2.(b)
It was a girl in an aqua blue gauze skirt embroidered with winged butterflies at the corners of the skirt and a light green tassel tied around her waist. Standing on the door, the willow eyebrows are beautiful, the eyes are like autumn water, and the posture is clear and beautiful like a hibiscus flower that has just come out of the water.
What a weak flower-like beauty.
Su Muxian looked at it twice, touched his chin and gave the above conclusion.
"Put away your lewd smile and be careful of scaring people."
Xiao Er's lukewarm voice came from the side, and Su Muxian turned his head and glared at him angrily, in exchange for his indifferent hands. He raised his foot and kicked the stool dragged out by Su Muxian back to its original position, walked up to the girl in blue and said politely: "There are many empty rooms, I don't know which one the girl wants to live in?" β
"There is another room on the sky, the girl chooses this, the lighting is very good! It's the price......" Su Muxian rubbed his hands and walked behind Xiao Er, hehe smiled, stretched out two fingers and compared the slits, "The price, it's a little more expensive." β
The little abacus in her heart crackled, a young woman going out alone must have enough money on her. Looking at her clothes and demeanor, she doesn't look like a poor person, in addition to having two permanent guests, the environment is much better than that of ordinary rooms, and this money should still be willing to spend.
The inn is losing money every month, and if it goes on like this, it should close its doors and drink the northwest wind, and it can be a little bit of a pit in the guest room.
Su Muxian silently praised himself for his wit, and his eyes became even more burning when he looked at the guest.
The girl in blue was about to nod, but for some reason there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor, and the three of them turned their heads to look in unison, only to see a purple back who hurriedly turned away.
"That's the guest who stayed in the second room of Tianzi a few days ago and said that he wanted to stay permanently, right?" Su Muxian tilted his head suspiciously, "What is he doing here?" β
Xiao Er looked at her silently and did not speak.
And the originally soft and weak girl in blue suddenly screamed after seeing that figure, and the whole person rushed out like an arrow off the string, and in the blink of an eye, she climbed to the second floor, chasing the man in purple and disappearing at the end of the stairs.
"Tang Yuyi, you stop me!"
"Oh Mom." Su Muxian looked at her series of numb movements in a daze, and then looked at the shopkeeper who was unresponsive, and spit out a sentence in a daze: "What is this thing?" β
Xiao Er leaned against the door with his hands on his chest, looked at the stairs, yawned slowly and said, "Aren't you still chasing after the shopkeeper?" In case of a fight, the things upstairs will be much more expensive than those underneath. β
Su Muxian didn't believe it: "No......"
"How not? People in the rivers and lakes have no sense of proportion. β
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crackling sound upstairs, so loud that it was thought that the whole building was shaking. Su Muxian only felt that his heart was bleeding when he heard those voices, and he wailed, and rushed upstairs in three steps and two steps.
"Don't fight, two heroes! Our small business can't stand the toss! β
She rushed upstairs and looked over to see that the hallway was neat and tidy, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, except for the two doors of one room, which were wide open outward.
From ancient times to the present, no matter which inn, the door of the guest room is always open inward, and there is no exception.
A hint of foreboding flashed in Su Muxian's heart, and then he saw the door shake slightly, squeak, and fall down overwhelmed, smashing on the ground with a sound like thunder.
Dust and smoke are everywhere.
In the dust, Su Muxian heard the sound of his heartbreak.
- This is a fine pear blossom tree! Pear blossom tree! It's all white flowers and silver taels!
She covered her heart and walked with difficulty, leaning on the lintel and looking in, the good guest room was like a strong wind passing through, and the floor was full of messes. The embroidered smoke-blue down pillow was broken by a sword, and the duck down of the snow was scattered to the ground; The small square table made of ash wood was broken in half, and several broken wood residues on the ground could no longer distinguish which was the table leg and which was the stool leg.
The two windows in the room were wide open, and the wind came in from outside, whining. The window of this room faces south and faces the street, and when you look at the rows of black tile roofs on the opposite side, you can faintly see two figures, one blue and one purple, jumping over it, and it is difficult to distinguish between high and low for a while.
When Xiao Er walked into the guest room unhurriedly, he saw Su Muxian lying on the ground with a helpless face, holding a large piece of eiderdown in both hands, and cried: "Report to the official!" I'm going to report to the police! β
Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"
After a moment of silence, he said: "The government has always only asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. β
Su Muxian grabbed Xiao Er's trouser legs, raised her tearful face, and said aggrievedly: "But I am a good citizen!" Great good people! My heartfelt devotion to the imperial court can be seen from the sun and the moon! Why doesn't the government care about me! β
After speaking, she fell back to the ground and wailed: "What bastard heroes, they are all a group of mountain artillery!" Silly roe deer! I hate this world full of martial arts. β
She just wants to live an ordinary life, is it easy for her to work hard to maintain a broken inn for so long! Why is life still so hard......
Xiao Er tried to lift his legs.
Didn't pull it out.
Lift it up again, and hold it tighter.
After repeating it several times, he gave up struggling, sighed helplessly and said, "Maybe it's not that bad." β
"Wait, wait, what did you say, Jiang Yuanzhong?"
Su Muxian raised his head and stared at him with bright eyes, as if a hungry ghost who had not been stained with meat for seven or eight years finally saw a peerless beauty who was not an inch, and his eyes were hot and explicit.
Rao is Xiaoer has always been very focused, but she was also stared at quite uncomfortable, covered her lips and coughed lightly, pointed to a corner of bright yellow fabric exposed under the quilt at the bedside, and said: "The guest's things have not had time to be taken away, so they will naturally go back to the inn." The shopkeeper only needs to guard this burden, come and wait for the rabbit, and you will definitely be able to wait for someone. β
He said as he looked around the messy guest room and muttered, "As for the loss in this room...... It's not too late for you to wait for him to come, and then ask him for compensation. β
When Su Muxian heard this, he praised without hesitation: "Eh, mother Jiang Yuanzhong, why didn't I find you so smart before!" β
Xiao Er snorted lightly and said, "Don't praise me, every time you finish boasting, you will deduct my points when you pay at the end of the month." β
Su Muxian touched his head and got up from the ground, and said curtly: "Do you look at me like that kind of person?" β
Xiao Er gave her a silent look, patted his sleeve and walked out of the guest room without looking back, needless to say.
Su Muxian: "...... Huh. β
β¦β¦
Before the sun set, the guests who lived in the second room of Tianzi returned to the Jianghu Inn.
To be more precise, he was tied up by a large number of people, stuffed with a cloth ball in his mouth, and thrown directly into the lobby of the inn.
At that time, Su Muxian was at the counter, and when she heard a loud noise close at hand, her hand holding Yang Hao shook, and a drop of ink fell on the account book she was about to write, and in a blink of an eye, it was dizzy. When she looked up, the blue-clothed girl who had asked about the guest room in the morning stood shyly in front of her, wringing an embroidered handkerchief in her two hands.
Su Muxian's heart also trembled, thinking of the girl's fierce roar, and thinking of the mess in the second room of Tianzi, and the voice of the exit was also trembling.
"Girl...... What's the point? β
Hu Xiaodie glanced at the purple-clothed man who fell to the ground and whined, put away the fierceness when beating people, and said softly: "My name is Hu Xiaodie, and this is my fiancΓ© Tang Yuyi." I pursued him for many days, but I didn't expect to suddenly see him here, and I accidentally smashed the shopkeeper's shop, and I was very uneasy. If you agree, I am willing to do my best to compensate. β
Look, what an empathetic girl.
What kind of shrew tigress is this, it is clearly the Nine Heavens Xuannu descending to earth.
Su Muxian looked at her with a smile, and the more she looked at it, the more amiable she felt, and even her appearance when she beat people before couldn't help but beautify a little. The subordinates copied the abacus and dialed it quickly for a while, and finally put down the abacus and were about to speak, when a group of wounded people poured into the lobby in a hurry.
"That's him! Over there! β
"Catch that stinky boy!"
"Let him taste my iron head!"
ββ¦β¦β
In the midst of an angry noise, Su Muxian weakly interjected and asked, "Fathers and fellow villagers, what is this going to do?" β
ββ¦β¦β
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and after a pause, these injured old and young men began to snort again. A fat man with a meaty face and a beard squeezed out of the crowd with a big belly, took Su Muxian's hand and cried: "Shopkeeper Su, ......"
Su Muxian was stunned: "What? β
The fat man raised his hand to wipe his tears, and a big man pointed to the two bags on his head and suddenly showed a trace of grievance: "I just went to the street to buy vegetables today, but this stinky boy with no hair kicked a tile on my head while fighting." β
As he spoke, he stared at Hu Xiaodie, who was standing with his hands down, and Tang Yu, who was screaming, with a fierce look, "That's not all, I haven't taken two steps out of the pharmacy when I saw that they were still fighting, one lifted the vegetable shed at the door, the other kicked down the pillar, and smashed my head again." β
Hearing this, Su Muxian patted him sympathetically on the shoulder: "Eh, Chef Wang, you are ...... No, take care. β
Hu Xiaodie also obediently apologized: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." β
"What's the point of apologizing?"
"Apologize is useful, so what do you have to catch quickly!"
"That's it! Don't you need money to see a doctor? β
"Lose money!!"
ββ¦β¦β
Everyone shouted in unison, seeing that the crowd was boiling, and they were about to stage an all-martial arts at any time, Su Muxian rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache, and handed his eyes for help to Xiao Er, who was leaning against the door with his arms in his hands.
Don't look at Jiang Yuanzhong as just a mediocre shopkeeper, but he is steady and gives people a very reliable feeling. Usually when he encounters any trouble, Su Muxian will subconsciously rely on him, and now it is no exception.
Receiving her gaze, Jiang Yuan closed his eyes, sighed helplessly, and then walked to the crowd and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't worry, listen to me." β
I don't know if he seems quite convincing, as soon as he opened his mouth, the rioting crowd fell silent, silent, and dozens of pairs of eyes stared at him without blinking.
Jiang Yuanzhong glanced around with satisfaction, commanded Hu Xiaodie to stand in front, and said, "This girl and this son are guests of our inn, and the two of them have no intention of hurting anyone, and I am sorry to implicate you." Now this girl sincerely apologizes and is willing to fund everyone to go to the doctor. β
He glanced sideways at Hu Xiaodie and asked softly, "Is it okay, Miss Hu?" β
Hu Xiaodie nodded and said, "Just do as you say." β
"I think you have all heard my words, if there is no doubt about it now, please line up, prepare the amount, and let Miss Hu pay."
Everyone said "no problem" in unison, and quickly lined up.
At this time, Hu Xiaodie's generosity is revealed. Regardless of whether the other party opened her mouth or not, she simply took out the money neatly, without any hesitation, and looked at the shopkeeper Su, who had been poor recently, for a long time before she spit out a sentence of emotion.
"It's good to be rich."
Chef Wang was the last in line, took the silver taels and stuffed them into his pocket, followed the others out, walked two steps as if remembering something, turned around and took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and pressed it to the counter.
Su Muxian looked down and saw that the word "letter of appointment" was clearly written on the paper in black and white, which was the one she wrote at the door of the inn three months ago.
"Chef Wang, what are you doing here?"
"Shopkeeper Su, since I came to your inn, my body has been getting worse day by day. As the saying goes, a fire at the city gate affects the fish in the pond, and I have been injured in five of my heads in the past three days, which is really not a problem. The inn temple can't accommodate me, you, or please be smart. β
Chef Wang sighed, shook his head and didn't want to say more, turned around and walked away lonely.
Su Muxian also stretched out his hand in the direction of Chef Wang's departure, and after a while, he lowered his arm dejectedly, slammed his head on the side of the counter and said weakly: "He's gone...... Who's in charge? β
Can an inn without a chef still be opened? This is clearly the rhythm of closing.
Su Muxian sighed deeply, the straight road has a lot of luck in the future.
Hu Xiaodie twisted her handkerchief, looking cautious and afraid to speak, and kicked Tang Yuyi with her toes in a place that others couldn't see. Tang Yu was in pain, and because he was stuffed with a cloth ball, he could only let out a "whoop" scream.
Hu Xiaodie looked at it and hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper Su, this guy said that he was willing to atone for his sins." β
"Woo...... Woowoo woo ......"
Su Muxian slowly raised his head, looked at Tang Yuyi's delicate face like a little white face, and said suspiciously: "He can cook?" β
"Woo...... Woo woo woo woo ......" howl of unknown meaning.
Hu Xiaodie secretly twisted a small piece of soft meat around his waist, with a soft smile on his face, and said softly, "Want to come...... It should not be bad. β
Su Muxian listened, slapped the table and said, "Then let him try." β
