Noon Luoyang City

At noon, it was hot and there was not a hint of wind. In Luoyang City, the streets are quiet, only the noisy cries are heard, and the disturbing people are upset. There are not many vendors on both sides of the street, only a few who buy antique calligraphy and paintings and divination and divination, hiding in the shade, sitting on a chaise longue, shaking a fan in their hands, and almost drowsy with their eyes closed.

A Taoist priest who divined hexagrams, wearing a cyan robe, a Taoist bun on his head, and a floating dust on his elbows, was sitting in danger at the moment, his eyes were closed, and he didn't know what he was saying.

After a while, he suddenly stood up, gasping heavily through his nose. Maybe it was too hot, his face was purple-red, and large drops of sweat flowed down his forehead. He lifted his sleeve and wiped it slightly, and the sleeve was immediately stamped with a dark color. He looked around, and saw an inn in the distance, and he raised his leg and went straight to the inn.

There is only one inn in the west of Luoyang City, called Tonglin Inn. The inn was opened by a woman, this woman's name is Cai Wei, who is alone with a female baby, and opened this inn in Luoyang City a few years ago. Although the business is not very prosperous, it is enough for the mother and daughter to be fed and clothed, and in the peak season, there can be some surplus every month.

Luoyang City is not big, a beautiful woman opened an inn, and soon word of mouth spread, and everyone knew such an inn. And everyone is curious about Cai Wei's husband, but she never mentions it. Good people pestered, and was forced to be anxious, so she impatiently replied that she went to the border to fight, so everyone knew again, about to have returned to heaven, otherwise how could she never show up all these years.

Cai Wei is very beautiful, one point is too long, one point is too short, the powder is too white, and Shi Zhu is too red. Some prodigal disciples saw that there was no man in charge in her shop, so they called her attention. But who knew that the lady who usually looked like a weak willow supporting the wind was actually very spicy. Some people went to the inn to eat and drink, and then lewd and flirted, but they didn't want to be beaten out by Cai Wei with a boning knife, if they didn't escape quickly, they almost lost their lives. Since then, very few people dare to speak out, and some people think that she is not easy to provoke, and her business has been much colder. But Cai Wei was at peace and clean, and she didn't care about any losses.

When the Taoist priest came into the inn, it was already past the time to eat, and there was only one table of guests in the store. The little servant sat on a stool and took a nap with his head on his hands. A lady, dressed in a cyan Luo shirt and holding a fan in her hand, stood in front of the counter and wrote and calculated.

Hearing someone coming in, Cai Wei raised her head and smiled at the Taoist priest, "Yo, is the Taoist chief sharpening or staying in the hotel?" ”

The Taoist chief bowed slightly, "It's very hot this day, but what kind of tea is there to quench your thirst?" ”

Cai Wei put down the account book in her hand and walked out of the counter, gently shaking the fan in her hand, her figure was slender, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she looked forward to life step by step.

She took a closer look at the Taoist priest: "Look at the face of the Taoist chief, I'm afraid it's heat stroke, I have boiled mung bean soup here, with ice, the most heat-relieving heat." ”

The Taoist priest flicked his sleeves, picked up a stool and sat down, he pursed his dry and peeled lips, and arched his hand and said, "Please have a bowl of Madame." ”

Cai Wei picked up the teapot on the table and poured some tea into the cup, "Dao Chief, drink some tea to moisten your throat first, and then I will order someone to bring the mung bean water, and you wait a while." ”

After saying that, she walked towards the little maid who was almost asleep, and she walked over to the little maid and gently patted the little maid on the shoulder. The little guy seemed to be dreaming something, and was slapped by Cai Wei like this, and woke up suddenly, he suddenly stood up, and stared at Cai Wei with straight eyes, "What's the matter?" What happened? ”

Cai Wei squinted her eyes and smiled, and the little girl only felt a cold air coming, so she smirked twice.

Cai Wei stretched out her white fingers and pinched the little girl's waist, the little girl grinned, and she said faintly: "Little Lianzi, if you are lazy, be careful that I throw you to the countryside to feed the pigs." ”

Xiao Lianzi was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand: "Aunt Caiwei, I don't dare, I don't dare." ”

Cai Wei was just to scare Xiao Lianzi, but when she saw that he was too scared, she put away her heart to tease him, "Hurry up and bring mung bean soup to that Taoist, I'm afraid it's heat stroke, and my face is ugly." ”

Xiao Lianzi nodded yes, put the towel in his hand on his shoulder, and quickly ran to the back kitchen.

Xiao Lianzi brought mung bean soup after a while, and the Taoist chief picked up the bowl and drank it in one go. After drinking, he wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, sat on the seat for a while, felt that his body was a little cooler, and raised his head and asked how much Xiaolianzi was standing on the side.

Xiao Lianzi stepped forward politely, lowered his eyebrows, stretched out a finger, and said with a smile: "A penny." ”

The Taoist priest lowered his head and touched the bag of the long shirt, but the bag was empty, and the Taoist priest suddenly sweated. It turns out that it is not open today, so how can I have a penny in my pocket?

The Taoist priest was a little embarrassed, his face changed and changed, it was really a penny that was difficult for a hero. Xiao Lianzi also saw some eyebrows, he scratched his head, walked to Cai Wei, and spoke carefully next to Cai Wei's ear for a while.

Cai Wei walked towards the Taoist priest with a smile and said softly: "If the Taoist chief has no money, it will not be too late to give it when he is rich." I see you setting up stalls on this street every day, and everyone is also a neighbor, so you won't rely on me for money. ”

The Taoist priest felt even more ashamed when he heard this, and said: "Today, for a penny, let Mrs. laugh, if Mrs. has any difficulties in the future, the poor Dao will definitely respond to her needs." ”

Cai Wei smiled indifferently: "It's just some tea, if it's not tight, it's not worth a few dollars, and the Taoist doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

The Taoist priest gave a salute and was about to say goodbye, when a crisp laugh like a silver bell sounded at the door, and a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked in. Wearing a light green shirt and skirt, her hair is pulled up high, her eyes are bright, and her face is pretty. Due to the hot weather, there were patches of redness on his face, and dense beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.

Cai Wei pretended to be angry and nodded the tip of Linlang's nose, and said angrily: "On a hot day, where are you going to be crazy, didn't you let you write in the room?" Somehow sneaked out again, not a little girl's house. ”

Linlang pouted: "I've written a lot, and my wrists are sore." After speaking, he stretched out his slender ten fingers, "Look, my fingers are calloused." ”

Cai Wei was about to train her, when she saw the Taoist priest staring at Linlang directly, his eyes unblinking, as if he had lost his soul. Her face sank, and she quietly pulled Linlang behind her, coughed lightly, and said coldly: "What else is the matter with the Dao Chief?" ”

The Taoist priest bowed his head slightly: "This girl is Madame's beloved daughter?" ”

Cai Wei frowned, and coldly gave the order to evict the guest: "The Taoist chief will not send it slowly." ”

The Taoist priest was relieved, and said with a slight smile: "Madam, forgive me, I see that Ling Yansheng's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, delicate and moving, but there is an awe-inspiring air between the eyebrows, not like ordinary people, I am afraid that there are many grievances in life." Poor Dao Dao No. Quan Zhenzi, on weekdays is 20 meters east of this inn, divination and word measurement. If you are not there any day, you can go to the Qingshan Taoist Temple to find the poor road, and the lady will use the poor road in the future. After speaking, he gave another salute, said goodbye, and strode out of the inn.

Linlang poked her head out from behind Cai Wei, looked at the back of the Taoist priest walking out, and said with a smile: "This Dao is so interesting, does he mean that I was born different?" ”

Cai Wei stretched out her hand and knocked on Linlang's forehead, Linlang screamed, Cai Wei said: "Go back to the room, you are not allowed to come out until the time for dinner." ”

Linlang stomped her feet angrily, covered her forehead and went upstairs into the room.

Cai Wei stood there stunned for a while, shook the fan in her hand, and muttered, "But it turned out to be a crazy one." ”
