Chapter 178 Check-in at the Guest House
Chapter 178 Check-in at the Guest House
The weather was still breathtakingly hot.
The big yellow dogs along the road were hiding in the shade of the trees, sticking out their tongues. The open-air teahouses on both sides of the road were empty, with only one or two waiters, who were wearing towels on their shoulders and constantly wiping the hot sweat that kept oozing from their foreheads.
Seeing that the sun was getting hotter and hotter, Mu Yao, Shen Chutang and Xiao Douxue decided to stay in the "Yingke Tower" and go to the "Changsheng Pavilion" after the sunset.
I don't know what day it is today, but many noble ladies came to the guest reception building. Mu Yao looked around and saw that there were 23 of them, which really surprised her.
She had been in Yunqi for so long, but this was the first time she had seen so many noble ladies in a restaurant at the same time.
"Look, here comes another noble lady!"
A diner shouted in the direction of Mu Yao.
Mu Yao's graceful figure and the gorgeous looks of Shen Chutang and Xiao Douxue immediately attracted all the attention in the building.
"Dear guests, would you like to have a meal or stay overnight?" Seeing that they were well-mannered and that there was a graceful lady among them, the shopkeeper Wen Huishan put on a smile and went to greet them personally.
"Stay in a hotel." Xiao Douxue replied.
He glanced around and saw so many eyes cast towards them, and frowned in displeasure.
"Give us two rooms upstairs," he added.
"This..." Wen Huishan looked a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, "I'm really sorry, everyone. You have seen the grand scene in our building. There is only one upper room left, and the middle rooms are also full. There are only three ordinary rooms left. What do you think..." As he spoke, he looked at Mu Yao.
Although the girl was wearing a veil on her head, it was hard to hide her dazzling beauty. If she stayed in an ordinary guest room, it would be a real injustice to her, so she couldn't help but said, "I wonder if you two gentlemen are the husbands of this noble lady? Why don't you stay in one of the upper rooms and one of the ordinary rooms? Or the three of you... cough... squeeze together in the upper room?" The people of Yunlan are open-minded, not surprising, not surprising!
"I wonder what the biggest difference is between the upper rooms and the common rooms here?" Mu Yao asked. She thought to herself that if the difference was not important, she would just live in the common rooms.
Wen Huishan smiled and said, "There is a private hot spring bath in the upper room of our building, but there is none in the common room. If you want to take a bath, you have to go to the public hot spring bath in the back room."
How can that work!
Mu Yao hesitated for a while, then looked at Shen Chutang and Xiao Douxue: "How about we go to another place?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Huishan quickly said, "This lady, you don't know that today is our annual beauty contest at the Yingke Building. The winner can drink with He An, the first son of Yunlan. Many ladies come here because of our reputation. I am not exaggerating. There are not many inns with vacancies in the streets around us. By the time you get there, all the rooms will have been taken."
Mu Yao's eyelids twitched, and she noticed that the air pressure on both sides had obviously dropped. She immediately straightened her expression and said, "Look at the faces of the two husbands beside me. Do I still need to drink with Master He?"
Shen Chutang and Xiao Douxue's expressions relaxed slightly when they heard this.
Wen Huishan's eyes flickered a few times, and he smiled awkwardly: "Indeed... there is no need. My lady is too polite. I am the shopkeeper here, and my last name is Wen." It was the first time he heard a lady use honorifics to address him, and his favorability towards Mu Yao suddenly increased by three feet.
Mu Yao turned to Xiao Douxue and asked, "Douxue, is the Yuehua Manor you mentioned before close to here?"
Seeing Xiao Douxue frowning and not saying anything, she knew the answer. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wen Huishan and said politely, "Please, Manager Wen, give us one upper room and three ordinary rooms."
Shen Chutang and Xiao Douxue looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Mu Yao glanced at the two people's expressions in embarrassment, and after thinking it over again, she said, "I will live alone in the upper room, and you two can stay in the ordinary room."
Neither of them seemed to have expected Mu Yao to make this decision. This time, even Shen Chutang's eyes showed obvious surprise.
"My dear, it's not safe for you to live alone." Xiao Douxue said worriedly, his tone so soft that Shen Chutang couldn't help but curl his fingers twice.
Mu Yao knew what he was thinking, so she said unhappily, "We'll just stay here for a day. So who of you two will live with me? Or you two can discuss it and decide first?"
Xiao Douxue choked and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Shen Chutang thought for a moment and decided, "The three of us will all stay in the room."
After experiencing the "rainy night confrontation" a few days ago, Shen Chutang knew that he must not let Mu Yao out of his sight. Xiao Douxue couldn't protect her at all, no wonder Wei Wushang was willing to put aside his personal grudges and come to him.
Weak, too weak! Shen Chutang looked at Xiao Douxue again and frowned.
Mu Yao was silent, and Xiao Douxue was also silent.
After a while, the two nodded in agreement.
After taking the keys, several people went upstairs with their own thoughts.
The upper room of the guest house was quite spacious, but there were no partitions. Mu Yao pointed to the Luohan bed on the left and said, "You two can sleep there, or sleep on the floor next to my bed."
Fearing that they might have some thoughts, he said, "I'm not fully recovered yet, and I'm afraid I'll pass on my illness to you. It's only one night, so you two should bear with me."
Without waiting for their reaction, he walked straight into the hot spring.
At noon on a scorching day, the fire is burning.
Mu Yao didn't know how to describe the horrible weather here, but it was much hotter than her original world.
