This is an important border area, and we must guard against other countries and alien beasts from attacking the city. The city is more than three feet high, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the dark gray city wall, making it look majestic and magnificent.
It was almost time for the night curfew, and the heavy city gate might not last more than a quarter of an hour before it would be closed. Several people in Qinghe Town were a little uneasy, for fear of being made trouble, but Song Yu took his time and handed over one with a smile on his face.
With heavy purses, I invite you soldiers to have a drink.
With the money to clear the way, the customs clearance was very smooth. The guard only made a symbolic inspection and then let him go smoothly.
After entering the city gate, the road became much easier. Facing the unfamiliar city, Xu Zhou was a little confused. He turned around and raised the curtain of the car: "Sir, where are we going now?"
"Let's find a place to stay first." Song Yu yawned, looking exhausted. He set off early in the morning, and the conditions of the carriage were far inferior to those of high-speed rail soft seats. After a bumpy journey, Song Yu was shaken by the wooden box again.
Unable to rest.
If there is such a big thing, you have to find a place to stay and rest beforehand. If it weren't for the time crunch, Song Yu would even want to rent a small courtyard.
"Okay, I'll find an inn right now." Xu Zhou responded and prepared to lower the car curtain.
Song Yu hurriedly warned again: "Look for the best one." He was afraid that the new person he recruited was too loyal and honest, and would stop wherever he saw the advantage.
"Don't worry, sir!" Yun Lang's voice came from the front. It was the first time for this kid to go out so far away. The excitement was not over after walking all the way. He was always shy and talked a lot. Soon
Then I found out about the largest inn in Yongxi Prefecture - Guixiang Tower.
Guixiang Tower is not in the center of the city, and the road becomes quieter and quieter as we walk. Song Yu originally wondered whether he had gone the wrong way, or maybe Xu Zhou asked for help. As soon as he came out of a small road, his eyes suddenly opened up. On the spacious road, a horseman
Looky-looking people with rags hanging on them lead horses for guests, and wine markets and tea houses and stalls on both sides of the road are full of energy soliciting business.
The carriage slowed down a little, and Song Yu heard a waiter coming up to greet him outside: "Sir, are you going to stay in the hotel?"
Song Yu opened the curtain and got out of the car: "Stay in the hotel, give me one...two upper rooms and two medium-sized rooms."
There was also the temporary addition of Ren Wan. After all, she was Xie Nanshi's little green plum. It felt strange that she was treated the same as the servants.
Anyway, Song Yu doesn’t care about things like silver!
Du Anchen also came out of the car: "Three upper rooms."
The waiter hesitated for a moment, not knowing who was the one who really meant what he said.
What can Song Yu do? Faced with the only combat power he can currently rely on, of course he chooses to compromise: "Just do as she says."
"Yes. Guests, please come in!" the waiter said with a bright smile. As soon as everyone got out of the car, a groom took over the reins and started an ancient version of valet parking service.
Only then did Song Yu really take a good look at Guixiang Tower.
The reason why Guixiang Tower is located in a remote city is that it occupies a huge area. Although it is an inn, the restaurant and the surrounding catering industry have already formed a certain scale of industry. It is more like a modern hotel than an inn.
Hotel entertainment comprehensive service center.
As the core of Guixiang Tower, the main building is a rare tall enclosed building in this era, about five or six stories high. The carved railings and painted columns are even a bit exaggerated in the eyes of Song Yu. It has just fallen at night, and Guixiang Tower
The Xiang Tower was already brightly lit, as bright as day, and there were a lot of candles lit at first glance. But I had to admit that the visual effect was quite good, and it made Song Yu, who was born in modern times, feel more friendly.
Xu Zhou and the others were inevitably timid, but Yun Lang was the boldest, looking around curiously. The interior of Guixiang Tower was less luxurious than the outside, but it was still extremely lively.
"The first floor is the restaurant, the second floor is the private rooms, and the third floor is the guest rooms." The waiter enthusiastically guided the few people, "There is a private kitchen in the backyard, and you can order a small stove. If the guests are not used to it.
You can also use the kitchen if you have things outside. This is the right to use the room, and there is no extra charge."
Such a restaurant naturally gets quieter as you go up. Fortunately, Song Yu didn't have to climb all six floors to get to the hotel. When he reached the fifth floor and entered the room, Song Yu couldn't wait to get down: "Don't worry about my dinner. Send it to me."
All it takes is a bucket of hot water."
For a restaurant of this caliber, I know that the food is definitely a small medicine.
"Okay." The waiter responded and stepped back.
The room upstairs in Guixiang costs ten silver a day, which is enough to support a family in Qinghe Town for half a year. Of course, it is expensive for a reason. The comfort of the high bed and soft couch is comparable to modern Simmons. Song Yu even felt a little dazed when he leaned on it.
——Not to mention the difficult years in the game, in reality he has not slept in bed for a long time!
However, the nutrient solution is quite durable. Song Yu is lucky to be alive until now... He should still be considered alive, right?
The waiter quickly brought a bathtub and poured hot water into it. There were actually flower petals in the bucket, which made Song Yu, a big man, feel a little embarrassed.
So the waiter began to explain thoughtfully: "This is our store's special medicinal soup, which has a miraculous effect on eliminating fatigue. Please use it with caution. If you have any questions, you can call us at any time."
What does it mean to feel at home! After washing himself until he was hot and soft, Song Yu fell asleep and seamlessly fell into a deep and comfortable sleep.
Late at night, Yuan Fang, who was nodding her little head, quietly opened her big eyes, listened to the slight snoring coming from the bed, fluttered her little wings, pushed open the window with her head and flew out.
Yuan Fang originally loved to flutter, but when it flew into the night sky, its green feathers seemed to turn into pitch black, and the whole bird quietly melted into the darkness. Then it plunged into a residential house in Yongxi Prefecture.
among.
…
During this sleep, Song Yu slept until almost noon the next day. When the knock on the door rang urgently but restrainedly, Song Yu refused to get up. He loudly shouted "extend the room for three days" to dismiss the waiter, and then continued
He covered his head with the quilt.
Why rent a small courtyard? Although the small courtyard is not as expensive as Guixiang Tower, it is not as fragrant as Guixiang Tower!
"Idiot! Get up! Idiot! Get up!" Yuan Fang, who was standing on the table, swooped down and the whole bird hit Song Yu's head, shaking Song Yu.
It wasn't over yet. Although Yuan Fang was not big in size, he was not weak at all. He held the quilt in his mouth and pulled it open.
Song Yu sighed, he was so stupid, he should have released the parrot earlier, why bother keeping it with him all the time.
He was awake now, and the knock on the door was still ringing tentatively. Song Yu could only raise his voice and shout "Wait a moment", then got up and started changing clothes and briefly washing up.
After a while, Song Yu opened the door and found several unfamiliar faces standing outside. The leader was about forty years old, but he smiled flatteringly at him: "Your Excellency, you must be Lord Song of Song Yu. I am the official."
yes……"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that his title was not appropriate, so he changed his words and said, "My official name is Zhou Qinian, the head of the Peace Department of Yongxi Prefecture."
"Master Zhou." Song Yu hurriedly greeted him, thinking for a long time that this was his immediate superior!
Fortunately, he had a good uncle, otherwise Song Yu would have slept for three to three hours in this feudal world before he slowly and leisurely opened the door. Wouldn't he be wearing small shoes?
Song Yu saluted, and Zhou Qinian responded with an even bigger one: "You're welcome, Mr. Song. I have received the letter you sent, and I am aware of all your achievements in Qinghe Town."
He deliberately added a small character before the title Master Song to make the title between the two more intimate, and then asked tentatively: "I wonder what kind of reward Mr. Song would like?"
"Can you still choose this by yourself?!" Song Yu hadn't completely woken up yet, and he was a little confused after hearing this.
"Of course." Zhou Qinian continued to laugh: "As long as Master Xiao Song is satisfied, you can give me a few nice words..."
Hearing this, Song Yu understood that the reason why the other party was so polite was because of his distant uncle. He pushed the door open completely and then took two steps back: "Sir, how about we invite you inside first?
"
"Excuse me." Zhou Qinian, with a kind smile on his face, stepped into the door first, and the people behind him also followed in. "These are also managers of our Yongxi Prefecture Security Department. If
Mr. Xiao Song wants to come to Yongxi Prefecture to work together in the future..."
"I think." Song Yu directly intercepted Zhou Qinian's words and handed him a cup of tea with a smile. "I hope to use this achievement in exchange for the opportunity to work together in Yongxi Prefecture. Please grant it, Mr. Zhou!"
In fact, if the strange ghost story in Qinghe Town is true, Song Yuben, who was just a normal person when he first took office, is likely to be promoted. It is normal for him to be promoted to another level by relying on Chen Guogong. It is for this reason that Zhou Qinian said this smoothly.
.However, Song Yu did not have the usual twists and turns of people in the officialdom, so it was a bit surprising to him to get this position.
But Zhou Qinian was able to serve as the Peace Department of a prefecture and his brain was very fast. He immediately took the tea with both hands and said: "It is a blessing for us in Yongxi Prefecture that Lord Xiao Song is willing to come to the Peace Department of Yongxi Prefecture."
"Easy to say." After Song Yu responded, the room became completely quiet.
Zhou Qinian had just stuck his butt on the stool, but he couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and took the initiative to find a topic: "When is it convenient for Mr. Xiao Song to come to work? Of course, you don't have to worry, you can come whenever you want."
Feeling that the other party had finished speaking, Song Yu was silent for a moment: "I'm going to find a house to live in first, and I'll go there after everything is sorted out."
Guixiang House is indeed expensive and fragrant, but if you want to work locally, it is better to have a house, which will make it easier to integrate into the local workplace.
"Nephew Song, are you looking for a suitable residence?" Realizing that Song Yu did not have the arrogance of ordinary children from aristocratic families, but was easy to talk to, the title changed again and again, and he became closer and closer.
Song Yu felt a little funny, but he still responded: "Yes, I want to buy a house to stay."
He didn't want to continue living in the Ping An Department, not to mention that this was the Ping An Department of the state capital, and it was not like a small place like Qinghe Town. There were only a few of them in the whole department, so they could live wherever they wanted.
Zhou Qinian immediately understood: "If my nephew needs a place to stay, it would be better than me..."
Song Yu knew that the NPC wanted to settle him directly in his family, so he refused to do it: "Then thank you Mr. Zhou for helping to recommend the hospital. I am a newbie here, and having someone like Mr. Zhou who is familiar with the situation in the state capital to help me, it is really unnecessary.
A lot of trouble."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Zhou Qinian responded with a smile and winked at a young man standing behind him.
The man was also very wise, and he immediately raised his hand and said, "I'll take Mr. Song to pick out a yard later."
"We are of the same age, so there is no need to be so polite." Song Yu said and couldn't help but swallow a yawn. He said to himself, everyone should stop being polite and finish things early so that he can go to sleep.
Only then did Zhou Qinian realize that he was early. No wonder the other party ignored him and immediately stood up and said: "Sorry for bothering my nephew, I will take my leave now. I will hold a banquet for my nephew at Zuixian Tower tonight."
Take the wind and wash away the dust, please be kind to my nephew."
"No problem." He understood the banquet culture. The first thing he did after going to Qinghe Town was to attend the reception banquet.
"Goodbye nephew, no need to send me off." Zhou Qinian had already walked to the door. When he turned around, he realized that Song Yu had not moved at all, and he was speechless for a moment. This young man has a side that understands the rules and a side that does not understand them.
Zhou Qinian couldn't figure out the other party's way for a while, so he had to considerately close the door for him.
