Gu Rao, "..."

Although it was very convenient to not have to do anything by themselves, since the inn they were staying in had been informed to the officials, they could not change the inn at will and could only stay in the inn opened by Wenmo's father-in-law.

Why do you feel like you are falling into one trap after another, being led by the nose by this lawyer you just met?

Could it be that he saw that they were from the countryside, had little knowledge, and were unfamiliar with the place, so he felt that they were taken advantage of and wanted to cheat them?

Is this his principle of only helping victims?

I thought he was kind-hearted.

Now that I think about it, is there a possibility that it is because people who harm others are generally difficult to deal with. On the contrary, people who have been harmed are more likely to harm them again.

So, he wants to harm them once too?

Don't blame Gu Rao for thinking such bad things about people, it's really Wen Mo who makes people feel too profiteer.

When you are away from home, you are right to have more than one mind.

Although she has fallen into a trap now and no amount of care is needed, it does not prevent her from thinking about it clearly and considering changing to a different lawyer.

Wen Mo seemed to see Gu Rao's concerns and took him directly to Tianlai Inn without any excuse.

The shopkeeper of Tianlai Inn is a middle-aged man. After seeing Wen Mo and the three people behind him, he knew that Wen Mo was bringing guests to Tianlai Inn again.

A relieved smile appeared on his face.

Wen Mo bowed to the shopkeeper and asked, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law brought a few guests. I wonder if there are any vacancies in the inn today."

Lu Xin nodded.

"Have."

Looking at Gu Rao and others, he asked with a smile, "There is only one Heavenly Room, and there are many Earthly Rooms, Renhao Rooms and Tongbu Rooms. Which rooms will the guest officials live in?"

Gu Rao asked, "How much do these rooms cost per day?"

Lu Xin introduced, "The price for a room with a day number is from one tael to five taels of silver a day, a room with a ground number is from 500 to 800 yuan a day, a room with a human number is 200 to 300 yuan a day, and a general store is much cheaper. , it only costs 40 cents to live in for a day. There are even cheaper ones, the woodshed only costs 30 cents a day, and the horse stable only costs 20 cents to live in for a day."

Chen Zhong was stunned when he heard this.

The farthest place he has ever been to in his life is the county seat. Naturally, he has stayed in several inns, but he only stayed in bunkhouses and woodsheds, and he was never embarrassed to ask about the prices of other rooms.

This was the first time he realized the gulf between the rich and the poor.

Almost out of the blue.

"I only have five taels of silver to stay for one day. Is anyone really willing to spend that much money?"

Lu Xin said with a smile, "When the county government holds the children's examination every year, students from all over the country gather in the county. The supply of Tianhao rooms exceeds the demand. This year's children's examination has passed, and the business in the inn has slowed down a bit."

Although it has faded, there is only one Tianhao room left today.

Chen Zhongzhong could not calm down for a long time.

He had always known that there were many rich people, but this was the first time he felt directly how much the rich spent money. He could not have imagined that there would be so many people fighting for a room worth five taels of silver.

Wen Mo said, "The prices for staying in inns in the county are almost the same. If you don't believe it, you can ask elsewhere tomorrow."

In fact, after Gu Rao learned the price and knew that they clearly marked the price and that the price was not outrageous, he felt relieved and knew that he had not been cheated.

It was she who had just judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Just stay here."

"Boss, please give us two private rooms."

Chen Zhong waved his hand quickly.

"Boss Gu, you and your wife can live in a shared room, and I can live in a bunkhouse. I just have a place to sleep. Why waste that money?"

He came to the county to help, not to hold them back! I haven't helped you yet, so why are you so embarrassed to spend the boss's money?

Gu Rao insisted, "We need two shared rooms."

After the room was settled, Chen Zhong felt guilty. He asked for two hundred yuan a night. Looking at the situation, he had to live in the county for several days.

Just staying in an inn would cost him a tael of silver!

terrible!

The more I think about it, the more I feel it’s not worth it!

Gu Rao actually thinks it's expensive, but when you go out, you have to spend money. If you don't live well and sleep well, you will definitely not be in good spirits.

It's better to spend more money to make your stay more comfortable.

She is willing to sleep with strangers.

Room No. 1 was her last insistence.

The waiter took them to the ground floor room. After pushing the door open, Gu Rao looked at the layout. The room was not very big, but it was clean and tidy.

In addition to a wooden bed, there is also a washstand, bathtub, screen, table and chairs, etc.

What satisfied her most was that this room also had a window. When you opened the window, you could see the scenery above the street. Of course, corresponding to this was the poor sound insulation, the noise on the street, and Sounds coming from the next room were audible.

She didn't dare to expect too much from a room that cost two hundred cents a day.

The waiter said, "The inn has free hot water. Do you two guests want hot water to take a bath?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"want."

"sorry to bother you."

The waiter smiled and said, "These are all things that should be done. I will go and heat hot water for you."

When the waiter brought the hot water, Gu Rao asked again, "What delicious food is there in the inn? How much does it cost? Is there a menu?"

The waiter scratched his head and asked inexplicably, "What is the menu that the guest said?"

Gu Rao didn't explain to him.

"Tell me what to eat."

The waiter skillfully announced a long list of dish names and told Gu Rao the prices of these dishes in detail.

Gu Rao asked, "Do you charge money for rice?"

The waiter shook his head.

“After ordering, rice is complimentary.”

Gu Rao felt relieved.

"Then come and bring us a dish of vegetable soup and a dish of shredded potatoes, and give a dish of shredded potatoes to the guest who came with us."

The waiter threw the handkerchief over his shoulder.

"Okay!"

"Please wait a moment, sir, the food will be here soon!"

-

The food in the inn is not very good. A large bowl of vegetable soup costs 8 cents, a plate of vegetarian shredded potatoes costs 15 cents, and a plate of shredded potatoes with meat costs 25 cents.

Gu Rao ordered a vegetable soup and two plates of shredded potatoes, which cost a total of thirty-eight cash. She was a little hungry, but the food was tasteless.

Fortunately, Bieye had a garbage can stomach and could eat anything. He was not picky about food, so he ate five large bowls of rice with a bowl of soup and a plate of vegetarian dishes, and ate back all the portions that Gu Rao had not eaten.

Gu Rao felt a little regretful.

"It's my first time traveling far away. I have no experience. I should have made some dry food at home and brought it with me. The dry food I make is better than the food outside."

Bieye deeply agrees.

"The food you cook is delicious."

Gu Rao cheered up and said, "The money for staying in the inn has been spent. We don't know when the Yamen will hear our case. We can't waste the money for staying in the inn. Let's go out and have a good time tomorrow. It's our first time in Donghuang County. Just think of it as going out to have some fun.”

Beyeye nodded.

"Go to bed early tonight."

The couple took a shower and went to bed. Just as they were about to fall asleep, an indescribable sound suddenly came from next door.
