C449 Scenic View Tower
As soon as the introduction is done, the guy immediately joins in his account book.
Yici saw his very familiar bookkeeping technique and admired him very much. It was very obvious that this debt was placed on Yici's head. No matter where she chose, she had to pay this debt.
That was why she found out that this place was really rich. The floor was made of limestone, and the wooden tools were made of red pine wood. There was no need to talk about carving, and it was even more exquisite and extraordinary.
Every shop assistant and maidservant wore the same uniform. Although they wore the same uniform, it was obvious that the decorative items on each person were cheap and expensive. However, if one were to casually take one out, it would be worth the expenses of an ordinary family for one to two months.
Yici looked at them and then looked at herself. Suddenly, she felt a sense of inferiority and could not help but sigh, "Looks like I am even poorer than them!"
Fortunately, those shop assistants, the maidservants would not look down on anyone who dared to step into this place.
She brought Yici to the selection area and followed behind the waiter. From time to time, she would sigh with emotion. Not to mention that she had seen all kinds of treasures in the Palace, coming here today had also opened her eyes.
"Is there no one to manage it? This should be enough to buy a city, right?" She muttered to herself.
Soon, they arrived at a room. There was a long queue outside the door, but it seemed that the people queuing were all servants. There were very few other wealthy people lining up.
They saw that the queue was about to reach sunset. Yici immediately lost interest when it was her turn. She did not bring anyone to line up either. She was very regretful that she had angered Yan Er and made him leave. Otherwise, she could still make him line up here.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard a voice from the room. "Next!"
Yici retracted her gaze and looked at the many people in front of her. She turned around and left...
After taking a few steps, she was stopped by the job of leading the way, "Young Master, please follow me!"
"Me?" He pointed at himself in disbelief.
The man smiled at him and nodded slightly.
"Did I get lucky? Haha..." Yici was incomparably happy in her heart as she followed that person.
She even turned around to look at those people in front of her. With a proud expression that said 'I have backers, I will cut the queue', she left and entered that small room.
There was only one table in the room and there was only one person sitting behind the table. His appearance was very ordinary, but he gave off a kind feeling. There was an account book on the table, a brush, ink, and inkstone. This was Yici's first image, and the next image was on the wall of the house. There were many paintings hanging on the wall, and every one of them was clearly marked. Which room, which floor, and what items were there. What could be seen?
A dazzling array of items hung on the wall. Of course, there were also some that had been taken away, leaving behind a blank mark of time.
Yici looked over and found that it was just as that person said, there were fewer people living on the 10th floor and above. So as time passed, there was a layer of dust on the painting, but it did not affect her mood at the moment.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard the old man's calm voice, "Choose one and give the painting to this old man. After paying the bill, return the painting!"
Yici heard this and immediately looked towards him but he did not look up from the beginning to the end. Even when he spoke, he only looked like he only had the account book in his hand. It seemed that he had seen it many times.
He ignored the old man's words and went to pick it up himself. After walking around in a circle, she stopped in front of a painting, but the painting was at the top, so it was not possible to take it down normally.
"I want that!" Pointing at the painting, she turned around and said.
Still not raising his head, he impatiently said, "Take it yourself!"
Yici silently frowned and was extremely dissatisfied with his attitude. But she still had no choice. She jumped up and took off the painting. The painting was not like the other paintings. It was very detailed. However, it wrote the twelfth floor, which depicted the complete picture of the restaurant. There was a woman's back on the twelfth floor, far away. Other than these paintings, there was nothing else. There was no introduction or room number.
She looked around and found that all the rooms on the first to tenth floor were very detailed. After the eleventh floor, it was very simple. She only wrote the number of floors. With a painting, there was nothing else.
She did not know what this was for, so she slammed the painting on the table.
Although the old man looked kind, there were no waves at all. Even when he slammed the table, he was shocked and only said, "Twelve floors, Sky No. 2 Room! A total of five hundred taels..."
Before Yici could make another move, the old man still did not raise his head and said, "Next!"
When Yici heard this, she did not move and said, "I think about it, I want to change!"
The old man still did not raise his head. "No silver taels, you can pay on credit! Next!"
"Who said I don't have silver?" While speaking, he immediately took out the silver notes. However, the moment he put them on the table, the old man picked up the money and put it into his sleeve. "Next!"
Before Yici could figure out what was going on, he took the silver note away.
Just as he was about to retort, the person outside the door saw it clearly. He sighed and said, "Young Master, if you don't take the silver taels back, you will give it to him on your own accord. Usually, when you leave the shop, someone comes to collect it, and you take it out like that. That's him!"
"What?" Yici stared at him with wide eyes, as if that person had taken her things.
"Don't look at me like that. Go out and ask around and you will know. This is the rule!" That servant immediately felt that something was wrong after being stared at by him.
"What kind of lousy place is this?"
Yici saw that it was an old man and really did not have the mood to go to his place to snatch it back. More importantly, she did not even know what was going on before she came to deliver the silver taels. Looking at that old man's technique, it seemed like he often did this kind of thing.
This was clearly a scam. If it was someone from another place, who would dare to come in? She thought that it was a place to pay the bill. He said that he could pay five hundred taels on credit if he couldn't afford it. Didn't she want to prove it to him?
In the end, she fell into the hands of the old man. "What a cunning old fox!"
Yici gave him a fierce look and left. When she came out, the servant was still waiting for her at the door. When she saw that she was holding the painting of the twelfth floor, her expression became even more attentive than before. While giving her a brief description, he brought her to the twelfth floor.
"Young Master, there are only two rooms on this floor, which is equivalent to the entire floor being equally divided with that room. Today, you are the second person to choose this floor, and there is another person who is the same as you. He lives across from you. You are not allowed to enter the other side's area, but you are allowed to view other places by yourself. You can also invite your family and friends to come and watch, but you have to leave before Zi Shi. I have nothing else to tell you, I hope that young master will be able to live comfortably... " He smiled slightly and bowed towards Yici before leaving the twelfth floor.
