Chapter 244: What a Beauty

Qin Ying smiled, "I wonder if Mr. Xu has heard that Madam Huguo will hold a poetry meeting in the newly built garden next month, and she asked me to invite some talented women for her."

Mr. Xu raised his eyebrows, "I see."

"But Miss Gu is just a girl from a common family, her status is too low, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Qin Ying said lightly: "Madam Huguo has long said that as long as you have talent or beauty, you can enter the garden regardless of your status. Since Miss Gu can be praised by Mr. Su, she must have something outstanding. Please tell me, Mr. Xu."

At this point, Mr. Xu couldn't say anything more, "Miss Gu opened an inn, not far east on this street."

Qin Ying bowed to him, "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

With that, she walked out slowly.

A maid standing in the corner hurriedly followed.

Mr. Xu looked at her back and pouted slightly. Who doesn't know? I heard that the headmaster admired Su Chen very much and intended to marry his granddaughter to him.

Of course, this is a rumor, but seeing Miss Qin's behavior, the rumor is probably about 70% accurate.

Qin Ying left the bookstore and did not get on the car, but slowly walked eastward.

She kept an eye on the signs of the shops on both sides of the street. Not long after, she saw a shop with a large frontage. There was a sign with black background and gold characters on the door, "There is an inn".

Qin Ying walked closer, slowed down, and turned her head to look into the inn.

She saw that the furnishings of the inn were novel and exquisite, which was different from the inns she had seen before. There was even a rockery and a pool in the store.

Looking again, she saw a girl sitting at the counter.

She only saw half of her face, her skin was as white as snow, her flesh was smooth, and her black hair was crowed. The girl was embroidering with her head down.

At this time, someone came to talk to her. The girl raised her head and saw a pair of autumn eyes under her willow eyebrows.

Qin Ying couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what a beauty.

She hesitated, stopped at the door for a few seconds, and went straight forward.

Lanzhi was sitting at the counter, talking to Lian'er, "Where did Xiaofei go again? This girl, her hand is injured, and she is not at peace."

It was noon soon, and more guests came to eat in the inn.

Gu Fei injured her hand today, so she didn't go to the kitchen to help. She sent Lian'er to watch the back, fearing that someone would put something in the dishes during the chaos.

After Wu Guanjia said that, she always felt a little uneasy, wondering what means he was going to use to deal with her.

The business in the store was particularly good today, and the lobby was full.

The store was bustling with customers leaving and coming back. Five or six yamen runners came in and took a look around the store. One of them shouted, "Who is the shopkeeper?"

Gu Fei hurriedly came out from the counter and said, "I am the shopkeeper. I wonder what you want to do for me, brothers."

One of the yamen runners had a mole next to his nose and looked like the leader of the group. He waved the sign in his hand to Gu Fei and said, "We are from the government office. Someone reported that your store is harboring criminals from the imperial court. We are going to search it now."

Gu Fei was startled and smiled apologetically. He secretly handed the man a silver ingot of ten taels and said, "Brothers, it's not true. We have checked the pass for all the guests staying in the store and registered them carefully. You can look at the registration book."

The man waved his hand and didn't take the silver. He sneered and said, "I'll look at the book later. Let's search first!"

He waved his hand and the yamen runners behind him shouted to the guests who were still eating, "The government is here to do business. Stay away!"
