Everyone decided to go and immediately started getting ready, planning to set off early tomorrow morning.
Now that the family has money, Zhao Shi also feels more confident, "Since we are going, let's take a good stroll around the city.
We don't have a place to stay in the city, so let's stay in an inn first. I don't think I've ever stayed in an inn in my life, so this is a good opportunity to experience it."
Pei Huan smiled and said, "It's not that we don't have a place to stay. Since Chen'an Mansion is Xiao Lingdang's fiefdom, she can actually requisition it directly.
There is also a former royal palace, where Xiao Lingdang, a princess, can live. However, it has been unoccupied for a long time, so I'm afraid it needs some time to recover.
In this case, it is better to stay in an inn. This time I go to Xiaolingdang and have a look. I can choose a good location to buy a house, or build one myself.
You must have a permanent residence in the capital city. This will be your main residence from now on. You can also live here after you get married."
Xiao Lingling was a little surprised. She didn't expect that being a princess had so many benefits.
Thinking of this, she felt a little excited. Since she could requisition or plan a location to build a house, she would have to consider it carefully.
In fact, there are not many things you really need to prepare. Two sets of clothes for each person are enough, and you can buy anything else you need when you get there.
But because there were so many people going, the clothes alone filled two large bags.
In order to reduce the burden, the little bells were quietly stuffed into the space, so that the bag became much lighter.
This time, Jiang Xinian did not go. The last time he and Lao Qiu made an appointment to go to Xiangshan to worship in Beijing, Lao Qiu asked him to do something.
He could take this opportunity to deal with it so that he wouldn't forget it later.
Therefore, this time only Mrs. Zhao went with her four grandsons, Xiao Lingdang, Qiaomei, Wu Tongtong, Huo Qiuyue, and Sun Yongxuan.
Originally, I planned to take Lin Ping with me, but because I was busy in the fields, the child took the initiative to take care of his younger brother, so I refused because I didn’t have time to go.
Although the people going out this time were women and children, their safety was still guaranteed because of Pei Huan and her guards.
After a simple breakfast in the morning, the group set off directly.
Shuanghe Village is very close to the provincial capital. The wobbly carriage arrived just after noon.
The carriage stopped directly in front of the most famous Yunlai Inn in Chen'an Prefecture, and a waiter immediately came out to greet them.
"Dear guests, please come in. The carriage can be parked in the backyard. Come this way!"
Pei Huan led them inside. The inn was very big, as big as two or three gourmet herbal medicine restaurants, and the decoration was also very luxurious!
Yes, I am rich!
Many of the carved patterns on the pillars are inlaid with gold edges.
Little Bell couldn't help but sigh, wondering if someone was so poor that he would climb up to the beams of the house to steal in the middle of the night.
The shopkeeper was a shrewd man. He knew from the demeanor of these people that they were either rich or noble, and immediately came up to greet them with a smile.
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, please come in. Are you here for a meal or to stay overnight? This is the best inn in Chen'an Prefecture, and the rooms are very spacious. Would you like to go up and take a look?"
Pei Huan glanced at Yuehua, and Yuehua immediately stepped forward.
"Boss, we're going to stay here for a few days. How many of your best rooms do you have?"
As she spoke, Yuehua placed a silver ingot that shone with silver light on the table, and the shopkeeper immediately smiled like a flower.
"Okay, okay, you can stay for a few days. We have four types of rooms: a large bunk bed, a lower-class room, a middle-class room, and a higher-class room.
There are ten superior rooms in total, including four special rooms. These four rooms are usually not open to the public, but the tables, chairs, benches and decorations inside are all top-notch.
Sir, I see you are not an ordinary person. If you are willing, I will open all four rooms immediately!"
Pei Huan nodded imperceptibly, and Yuehua immediately responded, "Okay, then we'll open all four rooms, and four more medium-sized rooms. Here's the room fee, and we'll refund or pay when we leave."
Yuehua didn't ask the price and directly gave a silver note for one hundred taels.
The shopkeeper immediately stuffed it into his arms and took out a bunch of keys from the counter. "Come, come, come, everyone, follow me. I'll show you the room."
The entire inn has four floors in total, with a large dormitory in the backyard. The first floor is the inferior rooms, the second floor is the middle rooms, and the third floor is the superior rooms.
The first-class rooms are on the fourth floor. Although there are only four rooms, each one is a suite, and both the decoration and layout are very grand.
On weekdays, only the superior rooms are usually booked, and only distinguished guests or dignitaries can afford to stay on the fourth floor. After all, this special room costs eight taels of silver per night.
"These four rooms are the first-class rooms. Here are the keys, keep them safe. Our inn provides three meals a day and hot water is always available.
If you need anything, you can call me anytime. We have a waiter guarding the staircase on the fourth floor, so you can call me at any time and prevent others from wandering around and disturbing your peace."
Pei Huan nodded with satisfaction and led his men in first.
Yuehua sent the shopkeeper away with a few words and followed him in.
This first-class room is very large and the bed is wide enough to accommodate three adults.
Pei Huan smiled and said, "How about this? There are only four rooms. I'll sleep in one with Xiao Lingdang, Qiao Mei, and Wu Tongtong at night. Aunt Zhao, you and your two grandchildren will sleep in one, and Qiuyue, you and your two children will also sleep in one. How about that?"
Huo Qiuyue hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, we don't have to live here. We can go find my parents and live in the academy."
Pei Huan shook his head and said, "Forget it. That's a college. It's not right for us to walk around casually. We shouldn't disturb the students.
The environment here is also nice and quiet, and the bed is very big, so it is still spacious for three children to sleep in."
Seeing her insistence, Huo Qiuyue did not refuse and nodded, "Okay, I have no problem, just do as you say."
The others were fine, but Qiaomei was a little frightened. She knew very well that she was just a servant and didn't dare to sleep with them.
But she hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to start. Yuehua noticed her embarrassment and smiled.
"Madam, how about Qiaomei sleeping with me? There's an empty room, so you and the two young ladies can sleep in a more spacious room."
Pei Huan glanced at Qiaomei and understood. "Okay, then I'll listen to you. It doesn't matter where we sleep, the most important thing is that everyone is comfortable.
So, Yuehua, you go and ask someone to make some lunch and send it up. We can eat something and then go out for a walk in the afternoon.
It just so happens that I have a close friend in Chen'an Prefecture. I can go shopping and visit her tomorrow."
