Chapter 355
It's just that Su Jinyao and their carriage had just entered the town not long ago, and a man who looked like a man stood on the side of the road and looked at them, and then beckoned.
Su Jinyao was very strange, pulled the carriage to stop, and asked, "Is this little brother greeting us?" ”
The guy nodded and asked, "May I ask if it's Miss Su Jinyao Liu?" I'm a guy from the Town Joy Inn, and my shopkeeper told me to wait for you here. ”
"Who's your shopkeeper?" Su Jinyao is weird, could it be that the shopkeeper here knows himself?
Instead, Su Jinyao wondered if Ma Liu had sent someone to arrange it in advance? After all, Ma Liu said that car and horse shops all over the country are preparing to open one after another.
However, I haven't heard that there is a Yuelai Inn in such a close town.
The guy said, "My shopkeeper's surname is He, but the shopkeeper also came to invite the girl according to the instructions of the guests." ”
"Guest commands? Which guest? Su Jinyao was full of doubts again, feeling that this matter (qíng) was a little strange.
The man said, "The girl went with me." My shopkeeper has been preparing it himself, the house is clean, and the meals are being cooked. ”
Su Jinyao looked at the guy again, and felt that he didn't look like a bad guy or a liar.
What's more, even if it is really a bold bandit, Su Jinyao really doesn't care.
I don't know, if I really met a bad guy, I didn't come for the box of gold in their car.
Ben from
Gu Shangqing escorted
Su Jinyao asked the guy to get into the car, sat on the wheel and instructed Dongzi to catch the car. She rode on horseback to the side, keeping an eye on the surrounding streets and shops.
I didn't find anything suspicious along the way, and after walking two streets and turning a corner, I saw an inn with a small façade.
On the flag in front of the inn, there is a blue cloth banner with four big characters written "Happy to come", and the small characters on the falling corner are written "Yuelai Inn".
Su Jinyao felt that this inn was still (tǐng) interesting, at least looking at this flag, she felt that the owner of this inn was more knowledgeable.
The man jumped out of the carriage, stood at the door, and shouted inside, "Shopkeeper, your guest has arrived." Then he came over and said to Su Jinyao: "Miss Liu, please come in, I'll help you lead the horse to the backyard." ”
Su Jinyao jumped off the horse and said, "No, my horse (xìng) Zilie, ordinary people can't take it away." You help Dongzi stabilize the carriage, and after turning around and pulling the carriage away, Dongzi will help me lead the horse. ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao tied Mo Yun to the tree in front of the door first, and went to the side of the car to say to the people in the car: "Qi Niang, Ziruo, I'll go first to take a look, you clean up and come down." ”
Ziruo and Qi Niang agreed, Xiuning jumped out of the car and said, "I'll accompany the master in." ”
Su Jinyao nodded and said to Xiuning: "I'll talk to the shopkeeper in a while, you and your buddies will go to each room and pick a few spacious and comfortable rooms." ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao gave a slight look, asking Xiuning to pay close attention to the situation of each house.
Xiu Ning understood and nodded quietly.
As he was talking, a shopkeeper came out of it and said with a smile: "Your guest is coming, please come in." The girl came in to take a look, and if there was anything she was not satisfied with, I and the insiders immediately changed it. ”
Su Jinyao agreed casually and said, "Okay, then my maid will take a look at each house, okay?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Of course it will work." The cleaning has been cleaned, and the bedding in each house has been changed, but I don't know if the girl has any other requirements. ”
Su Jinyao nodded at Xiuning, and Xiuning went to take a look at each room. Each room was open to no guests, and it was clear from the hall that the inn was clean and had just been carefully swept because of the slightly damp water stains on the floor.
Su Jinyao's eyes swept through the front hall, and she didn't see a small wooden sign with the word "Ya" hanging on it. If you think about it carefully, this is not a traffic artery, and Ma Liu should not choose to open an inn here.
She simply asked directly: "Shopkeeper, do you know Ma Liu from Anji City?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Ma Liu from Anji City? I don't know. We have two people named Ma Liu, and one is deaf. ”
Su Jinyao frowned, and then suddenly a person flashed in her mind, and asked, "Then is this inn chartered by an elegant son?" The kind of noble son who looks handsome and quiet? ”
"yes." The shopkeeper nodded and said, "That son is probably ...... I came here two hours ago. He took twenty taels of silver, and said that he had chartered our inn for two days. The requirement is to be clean, very clean, quiet, very quiet. And let us go and greet a girl surnamed Liu, and then I told you about your characteristics. It is said that you are riding a most beautiful white horse, and (shēn) is a comfortable carriage on the side, which is very recognizable. ”
Su Jinyao's heart shrank slightly, and a kind of irritability arose. But in addition to that kind of irritability, there was also a bit of longing, and Gu Shangqing's eyes kept flashing when she arranged all this for her.
Su Jinyao asked, "Then where is he going now?" Did you leave any words, or notes, or anything? ”
"Nope. The boy said he was tired and wanted to find a place to rest, and then left. The shopkeeper said, scratched his head, and said, "I also said at the time, this is the inn, please rest here, but he shook his head and smiled bitterly and left." ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper also peeked at Su Jinyao, which seemed to be looking at a pair of young couples who were beating (qíng) and scolding.
Su Jinyao glared at him, turned (shēn) out, and helped Qi Niang get out of the car with Ziruo.
Dongzi said that he could come in with Qi Niang on his back, but Qi Niang insisted on refusing, and in the end, Su Jinyao and Zi Ruo helped him into the door.
Although the inn is not large, it also has seven rooms. Two of them are upper rooms, which are in the best condition and the most spacious. The other two rooms are a little worse, but they are also very clean. One of the remaining three rooms is a small single room, a very small one, and the other two are bunks.
Because the inn is chartered, so just live casually. Even if Dongzi wants to roll and sleep in the Tongpu house, it will be done.
Su Jinyao arranged for Qi Niang and Ziruo to live in the best two upper rooms.
Qi Niang didn't say anything, Zi Ruo hurriedly said: "Sister Jinyao, out of the Red Sleeve Workshop, I am not a character." Now I'm going to follow you again, and you're my master. So there are two rooms in this room, and you and Qi Niang are just one room. Xiuning and I live in a slightly smaller one, and it's also very clean. ”
Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this: "You haven't worked for me yet, so it's so clear?" Now let you live for a few stays, you haven't officially done anything for me, even if it's my sister. Wait until the specific place and location arranged for you in the future, and I will be your master unceremoniously. ”
Zi Ruo had the heart to be humble, so Qi Niang pressed her hand and said, "Forget it, Jin Yao will let you live." Besides, you live next door to me, so it's convenient to come and see me at night, don't let Jinyao run one by one, let her rest in peace. After all, along the way, she has to take care of it before and after. ”
Ziruo listened, and then agreed to live in the best two upper rooms with Qi Niang.
Xiuning chose another room adjacent to Qi Niang, but left the slightly farther and quietest room to Su Jinyao.
Dongzi said that he couldn't live in that small room, so he went directly to sleep in the Chase Shop, saying that the place was big and his heart was bright. Looks like I'm really planning to roll around the bunk at night.
After settling down, the shopkeeper let his daughter-in-law cook for himself. said that it was usually the guy who cooked, and the guy's craftsmanship was not very good, so he changed the proprietress to the hostess.
After eating, Su Jinyao gave Qi Niang acupuncture again, and then wrote another prescription, asking the guy to grab the medicine and come back to fry Qi Niang.
It wasn't until Qi Niang finished taking the medicine and felt better that she didn't hurt much, that Su Jinyao and Zi Ruo helped her walk around the yard to see the moonlight and stars, and then settled her to sleep.
When the lights in each room were extinguished, Su Jinyao still couldn't sleep. She put on her clothes and came out, and stood in the small patio and looked up at the sky.
If the moon is not round today, it should be almost the middle of the month.
and Gu Shangqing to see the night view
Su Jinyao also asked before, saying that there is no custom of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Cloud Dome Kingdom, which is different from our ancient China.
If the Mid-Autumn Festival is also celebrated here, then it will be August 15 in a few days.
For such a festival (rì), Su Jinyao had never had any impression before, but she just felt ridiculous.
In fact, she now understands that it was when she was alone (shēn), and she felt loneliness in her bones, so she would laugh at those who had a home and a happy reunion.
Now looking at the moon that is about to be perfected and feeling the autumn mood, Su Jinyao can't help but tighten her clothes tightly draped on (shēn).
She didn't know what Gu Xuebin, who was far away in the capital, was doing, and she didn't know if he looked at the moon like this and thought about himself?
"Jinyao, what are you thinking?" Gu Shangqing's voice suddenly came from above his head.
As soon as Su Jinyao looked up, she saw him sitting on the eaves and looking down.
The moonlight was opposite him, just shining on his white and handsome face, and the moonlight set off his whole person more and more softly. Especially his concerned eyes at this time, spread out like moonlight.
Su Jinyao shook her head slightly, and the irritability and disgust she had for him in her heart before was inexplicably alleviated a little.
"Do you want to come up and have a look? This moonlit town is also very funny. Gu Shangqing said, leaning down (shēn) and stretching out his hand towards Su Jinyao.
Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps back, but it was a run-up and then slammed into the vertical (shēn), jumped up and grabbed Gu Shangqing's hand.
Gu Shangqing took advantage of his strength to lift up and pull Su Jinyao onto the roof. But the clothes that Su Jinyao (shēn) was wearing fell straight down when Su Jinyao was longitudinal (shēn).
Su Jinyao said "ah", and wanted to go to get the clothes, but the clothes fell directly to the ground, where could they still reach them?
Su Jinyao has the heart to jump down and pick it up again? So why are you coming up?
Gu Shangqing smiled slightly, unbuttoned the placket of his clothes, took off his coat and put it on Su Jinyao's (shēn), and said, "This one of mine is warmer, you can try it." ”
Su Jinyao only felt that her shoulders were heavy, and the cheongsam had already fallen on her shoulders. With the body temperature on Gu Shangqing (shēn), and a faint scent of sandalwood on him (shēn).
The length of the clothes reached the ground, Gu Shangqing casually pulled out the dagger and cut it off, and then said, "It's just right now." ”
Su Jinyao took a breath, looked at Gu Shangqing for a long time, and finally accepted it, and whispered "thank you".
"Jinyao, you don't need to be so polite, I'm your brother, and I should have spoiled you like this." After Gu Shangqing finished speaking, he grabbed Su Jinyao's shoulder, made her turn (shēn), pointed ahead and said, "Look over there, isn't it beautiful?" ”
Su Jinyao looked in the direction of Gu Shangqing's finger and saw that it was exactly the direction of the moonlight. A patchwork of dwellings, coupled with a small river flowing leisurely, is like a quiet ink painting, with a deliberate tranquility and peace in the night.
The black night is used as a background, and a bright moon shines in the sky, and the twinkling stars become the embellishment.
The houses are leisurely, and there is a strong smell of fireworks when you look at the past; The surface of the river is dappled with moonlight, and if you listen closely, you can hear the slight sound of running water.
Gu Shangqing said: "How beautiful, quiet, comfortable, so quiet that people can't help but want to sleep." I don't feel tired only when I look at such a beautiful scenery. ”
Su Jinyao was also stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed." The prosperity of the world is the same, but there is a place of happiness in the quiet. Such a tranquil beauty is indeed beautiful. ”
"Jinyao, it's really surprising that you can also appreciate this beauty." After Gu Shangqing finished speaking, he smiled softly and said, "I originally thought that you would prefer brilliant jewels and mountains of gold and silver." You (shēn) are murderous and tacky, you are an out-and-out businessman, and the number that increases in your account every time (rì) is already surprising even to the people of the Helian family. ”
Su Jinyao also smiled when she heard this, and said, "If you fill this river with gold, silver and jewelry now, I will smile brighter than now, and I will feel that it is delicate and beautiful." ”
"That'...... Brother try. Gu Shangqing nodded very seriously.
When Su Jinyao saw him nodding, she suddenly felt bored in her heart, if Gu Shangqing was really so cheesy, she would start to hate him again.
But as soon as Su Jinyao's thought came out, she heard Gu Shangqing say again: "However, Jinyao, you remember to leave and find the shopkeeper to settle the account, and the extra money will have to be collected." Brother, I am actually not a rich man, and the reason why I took out twenty taels of silver at once is because I am afraid that he will treat you poorly. By the time you're ready to go, the checkout will be nothing. I'm going to save up and fill that river for you." ”
Su Jinyao listened to it, and laughed again. It seems that Gu Shangqing is not such a cheesy and boring person.
As a result, Gu Shangqing said again: "It is said that the distance view is small, and the near view is large." We stood here and looked at the river, a very small one, but if we got closer, it might be very big and very deep. I may have to save up for many years before I can save a cart of gold and silver, and if I fall down, I may not be able to fill it up. ”
Su Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you know that you (tǐng) are like a person?" ”
"Who?" Gu Shangqing asked very seriously.
"Like ...... Helian Tianqi. The current head of the Helian family. Su Jinyao sat down, looked at the quiet night, and said, "You and him seem to be two completely different types. But when you intersect, you will find that they are all unreliable (xìng) children. A serious nonsense. ”
"He's cousins, guess?" After Gu Shangqing finished speaking, he said with a smile: "You and him are cousins." ”
Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and her mind turned for a while before she remembered that the Queen Mother was a member of the Gu family, and Helian Tianqi was the grandson of the Queen Mother, and she was really a relative.
But Su Jinyao didn't want to admit her relationship with the Gu family, let alone be implicated, so as soon as Gu Shangqing mentioned this, she stood up (shēn) and said, "I'm sleepy, go back to sleep." ”
"Well, I'll send you down." After Gu Shangqing finished speaking, he was about to pull Su Jinyao's wrist, probably wanting to put her down, or pull her down with him.
Su Jinyao raised her hand slightly and shook it off, and said, "I can go down by myself." After saying that, a vertical (shēn) jumped down, although it was not as silent as a light gong, but it was also light and agile, (shēn) Zi Miaoman.
Gu Shangqing smiled and said, "Whatever you want." The girl is just a little stubborn in her temper. ”
Su Jinyao frowned, raised her head and said to Gu Shangqing, "Don't follow me anymore." If you arrange for me to go all the way to Mingyang City, I won't be grateful to you, and I won't recognize you. Also, don't call yourself 'brother' in the future, I'll beat people." ”
You are the blessing of Qi Niang
Gu Shangqing smiled, didn't answer Su Jinyao's words, and jumped away from the roof with a turn (shēn).
Su Jinyao watched Gu Shangqing's (shēn) shadow disappear into the moonlight, and she had the urge to ask where he was going.
Then, Su Jinyao glared in that direction and muttered, "I really won't get (qíng), I'm a hard-hearted person." ”
But is her heart really hard? They just looked at the town under the moonlight, that kind of tranquility and beauty, is it fake?
Su Jinyao shook her head, not wanting to give herself any answers, and turned (shēn) into the house.
After a good night's sleep, Su Jinyao slept exceptionally comfortably. In the morning, she still heard the movement in the yard, and Su Jinyao woke up.
Su Jinyao hurriedly dressed up and pushed the door out, and saw that Xiuning was already delivering water to each house.
As soon as she saw Su Jinyao (shēn), Xiu Ning hurriedly said, "Master, did you wake you up?" I should have been a little lighter. ”
Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "It's okay, I don't blame you, it's me who got up late." How about Qi Niang? ”
Xiuning replied, "(tǐng) Okay." I gave Qi Niang medicine in the morning, and now Miss Ziruo is with her. I wasn't just going to send water over and wash Qi Niang. ”
Su Jinyao pulled her hair and said, "Give me the basin, I'll go over and take a look." After speaking, he took the copper basin in Xiuning's hand and entered Qi Niang's house.
Ziruo has not washed or put on makeup yet, she looks a little haggard when she wakes up in the morning, and the luster on her face is less, not as pink and moving as after makeup. Perhaps, this is the reason why she wants to be good.
As soon as Su Jinyao came in, Ziruo covered her face with a "yes" sound, and said, "The little girl didn't knock when she came in, I haven't washed my face yet." ”
