Chapter 159 These two silver coins are so worth it!
Qin Rushuang slept soundly, unaware of everything around her.
Two hours later, it was already dark at night, and the carriage finally arrived at the inn closest to Zhou County.
Qingzhi opened the car curtain, and Xie Xun shook her head gently. It turned out that Qin Rushuang was still sleeping soundly.
Qingzhi understood and took out a fiery red cloak from his luggage.
After Xie Xun took it, he covered Qin Rushuang tightly, then hugged her up.
Qin Rushuang moved slightly in her arms, as if she felt moved. She opened her eyes a little and said vaguely: "Are you here...?"
Xie Xun said softly: "Go to sleep, I will take you back to your room."
Qin Rushuang was really sleepy. She worked hard all day on the carriage and then followed the cook for a while. Now she was very sleepy.
Feeling that I was safe, I simply closed my eyes and fell asleep regardless.
The inn was built between Kyoto and Zhou County. There were many hotel guests who had traveled all day and arrived after dark, so there were many people eating in the lobby.
There were several tables of people sitting in the lobby, and they were all very hungry. It wasn't too noisy, and everyone was immersed in eating.
After the group walked in, Shen Xiaoyang took the lead and asked the shopkeeper to book a room.
"Shopkeeper, there are six upper rooms."
Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun lived in one room, Shen Xiaoyang lived in another room, and the remaining servants plus Qingzhi totaled eight, making six rooms for the two of them.
"Unfortunately, my guest, there are only two rooms left."
The shopkeeper raised his head and glanced at Shen Xiaoyang's clothes, guessing that he was a young master from a wealthy family. He also looked at the man behind him who was holding someone in his arms. He also had an extraordinary bearing.
The shopkeeper explained in a good voice, "The two nobles will each have a room, and the remaining servants will live in a medium-sized room, right? A medium-sized room in a small shop is also excellent."
"No."
Shen Xiaoyang's family is also a respectable family. They have been protected since childhood. With their status, they are very particular about staying in hotels when going out.
If the owner lives in an upper room, it is best to clear that floor. If it cannot be cleared, the guards should live next to the owner to ensure that the owner can be protected as soon as possible if something goes wrong.
The conversation between the two was quickly noticed by the people eating in the lobby.
They were all traveling around. One look at the clothes of Xie Xun and Shen Xiaoyang, and they knew that they were people not to be messed with. Then they looked at Xie Xun. This person seemed to be holding someone in his arms...?
Everyone was curious, but before they took a second look, they suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming towards them.
Looking up, it was Xie Xun who cast a warning look at those people who were looking this way.
Those people were immediately frightened and shrank their necks, guessing that he must be holding someone in his arms.
Darling, what kind of person must this be to be so beautiful and fragrant in the country to attract such an extraordinary young master to be so protective? I have to get up early tomorrow to see her beauty...
Shen Xiaoyang said a few words to the shopkeeper. Qin Rushuang in her arms seemed to be disturbed by the noise. She buried her face in Xie Xun's arms and covered her face with a big cloak, leaving only a small amount of hair exposed playfully.
"Forget it, just open two upper rooms and four medium rooms." Xie Xun said.
Shen Xiaoyang thought that since he and Xie Xun both had martial arts skills, Qin Rushuang should be fine, so he didn't say anything more to the shopkeeper.
After Xie Xun and his group left, the person in the lobby who had been warned by Xie Xun poked the person next to him with his elbow.
"Tell me, did that young master hold a beautiful woman in his arms just now? Why are you so cruel to me after just one glance?"
The man was busy eating and didn't want to pay attention to him. He was stabbed a few times by the arm, and then he said impatiently: "If she is good-looking, why don't you dare to see people? Maybe she is an extremely ugly woman?"
"Nonsense, I think she must be a great beauty!"
"I think he's just an ugly guy!"
The man was interrupted twice while eating, and his temper got worse.
"How about a gamble? Let's get up early tomorrow and see if she's a beauty or an ugly creature. How about betting a tael of silver on her?"
One tael of silver was already a lot for an ordinary person. The man was a little embarrassed to get off the stage, but he had raised the topic first. How could he show cowardice at this moment, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Okay! Just bet a tael of silver!"
…
Qin Rushuang slept in a daze, feeling noisy around her. Just when she was about to lose her temper, the surroundings became quiet again. She was placed on a flat bed, and she slowly fell asleep.
When Qin Rushuang woke up early the next morning, Xie Xun had gotten up early, had just washed up, and was drinking tea.
Qin Rushuang was a little embarrassed, she seemed to be getting more and more sleepy now.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go have breakfast first?"
"Nothing. I'll wait with you."
"What does the princess want to wear today?" Qingzhi asked at the side.
Qin Rushuang thought for a moment and said, "I won't wear red anymore. Don't wear those bright colors, they are too eye-catching. Find something simple and elegant."
Qingzhi nodded, took out a moon-white gown from her luggage and put it on Qin Rushuang, and tied Qin Rushuang's hair into a popular bun.
Because she was dressed plainly and elegantly today, Qingzhi didn't choose too many headgear for Qin Rushuang. She only took the same moon-white jade hairpin and gently inserted it into her bun.
There are two buckles on the hairpin, which makes a jingling sound when walking. It is low-key and beautiful.
After Qin Rushuang finished dressing, she turned around in front of the bronze mirror and asked Qingzhi, "Does it look good on me dressed like this?"
This is not her usual dressing style.
Before Qingzhi could answer, Xie Xun had already spoken.
"nice."
After receiving the compliment, Qin Rushuang was in a good mood, "Then let's go down and have a meal."
In the lobby.
The two people who made the bet yesterday were looking eagerly in the direction of the stairs.
After gambling a tael of silver yesterday, both of them actually regretted it a little, but they couldn't save their dignity, so they sat in the lobby before dawn today, for fear of missing the people coming down from upstairs.
The one who said it looked good looked up at the stairs, which made his neck feel sore. So he couldn't wait any longer and asked the waiter to bring him a bowl of porridge and drank it with his head down.
The person next to me who said it didn't look good took a steamed bun and bit it in his mouth.
He was eating porridge, and while he was drinking, he suddenly saw his companion's bun falling off with a "pop".
He teased, "Why can't you even hold the buns firmly? If you were afraid, I wouldn't bet with you."
The man seemed not to have heard what he said and muttered: "It's worth it...it's really worth it!"
"What's it worth? What are you talking about? You're going to be stupid if you eat steamed buns!"
The companion whispered: "I think losing this one tael of silver to you is really worth it! Look over there!"

If something happens, I’ll update one more picture. I’ll make it up tomorrow. Good night, my dears.
