Quick Travel: I will take the host to prodigal family

Qingyuan took Liu Haoli and Zhou Wan'er to stay at an inn in Taiping County. This inn was the largest in the county and could accommodate their group.

Several people entered the inn and looked at the landscaping and environment inside the inn with curiosity. They discovered it on the way into the city.

This Taiping County is different from all the counties they have seen, and it even seems more prosperous than their capital!

Not to mention that the street is paved with bluestone slabs, and poplar trees are planted on both sides. There are also small flower beds built in front of each shop. In the flower beds, there are actually various kinds of expensive flowers planted, which can be seen. The group of people smacked their tongues slightly!

These expensive flowers are nothing to them, but to other people in Beijing, they can be said to be precious, not to mention that this small county has so many planted on both sides of the street. What expensive flowers!

Arriving at the inn, everyone was even more surprised!

Because hanging in the center of the inn was an extremely luxurious crystal chandelier. Its style and level of luxury were something they had never heard of or seen before!

"A few guests, do you need accommodation?"

Entering the inn, someone came up to ask.

"Well, is there an independent courtyard that can accommodate people like us?" Zhou Wan'er closed the folding fan in his hand and said to the waiter of the inn.

"Yes, yes, how long do you need to order?" The waiter greeted a few people to the counter and asked.

Zhou Wan'er didn't know how long His Majesty would stay in Taiping County, so he could only look back and ask her.

"Let's stay for a few days." Qingyuan said calmly.

"In this case, the guests will pay five days' rent in advance, and any excess will be refunded or less compensation. What do you think?" I don't know which days she mentioned?So the waiter suggested.

"Okay, how much is the price?"

Several people have no opinion.

The waiter calculated in his mind and quickly said: "Our courtyard has six rooms and a small kitchen. The rent for one day is 50 taels of silver, and for [-] days it is [-] taels!"

"So expensive?! Are you trying to steal money?!"

Liu Haoli shouted out. She could still understand the price of the most luxurious inn in the capital, but why could an inn in this small county have the same price as the most luxurious inn in the capital?

"Let the guests know that everything in our inn is of the best quality, and the service is naturally the best. It is definitely worth the price!" the waiter explained.

"It doesn't take ten liang..." Liu Haoli gradually closed her mouth under Qingyuan's eyes.

"I'm making you laugh. My sister is ignorant. Ten taels of silver is just ten taels of silver. Why bother the waiter to help me find a small courtyard?" Zhou Guan'er stepped forward at Qingyuan's signal and took out a He handed a banknote with a face value of 50 taels to the waiter and said.

"Okay! I'll register you for a room in Xueyueyuan here!" The waiter quickly drew a circle on the inn's words "Xueyueyuan" to indicate that someone was staying there, and then handed over the key to Xueyueyuan. Got them.

"This is the key to Xueyueyuan. We will clean it at noon every day. Otherwise, if the guests do not need it, our inn will not disturb the guests."

The waiter suddenly remembered something again and warned them: "There is a special washroom in the courtyard, and there is a place where you can use water. Then I will take you to Xueyueyuan and teach the guests how to use the washroom." water inside.”

"It's just water, don't we know how to do it?"

Liu Haoli rolled her eyes and gave up on the outrageous prices charged for accommodation in the inn in this lower county. Now she actually treats them as fools?

The waiter smiled enigmatically and said: "It would be better if we show some demonstrations to the guests."

"In that case, then lead the way!" Qingyuan waved his hand and said.

On the way to Xueyueyuan, Qingyuan suddenly asked the waiter at the inn: "I just saw that you are good at arithmetic. Are there any scholars at home?"

Since this person works as a waiter in an inn, there must be a scholar in her family.

"The guests were joking. My family was killed by the former bully landlords and wealthy businessmen in our county during the previous drought. Now I am the only one left alive in the family!" the waiter said with a little sadness and anger.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought up your sadness." Qingyuan smiled and said.

"I heard that landowners and wealthy businessmen in your Taiping County have been harming the people before. Later, your county magistrate cooperated with the Tang governor from Beijing to bring them to justice?" Zhou Guan'er mentioned.

"Yes, yes, our magistrate is a great official. She is a great benefactor to our entire Taiping County!" When they heard that they mentioned the magistrate, the waiter's face lit up with joy!

Seeing that the waiter's expression didn't look fake, Zhou Wan'er opened the folding fan in his hand, covered his mouth and smiled.

They have to wait until they have a good meeting with the magistrate of Taiping County to know whether he is a good official.

Soon, the waiter took them to Xueyueyuan and showed them how to use the water in the bathroom.

"The bamboo pole here is painted with red. If you twist it and pull it out, hot water will come out. The other side is painted with blue. If you unscrew it, cold water will come out. Then for the toilet, press this place. It will wash away all the filth..."

The waiter showed them one by one how to use the things in the bathroom, because in Taiping County, last month, the entire county's water supply was replaced by this method. It was a method proposed by the county magistrate. This method uses water Convenient and easy to use!

If you don’t have a well at home, you no longer need to carry a bucket to a distant place to fetch water.

"..."

Qingyuan and others stared blankly at the waiter's demonstration. This...if the other party hadn't come with them, they really wouldn't know how to use this water!

After the waiter finished the demonstration, he left without disturbing the rest of the group.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, the guards were asked to go out and guard. Qingyuan and others were talking in the room.

"Your Majesty, there is something very weird in Taiping County!" Liu Haoli and others immediately said to the empress of Daqing as soon as they left.

"Do you still need to say this? Sister Liu thinks our Majesty can't see you?" Zhou Wan'er shook the folding fan in his hand and glanced at her.

"You!!!" Liu Haoli looked angry and pointed at her.

"Okay, the noise gave me a headache. I've been running around all day today and I'm tired. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow!" Qingyuan stroked his forehead and waved to drive people away.
