"Please, Shopkeeper Niu, please lead the way!" Gu Chengyu looked after Gu Wanhua and the others, who were all a little tired, so they decided to go to the room to rest before having dinner.
"Mother, you come out to entertain the guests, and I will take the distinguished guests to the bedroom!" Shopkeeper Niu ordered towards the backyard.
"Hey! Here we come!" A clear female voice came from the backyard. It sounded like a cheerful woman.
"Shopkeeper Niu! Why are you willing to let your mother-in-law come out today? Aren't you hiding it well?" A man who was drinking raised his head and teased Shopkeeper Niu with a smile.
"Isn't it because we have a distinguished guest?" Another man answered.
"Oh! You are all regulars here! It's natural. I have to say hello to these guests who have just arrived! Don't make fun of me!" Shopkeeper Niu bowed his hands to the people eating.
,Apologizes!
Shopkeeper Niu took Gu Chengyu and the others outside the guest room on the third floor. As he opened the room, he said, "Masters, don't mind! They have no ill intentions, they are just rough people, and their words and deeds are a bit rough. They are not bad people."
"The rooms on the third floor are all upper rooms. There are five rooms in total. The rooms are not very big, but they are still enough for two people! It's just that they can only be accommodated and cannot accommodate two beds."
Gu Wanhua and the others all agree. Although the inn is a bit more expensive than the county inn, not to mention it is during the exam period, basically all inns will increase their prices. Gu Wanhua and Sun Xian stayed in one room, while Ye Zhiqiu and He Shunian had already
Put your luggage in one room.
The rest was Gu Chengyu's turn. Gu Chengyu wanted to live alone, but Ming Mo and Gu Wanqian disagreed because they had to serve tea and water at night.
In the end, they were both kicked away by Gu Chengyu. He was not a stingy person and booked the upper room for both of them. Ming Mo wanted to stay in the lower room, but Gu Chengyu stopped her because the upper room was close to him and he could come at any time.
"Shall the meals of the gentlemen be delivered to their rooms or placed in the lobby?" Shopkeeper Niu guessed that they would not eat in the lobby.
"Of course it was sent to the room. We just arrived at the inn and everyone was quite tired." Gu Wanhua replied quickly after hearing what Shopkeeper Niu said.
In fact, he didn't want to sit and eat with those men, because he would feel uncomfortable. Those people would say anything. He, a married man, would blush when he heard those dirty jokes, let alone those who were not married here.
How many!
Mingmo packed Gu Chengyu's luggage first, and then went downstairs to ask Shopkeeper Niu to prepare dinner and hot water for bathing.
Gu Chengyu took a look. The room was very simple, but not shabby. The bedding on the bed was also very clean and soft to the touch. It seemed that the inn was clean, but I didn't know if the lower and middle rooms were also the same.
.
"Sir! But you need to wash up first before eating?" Mingmo and the waiter carried the water into the room and directed the waiter to bring another bucket over.
He knew the master's habit. Even though he was traveling in a carriage, dust would still get into the carriage. The master loved to be clean, so he must wash it first.
"Well! The meal will be served later, and let him watch while he picks up two or three dishes! You can also go out to eat and wash up! I can do it myself!" Gu Chengyu planned to wash up and relieve his fatigue!
The next day, Gu Chengyu looked out the window at the quiet alley, preparing to go out for a walk to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment. The government examination would be held tomorrow, and he always needed to know the way to the examination room.
Just when Gu Chengyu was about to look away, he suddenly saw the door of a house in the alley open, and then a woman in gorgeous clothes came out. The woman was quite pretty, about twenty years old, but with such clothes and demeanor, it made her
She doesn't feel like a girl from a good family.
She looked around, saw no one, waved her hand, and asked another person to come out. Gu Chengyu took a closer look and saw that it was a man dressed as a scholar. This man also held a fan in his hand.
After checking to make sure no one was there, he quickly prepared to walk outside the hospital.
At this time the woman said, "Damn ghost! Come to me often!"
But the scholar didn't even look back and hurried away. The woman sighed and planned to go back to the house. At this time, the courtyard door of the house next door also opened, and a stout woman stepped on a vegetable basket and prepared to go out to the street.
Buy groceries.
When he saw the woman who had just entered the yard, he let out a sigh! "You little bitch, you hook up with men all day long and get into her arms. To earn such money, your ancestors would be so angry that they would crawl out of their graves!"
Gu Chengyu immediately understood that this was a brothel. In ancient times, there were not only brothels, but also many brothels. Such women could do such business in their own homes or rented yards, and were not under the control of the brothel!
No wonder no one is staying in the inn, firstly because of the tenants, and secondly because of the courtyards at the back? Gu Chengyu doesn't believe that this is the only one in the courtyard at the back.
No matter what those scholars think about these women, they must be despised and despised on the surface. How can a scholar who cherishes feathers live in such an inn? Even those who don’t know, after just coming in for two days, they will
Discover!
Gu Chengyu didn't mind much about this, and it had nothing to do with him anyway! He closed the window and was about to call He Shunian and the others to explore the examination room!
"Master! But you want to go out?" Ming Mo entered the room and asked the waiter to bring the food to the table.
"You don't have to follow me today to go around the streets and see what shops are selling. You can also go to Yahang and ask around. Pick a good location and the shop doesn't need to be big. Come back and tell me! I plan to open Yipinzhai to
Come to Fucheng!"
After Gu Chengyu finished eating, he ordered Mingmo.
"Yes!" Ming Mo nodded in agreement, feeling a little excited.
Manager Yu can't arrive in Fucheng for two days. The young master entrusts him with the matter. This is because he trusts him. If he wants to become the young master's right-hand man, he must handle this matter well!
Gu Chengyu took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to Ming Mo, "Don't be stingy with your money when you go out!"
At this time, Gu Wanqian walked out of the room and said, "Uncle!"
"My classmates and I are going to go shopping on the street. You and Mingmo go out and buy some clothes for yourself. Mingmo has the money!"
Gu Wanqian's clothes didn't fit, so he had to buy two sets. No one in the Gu family would give him clothes.
"Ming Mo has gone out, and there is no one around my uncle. I'd better follow him!" Gu Wanqian doesn't want to leave Gu Chengyu. Now he only feels that Gu Chengyu is forced to accept him. In fact, he doesn't want to keep him by his side. He wants to be on his own
Fight hard to avoid being left behind!
"I wasn't alone before? Go ahead!" Gu Chengyu turned around and went to find He Shunian and the others.
He knew what this clan nephew was thinking, but Gu Wanqian seemed to be well-behaved on weekdays, but in fact he was too preoccupied. He was afraid that Gu Chengyu would abandon him and wanted to stay with him, which made him a little irritable.
Gu Chengyu is a person with secrets, so of course he doesn't like people following him all the time!
"Chengyu! We were just going to find you. Let's go shopping together on the street! Let's take a look at the examination room. We are far away. I'm afraid we have to leave early tomorrow morning!" Oncoming was Ye Zhiqiu, followed by He Shu.
year them.
"I'm about to go find you too! Let's go together!" Gu Chengyu and the others went down to the first floor. At this time, there were not many people at the dining table on the first floor. It was expected that some people might have gone out to work early.
"You guys are going out? Have you locked the door?" Shopkeeper Niu was very kind and his reception was very attentive.
"Thank you, shopkeeper, for reminding me! Everything is locked! Let's go check out the examination room!" Gu Chengyu replied with a smile.
