room or something? ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Guest officer, please stop your anger!" This town is a remote place, and the small shop has such conditions, which is already good, and I ask the guest to forgive me! If the old man dares to deceive the guest officer, turn back, and the guest officer will smash the old man's signboard! ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Although the things in here are not very valuable, they are still clean. This is located in a remote place, if you lose something, the shopkeeper will have to make a loss-making transaction. ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's still Madame who can understand the difficulties of old decay!" In the early years, it was too peaceful. It's just that last year, there was a blizzard in the west, and some of the victims were scattered all over the country. There is a large area of mountainous land in the north of the town, and some of the rogues hide in the mountains and forests, and occasionally come out to cause trouble in the surrounding area. Officers and soldiers could not deliberately go into the mountains to search and suppress, but only waited for the rogues to go out of the mountains and catch up. ”
Shopkeeper: "Before, the small shop also lost a lot of money, so now they have replaced those valuables." If there are thieves who come to patronize, it is better to lose less. The shop is located in an open area, and ordinary rogues don't come to it much. It's just that, in order to prevent it from happening, the old decay has to prepare early. ”
Shopkeeper: "Uh...... The same goes for the other two! Moreover, those two places are more remote, and now they don't even dare to release some valuable things in the house! Therefore, Lao Yu has to say that the conditions here are much better than the other two! ”
Zhong Yuqi looked at Xiao Yulin and said, "There is still such a thing? ”
Xiao Yulin said: "After a catastrophe, it is inevitable that there will be displaced people. After a while, there will be peace. We only stayed here for one night and with so many people there was no need to worry. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The guest officer is tired of traveling and driving, and he must be tired. The old man then asked someone to bring hot water, so that the guest officer could wash and rest. ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "Send more hot water, I want to bathe." ”
The shopkeeper replied again and again: "Yes! Be! ”
Ma Liu took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "In addition to sending hot water, and sending some hot meals to the attic, there are still people who have not eaten dinner." ”
When the shopkeeper saw the denomination of the silver ticket, he was immediately overjoyed, and replied again and again: "Yes!" Be! The old man will go to prepare, please rest for a while! ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper quickly turned around and went to do business.
Ma Liu instructed the other guards to go to the attic to prepare for dinner, leaving only Zhao Ze'an and Jin Tiannan here.
When he was at Liao Xiangbin's house before, Zhao Ze'an, Jin Tiannan, and the guards in the kitchen had eaten, and before the other guards had time to eat, Xiao Yulin ordered to leave.
Ma Liu whispered to Xiao Yulin: "Lord Wang, there are only three guest rooms, how should the Lord arrange it?" ”
As he spoke, Ma Liu frowned at Xiao Yulin.
Xiao Yulin glanced at Zhong Yuqi and said, "Naturally, Miss Zhong was allowed to sleep in the first-class room, and this king went to sleep elsewhere." ”
Ma Liu said: "How can it be done? The prince has always been comfortable, even if he sleeps in a carriage or tent, it is better than an ordinary guest room, right? Just looking at the layout of this first-class room, the prince was already dissatisfied, how could he go to sleep somewhere else? ”
Zhong Yuqi said: "I don't have so much attention, let the prince sleep here, I'll go to other places!" I'm in a room with Chunhua and Qiushi, and Yanyue. ”
Ma Liu said: "How crowded is that? I can't even sleep well if I don't have any! It's better that Wang Ye and Miss Zhong both sleep in the first-class room, and Chunhua and Qiushi sleep in the ordinary room, and I can sleep in the same room with Manager Zhao and Jin Tiannan. ”
Zhong Yuqi said to Ma Liu: "It's a little uneven here, you and Manager Zhao want to protect the prince's thoughtfulness, so naturally you have to be in the same room with the prince." ”
Ma Liu said: "The prince's thoughtfulness has his own peerless shadow for them to take care of. We are also tired during the day, and we need to rest well in the evening, and we can continue to rush tomorrow. Wang Ye and Miss Zhong will be married soon, and now it is okay to sleep in the same room, and we will not talk much. Besides, in the eyes of outsiders, Miss Zhong is the wife of the prince, so how can she sleep separately again? ”
Zhao Ze'an also said: "Yes! The shopkeeper just said that this place is a little uneven, and the other two rooms are not together, if Miss Zhong and the prince are in the same room, the leader of the Shadow will also take care of them together. After being away for so many days, they also need to take turns to rest. ”
