Chapter 348 Hot Spring Inn
Wen Wan: “…”
This sarcastic tone is truly better than the original.
She smiled awkwardly, shook his arm, raised her face and kissed him on the cheek.
"Oh, isn't it your fault for being so close to He Miao and giving me the cold shoulder?"
"I'm just jealous. Besides, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary with those boys. We didn't even hold hands."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, "Little brother?"
His tone darkened. "From your tone, you sound quite regretful for not holding hands with her?"
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and fell silent.
No matter what she said, he would find fault with it. What else could she say?
Seeing her silent expression, Shen Yu sneered again.
For the rest of the journey, he had a cold face and didn't say a word.
Wen Wan secretly glanced at him several times, but he was wearing a mask and her emotions could not be seen. She was unhappy and did not dare to speak.
*
The carriage stopped in a small town.
This small town is located halfway up the mountain. Even if it is hot at the foot of the mountain, there is still a cool breeze on the mountain.
The town has only one street, half of which is occupied by inns, and the other half is occupied by shops selling various mountain products.
Shen Yu took Wen Wan into the largest inn in town.
When the shopkeeper saw Shen Yu, he immediately came forward to greet him.
"Sir, what brings you here? If I had known you were coming, I would have had a table of game prepared in advance. A hunter even killed a spore in the mountains yesterday."
Shen Yu waved his hand, "No need, clean up the hot spring pool in the backyard."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes fell on Wen Wan who was following behind, and he immediately showed an expression of understanding.
"Okay, I'll go and explain it right away."
Shen Yu walked through the halls and alleys as if he was familiar with the place, and came to the last independent courtyard behind the inn.
This inn is also very wealthy and is decorated quite luxuriously. When Wen Wan passed by, she saw that each independent courtyard had a separate hot spring pool.
A luxurious hot spring hotel in ancient times?
I have to say that in this era, anyone who can come up with this way to make money is truly a business talent.
She piqued her interest and followed eagerly, "Who came up with this idea? How clever! Using natural hot springs to attract customers? This should be the only place like this in Duanchao, right?"
Shen Yu paused and looked back at her with a scrutinizing look.
Wen Wan opened her eyes wide, confused, and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Is there something wrong with her question?
Shen Yu shook his head and sighed, "You forgot, this was your idea."
"Ah?" Wen Wan really couldn't remember ever mentioning doing hot spring inn business.
Shen Yu glanced at her and reminded her: "When you first arrived in Border Town, you drank too much and clamored to stay in an inn and take a hot spring bath in the inn."
He paused, then continued, "You also said that an inn with hot springs would be even more perfect if it were located in the mountains. In the summer, you can soak in it to get rid of dampness and wind. In the winter, if it snows heavily, soaking in the hot springs amidst the dancing snowflakes is an even more wonderful experience."
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "That sounds like something I would say."
She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
"So, you opened this inn?"
Chen Yu didn't deny it, but said calmly: "It should have been opened a long time ago, but hot springs in the mountains are not easy to find. I searched for three years before I found a place with a suitable location and spring water. This inn has not been open for long, only three months."
Searched for three years?
Wen Wan keenly caught this information and her heart skipped a beat.
Three years ago, she was still in the border town.
At that time, she was an orphan with no one to rely on, and in her eyes, he was not a great general, but just a young general on the border.
So at that time, he had already started looking for a suitable address?
"Come in."
While the two were talking, Shen Yu opened the courtyard door and led her straight in.
After Wen Wan entered, she discovered that there were actually quite a few osmanthus trees planted in the yard. The osmanthus trees had lush branches and leaves. It was not difficult to predict what a beautiful sight the yard would be like when the osmanthus flowers bloomed in a few months.
Every detail of this courtyard is built in accordance with her aesthetic taste, and it is hard for Wen Wan to say that she doesn't like it.
Shen Yu stood on the steps with his arms folded across his chest, watching her touch and look around in the yard.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought people to clean up the hot spring and thoughtfully brought clothes for soaking in the hot spring.
Wen Wan was standing beside the osmanthus tree watching the ants moving. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the shopkeeper secretly putting something inside the clothes.
The shopkeeper also made a gesture to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu was rarely a little flustered. In front of Wen Wan, he didn't dare to say a word. He just waved his hands irritably and drove the shopkeeper out of the yard.
Wen Wan pretended not to notice the eye contact between them. After everyone left, she waved to Shen Yu.
"Little Yuzi, what are you still standing there for? Come and serve me. I have money and I will let you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
Shen Yu pursed his lips, "Little Yuzi?"
Wen Wan chuckled, "Aren't you going to be jealous of the young prostitute? This is a good opportunity to give you a chance to prove that you can win my sister's heart better than the young prostitute."
Shen Yu: “…”
What's wrong with him that he would fall in love with a woman who is as thick-skinned as a city wall?
Wen Wan was in a good mood, so she thought about teasing him on purpose.
She stood up, walked to the edge of the hot spring pool, and began to take off her outer robe.
Shen Yu's pupils shrank, and his gaze became sharper.
Wen Wan was completely unaware and slowly untied the laces, watching the silk dress slowly slip off, revealing her round shoulders.
Under the bright sunshine, her skin was delicate and fair, with a light layer of fluff wrapped around her shoulders, each strand of hair seemed to be emitting brilliant light, so dazzling that it made people's hearts flutter.
Which hot-blooded man can resist such temptation?
Shen Yu curled up the fingers hanging at his side, and finally sighed in compromise.
"Ancestor! You are truly the calamity of my life!"
He strode up behind her, bent down to pick up the outer robe on the ground, and wrapped it around her again before Wen Wan could react.
"It's broad daylight. What if someone breaks in and sees us?"
Shen Yu pushed her into the house and said, "Go in and change your clothes before coming out. Be obedient."
Wen Wan blinked and glared at him with some resentment.
She coughed twice in embarrassment. "No, is there something wrong with you? At a time like this, you're actually concerned about whether someone will break in?"
Wen Wan remembered the things that the shopkeeper had secretly stuffed into her clothes.
She walked quickly to the clothes rack and pulled out a small porcelain bottle from under his change of clothes.
The thumb-sized porcelain bottle was opened, revealing small pills.
Wen Wan suddenly understood. She looked at Chen Yu with heartache and gritted her teeth.
"I see!"
Shen Yu was also a little embarrassed when he saw the small porcelain bottle, but he was still confused and asked patiently: "What do you understand?"
Wen Wan patted his shoulder with deep sorrow.
"It's been a while since we last met. I never thought that a tall and strong man like you could be so weak that you need drugs to regain your virility..."
"No wonder you slept so well last night..."
"Don't worry, I won't despise you. If there is any problem, we can solve it together..."
Before she could finish her words, Shen Yu covered her mouth.
