A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

"Who can afford to stay in an inn these days? Now that you are here, won't there be guests?"

The guy answered fluently with a cunning gleam in his eyes.

"that's true."

The village chief sighed and said that these days, it is difficult for everyone to fill their stomachs, so how can they have money to stay in an inn? For example, most of the villagers would not choose to live here.

Wen Meijiu listened to them talking and said nothing, but kept a watchful eye.

The village chief asked for the two innermost rooms on the second floor as he felt they were safe.

Wen Meijiu looked at the rooms at the back and in order to take care of each other with the village chief's family, he asked for the two rooms next to it.

After choosing the room, Wen Meijiu asked:

"Do you have any water here?"

"Drinking?"

The guy leaned lazily against the pillar behind him, threw a sweat towel over his shoulders.

"For bathing."

Wen Meijiu didn't plan to buy food in this inn. There were special people to cook for him, which was both economical and delicious.

We stayed in this inn not for safety or to sleep more comfortably, but just to let our family take a bath and relieve their fatigue.

The guy hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head and said:

"Yes, eighty-five cents a bucket of hot water."

This place is different from the inns I stayed in before. The rooms here don’t come with hot water, and it’s extremely expensive. It’s simply taking advantage of someone’s misfortune.

However, the disaster here was more serious, so she did not bargain with the other party and agreed immediately.

"I need seven buckets of hot water. I'll deliver it upstairs later."

After saying that, Wen Meijiu took out some money from his waist, counted it, and put it on the hand that the waiter stretched out.

"Count it, that's enough."

The waiter didn't expect that Wen Meijiu would agree so readily. He also asked for so many buckets of hot water. He counted the money and nodded rapidly.

"That's enough, that's enough, the girl is really heroic."

After saying this, he happily took the money and went downstairs, leaving the warm wine and the village chief upstairs.

The village chief also wanted water, but when he heard it was so expensive, he swallowed his words.

Seeing that the man had gone, he said to the warm wine:

“This is robbery.”

Wen Meijiu smiled and said:

"Forget it, for the sake of convenience, let's spend money to avoid disaster."

The village chief looked at Wen Meijiu and smacked his lips, not knowing what to say to her.

"Grandpa, let's go downstairs and get something."

After her reminder, the village chief finally reacted and the two of them went downstairs together.

After unloading the carriage, he told Ma Rulan and Qi Wenjing to go to the open area outside the inn to build a stove and cook, while Wen Meijiu went upstairs alone to move things.

I didn't have much luggage with me, just some old clothes that I could change into.

When Wen Meijiu walked into the inn, he took two bags, one on his back and one in his arms.

When I entered the inn, I saw Lao Li bargaining with the innkeeper, and Master Wang was standing next to them, not saying a word.

"It's ok that the room is expensive, but why is a bucket of hot water eighty-five cents?"

Wen Meijiu had long guessed that Old Li had money. How could a prince not carry money?

Old Li is an old fox, and he usually behaves flawlessly in front of her.

You see, even at this time, he was still bargaining with the shopkeeper, just to prove that he was poor.

"If you can afford it, use it. If you can't, forget it. Don't waste your time here. You're not as capable as a girl."

The shopkeeper was obviously impatient and just turned his face away.

"That's right. Miss Wen doesn't think it's expensive, and you, a grown man, are not ashamed to talk about this and that."

Although the waiter didn't know the relationship between Lao Li and Wen Meijiu, he saw that Lao Li and Wen Meijiu were together.

They looked at Wen Meijiu and talked about Lao Li. Lao Li subconsciously turned around and happened to see Wen Meijiu passing by.

"Miss Wen, did you really order eighty-five cents a barrel?"

Old Li looked at Wen Meijiu with incredible eyes, his face full of surprise.

Wen Meijiu stopped, smiled and nodded at him, and spoke for the store owner.

"Give it to them. It's a chaotic situation here and it's not easy for them."

"It's not difficult at all. In the past, hot water was free in inns. It's ok for him to charge for water, but it's so expensive. It's simply..."

Without waiting for Old Li to finish his complaints, Wen Meijiu turned his back to the crowd, took out a small piece of silver from the bundle in front of his chest, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said:

"I'll leave the money with you. Give them as much as they need. Return the rest to me tomorrow."

The shopkeeper couldn't believe his eyes. He just ordered two buckets of hot water, but why did he have to spend so much change?

He weighed it with his hand and it was at least three taels.

I put it in my mouth and took a bite. Yes, it was real.

"The girl is really generous. Why don't you thank her right away?"

The shopkeeper had a big smile on his face, holding the silver in his hand, and was wandering between Lao Li and Wen Meijiu.

"Miss Wen, what can I say about you?"

Old Li was not grateful, but had a worried look on his face. He knew that Wen Meijiu had money, but wealth should not be shown to others. This was the iron rule of the world. Why didn't she understand this?

Wen Meijiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lao Li and said:

"You guys helped me in the past, now I'm helping you, we're even now, don't take it personally."

After saying that, she shifted her gaze away from Lao Li, glanced at Master Wang who was standing next to her, and went straight upstairs.

Both Old Li and Master Wang could tell that when Wen Meijiu mentioned clearing the difference, he was probably referring to repaying Master Wang's favor.

"Sir, what do you think?"

Old Li looked at Master Wang, and Master Wang blinked at him, meaning that this was the way it was for now.

"Miss Wen was not such a flamboyant person before."

Master Wang knew what Lao Li said, but he remained calm. Lao Li did not dare to say anything more and accepted the kindness of Wen Meijiu.

"Here's the key, the one on the second floor facing the stairs."

The waiter was a little impatient with the two people's whispering, so he reached out and threw the key on the side of the counter, his eyes full of disdain, and even refused to take people to see the house.

The second floor of the inn has four rooms facing north and south, and five rooms facing east and west. Prince Wang's room is right next to one of the two rooms reserved by Wen Meijiu.

Seeing the waiter's rude attitude, Old Li was about to step forward to argue with him, but was stopped by Master Wang.

He raised his chin towards the upper floor and said:

"Let's go upstairs."

Old Li was angry, but Master Wang didn't say anything, so he could only take the key and follow.

The two of them went up to the second floor together, opened the door and went in, then Lao Li closed the door with his hands behind his back.

Prince Wang also became alert instantly. He looked around and found that his room had two windows, one facing the street and the other facing the backyard, which were nailed shut.

The furnishings in the room were simple. Apart from a kang, there was a square table with a set of tea sets on it and two round stools on the side.

Prince Wang reached out his hand and touched the table top, rubbed it between his fingers, and found there was not much dust; he weighed the teapot and found that there was still most of the water in it.

He lifted the lid of the pot and smelled it. There was no smell, so it should not be long.

"Sir, do you need to remind Miss Wen?"
