"Master, you are back. How are Xuanxuan and the others?" Wen Mianmian withdrew her gaze from watching the show and turned her eyes to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master walked over and sat down, while Xiaobai was still there howling and cursing the old man with the map.
"What happened to them? And how did the map appear?"
"It kept making a fuss about wanting to come out, so I let it out. The old man with the map stole Xiaobai's spiritual fruit, so that's why there was a quarrel."
"By the way, Master, how are Xuanxuan and the others? Are they feeling better?"
Wen Mianmian originally wanted to go, but the master insisted that she wait until they got better before going to see them. Knowing that their condition had improved, Wen Mianmian obeyed the Fourth Master's words and stayed here obediently.
"They are doing well. The rashes on their faces are slowly fading. The imperial physician said that the rashes on their faces are not serious, so even if they heal, they won't leave scars. Don't worry."
"They are now able to get up and walk around, and they are in very good spirits."
Wen Mianmian smiled when she heard this, "That's good, that's good."
"Oh, Master, they're almost well. The things they've been using need to be destroyed immediately. Otherwise, it'll be bad if they infect others in the future."
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about these things. Someone will take care of them when the time comes."
"That's good."
——
At the gate of the capital city, a low-key and somewhat shabby carriage slowly drove into the city gate.
A pretty girl, looking a little haggard, lifted the curtain and looked at the lively scene outside the carriage. She couldn't help but exclaim with envy:
"So this is the capital city. It's so lively." Although others say that people living in the capital city are either rich or noble, this statement is indeed not a lie. It feels that compared to Jiangnan, the buildings and people's clothes here are much better.
"Ms. Lin, this capital city is really prosperous and bustling." She was accompanied by a girl of about eleven or twelve years old, who was bought from a human trafficker.
She was Lin Yueran, the woman who had saved the Fourth Master in Jiangnan before. She sold the house given to her by the young master in Jiangnan for several thousand taels of silver, and she used the money to buy herself a little maid.
She felt that she had so much money, and she would go to the capital to marry that young man in the future, so she had to have a little maid to serve her.
So she bought her from a human trafficker for five taels of silver.
Not to mention that she has an extra servant by her side, she doesn't have to do many things herself. She can just call someone and they will bring things to her. It feels really good.
No wonder so many people want to marry into a wealthy and powerful family. Not only can they enjoy high social status, but they also have many servants around them who can be ordered around at will. People who have not experienced this cannot understand it.
"Of course, Xiaohong, we will be Beijing residents from now on. You should be more careful with your words and actions. Don't embarrass me, your daughter."
Lin Yueran took this opportunity to teach her a lesson, otherwise it would be embarrassing if she made a fool of herself.
"Don't worry, girl. I've got it in mind."
When Lin Yueran heard her calling herself "I", she said, "You have to change your name. You are the maid I bought. From now on, you should call yourself a slave. Do you understand? Otherwise, if others hear you, they will say you have no manners."
Xiaohong covered her mouth and immediately changed her words: "Miss, I understand. I'll remember this."
Lin Yueran was finally satisfied.
Then she asked the coachman to find an inn to stay in first, and wait until tomorrow to see how much the house here costs. After all, they would be living here in the future, so they had to buy a house quickly.
Only then can you find out where that young master, the Fourth Prince, lives.
The coachman found a better inn. Xiaohong got off first, and then helped Lin Yueran down from the carriage.
Then Xiaohong gave the driver the money for the journey and some extra tips. The driver took the money and happily drove away in the carriage.
Lin Yueran then walked into the inn with Xiaohong.
When they arrived at the counter, they asked the waiter to get them a room upstairs.
On the way to the capital, Lin Yueran wanted to eat the best food and live in the best accommodation. After all, the thing she had the most was money.
Of course, the journey to the capital was so long that Lin Yueran traveled with the escort and paid some protection money, otherwise she would not have been able to arrive in the capital safely.
I'm afraid they were all robbed along the way.
"Ten taels of silver for one night in the upper room."
Lin Yueran paused as she was about to pay, then looked up at him in astonishment: "What did you say, ten taels of silver?"
"Why is it so expensive?"
The best rooms they stayed in along the way only cost one or two taels of silver, but here they asked for ten taels. Lin Yueran looked at the waiter with a probing look. Could it be that the waiter asked for such a high price because they were women?
"This is still expensive. Our inn is already cheap. If you think it's too expensive, you can choose a regular room. It's five taels of silver per night."
Then the waiter muttered, "Ten taels is too expensive! If you don't have money, don't be so picky."
When Xiaohong heard what the waiter said, she immediately became angry and said, "Hey, how can you talk like that? Ask me what's wrong. Don't you allow people to ask the price when staying in this hotel?"
Lin Yueran quickly grabbed Xiaohong to prevent her from saying anything unpleasant.
When the waiter heard her say that, he sneered and said, "It seems like you can't afford to live here like this."
"What are you talking about?" Xiaohong was so angry when she heard this that she wanted to go up and hit someone.
Although Lin Yueran's face was not looking good, this was the capital and they had just arrived, so it was better not to cause any trouble, otherwise no one here would help her.
"She walked forward with a smile. Sorry, that's how she talks. Don't bother with her. We'll just stay in a regular room."
After all, she was only staying for one day, and ten taels of silver was still a bit expensive for her. She hadn't expected that even staying in an inn in the capital was so expensive.
"Why didn't you just say it earlier? You don't have money and yet you want to live in the best place like others." The waiter asked them to pay first, then walked out from the counter and called someone to take them to the guest rooms on the second floor.
The two came to the guest room and looked at the small room with only a table and a bed. There was also a strange smell when they smelled carefully. Lin Yueran and Xiaohong's faces did not look very good.
"Girl, I think he did it on purpose. I'll go find him." Xiaohong said and wanted to go downstairs to find the waiter.
The places they lived in before for one tael of silver were better than this one. They spent five taels of silver, and in the end they had to live in such a horrible place. The waiter did it on purpose.
Lin Yueran quickly pulled the man back and said, "Forget it, it's just for one night. We'll go find a human trafficker to buy a house tomorrow."
