Chapter 35: The Alley Behind the Inn

"Please ask the cow shopkeeper to lead the way!" Gu Chengyu looked at Gu Wanhua and they were all a little tired, so they still went into the room to rest and then had dinner.

"Damn, you come out to entertain guests, and I'll take the guests to the upper room!" The cow shopkeeper commanded towards the backyard.

"Hey! Come on! A crisp female voice came from the backyard, and it was a hearty woman.

"Cow shopkeeper! Why are you willing to let your mother-in-law come out today? Aren't you well hidden? A man who was drinking looked up and laughed and teased the shopkeeper.

"Isn't it because of a distinguished guest?" Another man answered.

"Oops! You're all here regulars! It's casual, these guests have just arrived, and I always have to say hello! Don't make fun of me! The cow shopkeeper arched his hand to the people who were eating, apologizing!

The shopkeeper Niu took Gu Chengyu and them to the outside of the guest room on the third floor, and said in his mouth while opening the room: "Don't mind, sons!" They have no malice, they are just rough people, their words and deeds are somewhat rough, and they are not bad people. ”

"The rooms on the third floor are all upper rooms, there are five rooms in total, the room is not very big, but it is still enough for two people! It's just that you can only put it once, and you can't put two beds. ”

Gu Wanhua: It's okay for them all. Although the inn is small, it is more expensive than the inn in the county, not to mention that during the exam, basically all inns will increase in price. Gu Wanhua and Sun Xian lived in one room, while Ye Zhiqiu and He Shunian had already put their luggage in one room.

For the rest, it was Gu Chengyu's turn. Gu Chengyu wanted to live alone, who knows, Mingmo and Gu Wanqian disagreed, the reason was that they had to serve tea and pour water at night.

In the end, he was driven away by Gu Chengyu, he was not a stingy person, he booked a room for both of them, Mingmo wanted to live in the next room, but was stopped by Gu Chengyu for the reason that he was close to the upper room and went with the rumor.

"Will the meals of the sons be delivered to the room, or will they be placed in the lobby?" The shopkeeper estimated that they would not go to the lobby to eat.

"Of course, it was sent to the room, and when I first arrived at the inn, everyone was quite tired." As soon as Gu Wanhua finished listening to the words of the shopkeeper Niu, he hurriedly replied.

In fact, he didn't want to sit and eat with those men, he would be uncomfortable. Those people said everything, and he, a person who became a relative, would blush when he heard those meat jokes, not to mention that there were a few people here who were not married!

Mingmo packed Gu Chengyu's luggage first, and then went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper Niu to prepare hot water for dinner and bathing.

Gu Chengyu took a look, the room was very simple, but not simple, and the bedding on the bed was also very clean, and it was very soft to the touch. It seems that this inn is still clean, but I don't know if the lower room and the middle room are the same.

"Childe! But do you want to wash up before eating? Mingmo and the man carried the water into the room and instructed the man to carry another bucket.

He knew the habit of his son, and although he was in a carriage when he was in a hurry, dust would still get into the carriage. Childe loves to be clean, so he must clean it first.

"Hmmm! The meal will be served later, let him watch and pick up two or three dishes! Go out to eat and wash up, too! I can do it on my own! "Gu Chengyu plans to clean up and relieve his fatigue!

The next day, Gu Chengyu looked at the quiet alley outside the window, ready to go out for a walk and familiarize himself with the surrounding environment. The government exam will be held tomorrow, and he always knows how to go to the examination room.

Just as Gu Chengyu was about to retract his gaze, he suddenly saw the door of a house in the alley open, and then a gorgeously dressed woman came out, the woman was very handsome, about twenty years old, but this kind of dress and demeanor did not give people the feeling of being a woman from a good family.

I saw that she looked left and right, saw that there was no one, waved her hand, and let another person in the room come out. Gu Chengyu looked at it, it turned out to be a man dressed as a scholar, this man was still holding a fan in his hand, looked left and right to make sure that there was no one, and quickly prepared to walk outside the courtyard.

Then the woman said, "Dead ghost! Come to me often! ”

But the scholar didn't even look back, and hurried away. The woman sighed and planned to go back into the house. At this time, the courtyard door of the next house also opened, and a stout woman, straddling a basket of vegetables, was ready to go to the street to buy vegetables.

When I saw the woman who had just entered the yard, I snorted! "Little slut, hooking a man into her arms all day long, earning such silver, the ancestors will be so angry that they will crawl out of the grave!"

Gu Chengyu immediately understood that this was a dark girl. In ancient times, there were not only brothels, but there were also many dark women, such women did such business in their own homes or rented yards, and they were not under the control of Qinglou!

No wonder there are no scholars living in the inn, one is the reason for the tenants, and the other is the courtyards behind, right? Gu Chengyu didn't believe that there was this one in the courtyard behind.

No matter what those scholars thought about these women in their hearts, in short, they must be disdainful and spurned on the surface, how could a scholar who cherishes feathers live in such an inn? It's just that people who don't know, just come in and stay for two days, and they will find out!

Gu Chengyu didn't mind much about this, and the horizontal and vertical had nothing to do with him! Close the window and prepare to call He Shunian and them to explore the examination room!

"Childe! But to get out? Mingmo entered the room and asked the man to bring the meal to the table.

"You don't have to follow me today, go around the streets, and see what shops are for sale. It's also good to inquire about the tooth shop, pick a good location, the shop doesn't need to be big, come back and tell me! I'm going to open a pinsai to Fucheng! ”

Gu Chengyu finished eating and instructed Mingmo.

"Yes!" Mingmo nodded and agreed, still a little excited in her heart.

Steward Yu still has two days to come to Fucheng, and Gongzi will hand over the matter to him, that is also to trust him, if you want to become Gongzi's right-hand man, this matter must be handled well!

Gu Chengyu took out twenty taels of silver from his arms and gave it to Mingmo, "Don't be stingy with money outside!" ”

At this time, Gu Wanqian walked out of the room, "Uncle! ”

"My classmates and I are going to go shopping on the street, you and Mingmo go out, buy two clothes for yourself, and Mingmo has the silver!"

Gu Wanqian's clothes didn't fit well, so he had to buy two sets, and no one in the Gu family would give him clothes.

"Mingmo is out, and there is no one around my uncle, so I'll follow my uncle!" Gu Wanqian didn't want to leave Gu Chengyu, he only felt that Gu Chengyu was forced to accept him now, but he didn't want to stay by his side, he had to fight for it himself so that he wouldn't be left behind!

"I wasn't alone before? Go ahead! Gu Chengyu turned around and went to find He Shunian and them.

He knew what this nephew thought, but Gu Wanqian looked well-behaved on weekdays, but in fact, his mind was too heavy, so he was afraid that Gu Chengyu would leave him and couldn't wait to leave an inch, which made him a little irritable.

Gu Chengyu is a person with secrets, of course he doesn't like people to follow him all the time!

"Seiyu! We're going to find you, let's go out on the streets! By the way, take a look at the examination room, we are far away, I'm afraid we will have to leave early tomorrow morning! "It was Ye Zhiqiu who was coming, and he was followed by He Shunian and them.

"I'm going to look for you too! Let's go together! Gu Chengyu and the others went down to the first floor, and there were not many people at the dinner table on the first floor at this time, so it was expected that some people might have gone out to work early.

"How many sons are going out? Do you lock the door? "The cattle shopkeeper is very kind and very attentive.

"Thank you for the reminder! It's all locked! Go check out the exam room! Gu Chengyu replied with a smile.
