Chapter 54: The Original Meaning of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
It was nearly dusk, and before they could get from the street to the end of the street, the vendors began to close their stalls. Lu Shiqi seized the opportunity, "Let's hurry back to the inn." You see, the people are gone, and there is nothing to see. ”
Leng Ruolan swept the entire street back and forth, and indeed, everyone packed up their things and went home one after another. Unlike in my own world, the streets are bustling at this time. Xiao Cui, who still wanted to go to the stall selling headdresses next to her, was cleaned up by the bosses, why did she run over? "Let's hurry up and go to where we live, I'm hungry too." His eyes looked at Yu Chixuan.
Xiao Cui's gaze was glued to those headdresses, and she responded in vain, "Oh, oh, Miss is hungry, then let's hurry to the inn." "My feet are still in the direction of the stall, but I stubbornly move forward, as funny as I am.
"Don't look at it, go back and have a good rest, and come back tomorrow." When Yu Chixuan saw Xiao Cui's appearance, he unconsciously restrained his coldness and became soft.
Xiyu pulled Xiao Cui over, this girl is getting more and more presumptuous, no big or small, "Uncle said that I will let you come out tomorrow, you are not serious, if you are hungry Miss, how will I treat you when I see it!" ”
As soon as Xi Yu said, Xiao Cui was really honest, and said to Yu Chixuan, "Aunt Xie." Then he obediently followed the group of people straight to the inn, but his eyes kept peeking at the shops on both sides of the road.
"Xiaocui, when the master is rested, I will take you out tomorrow to have a good time." Only Lu Shiqi spoke so lightly, looking at Xiao Cui with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a smile.
Xiao Cui's eyes lit up, she became excited and forgot about her humility, and rushed up to grab Lu Shiqi's hand that didn't hold the horse, "Young Master Lu, is what you said true?" You're going to take me out to play tomorrow?! ”
Lu Shiqi looked at his hand, "Hmm! Xiao Cui "hehe" smiled and let go, and did not forget to smooth out the wrinkled sleeves that were scratched by himself for him. "Young Master Ben is a good talker, it depends on whether he can rest well tonight." His face changed, he pretended to be pitiful, and lamented, "Alas, I haven't found a place to eat so late, and I don't know how long it will take to take a hot shower and go to bed, I'm really worried that I won't even be able to rest tonight." ”
"Why can't you rest! Let's go, let's go quickly, we will be able to get to the inn soon, and when you get to the inn, if Young Master Lu has any instructions, Xiao Cui will definitely make you energetic tomorrow. ”
"Poof." Zhang Ruitai suddenly laughed out loud, seeing that everyone was looking at him, "Ahem." Pretending to cough naturally, he said with a smile, "Little Cui girl, do you know where the inn is?" "It's coming soon, and when it comes to playing, I don't care about anything.
"Hehe," Xiaocui smirked, "Mr. Zhang, you lead the way." Young Master Lu, don't worry, let's hurry up, we'll be there soon! ”
Everyone was amused by her look. Leng Ruolan covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay, don't talk about it, hurry seriously." Although the words seemed to be a command, the tone and expression were full of pampering.
Zhang Ruitai glanced at Leng Ruolan, and after a few days of observation, he found that Leng Ruolan was very gentle to the two maids around him, especially this Xiaocui, who reached the point of spoiling. Seeing that Leng Ruolan is also a smart person, how could she even bring out such a simple little girl?
While laughing, I saw the driver waiting in front of you. Leng Ruolan looked up at the signboard, drank, and wrote: The four big characters of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon are arrogant enough, just like the font!
As soon as Xiao Cui saw the coachman, she said proudly, "Look, I'll say I'll be there soon." As he spoke, he shook off the others, ran to the inn by himself, stopped beside the coachman, and shouted to the people behind, "Miss, Sister Xiyu, hurry up." Young Master Lu, hurry, hurry, don't you want to rest? ”
Leng Ruolan didn't show any displeasure, but Xiyu secretly decided in her heart that she must teach Xiaocui a good lesson at night, she saw Zhang Ruitai's expression in her eyes just now, and if she didn't discipline her well, this girl would forget what the rules are. Especially now that my uncle's attitude towards Miss is unclear, if she causes any more trouble, she really doesn't know how to clean it up.
Chao Yan who walked at the end frowned, and immediately let go, since the young lady didn't make a sound, she didn't care about her for the time being, and if she was there, the atmosphere between these people was not so tense, but if it was too much, it still wouldn't work, it seemed that I had to tell Xiyu to be more careful at night.
Yu Chixuan didn't react, Lu Shiqi laughed happily, but Zhang Ruitai looked at Leng Ruolan with a smile with a different meaning, "It's still Xiaocui girl, it's just here." "The voice is low, and it is annoying to listen to.
Leng Ruolan's eyebrows moved, she looked sideways at Zhang Ruitai, and when she met the gaze that he hadn't returned, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled politely at him. What is the identity of this man who calls himself a gentleman? I don't usually communicate with him, but I always feel like he's watching me, and I've tried to meet his gaze a few times. But he has a frank expression, and he doesn't look like a person with a ghost in his heart.
Xiao Cui didn't know that the audience was surging, and she was still proud, and replied to Zhang Ruitai angrily, "Of course, I'm Xiao Cuiye!" He also ran from the door of the inn and helped Leng Ruolan to walk quickly to the inn, "Miss, let's go in quickly, and then we can eat and rest." ”
Leng Ruolan no longer looked at Zhang Ruitai, followed Xiaocui's pace and walked quickly to the inn, and smiled helplessly, "You, like a child all day long, don't care about anything when you hear something fun." Don't be like this in the future, the people behind are all your masters, how can you run to the front alone. ”
Xiao Cui stuck out her tongue and pulled Leng Ruolan's hand coquettishly, "Xiao Cui is wrong, Xiao Cui won't dare in the future, Miss, you forgive Xiao Cui this time." After a long time, she also knew Leng Ruolan's temperament, as long as she obediently admitted her mistakes, she would not say anything more.
Sure enough, Leng Ruolan shook her head and sighed, "Just pay attention in the future." If it weren't for Zhang Ruitai's eyes, she didn't want to talk about Xiaocui originally, but now she is not in Xiangyuan, she still has to be more restrained.
Xiao Cui smiled coquettishly, "Got it, Miss." Also, Miss, Xiaocui is not a child anymore! "I've told Miss several times, why do you always treat others as children!
"Yes, yes, I was wrong, you're a big girl who is almost fourteen years old, not a child. So, you have to be more measured in your future work, big girl. Leng Ruolan teased.
Xiaocui knew that her young lady was making fun of herself, so she pouted and stopped talking, so she rushed to the inn with all her might.
A few people from behind followed, handed over the horse to the innkeeper and led him to the stable, and also quickened his pace to the inn.
Walking into the inn, Leng Ruolan's eyebrows jumped, and she knew what "Crouching Tiger" was. There is a tiger skin in the direction of the inn facing the gate! I don't know if there is still a "hidden dragon" in a corner of the inn, Leng Ruolan secretly complained in her heart. Looking at the signboard, I thought it was a very atmospheric and remarkable place, but as a result, it was not a meaning at all, but a realistic portrayal, what a waste of that good hand!
Xiao Cui's eyes widened when she looked at the tiger skin, let go of Leng Ruolan, and pointed at it in surprise with her hand, "Xiao ...... Miss, old ...... Tiger! It took a lot of effort to shout out the word tiger.
Leng Ruolan also comforted her calmly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a tiger skin." "Won't eat people.
Xiao Cui still felt terrible, especially when the head of the tiger skin was still facing her, so scary, she took Leng Ruolan's hand and held her closely.
Yu Chixuan then walked in, didn't even look at the tiger skin, and walked to the stairs to the left of the tiger skin with a calm demeanor. After that, the people who came in didn't raise their eyebrows, and went straight to the stairs, and even Xiyu didn't look weird.
Leng Ruolan followed Captain Chi Xuan, Xiao Cui was still next to each other and didn't let go, both scared and curious, sticking out her head from Leng Ruolan's side to peek at the tiger skin next to the stairs.
Lu Shiqi was happy again when he saw Xiao Cui's movements, and deliberately teased her, "Be careful, don't be disrespectful to it, otherwise the tiger will run to play with you at night." ”
Xiao Cui was innocent, and this nervousness was even less intellectual, her head retracted suddenly, her hand grabbed Leng Ruolan, and said in a trembling voice: "Really?!" Don't look for me, I won't be disrespectful to you. "It was as if the tiger was waiting for her at the moment.
Leng Ruolan glared at Lu Shiqi, raised her other hand and patted Xiao Cui, "Don't worry, he lied to you, this is just a tiger skin, it won't move." ”
Xi Yu smiled disdainfully in the back, "Wasn't it still alive just now, and I couldn't pull it?" How can a tiger skin scare you like this?! ”
Xiao Cui cautiously glanced at the tiger skin underneath and trembled, "Tigers are different, in the past, my mother's father and brother were eaten by tigers when they went up the mountain to hunt, and they never came home." She told me that if you don't obey, you will be caught and eaten by tigers! The more she said that she was leaning on Leng Ruolan, the tighter she became, and she almost hid in her arms.
It turned out that he had been frightened by tigers since he was a child, so it's no wonder that he reacted so much. Xiyu stopped talking, and she felt that she couldn't say anything about her to such a fragile child.
Leng Ruolan's voice was softer, "What she said is alive, the tiger running on the mountain is different from this, so you don't have to be afraid." "I didn't ask her who her mother was, Xiaocui knew so many people, so I guess it was the wife of which family. This person is really, even if a child is not sensible, he can't scare her like this, I don't know if it will cause a psychological shadow?
Wei Chixuan walked in front of himself, ignoring the conversations of the people behind. I went up to the second floor and turned into the window wing on the left, where there were two tables, and the dishes were already served. Leng Ruolan wanted to sit next to Wei Chixuan, even if he was very cold to her in the past few days, she was still her wife in name.
In the end, Chaoyan, Xiyu, Xiaocui and Mafu occupied a table, and the remaining two accompanied Wei Chi Xuan and Leng Ruolan to occupy another table.
The dishes on the table were quickly eliminated, Leng Ruolan was still eating in small bites, she hadn't learned to eat like Lu Shiqi, only to watch the dishes on the table be quickly eliminated, and she had a chopstick of green vegetables. Wei Chi Xuan glanced at her, frowned, people have to worry about eating a meal! Then the meat in his hand went into Leng Ruolan's bowl. I took back my chopsticks a little depressed, why did I give her the meat?! He must have been afraid that she would not be able to eat well and get sick, so he would slow down her travel, yes, that's it, so he wouldn't worry about whether she was full or not.
