The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Su Lun and his companions entered an inn that looked pretty good. There were not many people in the inn at this time, and it seemed a little deserted. As soon as they entered the door, a warm waiter came up to them with a flattering smile on his face: "Dear guests, please come in! Do you want to stop by or stay overnight?"

Su Lun thought for a moment and replied, "Stay in the hotel and give us five upper rooms." As he spoke, he placed a silver ingot on the counter to show that he could afford it.

"Okay!" The waiter smiled and picked up the silver skillfully. He bit it with his teeth and confirmed that it was real silver. He immediately showed a more attentive smile. He quickly counted out five keys, handed them to Su Lun, and asked, "Dear guests, I will take you upstairs to see the room first."

Su Lun took the key and nodded, but did not rush upstairs. Instead, he followed the waiter and said casually, "We came from Licheng before and found that the inns there were almost full. We were worried that we would not be able to find a place to stay again, but we didn't expect to be so lucky..."

Upon hearing this, the waiter turned around and explained with a smile: "My dear guests, you may not know that our business used to be pretty good. But this year the harvest was not good and the price of grain has risen, causing many people to be unable to eat and become refugees. Now it's a bit chaotic outside. Therefore, no one dares to go out, so business is naturally much worse."

Su Lun raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he was surprised by the situation. He sighed, "Is it so serious? This is really not good."

"Well, who says it's not?" The waiter said. When they reached the door of the room on the second floor, the waiter opened the door one by one and said, "Dear guests, are you satisfied with it?"

Su Lun looked around the room and found it was fairly clean and tidy. He took out some change and handed it to the waiter: "Waiter, we are a little hungry after all this time. Do you have any recommendations for restaurants? Let's go try them."

"If you want to eat, Binyuelou is the most famous one. It has a complete range of dishes and is usually the most popular. You may want to give it a try."

"Thank you." Su Lun clasped his fists and bowed.

"No, no, sir, you are too polite." The waiter waved his hands quickly.

So Qingyang stayed behind to look after the luggage, and everyone else followed Su Lun out.

When Su Lun and his party arrived at Binyue Tower, they saw a waiter kicking a beggar away, cursing, "You little bastard, you are stealing food here again, get out of here, or I'll break your legs if I see you again!"

The little beggar was kicked far away and fell heavily to the ground, but he did not cry out. He just quickly got up and hid aside, holding half a steamed bun tightly in his hand.

Su Lun frowned and said to the waiter, "Young man, why do you have to argue so much with a child?"

"Sir, you don't know that this little beggar is a thief. He spends the whole day stealing food. He has seriously affected our business. We have tolerated him for a long time." The waiter said angrily.

"Oh? Really?" Su Lun looked at the little beggar, and saw that his eyes were particularly bright on his dirty face.

The little beggar seemed to notice Su Lun's gaze. He raised his head and looked at him timidly.

Su Lun smiled slightly, took out a few copper coins from his pocket and threw them to the little beggar: "Use them to buy some food."

A hint of surprise flashed in the little beggar's eyes. He quickly picked up the copper coin and kowtowed to Su Lun with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir..."

Su Lun waved his hand, turned and walked into Binyue Building.

The waiter changed his arrogant attitude and followed Su Lun and said flatteringly: "Sir, you are so generous! This way, please. There are private rooms upstairs with a quiet environment, which is very suitable for distinguished guests like you. How about the distinguished guests go upstairs?"

Su Lun glanced around. Unlike the deserted inn just now, although Binyue Tower was not as popular as Zuixian Tower, it was still bustling with people. He smiled and shook his head: "No need to bother, we can just eat something in the lobby on the first floor. You can just prepare a few good dishes. Also, give us a pot of good tea."

The waiter nodded hurriedly, his tone becoming more respectful: "Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away. By the way, sir, our Peach Blossom Drunk is our signature wine, with a mellow taste and a fragrant aroma. Many guests have praised it. Would you like to have a jar?"

Su Lun glanced at the three people accompanying him, and caught a glimpse of anticipation in Qi Heng and Chen Jiajun's eyes, and smiled inwardly. He readily responded, "Since your Taohuazui is so famous, let's try it. But let me make it clear first, if it doesn't taste good, I won't pay for it!"

The waiter quickly assured: "Don't worry, sir. The Peach Blossom Drunk in our Binyue Tower will definitely not let you down!"

Afterwards, they found a seat near the window and sat down. While waiting for the food to be served, they listened to the conversations of the people around them. The street outside the window was bustling with people coming and going.

Sitting at the table next to Su Lun was a middle-aged couple with three children. The lady kept picking up food for the three children and said, "Eat quickly, we still have to go on the road after we finish eating."

"Mom, it's getting dark. Can't we leave tomorrow?" one of the little girls said somewhat unhappily.

"Kid, we have made an appointment with your uncle. The people who will pick us up will be here soon. Your uncle said that the situation will become less and less peaceful as time goes by. We'd better leave as soon as possible. Haven't you noticed that there are more and more refugees these days?"

"It's not like our family can't make ends meet, so why do we have to go live with my uncle?" the little girl muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Why are you asking so many questions about adult matters? Hurry up and eat." The woman glared at the girl and said.

At this time, another girl said weakly, "Mom, Ali and Xiaohong haven't eaten yet. How about I send them some food? We can't finish it anyway."

The lady glared at him and said, "Why do you care what they do? It's enough for the two servants to just eat something."

The girl was stunned by the yelling, then lowered her head and dared not say anything more.

Su Lun and Wang Shen looked at each other and saw the same message in each other's eyes: "Something is strange!" They looked at those people and found that their clothes were not like those of ordinary people. They looked like they came from a good family. In this special period, it was really unusual that someone would choose to travel in a hurry at night.

While the two were thinking, the food was served soon. "Sir, the food you ordered is here, please enjoy it slowly." The waiter greeted enthusiastically. Su Lun and Wang Shen ate their food while keeping an eye on the movements of the neighboring table. Not long after, the people at the neighboring table seemed to have eaten their fill and were ready to pay the bill and leave. When the middle-aged man stood up and passed by, Wang Shen pretended to pick up something, quietly untied the jade pendant hanging around his waist, and then quietly followed behind him.
