"I know," Qin'er said, having followed Qing Luan for so many years, she had developed a certain presence. She was aware that the Shopkeeper looked down on her, but she didn't lose her temper. Instead, she calmly took out five taels of silver from her purse and placed them on the counter, speaking gently, "Two rooms for a few days, though I haven't decided how long." It was pointless to argue with someone who relied on their connections.
Seeing a mere maid produce five taels of silver to book rooms, the Shopkeeper scoffed disdainfully, muttering, "Hmph, acting all high and mighty. Just because you can afford a room doesn't mean you can afford to eat here." Many people came in flaunting their wealth only to be thrown out in the end.
Qin'er merely shot him a glance, too tired to engage with him.
Suddenly, a sweet voice interrupted the strange atmosphere between Qin'er and the Shopkeeper. "Shopkeeper, I'll take five rooms," she said, placing a hundred taels of silver directly on the counter. She shot a cold glance at Qin'er, who stood alone nearby, raising her chin arrogantly as if looking at anyone else would tarnish her status. Her expression was utterly contemptible.
The Shopkeeper, who had been dragging his feet until now, perked up at the mention of five rooms and the sight of a hundred taels. His eyes lit up as he plastered on a sycophantic smile and greeted her warmly. "Miss, please wait a moment; I will prepare everything for you right away!"
"Shopkeeper," Qin'er interjected, unable to contain her frustration at being blatantly ignored. "Surely there’s some order to this business?"
"What order?" The Shopkeeper dismissed her with a wave of his hand. "Let me tell you, all our rooms are booked. Take your measly silver and go look elsewhere." Hmph! Trying to show off here without knowing your place.
"What do you mean by that?" Qin'er had been holding back against his disdainful attitude, but now that he was openly ignoring her, she couldn't hold it in any longer. She glared at him fiercely. "I'm here to do business; I have silver! Why won't you give me a room?"
"Miss," the Shopkeeper replied nonchalantly, thinking that since she hadn’t reacted angrily before, she wouldn’t mind now. However, seeing her raise her voice so loudly threatened the reputation of his establishment. He lowered his tone and advised her softly, "Besides, you can't afford to stay here anyway. It would be best if you left quietly and didn’t cause any trouble."
"Hmph! Coming to Tianxiang Restaurant without silver? How shameless!" The beautiful young lady sneered after successfully driving away someone without money. "What’s wrong? Do you want me to give you some?"
"Miss, don’t bother arguing with someone like her," the Shopkeeper said nervously, eager to avoid unnecessary trouble as he continued to flatter her. "Here are the keys to your rooms; please enjoy."
"Miss?" Qin'er stood by without getting angry; however, her voice was just loud enough for both of them to hear. "Only maids run errands like this; what kind of lady would come personally to book rooms at an inn? Even my lady knows better than that—she sends her maid for such things. How could there be a lady who doesn’t know this?" After saying this, she shook her head and nodded as if affirming her own point.
"Damn it, what do you mean?" The young lady who had just turned around to ask for the key was angry. Her originally bright and beautiful facial features became a little distorted because of her anger. Her sharp and vicious eyes fell on the tricky maid in front of her, and she wanted to poke her directly with her eyes. Dead people. "You dare to insult me, are you impatient?" Qing Luan knew what was going on here, but she stopped A-Song from moving. Looking at Qin'er's wise and foolish performance, A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: Qin'er is getting more and more sinister, and a child can be taught. "Shopkeeper, if you don't give me this room today, I won't leave," Qin'er didn't bother to pay attention to people's shouting, and stared at the Shopkeeper and let out a soft and meaningful voice. The smile makes Shopkeeper’s scalp numb. "Hey, you still want to live in a house without money. Who is your lady? Why are you so shameless? I have taught you to be so shameless and virtuous Girl. You really have no tutor!" The harsh words came out of the lady's mouth easily. Overflowing, as if these are ordinary words, said as if drinking water. "Shopkeeper, what's wrong with today's incident?" Qin'er continued to act like someone fart, chasing Shopkeeper and not letting it go. Originally this matter had nothing to do with Nosy, but she insisted on getting involved, which is really disgusting. Shopkeeper looked at the two people in front of him in embarrassment, one was aggressive and the other was calm and composed. He felt miserable in his heart and regretted that he had underestimated this seemingly ordinary but sharp-tongued maid. Her aura completely overwhelmed the young lady next to her who was throwing money at people. Her temperament was not what an ordinary maid should have, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. "Girl, I'm just making a living, please don't make things difficult for me," Shopkeeper began to beg for mercy. He knew that it was impossible to get back the key that had been given away from the Young Lady. So I can only pray that the gentle and kind-hearted girl in front of me can let me go. "You know you're a bastard, do you need to be so arrogant?" Qin'er is not a kind person in his eyes. The young lady said that being kind to the enemy means being sorry for yourself, so she won't do such stupid things. . "You...," Shopkeeper, who originally wanted to resolve the matter, became angry after hearing her humiliating words. In the capital, who wouldn't give him some face? You know what's going on in Tianxiang Restaurant Everything is decided by him. Only the ungrateful woman in front of him dares to humiliate himself and deny himself face, so don't blame yourself for being rude. "Come here, throw the troublemaker out..." As soon as Shopkeeper finished speaking, two strong men with ferocious faces came over and headed straight for Qin'er. "Pa bang bang...," the sudden sound of applause aroused everyone's curiosity, and the noise just now also aroused the crowd of people coming and going at the door, and the door was gradually surrounded by people. "It's really exciting," Qing Luan clapped his hands and walked over slowly, smiling and saying, "I watched a show where a dog fights a man for free when I first arrived in the capital. It's really amazing!"
"You... who are you?" The Shopkeeper's face darkened as he realized she was with the maid who had booked the room. His tone turned unfriendly. "This is not a place you should be messing with. You'd better leave quickly, or don't blame me for being rude."
"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that I've learned that Tianxiang Restaurant only allows those with enough silver to stay," Qing Luan said with a smile that seemed harmless, but her words were sharp enough to make one want to spit blood. "Qin'er, let's go. We've seen enough of the show; it's time to find a place to stay!"
"Ah, oh!" Hearing her mistress's words, Qin'er quickly stepped forward to retrieve the five taels of silver from the counter. She shot a fierce glare at the arrogant Shopkeeper before following her mistress out.
"That silver is dirty; just throw it away!" Qing Luan said as she reached the door and turned back to look at Qin'er, who had taken back the silver, giving her a calm instruction.
