Yunlai Inn.
This is the only inn in a radius of dozens of miles. Because it is close to the official road, business is usually very good. I don’t know what happened today, and even the downstairs where the shop guys sleep is also sold out, dressed in brown The shopkeeper in the robe, just sent a few guests upstairs, turned around and saw Lin Qing, who had just come to ask questions, led a group in, and hurriedly greeted him.
Just as he was about to speak, his eyes landed on a man and a woman who were surrounded by the crowd, and his steps slowed down.
His shop has been open for decades, what kind of customers have not seen on weekdays? But when I saw the two, I couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
A man wearing a black robe, with a black cloak embroidered with auspicious clouds rolled with gold borders. Unlike other men, he is not tied with jade, but with a pine flower purse and a bell. He looks young, but his eyebrows are calm, and he faintly reveals a noble air, which makes people unable to tell his age for a while.
And the girl wearing a white hood beside him, although he couldn't see her face clearly, but the light blue tunic was made of ten gold satin, not to mention the large circles of patterns and embroidery on the sleeves. The pattern is extremely complex, and I am afraid that it was carefully embroidered by the most famous embroidered mother.
These two people can no longer be described as either rich or expensive, but they must be characters from the Gongmenhou mansion.
I saw that the girl also had a purse with the same pattern on her waist.
The shopkeeper's heart was clear, and he quickly put away the stunned expression on his face, raised a smile and greeted him again, "Several guests, please come in, the room is ready for you, the food and drinks are all hot, you guys Let’s take a break in the room, and I’ll serve you the wine and food after a while.”
He and Li Qinyuan politely said, "Young Master, Madam, let this old man take you up."
Lin Qing and others lived in the lower-class room on the first floor, while Li Qinyuan and Gu Wuyou lived in the upper-class room on the second floor.
At this time, Lin Qing and the others bowed their hands to Li Qinyuan and walked to the room first, but Li Qinyuan did not step forward immediately, but lowered his eyelids and glanced at Gu Wuyou, and discussed with the shopkeeper, "There is no more room for me? Willing to pay three times the price."
"This… "
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, "My lord, there are not many people in the room, you see, it's too late, they are all asleep."
Li Qinyuan wanted to say more, but his sleeve was gently pulled, his body froze, and the words in his mouth that had not been spit out could not come out, he could only nodded stiffly at the shopkeeper, pursed his lips and said: " Then please lead the way."
"Ai."
The shopkeeper responded with a smile and bowed to invite them upstairs. He felt a little strange. The two looked like husband and wife, so how could they be separated? Maybe not married yet? He has been in business for so many years, but what he thinks in his heart will not show on his face.
After pushing open the door of a room, he invited them in with a smile: "The two guests will rest for a while, and the food and drinks will be served immediately."
Without seeing them speak, they retreated first.
After people leave.
Gu Wuyou took off the hood, she looked at the room, it was better than she thought, although it wasn't very big, but there were not many things that should be there, and it looked clean.
In fact, she didn't like to live in these inns outside. She always felt that it was not very clean. She used to be
There was no way, if she had to stay for a day and a half, Bailu Hongshuang would have to redo it for her, and replace all the utensils with the ones she used.
But now, where is there so much to pay attention to
In just half a month, she has slept in the cabin and lay in the carriage. When she is too tired, she can even sleep with clothes on the soft couch of the firm. Compared with those, this inn is much better.
"not bad."
Gu Wuyou held the curtain cap and said something casually. Just as she was about to enter, she found that the person beside her was still standing at the door with a look of embarrassment. She gave him a strange look, "What's wrong?"
Li Qinyuan looked down at her, still hesitant, "Otherwise, I'd better go to bed with Lin Qing and the others."
Gu Wuyou frowned, "You don't want to be with me?"
"Of course not!" Li Qinyuan immediately retorted, looking into Gu Wuyou's eyes, his voice slowed down again, don't overdo it, it's a very unfounded explanation, "I... I'm afraid of damaging your reputation."
Hearing this, Gu Wuyou couldn't help but want to laugh. He stepped forward, held his sleeve, and pulled the person into the room. After closing the door, he looked into the person's eyes and said, "I've chased him from the capital. , where is there any reputation that is not famous."
"Okay, if you want to go to guard Lin's side, I'm afraid they don't want you to go."
"They've been on their way for a few days, and you have pity on them, and let them have a good rest for a day."
After Gu Wuyou finished speaking, seeing that he didn't speak any more, he ignored him and carried his things to the bed. Before she could make the bed, Li Qinyuan's voice came from behind, "I'll come." As soon as the voice fell, the man He walked over to him and changed all the sheets and quilts underneath for her.
While doing these things, he glanced at the house again.
Fortunately, there is still a soft couch in this room. He will stay there at night for the rest of the night. It's a little smaller, but it's better than lying on the same bed with Gu Wuyou. He didn't have any resistance to her originally. , if you do something you shouldn't do at night...
"Li Qinyuan."
Gu Wuyou's voice came from behind.
He snapped back to his senses, turned his head, and his voice trembled, "What, what's wrong?"
"What are you thinking? I called you several times." Gu Wuyou looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was thinking at all, seeing him blushing and saying "nothing", not much. Asked, only said: "Let's eat first."
"… it is good."
The dishes are all home-cooked dishes, and the taste is average, but for Gu Wuyou, who has eaten dry food for a few days, this bit of meat and fishy is still enough for her aftertaste. In the past, you had to be picky eaters. Instead, he ate the rice in the bowl cleanly, without even complaining.
The charming thoughts in Li Qinyuan's heart also faded when he saw this scene.
He took the food for a while, looked at Gu Wuyou opposite with complicated eyes, and felt more pity and self-blame in his heart. Originally, he wanted to go back to Beijing to marry her and go home after the matter, but he thought it would become like this now...
"What's wrong?" Gu Wuyou noticed his gaze, blinked, and looked up at him.
"It's alright," Li Qinyuan restrained his thoughts, smiled at the person, and said in a gentle voice, "I'll show you around Shaoxing when I finish my work tomorrow, and when I come, Cong Yu said.
There is a good restaurant in Shaoxing. "
Gu Wuyou used to be very difficult to be satisfied, but now she can be happy with the little things, her eyes blazed with dazzling light, she replied with a smile, "Okay, I also heard that there is a awning boat over there. Such a big ship has never been built like that."
"Okay, I'll accompany you."
"And stinky tofu. When I read the book earlier, there was talk about the snacks over there. I want to try it."
No matter what she said, Li Qinyuan should be fine, but the two of them didn't say anything more. When the man came to pack up, Li Qinyuan said again, "Bring an extra quilt up."
That guy only thought about it when it was cold at night.
Gu Wuyou didn't think too much, but he didn't know what to think, so he called out, "Li Qinyuan."
"Um?"
Li Qinyuan looked back at her, "What's wrong?"
"I..." Gu Wuyou blushed a little, and his voice was a little soft, "I want to take a bath."
She used to take a bath once a day in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, but this time it was hard to endure the carriage for a few days. Plus two people slept in the same room at night, she didn't want to be so stinky, although ... it doesn't stink either.
Li Qinyuan was dumbfounded, as if he didn't hear clearly, "What, what?"
Gu Wuyou lowered his head, his small white hands were twisted together, and his two cute little ears were burning under the light of the candlelight, his voice was as thin as a mosquito, and he repeated, "I want to take a bath."
"… okay."
Li Qinyuan also knew that the girl's house loves cleanliness, so he nodded, as if this was not a big deal, and with a serious look, he walked outside and said, "I'll let Xiao Er go to boil the water." The voice was normal again. However, if you ignore his hand in hand.
However, Gu Wuyou kept his head down and didn't see it.
When she looked up, Li Qinyuan was no longer in the room. She stood there for a while and then turned around to pack her clothes.
Li Qinyuan, who walked out of the room, immediately leaned on the corridor after closing the door, his heart was thumping and beating non-stop. .
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
The little Er who came up with the quilt saw the extravagant man who was in the room just now, leaning against the wall at this time, his face was hot and his breathing was short, he thought he was ill, and just wanted to ask, he saw the man change his face. Like, it immediately turned into the original noble appearance.
"Bring it?"
Li Qinyuan reached out to the person, "Give it to me."
"okay."
Xiao Er handed it over and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Li Qinyuan shook his head, his voice had no emotion, "It's okay." Just thinking of what the little ancestor explained inside, his slender fingers suddenly curled up a little, and his voice became hoarse, "You... help me prepare hot water, I want to take a bath. "
Seeing people leave in response, he didn't go in immediately.
Instead, he opened the door and said to him, "Manman, the water is here, you wait a while."
A soft female voice came from behind the screen, "Okay."
Li Qinyuan rewarded the two of them and waited for them
After going out, he put the quilt on the soft couch, looked at the figure behind the screen and said, "You wash first, I'll watch from outside." He hurried out without waiting for an answer.
When Gu Wuyou turned out from behind the screen, he saw a door that was hastily closed.
She made a light "uh", but didn't say anything, she blocked the screen by herself, and took off her robes and took a shower.
When Gu Wuyou was taking a shower in the house.
Li Qinyuan had been waiting outside. He never knew that waiting was such a difficult thing. It was very late at this point, and the people in the other rooms on the second floor were probably already asleep.
In the silent night, he stood at the door of the room and could almost hear the sound of water inside.
He closed his eyes, but as soon as he closed his eyes, the voice became clearer and clearer, and he even drew pictures one after another in his mind. He quickly opened his eyes and slapped his face with his hand.
The sound was not too light, the sound of water in the room stopped, followed by Gu Wuyou's doubtful question, "Li Qinyuan?"
Li Qinyuan opened his mouth and realized that his voice had become a little hoarse. He quickly cleared his throat and replied softly, "I'm here, what's wrong?"
Gu Wuyou asked him, "What was the sound just now?"
"No, nothing..."
Li Qinyuan was naturally hard to answer. He slapped himself because he thought about those bastards and took a deep breath. He reluctantly said to her in a soft voice, "You wash slowly, I'll be outside, and I'll be fine. of."
Gu Wuyou didn't have any doubts at all, smiled and replied "Okay", and didn't speak any more.
Li Qinyuan didn't even dare to move this time. He stood stiffly at the door, like a tree that wouldn't move even if it was hit by the wind and rain. It wasn't that he couldn't hear him, he could only pursed his lips and recited the Qingxin Sutra over and over again in his heart.
