Red Dust Inn Chapter 35 Qibao County
Many people have explored the causes of happiness, but the reason for happiness is very simple, that is, to keep getting what you want.
If a person can get what he wants every day, he will naturally live happily, on the contrary, if he loses his precious things every day, he will be very sad.
Zhao Zheng is fortunate to be a happy person today, because just yesterday, he got a handsome sister with good martial arts. Anyone who gets such a sister will feel happy.
This morning, Zhao Zheng woke up with a sweet dream, although he still had some alcohol on his body and some discomfort in his head, but this discomfort did not make him less happy. He put on his clothes with a smile, washed up, and walked out of the house refreshed, all the way up to the third floor, and went to greet Shen Luoxia.
Without knocking on the door a few times, Shen Luoxia opened the door, she stroked the half-combed fallen horse bun, and smiled at Zhao Zheng.
Zhao is a junior, of course, he has to be the first to greet, he bowed and said, "Sister, did you sleep well last night?" ”
"Don't let alone sleep soundly." Shen Luoxia grabbed Zhao Zheng's sleeve with a smile, pulled Zhao Zheng into the house, lifted the lotus little foot and flicked it on tiptoe, and closed the door of the house, "My hair hasn't been done yet, you stay with me, watch me do my hair, and chat with me by the way." ”
"Okay." Zhao Zheng stood aside as he said.
"Don't stand stupidly, pull a chair and sit down, in front of your sister, what are you being polite about." Shen Luoxia looked at the honest Zhao Zheng, and suddenly felt like her brother was reborn, and her attitude towards Zhao Zheng became much more friendly.
"You were my shopkeeper yesterday, and today you have become my sister, and I can't change for a while." Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly, pulled over a chair, put it behind the dresser, and sat down.
"Don't treat me as your godsister, just as my own sister, so that you won't feel awkward." Shen Luoxia smiled, Shi Shiran sat down in front of the dresser, and fiddled with the other half of the untied hair in front of the bronze mirror. Her fingers are slender and white, like a green onion, and her black hair is interspersed between her fingers, and the black and white sè complement each other, which looks extremely beautiful.
Zhao Zheng sat in the back, his eyes fell on Shen Luoxia's hair for a while, and on the bronze mirror reflecting the jade face for a while, and he just felt that watching a beautiful woman dress up was a very good visual enjoyment.
"Good brother, what do you want to eat this morning, I'll ask Tuzi to cook it for you." Shen Luoxia asked, holding her hair.
"I'm not greedy, just eat the same as usual, it doesn't matter if I drink some rice porridge or eat some lo mein." Zhao Zheng replied.
"That's not good, I'm in a good mood today, and I'm going to eat something good. After we finished eating, we took a carriage to Qibao County. ”
"So early? Didn't you say you'd go back in a few days? Zhao Zheng immediately played jīng god, he didn't care what he ate, but he had to care about this matter.
"It's better to go late than early. The outfit you're wearing is so ordinary, I want to take you into the county to make a few good outfits to wear. Your person is already handsome, if you put on a good set of clothes, it will be even more perfect, definitely no worse than those official sons. ”
"Well, it's better to go early, I haven't been to Qibao County for a long time,"
"You must have learned to drive, right? The inn is busy, at most two people can walk away, we have to drive our own car on this trip, and we can't let other guys in the inn drive. Although I can drive, a woman's family is really not suitable for this kind of thing. ”
"I have already learned skills such as riding a horse and taking care of horses, so I can drive it."
"Well, I'm relieved." Shen Luoxia has coiled up the fallen horse's bun, this hairstyle is to use a head rope to erect her hair into several balls, and then let it fall into the back of her head, which looks like a horse's belly, hence the name. When a woman combs this hairstyle, it will give people a sense of weakness and mature charm, which is very suitable for Shen Luoxia.
Shen Luoxia pointed to the back of her head and handed a phoenix peony hairpin behind her, "Brother, help my sister choose a good position to insert the hairpin." ”
Zhao Zheng was happy to do this kind of thing, took the hairpin, leaned over slightly, looked at Shen Luoxia in the bronze mirror, found an aesthetic position, and inserted the golden copper hairpin into his hair. Shen Luoxia's hair quality is very good, and her hair is very long, and it is very dense after being tied together, and the hairpin is inserted into it steadily, so you don't have to worry about falling off at all.
Shen Luoxia looked at herself in the mirror and said nostalgically: "A few days before my brother died, he combed my hair once, and he said sorry while combing my hair, claiming that he couldn't live until the day I got married, but he really didn't live to that day. ”
"I'll send my sister to your marriage instead of him, and I'll comb your hair myself that day."
"Hehe, okay."
Shen Luoxia straightened her hair and told Zhao Zheng to come in with a meal, and the two sisters had breakfast together in this boudoir. After eating, Shen Luoxia began to set off for Qibao County, and it took half a day to reach Qibao County from here, so it would not be possible to hurry up.
Zhao Zheng seized this opportunity, assumed the name of Shen Luoxia, and privately borrowed a string of secret door keys from Wang Er dedicated to opening and closing the secret room, and then went to Wang Er's room and opened the secret compartment behind the bedside table.
The dark compartment area is not large, only half a meter square, and it is full of bottles and cans, all of which are labeled, among which there is a brocade box that is the most conspicuous, which is actually made of expensive sandalwood. Zhao Zheng knew that the "unscented cartilage powder" was in the brocade box, so he picked up the brocade box and opened it. The brocade box was lined with an orange and yellow cloth pad, and five small medicine bottles were placed upright, each containing the inn's secret unscented cartilage powder.
Zhao Zheng put down the brocade box, took out one of the bottles of poison, and took out the empty bottles prepared in advance from the system warehouse, and poured the poison into his own bottle. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he opened each of the five vials, and took out a small portion of the poison from each of the five vials, accumulating a small amount and collecting enough to be used three times.
Poison alone is not enough, after Zhao Zheng left Wang Er's room, he took the key and went straight to the storeroom of the inn, opened the secret door pressed under the wine jar, and climbed down.
There are many wine jars and flasks under the secret door, all of which are old wines collected by the inn over the years.
Zhao Zheng chose to choose and choose, selected a small jar of sealed aged bamboo leaves, and put it in the system warehouse for later use. With two things, wine and poison, he can carry out his revenge. He hurriedly left the warehouse and returned the key to Wang Er. In the process of handing over the key, he secretly observed Wang Er's facial expression, and judging from Wang Er's performance, it seemed that he didn't suspect him anything, so he settled down.
It didn't take long for Shen Luoxia to get ready to go, holding a wooden lunch box in her hand, beckoning Zhao Zheng to go to the backyard to lead the carriage.
Zhao Zheng left the inn under the envious eyes of several men and guests, and drove the carriage of the inn to stop at the door. Shen Luoxia held the lunch box, flew into the carriage, closed the door, opened the corner of the curtain, and said goodbye to the people in the inn lobby.
"Drive!" Zhao Zheng shook the reins, and the jujube red horse raised his neck and neighed twice, raised his hooves, and stepped on the crisp steps to go away. The jujube red horse is an old horse, very obedient, and this road is a straight avenue, as long as it is not too fast, it is not difficult to control this carriage.
Zhao Zheng held the reins, drove the horse leisurely, and sometimes looked at the surrounding autumn mountain scenery, a feeling of self-driving travel arose, especially enjoyable.
Shen Luoxia sat in the carriage, occasionally opened the front door curtain to talk to Zhao Zheng, chatting about some household matters or martial arts matters, and between the conversations, she mentioned Luo Yanbu, saying that as soon as she had the opportunity, she would teach this light skill to Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng was even happier when he heard this, and thanked him again and again. He is now Shen Luoxia's younger brother, and the martial arts of those people in the inn can be learned casually in the future, which is really beautiful.
After half a day passed, the carriage came to the halfway, Shen Luoxia opened the curtain, and saw that the mountains were undulating and beautiful, so she asked Zhao Zheng to hold the horse and stop. She got out of the carriage with the lunch box, spread a piece of brocade cloth on the ground, arranged a few side dishes that had cooled down in the lunch box, took out the wine and dry food, and called Zhao Zheng to have lunch together.
Zhao Zheng bolted the carriage to a dead tree on the side of the road, sat opposite Shen Luoxia, eating and drinking.
"It's a pity that it's autumn now, everything is withering, and the eyes are full of vicissitudes, if it's a chūn day, we can go green in this mountain." Shen Luoxia took a small bite of the steamed bun, and after swallowing it, she said regretfully.
"In fact, whether the scenery is beautiful or not is secondary, traveling depends on who the people are traveling with, if you travel with people close to you, you will feel happy wherever you go, if you are alone, even if you stand in front of the most beautiful scenery in the world, you must not be happy." Zhao Zheng said with emotion.
"That makes sense." Shen Luoxia nodded, her lips fell, and she took another small bite of the steamed bun.
After lunch, the two continued to ride on horseback, and after more than an hour, they finally arrived at Qibao County. Hongchen Inn has an eyeliner in Qibao County, and there is also a property, Shen Luoxia instructed Zhao Zheng how to go, and went straight there.
After arriving at the courtyard, Zhao Zheng knocked on the door. The door was opened by a young man who looked like a hundred jīng. Shen Luoxia poked her head out of the carriage, greeted the young man, and introduced Zhao Zheng to the man.
This young man is Shen Luoxia's eyeliner left in Qibao County, and he doesn't have to do anything in Pingrì, just find out the news in the county for the Hongchen Inn, and if there is any big or small matter, he will use a carrier pigeon to report it. He had a very easy job, and often made several busy people in the inn jealous.
As soon as the eyeliner heard that Zhao was Shen Luoxia's godbrother, his attitude immediately became polite, and he beckoned Zhao Zheng to drive into the courtyard.
Zhao Zheng tied the carriage and looked around. The yard was unusual, just an ordinary farmhouse, and the yard was empty, with no flowers or trees, just a flock of cooing pigeons.
After Shen Luoxia dismounted, she asked softly, "Little brother, are you tired?" If you're not tired, I'll take you around the county, and if you're tired, we'll not go out today and rest here for the night. ”
"I'm not tired, I'd love to go out for a walk." Zhao Zheng had the intention of taking this opportunity to explore the "quest NPC" in the Laifu Market in Qibao County, even if he didn't meet with the other party, he would find out this person first.
"Okay, then let's go now, go to the ready-to-wear shop first, and then take you to the casino to play two, if you don't mind, my sister will take you to drink flower wine in the evening to open your eyes."
"Uh...... It's a bit early for me to drink flower wine at my age, right? ”
"How old are you?"
"Sixteen years old." Zhao Zheng really didn't have any confidence in his age, just speculation.
"At the age of sixteen, there are already many people who have started a family, and it's not too early. Besides, I'm just taking you to see the world, and I don't plan to find you a girl to sleep with. "Shen Luoxia is uninhibited and uninhibited, and he will not be shy at all when he talks about this kind of topic.
"In that case...... Then it's all up to my sister to arrange. "Zhao Zheng really has no reason to refuse such a good thing.
"Shopkeeper, I haven't drunk flower wine either, why don't you take me to see the world?" As soon as the eyeliner heard about drinking flower wine, he immediately came to the god jīng.
"You're beautiful!" Shen Luoxia rolled her beautiful eyes and glanced at the man, "You are responsible for staying and watching the house, and in addition, feed the horses well, and if you want to drink flower wine, just find this horse to accompany you to drink." ”
