Chapter 040: Be a man and have pursuits

It was getting late, Lei Biao instructed Jixiang to find a better inn to stay in, and when he arrived at the inn, he asked for a first-class room and an ordinary room, and then ordered a table of dishes to fill his stomach.

On the way to eat, Lin Xia said with a disgusted face, "This green vegetable is too old, I feel like I can be my grandfather." Also, don't you need money for salt now, every dish is salty to death, it's deadly. ”

It just so happened that their table was close to the counter, and the shopkeeper listened to what Lin Xia said word for word, and his face was a little ugly.

Ji Xiang happened to sit opposite the shopkeeper, saw the shopkeeper's expression clearly, and couldn't help but smile, "Madam, these foods when you go out are definitely not as delicious and fresh as those made at home, so you can eat as much as you like." ”

Lin Xia's face was not good-looking, and he put down his chopsticks in disgust. "I think I've got to figure out something light to eat on the road."

Jixiang replied: "Yes, steamed buns and flatbread!" ”

Lin Xia rolled his eyes and said, "You have to be a little bit of a pursuit, okay!" ”

Ji Xiang's neck shrunk and nodded again and again, "Madam, you know more than us." ”

Lei Biao also put down his chopsticks after eating, looked at Lin Xia and said, "Xia'er, you've only eaten a few bites, and you'll be hungry at night." ”

"When weight loss!"

Speaking of losing weight, it's another big sad thing for Lin Xia. During this time in ancient times, she really ate a lot of weight, she didn't know when she ate so many things, and there was a circle of meat on her stomach.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia felt a little sad.

"Have you eaten enough, let's go back to our room to rest, I'm sleepy." Lin Xia said to Lei Biao.

Saying that, the two went back to the room, leaving Jixiang to eat at the dinner table silently, so many dishes are wasted.

went up to the second floor and found his room, and when he opened the door and looked at the furnishings in the room, Lin Xia was almost about to swear.

Jixiang opened them a first-class room, the best room in the inn, but what appeared in front of Lin Xia was: a half-old wooden bed, two thin layers of red and green bedding on the wooden bed, a narrow wardrobe, a round table, and four wooden stools, all gone.

"Did the shopkeeper open the wrong room? It's an inferior room, right? Lin Xia looked at Lei Biao in disbelief, wanting him to tell him that it was indeed the shopkeeper who opened the wrong room.

But it backfired.

"That's how it usually goes in a superior room." Lei Biao replied calmly.

Lin Xia clenched his hands into fists, rolled his eyes, and scolded wildly in his heart:, such a ghostly and shabby is actually a first-class room? I was red by the costume drama. Naked deception! Heaven and earth, I suddenly miss the modern five-star hotel......

"I think we can consider opening an inn." Lin Xia said to Lei Biao very cautiously.

Lei Biao saw that Lin Xia was very repulsed by the environment of this high-class room, and with an understated smile on his face, "Okay, I'll accompany you whatever you want." ”

One night, Lin Xia slept very uncomfortably.

got up early in the morning and went to the street to eat a bowl of noodles at random, and Lei Biao and Lin Xia went directly to the largest tooth shop in Chaoyang Mansion.

The boss of the tooth shop was an old man, looking very shrewd, and seeing that Lei Biao and Lin Xia did not have the slightest slackness, he said politely: "Two, please drink tea." ”

Lei Biao and Lin Xia took a sip of tea meaningfully and listened to the boss's introduction.

"I wonder what kind of people you are looking for? Our dental store is the largest dental store in Chaoyang Mansion, almost all kinds of people have it, if we can't buy the right one here, then we can't buy it in other dental stores in Chaoyang Mansion. ”

Lei Biao said succinctly, "Twelve to fourteen years old, dead deeds, healthy and young people are called out." ”

"Okay, please wait." The boss hurriedly instructed the guy to choose someone to come over, and turned to Lei Biao and said, "You drink tea." ”

After a while, the man came out with more than forty teenagers between the ages of twelve and fourteen, lined up in several rows, tall and short, fat and thin.

The teenagers looked at Lei Biao nervously, not knowing what this person was going to buy them for, but in any case, they had no qualifications and the right to refuse.

"I wonder if the guests are satisfied?" The boss asked, "Rest assured, these children are in good health, if you don't believe it, you can ask a doctor to check on the spot." ”

Lin Xia raised his head and swept around the teenagers, thinking to himself: How does this picture look a bit like the picture that appeared in some ineffable place?

Lin Xia shook his head violently, trying to dissipate the evil picture in his mind.

Lei Biao ignored the boss, his sharp eyes swept over the teenagers one by one, and his tone was secretly majestic: "What is the most important thing for the subordinate?" ”

The boss was smart enough not to speak again.

The teenagers were inexplicably asked by this question, and they looked at each other one after another, some were silent, some replied "obedient", some replied "capable", some replied "clever", and some replied "loyal".

Lei Biao left all the loyal children behind, a total of ten people.

"Take the rest with you." The boss instructed the guy.

Lei Biao was slightly satisfied after sweeping around, and motioned to the boss, "It's just these ten people." ”

The boss hurriedly walked over and said, "There are ten of them, each with eight taels of silver." ”

Lei Biao nodded, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it to him.

"Thank you for your patronage." The boss checked the authenticity of the silver ticket and found Lei Biao for twenty taels of silver, "I don't know if the son wants to recruit a few maids for your wife?" ”

Lin Xia, who was suddenly named, looked confused, she was still immersed in Lei Biao's handsome appearance just now, "What kind of maid?" ”

Lei Biao glanced at Lin Xia, who was in a daze, and his heart softened a little, "Xia'er, do you want to recruit a handmaid to serve you?" ”

Lin Xia pondered in her heart for a moment, thinking that what if she recruited a maid to seduce Lei Biao, wouldn't she have to share a man with this maid? After all, in ancient times, three wives and four concubines were admired!

Thinking of this, Lin Xia shook his head violently, "No need, no need, no need!" ”

Lei Biao nodded, and did not ask Lin Xia the reason. Take out a tael and throw it to the boss, "Buy two days' dry food for these ten people, and hire two fast carriages." ”

The boss took the silver and said, "Don't worry, Childe, I will prepare it for you." ”

Lei Biao and Lin Xia sat for less than ten minutes, and the boss had already done the matter. hired two two-horse carriages, the carriages were much larger than those of Lei Biao and Lin Xia, and the two people who drove the carriage were also good hands.

Lei Biao asked the ten young men to bring their things into the carriage, and then let his carriage lead the way in the front and go directly out of the city.

The road was safe and sound, but it was already night when I arrived in Qinghou County, and suddenly it was pouring rain, lightning and thunder.

Lin Xia was a little flustered when he heard the thunder and rain outside the carriage, and nestled in Lei Biao's arms and said, "It's raining so hard, there won't be any problems, right?" ”

Lei Biao patted Lin Xia's back gently, "No problem, don't be afraid, I'll be home soon." ”

When they approached the door of the house, they saw Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu standing at the door with umbrellas and watching, and they all smiled when they saw the carriage coming by, and the two hurriedly opened the door.

Ji Xiang was about to enter the gate with a carriage, and shouted loudly to Uncle Fu: "Uncle Fu, there are hired people behind." ”

Uncle Fu nodded again and again, and was about to hand over the umbrella, but the people in the carriage jumped down one after another, not caring about the extent of the rain.

The carriage stopped directly in front of the door of the small building, and Cuiyu, who was standing at the door and waiting, immediately held the umbrella and handed it to Lei Biao, Lei Biao took it and carefully supported Lin Xia, most of the positions blocked Lin Xia, and one side of the shoulder was wet.

After entering the living room, Lin Xia realized that the clothes on Lei Biao's side were already soaked, and said anxiously, "Why are you wet, go and change your clothes." ”

Cuiyu hurriedly said, "Old lady, I have already prepared hot water for you in the bathroom, hurry up and take a hot bath." ”

Lin Xia nodded, dragged Lei Biao to the bathroom on the second floor to take a hot shower, and changed into clean clothes.

After going downstairs, Cuiyu had already cooked tomato egg noodles for them, which Cuiyu also learned from Lin Xia.

Before he could eat two bites, Uncle Fu hurriedly came over, "Master, madam, the people have been arranged, two people in one room." Now I am asking Aunt Fu to cook noodles for them to eat, and the other two coachmen are worried that the rain will not stop for a while and a half, and it is almost dark, so let me ask if you can stay with them for the night, and then hurry tomorrow at dawn. ”

Lin Xia listened to the sound of the rain outside the window, nodded and said, "Let Aunt Fu cook some noodles for them to eat, it's not easy to catch the car." ”

Uncle Fu nodded in response and withdrew.

After eating the noodles, the two of them were lazy and put the dishes and chopsticks on the table directly, went upstairs and lay down to sleep directly, after all, in the upper class room last night, Lei Biao and Lin Xia did not sleep well.

As soon as the sky came out, a faint white light passed through the window sealed with white veil, Lin Xia rarely woke up first, but she didn't get up, but lay on her side to face Lei Biao, carefully observing the man who was still asleep in front of her.

The face is as angular as a knife, the thick eyebrows are handsome, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the thick mouth is drooping, the more I look at it, the more I like it, Lin Xia couldn't help but stretch out his fingers, gently swiped through his nose, and slowly came to the closed eyes, and carefully touched his long eyelashes.

Lei Biao suddenly frowned slightly, and the frightened Lin Xia quickly retracted his hand, not daring to breathe, staring at Lei Biao's next move, before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Xia didn't dare to touch him anymore, so he sat up gently, wanting to get out of bed and freshen up, but he was hugged from behind and pressed on the bed.

"Ah......" Lin Xia screamed softly, seeing that Lei Biao lying next to him had opened his eyes, and said helplessly, "I, I, did I wake you up?" ”

"Why don't you continue?" Lei Biao's voice was very low, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"W-"

Suddenly, Lei Biao turned over, pressed Lin Xia under him, and sealed Lin Xia's lips.
