Chapter 175 Detour to Yizhou
Yongzhou is about [-] miles away from Fuzhou. The terrain is flat, and most of the long distances are official roads. If you ride a fast horse and lightly ride, you can reach it in a few days.However, for the sake of safety, it was finally agreed to detour to Yizhou and practice medicine all the way from East Road to Fuzhou.

Seven days later, Qing Zhu and Liu Qing arrived in Yizhou, sold the horses at the market, and bought two donkeys.

"It's getting late today. We've been running around for so many days. Let's take a rest in Yizhou for a night and rest. Let's go to Fuzhou tomorrow." Coming out of the market, Qingzhu, who was dressed in men's clothing, took a look at those who had also changed into men's clothing. Liu Qing said.

"Yes, just as you said." Liu Qing, who led the two donkeys together and carried a large medicine box, nodded and responded.

Although Yizhou is only Zhongzhou, it is relatively close to Fuzhou, and it is the only place to go to Fuzhou and Shangjing from the southeast and northeast. In addition to the rich water source, the land in the state is also quite fertile, so it has always been rich.Moreover, this place has been less affected by drought and waterlogging this year, so the city of Yizhou is very lively.

The two of them were not in a hurry to find the inn, so they led the donkey along the bustling street and walked along the bustling street. After about half an hour, they saw an inn called Youjian Inn.

Qing Zhu pointed at the inn and said with a smile: "The name of this inn is interesting, how about we live here today?"

Liu Qing kept King Ning's order in mind, not only commensurate with Qingzhu's master and servant all the way, but also treated Qingzhu with the same respect as his master. Naturally, he would not disobey her intentions, so he nodded and agreed again immediately.

"Hey, please come to the two guest officers, are you staying in the inn or are you in the top?" The waiter who had been waiting at the door to welcome customers saw Qing Zhu and Liu Qing walking towards their inn, and hurried out. He yelled and asked.

"You have no eyesight, little one." Qing Zhu pointed to the sky and smiled, "It's so late in the day, and you still ask me if I'm staying in the shop or as a top-notch, yet your shopkeeper didn't fire you, that's rare."

The shop clerk scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Don't blame the guest, I just said it smoothly. I don't know how many times the shopkeeper scolded me on weekdays, but I can't change it, and the guest officer laughed."

"It's not strange, it's not strange." Qingzhu shook his head, pointed to his donkey and said, "Take this to your stable, wash it well, soak a few catties of soybeans, and get some good fodder for them to eat. gone."

"Yes." The shop clerk hurriedly responded, stepped forward, took the reins of the two donkeys from Liu Qing's hands, walked a few steps, turned back, looked at Qingzhu and said: "Guest officer, this soybean has always been For good horses, your donkey only needs a few catties of rough food, do you really need soybeans and fine food?"

"You little boy, why do you still value horses over donkeys? Beware of them kicking you with their hooves. I will not be responsible at that time."

Qingzhu's words were originally a joke, but who knew that the two donkeys seemed to understand it, and started barking loudly, and while they were barking, they used their hooves to plan the stone slabs on the ground.

"Yes..." The shop waiter heard the donkeys braying and saw them pawing the stone slabs on the ground. Afraid that he would really be kicked, he hurriedly said in a drawn-out voice, "Dele, high-quality forage and soybeans."

As soon as the waiter said something, the two donkeys fell silent, Qingzhu couldn't stop laughing, and finally said to Liu Qing: "Look, isn't the donkey I chose very good?"

"Yes, the young master is excellent in everything he does." Liu Qing said respectfully.

"I know you are used to coaxing me with good words, that's all, let's go in first and talk about it." Said, Qingzhu walked into the inn first.

"Yes." Liu Qing followed behind Qing Zhu and went in with her.

"Guest officer, please come inside." As soon as Qing Zhu entered, another waiter came up to greet her and led Qing Zhu to the counter.

The shopkeeper was clattering his abacus at first, writing something into the account book at hand while typing.Seeing Xiaoer leading Qingzhu over, he quickly put away the abacus, with a smile on his face instantly, looked at Qingzhu and said enthusiastically: "Guest officer, you are here, I don't know if you want two upper rooms, or ..."

The shopkeeper's voice dragged on, or later, he still refused to say a word.

It’s not that the innkeeper is very good. It can be seen that Liu Qing is not an ordinary attendant. When the innkeeper asked this, he probably heard that Qingzhu was outside and asked the waiter to feed his donkey with concentrate and soybeans. He knew that the owner was not short of money. So I asked this on purpose.

After all, the money for a room for one night is many times more expensive than an ordinary room.

"The two upper rooms should be next to each other." Qingzhu looked at the shopkeeper, nodded slightly and said.

"My lord, the young ones don't need to go to the house." Liu Qing's role was brought in well, and when he heard that Qing Zhu wanted two rooms to go to, he quickly said in a low voice.

"My little brother, there is a long distance between the common room and the upper room." Hearing Liu Qing's words, the shopkeeper was not in a hurry. He knew from what Qingzhu said earlier that the two would live next door. Yes, looked at Liu Qing slowly and said.

"Did you hear that?" Qingzhu smiled at Liu Qing, looked at the shopkeeper and said affirmatively: "I need two upper rooms."

Thinking about the tasks on her body, after hearing the shopkeeper's words, Liu Qing did not make any further excuses, and bowed her head slightly, as if she acquiesced to Qingzhu's arrangement.

"Tianzi No. [-] room is already occupied, but No. [-] and No. [-] rooms happen to be empty, and it's just right for two guests to stay in." The shopkeeper said while smiling and writing it down in the booklet.

"Shopkeeper, I want two adjacent upper rooms. Give me No. [-] and No. [-]. There is so much space in between, are they still adjacent?" Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Qingzhu frowned, looking Said to the shopkeeper.

"Guest officer, don't worry, Tianzi No. [-] and Tianzi No. [-] are next to each other here. You can follow Xiao Er upstairs, and you will understand at a glance." The shopkeeper yelled again: "Shunzi, In rooms No. [-] and No. [-] of Tianzi, lead the two guest officers up and serve them carefully."

"Come on, please come upstairs, two guest officers." The waiter in the shop said, bowed slightly, and walked upstairs with a sideways body in front of him.

Qingzhu thought that since the shopkeeper opened the door for business, it was impossible to deceive herself about such a trivial matter, so she took Liu Qing and walked upstairs with the waiter.

Because the two had an obvious master-slave relationship, the waiter naturally gave priority to taking care of Qingzhu, so he took Qingzhu to her room first.

Walking to the door of Tianzi No. [-] room, the waiter pushed open the door and introduced: "Young master, this is Tianzi No. [-] room, can you see if you are satisfied?"

As he said that, the waiter in the shop introduced again: "The left side of this room is Tianzi No. [-], and the right side is Tianzi No. [-]. The opposite is also the upper room of our shop, which is Tianzi No. [-], Tianzi No. [-] and Tianzi No. [-]." .Our innkeeper doesn't like four, five, and seven, so, just arrange our rooms like this."

Hearing what the shop waiter said, Qing Zhu also understood.Those who open a shop pay attention to auspiciousness. In their ears, the four links are dead, the five links are not, and the seven links are abandoned. They are not good numbers. No wonder they are ranked like this.

"You have so many rooms in this small inn, aren't you afraid that there are too many empty rooms?" Qing Zhu followed the waiter into the room, and saw that the furnishings in the room were clean and tidy. Difference.The furnishings of the whole room are quite elegant and delicate, and I am secretly satisfied. Looking at the bed sheets, quilts and mosquito nets on the bed, they all look like new, and I can't help but smile.

"Not afraid."

The waiter picked up the snow-white sweat towel on his shoulders and wiped it carefully on the tables and chairs in the room. While wiping, he said, "It's not a small boast. Don't look at our small appearance, but our inn is in Yizhou. It can be regarded as one of the best. Many high-ranking officials, nobles, merchants and wealthy merchants live in our shop when they arrive in Yizhou."

"Not only these upper houses, but also a single-family yard behind us. It is not only quiet and elegant, but also convenient for everything. When you close the door, it's like living in your own home. But you two are small and live in a separate The yard is not cost-effective, but it is convenient to go to the house."

While talking, the waiter had already arranged the tables and chairs in the room, and wiped everything. After wiping, he put on the sweat towel on his shoulders again, which was still white.

Obviously, the waiter's action was not to wipe the dust, but to let the guests who lived in this room know how clean their room was, so that the guests could stay at ease.

"It's not bad." Qingzhu looked around the room again, and saw that the big wooden barrel behind the screen was also dry and clean, as if it was new. You dare to say that your inn is one of the best in Yizhou. I am also a little tired. Let’s rest for a while. After you lead my attendants to the next door to rest, ask someone to bring up two buckets of hot water for us to take a dip. , relieve fatigue."

"That's it." The waiter said as he retreated out the door.

"Young master, you rest first, the younger one is next door, just call out if you need anything." Liu Qing saw the fatigue on Qing Zhu's face, and thought of the two of them galloping all the way in the past few days. People who practice martial arts feel a little tired, let alone an ordinary woman like Qingzhu who doesn't understand martial arts at all, so she didn't say much, just opened her mouth and was about to withdraw.

However, no matter how tiring the journey was, Qing Zhu never said a single bitter word, which made Liu Qing admire.

"Well, you're tired too, so take a good rest." Qingzhu nodded, looked at Liu Qing and said.

"Yes, my little one will leave." After saying that, Liu Qing took two steps back, turned around and walked out.

Seeing Liu Qing come out, the waiter in the shop gently closed the door, and then said to Liu Qing: "My lord, your room is next door, please come and take a look."

While talking, the shop waiter pushed away the Tianzi No. [-] room next door, led Liu Qing in, picked up the sweat towel on his shoulders, and as usual wiped the tables, chairs and room furnishings.

"You don't need to wipe it anymore, I saw it just now." Liu Qing stopped the waiter's movements, and said, "Go down first, give me an order, and bring me two buckets of hot water, so I can relieve my fatigue."

"Yes." The shop clerk followed suit, retreated out, and closed the door behind him.

After a while, the shop waiter named Shunzi came up with two rather sturdy handymen carrying hot water.

After the shop clerk and the handyman left, Qingzhu locked the door latch, took out a small bag of ginger powder wrapped in gauze from the bag, and threw it into the hot water in the wooden barrel. The white cloth on his chest was untied, and he stepped into the barrel.

After soaking in the hot water, coupled with the faint smell of ginger in the water, Qing Zhu felt that every pore of his body was moaning with comfort, and the fatigue of the past few days seemed to gradually disappear in the hot water.

After soaking in the bath, Qingzhu and Liu Qing had a light but rich dinner together, walked nearly a hundred steps in the room, and then went to bed early to rest.

Around midnight, Qing Zhu was awakened from her sleep by a burst of crying.
