Chapter 122: Nowhere to Go
Shen Zhengwen took his family to the south of the city, found a clean inn, and asked for two rooms.
The lantern festival only starts at night, and it is rare for the family to come to the city, so it is natural to have a good time.
The mountain road is too dangerous at night, so Shen Zhengwen plans to take his family to stay in the city for one night and go back tomorrow morning.
Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and there are many people who come to the city to see the excitement.
The inn was overcrowded, and the house prices had risen a lot.
On weekdays, a room costs only seventy or eighty yuan, but today it has risen to one hundred yuan.
Li Rulan frowned distressedly when she saw that it was so expensive to stay overnight.
Two rooms are two hundred dollars, enough for her to make a few clothes for the child.
She grabbed Shen Zhengwen and whispered, "Wen Lang, why don't we go somewhere else?" ”
Shen Zhengwen told her softly: "I have inquired in advance yesterday, and this is already the cheapest inn in the south of the city." Don't worry, I have enough money. Besides, we can still earn money after the money is spent. ”
When Li Rulan heard her say this, she was relieved.
"I said, do you want these two rooms?" The man asked them in a loud voice, "There are only the last two rooms left, and if there are other guests later, there will be none." ”
Shen Zhengwen hurriedly said: "I want it!" I want the last two rooms! ”
"Little Er, bring us two wings!"
Just as Shen Zhengwen was taking out the money, two big men walked into the inn, took out a bunch of money and slapped it on the counter.
"Ouch, two masters, it's really unfortunate." The guy smiled and explained, "The last two rooms have been given by this guest officer. The shop is full, so please take a look elsewhere. ”
The two big men glanced at Shen Zhengwen disdainfully, "Has he paid?" ”
"This ......," the guy hesitated, "the money hasn't been paid yet, but it's been said ......."
"If you haven't paid it, it's not decided yet!" Dahan slapped the counter, "Don't fuck you long-winded, Lao Tzu has run around, only your house is still left!" This is a penny, no need to look for it, we need two rooms, is there a problem? ”
The guy wanted to say something, but the shopkeeper hurriedly walked over and pushed the guy aside, and agreed to the two big men with a smile.
"No problem, no problem, the last two rooms are yours!"
These two big men are tall and big, with fierce faces, and they look very difficult to mess with, so they don't need to offend.
Besides, people give a lot, a penny is a thousand dollars, it stands to reason that it is enough to open ten rooms, but they only need two rooms.
In this way, the shopkeeper is equivalent to earning 800 wen for nothing.
And these two people are so generous, they may give some reward money when the time comes.
The shabby family is really incomparable.
The shopkeeper was very happy, and was about to take the two big men to the upstairs wing.
"Wait!" Shen Zhengwen stopped the shopkeeper, "The shopkeeper, obviously we came to book the room first, how can you go back on your word and give it to others?" ”
The shopkeeper said impatiently: "These two masters have a lot of money to book a house, can you afford it?" I opened the door to do business, not charity, so naturally I went to make money! Go away, go away, look elsewhere, don't get in my way. ”
Shen Zhengwen was speechless when he said this.
The shopkeeper is right, people are open to do business just to make money.
Although he does not approve of this method, he has no reason to cut off other people's financial routes.
Tiezi was unconvinced: "But the shopkeeper, you are too dishonest like this!" ”
Although he didn't learn a few words taught by the master, he still understood some of the truth.
The Master once said that to be honest, we must do what we say.
The shopkeeper said disdainfully: "Integrity? Can integrity be exchanged for money? ”
After saying that, he took the two big men and went upstairs.
Shen Zhengwen touched Tiezi's head, "Tiezi, don't be affected by that shopkeeper, just insist on being yourself." ”
"And a few of you." He looked around the children and said, "You remember, money can be earned slowly, but if people lose their integrity, they will lose the trust of others, and the gains will outweigh the losses." So you must be honest and not be misled by others. ”
Tiezi nodded vigorously, and he thought the same thing.
When Huzi and the others heard this, they all had thoughtful expressions.
Only Xiao Niannian frowned as if he was worried.
Yes, she's just worried.
Originally, the conditions of the Shen family in the entire Taoli Village could be said to be the best.
He ate fish and meat every day, and bought a big mule cart.
But when she arrived in the city, she realized how poor the Shen family was.
At the beginning, she always thought that it would be good for the family to eat well, eat well, and live happily together.
Now she knows that she is still too narrow-minded.
It turns out that without money, it will really be difficult to move an inch.
Not only will you be looked down upon, but you won't even be able to live in an inn.
Before that, she had never been to Qingzhou City.
She knew that the city would definitely be better than Taoli Village, but she didn't expect it to be so good.
The roads in the city are paved with bluestone slabs, and when it rains, you won't be thrown off by the mud.
The houses in the city are very beautiful in a row, and such a big house must be very comfortable to live in.
The clothes in the city are also very beautiful, with a variety of styles and colors, like a work of art.
On top of that, there are so many fun and delicious things to eat in the city, and you must be happy to live in the city with your family.
Xiao Niannian had a very strong idea in his heart.
She wants her family to move to the city, live a good life, and become a rich man!
Shen Zhengwen didn't know what Xiao Niannian was thinking, he looked out the door, a little unsure where to go.
Just now, the two big men said that there were no rooms in the inn outside.
I finally took the children out to play today, do you want to go home?
Seeing that they still hadn't left, the guy came over and gave an eviction order: "A few guest officers, we don't have a room here, you guys should go and have a look elsewhere!" ”
Shen Zhengwen took his family and got on the mule cart again.
Just when he didn't know where to go, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
When the man saw them, his eyes lit up, and he immediately met them.
"You're running so fast, I've found you!"
Shen Zhengwen was confused, what did the master of the yamen come to do with them?
It's not like they're going to repent, they're going to arrest them, right?
