Chapter 49 - 49 So this is Old Master Qin’s Type?

49 So this is Old Master Qin’s Type?

Now that they had money, they could afford to stay in any high-grade relay station. With money in their pockets, they had a strong backbone.

“Alright,” he said.

Ji Xiaoying nodded her head vigorously, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

The attendants at the gate couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her. She was young and beautiful like a lily with dewdrops on it. Seeing her smile made them feel happy.

!!

“Prepare two superior rooms and bring hot water and a bath barrel.”

Li Wu entered the room and instructed the staff at the relay station. The relay station had a dedicated attendant and attendant. Anyone who could be a attendant had to have an official position. When he heard that Old Master Qin had come, the relay station’s manager respectfully welcomed him at the door.

Seeing the two beautiful village girls following behind Old Master Qin, the attendant’s eyes flickered, and his gaze on them had a deeper meaning.

‘So Old Master Qin likes girls like them?’ The attendant was not surprised. He had seen it many times. The majority of old men who held high positions liked young and tender girls the most. They usually had countless concubines.

It seemed that the rumors in the court that Old Master Qin was not interested in women were false, and he was just a sanctimonious hypocrite.

The attendant cursed in his heart, but he still had a respectful expression on his face. He bowed all the way and invited Old Master Qin to the second floor.

There was a limited number of superior rooms in the relay station. There were only two rooms in total. Since Old Master Qin had come, he naturally had to give him the best room.

The room on the east side of the second floor offered a good view and beautiful scenery. From afar, one could see the Green Mountain Range and the bustling street.

Old Master Qin was very satisfied with this room. The attendant could see that the old master was satisfied from his expression and smiled as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.

“Old Master Qin, I’ll have a guard bring you some hot water. If you don’t want to go out to eat, I’ll have the guard bring the food to your room. If you want to go out to eat, go downstairs and turn left, and you’ll see the largest restaurant in Jincheng, full moon restaurant. The chef there is a Royal Chef with excellent cooking skills. His best dish is steamed West Lake fish. The meat is fresh and tender, and it’s really excellent.”

The attendant started to be very attentive, trying to leave a good impression on Old Master Qin. As long as Old Master Qin said a good word, he would no longer be a small attendant.

“Alright, find another room for these two girls.”

Old Master Qin nodded his head slightly. He was used to seeing people who flattered him and was already used to it. He pointed at Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying and asked the attendant to find them a room.

“Yes, yes,”

The attendant didn’t dare to disturb them any longer and quickly nodded and bowed in agreement. He spoke politely to Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying,

“Ladies, please follow me.”

Su Qing and Ji Xiaoying followed the attendant to the upper room on the west side of the second floor. The post Master opened the door and made an inviting gesture with a smile on his face, “Young lady, please come in.”

By observing their expressions, the attendant determined that these two girls were not the women that Old Master Qin wanted to take into the manor as concubines. Old Master Qin was very respectful to them.

So even though Su Qing was wearing that haphazardly sewn clothing, the attendant didn’t dare to neglect her.

“Send two bath barrels over, and the water needs to be a little warmer.”

Su Qing looked around the room and ordered the attendant without turning her head.

“Yes.”

The attendant nodded in agreement and thoughtfully closed the door for them.

He was sure that this girl was not an ordinary person. She had a strong aura and was unaffected by flattery or humiliation. That coldness could only be found in people who were ruthless enough, making people not dare to disobey her orders.

“Sister, this bed is so soft.”

Ji Xiaoying held it in all the way until the attendant had left. In an instant, she happily ran to the big bed, removed her shoes, and climbed onto it. She sat on the bed and bounced around excitedly.

“It’s good that you like it,”

Su Qing walked over and opened the window. Outside the window, there was a bamboo forest that was very elegant. She liked this room, it had a kind of tranquility that was far away from the hustle and bustle.

There was a soft knock on the door.

“Guest, I’m here to deliver some warm water for your bath.”

“Come in.”

Su Qing instantly wiped the smile off his face. She turned around and her expression became cold again as she ordered.

The door was pushed open and two soattendantcarried a large bath barrel into the room. Ji Xiaoying quickly got off the bed and hid behind Su Qing like a kitten who had made a mistake.

A smile appeared on Su Qing’s face. She pulled her to a chair and ordered the guard to make a pot of tea for her.

They had been drinking cold water the entire time now they had finally found a chance to drink tea.

“Yes!” the soattendanteplied. Soon, someone carried in a large bath barrel. The soattendantpoured hot water into the barrel, and the room was instantly filled with steam.

“Miss, please have some tea. This is the tea made by our shop. Please have a taste.”

The attendant carried a tray into the room. There were two plates of exquisite Jiangnan pastries on the tea tray. After placing the tea and refreshments, the messenger bowed respectfully and left to close the door.

“Big sister, this pastry looks so delicious.”

Ji Xiaoying looked at the two plates of refreshments with a fervent gaze. There was a soft golden cake and a crispy Osmanthus pastry. She had never even seen one before, let alone eat it.

“Eat!”

Su Qing smiled and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake. Ji Xiaoying only dared to pick up a piece of cake for herself after seeing that Su Qing had eaten. Her eyes lit up after she took a bite and she exclaimed excitedly at Su Qing, “Sister, it’s delicious. It’s really yummy.”

Su Qing’s mood lightened up when she saw her happy smile. She pushed the plate of soft cakes over and said, “You can have them all.”

Ji Xiaoying was not that selfish. She picked up a piece of cake and put it to Su Qing’s mouth. She said coyly, “Siister, eat too.”

Su Qing was touched by the warmth and lowered her head to take a bite. Ji Xiaoying impatiently asked her, “Sister, isn’t it delicious?”

“It is.”

Su Qing nodded. The tea at this inn was not bad. It was sweet but not overwhelming and had many layers to it. Even she, who didn’t have a sweet tooth, thought it was good.

Ji Xiaoying was elated to see that Su Qing thought the cake was as good as her. She passed the soft cake to Su Qing and picked up a piece of Osmanthus pastry for herself. She shouted at Su Qing as if she had discovered a new continent, “Sister, look, it’s so soft that it’s even breaking!”

Ji Xiaoying was afraid that it would go to waste, so she held the Osmanthus pastry in one hand and bit down on it with the other. The fragrance of the Osmanthus instantly exploded in her taste buds, and Ji Xiaoying was so happy that her eyes widened.

“Sister, this is delicious too.”

...

Su Qing smiled and shook his head. He really envied Ji Xiaoying. She was so easily satisfied and always so happy.

The two sisters finished the two plates of tea and drank a pot of tea. Su Qing undressed and stepped into the tub. The water temperature was just right, not too hot to the point of being unbearable. It was very comfortable to soak in.

Su Qing closed her eyes in the hot air. When she was a God of War, she liked to take a hot bath every time he came back from killing. Only in hot water could he sleep well.

“Big sister, there are still flower petals in the tub. It’s so fragrant.”

Hearing Ji Xiaoying’s excited voice, Su Qing opened her eyes and saw Ji Xiaoying holding a flower petal in her hand and looking at her excitedly.

The head attendant was considerate and placed flower petals in their barrels. The fragrance wafted up into their nostrils as the hot air swirled.

In her previous life, Su Qing didn’t like to add flower petals and essential oils into the water of her bath. But now, When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Smelling good was better than reeking of a pungent odor. Moreover, the fragrance of the flower petals was light, so she could accept it.

The two sisters were soaking comfortably in the bath barrel when someone knocked on the door.
