I want to ruin the country

The boss lady was even happier. Her parents were gone, and her brother was in trouble. It seemed that this girl was all alone. But here she comes!

The proprietress said hurriedly,

"Look at him, look at him, his eyes are red. How much injustice has he suffered?"

Miss Yujiao said,

"I haven't been wronged, I just got emotional when I saw the scene!"

The proprietress said hurriedly,

"I won't say anymore! I'm sorry for making you sad!

Look at the dirt all over your body. You must have been traveling so fast. I guess you must be exhausted, right?"

Miss Yujiao said,

"It's okay, I'm not tired!"

The lady boss said,

"Once you're here, you're at home. If you have anything to say, tell me. Just call me Huagu!

Come to me, I can handle any problem for you. Sit down and talk!"

As she spoke, Hua Gu went to take the bag off the girl's shoulders.

Miss Yujiao dodged and didn't give it to her, saying,

"What kind of room, how much per day?"

When Hua Gu touched the girl's bag, she felt it was heavy and was delighted!

If they were all clothes, it wouldn't feel like this. There would definitely be a lot of yellow and white things in it!

She said,

"What's the point of money? As long as you walk in, you're a guest. Rich or poor, you can stay here. Who would leave their house behind when they go out?"

The girl said,

"I have money, so you better tell me!"

Hua Gu smiled and said,

"Okay, okay, you have guts, kid!

Our place is not expensive, but we only have upper rooms now. How long will you stay here?

Yujiao said,

"I haven't decided how long I'll be staying here yet. How much does it cost to rent a room?"

Hua Gu said,

"The upper room is five cents a day. If you stay here permanently, I can give you a discount!"

Yujiao was stunned. Along the way, she had stayed in inns that cost more than ten yuan a day, and some that cost three or five yuan. Why were the houses here so expensive?

She said,

"Five cents of silver is too expensive. I can't afford it!"

Although she is not short of money now, she thinks it is a crime to spend five hundred dollars on a sleep!

But the boss lady didn't let her go.

"Why is it so expensive? This is reserved for a great master. He can't come because of something. Otherwise, where would he get the room? Look at everyone's house, isn't it full?"

Yujiao thought about it and realized that it was really hard to find a bed in the capital now.

"How about I take a look at the house?"

When Hua Gu heard that there was a way, she quickly said,

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to see it."

When I came to the backyard, I saw that it was a two-entry yard, quite large.

The front row is a two-story building with more than a dozen rooms on the east and west sides, and side rooms on both sides.

There is a garden in the backyard, which is about thirty or forty meters long from north to south. At the end is a two-story building, which looks very quiet.

The lady boss said,

"The best room is upstairs. I'll show you there. It doesn't matter if you want to stay there or not. It's free to see!"

Yujiao followed her upstairs. It turned out that there were two bedrooms separated in the middle of the upstairs.

It is said to be two bedrooms, but in fact it is two sets.

Each room is over 200 square meters and is divided into a bedroom, living room, study, and another secondary bedroom. It is larger than the three-bedroom, two-living room houses in later generations.

Moreover, the house is decorated in a magnificent style with carved beams and painted rafters, and is furnished with mahogany furniture.

The floor is covered with wool carpets from Persia, and various porcelains are placed on the antique shelves.

There are famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and an incense cage on the table, with smoke rising from it, which smells very pleasant.

When she arrived at the bedroom, she saw pink curtains and a large double bed covered with a silk and satin bedspread that Hong Yujiao couldn't name.

It can be said to be extremely luxurious. No wonder it costs five cents of silver a day. It seems to be really worth it!

But no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit frivolous and not very solemn.

Yujiao didn't think much about it. It was their house and how they decorated it was their business. They would only live there for a few days and then leave. Why should she care so much?

Hua Gu said ostentatiously,

"Are you satisfied, young lady? In this capital, apart from the homes of the Emperor and the Prince, I dare say no place is more comfortable than ours!"

Yu Jiao had lived with her master since she was a child, and was used to the simple life of the Buddha and the green lamp. When she thought about spending five cents of silver a day, she still couldn't bear it.

"Aunt Hua, this place is too expensive. I can't afford it. Please give me another room!"

Hua Gu clapped her hands and said,

"What do you mean by 'can't afford a place to live'? Life is short, and if you don't spend your money, it's all gone in vain.

I don't think you're short of money, so why would you want to be squeezed in with those stinky men in front of you?"

"I……"

Hua Gu said,

"Girl, stop wasting time. Don't even mention that there's no room upstairs. Even if there was, could you live there?

It’s hot now, so I have to wash myself every day, right?

You are a pretty girl, which man wouldn't want to take a second look at you? Aren't you afraid of being peeped at by those perverts?!"

As she spoke, the proprietress seemed to remember something and giggled, covering her mouth.

Miss Yujiao turned and left.

"Forget it, I'll go look somewhere else!"

The proprietress was anxious and grabbed Yujiao's sleeve.

"Don't go, it's so unsafe for you to run around alone!

How about this, you stay here first, and I won't charge you five cents of silver, just three hundred cents a day. Is that okay?"

Three hundred coins were equivalent to three hundred yuan in the 1980s and 1990s, which was very expensive for ordinary people.

The girl was still a little hesitant.

Hua Gu rolled her eyes and said,

"Alright, alright, I'll take a hundred dollars from you, alright.

I am a kind person, and I am just worried that something might happen to you, a beautiful girl, wandering around the streets.

Do you know how many bandits and robbers there are in the capital now? If something really happens, it will be too late to regret.

Having said that, Miss Yujiao couldn't leave. Besides, there really was no room available elsewhere.

When Hua Gu saw that Yu Jiao agreed, she was overjoyed.

"Miss, what's your name? Where are you from? I want you to register. The authorities are checking very strictly now!"

Yu Jiao said,

"My name is Feng Yujie, and I'm from Luofu Mountain!"

Yujiao became cautious and gave Feng Yunshan's last name, which was her junior sister's name.

Hua Gu doesn't care if you are called a cat or a dog, she is attracted to Miss Yujiao as a person.

"Good girl, don't go down. I'll send someone to bring you water to wash your face. We have a kitchen downstairs. We can cook whatever you want!

If you don’t want to eat your own food, you can order it from a restaurant.

But if you want to eat out at a restaurant these days, you have to tell us in advance, otherwise the food won’t be served!"

Yu Jiao said,

"Okay, boss lady, thank you!"

Hua Gu laughed exaggeratedly and said,

"What boss lady? From now on, you can call me Huagu!

Others won't dare bully you when they hear you calling them affectionately. It's not easy for a girl to go out, so it's better to stay out of the public eye!"

Yujiao was young and inexperienced, and thought that Hua Gu was a good person, so she thanked her repeatedly.

Hua Gu's wish came true, and she went downstairs, shouting as she walked.

"Wangcai, where have you been, you bastard? Hurry up and get some water for the aunt upstairs to wash her face!"
