Chapter 274 Departure to Haizhou 8
Gu Wenxuan didn't expect that she and her group would be treated as weaklings even though they were staying in a hotel. She glanced at the anxious waiter who kept persuading the other party not to harass their guests, and then glanced at the old shopkeeper who hurriedly called the other two waiters to help drive the guests away, and then she slammed the door in front of the middle-aged manager.
The middle-aged manager was furious. He kicked the door once and was about to kick it again when he heard Gu Wenxuan say coldly, "If you dare to act arrogantly again, I will report you to the police and have you arrested immediately."
The middle-aged manager raised his foot but stopped in mid-air, and he didn't dare to kick again.
The master he served was an official's wife, otherwise he would not dare to be so arrogant and treat people like Gu Wenxuan who were dressed simply as soft persimmons. But he was also very clear that now was the new dynasty and the administration was clean. If he dared to bully others by taking advantage of his power, his master would definitely be the one who would be in trouble.
Thinking of how his master had repeatedly warned them not to do evil or bully others outside, the middle-aged manager did not dare to continue making trouble.
The old shopkeeper came with two waiters to "invite" him, so he followed them out of the backyard.
The young man who had failed to stop the group of people before kept apologizing to Gu Wenxuan through the door. Gu Wenxuan said, "Never mind, it's just a small matter."
The young man thanked them profusely and left. As he walked, he couldn't help feeling thankful that the families that the other party had approached did not vent their anger on them because their inn failed to stop them.
The old shopkeeper was very grateful for the guests' generosity and understanding, and that night he asked his waiter to deliver a large pot of chicken soup to each courtyard as a token of his apology.
As for the domineering middle-aged manager, after being scolded by his master, he went to other inns in the rain.
I heard the waiter muttering in private that the group eventually split into two teams and stayed in two other inns in their county.
Of course, there is no private courtyard, and even the upper room is only occupied by the master who is in charge. The other managers, servants, and guards all live in ordinary rooms and large bunk beds.
This little episode made the children, who had never experienced what it meant to bully others, feel complicated. However, Gu Wenxuan, Bai Jingzhou, the Fang brothers, and the Lin family, who had already experienced the beating of reality, were not surprised.
To them, these guys who appear to be powerful but are actually weak are easy to deal with. The truly vicious ones are the ones they need to be doubly vigilant against, or even eliminate from the root.
After the sky cleared and the official road became dry again, Gu Wenxuan and his companions followed the caravan, passing through Xintai Town, Yishui County, Yizhou, Yishui County, Yizhou, and Ju County, Mizhou, and arrived at the hometown of the Lin family - Huairen County, Haizhou.
Finally arriving at their destination, after being in the car and on horses for so long, they were already exhausted. As soon as they checked into the inn, they went back to their rooms to rest. Even for dinner, they only ate after washing up and taking a nap.
Of course, there are people who are not included in this list, and those two people are Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan.
While others were shouting "I'm so tired" and "I can't do it anymore", these two were still as energetic as ever.
After watching the others settle down and enter their own rooms, Gu Wenxuan made an appointment with Bai Jingzhou to go shopping.
Little Sister Lin, who was the most exhausted, asked a soul-searching question, "How come the two of them have such good energy?!"
They have to travel every day, and she is almost exhausted just from sitting in the car and being tossed around, but these two people are always full of energy.
"Well," her second brother also envied Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou's good physical strength. He touched his nose and stated the fact, "In fact, it's not just them two. The others are also very energetic."
The others refer to the Fang brothers, Bai Jingshan, Ning Qirui, Jia Yuelan, Gu Wenhai, Gu Wenche and others.
When Father Lin heard his grandchildren's conversation, he smiled and said, "Now you know the benefits of practicing martial arts, right?"
He had previously considered letting his three grandchildren learn martial arts from Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, but unfortunately none of them were cut out for it.
The granddaughter is not willing to spend time practicing martial arts. Instead, she prefers to do embroidery under the guidance of his old wife to supplement the family. The grandsons can study until late at night, but when it comes to practicing martial arts, they all look sad and have a strong fear of difficulties.
In the end, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou only taught them some simple boxing and kicking techniques to strengthen their bodies, and let them practice them for fun when they were tired of studying.
The three little Lins looked at each other in bewilderment. They indeed envied Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou for tirelessly going out to taste the local delicacies and buy local specialties wherever they went. But if they were asked to practice martial arts...they should just take back their envy of Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou.
Not to mention how much time it would take for them to train to the level of those two people, just looking at their enthusiasm for spending money like water, they cannot be compared with them.
With their family background and personal abilities, they could not do what those two people did. As long as it tasted good, they would not consider the price. As long as Gu Wenxuan liked it, as long as they thought their family needed or liked it, they would buy everything, including food, drinks, clothes and daily necessities.
They don't have the ability to make money like others, so the only thing they can do is to try not to add more burden to the adults in the family.
That night, the Lin family paid for dinner for all the caravan members in the inn lobby as a token of their gratitude.
Although the food in the inn is not exquisite, it includes both meat and vegetables, and is large in quantity and delicious.
Gu Wenxuan and others were of course also invited. A group of more than ten people, the Lin family, and Mu Jinyang sat at three tables.
The Lin family's father and son and Bai Jingzhou accompanied Mu Jinyang, the escort leader, and several small managers in the caravan, drinking tea instead of wine, eating and chatting. Gu Wenxuan, Jia Yuelan, Gu Wenhai, and Gu Wenche sat at a table with the women and children of the Lin family.
Gu Wenxuan and her group ate quickly. After they finished eating, Gu Wenxuan went to ask Fang Youfu and his group, who were in charge of guarding the yard, to come over and eat.
The caravan's men and escorts were also divided into two groups to take turns to sit at the table. While half of them were eating and drinking, the other half were responsible for looking after the carriages, horses and goods in the yard.
During the dinner, Mu Jinyang informed Bai Jingzhou and the Lin family father and son that their caravan would leave early tomorrow morning and head to Haizhou capital to deliver goods.
He told Bai Jingzhou the address of one of the shops of their Mu family in Haizhou. "Whenever you want to go back, take the token given by our master and go to our Mu family shop in Haizhou. When the shop owner sees the token, he will arrange a caravan for you to go back together."
Bai Jingzhou thanked them again and again. After everyone returned to their respective residences, he took people to deliver a lot of local gifts that they had bought in Jinan Prefecture and Huairen County to the caravan.
