Chapter 25: The Great Disappointment
Miss Yihong stepped forward and bowed slightly, and said softly, "Three sons, please come with me." With that, he turned around and walked forward, and the three of them followed slowly, turning a courtyard and a group of people to the door of a private room. I saw that there was a big dry character on the jujube red wooden door in front of me, shining golden under the light of the candle flame, and the Yihong girl reached out and pushed the door open, smiled and said: "Three sons, the Qianzi Palace has arrived, please come inside." ”
Ling Haoran nodded slightly, and then stepped in, Wen Ziqi and Pei Yuanting also followed Yuguan and walked in. The fragrance that comes to the nose makes people feel like they are in a hundred flowers, through the screen, I can see the candle flame in the house swaying gently, there is a round table in the middle of the room, there is an incense burner is floating with light smoke, Wen Ziqi's nose inhaled slightly, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare at the incense burner tightly, as if he had found a treasure. And standing beside him, Pei Yuanting looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, and couldn't confirm whether he was dreaming, the originally highly anticipated fifth floor was not as magnificent as the third and fourth floors, but it was indeed unpretentious, and there was no trace of luxury in the whole house, which made him a little disappointed. But if you look closely, you can feel that the furnishings in this room are so complementary, one more thing is a burden, and one less thing is something missing. Ling Haoran looked at the two of them and didn't speak, just silently bypassed the screen, walked straight to the table, and casually found a seat to sit down, Wen Ziqi and Pei Yuanting glanced at each other, and they all walked to the table and sat down regardless of priority.
Ling Haoran looked at the two in front of him and said, "It seems that the two of you have also discovered that this place is not an ordinary place!" I think there's something unusual about it! ”
Wen Ziqi nodded and said: "This place is indeed extraordinary, I don't know anything else, but I know that the incense on the table is difficult to buy even if there is money on the market." This is a fine requiem. ”
The Yihong girl standing by the door couldn't help but look at Wen Ziqi when she heard the three words Requiem.
Ling Haoran said in disbelief: "No, you can tell what kind of incense is burning in this furnace just by asking?" I'm not as good as you, but I know the best thing about this place is that I can do whatever you want to eat! As long as you say it. And they will make it for you. ”
As soon as he heard that he was eating, Pei Yuanting changed his sense of loss just now and said: "Since you said so, then I'm not welcome" After that, he stretched out his hand and greeted: "Little second brother!" Bring the menu. ”
The girl Yihong, who was standing at the door, came over and replied softly: "Hui Gongzi, there is no menu on the fifth floor, you just need to say what you want to eat, and I will make it for you here." ”
Pei Yuanting was stunned for a moment before he realized that there was no second brother here, only the Yihong girl who had just brought them in, so he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Girl, I'm sorry, I forgot." ”
Seeing this, Ling Haoran hurriedly said: "Since I am the east today, although I said that you can order it casually, I feel that I should recommend it, why don't you listen to my mind?" Don't look at my brother, I'm not as good as you two in other places, but when it comes to food, I'm a connoisseur, how about it? ”
Wen Ziqi and Pei Yuanting are both smart and powerful people, how can they not know what Ling Haoran means when he said this, just now on the first floor, these two are already considered to be foreigners, if there is any embarrassment here, then how can this meal be happy. Both of them nodded and said in unison, "Listen to you." ”
Ling Haoran thought for a while and said, "In this way, one of each of the signature chicken, duck and fish, and eight more pieces for us, as well as a pot of good wine." ”
Miss Yihong, who was standing behind Pei Yuanting, heard this and asked softly, "Is there a taboo for the three sons?" ”
Ling Haoran thought for a while and said, "I don't have it, it depends on whether the two of them have it." ”
The two shook their heads, and Miss Yihong saw that there was no taboo and said, "The three sons wait a while!" After saying that, he bowed and slowly withdrew.
Wen Ziqi saw that the people had left, so he said to Pei Yuanting: "Now that we know the gap between us and this Ling Gongzi, we are here to be dumbfounded, looking at our Ling Gongzi." Ay!! Comparing goods to throw, people are more dead than people. ”
Pei Yuanting sighed and said: "I don't even know how to order a dish, and when Ling Gongzi opens his mouth, he will come to ask you, do you know what these eight pieces are?" ”
Wen Ziqi waved his hand and shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, how can I, a poor boy in the mountains, know what the upper eight pieces are, do you know?" ”
Pei Yuanting snorted coldly and said, "How do I know, it's the first time I've heard it!" Why don't you Ling brother, do you get involved, tell me what are the top eight pieces? ”
Ling Haoran didn't stop the two of them from ridiculing, smiled and said: "In fact, the so-called eight pieces are eight dishes with good meanings, which are full of gold and jade, golden rooster, thriving, and good luck。。。。。 ”
In the past, the Four Seas Inn where the guest rooms were not enough, but today there are only a few rooms with lights on, and the shopkeeper Li picked up the wine jug and poured a full cup for Huang Zhutou, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhutou, there are rudeness to coarse tea and light rice, tomorrow I will be the east, and you can enjoy the light of Yuelai Restaurant." ”
Huang Zhutou looked at the shopkeeper Li in front of him drunkenly and rolled his tongue and said: "Shopkeeper Li, as the saying goes, you are so polite and useless, what is the so-called thing about you being so polite?" It won't just be because I blew up the crowd of idlers watching the excitement in the afternoon, right? Besides, today I have broken the rules with you, and you are not allowed to drink alcohol when solving the case, but you can bring enough of my top hat and drink to such an extent! Since you have drunk the wine of Shopkeeper Li, if you have anything, just ask, but I can tell you anything I know! ”
Shopkeeper Li hurriedly said with a smile: "Huang Zhutou, you are a little out of sight, today's meal, it's just that you are here to solve the case, and you can't let you go hungry, right, so I just prepared a little coarse tea and light rice to make you hungry." As for the said Tomorrow Yuelai Restaurant, it is indeed a bit selfish, and I just hope that you can solve the case quickly. You also know that reputation is important in what we do. Murder is the most unhappy thing to see, and you have also seen a lodging in the capital today. ”
Huang Zhutou shook his head, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, rubbed the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his cuffs, and said jokingly: "Is this really the case, I see that there are still a few rooms in your inn with lights on today, presumably there are still guests staying, who are these people?" ”
Shopkeeper Li thought for a while and said: "It doesn't seem to be anything special, the people who live upstairs in our house should be dressed as visitors outside the gate." There is a woman living opposite, carrying a three-foot green peak, who should be a chivalrous woman walking the rivers and lakes. There is also an old and a young man who live next to the women's guest room, it seems that they should be grandparents and grandchildren, and they should be dressed ordinarily to go to relatives. There is also a man who has moved in three days ago, and it can be seen that he is an official errand between his gestures. But didn't come back yesterday and didn't check out. ”
Huang Zhutou thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "If it is really according to what Shopkeeper Li said, there is nothing special. But shopkeeper Li, do you want to give me a copy of the list of people who checked out today? ”
Shopkeeper Li said categorically: "That's natural, cooperating with the government to solve the case is also what our business should do, but there is one thing that has been lingering in my mind." Can't figure it out this afternoon? ”
Huang Zhutou looked at Shopkeeper Li and said, "What's the matter that made you think about Shopkeeper Li for an afternoon?" Tell me about it? ”
Shopkeeper Li thought for a while, hugged his fist at Huang Zhutou and said, "Then I will dare to say it, Huang Zhutou, you will all treat me as drunk and talk nonsense." I've been thinking about one thing, who would kill the executioners of the government? If the executioner of the government dies unexpectedly, who is in the best interest? I don't understand, besides, why is this Feng Zhijiang with them? And yesterday's Steward Feng of Yichun Hall really had nothing to do with this matter? ”
Huang Zhutou glanced at Shopkeeper Li, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Thanks to Shopkeeper Li's hospitality today, seeing that the hour is not early, I should go back." With that, he staggered to his feet and prepared to leave.
Shopkeeper Li looked at Huang Zhutou in surprise and asked puzzledly: "What is the situation, I have just said this, why do you just leave?" ”
Huang Zhutou stopped halfway through the door and turned his back to Shopkeeper Li and said, "Shopkeeper Li, you and I both drank a little too much today, and some words will end here, farewell!" With that, he walked away resolutely.
The gloomy sky didn't know when it was drizzling again, the cold street, the cold rain, staggering on the cold street, the yellow catcher let the drizzle hit his face like a silk thread, and the yellow catcher, who was still drunk just now, was like a sharp sword between his eyes that could penetrate his heart. Originally, it was not good to speak with his tongue curled, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned at this time, and he said clearly: "It's a little interesting!" ”
