Before Ren Ergou recovered from the shock that his boss was the emperor, Yi Cheng came in from the outside with a smile on his face, and saluted them from afar, "My lords, forgive me, forgive me, I just went out for business, and I didn't have time to greet them. How can the adults sit here? Er Gou invites the adults to the main hall..."
Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other, stood up, and did not follow Yi Cheng's words into the main room, but stood aside with a distant smile, but Mr. Zhuang, who heard the voice, came out of the main hall and drank two cups Nie Canjun of tea came out after him.
Yi Cheng's gaze shifted from Bai Shan and the others to Mr. Zhuang, and seeing Nie Canjun behind him with a knife and wearing a sixth-grade military uniform, he couldn't help but twitch his brows, but his face remained unchanged, enthusiastic He went to Mr. Zhuang, saluted and asked, "What's your name, sir, and where are you going for business?"
Mr. Zhuang nodded slightly, and said in a distant manner: "My surname is Zhuang, and I'm going to the Western Regions. This is a post station. I wonder if it's possible to arrange for us to stay?"
He pointed to Bai Shan and the others and said, "They are all accompanying family members, where do you think the arrangement is suitable?"
"It turned out to be Mr. Zhuang," Yi Cheng said with a troubled face: "Your Excellency should have seen it too. This post has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is really uninhabitable. Alas, I am also incompetent. I have no connections in the yamen. I want to apply. Repairs are always impossible, and to tell you the truth, I just went to the county government office to handle this matter, so I was late and delayed the reception of my lord."
The postman said: "My lord is on business. Although our post station is broken and small, we can't wrong you. In this way, I will recommend an inn for your lord. When the time comes, you will settle the settlement with the county government. Your lord only needs to pay the excess. …”
"It's just unreasonable," Mr. Zhuang said angrily before he finished speaking, "I didn't expect that there would be such a dereliction of duty in Shazhou. The post station is so damaged, but it still weighs on your repair funds."
Yicheng's words were cut off, so he could only nod his head and continue to cry poorly, "Yes, but adults also know that we are petty officials, and we have nothing to say to adults."
"It doesn't matter," Mr. Zhuang said, "When we meet the governor of Shazhou, we will definitely say a few words of justice for you, and maybe we can bypass the county government and directly transfer the repair funds to you."
Yi Cheng's brows and eyes twitched, and his heart began to feel uneasy. He raised his eyes to look at Mr. Zhuang, "Master Zhuang knows our governor?"
Mr. Zhuang didn't say he knew each other, nor did he say he didn't know him, but said: "I always have to come to visit, don't worry, I will definitely mention it when the time comes."
Are they going to leave the customs without seeing the governor
While talking, Li Guanshi came back lightly, just because Yi Cheng was standing beside him, it was not easy for him to go up and whisper to him, so he just nodded at him.
Bai Shan knew it well, and before Yicheng could continue the topic, he stepped forward and said respectfully: "Sir, Guanshi Li has already reserved a room at his place, Mr. is tired, why not go to rest first, and then talk to Yicheng later." Let’s talk in detail, it’s not too far away anyway.”
"Alright," Mr. Zhuang nodded, turned his head and said to Nie Canjun, "Let's go."
Nie Canjun couldn't help showing his teeth, and led people to surround Mr. Zhuang and Zhou Man with a smile.
Bai Shan stayed behind, nodded with Yi Cheng with a smile and said: "My husband has always kept his promises, and since he said it, he will definitely do it, don't worry."
Yicheng opened his mouth wide and wanted to say that he didn't have to do it, but the guards of the Bai family had already escorted Bai Shan out, and the soldiers and guards also escorted the carriage out.
Da Yu and the others looked at Yi Cheng's expression curiously, then chased him out with a smile, feeling much better strangely.
Li Guanshi didn't book a room at all, but it's not difficult to find accommodation. In a word, if you have money, are you afraid of not having a place to live
But the shopkeeper and the guy next door were standing at the door, and saw a group of them come out of the post station with a whimper, instead of going to the opposite side, they came towards them, and the leader was the steward who came to ask questions just now , Immediately cheered up, and immediately greeted with a smile on his face, "Come in, please come in, the guests are going to stay in the hotel, come on, hurry up and make room for the first two courtyards for the distinguished guests..."
When Yicheng chased out with Ren Ergou, Man Bao and the others had already entered the gate of the inn next door, and the first carriage followed the guidance of the staff into an alley, which led directly to the two courtyards behind.
Yicheng opened his mouth, looked at it for a while and then turned back to stare at Ren Ergou, "What did you tell them?"
Ren Ergou hadn't recovered from the fact that his boss was the emperor—Yi Cheng was so cautiously shocked in front of Bai Shan and the others. When he was asked such a question, he said in a daze: "I didn't say anything, just Said that my family has four brothers, I have to save money to marry a wife... "
"Okay, okay," Yi Cheng interrupted him, frowned and thought for a while, although he really wanted to pull him out, but he knew it was impossible.
Not to mention that stealing customers like this is a taboo in the industry, and Yunlai Inn is not behind him who can steal customers without scruples.
Yicheng frowned and thought for a long time, then turned his head and asked Ren Ergou, "Did they say that I opened an inn opposite?"
Ren Ergou is stupid, but not stupid. Although he didn't say it directly, but...
The meaning should be there, right
He lowered his head firmly, not daring to raise his head, so he could only mumble, "I never said that..."
Yi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but considering that he was next door now, shopkeeper Zhang would probably take the initiative to mention it.
He frowned and asked, "Did they say they would stay here for a few days?"
But he didn't say this, so Ren Ergou shook his head firmly.
Yi Cheng frowned and left, really, why are these officials so serious, the post station is so dilapidated, shouldn't they even enter the door
It would be nice to go directly to the inn, but it seems to be going to the end.
Although it is troublesome, Yicheng is not flustered. It is not that he has encountered such a thing before, but it is easy to solve. Those officials who are on business trips will not stay and sue him for such a trivial matter, so most of them will not Let it go.
For the few who can't let it go, he will give some gifts and say some good things and it will be over.
Yicheng left with his hands behind his back, but the shopkeeper Zhang who was transported to the inn carefully arranged their accommodation. The two courtyards, the remaining upper rooms, and the rooms below were all ready for them.
He said that even if he leaves the room, he will not cram many people in. He will only accommodate ten people in a room with twelve beds, and the room fee is the same.
Hot water is provided for free, as well as hot soup, etc...
Because they still stayed in his inn after Yicheng came, he felt that he was destined to them and shared the same goals, so he warmly entertained them all the way, and said: "The distinguished guests want to eat here, I will send them off tonight A table of shredded radish is an appetizer in our shop, it is delicious."
After hearing this, Manbao and the others who planned to go out to eat immediately decided to have dinner here tonight.
So shopkeeper Zhang smiled and ordered the staff to prepare meals.
