Chapter 308
From Liaodong all the way to Liaoxi.

In this stormy sky, we should be happy to finally see the guest house.

However, Ye Qing, the elder of the Ye family, looked at the three-story building in front of him and did not dare to move forward.

In the late Han Dynasty, in the bitterly cold Youzhou border area, this tall building made of unknown materials was undoubtedly very visually impactful.

Even the impetuous Ye family son Ye Shu did not dare to speak at this time.

If the building in front of me is really a guest house as the sign in front of the door says, how much would it cost to build a private guest house like this?

I'm afraid it will be a huge gold sink.

Ye Qing was about to call his nephew to leave.

Unexpectedly, dozens of people filed out of the door.

They lined up in two rows and bowed first: "You two distinguished guests, carriage and horse, please come inside!"

Someone took the lead, and shouts came and went.

When pedestrians on the street heard this, they all looked at him sideways.

The uncle and nephew, who wanted to retreat and find another place to live in the government-run post house, stood frozen in front of the door.

After a while, Ye Qing sighed quietly and said to his nephew: "Come in."

He had just asked the rude-looking city gate captain about his residence. He was afraid that he had made a huge mistake!
I don’t know which family is responsible for such a wicked attitude.

Since he is outside, he represents the face of the family.

Not everyone has the freedom to retreat calmly.

The uncle and nephew stepped into the front yard of this guest house.

The road in the courtyard is paved with white stones, and the people greeting guests are on both sides, with warm smiles on their faces that tickle people's backs.

The middle-aged man leading these people looked smiling. He stepped forward and said a series of words: "The presence of these two distinguished guests really makes the shop shine."

He said hello, then turned around and said, "Why don't you go forward to arrange your entourage and take care of the horses?"

Immediately someone came out and led the carriage to the backyard.

Thinking of the belongings on the car, Ye Qing was still about to speak, but the middle-aged man who looked like a steward already said considerately: "Dear guests, please rest assured. You two are here to visit friends and relatives, and you must have valuable belongings with you."

"The store provides the best security service and is linked to the Youyou Pavilion in Fangshi. If there is any abnormality, Youyou will be there in the blink of an eye!"

Following the direction of the steward's finger, I saw a corner of the eaves of Youyou Pavilion exposed in the distance.

Ye Qing's concerns were all blocked by the steward's mouthful of new words.

He opened his mouth in shock, but had nothing to say.

Taking two steps forward, I saw a very bright felt carpet spread on the ground.

Ye Qing and Ye Shu stopped and did not step up.

It is not uncommon for felt rugs to be a must-have for large households in the North when it comes to paving their floors in winter.

It is rare to see such a bright red color.

When they go out, they have to be on guard against others. The uncle and nephew don't want to be blackmailed.

This was not the first time that the guest hostel encountered them like this. He explained: "This blanket can remove frost and snow from the soles of the two distinguished guests' shoes and prevent the inner room from being stained. You can step on it."

After saying that, he stepped on the red carpet, stood in front of the door and raised the thick curtain.

The heat in the inner room hit his face, and Ye Qing's uncle and nephew hesitated for a moment, then followed him in.

I saw a bright inner room, as bright as day.

Ye Shunian was a bit more cautious. He turned around and looked around, but there was no light.

No matter how domineering and irritable a person is, when he goes to an absolutely unfamiliar place and sees something new everywhere, his temper will be restrained.

Ye Shu showed no usual arrogance. He suppressed his curiosity and walked to a counter that was half a person tall.

This counter is not made of wood, but is bright silver, and the light is discernible.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Ye Shu reached out his hand under his sleeve and touched it.

The tentacles were cold and smooth, like some kind of metal.

He wanted to secretly flick his finger, but when he heard his uncle Ye Qing's warning cough, he immediately retracted his hand and did not dare to move again.

Knowing that these outsiders did not understand the new things in Lingzhi, the specially hired steward was very sharp-tongued: "This store has rooms of Class A, B, C, and III."

"Class C is a large berth for eight people, but it also has a heated bed and bedding." "Class B is a double room with a heated bed and hot water, and a tiger child."

"Class A is the most suitable for the two of you! One room per person, with an independent fire wall to keep the whole house warm. There is a toilet and a warm bath for bathing."

After the introduction, the steward said nothing and only looked at Ye Shu with expectant and admiring eyes.

Ye Shuguo couldn't bear such a look.

When he was in Liaodong, he was also a prodigal and had no shortage of money.

Before Ye Qing could react, he said boldly: "Then there will be two A-class rooms, and the rest will be arranged in C-class rooms."

The steward immediately raised a big smile: "Okay! Please wait a moment."

Ye Qing wanted to speak again, but it was too late.

After glaring at the clan nephew, they were led to an upward staircase.

Two pretty girls held pots in their hands and sprayed them with alcohol-scented liquid.

The steward explained that this can drive away travel dust from the traveler's body and cure diseases and evil spirits.

This is a nonsense made up by Gongsun Yan in order to prevent the introduction of the epidemic.

Ye Qing was dubious about this, and was even a little unhappy because of the pungent smell of the disinfectant.

Fortunately, another maid sprinkled some rose-flavored water and he was fooled.

After entering the so-called first-class room, Ye Qing was a little dazed for a moment.

This first-class room was not as spacious as he imagined. It could even be called narrow.

There is a large bed with tall legs, a dressing table, and a set of strange-looking stools, tables and chairs.

All are household furnishings that people were accustomed to in the late Han Dynasty.

The only thing worthy of praise is the warm breeze blowing in the room, which is very warm.

The steward knelt down and took out a pair of extremely perfunctory blue rubber slippers, and said, "Dear guest, please take a look. This is a rare plant extract from overseas, using a mysterious process."

"It doesn't get wet when wet, it's light and soft."

Ye Qing put it on, took two steps, and couldn't help but groan.

Then the steward led him to a small booth and pressed him against the wall.

The inner room suddenly lit up.

Ye Qing, who had an unhappy face, slowly opened his eyes.

In this small space, there is actually a mirror that is one and a half tall and reflects people clearly!
Ye Qing didn't know what material it was made of, but it was a bright pearl placed next to the mirror.

He could clearly see a spot the size of a fingernail on his right cheek.

He couldn't help but blurt out: "Such a valuable thing is placed here?"

Not to mention how these two objects were found, are they displayed in such a big way?

The image of the owner of the shop, who is wealthy and powerful, has come to mind.

The steward smiled implicitly and said, "Otherwise, how can we call it a first-class room?"

The steward pointed to the white porcelain toilet next to him: "This is a tiger, you can use it like this."

The steward lifted his clothes and pretended to squat, and finally said: "Press this and the water will automatically wash away."

Ye Qing, a member of the Ye family who goes out to do business, has a good mind and learns quickly.

Looking at Huzi, who is said to be able to wash away dirt automatically, he couldn't help but take action.

He squatted down and touched the seat twice.

"Where do these rare treasures come from? And how do they work?"

Curiosity is the most powerful thing that drives human curiosity.

Ye Qing rubbed the toilet seat inch by inch and finally asked the steward the question he had been waiting for.

The steward smiled and clasped his hands: "After the new year, Lingzhi Chamber of Commerce will have a large number of new products on display."

"If your distinguished guests are interested, you can go and watch."

After saying this, the steward pointed to the wooden bathtub next to the thoughtful Ye Qing: "There is also this thing. Unscrew it and there will be hot water for bathing."
