Chapter 33: The Guest Inn
At the same time, an inn in the capital.
The harsh sunlight shines through the evergreen trees at the inn. The evergreen trees are verdant, and under its cover, the antique inn is particularly cool.
The inn, there are three floors of pavilions, divided into heaven, earth, and the number of the wings, the interior and exterior of the building are decorated with carvings and carvings that are very beautiful, and the pavilions can see the endless flow of pedestrians through the elegant carved windows, even at noon in September.
Occasionally, merchants riding horses, or children of wealthy families who drink alcohol, foreign tourists in plain clothes, you come and go, and all kinds of pedestrians shuttle through this bustling market.
Between the streets and alleys, teahouses, pawnshops, workshops, hanging market banners, soliciting business.
In the air, from time to time, there is a mellow and rich aroma of wine, and occasionally a rich aroma mixed with spices comes from the opposite side.
Take a closer look, directly opposite, two shops, hanging market signs, a word incense, a word wine, in the people between the people are particularly eye-catching.
The door of the inn is carved along the middle plaque with four pleasing and elegant characters 'Guest Inn', and the name of the inn is novel and unique.
In the inn, the guests came like clouds, and the figure of the shopkeeper walked upstairs and downstairs, and occasionally shouted "Guest officer, please inside." I saw that the shopkeeper stretched out his hand, respectfully and politely, and led the guest to the side room.
Another voice came, "Guest officer, please go." The shopkeeper stood next to him, bending down and bowing in respect. It's a busy moment.
In the inn, outside the attic, a man and a woman sat in a corner not far from the mouth of the escalator, two people sneaky, ragged, and very tattered. The middle-aged man looked sad and said with regret: "These brothers really know how to choose the place, but it's a pity that Lao Tzu has so much silver, and Lao Tzu's heart is dripping blood." ”
The middle-aged woman said disdainfully: "Look at your bear-like, what do you know?" What is this bit of silver? Is it okay not to follow them? When their traces are discovered, it will be easier for us to act. ”
The middle-aged man said with a hateful face: "I knew that I should have sold that dead girl three years ago, and I didn't have to waste so many silver taels from Lao Tzu." Now people can't find it, and the brothers are in the way. ”
The middle-aged woman seemed to mock: "Hmph, although I am not biological, after all, I am young, if I made a promise three years ago, it will inevitably make people criticize, do you and I still want to live." The dead girl didn't raise her in vain after all, in three years, the dowry has risen a lot of silver, and the old man of the Mu family has come out to five hundred taels, as for people, hmph, we have to find her before the dead girl finds the Shen family brother to take revenge, otherwise, when they confront us, our affairs will be exposed, no matter how bad it is, it is not impossible for the master of the Mu family to tie one from somewhere else. Then, a greedy gaze was revealed.
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Yes, it's still the old woman's thoughtfulness." Then he lamented again: "If only the young master of the Mu family was not a sick man, he became our son-in-law, and our family would be on the rise." ”
"Hmph, are you dreaming again? If the young master of the Mu family wasn't a sick man, could he turn that dead girl? Even these five hundred taels can't reach us. The middle-aged woman said with disdain on her face.
"Also, the lesson of the old woman is that you are the right person to call the shots." The middle-aged man flattered and flattered in every possible way.
The more they are afraid that others will hear it, the more they will not be able to do so.
In the attic, at an adjacent table, two delicate and clear, flowery and moon-looking girls saw their words clearly, and they were very angry.
The woman in blue stood up suddenly, as if she wanted to find a theory with the two people, but was stopped by the woman in pink beside her. "What are you going to do? We are all unable to protect ourselves, and can we still take care of other people's affairs? Besides, they speak so quietly that no one around them hears them, we know lip language, what if they say we make it up out of thin air? You're so impulsive, and it won't help. Are you reasoning with these two madmen? ”
I saw that the woman in blue looked at each other angrily, and looked at the woman in pink incredulously, "Is that it?" ”
The woman in pink persuaded: "I know you're angry, wait until we find the little girl they are talking about?" What's more, how big is the matter of the young master of the Mu family's marriage, can the people in the capital not spread it? ”
The woman in blue slapped the table with both hands, and there was a "snap", and the guests in the pavilion looked at each other in surprise.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The middle-aged man and woman were frightened, and their faces turned pale.
Outside the attic of the herringbone room, in front of the ash table, a young man in light blue plain clothes sits in the whole plaster, and the sun shines through the window lattice on the young man's layered dense black hair, forming a beautiful light, even if there is only the back, the clean and slender back also makes people hallucinate.
The young man held one hand on the table, one hand picked up the teacup, his hands were slender and slender, the young man thoughtfully took a sip of tea, and then looked up at the stairs leading to the Tianzi number, only one glance, and a smile bloomed in an instant, the young man's eyes were like a clear spring, red lips and white teeth, quite a jade tree in the wind.
The same was true of the boy on the escalator. The young man on the escalator walked to the table unhurriedly, and sat down on the stool gently: "We have finally arrived in the capital." ”
The words and demeanors of the two attracted the attention of the other table. A man with an unattractive appearance said, "These are not the two brothers of the Shen family? Didn't they be banished to Shenjiazhuang by Master Shen? These two people didn't stay in Shenjiazhuang, why did they come to the capital? Could it be that the master of the Shen family in the capital sent someone to bring his two sons back? The man was surprised and said to the man in front of him.
His friend immediately tugged at his sleeve, like a pins and needles, and said, "Be quiet, let these two hear it, and we'll be unlucky." Immediately, he quietly took out the silver taels and put them on the table. While these two brothers are not paying attention, let's leave quickly, we can't afford to provoke, let's hide. ”
The unattractive one urged his friend: "Also, go quickly, go quickly." ”
The Shen family brothers naturally felt an extraordinary gaze and looked over here.
The two of them hurried out of the store.
The shopkeeper was very surprised, and wanted to call them out, but Yu Guang glanced at the silver taels left on the table, and shouted: "Guest officer, please go." ”
This sound only frightened the two of them into staggering and fled in embarrassment.
It turned out that the Shen brothers stayed at this inn.
"Brother, I've finally arrived in the capital." Shen Yi was cautious, for fear of saying the wrong thing.
Shen Yu held the teacup in his hand and said thoughtfully: "Yes, let's see if there is any way to enter the palace now." ”
Outside the inn, the noise came, disturbing the guests in the inn, and they all ran to watch the excitement.
The Shen brothers were no exception, hiding in the crowd.
At this time, there were only three or three guests left in the inn, and the shopkeeper could rest for a while.
