Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Perhaps because it was indeed integrated with Gu Dashi's memory, Gu Yue immediately remembered that he seemed to have to burn paper at the graves of his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law during the Qingming Festival.

Is it too late? He quickly stuck out half of his head and asked Wu Feng: "When is Qingming?"

"There is still ten days left, but some people are preparing things now." Wu Feng looked at the street and saw that the people selling paper money and gold ingots had already set up their stalls. Most of them were middle-aged women who sat on small stools, squeezed the gold ingots, and then put them in soft sacks.

At this time, the ingots are still made of yellow paper, and there is no golden coating technology.

The convoy stopped in front of an inn. The secret guards dismounted, Wu Yan entered the lobby, and several waiters came over to help lead the horses and drive the carriage.

This must be the ancient doorman, who also helped to park the car. Gu Yue stepped on the footrest that the doorman, no, the waiter, had helped to move down to get out of the car, and then turned to pick up Gu Xu. Gu Xu was very polite and took his hand to get out, with such grace, like a princess.

"Let's find a safe yard." Wu Feng said, and quickly pointed out a few people to follow the car. The team lined up again and followed the waiter to the backyard.

"Shouldn't you send it now?" Gu Yue asked.

"It's getting dark, tomorrow." Wu Feng replied, and he also got on the carriage: "You go in and find Chief A Yan."

Gu Yue turned around and saw that this was a very luxurious inn.

The decoration of the entrance alone is very different, with a new bluestone floor that was repainted by the owner. The entrance is very wide, and you can see the reception desk at a glance. There are also tables and chairs for lunch on the first floor, and three or two people are sitting inside drinking tea. The inn building is four or five stories high, and there seems to be a long courtyard behind it.

Gu Yue's heart tensed up, but he calmed down again when he thought of the generous royalties in his hand.

It doesn't matter if he suffers, but Gu Xu must not suffer! How can a regent live in a shabby little inn?

Gu Yue didn't think of asking the secret guards to pay. It would be fine if Gu Xu was the master, but what if he wasn't? Let others look down on them!

So he took Gu Xu's hand and strode in.

Wu Yan was talking to the young boss at the front desk.

"Eight upper rooms...stay for two days." This is all Gu Yue heard.

He didn't immediately express his intention to pay, which seemed pretentious. Gu Yue turned to look at Gu Xu: "How is Xiao Xu staying?"

Gu Yue broke into a cold sweat. He didn't even count how many secret guards had come, and he didn't know whether Wu Yan had asked for rooms for them.

"I'm with Dad." Gu Xu said.

Wu Yan had to resist the urge to turn around and look at his master. It was scary enough that he had to sleep in the same carriage with Gu Yue all the way. Now he wanted a room? Was he still the picky master who had to live alone in the big kang room in Xiaoluo Village?

But his advantage is that he is calm and doesn't talk much, and he won't question Gu Xu's decision casually. He immediately said, "Add a room upstairs."

"Thank you." Gu Yue nodded. He carefully observed how Wu Yan communicated with the young boss.

It’s not scary to know nothing. What’s scary is pretending to know when you don’t. What’s scary is not paying attention when you don’t understand.

He soon found out that he had to pay a deposit first and then settle the rent when checking out, which was about two taels of silver for a two-day stay.

Gu Yue had a few big bucks in his pocket and was already numb to the prices of things, but he did not forget that one or two taels of silver was a considerable sum of money.

However, when he and Gu Xu got the key and went to the "upper room" on the third floor, they felt that the money was not wasted.

The elegant ancient Chinese-style room was filled with potted plants and incense. It was divided into two rooms, inside and outside. A bathtub was also separated in the limited space, and the screen was a semi-transparent cicada gauze. There was only a large carved wooden bed in the inner room. Because it was upstairs, there was no kang, but Gu Yue noticed that there were black marks on the wooden floor in a corner of the open space, which should be from the stove heating.

There was even a place outside for servants to sleep and keep watch at night.

"It's worth the money." Gu Yue touched the quilt that was as soft as silk, feeling very satisfied.

He had never slept in such a good place in his life.

Gu Xu didn't say anything, but he looked relaxed and comfortable.

It was already dark outside. Gu Yue leaned against the window and looked down, seeing the bustling cobblestone streets. Holding the window pole in his hand, he felt like Pan Jinlian.

Will this pole hit Ximen Qing if it falls?

Gu Yue was amused by himself. He closed the window and placed the rod safely on the windowsill.

What are you laughing at? Gu Xu sat on the bed and looked at him, feeling very puzzled.

"My two guests, would you like to have dinner in your room or in the lobby downstairs?" There was a knock on the door and the waiter asked respectfully outside.

It also includes food! Gu Yue was even happier: "What food is there?"

"The staple foods include mantou, Hu Bing and rice. The side dishes include roasted eggplant fish, sliced ​​meat, bamboo shoots and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. There are also various types of noodles." The waiter answered through the door.

Gu Yue looked at Gu Xu, asking him what he wanted to eat.

Gu Xu shook his head.

"When is the curfew?" Gu Yue asked.

"The curfew at midnight is the same everywhere in Northern Qin." said the waiter.

"Then there's no need to serve dinner. Let's go out and eat." Gu Yue said, "We'll be back later. Serve some snacks. I want peanuts, something sweet."

The meals he ordered are not simple, there must be snacks, right?

"Yes, sir." The waiter agreed and left.

Oh, the downside is that the sound insulation is not very good, and the footsteps in the corridor outside are quite obvious.

"Let's go! Let's take a walk. I've never been to such a prosperous place." Gu Yue was obviously very excited.

He took out the manuscript from a simple suitcase and said, "By the way, I'll hand this over to the bookstore. I wonder when they'll get off work?"

Off work? Gu Xu looked at him. It was a new word, he had never heard it before, but he could roughly understand its meaning.

When passing by Wu Yan's room, he knocked on the door and told him that he was going out to eat with Gu Xu.

Lest you get anxious if you can’t find anyone.

...inside the house.

Wu Yan looked at Wu Feng.

Wu Feng was really tired. He didn't want to move, so he ordered Wu Huo, who was gathering in a room, "Go, protect the master."

"Why should I go?" Wuhuo muttered, "Where's Ayun, Ayun——"

"Don't call him!" Wu Feng said, "He has to guard the carriage tonight and has no bed to sleep in."

"Okay." Wuhuo picked up the hair he had let down and put it up again while holding the hairpin in his mouth.

He listened close to the door and confirmed that Gu Yue had left before he opened the door and went out.

……

The streets become even more lively in the evening.

Most of the people who worked outside or farmed for the landlords had finished a day's work and were going home, so there were more people on the streets.

Besides, the days are getting longer and people are in high spirits because of the spring. The streets are lit up with dense lights, reflecting the overlapping eaves and tiles, which is particularly beautiful.

Gu Yue and Gu Xu were not hungry yet, so they did not rush to find a place to eat, but wandered to the largest market in the east of the city. Gu Yue still held Gu Xu's hand as usual - in fact, Gu Xu took the initiative to give it to him.

The two of them acted as if no one was around, completely unaware that Gu Xu's current age was not suitable for holding hands.
