21. Black Heart Inn (II)
The woman took out a handkerchief out of nowhere, stood on tiptoe, helped the man next to her wipe the sweat beads on her forehead just because of the accounting, and replied softly, "Little girl, the slave family has just said that the slave family is the owner of this inn." ”
After wiping it for a while, the woman put down her hand with satisfaction and turned her head to look at Tao Xiaoyao.
Tao Xiaoyao looked a little reluctant at this time, she pulled her sleeve and smiled slyly at the plain-clothed woman, with a bit of a scoundrel. "No matter, I say you're the boss and you're the boss. ”
Mizi stretched out her hand and dragged Tao Xiaoyao, probably feeling a little embarrassed. Because the previous conversation may have been too loud, the corners that were not noticed by everyone attracted the attention of people who were eating or chatting in the hall. They all whispered because Tao Xiaoyao had to recognize the plain woman as the boss.
In the human world, the status of women is lower than that of men, if the fate is good, born between the rich and noble, peace and happiness to be a daughter or a lady, the door does not go out of the door, hiding in their boudoir obediently waiting to get married, marry a good husband who is right. If you bump into someone with a bad life, born in a poor family, if you can marry a man who can bear hardships and stand hard work, and honestly stay at home with your husband and children, then it will be fine, if you don't marry well, you have to come out and make money by yourself, then in the eyes of others, it is shameless, and it is indispensable to suffer a little gossip.
And the statement that a woman opens an inn is even more unheard of.
Although the honey word was born in a heroic family of animal tamers since childhood, and is not bound by these secular prejudices, she also knows a little about the statement under the woman's status, and now understands that Tao Xiaoyao's questioning may make the plain-clothed woman a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly grabbed her and walked upstairs, smiling apologetically at the woman as she walked.
The plain-clothed woman just lowered her eyes, the corners of her mouth were still smiling, and she stretched out her hand to fold the handkerchief that had just wiped the man's sweat and put it into the placket.
The man stretched out his hand and hugged her, his face was still the same cold color as before, and he raised his eyes to look at Tao Xiaoyao, who was a little reluctant to be ripped away by the honey word, and used a little bit of strength in his hand.
The woman was probably a little hurt from being hugged by the man, her brows furrowed, she gently patted his chest, and whispered something to him.
The man let go of his hand and went back to his own business.
"Lao Chen, treat all the guest officers well. The woman gave Xiao Er a word and went out through the small door behind the counter.
On the other side of the stairs, a little er who was called Lao Chen responded with a hello, so he actively ran up in the lobby.
Before Tao Xiaoyao finished asking, she didn't have time to say a few words to the plain-clothed woman, and she was pushed and pushed by honey and brought to the stairs. She stared at her round eyes with some reluctance, looking at the person and dog in front of her.
Xiaoluo honestly stayed on Tao Xiaoyao's shoulders, probably growing in the cold ice and snow for a long time, at this time, he was a little unaccustomed to the warm environment here, and some of them couldn't arouse their interest, sticking to Tao Xiaoyao's cheeks, and continuously transmitting the warmth obtained from the air to Tao Xiaoyao.
Before they could say anything, a door to the right at the end of the stairs creaked open.
The corridor is very quiet, and the white gauze curtains that seem useless but actually have a very good soundproofing effect cover the noise downstairs, and the light and sound cannot penetrate it, only on the walls on both sides of the corridor, a dim lamp is lit, which also adds a spice.
As the door was pushed open, Tao Xiaoyao and Mi Zi were attracted by the squeaking sound in the quiet corridor, only to see that under the dim light projection, the figure that came out of the room was stretched for a long time, projected onto the wall at the end, and the shadow was scorching. The man seemed to be holding something in his arms, and he was kicking his calves very dishonestly.
"Hum-huh-" came a familiar call in his ears.
Xiao Jiu Tao Xiaoyao was surprised to find that the voice turned out to be Xiao Jiu's. It's strange, after being dragged on the back of the thief by the honey word, Xiao Jiu, who was still in her arms before, suddenly disappeared, she thought it was having a temper again, and she didn't know where it went.
The man walked over from the shadows with a leisurely pace, wearing a green gauze robe, silver hair and a shawl, his skin was like condensation, and his charming face was charming.
Jiuluo rubbed his still wet silver hair, the green gauze did not completely cover his skin, slightly revealing the beautiful snow-white skin on the side of his chest, and as he breathed, the ups and downs were faintly visible.
He narrowed his starry eyes slightly, patted Xiao Jiu, who was in a hurry to run to Tao Xiaoyao, and pretended to be angry, "What a conscienceless little thing, as soon as I saw the master coming, I couldn't wait to run to her, eh?"
The honey word was a little dry for a while, it seemed that Jiuluo should have just bathed, she didn't know if the man had just bathed, whether it would look a little seductive. When she first saw Jiuluo, she didn't dare to look at him too presumptuously, she only felt that his immortal posture and temperament were unworldly, and he could only be viewed from a distance and could not be blasphemed.
Now that she looked at him so closely, Mizi didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Have you just taken a bath?" Tao Xiaoyao saw more of Jiuluo's charming appearance, although the scene of this beauty taking a bath was very seductive, but Tao Xiaoyao was only stunned for a while, and then immediately came back to her senses. "It's obviously a monster, and you still learn what kind of bath humans take. ”
She muttered in a low voice, saw Xiao Jiu who was still struggling hard, thought about it, walked forward quickly, and snatched it from Jiuluo's arms.
Tao Xiaoyao's voice was too quiet, and the word honey only vaguely heard the word bath, and the rest was not heard very clearly. On the contrary, Jiuluo, the fox clan has always been hearingy, and they clearly heard Tao Xiaoyao's low muttering, chuckling, and hooking the corners of their mouths.
At this time, there was a sparse sound of footsteps in the corridor, probably late at night, and the guests had come up to rest.
Tao Xiaoyao and they also understood at this time that it was not a matter to stand here and talk like this all the time, and the honey word was also startled back to her senses by the footsteps, and waved her hand loudly to hide her gaffe, and motioned for the thief to go into the house with her quickly.
Tao Xiaoyao pursed her lips, obviously still holding a grudge against what Jiuluo said before that she wanted to drink peach blossom wine, and she also walked into the house with this honey word, and when she passed by Jiuluo, she deliberately hit him with her shoulder, not light or heavy.
Jiuluo smiled with bent eyes, as if unintentionally glanced at Xiao Jiu in Tao Xiaoyao's arms.
Xiao Jiu felt Jiuluo's gaze, and hurriedly arched his head close to Tao Xiaoyao's arms, as if he was avoiding something.
