Chapter 995: Good Luck from the Previous Life
Except for Hang Baiqiu, Chai Yan and others quickly arrived at Gaopeng Inn.
As soon as the carriage arrived outside the inn, before it even stopped, the innkeeper of Gaopeng Inn led a group of waiters to come out to greet him.
Because there was a lot of movement, people from the opposite door were attracted, and Chai Yan suddenly became the center of attention.
However, everyone had good intentions, and Chai Yan couldn't blame him, so he could only quickly enter the inn and avoid everyone's sight.
Chai Yan's room had been cleaned at this time. Not only did it look brand new, but incense was also lit, and the style suddenly became elegant.
Chai Yan briefly explained to Cheng Jiu and others, then entered the room and planned to take a short rest.
But not long after he lay down, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Who is it?" Chai Yan was a little impatient, but still asked.
"Master Chai, Mr. Meng Li wants to see you..." The person who spoke was the innkeeper, and his tone was cautious.
Meng Ruhu?
Chai Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Let him come up."
"Yes, sir!" The shopkeeper agreed immediately, and then the footsteps gradually faded away.
Chai Yan got up and walked to the door to open the latch, then returned to the table and sat down, pouring water to drink while waiting for Meng Ruhu to come up.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Then, there was a respectful voice: "Young man Meng Ruhu, please see Mr. Chai!"
Chai Yan waited for a moment before responding: "Come in!"
Meng Ruhu then carefully pushed open the door to the room, crossed the threshold and entered the house.
"I have met Mr. Chai." Meng Ruhu bowed his hands deeply, his posture was very humble.
Chai Yan said calmly: "Close the door and come and sit."
"yes!"
Meng Ruhu responded, turned around and closed the door, then lowered his head and walked very lightly to the table, but did not dare to sit down.
Chai Yan didn't care why he didn't sit down, but smiled and said: "Meng Lichang, you are very well informed. As soon as I came back, you came after me, haha..."
Meng Ruhu cupped his hands and said, "To tell you what to do, Sir, I was nearby just now. I happened to hear that Mr. Chai was back, so I came over to say hello."
Chai Yan didn't take Meng Ruhu's words seriously. After hearing this, he just smiled and passed away.
After the two chatted almost insignificant words, Meng Ruhu said: "Master Chai, although this inn is good, it is still noisy and noisy. I am afraid it will affect the adults' rest... Why don't you change it to the villain's place for the adults?"
Let’s live in the house we have prepared. That yard is very quiet and elegant, and no outsiders will disturb you at all. That is in line with your noble status!”
Chai Yan said: "Meng Lichang, this is not appropriate..."
Meng Ruhu immediately said: "Master Chai, I remember, there is a female family member beside you, if..."
"Stop!" Chai Yan immediately stopped and corrected: "She is a female official, not a female family member. If you say such nonsense, I will become angry!"
"Yes, yes, she is a female officer. Please forgive me for being stupid." Meng Ruhu apologized quickly.
Then, Meng Ruhu continued: "The villain thought that the status of that female official must be extraordinary. Living in an inn where such men gather would cause many inconveniences in life! But that house is different. Inside
There is a separate courtyard for women to use, so daily chores such as daily life will not be inconvenient."
Chai Yan nodded and said: "Well, you are careful enough to think of this..."
Meng Ruhu said that daily life is indeed a problem. The most inconvenient thing for Hang Baiqiu when living in an inn is taking a bath, and she is a person who loves cleanliness. It would definitely be much more comfortable if she had an independent courtyard.
However, Chai Yan did not agree immediately, but said: "I have to see the house you mentioned with my own eyes. If possible, I will discuss with everyone whether to move or not. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, whenever you are free, I can always accompany you." Meng Ruhu was very happy.
Chai Yan nodded, changed the subject and asked: "By the way, Meng Li, there is something I want to ask you..."
"My lord, feel free to ask!" Meng Ruhu's smile disappeared instantly and replaced with a serious expression.
"I heard that the Rouxiang Courtyard in town is actually the property of Meng Lichang, is it true?" Chai Yan asked, staring at Meng Ruhu's face.
"Sir, the villains only account for less than 70% of the members of Rouxiangyuan. Mei Niang is the one who takes care of the business on weekdays, and the villains only get bonuses at the end of the year." Meng Ruhu explained.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Since Meng Li is the leader of Rouxiangyuan, this matter will be easy to handle."
"Sir, what you said..." Meng Ruhu raised his head slightly and looked at Chai Yan not quite understanding.
"Oh, it's like this. I want to redeem a girl's life. Since you are the big owner of Rouxiangyuan, it should be useful to negotiate the price with you, right?" Chai Yan said with a smile.
Meng Ruhu thought that Chai Yan had taken a fancy to some girl, and immediately replied: "How dare you bargain with the adults? As long as there are ten girls that the adults like, let alone one, you can take them away."
That’s it!”
"Tenth place?" Chai Yan said with a smile: "Meng Lichang, you are not so kind and want me to bury my bones in Wenrou Township! Haha..."
"Sir, you are joking." Meng Ruhu quickly apologized and laughed.
Afterwards, Meng Ruhu asked: "Sir, which girl do you like? You just need to nod, and the villain will immediately send you the person and the deed of sale."
Chai Yan said seriously: "Die Wu!"
"Oh! It turns out to be Miss Diewu... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, Miss Diewu is so lucky. She has been blessed in her previous life!" Meng Ruhu's tone was like that of a kind old man.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Ruhu said that he would arrange for someone to handle the matter, but was stopped by Chai Yan.
Chai Yan said calmly: "Meng Lichang, Miss Diewu is the red card of your Rouxiang Academy, she must be worth a lot of money... In this way, if you set a price, I can't let you lose money.
ah!"
"No, no, no, sir, you absolutely can't do it!" Meng Ruhu was so frightened that he quickly shook his head and waved his hands, and then said: "The dog and the little girl are so disrespectful to the adults. How dare you ask for your money again? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, sir."
No way!"
Next, Chai Yan kept asking for money, but Meng Ruhu refused to ask for money no matter what. The two were at a stalemate for a long time.
After talking for a long time, Chai Yan lost his patience and said: "Okay, okay, stop talking! I won't give you any more money. Is this okay with the head office?"
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Meng Ruhu quickly saluted and thanked him, his face was filled with excitement, as if he had received so much glory.
Later, Meng Ruhu said that he would arrange for someone to do this, but Chai Yan stopped him again.
"Chang Meng, before I take Miss Diewu away, I have to see Miss Diewu first. I have to ask her some questions personally. If the answer is what I want, I will take her away..."
..Otherwise, this matter will be dropped immediately!" Chai Yan said seriously.
Meng Ruhu nodded without hesitation: "Of course, of course. As long as you are willing, you can go to Rouxiang Courtyard at any time."
After saying this, Meng Ruhu began to murmur in his heart: These officials don't know what they are thinking. They just took away the girl they gave for free. Why are they bothering to ask around?
