Chapter 74 The Most Expensive Inn

Luo Gang is a young master from a wealthy family. His family has no power, but he has money. He brought four strong guards on this trip, and also brought four servants. One of them is a special cook who is responsible for the food along the way.

Wang Yuyan was invited by Luo Gang to drink the hot mutton soup and exclaimed that it was delicious.

"The chef in Mr. Luo's family is really good."

She took a fancy to Luo Gang's cook and thought that if she traveled with Luo Gang all the way, at least the food would not be too bad.

Lin Baozhu, however, disliked the fishy smell of mutton soup, so she poured it out after taking just one sip.

The little girl frowned and complained: "It's really unpalatable, it has a strong fishy smell, and you guys actually praised it as delicious."

After complaining, Wang Yuyan pulled him into the carriage and gave him a lecture.

"Cousin, food is precious on the road. If you don't like it, you can give it to your maid. Next time, don't throw away food in front of others. It's very rude."

Lin Baozhu was furious. When eating at home, she could pour the soup at will and no one ever dared to blame her.

Now that I'm out of the door, everything goes wrong.

"Cousin, you instigated me to leave the capital. Now I am scolded for pouring a bowl of soup."

Wang Yuyan smiled.

The moment she left the capital city, she knew that her cousin Baozhu would complain about her sooner or later.

"Cousin, you are an adult now and should have your own ideas. You can't blame me for leaving the capital. It was you who said you wanted to come with me."

Lin Baozhu had never been able to win an argument with Wang Yuyan, and she felt very aggrieved, so she just lowered her head and cried.

Gu Yun is different from this pair of cousins.

He was a man with a strong sense of self-esteem and was aloof. After drinking a bowl of soup, he felt much warmer.

"Brother Luo, mutton soup is sold outside for ten cents a bowl. I have already recorded it in the account book. You can eat it with me from now on. When we get to Beiyue Pass, I will pay you for it together."

Luo Gang was casual and just said, "It's okay. You can borrow money from me whenever you need it in the future. I won't charge interest."

I'm not afraid that these young masters and young ladies won't pay back the money.

These people are all from wealthy families, unlike his family, which only has money but no power.

Of course, it is okay for these young men and women not to pay back the money.

Gu Yun is a recognized talent in the capital, and he will pass the imperial examination and become an official sooner or later. Now is a good opportunity to curry favor with him while he is close to him.

In addition, Miss Wang Yuyan is also of noble status. She is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Many people want to curry favor with the Prime Minister's Office, but they have no way to do so.

If he could be associated with the powerful Prime Minister's Mansion because of this, he would be extremely lucky.

When the carriage arrived in Liangcheng, the silver that Lin Baozhu brought had long been spent.

At this moment, she was in a state of disarray.

I also got frostbite on my hands, and each one was very ugly.

And because of crying so often, the skin on my face became chapped.

Suddenly she turned from a pretty girl into an ugly monster.

For the little girl who loves beauty, this change is too terrible and she cannot accept it at all.

I just want to buy some good things and restore my skin as soon as possible.

Lin Baozhu found Luo Gang and said, "Mr. Luo, lend me 500 taels. I will return it to you when we return to the capital."

Luo Gang directly gave her one thousand taels, "Miss Lin, spend as you like. It doesn't matter if you don't pay me back in the future."

Lin Baozhu spent the money lavishly, buying a small basket of skin care creams and many kinds of frostbite ointments in Liangcheng.

Unfortunately, after using it, I looked in the mirror the next morning and felt that my skin had not improved at all.

Lin Baozhu started crying again, pinching her dirty, wrinkled clothes, with a look of aggrieved expression on her face.

"Wow, wow, wow - cousin, I've turned into an ugly girl after just a few days of being out. I need to return to Beijing as soon as possible. I need to take good care of my skin."

It was not very convenient for Wang Yuyan, a girl, to travel with two men.

Having Lin Baozhu around can help avoid suspicion.

So she didn't want Lin Baozhu to return to Beijing.

No one knows Lin Baozhu better than Wang Yuyan.

"Cousin Baozhu, I believe you can hold on. You are no worse than Lin Qianqian."

When Lin Qianqian's name was mentioned, Lin Baozhu immediately perked up again.

"My cousin is right. I am no worse than her."

Wang Yuyan hugged Lin Baozhu and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, cousin. You won't be disfigured. Go to the north. The weather is colder there. People there live there for a long time. They must have better moisturizing creams."

These words gave Lin Baozhu hope.

After more than half a month's arduous journey, the four finally arrived at Beiyue City.

After Lin Baozhu entered the city, the first thing she did was to ask to stay in the best inn.

Whenever they encountered something that required them to make a choice along the way, the four of them voted fairly and impartially by raising their hands, and this time was no exception.

The four of them raised their hands to vote on the inn they would stay in. Gu Yun abstained from voting, and the other three all requested to stay in the most expensive inn.

I believe that if Lin Baozhu knew that the inn was opened by Lin Qianqian, she would definitely not be willing to stay there.

When checking in, Gu Yun was shocked.

At this Silver Moon Inn, a room on the upper floor costs twenty taels of silver per night.

It is totally unreasonable that the room prices in this remote northern city are almost as high as those in the capital.

It's really too shady. This inn seems to have more than a hundred guest rooms. So it can earn more than two thousand taels of silver in a day. This speed of making money is really terrifying.

Gu Yun actually didn't have much money, so he wanted to save some.

I was thinking about staying with Luo Gang and the others for a day or two, and then going out to find an affordable inn.

This trip to Beiyue City cost a lot.

But when I thought about the paintings of the painting saint, and then thought about being able to meet Lin Qianqian and call off the engagement, I felt that spending a little more was worth it.

As a result, after moving in, none of the four wanted to move out.

Even in the capital, there is no such a good inn.

A row of strong men stood on the first floor of the inn. They said that the north was unsafe and these people were there to protect the safety of the guests staying in the inn.

The most important thing for people who go out is safety, especially for people like Luo Gang who carry huge amounts of silver bills.

Before Luo Gang left, his family gave him a huge amount of silver bills and asked him to buy a masterpiece of the painting saint no matter what.

The Luo family has no power, no influence, and no status. If they could obtain the works of the Saint of Painting, they would have status.

If that work were given as a gift, I believe it would be easy to curry favor with officials.

So Luo Gang immediately decided on the Silver Moon Inn. Although it was a bit expensive, the presence of so many bodyguards downstairs made him feel at ease.

Gu Yun also likes the Silver Moon Inn very much.

As soon as I entered, I saw free writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone placed by the bed.

The brush is an excellent wolf-hair brush, and the ink is the finest rosin ink, which smells extremely elegant.

Although the inkstone is small, it is very useful.

The paper is floral note paper with the scent of osmanthus, and there are three green bamboos simply painted on it. The most rare thing is that the three green bamboos are painted in one stroke, which is simple and beautiful.

A painting method never seen before.

After Gu Yun entered the room, he did not have time to tidy up anything and started directly copying the green bamboo on paper.

Lin Baozhu also likes the Silver Moon Inn very much.

The beds, wooden basins and other items in the inn were all new and looked extremely clean.

The mirror is very large and can not only reflect the face but also the clothes. It is very suitable for girls who love beauty.

The most thoughtful thing is that there is a small sample of moisturizer on the bedside table, with the words "free trial" written on it.
