Fourth Prince Xiao Yu suffers from a strange illness. When it acts up, he feels intensely ashamed and his heart becomes extremely humble. Even when his "moonlight" shines on him, he shrinks...
Chapter 110 Checking into a luxurious hotel
This was the first time Xu Chuchu stayed in the VIP room of the "Luxury Hotel" after moving to ancient times.
Previously, she lived in the guest room of the government office in Tailing County. Although the conditions were very good, with a separate living room and bedroom, which was much better than her country cabin, it was nothing compared to the inn she was staying in now.
The elegant and warm decoration style, the exquisite and high-end beddings, and the light wood fragrance floating in the air all reveal a high-end and classy atmosphere.
The service at the inn is also very thoughtful. In addition to the daily hot water delivery, there are also room delivery, laundry service, wake-up service, 24-hour butler service... There is nothing they can't do, except what you can't think of.
Xu Chuchu could only sigh that the wisdom of the ancients was infinite.
Even without modern and convenient high technology, as long as you have money, you can still live a comfortable life.
Such a high-end inn is naturally not cheap, costing five taels of silver for one night.
Of course, this was the money paid by Xiao Yu, and Xu Chuchu didn't feel sorry at all.
Xiao Yu had spent all the small change he had on him before. Since he couldn't get change for large-denomination banknotes in a small place, he went to a money shop to exchange for small change.
All money houses in the Xia Dynasty were controlled by the government and belonged to national chain enterprises. In order to better serve "big customers" like Xiao Yu, they provided humane remote deposit and withdrawal functions.
As long as Xiao Yu showed his seal, he could withdraw the money he deposited in the capital from banks across the country.
That day, Xu Chuchu "accidentally" saw Xiao Yu's "account balance". The number on it almost made her eyes pop out. She was stunned on the spot, unable to understand why a rich young man from Beijing like Xiao Yu was willing to follow her through mountains and rivers.
Is this what rich people do?
Therefore, this mere five taels of silver is no problem at all.
Xu Chuchu took a comfortable shower and changed her clothes, then rested in the room for a while. She had originally wanted to take a nap, but when she heard the lively shouting outside, she couldn't help but want to go out for a walk.
She changed her clothes and came to Xiao Yu's room and knocked on the door.
"Xiao Yu, can I come in?" she shouted inside.
The reply from inside was quick: "Come in."
Xu Chuchu pushed the door open and smelled a fresh floral scent in the room. She blurted out, "Why does your room smell so much better than mine?"
"Uh, does it smell good... I felt that there was a, um, musty smell in the room, so I asked someone to light some incense. If you like it, I'll ask them to send some to you later." When Xiao Yu answered, he was sitting at the desk. He had changed into clean clothes from head to toe, with paper and pen in front of him, and was writing.
"Why didn't you rest for a while? Are you hungry?" he asked quickly. "I have some snacks on the table. Please have some first. I'll go eat with you after I finish writing my reply."
"I'm not hungry." Xu Chuchu didn't notice his slight discomfort, but was attracted by his actions. "Write a reply? Did you receive the letter?"
"Yes, it was sent by Ah Fu." Xiao Yu explained, "I asked him to send the letter to Linchuan County if he has any business. I will be passing through here."
At that time, Xiao Yu followed Xu Chuchu wholeheartedly and left his men to his follower Ah Fu, but he still had some conscience and did not completely ignore the matter.
If he had something to ask Ah Fu, he could just send a letter to the capital, but if Ah Fu wanted to find him, he could only send the letter to a few fixed places and wait for Xiao Yu to check it.
Seeing that Xu Chuchu was still curious, Xiao Yu pushed the letter in her direction.
"Can I see it?" Xu Chuchu took the letter.
Ah Fu's handwriting is not very beautiful, but each stroke is very neat, so it is easy to recognize. There are a total of five or six pages.
Xu Chuchu took a quick look at the letter. It was all about what happened in the court, who did what, what instructions the emperor had issued, etc. She asked Xiao Yu what she should do. She didn't know those people and didn't take it seriously. She just saw a mention in the letter saying that Shao Mingjie and his sister had returned to Beijing.
At the end of the letter, an imperial edict was mentioned.
"Ah?" Xu Chuchu looked sad after reading it. "Did the emperor issue an imperial decree for you to return to the capital? Why didn't you go back and didn't tell me?"
Xiao Yu laughed when he heard this: "It's not a big deal. I've been accustomed to disobeying imperial edicts since I was a child, and the emperor doesn't care about me."
"Is the emperor so gentle?" Xu Chuchu recalled the emperors in TV dramas who were often beheaded or tortured to death, and she was still frightened. "This is not good. Let's go back quickly."
"It's okay. It's always late. It doesn't matter if it's later." Xiao Yu kept writing while speaking. "Wait for me. I'll finish it soon."
"Don't be in a hurry." Xu Chuchu moved a stool and sat beside him to watch him write.
If Ah Fu's handwriting is rigid, then Xiao Yu's is beautiful and graceful. It is not very flowing, but the hidden parts are slightly sharp, and the exposed parts are also implicit. It is a combination of hardness and softness, and very beautiful.
She was close enough to smell the sweet fragrance of the ink and the fresh scent of Xiao Yu's hair after she had just showered. The two blended together, making her feel peaceful and comfortable.
Xiao Yu glanced over and saw Xu Chuchu with two cute braids, sitting at his desk with her head propped up. Her expression and movements revealed curiosity and cuteness, and his heart suddenly started to itch again.
"Come sit on my lap, okay?" he suddenly asked in a low voice.
