Chapter 168 The Four Sages of the Ancient Mountains
The sun was rising in the east and the sky was getting brighter. The Four Saints of Gushan managed to survive the whole night in the woods next to the official road last night. For people who travel around the world, sleeping on the street is commonplace and normal.
"Lao San, Baiyue County is ahead of us, right?"
Feihu, who was riding a carriage, looked at the stone tablet not far ahead and asked loudly.
The door curtain of the carriage was opened, Huangfu Lou poked his head out, and then said:
"Yes, we have been on the road these days, and we are almost out of dry food. We can repair in Baiyue County and discuss the next plan."
The carriage was speeding along the official road, and the rotating wheels rolled over the dirt road, kicking up pieces of dust. The stone tablet in the distance came closer and closer to the sight. After a while, the three characters "Baiyue County" engraved on the tall stone tablet could be clearly seen.
The fourth child drove his carriage slowly past the stone monument. Although this place is on the outskirts of the main city of Baiyue County, the prosperity around it is no less than that of some small county towns.
Arriving in front of the city of Baiyue County, I saw people coming and going all around, rushing to enter the city. Huangfu Tower opened the door curtain, looked at the bustling crowd, and sighed:
"Alas, this Baiyue County is still so prosperous. If you think about it carefully, it has been about ten years since I last came here."
Hearing this, Feihu couldn't help but wonder:
"Third brother, have you ever been to Baiyue County? Why didn't I know?"
Throwing aside the folding fan, I saw Huangfu Lou looking like an elegant scholar:
"Of course I'm going to attend the Baiyue Party. In Baiyue County, a White Moon Party is held every year at Baiyue Tower. Literati from all over the world will rush there, just hoping to stand out in the Baiyue Party. By then, even though
It cannot be said that his good reputation has spread all over the country, but there is still hope for him to win an official position in the government."
"Actually, becoming an official is not a clear path, but it's a pity that I missed this opportunity."
Seeing the expression of appreciation on Huangfu's face, Feihu couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Hahaha, the third child, you are the only one? Don't others know, don't we brothers know that you are just a poor scholar. You failed every year even if you wanted to take the national examination. You have such ink in your belly, just cheat.
Those young ladies in the boudoir can still be of some use, but if you want to earn an official salary and become a master, they are still far behind."
The two of them had been cheating on each other for more than twenty years, and Huangfu didn't even notice when he arrived at the house. He saw him gently swinging his folding fan, looking like a child who couldn't be taught.
"Okay, everyone, cheer up. Baiyue County is the nearest big city to the ancient city. Many people with evil intentions have gathered here to secretly inquire about information. Now that the experts are gathered together, there must be no peace in the city. Let's
It’s better to be careful.”
Hu Wei's rough voice hurriedly came from the carriage, and both Feihu and Huangfulou stopped talking.
People lined up like a long queue at the entrance of Baiyue County City. The fourth child drove a carriage and stopped at the end of the long queue. Fortunately, it was very fast to enter the city. After paying the entrance fee of one penny per person, the four of them were considered
Entered Baiyue County.
The cries and shouts of the vendors could be heard endlessly. The carriage was driving slowly among the crowd. The fourth child reached out and knocked on the carriage, and then said loudly:
"Lao San, you have been to Baiyue County. Do you know if there is a place to stay nearby? Grandpa, I can save myself from wandering around."
Huangfulou opened the door curtain, then walked out of the carriage, sat next to Feihu, looked at the noisy scene around him, and couldn't help but sigh:
"This Baiyue County is more prosperous than it was ten years ago.
Well, if I remember correctly, the best inn in Baiyue County is none other than the Yunlin Inn. It is said that the food provided by this inn is outstanding, and all the diners who have tasted it are full of praise. I think back then
I don't have much money, so I can't enjoy it, so this time we will go here to rest."
As soon as Feihu heard that the food at Yunlin Inn was excellent, he immediately became interested:
"Okay, okay, today I'll satisfy Lao San's thoughts."
Under the guidance of Huangfu Lou, Lao Si drove around and finally stopped in front of a brilliantly decorated inn.
"Yunlin Inn, the appearance is extraordinary. Grandpa was not disappointed!"
Laosi and Huangfu Lou immediately got off the carriage, and Hu Wei and Bai Lian also walked out of the carriage one after another. Before they could enter the store, they saw Xiao'er who was already guarding the door and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them with a smile on his face:
"Four guests, do you want to stay in a hotel?"
Bai Lian nodded lightly, and then said softly:
"Yes, I want the four best rooms."
The waiter was so mesmerized by Bai Lian's charming posture and appearance that he couldn't take his eyes off him. Under Fei Hu's angry gaze, he regained his composure.
Seeing that the waiter's face was red and he was sweating profusely, he stuttered and said:
"Okay, okay, please come in, four guests. Someone will arrange the carriage properly in a moment."
The waiter led the four of them into the store. The Four Saints of Gushan were definitely experienced and well-informed. Seeing the luxurious decoration of Yunlin Inn, they couldn't help but secretly nod in praise. When they stepped into the store, Huangfu Tower faced the waiter.
Er commanded:
"It's best if the room is secluded and quiet. Money is not a problem."
When the waiter heard this, he quickly bowed his head and said yes. Seeing him taking the four people to the long cabinet on the first floor of the inn, he said to the waiter who was sorting out the account books:
"Four upper rooms, arrange a quiet place for these guests."
The waiter put down the account book in his hand, then opened the book that recorded the room, looked through it carefully, and then said:
"Sir, the third floor is where important guests are received in the store. The environment is guaranteed to be quiet and undisturbed, but in terms of the price..."
Looking at the waiter who was hesitant to speak, Huangfu Lou immediately waved his hand:
"Money is no problem."
When the waiter heard this, he knew that a wealthy businessman was here and there was no shortage of silver. He quickly bowed and said:
"I wonder how many days the four guests will stay?"
Hearing this, Hu Wei thought secretly for a while and responded with a rough voice:
"Let's stay here for two days."
Hu Wei's giant ax looked quite scary. Coupled with his ferocious appearance and burly figure, the waiter was afraid to look directly at Hu Wei. The waiter lowered his head and fiddled with the abacus and responded:
"Four upper rooms cost five taels of silver per night. A total of four rooms for two nights is forty taels of silver."
Feihu looked at the smiling shop waiter, immediately looked surprised and said loudly:
"Oh, you are a completely black shop. Why are you so expensive? Believe it or not, grandpa, I smashed your shop!"
When the waiter heard this, he couldn't help but said with a sad look on his face:
"Guest, I'm just a waiter. I don't care how much money I pay for this guest room. Besides, the price of our Yunlin Inn is obvious to all in Baiyue County. If you are not satisfied, you will be dissatisfied."
You can change to another inn.”
Huangfu Tower
He pulled Feihu's sleeves, inserted the folding fan into his waist, then took out his money bag from his lapel, took out two twenty-tael silver ingots, and placed them on the counter. He smiled slightly when he saw him.
, it seems a bit like a spring breeze:
"We want this guest room. This brother of mine has a bad temper, and he does speak a bit bluntly."
Feihu also scratched his head, waved his hand and laughed:
"It's okay. Grandpa, I have never stayed in such an expensive inn. Let's see what's so special about you compared to those who pay thirty cents a night."
The waiter was also rewarded for being able to successfully sell the guest rooms. He quickly put the two shining silver ingots on the counter into the drawer. The waiter's face was already smiling, and he took the four brass keys.
He handed it to the four of them kindly, and the waiter pointed to the stairs:
"Four guests, your guest room is on the third floor. There is a special summons on the third floor. If you need anything, you can just ask. Your room name is engraved on the back of the key."
Huangfu Tower turned the brass key to the back, and saw the four characters "Autumn" engraved on the back. This must be the name of the room.
"Lao San, Lao San, look at what's written on my key."
Feihu quietly approached Huangfulou and saw that he was holding the key in his hand, with a confused look on his face.
Taking the key from Feihu, Huangfulou pointed at the words engraved on the key and said loudly:
"Ahem, it says willow, leaf, bamboo, and forest. It's just the name of your house."
Huangfulou's voice was very loud, as if he was afraid that everyone would not know that Feihu was illiterate.
Feihu, who was killing people without batting an eyelid, turned red for no apparent reason at this moment. He quickly grabbed the key from Huangfu Tower and ran upstairs quickly.
Feihu blushed in embarrassment, and Bailian covered her charming red lips with her jade hands and chuckled:
"Third brother, please stop teasing the fourth child. He knows clearly that having no ink on his breasts is a problem for him, but yet he does this on purpose. It's really bad."
Bai Lian is worthy of being called the Enchantress. She exudes an irresistible charm with every move she makes. With the beauty in front of her, the eyes of the two waiters are dazed and their noses are bleeding uncontrollably.
"Okay, stop messing around. Let's go upstairs first. It's a bit noticeable here. Besides, the fourth child can't read, so I'm afraid he won't be able to find a room."
Hu Wei's tone was quite calm, and this remark was like a sudden blow, which made Huangfulou, who usually paid the most attention to his image, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After waving his folding fan, Huangfu Tower pointed at the building and immediately said with a smile:
"The boss is right. Let's go upstairs quickly and help a bunch of fourth boys."
The three of them walked up the building and all the way to the third floor. They walked slowly in the wooden corridor and looked at the silent environment around them. For ordinary people, there was absolutely no sound here, but the three of them were all
The hearing of a top second-rate warrior is a hundred times a thousand times better than that of an ordinary person. If you listen carefully, you can still hear thoughtful conversations and noises in your ears.
Huangfu Lou said with some surprise:
"This Yunlin Inn can be called the best inn in Baiyue County. It has some real skills. I don't know how they managed to make this place so quiet."
