Chapter 1224: Friend or Foe (4)
Little Treasure and the others exchanged tea leaves and satin for some fur and medicinal herbs, and paid for some goods with silver. In the meantime, they also obtained a lot of information from the stall owner.
When Wen San returned with two guards, the three of them were also carrying a lot of goods. This way, their purchase was almost 50% completed. Little Treasure was very satisfied with this and returned to the inn happily with them.
A guard gave Wen San a piece of silver and instructed, "Come here again tomorrow. You may go back for now."
Wen San’s eyes widened when he saw the silver. He’d thought that it would be good enough if he could get 100 copper coins or so and certainly did not expect to receive silver worth slightly over one tael.
The guard patted his shoulder and turned around to return to the inn. The atmosphere in the inn was a little strange.
The innkeeper said to the guards apologetically, "I have to apologize. The inn is currently facing a shortage of rooms, and the guests who came are all esteemed guests. I only hope that the two young masters can give up two superior rooms. How about I charge you 10% less?"
The guards were displeased and said with a dark expression, "Do we look like people who lack money?"
"Yes, yes. Of course, I’m sure the young masters do not lack money. I’m really sorry..."
Before the guard could say anything else, Little An said, "Alright, let them have two rooms. You guys squeeze a little and make do."
After saying that, he and Little Bear turned around and went upstairs with the guards.
