Chapter 370: Staying overnight
As her words fell, a long dragon suddenly crossed the sky, and a loud bang completely drowned out the voice. Tian Jiyao felt the air around her vibrate.
As soon as the thunder passed, the sky turned from bright to dark, like a signal, and the rain was overwhelming, and the rain under the eaves was strung into a beaded curtain, crackling on the masonry outside the post station, grinding extremely brightly.
The dirt was soaked, and the rut marks left in the courtyard outside had long since turned into several narrow puddles, muddy.
The autumn wind with a hint of coolness swept in from the wide open post gate with the rain, and the faces of the people who pounced were cold, Tian Jiyao couldn't help but shiver, Shen Yun took a thick coat from the unwet luggage and immediately draped it on her, "Be careful not to catch a cold." ”
The innkeeper looked at the appearance of the two of them, and laughed loudly: "It seems that this is a day to keep guests, this day the rain road is slippery, muddy and difficult to walk, even the old horse may not be able to find a correct way in this downpour." ”
He persuaded: "If you are not safe, I think you two might as well rest in the small shop, and there is a high probability that you will not be able to find the groom now." Why don't you wait for the rain to stop and leave tomorrow morning? Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to meet at this time! ”
At this moment, there was a carriage going and returning outside, and Ling Xue was surrounded by people, but in this weather, it was inevitable that there would be some muddy water on the upper of her clothes and shoes, but even if it was untidy, her beautiful and cold face was still a very special scenery in this inn.
Someone called: "Shopkeeper, prepare an upper room, my young lady wants to live in the hotel!" Remember to bring hot soup to it. ”
"Okay, I'll be right away!" The innkeeper immediately responded and ran over to greet the guests.
Although Tian Jiyao only saw a side face, she immediately recognized that the Qingli woman who was surrounded was the Miss Ling who had carried them on their ride just now. It should also be because the road is difficult to walk, so I turned around to avoid the rain and stayed overnight.
Her heart moved, and she said to Shen Yun: "Then let's stay here for one night today and set off tomorrow." ”
Shen Yun nodded and called the guys in the store, but he was told that it was okay to stay in the hotel, but because of today's special situation, there was only one room left.
"What?" Tian Jiyao was surprised, "Where is there such a coincidence, didn't there be a lot of people living just now?" ”
The owner of the inn rushed over when he heard the sound, "I'm really sorry, you also saw that we are a small post station here, and there are more people staying in the hotel because of the heavy rain today." But even if there is only one room, it won't be a big problem for the two of you! ”
The innkeeper smiled ambiguously at them, "If I'm not mistaken, you behaved intimately before, you should be husband and wife, right?" Isn't it a natural thing for this husband and wife to live in one room? ”
Tian Jiyao was speechless, but Shen Yun took the key to the room with a calm demeanor, the tips of her ears were slightly red, and she didn't forget to say: "The shopkeeper is really sharp-eyed, we are indeed husband and wife." ”
This time, the smile of the post station owner was even bigger, and Rao is Tian Jiyao was blushed by his eyes, urging him to go upstairs.
Back in the room, Tian Jiyao immediately changed into clean clothes, and dried her half-wet hair with a dry handkerchief, the owner of this post station was also considerate, and specially sent two bowls of ginger soup to ward off the cold, Tian Jiyao sat at the table, picked up one of the bowls, drank it in small sips, and looked at the room.
Although this post station looks old from the outside, the things inside are not bad, that is, the room is smaller, but the furnishings of this room can be eye-catching, and there is no moisture and musty smell.
Shen Yun also changed his clothes and came out, Tian Jiyao immediately sent the ginger soup to him, and said solemnly: "Drink some quickly, don't catch a cold!" ”
"Where do I get caught so easily?" Shen Yun smiled, but still took a sip obediently, the spicy taste immediately spread to this mouth, he sniffed, and under the urging of Tian Jiyao's eyes, he didn't dare to dislike it, and drank it clean.
After a long pause, he continued, "Yaoyao, I see that you haven't looked away since you saw that Miss Ling today......
"Huh?" Is it so obvious? She thought she was hiding it well.
"I'm actually just a little curious, a little bit." Tian Jiyao pinched his fingers and explained.
Shen Yun glanced at her, although he didn't believe her overly perfunctory explanation, he still didn't continue to ask, after all, Ling Xue was just a woman, and there should be no threat.
Dinner is all gathered in the lobby to eat together, several square tables are put together into a big table, everyone eats at one table, all kinds of dishes are placed on the table, it looks very rich.
When Tian Jiyao and Shen Yun arrived, there were already many people sitting at the table, but Ling Xue didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional and vacant of the class, Tian Jiyao was not polite and sat down directly beside her.
"Miss Ling." Tian Jiyao greeted her warmly.
Ling Xue glanced at her and didn't speak, at this time, the inn owner also brought the meal, everyone was lively, and the atmosphere was just right.
Tian Jiyao picked up the rice in the bowl, and her eyes glanced at a woman with a cold face from time to time.
She gave birth to an excellent appearance, with a moth eyebrows, red lips and teeth, and the skin under the sideburns is even more delicate and smooth, such as jade and satin, only that pair of eyes, although they are beautiful, but they always make people feel that they are less brilliant, and the excitement in this lobby seems to be difficult to resonate with her, even if there is no noise around her, she can not hear or see, only concentrate on the one acre and three points of land in front of her, giving people a feeling that it is extremely difficult to provoke.
But Tian Jiyao knew that judging from her willingness to take them on a ride just now, this Miss Ling's heart was not as angular and indifferent as she was showing now.
"I haven't thanked Miss Ling for her kindness today, I don't know where Miss Ling is going on this trip?"
Tian Jiyao took the initiative to talk to Ling Xue, Ling Xue pursed her lips, looked at Tian Jiyao's gaze as if she was impatient, and said after a long time: "You are too polite, when you go out, it's just a matter of raising your hands, why bother to take it to heart." ”
Tian Jiyao laughed dryly, "It is precisely because of the meeting in Pingshui that I feel that it is even more precious." My name is Tian Jiyao, this time my husband and I are going to the capital this time, and I don't even have a companion along the way, if Miss Ling stops by, maybe we can still have a care when we go together, and I haven't asked Miss Ling's name yet......"
"You don't have to." Ling Xue didn't think about it, and directly refused.
After a pause, Xu felt that his attitude was really blunt and rude, so he slowed down his tone, but still answered her a question: "My surname is Ling, and I have a single word for snow." Nothing to ask. ”
