(It’s the 18th, I’d like to ask, do you have any extra ferry tickets?)
Yuelai Inn is located inside the West City Gate, and is connected to the city gate by three streets.
After the disasters that had occurred in the previous dozens of days, Yangzhou City was like a man in his prime who was suddenly struck down by a serious illness. Although there were famous doctors and skilled hands, the illness came like a mountain and fell like a mountain, and the illness went away like a thread. If you want to recover,
Angry, I'm afraid it will take months or even years to heal.
The opening of the inn was also in response to the call of the food envoy Mr. Su and the government official Mr. Song. Originally, the innkeeper did not plan to attract business, but after the envoys transported the grain into the city, the inn also followed the changing times, and the envoys came in.
On the same day in the city, someone booked the inn with just one word, and the price was quite high, which made the shopkeeper happy.
The guest's request is quite simple. No other people are allowed to stay upstairs or downstairs. Only a few waiters are left to take care of the animals, boil water and run errands. There is no need to intervene in other affairs. Another special consideration is that the guests are not allowed to stay.
If you are full of signs, don’t talk too much and don’t inquire; as long as you can do these, the rent will be doubled.
How can the shopkeeper be disobedient? The city of Yangzhou is devastated and his business is the first to take off. This is something he can only hope for. And looking at the few veiled female relatives who have moved in, they are by no means strongmen robbing families and homes, but more like officials.
The family members' hearts dropped even more to their stomachs.
Su Jin, dressed in green clothes and a small hat, looked as ordinary as a peddler and a footman on the street. He got in through the ajar door of the inn. The shopkeeper, who was dozing on the counter with his chin on his head, was awakened by the sound of footsteps. When he saw the guests coming, he got up hurriedly.
He said: "Sir, do you want to stay in a hotel? I'm sorry, the hotel is full and there is a sign at the door."
Su Jin said: "I'm here to receive guests, and I'm looking for you, the resident guest."
The shopkeeper looked Su Jin up and down, frowned and said, "Don't mind, the guests staying here have given orders not to let outsiders disturb you."
Su Jin smiled and said, "I know. I want you to go inside and let me know. Then someone named Su is here to find you."
The shopkeeper looked at Su Jin's shabby look and thought to himself: What a big tone, you can tell someone your surname and someone will see you? He prevaricated: "The guest didn't give me any instructions, and you didn't make an appointment with them, so I don't dare to bother you."
Su Jin ignored him and walked inside; the shopkeeper quickly stopped him and scolded him: "What's going on with you, why are you wandering around? Do you still think it was like the chaos in the city a few days ago?"
Let me tell you, the imperial court sent Su Qingtian down here to punish you bad guys. If you don't get out, I will report you to the officials and arrest you."
Su Jin laughed and said, "Su Qingtian? He is an acquaintance of mine. I won't be afraid if you call him."
The shopkeeper said anxiously: "What are you doing, such a scoundrel? Looking at the way you are dressed, you don't think you are a person who can recognize Guan'er. You are quite handsome. Why don't you learn from others? You keep telling lies. Xiao Huang and Xiao Sun pulled him and blasted him."
go out."
Two boys who were sitting in the corner warming up over the fire immediately came over with eager eyes.
Su Jin was very happy and said with a smile: "It seems that Su Qingtian has given you a lot of courage when he arrived in Yangzhou. Do you know him?"
"You're kidding, why don't you know me? Don't be scared, the eldest brother of Su Qingtian's second aunt's niece is my brother, and we have met Su Qingtian before."
Su Jin frowned and recalled that he had never seen this person before. He said proudly, "If you're afraid, leave quickly. We won't embarrass you, but if you want to do something in Yangzhou, I advise you to die as soon as possible."
Heart, once Su Qingtian comes, it will be sunny in our city of Yangzhou, and we should not think about dirty deeds."
Su Jin laughed and felt a little proud. It turned out that his image in the hearts of the people in Yangzhou was really good. It could be heard that the shopkeeper's respect for him was sincere and he didn't want to get too entangled with him.
After a while, he said with a smile: "Thank you, shopkeeper, for your kind words about me. I am Su Jin, and I am indeed here to receive guests."
"Ha ha……"
"hey-hey……"
"We laughed to death. Look at your sly eyebrows and how dare you pretend to be Su Qingtian...hehehe."
The shopkeeper and his two waiters laughed so hard that they pointed at Su Jin's nose and looked at it again and again, as if Su Jin had three pig noses on his face.
"Fuck..." Su Jin rolled his eyes and argued, "I'm really Su Jin!"
"Don't be ridiculous, are you interesting?" The shopkeeper leaned on the table and laughed with fat waves rolling all over his body: "Brother, are you here to tease us to relieve our boredom? How do you know that we are bored?"
"Shopkeeper, I'm afraid they are people who have been wandering on the streets recently. It is said that there have been a few people coming to Nancheng recently who will come to your door to tell jokes and perform comedy. They are just asking for some food. I think most of them do this." A young waiter said slightly.
The way to get involved.
The shopkeeper nodded and said: "It's possible." He reached into his pocket and took out a penny and stuffed it into Su Jin's hand and said: "Here, your joke is really funny. We were really amused by you, but like this
Don't tell jokes often. If the government finds out about it, they will use you as a bluff and deceiver."
Su Jinyu cried without tears and said anxiously: "I'm really Su Jin."
"Hey...you bastard, you still talk dirty, get out, get out!" The shopkeeper turned his face.
Su Jin ignored them and walked in. The shopkeeper and the two boys quickly held hands and dragged him out.
Su Jin shouted at the top of his lungs: "Xian'er...! Rou Niang...! Zhang Long, you bastard, come out quickly. Several of the shopkeeper's heads were kicked by donkeys. Come out quickly and take me in."
"Bah, I think you are just crazy. It's so unlucky that I met a man who had a daydream in broad daylight and pretended to be the imperial envoy Su Qingtian. This time I have to send you to the government to be punished."
The four of them wrestled for a while. They were all dressed thickly in the winter, and they were so round that it was difficult to exert force. They were all exhausted and sweating. When they were at their wits' end, the curtain at the back door of the lobby opened, and Xiao Xian'er revealed half of her pretty face.
A curious peek.
Su Jin caught a glimpse and shouted as if grasping at straws: "Xian'er...Xian'er! Come and save me, these three guys are crazy."
The shopkeeper Wu Zi pulled Su Jin's collar and said breathlessly: "You are crazy. You disturbed the guests. See if I don't give you a good look."
Xiao Xian'er hurried over, looked at the four people hugging each other, and said in surprise: "Master, what kind of novelty do you have? Are four people squeezing oil residue to keep warm?"
Su Jin gasped and said: "Gu nainai! Do you think this is playing?"
The shopkeeper was immediately dumbfounded when he heard the words "Master". He stopped and pointed at Su Jin and asked Xiao Xian'er, "Girl, do you really know each other?"
Xiao Xian'er said: "Of course I know him. He is my son. Don't you know him? He is a great benefactor to the people of Yangzhou. He is the Su Qingtian in your mouth."
"Oh, my mother!" The shopkeeper's legs softened and he fell to his knees. It turned out that he was really the real owner, and this was very bad.
The two young men who were too deeply involved in the drama were still dragging Su Jin back. Su Jin was holding the pillar and was being pulled around, and his legs were slipping around.
The shopkeeper leaned forward and slapped each one: "Stop pulling, it's really Su Qingtian, this time we have violated a big taboo."
Su Jin finally calmed down from the turbulent waves. His forehead was covered with sweat. This was fucking harder than stealing a cow. Looking at the three people kneeling in front of him like the tips of candles, he gasped: "That's it. I'll see clearly later."
"Come on, don't come back next time if I come and you do this again, you'll have to endure it, my little body can't bear it."
The shopkeeper kowtowed like a fool and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Su Qingtian is a talented person, with bright eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a majestic appearance. I will never forget it. Next time we meet, he will pick my pair."
Zhao Zi can also know that Su Qingtian has arrived."
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Now I'm handsome again. Didn't you just say that I have a sly eyebrow?"
"You deserve to die, you little people. It's the little people who are sly and sly." The shopkeeper hurriedly twitched his mouth and kowtowed.
Su Jin said: "Close the door of the inn and don't tell anyone that I am here. If anyone finds out, be careful and I will really take you."
The three of them did not dare to say a word, but just kowtowed. Su Jin rubbed his sore shoulders, pulled Xiao Xian'er, and went straight to the back hall of the inn.dd
