Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 527 Is there a room?

These words are actually very serious. Qingqi and Qinghua are both servants of the Zhenbei Marquisate. Their grandfather, father and several generations have worked in the Marquisate.

Compared to Qiu He, who had just married into the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion with Qian, it still had a deterrent effect. Old Madam Pei was also worried that Hua Lei was too shy to say some things, so she assigned Qing Qi and Qing Hua to serve Hua Lei.

"Sister Qinghua is right. I will pay attention to it in the future." Qiu He was very humble and said respectfully. After a pause, Qiu He turned to Qingqi, who seemed to be more easy to talk to, and asked, "I wonder if Sister Qingqi has a vacant room?"

"Ah! I don't know if there are any rooms. Maybe I should ask the stationmaster here." Qingqi answered stupidly.

"Uh..." Qiu He was stunned again. He originally thought that Qingqi was a smart person, but now it seems that he is not. Didn't he even understand the subtext of his own words?

Of course I know there are no rooms in the inn, so I asked this because I want you to vacate the room. Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Qiu He was very depressed.

"Oh, Qinghua, Madam's clothes haven't been dried yet. Let's get to work quickly. Otherwise, Madam will have nothing to change into.

"Sister Qiu He, we are leaving first." Qing Qi pulled Qing Hua's arm and left in a hurry. Qiu He was left standing there dumbfounded.

The matter was soon reported to Hualei.

Hualei hesitated for a while, feeling that it was difficult to do. At that time, considering the carriages of other families following behind, Hualei only asked for five rooms except the large bunk room at the back.

She and Rong Jin had one room, and Zhenzhu and her husband had another. The remaining three rooms were occupied by more than 20 maids and servants from the two marquisates, who slept on the floor.

The room in the post station was not big to begin with, with seven or eight people sleeping on the floor and some boxes and supplies piled up, it was already very crowded. If two rooms were to be vacated, there would only be one room left.

Not only did the maids and servants have to fold up their things to sleep that night, but there was also no place to put the pile of things. There were already several boxes and crates piled up in the two rooms of herself and Zhenzhu, and there was no more space.

Hualei was a little embarrassed for a moment. She couldn't just let the maids and women who followed her sleep outside, right? It was raining, so that was definitely not possible.

If someone gets sick, it will be troublesome. This place is in the middle of nowhere and there is no shop nearby. It is easy to get killed. However, it seems unreasonable not to move any of the houses.

Today, Jiang Yunqi went on duty. After lunch, when it was drizzling, Rong Jin put on an oilcloth raincoat and went hunting in the mountains with a few guards.

She looked at Zhenzhu who was also looking at her, "Sister-in-law, how about this? Let the maids make room for my second sister-in-law and her brother's wife, and let my second sister-in-law sleep in the same room with me tonight? My husband is on duty tonight and will not be in the room."

Hualei thought about it and nodded. Just as she was about to ask Qingqi to go out and inform Qian, there was a knock on the door. Qingqi went to open the door and saw Qian standing outside with a maid. It was not the Qiuhe that Qingqi had seen before.

"Sister-in-law, Sister Zhenzhu, you are all here?" Qian walked in and bowed with a smile.

"Second brother's sister-in-law." "Second sister-in-law." Hualei and Zhenzhu stood up and returned the greetings.

Several people sat down again, and Hualei asked Qingqi to serve tea.

Qian sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup, skimmed off the tea residue, took a sip carefully, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, this tea is the best Hongshan Cloud Tea, right?"

Hualei smiled and nodded, "Yes, my husband likes to drink tea."

Qian nodded and said softly, "When I was in the Marquis' Mansion, I saw that my grandfather also liked to drink this tea."

Hualei nodded. This tea was given to Hualei by her grandmother in Songhe Hall the night before she left. There were two small bags, each weighing half a pound.

I heard it was worth a thousand gold, but Hualei rarely bought tea, so she didn't know the exact price. Rong Jin originally said that both bags would be given to Pei Jingyang.

However, because he was often with Jiang Yunqi, he opened a small packet to treat him, leaving only the other small packet for Pei Jingyang.

"My husband and my second brother also like to drink this tea. However, this tea is too expensive and my husband is reluctant to buy it." Qian took another sip of tea and chuckled.

Looking at Qian, whose words were a little unclear, Hua Lei smiled and said nothing.

Since the person asking for help doesn't say anything and keeps talking about other things, I'll just pretend I don't know. I wouldn't rush to make room for you otherwise.

"This is what grandfather gave to big brother, right? Grandfather was so good to big brother." Qian said in a neutral tone, the content was in the form of a question and answer, and the tone was affirmative.

"Yes, the eldest grandson must be different." Hua Lei said with a smile.

Qian's face changed. Hualei's directness caught her off guard. In a big house, people speak in a reserved manner. Even if they really think so in their hearts, they will not say it directly to someone's face.

Looking at the flower buds, Qian smiled and said, "However, my eldest brother is indeed more promising than my husband, so it is normal for grandfather to favor him."

Hua Lei smiled and nodded, saying, "I also think my husband is excellent. However, if my second brother works hard, there is still a lot of room for improvement."

Qian was once again shocked by Hua Lei's directness. Normally, when hearing such words from her, normal people would be humble.

She said things like "your husband is also excellent, your husband is also very good, very amazing" and so on, why did Hua Lei actually admit that her husband is excellent? This is totally unconventional?

"Sister-in-law is so lucky to have found a good husband like brother." Qian smiled and said, "When the news of brother and sister-in-law's engagement came out, many mistresses and young ladies of noble families in Shangjing City found it incredible!"

Hualei glanced at Qian and was certain that Qian was not the same kind of person as herself. What her grandmother said before she left was true.

This Qian is a self-righteous person with a confused mind. She wanted me to make room for her later, but she came to me and tried to trick me first.

"Really? The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders. There are still many incredible things in this world. A frog in a well cannot talk about the sea, and a summer insect cannot talk about ice. Some people still have too little knowledge." Hua Lei said with a smile.

Pearl bit her lips tightly, for she was afraid that she would laugh out loud uncontrollably.

Qian bit her lips tightly, fearing that she would utter foul language involuntarily. She was just a merchant girl, she was just lucky.

However, no matter how much she was dissatisfied in her heart, she would not show it, so she smiled and said, "Indeed, what the elder sister-in-law said is very right. After all, the elder sister-in-law is really capable."
