Chapter 195: Yushi Suite
The setting sun was hanging low.
When we arrived at Feitian Pavilion, we saw a red sunset on the roof.
There was a sculpture of an eagle on the roof, and it looked lifelike as if it wanted to spread its wings and fly high.
We haven't seen the Yushi Suite yet, but the view of the sunset is extremely beautiful.
"This building didn't exist before, did it?"
"Yes, it was newly built. Your Excellency came at a good time today. If it was the time when foreign merchants came to purchase goods, this suite would probably be reserved."
He Yushi just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
How could a house that costs a thousand taels a night be easily booked? It's probably just a gimmick.
If he, Yushi, came here according to his salary, he couldn't actually afford to live here.
There were many memorials from the court to the Sima of Jiang, saying that he was willful, that he used his birthday gift money to accept gifts, that he was greedy, that he was of low character, and all kinds of insults. It was strange that the civil officials did not say that he was derelict in his duty, nor that he usurped power, nor that he did his job poorly.
These memorials were personal attacks, with great hatred, but no level.
The street in front of the Feitian Pavilion was very wide, and there were no stalls, but there were many children playing on the street.
Looking at the children running around and making a fuss, the book boy could not help asking: "What if someone rides a carriage or a horse?"
Wu Laosan smiled and pointed to a sign on the side of the road.
"There is a red cross and a picture of a horse on it, which means the speed limit. This section of road has a speed limit. No matter if you drive a car or horse, you must drive slowly here. If you drive too fast, you will be fined. So children on the roadside can play safely."
They walked slowly over here, and sure enough, when they saw a carriage approaching, they slowed down.
"I heard that this suite is the property of your Lord Sima?" He Yushi asked.
This room alone costs 1,000 taels of silver, not to mention other things. Lord Sima is really greedy.
Wu Laosan shook his head: "This is the property of Lord Sima's youngest daughter. Lord Sima loves his daughter very much, and these are all his daughter's."
He Yushi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Please, sir." Wu Laosan led so many people, and he still had a keen eye.
The old man in front of him looked like an official, extremely fierce, and he was obviously not an ordinary person.
The clothing and appearance can be changed, but the temperament is difficult to change.
Wu Laosan did not neglect the old man at all because of his ordinary clothes.
There were many examples in their on-the-job training classes. They were rewarded and given wealth and beautiful women for helping the old man and putting on boots for him.
When you enter the door, there is a row of chairs covered with thick cloth. When you sit down, your buttocks will sink. When it sinks, you will feel something soft against your lower back, and your whole body will lean on it, and your legs will relax.
Then someone brought a piece of steaming cotton cloth.
"Sir, please wash your hands."
This clean and white cotton cloth is actually used to wipe hands.
He picked it up and smelled it. There was a light fragrance, which was better than the smell of his wife's incense. It was like the smell of green grass in spring, very fresh.
After wiping his hands, someone brought steaming hot tea and snacks.
They didn't ask anything and didn't ask for money, but let the guests eat and drink first?
The entrance was a very large hall, very high, but not empty.
In addition to the soft chairs here, there were rockery and rivers not far away. In this room, you can listen to the sound of the spring while drinking tea.
And sitting in this position, you can also see the sunset.
It's like a painting.
Not to mention how much the Yushi Suite cost, the moment you entered the door and took a rest, you could feel that it was expensive for a reason.
He Yushi was well-informed and had been in and out of the imperial palace in Beijing many times. He was also a descendant of an aristocratic family, but he still thought that this scene was really beautiful.
Sitting on the couch, watching the sunset, listening to the sound of the spring, he even thought that it was a good thing that the emperor had not seen this scene. If the emperor had seen it, he would definitely have to build a similar one.
This hall has many mysteries. There are many candles inside, and it is very bright inside.
The candles seem to be free, and they all have beautiful lantern shells. Looking up, it seems as if you can see a starry sky.
It seems like a very gorgeous hall, the only difference is that outsiders can enter here.
When he was sitting here drinking tea and resting, people came in and out around him. Every time someone came, a waiter would gently call out, welcoming them home.
He sat here eating and drinking.
The tea he drank was excellent, without any spices, but with a natural tea aroma, slightly bitter, but after drinking it, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, and a sweet taste emerged in his throat.
The snacks were also very exquisite.
It felt like he could eat one or two silver coins in one bite.
He was just taking a break, but he was treated like this, which made him feel embarrassed to run away and couldn't stop talking.
Then a waiter came over, and it was actually a woman. She half-knelt in front of him, holding a pen and paper, and said that she wanted to register his check-in information.
The waiter could read and was a beautiful girl, looking like a noble lady from the capital.
But she was doing a job that was in the spotlight.
People around him were used to it, and He Yushi almost couldn't help asking, but what was the grievance.
Fortunately, he held back, as there was a long way to go.
He gave a fake name, Su Lin, a merchant from the capital.
Even the servant had to register his name. The servant did not give a false name. His name was Jizi.
After registration, the two people's ID cards were checked.
He Yushi saw the woman looking at Su Lin's ID card several times, but she didn't say much.
And she politely asked about their needs: "Sir, do you have any additional requirements? Do you like cool or warm? Do you have any requirements for the mattress? Do you like to sleep on a soft or hard surface? Do you prefer sweet or salty food? Or if you have any additional requirements, such as meeting guests or inviting anyone, you can tell us. After you check in, you will have your own butler. You can ring the bell to call him if you need anything, and he will appear immediately."
He Yushi did not tell her his preferences, but was a little surprised by what the woman said, as if a place to stay overnight could actually do everything.
He only booked for one night and left two thousand taels, saying it was a deposit.
The book boy took out the banknote with a distressed look.
He just thought it was ridiculous.
How could you spend so much on accommodation.
Sleeping on a bed made of gold?
After the two paid the money, Wu Laosan was about to go back. He Yushi wanted to give him a reward, but he refused it again and again.
He Yushi thought that since he had brought in such a large order, there must be a cut.
Wu Laosan said that he had a salary and they were all people in the court, so he didn't need a reward. If the adults could help give a good review when they met the superiors, just a compliment would be enough.
He Yushi found it a little funny.
Wu Laosan looked like a gangster who changed his career, and he actually asked for a good review.
Well, this man was quite interesting along the way. They were waiting for him to cheat them, but he didn't. The servant muttered, "It must be a cheat. If not, can you introduce this house that costs one thousand taels a night?"
The butler was a man who looked like a scholar, wearing a crescent-shaped white robe and was very refined.
He was eloquent and spoke very well.
The butler led the way and introduced them.
First, they passed a long corridor and then arrived at the gate of a courtyard.
It was written on the door: "Sushi Suite".
The butler took out the key to open the door and pushed it open. The servant looked at the ground and found that it was covered with cloth. It was soft when he stepped on it.
The theme was luxury and waste.
After walking on the red cloth and going up a few stairs, we arrived at the house. There was another door lock. When we opened it, it was very clean inside with a light fragrance. As soon as we entered the room, our noses seemed to cool down and our minds became clearer.
It was dusk and the weather was a bit hot.
Just now, the servant said casually that our masters were afraid of heat.
When the housekeeper entered the room, there was a pole on the side of the door. The housekeeper lifted the pole and suddenly heard the sound of rain. I don't know where the cool breeze came from, and the robe that was sticking to my body was blown away.
I looked up and saw that it was raining outside the window?
It wasn't raining, but there was a rain curtain outside their house, but there was no rain curtain in the distance.
Then the rain curtain fell, and the water drops fell on the stone steps at the door, and together they made a deep and shallow rustling sound.
I don't know how it was done, there was an automatic wooden piece in the corner, it turned around, and a cool breeze blew in the house.
It was very comfortable.
This house of one thousand taels was not as big as imagined.
It looked like an ordinary house. There was a foyer at the entrance with a screen.
There were couplets hanging on both sides of the foyer.
The upper couplet: Frugal to maintain integrity, pure as the autumn moon without any stain.
The lower couplet: Strict in self-discipline, pure to the point that the plum blossom has its own fragrance.
