Zhang Shixun, a music major graduate, transmigrated to the Great Song Dynasty. Relying on his golden finger and superb talent, he rose rapidly in the capital. Gao Yan Nei became his follower; Li Sh...
Follow Gao Yanei inside, there are two doors inside.
The second door had no door panel, but was hung with a white curtain. When I lifted the curtain and walked in, a hot and humid breath hit me in the face, with a faint scent of soapberries.
A servant came up to greet him with a smile. This smile was very familiar and could often be seen in hotels and inns in later generations. It was a professional smile, without any emotion, just a smile, and it looked very warm and bright.
"Yanei, it's you. Where have you been? It's been a while. Please come in!" A servant bowed to Gao Yanei and said politely, "I was just talking about you yesterday."
"Hmm!" Gao Yanei didn't even look at him. He casually took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to him, saying casually, "I want a double room and a pot of good tea."
"Okay! Please follow me." The servant was very tactful. He took the clothes from Cheng Ju's hand, bent over and led the way.
"Yanei, it seems that you are a frequent visitor here." Zhang Shixun looked around the bathroom.
"Brother, you're right. I come here every now and then and spend most of the day soaking in it."
"Yeah! This is indeed a great place to spend time. Taking a bath, drinking a cup of tea, and then having a comfortable sleep is truly a pleasure."
In later generations of Bianliang, some people liked this, especially the elderly people in Bianliang. They would go into the bathhouse and soak for a while. After their bodies were soaked, they would come out and make a pot of tea or wine to drink slowly, then fall asleep. After waking up, they would go back to soak in the pool for a while. In this way, a whole day would pass.
"Brother is absolutely right. Taking a bath is very enjoyable. My father also likes to go to the bathhouse."
The servant brought the two of them into a room and lifted the curtain: "Young Master, are you satisfied with this room?"
Gao Yanei peeked inside and asked, "Are the sheets new?"
"Replying to the yamen, the sheets have been changed. They were all dried in the sun the day before. If you don't believe me, smell it, you can still smell the sun."
"Hmm!" Gao Yanei turned around and asked Zhang Shixun, "Brother, do you think this is okay?"
Zhang Shixun took a closer look. Two beds were placed on either side of the room, with two small cabinets in the middle. Teapots and teacups were placed on top. They looked quite clean. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good! Let's go here." He then asked the servant, "We both have money on us. Is there a place to store it?"
"Sir, you can store your things on the cabinet or here." The servant smiled and opened the bedside cabinet for Zhang Shixun to see.
Zhang Shixun took a closer look and found it quite good. The key point was that there was a lock hanging on it.
He picked up the lock and looked at it, then said with a smile, "Locks are used to protect gentlemen but not villains. If you encounter an expert, he can open it in a few seconds."
The servant laughed when he heard this and said, "Master, what you said makes sense. However, you can rest assured. Thieves can't get in here. All guests who can come here are either wealthy merchants or high-ranking officials with status and position. If a stranger comes here, he won't even be allowed in unless he is accompanied by someone he knows."
"Really?" Zhang Shixun turned his head to look at Gao Yanei, a little unconvinced.
Gao Yanei nodded and smiled, "He's right. Everyone who comes here is a regular customer, and they are all of noble status. Ordinary people, even if they have money, can't get in here. You can rest assured. It's okay to leave your things here. It doesn't matter if you don't lock it. No one will steal it."
"I'd better lock it." Zhang Shixun was worried. The things on him were very important and he had to make sure they were safe.
Gao Yanei waved his hand to let the servant go out, then came over and asked, "What kind of treasure do you have on you that makes you so cautious? Oh my! You're not carrying any treasure on you, are you?"
"You've been following me around these past few days, calling me brother all the time. Aren't you just after the treasure I carry with me?" Zhang Shixun untied his belt, took out a hairpin from it, and waved it at Gao Yanei: "You've seen this one before. I have another one here."
She took out a pair of crystal clear earrings and touched them lightly with her hand. Several points of light flashed in the earrings, again and again... like stars shining in the night sky.
Gao Yanei was petrified instantly, staring at the earrings without blinking.
Zhang Shixun waved the earrings in front of him.
Gao Yanei's eyes moved rapidly along with the earrings, fearing that they would disappear if he blinked.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, what...what is this treasure?"
"Earrings! A pair of earrings." Zhang Shixun replied.
"earring?"
"Yes, it's the earrings."
"But...but why is it flashing?"
"Of course it will shine, because it's called Sky Star."
"The stars in the sky...are like the stars in the sky?" Gao Yanei stared at the stars in the sky and muttered to himself.
"I see greed in your eyes." Zhang Shixun said in a mocking tone.
"Ah! Do I have it?" Gao Yanei rubbed his eyes quickly.
"What do you think?" Zhang Shixun said with a smile.
Gao Yanei smiled awkwardly: "It is a great fortune for me to be able to see such a treasure. How can I be greedy?"
After a pause, he said shyly, "Can I take it over and have a look?"
"No." Zhang Shixun pulled his hand back and put away the earrings.
"Don't... don't put it in! Let me take one more look, just one more look." Gao Yanei begged.
"Once I see it in my eyes, I can't pull it out." Zhang Shixun put the star in the sky into the box.
Gao Yanei licked his dry lips and asked, "How did my brother get such a treasure?"
"You want to know?"
"Of course I want to know."
Zhang Shixun sighed and said, "Several of my brothers died for it... Alas! It's better not to talk about it. It's sad to say it."
"Okay, then let's not talk about sad things." Gao Yanei suppressed his inquiring heart.
"Take a shower, wash yourself quickly so you can go home." "Okay!" Gao Yanei agreed, took off his clothes and threw them on the ground.
"Why did you throw your clothes on the ground? Are you crazy?" Zhang Shixun asked.
"I've got fleas and lice. Take a shower and put on new clothes before going home."
"What a luxury!" Zhang Shixun took out the contents of his clothes and put them in the box, then carefully folded up the clothes he had taken off.
"Why don't you change into the new clothes I bought for you?" Gao Yanei has been paying attention to this side.
"Of course I will change, but I can't compete with a playboy like you in fine clothes. I can just wash them in the pool."
Gao Yanei reached out, snatched his dirty clothes, threw them on the ground, and stepped on them twice.
"What is this for?" Zhang Shixun frowned.
"Don't embarrass yourself, okay? Washing clothes in the pool will make people laugh. Throw them away. I'll give you two sets of clothes later... No! Ten sets of clothes for you, brother."
