Hearing this, Uncle Xu smiled and said, "This is my niece. How could I be so lucky to have such a well-behaved and obedient daughter!"
The officer smiled faintly and said, "I see. However, there's no need to underestimate yourself, brother. I see your son has such an extraordinary bearing, and I'm sure he'll achieve something in the future."
Uncle Xu smiled and bowed, saying, "Then I'll take advantage of your good wishes, sir."
The officer sighed and said, "I've seen many different kinds of people at this city gate, but I've never seen a young man like your son with such a temperament. I'm definitely not wrong when it comes to judging people."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two soldiers finished the interrogation.
"We two have checked carefully and found no suspicious items." One of them said with a fist salute.
The chief officer almost nodded and waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.
The two returned to their previous positions and continued to stand guard.
"In that case, I won't delay you from entering the city," said the officer.
After Uncle Xu expressed his gratitude, Qibao and his companions got on the carriage and headed towards the city.
"Finally we're in, Miss. I didn't expect that we would have to be checked before entering the city. It's really a bit troublesome." Fuqiu said.
"Tianyou City is naturally different from those small county towns. The public security is naturally stricter. This is also for the safety of the people in the city." Qibao said.
Soon after entering the city, all kinds of noisy sounds came to his ears. Uncle Xu slowed down the carriage. There were many pedestrians coming and going, and children were playing and fighting on the street. It would be bad if someone was accidentally hurt.
The streets in the city are wide and flat, with shops lining both sides and the shouts of waiters echoing one after another.
Without asking, Uncle Xu saw the large gold-plated characters "Donglai Inn" from a distance, which were particularly eye-catching.
The carriage stopped at the door of the inn, and the sharp-eyed waiter had already run out.
"Sir, you would like to stay in the hotel. We have clean and superior guest rooms. We guarantee that you will feel as comfortable as at home." The waiter said as he took the reins from Uncle Xu's hands.
Qibao and others also jumped off the carriage one after another.
Uncle Xu said, "Give us four upper rooms."
The waiter immediately replied with a smile: "Okay, sir, please come in. Don't worry, I will take good care of this horse and make sure it is well fed."
"Thank you, little brother," said Uncle Xu.
"Of course, of course. Please come in, gentlemen." The waiter handed the reins of the carriage to the waiter beside him and specifically asked him to take good care of it. After that, he led everyone into the inn.
"Boss, these guests need four upper rooms." The waiter brought Qibao and his group to the counter and said.
The shopkeeper was about fifty years old, but he looked particularly energetic. Upon hearing the shop assistant's words, he put down his brush, looked up at Qibao and the others, was slightly startled, then retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Thank you for taking care of my business. I have rooms available. Just tell the shop assistant if you need anything."
Uncle Xu said, "Shopkeeper, you are so polite. Please arrange our rooms closer together so that we can take care of each other more conveniently."
"Of course, of course." The shopkeeper agreed with a smile.
The shopkeeper took out a bunch of keys and handed them to the waiter. He said, "Please arrange for the four vacant rooms on the easternmost side of the building to be occupied by our distinguished guests."
"Yes, boss." The waiter took the key and said to Qibao and his group, "Dear guests, please follow me."
Everyone followed the waiter to the second floor, walked through the long corridor, and went to the end. The waiter then stopped and turned around and said to Uncle Xu, "Sir, we're here. Are you satisfied?" After that, he took out the key and opened the door.
Everyone followed the waiter into the room, looked around, and was quite satisfied. So Uncle Xu said, "Excuse me, waiter brother, we are very satisfied."
The waiter smiled even more when he heard that. "That's good. There are three more rooms left. Do you need to check them one by one? If there's anything missing, just let me know."
Xu Wenwu said, "No need, just give us the key. I'll come to you if I need anything."
The waiter smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, please keep the key, sir. I won't disturb you guys' rest." After that, he took the key and handed it to Xu Wenwu, then left the room.
Uncle Xu said, "You guys must be tired. Go to your rooms, put your things down, and rest for a while. I'll take you downstairs to find a restaurant to have some hot meals and warm up."
"Uncle, we got it. You have to take us to eat something good. I want to eat roast chicken." Xiaowu said.
"You've chosen one? Look at Qibao, a girl who didn't complain about the hardship or tiredness during the whole journey. You, who vowed to become a general in the future, can't be unable to endure such a little hardship? If that's the case, you'd better go back, otherwise you'll lose face as your uncle in the capital." Uncle Xu said unhappily.
Xiao Wu laughed and said, "Uncle, I just said it casually. This little bit of suffering is nothing. It's mainly because I'm greedy, hehe..."
Uncle Xu scolded him with a smile and said, "Alright, you kid, hurry up and clean up. Wenwu, you take your younger brothers and sisters to arrange their rooms and rest for a while. Meet me at dinner time."
"Okay, Dad." Xu Wenwu nodded in agreement, then took Qibao and Xiaowu out of the room.
The two brothers naturally left the room in the middle to Qibao.
"Sister, if you have any problems, come find me next door." Xu Wenwu instructed.
"Okay, I got it. Big brother, you should go back to your room and rest." Qibao said with a smile.
