Chapter 322 A “Famous Innkeeper” Resembling an Ancient Town
"Everyone, come this way, don't get separated. Once everyone is here, we'll go check into our rooms!"
Old Lu's loud voice was extremely penetrating and instantly reached everyone's ears.
The group of people who had been making a ruckus immediately quieted down and moved closer to Old Master Lu, waiting for everyone to arrive.
Before long, Bai Mengran led the last scholar into the [Fairyland].
She was mainly worried that someone might get lost, so she kept a close eye on the number of people outside the door, keeping a close watch on each guest.
"Mr. Lu, everyone has arrived. We may need to wait here for a while. I need to arrange for sightseeing buses to take the guests to the guesthouse in batches."
Bai Mengran walked straight to Old Master Lu's side and explained her pre-conceived plan in detail.
When Old Lu first saw Bai Mengran, a sudden flash of inspiration seemed to pass through his mind, but this inspiration was instantly interrupted by Bai Mengran's rapid-fire words...
After hearing Bai Mengran's arrangement, Lu Weihuai immediately nodded in agreement and then began to organize everyone to line up again in preparation for boarding the vehicle.
At this moment, two sightseeing buses were carrying passengers, and Bai Mengran had already notified the other three sightseeing buses in the backstage to head to her location.
Upon receiving the instructions, the sightseeing bus driver quickly arrived, and everyone boarded the bus in batches. Once the bus was full, it immediately departed for the guesthouse.
"Mr. Lu, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you to handle things here. I need to go to the guesthouse to check on the situation first..."
Faced with this newly built guesthouse that she herself was not yet familiar with, Bai Mengran was really worried and had to go ahead to check it out, otherwise she really wouldn't feel at ease.
"Alright, Miss Bai, please go ahead. I'll stay here and keep an eye on things. I'll get on the bus after everyone else has boarded!"
Old Lu waved his hand at her, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
After giving her instructions, Bai Mengran immediately released her mount from stealth mode, then lightly leaped onto it and sped away, locating the renowned Moxiang Master.
Fortunately, she placed this guesthouse in a relatively secluded location, quite a distance from the entrance.
The speed of her mount far surpassed that of a sightseeing vehicle, so she was still the first to arrive at the guesthouse entrance.
"My goodness, this is truly a great master!"
Bai Mengran looked around, and even though she had prepared herself mentally and knew that this old master was quite large, she was still shocked by its grand scale when she saw it with her own eyes...
This isn't just a famous guesthouse; it's practically a small town!
Although the entire guesthouse area is surrounded by white walls and black tiles, the surrounding area is vast and boundless, with no end in sight, so large that it seems to have no boundaries.
Bai Mengran was the first to catch a glimpse of the breathtaking scene inside through the open gate.
The entire gatehouse-style entrance serves as the gateway to this renowned guesthouse, showcasing a simple yet grand style.
The upturned eaves resemble a roc spreading its wings, dynamic and full of charm, showcasing the elegance of Chinese architecture to the fullest.
The dark tiles are laid out neatly and orderly, complementing the wooden structure perfectly.
The pillars of the gatehouse are sturdy and upright, with clearly visible stone textures, naturally exuding a rustic charm.
The couplets engraved on the pillars are presented in gold on a black background, with elegant and unrestrained calligraphy, exuding a strong cultural heritage.
The plaque hangs high, with elegant and dignified characters that read "Ink Fragrance Masterpiece," which not only indicates the name of the masterpiece but also reveals its unique style and characteristics.
The overall architectural style is consistent with it, drawing on the essence of the ancient town and fully integrating traditional Chinese elements.
It possesses both the graceful charm of an ancient town and a dignified elegance, creating a poetic place to live, especially suitable for literati and scholars.
Bai Mengran stepped inside and was immediately stunned.
This is practically a miniature replica of an ancient town!
The city and the water are built side by side, and awning boats come through the water. Several ancient-style buildings stand in the whole landscape building complex.
Each building is a unique view, with similar styles yet each having its own merits.
Just like a corner of an ancient town, there is even a babbling stream and an exquisite stone bridge between two rows of buildings. To cross it, you have to take a covered boat moored on the water...
Looking around, there were at least dozens of buildings, each about the size of an ordinary guesthouse she had stayed in before.
It's not hard to imagine just how big this whole area of famous historical sites is.
This put Bai Mengran's mind at ease, as she had been worried about whether the group of 100 people could stay there before seeing the guesthouse in person.
With such an extravagant scale, it could probably accommodate two groups of a hundred people each.
Seeing that the first wave of sightseeing buses was about to arrive, Bai Mengran didn't have time to go inside and explore properly, so she could only wait outside the door, intending to take it one step at a time.
At this moment, she was no different from the guests who would be arriving soon; they were all onlookers who knew nothing about the details of the guesthouse's interior.
However, she had already prepared herself mentally, and with the system plugin that she could call at any time, she was more than capable of dealing with guests who also knew nothing about guesthouses.
Soon, the sound of the sightseeing bus's announcement reached her ears, interspersed with exclamations of surprise, indicating that the first sightseeing bus had arrived.
So, Boss Bai, who was still quite unfamiliar with her own famous guests, stood tall and puffed out her chest, looking slightly guilty as she made sure to welcome her distinguished guests.
As the sightseeing bus slowly moved forward, the members of the literary group, who were amazed by the sights along the way, exclaimed in continuous amazement.
While driving, the driver and attendant enthusiastically acted as guides, giving the passengers a general introduction to the shops that already existed in [Fairyland].
The sightseeing bus left the bustling, noisy food street and turned into a secluded alley.
This area is clearly undeveloped. As far as the eye can see, there is only a narrow path for sightseeing vehicles. The path is winding and secluded, and the surrounding area is still shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
But the enthusiasm of the guests on the first bus remained undiminished, and they continued to excitedly discuss what they had seen and heard along the way.
Those bizarre and wonderful shops flashed by, appearing so novel to everyone.
"Ah! There's a way out ahead, look!"
A gasp drew everyone in the car to look, and there it was—the road ended in a breathtakingly open space, giving them a sense of "a new vista opening up after a long and winding road."
"What place is enclosed by those white walls? The scenery is so unique and expansive..."
"From a distance, it does have a bit of the charm of an ancient town in Jiangnan... Could it be that it leads to another town?"
"Mo Xiang... a renowned guesthouse?! Did you see the inscription on that plaque? This... this is actually the so-called renowned guesthouse we're about to check into?!"
His words caused a huge stir, and everyone looked extremely surprised.
What's going on? Are you sure this isn't a small town, but rather the "Ink Fragrance Inn" that Miss Bai mentioned?
Could this really be where they'll be staying tonight? This is absolutely magnificent!
