After moving out of the residence, he took his whole family to escape the famine
Chapter 116 Strange Events
Su Xinxing hugged her sister's neck and nodded vigorously, "Sister! I recently learned how to fold paper cranes from Brother Twelve. When you come back, I will also have a gift for you, hehe~"
Su Nanxing propped up her waist and put some distance between herself and Su Xinxing. Then she reached out and gently pinched her sister's plump cheeks, "Be good, just do your studies well."
Su Xinxing shook her head, "No."
After finishing her studies every day, she would plant flowers and vegetables with Jiang Ying, and then do handicrafts at night to give to Su Nanxing.
And Su Nanxing felt an indescribable warmth in her heart when she looked at her sister's cute little face.
She hugged her sister hard again.
I swore secretly in my heart.
No matter what happens, I won't let my sister know.
Even if she is not capable enough to win the Chu State and repay her father's innocence, she will still send her sister abroad to the more powerful Song State to live an upright life.
Su Nanxing didn't stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Su's mother and sister, he went to the west of the city to return the envelope left by Lin Feng.
Then we took a carriage to the south of the city.
The streets here in the south of the city are very complicated.
There are many small roads that turn left and right.
The local coachman had to go around several times before he found the Daofeng Inn.
The coachman was a talkative person. He first asked about Su Nanxing's name, and then where she was from, what she was going to do in the south of the city, and who she was going to meet.
Do you need to live in Ningfan City permanently?
After listening to a lot of talk, Su Nanxing finally found out that the coachman had an extra house in his house and was planning to rent it out.
The other party just wanted to ask Su Nanxing if he wanted to rent a house.
But Su Nanxing is already very skilled at making up identities. She said, "I'm from out of town and I'm going to the south of the city to find relatives."
The driver looked back at her with a strange expression.
Until he reached the door of the inn, he hesitated and said: "If you really want to live there, why not live in Dongfu? This wind is really..."
"what?"
Su Nanxing frowned and looked at him.
The coachman was embarrassed, "This can't be said to be... bad luck!"
Su Nanxing took out a tael of silver from his pocket and said, "Speak directly if you have something to say. I don't like to be secretive."
A bright smile broke out on the coachman's face, "I like girls who are happy and cheerful. Girl, let me tell you, this Daofeng and Dongfu Inn are right next to each other. The grades don't seem to be much different, and the prices must be about the same.
But it only costs five cents to stay in Daofeng a night, while Dongfu costs fifteen cents, which is three times more. So everyone must go to Daofeng, but here is the weird thing! "
The coachman half-covered his mouth with one hand, his face facing Su Nanxing, but his eyes glanced at Daofeng from time to time, as if there was some savage beast in the inn.
"Most of the guests who live in Daofeng will lose their money in the next few days. This happens more and more. Over the past ten years, people have gradually discovered that people who have no money will not lose it.
The ones who lost it were all those who had money hidden on their bodies. After that, everyone stopped going to Daofeng. The most common people there were to deceive foreigners. If you ask me, girls might as well live in Dongfu Lai to be safer. "
Su Nanxing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is this wind really that mysterious? Then I'm going to have a look and find out whether it was me who was unlucky when I met him, or whether it was his luck that came to an end when he met me!"
She originally didn't plan to live in Daofeng.
Anyway, Dongfu is so close.
She can cross directly from the open-air balcony above the floor.
But now, she has changed her mind.
The coachman looked surprised, "Girl, I've said this, why do you still want to go? Everyone says that this trend is caused by bad luck. It deliberately lowers the price to attract people to stay. Anyone who moves in will be plagued by bad luck. Go up and then lose your money!"
After hearing this, Su Nanxing just wanted to laugh.
Then she really laughed, "Ah - old man, how did you know it was a natural disaster and not a man-made disaster?" "But..." The coachman was speechless.
Su Nanxing didn't explain to the coachman anymore, got off the carriage, and took Gu Huaishu into Daofeng Inn.
The inn has a total of six floors.
Everything inside is brand new.
It’s completely different from what the driver said that it has been driving for more than ten years.
She had just walked in, and the shopkeeper in the lobby came out from behind the counter to greet the guests.
The other party was very enthusiastic, asking how long Su Nanxing would stay, what kind of room he would live in, and gave a general introduction to the layout of the inn.
"There are guest rooms upstairs. Sir, the room you chose is on the top floor, where the view is the best."
The shopkeeper welcomed Su Nanxing up the stairs on the right and said, "Go out from under the stairs and there is a small courtyard where you can go to the hot springs."
The lobby is in the middle, the access stairs are on the right, and the dining hall is also on the right.
Su Nanxing then asked: "What are you doing on the left?"
"It's just the kitchen in the back. It's very dirty, so please don't go look at it."
It was obviously a very common sentence, but Su Nanxing found that when the shopkeeper said this, his eyes looked around, and he seemed to be guilty.
She then continued to ask, "This inn is so big, why are you the only one here?"
"Oh, it's not that business is in a slump. There's a famine outside. The boss has laid off a group of people and their salaries have been reduced a lot."
"In this case, your boss is indeed a bit ruthless. Do you provide food and accommodation here?"
"Yes, I'll live in the room directly behind the kitchen."
Seeing the guest room on the sixth floor, the shopkeeper told Su Nanxing, "If anything happens, sir, please pull the long red rope behind the door, so I will know."
Then, the other party was about to leave quickly.
Su Nanxing suddenly said, "Send me some food, I'm a little hungry."
It's past noon now.
The shopkeeper responded, "Okay, Sir, please wait a moment. The dishes are finished. Do you want to eat downstairs or in the room?"
"Bring me the room."
When the shopkeeper turned around and walked away, Su Nanxing pushed open the room. The so-called five cents a night, the decoration in the room was indeed worthy of the price.
Su Nanxing had already chosen the best first-class room, which cost ten cents a night.
But the room was small, with only one bed, one table and one bench. It really was so poor, so poor...
Su Nanxing remembered that the last time she spent more than ten cents, she stayed at an inn in a small village outside Ningfan City, which was a hundred times better than this one.
She stepped forward and touched the mattress on the bed.
Get a cool and moist place.
When I lifted it up, I saw that there was only a thin quilt underneath. When I lifted it up again, it was just a bed board, not even a bamboo mat.
Zhu Hengqing really just had the words robbing money written all over his face.
She walked to the window, opened it, and looked down.
There are low buildings all around. The distance between the buildings is small and the windows are narrow. They are densely lit with weak light. It seems that every building is full of people.
The streets are winding and many pedestrians are walking in a hurry.
Su Nanxing closed the window and waited for the shopkeeper to deliver the food. She said, "Shopkeeper, do you have a thicker bedding? This one is too thin now and can't cover you warmly."
She stared at the shopkeeper's face carefully. As careful as she was, she easily caught the shopkeeper's eyes rising slightly, as if he was a little impatient. (End of chapter)
