Jiangxia is a county that spans a large area and has three counties under its jurisdiction.The first task of coming to Jiangxia County is still to find an inn. At first, Zhu Jiang was also worried that the situation in Qingcheng County would happen again, but after all, Jiangxia County is not as shameless as Qingcheng County.

The few people found an inn that seemed to be okay without any trouble, paid the money, and then took a rest.

However, it is still a wing room, and Zhu Jiang is still sleeping in the outer room, and Qianqiu and Yun Shen are sleeping on the same bed. They have already used up more than half of their money, and seeing that there is less than half of it left The entanglement is about to disappear, so we have to save some money.

Of course, the asking price of the inn was also a surprise to Zhu Jiang.

The asking price for one night's sleep in a wing room turned out to be half a penny!

Ah!Are they deliberately charging more when they are new?Zhu Jiang gritted his teeth: "Shopkeeper, your price is too much!"

The storekeeper raised his eyes calmly, looked at him, then lowered his head and continued to settle the bill: "Jiangxia's hotels like ours are basically at this price, and some of the better ones cost a tael of silver! If you don’t believe me, you can go and have a look along the way, it’s getting late now, what I said here is half-baked is half-baked, other places may really raise the price for you!”

Of course Zhu Jiang didn't believe what the shopkeeper said, he raised his chin and snorted and went out to have a look.

Yun Shen and Qian Qiu waited outside under the locust tree, and when they saw him come out, they asked, "Aren't you going to accept us?!"

Zhu Jiang waved his hand: "Hey, isn't it? They just opened their mouths, saying that a room in a wing costs half a penny for a night's sleep. Young master, are you angry?"

Yun Shen casually interjected, "It's the lion who opened his mouth."

Qianqiu sighed: "I thought they wouldn't accept us, but half the money isn't too expensive..."

Halfway through the speech, he saw Zhu Jiang's expression suddenly sinking, so he had to lower his tone: "Right?"

Yun Shen raised the corners of his mouth and lowered his eyes to smile.

Zhu Jiang rolled his eyes, helpless: "Master, do you have any idea of ​​saving money? No, no, no, do you have any idea of ​​spending money?"

Qian Qiu said with a dry smile: "Hey, don't you see that I'm saving money now. As for spending money, it's better for you to come."

Zhu Jiang Zhuangruo couldn't help shaking his head and rolling his eyes "my young master is hopeless", and several of them looked at each other and smiled.

In midsummer, Jiangxia County is prosperous and beautiful, compared to Qingcheng County, which is small and desolate, it is really much better.Qian Qiu turned her head, suddenly quite satisfied with such a life.

Life is short, since you are here in this world, you have to have fun in this short life, otherwise you will be too wronged yourself, won't you?

So Zhu Jiang insisted on "shop around" and took them to a few inns, and the results he got were really just as the original shopkeeper said, they were all above half the price.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Jiang could only return in frustration.Qian Qiu lifted the curtain: "Wait..."

"Master, what's wrong?"

Qianqiu nuzzled: "Go and see that hotel, when you were wandering here just now, you haven't gone in there yet."

Zhu Jiang followed him to look over, and only saw a three-story hotel with an already extremely gorgeous appearance.

Zhu Jiang was speechless: This looks like a hotel with a sky-high price!

"Anyway, you went to three houses, and it's okay to go to one more..." Qianqiu urged, "And you didn't ask for a tael of silver just now."

Zhu Jiang Wuyu made a gesture to ride the horse, but was stopped by Qianqiu's shocking momentum, the two confronted each other, while Yun Shen on the side looked at it leisurely.

The result of the compromise was that both of them got out of the carriage, pushing and shoving all the way to the high-end hotel.

From far away, Qianqiu saw the plaque of that hotel, with four flamboyant characters written on it: Penglai Nilv.

The word is full of heroism and completed in one go, extremely magnificent.

Qian Qiu let out a small exclamation in his heart, and while walking, his eyes were firmly glued to those four words, until his body bumped into a hard object unexpectedly before he stopped in pain.

Qianqiu let out an apology and quickly apologized, looking up at the hard object he hit, it turned out to be an old man.

The old man was dressed in a strange way, wearing a black Taoist robe, with a black cloth covering his eyes, Qianqiu wondered if he couldn't see, and he was still holding a flag in his hand.Qian Qiu took a closer look, and saw that the banner wrote: Zhang Tianshi...

Oh, it turned out to be a fortune teller.

At this time, Zhu Jiang, who was walking in front, also turned his head to see this scene, and hurried over to look at the old man vigilantly: "Master, why don't you leave?"

"I bumped into someone just now." Qianqiu said, "I'm sorry, I didn't look at the road just now."

Zhang Tianshi nodded silently upon hearing this.

Zhu Jiang frowned, and when he saw this, he wanted to drag Qianqiu away quickly, but unexpectedly, the celestial master stretched out the flag in his hand.

Immediately stopped the two of them, turned their heads to face Qianqiu's direction, and said rather puzzled: "Tsk? This young man, you have a sign of purple auspicious clouds on your body, and you are destined to be rich and honored..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Jiang quickly interrupted Zhang Tianshi as if facing an enemy: "I'm sorry, Zhang Tianshi, my young master and I are in a hurry to leave first!"

As he said that, he dragged Qianqiu to the Penglai Nilu quickly, while thinking: "Master, look at that man's fortune-telling skills, he must have a lot of money, don't count it!"

Qianqiu couldn't turn her head back, only heard a faint voice that seemed to be coming from the wind: "Young master, we will meet if we are destined."

In a blink of an eye, Penglai Nilv was right in front of him, and Qianqiu and Zhu Jiang stayed where they were in amazement as soon as they entered.

The repairs inside are excellent. There are eight bright lanterns hanging in eight directions, illuminating the first floor endlessly. There are some unique patterns tattooed on the six pillars. More than ten tables are made of high-quality wood. , Zhu Jiang knew it was red sandalwood at a glance, and what was even more surprising was that there was still a hint of floral fragrance in the air, which was faintly present, but refreshing enough.

The two were shocked by the scene in front of them, looked at each other guilty, and felt that they had come to the wrong place.

However, Xiaoer has already walked over: "You two guest officers, are you going to be the top or staying in the hotel?"

Facing Xiao Er's eager and attentive eyes, it is really not so cheeky to say that he went to the wrong place at this time.Qian Qiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Stay in the hotel..."

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Please come to the two guest officers." Then he turned around and led them towards the shopkeeper.

Qianqiu and Zhu Jiang felt guilty and apprehensive, but they had no choice but to follow along.

Zhu Jiang gave Qianqiu a resentful look, as if he was complaining that his young master had stabbed the basket again, so Qianqiu could only roll his eyes.

Before reaching the shopkeeper, Qian Qiu suddenly felt a strong feeling of being watched. He frowned and looked around, but only saw the back of a young man.He blinked, but finally turned back and followed Xiao Er to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper had a kind smile on his face: "Are the two guest officials going to stay at the shop?"

Qian Qiu nodded stiffly: "We only stay for one night."

The shopkeeper had already taken out his abacus, but after hearing what he said, he put it back again, his smile undiminished: "Then, do you want a wing room with a name of "Tian" or a name of "Di"? "

Without waiting for Qianqiu to answer, he went on talking on his own, and took a pen and paper to write something while talking: "The wing room of the "Tian" brand is fully equipped, and the materials inside are all high-quality, such as huanghuali; the "Di" brand is slightly inferior. Some of them use ordinary wood, but the facilities are also complete.Therefore, three taels of silver for the wing room of the "Tian" brand, and two taels of silver for the wing room of the "Di" brand. "

After finishing speaking, he moved the paper he had just written in front of the two of them: "Guest officers, this is the shop's promotional flyer. I think you are newcomers, so I hereby present it."

Zhu Jiang took it tremblingly, but he didn't even look at it. After trembling for a long time, he said, "Are you guys robbing?"

Qian Qiu also echoed: "What capital do you have to dare to charge such a high price?"

"capital?"

Before waiting for the shopkeeper's answer, a clear and slightly disdainful voice suddenly came in, Qianqiu turned his head and saw that it was the owner of the back figure he saw just now.

The young man came over, still waving a white folding fan in his hand.The shopkeeper hurriedly got up: "Young Master Zhou..."

The young man raised his chin and said to Qianqiu: "Do you know why this hotel is called Penglai? Penglai is an ancient fairy mountain, a place where everyone wants to ascend to heaven. Although this is a hotel, our The purpose is to turn it into a comfortable, noble and luxurious hotel, just like arriving in Penglai.”

He leaned closer to Qianqiu again: "As for the capital, you have heard about the Tianzihaodihao just now. And you have also seen the rosewood here. Oh, by the way, we don't accept any common people here, and they can't pay for it." To afford this high cost, Penglai Nilv is the place where officials at all levels, even the emperor, live."

He looked at Qianqiu leisurely: "Did you see the four words Penglai Nilv on the plaque outside? It was inscribed by the emperors of previous dynasties."

Qianqiu frowned and took a step back, distanced himself from the young man: "Don't accept ordinary people like us? That's just right, we don't have such a luxury to live here, so we left first." Said After finishing, Qianqiu took Zhu Jiang and walked out the door.

"Eh, wait."

Qianqiu and Zhu Jiang had to stop, and Qianqiu turned around: "What else do you need?"

The young man paced a few steps lightly, turned to Qian Qiu, and the folding fan in his hand "snapped", and went straight towards Qian Qiu's chin, and even touched his chin all at once, being forced Lifted up slightly.

Qianqiu suddenly burst into anger, and the humiliation and anger instantly turned into a hot current and rushed into his mind, making him lose his mind all at once, but the man's hands were so strong that he could only be forced to lift his chin, angrily He stared at the young man in front of him.

Zhu Jiang said angrily: "What are you doing?!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a very small sound of breaking wind, and then the folding fan that was touching Qianqiu's chin was pierced by something in an instant, and the young man was also biased by this force. took two steps.

Before Qianqiu could turn his head in the future, he saw Yun Shen quickly and steadily walking to his side and standing still.Immediately, Qianqiu felt a gust of wind blowing towards her face.

Yun Shen raised his eyebrows and glanced at the young man, pulled Qian Qiu behind him, turned his head and said, "It's getting late, why don't you leave?"

Qianqiu met those dark pupils that couldn't discern emotion, and was startled, nodded hurriedly: "Let's go, let's go."
