7. (vii)

According to Su Muxian's estimate, Xiao Er's trip will take half a day to come back. After persuading Miss Zhao to leave, she sat down and drank a cup of tea, and only turned a few pages of the book in her hand, when she saw Jiang Yuanzhong roaring from outside like a lost dog.

Su Muxian: "......"

Su Muxian: "Jiang Yuanzhong, are you being chased by dogs?" ”

Jiang Yuanzhong's handsome face flushed slightly from the continuous running, leaned against the door and rested for a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "I'd rather be chased by dogs." ”

He looked out, and then said to Su Muxian, "I'll go up to your room to hide." ”

Su Muxian said: "Who are you hiding here?" Didn't Zhao Yuanwai's daughter just leave? ”

Even if Miss Zhao left, it had only been half an hour now, and Jiang Yuan should not hide from her. Oh, no......

Su Muxian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did Miss Zhao see you on the way back?" ”

When he mentioned this, Jiang Yuanzhong felt that he was really unlucky. In order to avoid the Miss Zhao family, he deliberately ran to the most lively place on the street, and was talking to the stall owner who sold jewelry, when he suddenly heard the commotion around him and looked back, this look didn't matter, but it was Miss Zhao, who was still wiping her tears, to see him.

Miss Zhao threw the veil away, and the whole person smashed towards Jiang Yuanzhong like a human cannonball.

"Jiang Lang, I think you're thinking so hard......"

When she ran up, the flesh all over her body was shaking, and she walked like flying, and the stone bricks that had been laid under her feet for many years seemed to be shaken, and the dull sound spread far and wide.

Jiang Yuanzhong turned his head and realized that something was wrong, and before she rushed to her, he threw the hairpin he was playing with into the stall, turned around and ran in the other direction.

After turning several corners, he finally got rid of Miss Zhao and her followers for the time being, and returned to the inn with all his beards.

He was silent and didn't speak, Su Muxian read what happened from his expression, glanced at him sympathetically, and waved his big hand: "Go up and hide, I'll stop it." ”

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, and went upstairs with his handrail.

……

Not long after he left, a group of people suddenly poured into the inn, which was still quiet.

Miss Zhao, who had gone and returned, stood proudly in the middle of the lobby, like a long-necked crane, raised her chin and said unceremoniously to Su Muxian: "Where is my Jiang Lang?" ”

"The second child of our store has something to go out and hasn't returned yet, Miss Zhao wants to look for him, you might as well come back tomorrow." Su Muxian took out the words she had prepared in advance, and replied with a kind smile.

In my heart, I thought what was wrong with this Miss Zhao family, and I didn't want to let go of my fiancΓ© who had been married at home, but I fell in love with Jiang Yuanzhong. Although it is said that her fiancΓ© is a little weaker, compared to her figure, he looks like a white chicken with no hair, but after all, he is still a family friend.

The second child of their family didn't have any three heads and six arms, let alone any family background, at most, his skin was not bad, Miss Zhao, you just let him go.

Su Muxian couldn't help but sigh.

Not long after Jiang Yuan came back to the store, he was somehow seen by Miss Zhao, who sneaked out of the door, and it was love at first sight from then on. If it weren't for Jiang Yuanzhong's unwillingness to take care of Zhao Yuanwai and look down on such a poor boy, I am afraid that he would have been tied up by Miss Zhao and returned to get married.

"I saw him coming in the direction of the inn with my own eyes, can it be fake?" Miss Zhao snorted coldly, "Shopkeeper Su is an acquaintance, don't do something that doesn't know the times." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the family next to her stood up and showed off her muscles, and looked at Su Muxian with black lines on her face.

I really want to kill them how to break.

Su Muxian rubbed the corners of his forehead to remind himself to be calm, fiddled with the abacus impatiently with one hand, and replied in a light tone: "You can tell if you are there or not." I heard that Miss Zhao is going to get married next month, so I am afraid that such an act is inappropriate. ”

Zhao Yuanwai's daughter's wedding date is set for the fifteenth of next month, in order to prevent any moths from being born in the middle, she has been detained at home by Zhao Yuanwai in recent months. If it weren't for the excuse of choosing the rouge used on the wedding day today, she wouldn't have come out so easily.

Su Muxian's voice fell, Miss Zhao's face suddenly became ugly, and she was about to say something, when there was another commotion at the door, and a middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes and a dozen or so guards also entered the inn.

Miss Zhao's unhappy expression froze on her face, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and she called, "Dad......"

Su Muxian was happy when she saw it, she really wanted to see who was coming, she was still muttering to Zhao Yuanwai just now, and she saw it so soon.

She smiled and nodded and greeted, "Zhao Yuanwai." ”

Old man Zhao will not return the courtesy in a proper manner, in his heart, he will not look down on such a place, and he feels that it is unseemly for a woman to show up to do business, so he squinted at Su Muxian, and he shouted angrily: "Shopkeeper Su." ”

Su Muxian responded with a smile, and scolded "Lao Wang Ba" in his heart, but his face was a ball of harmony.

"Zhao Yuanwai and Miss Zhao came to patronize our store, it really makes our store shine, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea together?"

Zhao Yuanwai snorted, the beard on his mouth seemed to tremble with anger, and he turned the jasper wrench on his thumb and said, "There is no need to drink tea, I came to bring this unfilial girl back." He looked at Miss Zhao and instructed the family next to him, "Go and take Miss back to the house." ”

Jia Ding took the order and stepped forward, and Miss Zhao immediately struggled unrelentingly.

"Dad, I don't want to marry that stinky scholar! will only die studying, and I look ugly, I want to marry Jiang Yuanzhong! ”

Her volume was not small, attracting people outside the inn to stop and watch the excitement.

"What a stinky scholar, that's your distant cousin!"

Zhao Yuanwai felt that his old face couldn't hang up, and waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "Cover Miss's mouth too." ”

Jia Ding answered, and soon Miss Zhao was left with only a shout of "woo". Two rough envoys came out from behind Zhao Yuanwai, one by one, lifted Miss Zhao and left.

Onlookers: "......"

That's too simple and crude, isn't it?

Hu Xiaodie appeared beside Su Muxian out of nowhere, watched the twenty or so people leave the inn in a hurry, and said with a complicated expression: "Miss Zhao is really biological?" ”

"Okay, can you look at their bucket-like figures, can they be the same as normal people? At first glance, it is a father and daughter. Su Muxian Nunu mouthed, motioning her to look at the backs of the two, "It is said that Zhao Yuanwai's boss only got a daughter, and she held it in the palm of her hand as a treasure since she was a child, and she was afraid of melting in her mouth." If it weren't for the fact that he didn't look down on Jiang Yuanzhong's identity, what you would see now would not be the shopkeeper but the son-in-law of the Zhao Mansion. ”

Mentioning Jiang Yuanzhong, Su Muxian turned his head and shouted upstairs: "People are gone, you come down." ”

As soon as he finished shouting, Xiao Er stepped down from downstairs, looked around the empty inn, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, when he came back, he took a trip to Zhao's mansion and quietly handed the news that Miss Zhao had gone out of the mansion to make trouble again to Zhao Yuanwai, otherwise Master Zhao would not have appeared so timely.

Thinking that his reputation in his life was almost ruined in the hands of an ordinary woman, Jiang Yuanzhong couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"Okay, okay, don't look like you're going to die or live." Su Muxian said, "Then Miss Zhao will get married soon, and then you won't have to worry about it all day long." ”

After that, she stared at his face with disgust and commented, "Woe water." ”

Jiang Yuanzhong: ...... Blame me for being good-looking.

"The backyard is busy repairing the kitchen, so if you're free, go and help." Su Muxian turned the script to the page he had read before, and said to Jiang Yuanzhong in an indifferent tone.

After a pause, she looked up at Hu Xiaodie, who was bored on the side, and kindly said, "Tang Yuyi is also doing coolies, you can help share the burden." ”

Hu Xiaodie nodded happily and replied, "Okay." ”

Seeing the two walk into the backyard, Shopkeeper Su took a sip of the tea that had already been cold, and suddenly remembered one thing - Hu Xiaodie and Tang Yuyi are helping out in the inn from time to time these days, do you want to pay them some wages?

This question flashed through her mind, and she was immediately thrown aside.

Forget it, Tang Yu has not finished the account of blowing up the kitchen.

……

The kitchen was blown up, and the inn naturally couldn't do business.

Fortunately, it was the off-season recently, and there were not many customers, so Su Muxian simply hung a wooden sign in front of the door saying "Our store is closed for half a month" and decided to give herself a good holiday.

The inn is not open, and you still have to eat when you get to the meal.

Su Muxian returned to the inn with the dishes packed from Yingxian Building, reloaded the dishes, and shouted to the backyard to call everyone out. A few people sat down at the table, and just as they were about to put down their chopsticks, the door was slammed urgently.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know who will pick this time. There is a sign on the door that says it is closed, so it is impossible to be a guest.

Tang Yu put down his chopsticks and said affirmatively: "It must be Mr. Lu." ”

Mr. Lu is also an extremely mysterious person, before Murong Jingxue left this morning, he also left with a small burden, saying that he was going to collect wind and visit an old friend who lived in the suburbs by the way.

When he left, he didn't say how many days he would go, nor did he say when he would return, so it was not surprising that the person who knocked on the door was him.

Wang Meng shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Listening to the sound of the door tapping is rapid and powerful, it seems to be done by a young man." Mr. Lu is almost old, and he will definitely not be the same hairy boy. ”

"Maybe it's the guests who came to stay overnight. It's not impossible that you didn't pay attention to the sign on the door when it was dark. Hu Xiaodie said.

"I don't think it'......"

The three of you discussed it word by word, each with their own opinions, and no one could convince anyone.

Su Muxian looked at them speechlessly and said, "Don't you know who it is when you open the door and take a look?" ”

Before the words fell, the person outside the door shouted eagerly: "Shopkeeper Su, open the door for me!" ”

Jiang Yuanzhong silently got up and opened the door.

……

Outside the door was a little beggar dressed in a down-and-out manner, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a face as dirty as his body, only a pair of eyes that were black and white, dripping and turning, revealing a bit of cleverness.

The person who came was Yang Xiaoliuzi, a beggar on the street.

As for why he is called Yang Xiaoliuzi, there are many sayings in the neighborhood, and the most acceptable one is that his real surname is Yang, and he was the sixth in the family before he became a beggar.

Everyone said so, and Su Muxian also believed it, and didn't think about verifying the truth or falsehood, so he followed the crowd and called it until now.

Yang Xiaoliuzi's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and then stared at the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "It seems that I happened to meet Shopkeeper Su for dinner." ”

When Su Muxian heard this, he said to Xiao Er: "Bring him a pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”

Yang Xiaoliuzi raised a smile and said again and again: "Thank you Shopkeeper Su for letting me get wet." Saying this, the action was not polite at all, and he pulled out the stool and sat down.

Although he looks dirty, fortunately, his movements are quite regular. couldn't figure out the relationship between Su Muxian and him, Wang Meng and Hu Xiaodie naturally didn't have any opinions on him, and even Tang Yuyi, who had always had a habit of cleanliness, only frowned and remained silent.

Jiang Yuanzhong handed him the bowl and sat down next to Su Muxian.

Su Muxian looked at Yang Xiaoliuzi, who was eating happily, and asked, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, what are you doing with me?" ”

There are three religions and nine streams on the rivers and lakes, and there are mixed fish and dragons. Yang Xiaoliuzi seems to be an ordinary beggar on the surface, but secretly he is engaged in the profession of a wind medium, is well-informed, and often makes a living by selling intelligence.

Su Muxian used to have some kindness to him, and he would send her some news from time to time in return, and today he would definitely not simply come to eat.

Yang Xiaoliuzi buried his head and replied inarticulately: "I got two messages. ”

"What's the news?"

"One of them has something to do with the inn."
