Chapter 1924 The Knife I Can’t Hold, You Can’t Let Go: Jin Yiwei 8
"After I deliver the water to Song Xu, why don't you come with me to see the landlady?" Xi Ying said to the fat man, "I don't know what the landlady wants from me, I'm a little scared."
"It's not a big deal, and I'm definitely not criticizing you. Don't be nervous or worried. Just go see the boss lady with a normal heart." The fat man comforted Xi Ying.
In fact, the landlady didn't ask him to find Xi Ying at all, and the reason why he said this was just to prevent Xi Ying from seeing Song Xu again.
Song Xu was a colleague in the Jinyi Guards, and his official rank was only one level lower than that of the Commander!
The commanders in the Jinyi Guard usually serve in front of the emperor, so Tongzhi is basically the one with the highest official rank in the Jinyi Guard!
The nervousness and fear in Fatty’s heart!
There is only one commander and two tongzhi.
A fellow scholar, Song Xu, showed up at their inn, hoping that another fellow scholar, Xu Yiqiu, would not come with him!
But I heard that Xu Yiqiu and Song Xu have a very good relationship...
"Then why don't you wait until I finish delivering the water and come with me and wait outside?" Xi Ying continued.
The fat man shook his head in embarrassment: "Xiaoying, you have also seen that I still have a lot of things to do in the kitchen. It won't take too long to bring you water, but if I go to the landlady's with you, it will take a long time. It takes a lot of time. It’s not that I don’t want to go with you. If nothing happens now, I will go to the landlady’s place with you even if you don’t tell me.”
Fatty's words let Xi Ying know that she had to find the boss's wife herself.
"Okay, then please help me bring these two bottles of water to Song Xu's room. Room Tianzi No. 1 on the second floor. Just put the water bottle on the table outside after entering."
Seeing that his trick worked, the fat man nodded repeatedly.
Although he was also scared in his heart, he would rather go on his own than let Xi Ying take risks again.
After all, Xi Ying is a girl and he is a man.
And Xi Ying is still the girl he likes.
The fat man took two pots of water and walked out of the kitchen, while Xi Ying hesitated in the kitchen.
She didn’t know where the boss’s wife lived or what she looked like.
It's better to wait until the boss's wife comes to scold her and come to find her.
It’s also not easy to make mistakes.
Having made up her mind, Xi Ying walked out of the kitchen and walked towards the stables.
That was her "residence", and she had to dry the straw during the day so that she could stay warm at night.
Xi Ying returned to the stable and held the straw she had fallen asleep on when she woke up into the sunshine outside.
Although it is still relatively early, it can be seen that the weather is good today.
Just after Xi Ying took out the last handful of straw and put it away, she heard a heroic yet charming voice.
"Is there anyone? Boss? Waiter?"
The sound came from far to near. It was obvious that he didn't see anyone in front, so he walked towards the back door.
Xi Ying opened the back door and saw a girl in red, holding a black horse with steam coming from its nose.
Her skin is whiter than snow, and her red clothes flatter her.
Her ponytail is clean and neat, and her heroic eyebrows are a bit like a girl's appearance.
"Hello." The girl saw Xi Ying opening the door and greeted her very politely.
Xi Ying did not look down upon her at all just because she was wearing shabby clothes and her face was dusty.
"Hello, do you want to stay at the hotel?" Xi Ying fulfilled her obligation as a servant of the inn.
