Chapter 98

Xiang Qin and Liu Xiaodong walked for four and a half days before reaching Guo County, and they first found an inn to stay.

The first thing Liu Xiaodong did when he entered the inn was to ask the waiter for a bucket of hot water. She wanted to take a good bath and then sleep well.After driving for so many days, Liu Xiaodong has not been able to take a good rest, and now she can hardly keep her eyes open.

"Okay, guest officer, I'll bring hot water to your guest room right away, do you have any other orders?" The shop waiter sent Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin to the guest room, looking at Liu Xiaodong with a smile on his face.

"No, I just need these for now."

"Okay, then you rest first, and I will boil water for you right away."

Liu Xiaodong nodded, then closed the door, the waiter trotted down the stairs, and then shouted to the kitchen, "The guests upstairs want to take a bath, boil a bucket of water."

The people in the kitchen heard it and replied loudly, "Okay."

Just when Liu Xiaodong was in a daze and was about to fall asleep, a knock on the door woke Liu Xiaodong up. Only then did Liu Xiaodong realize that she was no longer in the northwest, so there was no need to be so careful.

Liu Xiaodong went to open the door, and there was the waiter outside the door. There were two people standing behind the waiter carrying the bathtub together. The waiter smiled and said, "Guest officer, the hot water you asked for is here, can you put it in?"

Liu Xiaodong nodded, "Well, come in."

The shop waiter gave way to the two people behind him, and Liu Xiaodong also stood on the side of the door, allowing the two people carrying the bathtub to come in.

After putting down the tub, the two left first.The shop clerk said to Liu Xiaodong, "Then guest officer, take it easy, call me when you have something to do."

"Ah."

After the shop waiter also left, Liu Xiaodong took off his clothes and went into the bathtub, feeling that the fatigue on his body was washed away in an instant, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until the water in the bucket became a little cold that Liu Xiaodong was willing to get out of the tub, changed into clean clothes, dried his hair, and lay down on the bed to sleep.

At dinner time, Liu Xiaodong was still asleep. Xiang Qin originally wanted to wake her up and let her go back to sleep after eating, but on second thought, let her sleep, because she hasn't slept in one in so many days. It's a good sleep, let her have a good sleep first.

Liu Xiaodong fell asleep until the next morning. He was woken up by hunger. After waking up, Liu Xiaodong stretched his waist and felt much better.

When they went downstairs, Liu Xiaodong asked Xiaoer for a bowl of oil-splashed noodles and a bowl of millet porridge. Just as they were about to finish, Xiang Qin also came down from the stairs, and Liu Xiaodong said hello, "Master Qin, good morning."

"Morning." Xiang Qin said to the waiter again, "Bring me the same one too."

"Okay." The shop waiter shouted as he walked to the kitchen, "Two bowls of fried noodles and two bowls of millet porridge."

The chef in the kitchen put the porridge into the pot when he heard Xiaoer’s voice. The porridge was already ready, so just take it out. The waiter went to the kitchen to bring the porridge to Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin, “Here comes the porridge.” gone."

After a while, the noodles were ready, Xiaoer brought the noodles over and put them in front of them, "You two, use your oily noodles slowly."

Liu Xiaodong was full after eating half a bowl of noodles and another bowl of porridge. Seeing that Liu Xiaodong had finished eating, Xiang Qin picked up Liu Xiaodong's remaining noodles and ate them.

"Hey, Mr. Qin, this is what I left." Liu Xiaodong hurriedly stopped Xiang Qin, how could he eat what was left of her?
Xiang Qin glanced at Liu Xiaodong indifferently, "Don't waste food."

Liu Xiaodong didn't know what to refute in one sentence, but he still tried to explain to Xiang Qin, "But... I have eaten this."

"I don't dislike you, what else do you care about?" After Xiang Qin finished speaking, he picked up the noodles in Liu Xiaodong's bowl and put them in his mouth.

Liu Xiaodong wanted to say more, but Xiang Qin had already eaten, so she didn't need to say more, but at the same time, she thought in her heart that she would never eat with him again.

Xiang Qin was still eating the leftover noodles from Liu Xiaodong, so Liu Xiaodong went upstairs first and went back to his room. As soon as Liu Xiaodong entered the room, Xiang Qin also finished eating the noodles, took a look at Liu Xiaodong's room upstairs, and went out from the inn .

Xiang Qin went out of the inn to rent a carriage, and then walked around the street, looking for a pawnshop, intending to pawn the jewelry they brought out of Dong Yichang's study and exchange it for silver. It's also more convenient.

Because Guo County is also very close to the northwest.Therefore, the business here has also been affected badly. No one has come to the pawnshop for a long time. Stuff or buy something?"

Xiang Qin took out the things in his arms and put them on the table, "Think of things."

The smile on the shopkeeper's face was even brighter, "Is the guest officer dead or alive?" When you have money, you can redeem the things that have been pawned, but dead pawns are not.

"Death."

The shopkeeper opened the bag Xiang Qin put on the table, took one of the white jade pulleys and pointed it out, and looked at it against the light, "Not bad, not bad." To be honest, the shopkeeper has never seen such a fine jade, it is so clear. There is not even a trace of impurities, but the shopkeeper can't say how good this product is in front of the customers, otherwise how can he make money?
The shopkeeper looked at the other things in the bag, and none of them were bad.The shopkeeper thought that a big customer came today, and he could make a good profit.

"How about 50 taels?" The shopkeeper held a finger and looked at Xiang Qin.

After waiting for a while, Xiang Qin didn't speak, and the shopkeeper also understood that the price he said was a bit low, "Then 70 taels?"

Xiang Qin still didn't speak, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth, "One price, 100 taels, how about it?"

Xiang Qin looked at the shopkeeper like a fool, "This means that even if I want 500 taels, there are others who want it. Since you don't want it sincerely, then I'll just switch to a pawnshop."

"Guest officer, isn't this 500 taels a little too much?" The shopkeeper didn't expect to meet a knowledgeable person, but he really wanted the jade, so he wanted to bargain again.

"400 taels." Xiang Qin's tone was firm.

The shopkeeper knew that this was Xiang Qin's biggest concession, "This...well, it's only 400 taels." The shopkeeper hesitated and agreed.

The shopkeeper picked out a few pieces of jewelry from Xiang Qin's bag, all of which were gold jewelry, but the workmanship was exquisite, and finally agreed on a piece of jewelry at 280 taels.

After Xiang Qin came out of the pawn shop, the contents of the bag were less than half, but there was more than 200 taels of silver. Except for the 200 taels of Xiang Qin's cash from the shopkeeper, the remaining 1000 taels were exchanged for bank notes.
