Chapter 9 Four Seas Inn
Lan Yi doesn't have Chun Tao's memory, so she is very passive now, and all the valuable information she has is obtained from Yirou.
"To sum up, I know that the baby's real name is Wenxuan, his mother's name is 'Yirou', his father's word is 'Ziyuan', the enemy is 'Wang Tiangui', and it is the Wang housekeeper at home who helped Yirou escape. Poor few! ā
In these many unclear circumstances, she can only take her children to escape from right and wrong. After all, the place of escape was chosen by Steward Wang, and if he could get out, he should be able to find himself and his children, and he would be able to understand it at that time.
"What if this king's steward is unreliable?" Lan Yi shook her head, "Probably not." ā
She carefully recalled Zi Yuan's letter to Yi Rou, this Wang Steward was Zi Yuan's confidant, otherwise he would not let him bring back his tokens and private seals. "If Steward Wang can't be trusted, this letter and tokens can't reach Yirou's hands, and he doesn't need to make a fake household registration for Yirou to help her escape. It's just that I don't know how he chose this place in Dengzhou, but there are people over there to answer it. ā
Lan Yi suddenly thought of an important question: "What about me?" No, it's a spring peach? There are only Yirou and the baby on the fake household registration, there is no record of Chun Tao, and Yi Rou does not have Chun Tao's deed of sale and other identity documents, and Chun Tao's body is even cleaner, except for jewelry and purses, there is nothing else. ā
From Chun Tao's age, clothing, dress, Yirou's attitude and the baby's familiarity with Chun Tao, it is not difficult to judge that Chun Tao should be Yirou's maid.
"Don't you need any ID or anything like that?" Lan Yi said secretly, but immediately shook her head, "It shouldn't be possible." ā
Lan Yi shook his head, it shouldn't be, judging from the fact that he was being interrogated in Sister-in-law's village, if he was three people at that time, he would definitely be asked about Chun Tao's identity.
"Could it be that there is no Chun Tao in the escape plan arranged by Steward Wang, she just came out by accident?" Lan Yi held the baby and pondered, she couldn't find out what the real situation was now, and she could only take the child to Dengzhou to see the situation as originally planned.
Lan Yi felt a little more relaxed after thinking about this, and bought a small clay pot with a lid for two pennies on the side of the road, "Since I am a new widow and returned to my hometown, my husband's ashes should be brought." ā
Lan Yi twisted her sore arm, "Baby, our mother and son have a hard life, my mother is tired, let's find a place to rest first." ā
She walked along the street and found two inns, whose names were very popular: the Li Family Inn and the Four Seas Inn.
There is no difference in the appearance of the inn, it is a three-story building facing the street, and the little second brother who greeted him at the door of the Four Seas Inn is dressed more neatly and refreshingly, so Lan Yi chose this Four Seas Inn as a resting place.
Entering the inn, not far from the door is the counter with the wine jar, behind the counter sits an old man, looking sixty years old, gray hair neatly combed, a bamboo hairpin horizontally inserted into the bun, clear eyes, kind face.
"Grandpa, this little lady wants to stay in the hotel." The shopkeeper behind Lan Yi shouted. Lan Yi burst into tears, and she was a little lady again...... After listening to a lot of costume TV series, the **ruffian on the side of the road calls the woman who wants to **, in her opinion, these two words are the same as 'flower girl'.
"There are upper, middle and lower third-class rooms in the hotel, the upper class rooms are 100 wen a day, the middle 50 wen is 50 wen, the lower class is 10 wen, and the upper and medium rooms are served with hot water. This inferior guest room is a chase shop, and it is inconvenient for the little lady to take the child, so it is better not to choose. Although Lan Yi has a sick face and wears a wooden hairpin, but this dress is brand new, the store naturally does not build yƬ She goes to live in a chase shop, and in this era, only men who come out to work will choose this kind of chase shop, and the women's stay in the hotel is at least a medium room.
"I want a medium room for three days." Lan Yi sighed that the inn is not cheap, "Please help me choose a well-ventilated and secluded room, the little woman with the child is afraid of noisy other guests." ā
"Okay, the little lady will pay 100 Wen first."
Lan Yi took out a string of copper coins left over from buying clothes from the baggage and handed it to the old man, thinking that the ancients should also invent small paper money, otherwise these hundreds of copper coins are not only heavy, but also inconvenient to count.
After counting the copper coins, the shopkeeper took down a number plate behind him and asked Xiao Er to take Lan Yi to the guest room.
Lan Yi thought she would go upstairs directly, but the shopkeeper took her through the dining room on the first floor and into the courtyard at the back.
The flowers and plants in the courtyard are in full bloom, a few pear trees are also blooming very well, and bees and butterflies are dancing up and down around the flowers and trees. There are some rattans planted on both sides of the curved corridor, the young buds are yellow and green, and the branches have not yet been covered. He read softly, "Huang Siniang's house is full of flowers, and thousands of flowers are low. Stay and dance from time to time, and the warbler is just crying. Baby, do you think that's the case? ā
The baby was so curious that he looked at the butterfly with wide eyes, stretched out his little fat hand to grab it, and ignored the sour appearance of Lan Yi's hanging school bag.
The shopkeeper took Lan Yi's mother and son up to a two-story wooden building, stood at the door of a room on the east side of the second floor that said 'Dizi No. 8', and said to Lan Yi politely: "Little lady, this is your room, grandpa specially chose a window to face the garden, which is secluded and ventilated and light." ā
Lan Yi thanked Xiao Er of the shop, took the door number and a door lock, and couldn't help but say to Xiao Er again, "The little woman's husband's surname is Wang, and the little second brother can call me Mrs. Wang." I wonder if the second brother can help me prepare some hot water? ā
Xiao Er nodded and retreated, Lan Yi knew what she was talking about, and she didn't know if it was reasonable, but she didn't buy something, she would leave after buying, and let the family call the little lady twice. She has to go to the Four Seas Inn for two or three days, and someone who looks up and bows her head calls her a little lady, which really makes her unbearable.
Push the door in and look inside, although the house is not big, the furniture is half-old, but it is clean and tidy, and there is no smell in the house. Lan Yi found that there was a half-human-high wooden bath bucket behind a wooden carved four screens, and her eyes instantly flashed with five hundred watts of light, and she was finally able to take a bath.
Lan Yi walked over and pushed open the small wooden lattice window of the other toilet pasted with white gauze, Lan Yi looked down, it was the small garden she had just passed, there was a pear blossom not far from the window, the fragrance was faint, she was very satisfied. "If this is an orthodox garden hotel in modern times, fifty yuan a day is definitely worth the price."
After a while, Xiao Er sent boiling water to drink and warm water to wash his face, Lan Yi put the baby on the bed and grabbed the tassel of the bed and let him play by himself, scrubbed his little hands and face with warm water, cleaned himself slightly, and fed him warm boiled water to let him sit on the bed and play by himself, and began to tidy up his baggage. "The baby is good, my mother tidies up things, is it okay for the baby to look here?" The one-year-old child already has a certain memory and understanding, so she keeps repeating to the baby that she is a mother, so that he can accept this reality to the fullest. Valuable things naturally have to be carried close to the body, although the inn has a door lock, it is just for show. The dirty clothes that need to be cleaned need to be cleaned, Chuntao's original two sets of coats can't be worn, Lan Yi plans to cut them with boiling water and cut them to make diapers and handkerchiefs for the baby, and the clothes bought from Sister-in-law Niu also need to be washed. Lan Yi was thinking about the three days in this hotel, and she had to inquire about how to go to Dengzhou. "Time is pressing, so it's better to move quickly." Lan thought about what else to prepare, what things need to be started early, although she is a little loose, but how to say that she has studied management for four years, and there are still adjustments and plans for doing things, "A little more preparation, a little less danger." ā
Lan Yi cleared her mind and let out a sigh of relief, put on new clothes for the baby, and decided to go to fill her stomach first, the baby should also be hungry.
