Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

Chapter 84 Meeting a noble person on the road

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "Uncle Ma, you can't drink this raw water. You will have diarrhea if you drink it."

Uncle Ma smiled and said, "It's okay. I run out all year round and am used to it."

After filling up the water, we continued moving forward.

Because they were delayed for half an hour on the road, it was already dark before their group arrived at the small town.

Every house in the town was closed, and only one inn had its lights on.

Everyone drove over, and there were several young men standing at the door of the yard.

Several people looked at their motorcade, "Are you staying in a hotel?"

Gu Zhang nodded hurriedly, "Is there any room left in the hotel?"

Several people got out of the way, "Come in, there's still room."

Everyone drove the mule cart in and saw several carriages parked in the yard, and there were many horses in the stables.

There were two empty carriages, and their loads must have been unloaded.

There are also two carriages, a green oil carriage and a Babao Yingluo carriage.

Gu Fei often sees cars like this in Hou Mansion.

However, at this moment, all the pearls and jade decorations that should have been on the Yingluo carriage were gone, and only the carriage curtain made of brocade was glowing faintly at night.

There are noble people in this inn.

Gu Fei and Lanzhi exchanged a look, and both of them understood that the status of a person who could ride in such a car was extraordinary.

The Babao Yingluo Car can only be ridden by high-class wives.

Everyone unloaded the carts and led the mules to eat fodder.

Gu Fei followed Gu Zhang into the inn door.

There were three tables of guests sitting in the lobby.

At one table were a beautiful middle-aged woman and a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old wearing blue brocade clothes. There were several maids standing nearby waiting on him.

The other two tables were occupied by eight guards in black.

Gu Fei only glanced at it and quickly looked away.

Lanzhi touched her arm and whispered, "It's the county governor's wife."

The prince of the Hou family got married last year, and this lady attended the wedding banquet.

Gu Fei said "Yeah" in a low voice. No matter who this lady was, she had nothing to do with them.

The village chief came up and asked the shopkeeper directly: "How much does it cost to stay in Tongpu?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and said, "Fifty cents per person." He glanced at Yam Yao, the grandson next to the village chief, "Half the amount for children."

The village chief was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he heard wrongly, "Fifty cents? My former son lived in Tongpu for only twenty cents!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Brother, these days, there is no tomorrow, so the price will naturally change every day."

He pouted outside and said, "When you came in, you saw those people standing at the entrance of the courtyard. They are all hired by me. It costs a lot of money a day. How can you do it without raising the price?"

The village chief asked in confusion, "Why hire those people?"

The shopkeeper spread his hands and said, "There is nothing I can do. If I don't hire someone to stand at the door, the refugees won't be able to drive away. They all want to come and beg for food and drink, and I won't be able to continue my business."

He sighed, "I don't know, this business won't last for a few more days. Let's just take it one day at a time."

The village chief was reluctant to pay and stood back hesitantly.

Gu Fei took out a piece of broken silver and said, "We live in Tongbu, with ten adults and one child. We also need four bundles of fodder and six buckets of water. How much do you think it will cost?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Gu Fei, rattled his abacus, and said with a smile, "This girl is so happy, I'll calculate it for you. The accommodation is 525 renminbi, the four bundles of fodder are 80 renminbi, and the six buckets of water are 900 renminbi. In total, It’s one, two and a half pieces of silver and five copper coins.”

"Let's do this. I'll give you five copper coins, and you can give me one, two or five coins."

Gu Fei shook his head. The accommodation fee has gone up, and the water price has also gone up. There is no other way, so we have to stay.

She put the silver on the counter, "Here are two taels of silver, please weigh it."
