Qin Ying smiled, "I wonder if Mr. Xu has heard that the Protector's Lady is going to hold a poetry party in the newly built garden next month, and she has asked me to invite some talented women for her." Mr.
Xu frowned. Picking it up, "I see."
"It's just that Miss Gu is just a woman from a common family. Her status is too low, so I'm afraid she's not suitable."
Qin Ying said calmly: "Mrs. Protector has long said that as long as you are talented or... Anyone with good looks can enter the garden regardless of their status. Since this Miss Gu can be praised by Mr. Su, she must be outstanding. I would like to ask Mr. Xu to tell her. "
When it comes to this matter, Mr. Xu can't say anything else. "Then Miss Gu owns an inn, not far to the east on this street."
Qin Ying greeted him, "Thank you, sir."
After saying that, he walked out.
A maid standing in the corner quickly followed.
Mr. Xu looked at her back and curled his lips slightly. Who didn't know? He heard that the mountain chief admired Su Chen very much and intended to betroth his granddaughter to him.
Of course, this is a rumor, but looking at Miss Qin's behavior, this rumor is probably 70-80% accurate.
Qin Ying left the bookstore, did not get in the car, and walked slowly eastward.
She paid attention to the shop signs on both sides of the street. It didn't take long before she saw a shop with a large front door. There was a black and gold sign hanging above the door, "There is an inn."
Qin Ying walked closer, slowed down, turned and looked into the inn.
I saw that the furnishings of the inn were novel and exquisite. It was different from the inns I had seen before. There was even a rockery pool in the hotel hall.
Looking again, I saw a girl sitting at the counter.
Only half of her face was visible, her skin was as white as snow, her flesh and bones were shiny, and she had black hair and crow's hair. The girl was doing embroidery with her head down.
At this time, someone came over to talk to her. The girl raised her head and saw a pair of clear autumn eyes shining brightly under her willow eyebrows.
Qin Ying couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what a beauty.
She hesitated, paused at the door for a few seconds, and then went straight forward.
Lanzhi was sitting at the counter, talking to Lian'er, "Where did Xiao Fei go? This girl's hands are injured and she's restless."
Soon it was noon, and there were more and more guests eating in the inn.
Gu Fei injured her hand today and didn't go to the kitchen to help. She sent Lian'er to keep an eye on the food in the back, fearing that someone would put something into the dishes.
When Butler Wu said that, she was always a little anxious in her heart. She didn't know what means he planned to use to deal with her.
Business in the store was particularly good today, and the lobby was full.
A wave of customers left the store, and then another wave came. It was bustling when five or six government servants came in and took a look at the store. One of them shouted loudly: "Who is the shopkeeper in the store?"
Gu Fei was busy. Coming out of the counter, "The young lady is the shopkeeper. I don't know what the orders are from the bosses."
One of the yamen servants had a mole next to his nose, which looked like the leader of several people. This man waved the sign in his hand at Gu Fei , "We are from the government office. Someone reported that your shop is harboring criminals from the imperial court. We are going to search now."
Gu Fei was startled, quickly apologized, and secretly handed over an ingot of ten taels of silver to this person, "How many of you? Brother Cha, it's nothing. The store has checked the directions and registered carefully for all guests staying in the hotel. Brother Cha can look at the registration book."
The man waved his hand and did not accept the money. He sneered, "The book is waiting. I'll look at it later, search it first!"
He waved his hand, and the officials who followed him shouted at the guests who were still eating, "The government is on business, please stay away!"
