Chapter 50: Poisoned Young Master
"Hmph, now you know how good I am, right? Will you dare in the future? Yan Zixi said triumphantly.
Xiao Jingrui shook his head like a rattle, "Don't dare, don't dare!" From now on, you will be my sister-in-law......"
"Didn't you say it just now, don't call me sister-in-law Wang, call me Sister Zixi!" Yan Zixi corrected.
"Uh-huh, Sister Zixi, Sister Zixi!" Xiao Jingrui screamed several times in a row, and Yan Zixi felt a burst of comfort in her heart.
If modern people know that the ancient little prince called himself so intimately, I don't know what he would think!
"Sister Zixi, you won't tell my brother about today, will you?" Xiao Jingrui blinked her big eyes as beautiful as black crystal, and asked Yan Zixi curiously.
Yan Zixi thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "It depends on your performance in the future, if you behave well, not only will I not say it, but I will also praise you in front of your brother!" ”
"Really?"
"Of course! If you're not well-behaved...... Hmph......" Yan Zixi squeezed her fist and scared Xiao Jingrui.
Xiao Jingrui recalled the words that Yan Zixi wanted to spank him before, and couldn't help touching the back of herself, and then hurriedly responded with a smile.
"No, no, Sister Zixi, I must be obedient, okay?"
"That's pretty much it!"
Yan Zixi nodded with satisfaction, "Then can you take me out now?" ”
"Uh-huh, Sister Zixi come with me!"
Saying that, Xiao Jingrui took Yan Zixi through the courtyard again, and after passing through a few twists and turns of the corridor, he finally came to the gate.
Xiao Jingrui turned around and said to Yan Zixi: "Sister Zixi, if you keep going from here, you can go out, my mother told me not to go out, I can only take it here!" ”
"Well, I know, it's okay, I know how to get out, Jingrui is so good!"
As Yan Zixi spoke, she leaned down, gently touched Xiao Jingrui's head, and then thought of something, and found the air-dried bayberry from her baggage.
"Come, this is Sister Zixi's reward for you!"
Xiao Jingrui didn't seem to have eaten this kind of thing, holding the black bayberry in his hand, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Sister Zixi, what is this?"
"Oh, it's called bayberry, but it's dried, and then it's made with honey, you should call it candied fruit here! But my sister, this is specially made by herself, and you haven't eaten it! ”
"Really?" Xiao Jingrui curiously picked up an air-dried bayberry and stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly a honey fragrance mixed with the unique sweetness and sourness of bayberry swept from the tip of his tongue.
Xiao Jingrui is a child, so he naturally likes this taste very much, and he jumped up and down for joy.
"It's delicious! Sister Zixi, your candied fruit is so delicious! I've never eaten anything so delicious! ”
"Haha, I'm really good at talking, so I'll give you all of these." Yan Zixi wrapped the remaining bayberry one by one with a handkerchief, and stuffed it all into Xiao Jingrui's hand, and then waved goodbye to him.
Xiao Jingrui hugged Yangmei in his arms, watched Yan Zixi go out of the gate, and shouted from behind.
"Sister Zixi, you have to come to the house often to play with me!"
When Yan Zixi heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh.
I'm afraid that I will have my life to go in and not to come out. This general's mansion is still less good.
It's better to wait until your brother comes back next time!
I don't know what his brother looks like......
On the way back, Yan Zixi kept muttering in her heart, fantasizing about what kind of person the son of the general of the General's Mansion would be.
"His brother is so cute and handsome, so his brother must be handsome too, right?"
A little drool flowed from the corner of someone's mouth......
After erasing it, Yan Zixi planned to find an inn to settle down first.
When she was at the post station before, she also specially inquired about the most cost-effective inn in the capital from the shopkeeper, and she did not hesitate to recommend the Yuelai Inn located on Dongcheng Street.
After inquiring for a while, Yan Zixi looked for a way.
As soon as I walked into the inn, I saw the shopkeeper walking over with a rag diligently.
"Yo, guest officer, do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?"
"Uh...... Let's eat and stay at the hotel! Yan Zixi thought about it and said to the shopkeeper.
Speaking of which, Yan Zixi hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and she was shocked in the General's Mansion just now, the consumption was too great, and her stomach was already growling with hunger at this moment.
"Hey, okay, then let's do it, guest officer, I'll take you to the guest room first, and you can come out to eat after you finish your salute."
Yan Zixi nodded, "Okay, then I'm sorry for you." ”
"It's okay, it's not troublesome, it should be, guest officer, then you come with me, watch out for the steps......"
The shopkeeper greeted Yan Zixi while leading Yan Zixi to the Tianzi No. 2 room upstairs.
Push the door to see, the room furnishings are very simple, but it is clean, and the light is quite good.
"How about it, guest officer, are you satisfied with this room?" The shopkeeper asked earnestly on the side.
"Well, it's okay, that's it."
"Okay, I'll register you, I don't know what you call the guest officer?"
"Yan Zixi ......"
"Okay, please pay a deposit of five taels first."
"Oh, good...... Wait......" Yan Zixi suddenly realized something, "You just said how much is the deposit?" ”
The shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders and stretched out a hand, "Five taels of silver, is there anything wrong with the guest officer?" ”
"Five taels of silver? Why is the deposit so much? Aren't you the most cost-effective inn in the capital? Yan Zixi's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe her ears.
The shopkeeper grinned, revealing some yellowed front teeth, "Oh, the guest officer looked at what you said, our Yuelai Inn also has a well-known reputation in the capital, and the Tianzihao room is not only beautiful, neat and clean, you can also see it!" ”
"I know all this, but why does the deposit cost five taels of silver?"
"Guest, this is the rule of our store, this night is a tael of silver, it is very cheap to charge you a deposit of five taels, you can rest assured, the silver will be returned to you when you check out!"
"Wait a little longer, how much money will you have for a night?"
Yan Zixi felt that her head was a little unconscious, and she seemed to understand why the shopkeeper was smiling so happily when he left the post station.
The dare lover family introduced himself to a black-hearted inn!
"Guest officer, I see that you are dressed well, why are you so careful? If you really can't afford to live in it, just say it, you can go to the bottom of the sky street and find a random shed to sleep in the open......"
"Who...... Who said I couldn't afford to live! ”
Yan Zixi gritted her teeth, took out five taels of silver from her baggage and threw it into the hands of the shopkeeper.
Even if I break my front teeth, I'm going to swallow it in my stomach!
When the shopkeeper saw the silver, his attitude immediately became respectful again, and he said politely.
"Isn't this the end of it! The guest officer is really atmospheric, this room number has been registered, give, this is the key to the guest room, you take it! ”
The shopkeeper smiled and handed the key to Yan Zixi's hand, and then asked with concern.
"Guest officer, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't I prepare a table of good food and drinks for you to bring to your room right now?" ”
"No need, I'll go downstairs to the lobby to eat later."
"Okay, the guest officer, I'm going to go about my business, don't bother you!" As he spoke, the shopkeeper respectfully exited the room.
Yan Zixi threw the burden on the table, and threw herself on the bed.
"I've been wandering around the General's Mansion for most of the day, and my legs are sore!"
Yan Zixi pounded her legs while thinking about her future plans.
"Now that the General's Mansion has been there, that Mrs. Xiao obviously doesn't like me very much, and she refuses to let me see the prince, so I guess this marriage is no fun...... I'd better think of another way......"
Just when Yan Zixi was thinking about how to go in the future, there was a commotion downstairs, as if someone was shouting there.
Hearing the movement, Yan Zixi immediately got up from the bed, rushed out of the room, and ran downstairs to see what was going on.
As soon as she walked to the staircase, Yan Zixi saw a little brother dressed as a servant shouting there in a panic.
"Come on, come on! Shopkeeper, you come out for me! ”
The shopkeeper of the Yuelai Inn heard the call and hurriedly ran over.
"What happened to this guest officer?"
"How dare you ask me? My son-in-law was fine, but after eating your things, he suddenly had convulsions and foamed at the mouth! Say, did you poison the food?! ”
The shopkeeper turned pale with fright when he heard this, and quickly explained in his mouth.
"How is this possible! Guest officer, you just borrowed a hundred guts from me, and I didn't dare to poison the food? ”
"So what's going on now? Let me tell you, if my son-in-law has three longs and two shorts, I will make your Yuelai Inn disappear completely! ”
"This ......" The shopkeeper was so anxious that he was completely confused, and he didn't know what to do.
The diners around him also put down the food in their hands, ready to ask the shopkeeper for an explanation.
Just when the shopkeeper was at a loss, Yan Zixi, who was watching the show upstairs, suddenly spoke.
"I say, you as a servant still have the heart to trouble the shopkeeper here? Why don't you hurry up and find a way to save your son-in-law? ”
Everyone looked over and saw that it was a girl, and they whispered in their mouths.
When the servant heard the voice, he also glanced up at Yan Zixi, and said coldly, "Who are you?" Why do I need you to dictate what I do? ”
"Okay, okay, I'm just talking casually, and I don't point to my hands, I draw my feet!"
Yan Zixi snorted coldly, glanced at the symptoms of the poisoned son, and chuckled lightly: "I'm afraid that your son-in-law won't last a few hours!" ”
"What...... What the? What did you say?! ”
"I said, your son can't hold on for long, if you don't rescue it, I'm afraid you're really going to die here!"
