Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 201: Turn to Xibao City (7)
He raised his head and looked at the painting again, "What is Boss Yue Fan going to do with this painting?"
When Yue Fan heard her call her that, he thought that Yue Ke's words really made her feel a little uncomfortable. It could be seen that she cared a little about this painting, "If the spirit girl wants it, this painting can be taken away by the spirit girl."
"What to do with the money?"
Yue Fan said: "Didn't I just say that these belong to the villa and the spiritual girl."
Yue Qing was in a bad mood, nodded and said nothing.
Yue Ke saw that her expression was not good, so he stepped forward and said: "The hospital master is angry. What I said just now is a bit harsh. In fact, it is just an analogy. The hospital master is a saint, so naturally he cannot be compared with ordinary people. No There is no comparison. Master, don’t let my bastard words ruin your mood, Yue Ke can’t bear the responsibility.”
Yue Qing glanced at him: "Don't worry, I'm not angry. I'm just a little tired. We've been out for a long time. How about we go find Mo Xue and the others first. Is there a place to rest in the teahouse? I I don’t want to go back to the other hospital yet, let’s rest for a while and continue walking around in the afternoon.”
"Yes, but I'm afraid I might have wronged the hospital master here."
Yue Qing frowned, with some anger in her voice, "What's there to be aggrieved about? I live well in the annex outside the forbidden area, so it can't be worse than there. I'm not as delicate as you think."
Yue Ke stopped talking. When Yue Fan saw this, he said, "There is an inn a little further on, which is also run by me. The spirit girl can rest there. I will find someone to clean it up."
"Okay, you can figure it out."
Yue Qing looked at the things in the room and lost interest. She seemed to want to see the parrot just now.
"By the way, Liu San just said that someone came to serve as a pair of parrots. They are very beautiful. When I return to the other courtyard, he will bring them to me to see and then return them."
"Yes." Yue Fan saluted.
Mo Xue and Qi Jiao waited in the teahouse for a long time and finally saw a few people coming out of the pawn shop. They were full of interest when they went in, but they were not interested when they came out. The two of them glanced at each other and saw that several people were walking in the direction of the teahouse, so they turned around and went down to meet them.
"What's wrong with Miss Huang? She looks unhappy. Is she not shopping?" Qi Jiao said as soon as he saw Yue Qing.
Yue Qing held the painting and did not answer him. She looked at the guests sitting around in the teahouse. It seemed that this was not a convenient place to talk. She sighed and asked, "Is that inn far from here?"
Yue Ke quickly said: "I'm afraid we have to walk a while."
"I don't want to leave."
Mo Xue frowned and looked at the two of them. There was a hint of anger in the tone of the courtyard master's words. Is it towards Yue Ke? What just happened? He glanced at Yue Ke with a questioning look in his eyes.
Yue Ke was helpless and didn't know what to say to him.
Mo Xue said, "Miss Huang, come with me."
Yue Qing followed him into the teahouse. Mo Xue called the teahouse owner away and explained. The boss nodded and led them to the back hall, passed through a courtyard, and stopped at the back door.
"My lord, if you need me to send someone to escort you."
"No, you can go back. The city has its own arrangements."
"Yes." He said and opened the door for them. Outside the door was another street, and a carriage was waiting in front of the door. Some city guards were guarding the car. The leader at the Long Street Archway was standing in front of the door. When he saw them coming out, he quickly saluted.
"My lord, the carriage is ready."
Cai'er helped Yue Qing get into the carriage.
There was no words all the way, and the carriage stopped after driving for a while. Yueqing got out of the carriage and looked up at the buildings in front of her. There were buildings the same size as the pawn shop and tea house everywhere. The back door was already open in front of her. It is a four-story attic. The lower two floors are relatively square, and the upper two floors are angular. You can hear various voices nearby from the back door, and Yue Qing can already imagine that it must be a more prosperous scene when you go to the front door.
Yue Fan and two other people stood in front of the open door. Yue Fan stood on one side and the other two people stood on the other side. They looked like the owners of the store.
"I don't know what kind of store this is." Yue Qing said to herself.
The one who was standing in front of the two people lowered his head and replied: "Go back to the hotel, Miss." His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and he straightened up after replying. "The store has made arrangements. Miss can go directly through the store to the inn opposite to rest."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Okay, I'm a little hungry too, so prepare some of the most commonly ordered dishes here for me."
"Yes, get ready now."
"Oh, by the way, I have a strong taste, so don't make it too talkative."
"yes."
Yue Qing stepped into the door. That man and Yue Fan were leading the way. As expected, there were no people where they passed, but there were some waiters guarding the entrances of the stairs.
There was a lot of noise upstairs, as if someone was giving orders.
Yue Qing listened to this voice, "What should I do if the guest is drunk?"
The boss led the way and said, "The store will send the customer to his place of residence."
"What about the money?"
"This is easy to handle. If the guest owes a penny, he can't even think of leaving Xibao City."
The boss stopped in front of the hotel's main entrance. Yue Qing and others walked out into the long street. People were coming and going on the street. They didn't care who the few people who came out of the store were. Yue Fan led everyone into the opposite restaurant. A more impressive loft, also with four floors, but covering a wider area than the hotel, has a similar style. The lower two floors are squarer, and the upper two floors have eaves.
Yue Fan led everyone up the wide and somewhat wasteful stairs to the second floor and entered a guest room on the east side.
The rooms are large and ensuite. People live inside and guests are entertained outside. Qi Jiao and others also arranged for several rooms immediately outside the guest room.
Yue Qing looked at the empty floor, "Are there no guests here?"
"No outsiders can be allowed in the place where the spirit girl lives. The guests have been arranged to live elsewhere."
"Will it cause trouble to others?"
"Don't worry, spirit girl, I will take care of it."
"good."
"Spirit Girl, rest assured. We are the only ones around. The food will be delivered to the room later."
"um. Thank you."
"It's Yue Fan's business." After saying that, he left.
Everyone was sitting in the living room. Mo Xue looked at Yue Ke with a straight face: "Tell me, what's going on? It wasn't a good time when I went there."
Yue Ke said: "I said something I shouldn't have said, which made the master of the courtyard angry."
Yue Qing said: "It's okay, I'm not angry."
"What did you say?" Mo Xue continued to ask.
Yue Ke sighed and asked Yue Qing about the price of the painting. Then San Yuxiao explained to her, and then told her about the comparison.
Mo Xue frowned, looked at Yue Qing and said: "Master, there is no need to be upset by these words. They are just a few objects, far less important than the master. Deacon Ke's words are indeed a bit excessive. Although things in the altar should not be taken at will. Come out and smash it."
Yue Qing saw everyone looking at her: "I'm really not angry, I just think of my home."
Cai'er said: "Missing home, what does this have to do with being homesick?"
Yue Qing smiled: "Don't you know Cai'er? My family lives in the countryside over there. My father, my mother, and our two sisters have been living there. It's not like here where you can stretch out your hand with clothes and open your mouth with food. Yes. You need to work hard on your own. Xiao Lingwei said today that ten thousand taels of silver can allow ordinary people to live and drink for more than two hundred years. It is enough for several generations. I was a little surprised.
Then Deacon Ke said that the broken things were worth more than the painting. I suddenly felt guilty and felt sorry for my father's hard work in teaching and raising me. It's okay, I just sighed to myself and rested for a while. "
Mo Xue said: "No matter what your life is like there, here the Chang family is the center of the villa. The spirit girl is related to the inheritance of the villa, and you are not the only one who spends money.
In fact, Master, your expenses are already very small. Your food and clothing expenses are not even comparable to those of ordinary Chang women. Except for the necessary spirit stone necklace, you don't have any particularly expensive jewelry. What you wear on weekdays is not as good as Cai'er's Zhu Wei, and your meals are mainly frugal. In the villa, the most expensive spiritual girl is the master of Wutong courtyard. The value of that painting can only last her a week, not counting the clothes. "
Yue Qing was shocked again: "Master Wutong spends ten thousand taels of silver a week?"
Yue Ke said: "It's true. The master of Wutong Court is the most particular about refinement. She even chooses the best place to live. Originally, she wanted the master's Qingyue Pavilion, which was the original Hongyu Pavilion. Unfortunately, Because the spirit girl’s ability ranking did not go as expected.”
"She wants to live in Hongyu Pavilion? Why not give it to her. I don't pick a place. Isn't it just because of this that you can't get along with me?"
