Chapter 231: Black Heart
"Little Er, is there any room available?" Lin Huiru asked when he entered the door.
It is not safe to sleep outside, and it is only a matter of half a tael of silver to stay for a day, although it is difficult for Xu Ziqiao and Li Ji to accept, but Lin Huiru is now very rich.
"Hey, we only have two rooms left now, and the three of them are also in Beijing to catch the exam, and it is estimated that they are all full." As soon as Xiao Er saw that there was business coming to the door, he hurriedly greeted him warmly.
Lin Huiru nodded, "Then there are two rooms, and then send some simple food, and there is a carriage outside, how much is it in total?"
"No more, no less, I'll give you two taels of silver." Xiao Er grinned and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, which surprised Lin Huiru a lot.
"Two taels of silver? What's so expensive?" Li Ji couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Er glanced at Li Ji with disdain, and saw that Lin Huiru still had jewelry, which should be the richest among the three, so he calculated the account with her, "Miss, we only have a good wing room left, one is only one or two silver, and the rest of the rights are given to you by our store." ”
The corners of Lin Huiru's mouth twitched, a room is only one tael of silver, a thousand yuan, two taels of silver is enough for the people in the village to live for more than a year, this store is going to be robbed, right?!
"It's too dark for you, this is a robbery, we just came out of Wei County, and two hundred wen a night is enough there, and you actually want one or two silver here!?" Li Ji is a person who can't hide his words, and after scolding in his heart, he can't help but make his words clear.
"Don't, we have a clear price, and we don't let you live in the money, you can live if you love it, you can't stop pulling it down, and there is no accommodation in front, whatever you want." Seeing that they were a little hesitant, the child's enthusiasm instantly diminished a lot, and he went to wipe the counter next to him with a wave of the sweat towel in his hand.
Li Ji was still talking to Xu Ziqiao about how unreasonable the charges of this store were, Lin Huiru rubbed his temples with a headache, now it will be closer and closer to the capital, and the price of goods can be understood, but it is just another county, and the price of goods has risen several times, which is inevitably a little too black-hearted.
But this place is not in front of the village and there is no store in the back, as Xiao Er said, if you go further, maybe you will have to go until dawn to find another inn, Xu is accurate about this, these people dare to be so arrogant to make the price too high.
It's not a problem to walk for a while, but there will inevitably be robbers or bandits in such a desolate place, after all, it's not a peaceful world. For the sake of safety, Lin Huiru could only wait for Yuan Datou silently, took out two taels of silver from his purse and slapped it on the counter, "Send us food." ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to be so happy, our cooks are about to rest." Xiao Er checked the silver, put it away, muttered, turned around and left, "Your room is connected to the left hand side after going upstairs." ”
"What kind of attitude is this, we spent two taels of silver." Li Ji's uneven momentum has not disappeared, if it weren't for Xu Ziqiao stopping him, maybe he would have jumped up to beat that little second by now.
Lin Huiru sighed, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, it was a big deal to pay attention before complaining in the future, after all, it was already night, and these people just squeezed them when they couldn't go any further, "Okay, aren't you tired after a day of traveling." ”
Seeing that Lin Huiru didn't say anything, Li Ji could only stop, this was just less than a quarter of the distance, Lin Huiru had already spent ten taels of silver, and Li Ji's heart was dripping blood for her.
When Xiao Er brought the so-called meals, it was the time when the three of them were really angry.
Three bowls of porridge with a stack of pickles, as well as a boiled cabbage and a mapo tofu.
"This is the meal you sent to the guest room for two taels of silver?!" Li Ji slapped his chopsticks on the table and yelled angrily.
Xiao Er looked indifferent, "Who made you come late, our cooks are gone, I can't cook, you can make do with it." ”
"Forget it, don't worry about him, it's just a hammer business." Lin Hui didn't have the mood to say any more like that little er, after all, he was very tired from sitting in the car for several days in a row, not to mention that it would not be good for them to argue, and this shop must be a grasshopper after the autumn.
It didn't take long.
After the night passed, the next morning there were meat buns and sweet porridge, plus the horses were also full of grass and food, and there was no shortage of things, Lin Huiru's mood was a little balanced.
Now they can meet a lot of people who want to go to the capital like them on the road, and the people who pass the township test are much more than Lin Huiru thought, and they have to go out a lot, not to mention that a town has to appear a dozen.
"Seeing that such a big battle has to go to the capital, and in the end, there are only a few people who can stay with a smile, which is really tragic." Li Ji put down the book, glanced outside, and sighed.
"If you don't give it a try, how can you know if you have a good future." Xu Ziqiao turned the page of the book he was reading and replied.
Originally, Lin Huiru still had some expectations for this kind of long-distance trip, but the road in the past few days made him feel that it was really difficult to walk half the way, and the capital was getting closer and closer, and the villages and towns were gradually getting richer.
And they also met a lot of students walking on the road to Beijing, all roads lead to Rome, and some people live in Rome or live near Rome.
The closer this situation is to the capital, the more serious it becomes, and when Lin Huiru stays in the future, he can always see a few people who are very rich in their families, live in Shangxiang, and can also talk about a table full of delicacies in groups of three or five.
These people are basically the children of official eunuchs, and their positions are neither high nor low, but they still have a fortune.
The sound of downstairs looking for fun continued until late at night, and the noisy Lin Huiru couldn't sleep at all, she pushed open the door and looked down, originally wanted to open her mouth to remind her, but there were too many people on the other side, not to mention that they were all guarding the side with their families.
Just when Lin Huiru was about to go crazy, a woman below suddenly looked up at her, then cleared her throat, and said in her faintly visible voice, "It's not too early, there are still many students who are rushing to take the exam, let's rest early, I'm tired, don't bother others anymore." ”
