Chapter 23 Fulai Inn
I didn’t take a shower in the Zhang Mansion yesterday because I didn’t have any clothes to change. However, now when I returned to the Xiao family, I must wash it well. After all, I had a fight and climbing mountain yesterday, and Xu Chen felt a little sticky.
He ordered someone to serve hot water and asked the maid where the clothes he had changed had gone.
"Mr. Xu, the clothes you changed yesterday have been lost to the eldest lady."
Xu Chen was puzzled, why did Xiao Lian throw my clothes away? But it doesn’t matter if I think about it. There is a set of washes in my bag.
"Mr. Xu, is there anything left behind in his clothes yesterday?" asked the maid.
"This is not."
"That's good. The lady told someone to order a few sets of clothes for you, and it should be delivered in the afternoon."
"Ah?" Xu Chen couldn't help but be shocked. He was eating and drinking for nothing and living for nothing. Now he had to spend some free sets of good-looking clothes for others. Isn't this a soft meal?
"Nothing is wrong, I'll step down first."
Xu Chen touched his chin with a wry smile. In fact, in his eyes, he saved Xiao Lian by following the trend. If he didn't save her, he would feel sorry for him because he had saved others. If he didn't lend a helping hand when others needed help, he would put his heart in his heart and feel that he was not as good as a dog. Xu Chen's mind has always been instilled with the Mao-horseism idea of the new era. Repaying kindness with virtue is the most basic, although this kindness is not the same person.
When the hot water was brought, Xu Chen didn't think too much about it. He was not active in taking a bath and had problems with his thoughts. After all, he had known it after living here for a while. Not everyone could take a bath in a bathtub. When he thought that he would use a bucket of hot water to wipe his body casually in Huangjia Village, Xu Chen trembled all over.
By the way, when I make some money in Fengqi Town, I will go back to Huangjia Village. At that time, I must buy Huang Ying'er a big bathtub to go back!
While soaking, Xu Chen had already thought about everything Huang Dashan’s family lacked, and was preparing to go back to buy a cart of daily necessities and return to Huangjia Village.
After taking a shower, I changed into my last set of clothes and thought about it. I didn’t know what I could do. Although I wanted to practice my internal skills, it was not very good. After all, I was discovered and I was afraid that Xiao Weifeng would be scared. When they saw that they were such a genius, would they be willing to be a master? Xu Chen thought happily.
"Young Master Xu."
Just as Xu Chen was sitting on the chair and thinking about what he wanted to do, Xiao Lian shouted at the door.
Xu Chen opened the door. Xiao Lian dressed differently from the literary man yesterday. His eyebrows were heroic yesterday, but his makeup today was as friendly and beautiful as a woman from the Chang family.
When Xiao Lian saw Xu Chen wearing it, he couldn't help but frown: "Young Master Xu, haven't I asked someone to make a few sets of clothes for you? Why are you still wearing it like this?"
"Oh, they told me that they would not be delivered in the afternoon."
When Xiao Lian heard the reason, he let go of his eyebrows: "So that's it."
"But by the way, Miss, is it really good if you customize so many clothes for me?" Xu Chen scratched his head.
"After all, you are a distinguished guest of our Xiao family. Maybe you will go out with your father to look for guests in the future. If you wear the same clothes as you are now, I am afraid that it would be a joke to others about our Xiao family's poverty." Xiao Lian shook his head and said.
"I don't think I am a distinguished guest, and I've talked to your father today. I'm going to go to an inn tomorrow to help your father manage the accounts."
When Xiao Lian heard this, he felt happy. So wouldn’t Xu Chen stay in Xiao’s house like this?
"So, I'm working for you, how can I be a distinguished guest?" Xu Chen said with a smile, "I will accept the clothes I've ordered, but the money for the clothes will be paid back by the lady when I get the wages."
Xiao Lian raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Chen, and slowly said, "Let's talk about it then."
"By the inn lady, can you understand?" Xu Chen asked.
"I know a little bit more. Originally, my family didn't do these businesses, but someone borrowed money from my father and didn't pay it back, so he used the inn as a mortgage to return it."
"So that's it." Can you borrow money worth an inn? Is the Xiao family so rich? Xu Chen blinked.
Xiao Lian thought of something and looked at Xu Chen and asked, "Why would I take you to the inn to take a look?"
Xu Chen had nothing to do, so he naturally nodded and agreed.
However, Xiao Lian asked Xu Chen to wait for him first, so Xu Chen had to do it. However, after thinking about it, he knew that he was going to change clothes. There were so many cumbersome traveling and living.
Xiao Lian changed into a trouser dress, and accompanied him in a carriage, two guards and maid Xiaoqing. Xu Chen thought about looking at him again yesterday and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Xiao Lian also prepared a horse for Xu Chen, but Xu Chen waved his hand and stopped using it because he couldn't ride a horse. However, he felt that he would have to learn it if he had the chance in the future. After all, if he and Huang Yinger didn't ride a horse when they traveled around the world with swords, what was that?
Xiao Lian opened the curtain in the carriage and looked at Xu Chen walking, and couldn't help but frown. She wanted to call Xu Chen to get on the carriage, but she was just thinking about it.
Xiaoqing, who was accompanying her, had noticed that Xiao Lian had changed a lot recently, but she couldn't remind her too much. After all, how could she guess such things at will? If Xiao Lian angered, she would probably lose her job.
Not long after he left, the carriage and his group stopped in front of an inn. Xu Chen looked up and saw that the inn was called Fulai Inn.
When the waiter of the inn saw the carriage and his group approaching, he thought that they had started business, he quickly greeted him with a smile: "Dear uncles, is this a meal or a hotel?"
Xiaoqing got out of the carriage and said to the inn waiter: "I asked your shopkeeper to come out and say that the eldest lady of the Xiao family is here."
The waiter of the inn worked in the inn for a long time, and naturally knew that the inn had been mortgaged to the Xiao family. He quickly turned around and hired the shopkeeper.
Not long after, the shopkeeper smiled and said with a pity: "Welcome to the young lady." He smiled on his face. In fact, he was thinking in his heart what Xiao Lian did to do in the inn. After all, although the inn belongs to the Xiao family, the store was mortgaged, and although the boss changed the person, it did not affect the changes in the personnel in the inn. The Xiao family basically came to check the accounts every month and stopped doing business.
Xiao Lian in the carriage nodded softly and said nothing, while Xu Chen approached the shopkeeper and said, "Set a elegant seat and give some snacks to the lady."
The shopkeeper looked at Xu Chen wearing simple clothes, not like a big shot in the Xiao family, but his tone was not like a Xiao family member. He seemed to have never heard of this person in the Xiao family. He was a little confused about Xu Chen's origin and asked, "Who are you?"
Xu Chen narrowed his eyes and grinned: "Mr. Xiao arranged that I will take care of the inn's future accounts every day. By the way, my surname is Xu and my name is Chen, and I work together for Mr. Xiao. I hope you and I will take care of each other."
The shopkeeper was frightened. Mr. Xiao had never done such a business and had always been careless about the inn. Now he arranged for someone to come and manage the accounts. What is Mr. Xiao going to do? Will he have to change his own family to be the shopkeeper next time?
