Chapter 39: Staying in the Hotel
Su Ruoshui lied that she was separated from her family by a tiger on the way to Beijing to visit relatives, and Xiao Er led her into the inn.
"Sir, this girl wants to stay in the hotel." The shopkeeper took her to the hall, and the shopkeeper was settling the accounts with a heavy abacus.
The shopkeeper looked Su Ruoshui up and down, a soft and weak girl's family, can she be rich if she looks like this?
"Girl, you're going to open a private room, right? Thirty copper plates. "The shopkeeper opens a store for profit, if you have money, you live in the store, and if you don't have money, you're sorry.
"Uncle, I was separated from my family on the road and am now penniless. Why don't I give you this pheasant and hare, and when I find my relatives in Beijing, I will return your store money tenfold. Su Ruoshui weighed how the two wild meats in his hand were enough to stay in this small dilapidated inn for one night.
But the shopkeeper is not uncommon, this place is so close to the mountain, and hunting is not difficult. What he needed was money, and he didn't want to pay for it with things, so he went out to rush Su Ruoshui.
Su Ruoshui took off a pair of eight-treasure red gold hook inlaid glass earrings and put them on the table of the shopkeeper. "Uncle, you can send these earrings to the pawnshop to buy this inn, but I beg to spend the night."
"Yo, so I'm taking advantage of you?" The shopkeeper really didn't know gold and jade, and this pair of earrings could be exchanged for ten taels of silver when sent to the pawnshop, enough to buy twenty inns like his. "Honesty comes first, but don't dare to do deceptive things."
The shopkeeper chuckled disdainfully, he didn't have money to say such a big thing, and a pair of earrings could be exchanged for money when he sent it to the pawnshop? Pawnshops don't accept money at all, and they don't make it of silver.
"Uncle, I'm really hungry and thirsty, it's so late, I really can't hurry, you can do it"
"Don't be verbose, take it." The shopkeeper waved his sleeves impatiently and swept a pair of earrings away.
There are six tables in this hall, four of which are served by guests. Everyone also saw this scene, although some people felt pity for Su Ruoshui in their hearts, but who wants to be troublesome when they go out?
The earrings flew impartially towards a young man, one landing on the tip of his shoe and the other into the glass he was holding.
"Shopkeeper, what do you mean by that?" The young man gently lifted the pair of earrings, and the gems on them shone brightly, and they were not ordinary at first glance.
"Ouch, the little old man should die, the little old man should die, he actually polluted the wine of the guest master." The shopkeeper walked out of the counter, nodded and apologized, and hurriedly asked the shopkeeper to take a wine glass for the young man and pour another glass of wine.
"It's convenient for others and for yourself, is there a difference between you driving her away at such a late day and forcing her to die?" The young man looked at Su Ruoshui carefully, although his face was very dirty, he could see the beauty of the country, and although his clothes were torn, he could see that the quality was high, and she was penniless, and she was neither humble nor arrogant.
No matter how you look at it, Su Ruoshui is from a big family, and she is by no means an uninformed poor daughter. Why did she fall so far?
Could it be that he was really separated from his relatives halfway, or escaped from home?
The young man also intuitively felt that Su Ruoshui was a person with a story, how could there be a difference between men and women, otherwise he really wanted to have a good chat with her.
"This, this is really, it's really full. She can't sleep with the men in a girl's house, right? "The most annoying thing about the shopkeeper is this kind of nosy person, standing and talking without backache.
The store is not opened by you, of course you can be a good person, everyone is allowed to live in vain, I drink the northwest wind? "Why don't you spend the night with her?"
'Bang! Without warning, the boy struck the shopkeeper in the face, and his nose was missed, his teeth loosened, and the corners of his mouth cracked.
"Don't be afraid, girl." The young man pulled over the chair and asked Su Ruoshui to sit down. "Everything is with me, you just sit."
Su Ruoshui didn't feel anything when she stood up, and when she sat down, she suddenly felt that the greatest happiness in her life was to have a chair to sit on.
To be honest, her feet are all out of the bubble, and with her current physical strength, she is really at the limit. She could see that the boy had two moments, so she sat down and watched the excitement.
The shopkeeper was knocked to the ground, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He shouted out more than 20 cooks, men, and handymen from the store to surround the young man.
As the saying goes, the car and boat shop has a tooth, and the innocent should be killed. In this barren mountain and wilderness, they dare to open an inn here, and they must have some different ideas.
It's good to say during the day, but if you live here at night with heavy packages, you will either lose your wealth or your life the next day.
Fighting is to pay attention to the tricks, not to have all the arms and legs and have the strength to hit people.
No matter how many reckless people there are, they can't beat people with their strength, and the young man jumps around a few times, and those people beat their own people, and they all beat their cries and shouts for their mothers.
The shopkeeper's job is to usher in the business that is sent to, and he is used to seeing the wind and the rudder, and when he sees that his people are being cleaned up by others, what kind of majesty is he pretending?
hurriedly took out the kind smile that was closer than his relatives: "Alas, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, you see that this is all a misunderstanding." ”
The shopkeeper's grinning face instructed the kitchen to cook something to eat for them: "It's so late, eat something and rest early, don't you have to hurry tomorrow?" ”
Su Ruoshui was indeed hungry, but she was not hungry yet. Those cooks just got a fat beating, and they made them food, will there be ingredients in it?
"Don't bother you, just borrow you two dry firewood and we'll roast it ourselves." Su Ruoshui would rather do it herself than dare to eat what they made.
A fire was set up in the backyard of the inn, and the young man roasted a pheasant decently, and Su Ruoshui sat on the chair with a sore body, tired and drowsy.
The young man took out a cloak and handed it to Su Ruoshui, Su Ruoshui looked more and more charming and moving under the firelight, and the three points of exhaustion seemed to be as pitiful as a sick Xi Shi. "Passers-by can't get anything decent, so let's keep out the wind and cold for the time being."
"Thank you." Su Ruoshui took the cloak and bowed her head, if it weren't for this young man's righteous help, she would not even be able to live in a store today.
Seeing Su Ruoshui's coquettishness, she didn't act awkwardly, didn't pretend to say anything, and took it generously and draped it on her body.
This girl is beautiful and generous, it is really rare. The young man couldn't help but be happy when he saw Su Ruoshui's hair scattered. If it is not knotted, it is to be in the boudoir?
"Girl, I heard that you are going to Beijing to look for relatives, and I am also going to Beijing, why don't we go together tomorrow?"
"If you don't think I'm dragging you down, how far is it from the capital?"
"About two hundred miles."
