13. Xilai Inn one
Liang Rui drove the carriage straight to the Xilai Inn. Ning Qiwei sat in the carriage and was still fiddling with her lantern. The carriage "clicked" through the crowd. In the blink of an eye, the Xilai Inn is in front of you.
Xilai Inn is one of the most famous inns in the capital. It is said that he was once nominated by the emperor himself, so he became famous. There are more than 1,000 guests who come to stay at the Xilai Inn every day.
Liang Rui parked the carriage in the backyard under the guidance of Xiao Er. Liang Rui jumped out of the carriage and asked Xiao Er, "How is the situation?" Xiao Er called out "Childe", and leaned close to Liang Rui's ear and said something. Ning Qiwei was left to the side, very unhappy, she pretended to cough.
Liang Rui then remembered Ning Qiwei, he pulled Xiao Er and said, "This is the emperor." Xiao Er hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The minister will see the emperor." Ning Qiwei didn't like these red tapes very much, and she said to Xiao Er: "Get up." I am a private interview with Weifu, and I will be called Huang Shang in the future. Xiao Er hurriedly said yes, and then stood up.
Ning Qiwei jumped out of the carriage, she walked up to Xiao Er, and asked softly, "What were you talking about just now?" Can you tell me? Xiao Er was a little timid: "We..."Ning Qiye asked with a smile, "Is there anything inconvenient to say?" Xiao Er smiled a little embarrassedly.
Liang Rui also laughed stupidly, and Ning Qiwei's interest was aroused. Ning Qiwei smiled and asked, "What is a good thing?" Liang Rui smiled: "No, it's nothing." ”
Ning Qiwei deliberately changed her face and said, "Don't say it!" Both of you are disqualified from this operation. "Don't, don't, don't... I say. Xiao Er and Liang Rui said in unison. All right! For the sake of your loyalty, make up for it! Go ahead! Ning Qiwei smiled triumphantly.
Liang Rui pushed Xiao Er, smiled and said, "You say! "Childe, you still say it!" "You made it clearer. It's better for you! "Childe, I'm stupid, come on!" Xiao Er laughed wryly.
Ning Qiwei looked at the two who were "humble and polite", and she became angry: "The tiger is not powerful, you treat me as a stupid cat!" Xiao Er asked puzzledly: "Emperor... Huang Shang, what do you say? ”
Oh! Speaking some modern languages again. Ning Qiwei said to them: "Don't say it, go back to the palace immediately and treat me well." Liang Rui, you, say! "I... All right! Liang Rui's smiling expression made people look very mysterious.
Liang Rui tried his best to hold back a smile and said, "Here's the thing. A merchant from a foreign country came to the capital to do business. He was very stingy, and he thought that the room of the guest was too expensive. Later, he insisted on living in the firewood room of the Xilai Inn. He agreed to pay a hundred copper coins. ”
Liang Rui couldn't help but laugh when he said this. Ning Qiwei was hearing it: "Say it quickly, say it quickly!" Liang Rui said with a smile: "Although he spent a hundred copper coins, he always wanted to get some money back quickly." The merchant got up early in the morning to find a source of money. He saw a hen crouching in the grass. He crouched down to get an egg. Who knows..."
Liang Rui laughed so hard that he couldn't say a whole sentence. Ning Qiwei pulled Liang Rui's shirt: "What happened later?" Hurry up. Liang Rui finally stopped laughing: "Because his belt has been used for too long, after he supported it like this, it broke with a "snap". He was a thief with a weak heart, and when he was shocked, he pounced on the chicken. Xiao Er couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Liang Rui straightened his voice and said: "The chicken was frightened and ran away, and the merchant stood up and wanted to pull his pants, who knew that the belt had already rotted." Just when he was at his wit's end, a vicious dog pounced on him. As soon as he let go of his hand, his pants fell to the ground. The vicious dog tore at his pants, and he was so frightened that he broke free of them and ran away.
When Liang Rui said this, Ning Qiwei and Xiao Er were already laughing so much that tears were about to fall: "How can there be such an interesting person!" Liang Rui couldn't help but smile and continued: "When he ran out, he startled the frightened chicken just now, and the chicken ran in front of him "gurgling". He runs behind the chickens in a pair of crotch (shorts), and the vicious dog chases after him with a howling dog. The chickens and dogs jumped and woke up the travelers of the entire inn. ”
Ning Qiwei squatted on the ground with a smile, Liang Rui had been suppressed for a long time, and finally burst out laughing. Xiao Er looked at Ning Qiwei and Liang Rui and couldn't help laughing. While the three of them were laughing, a young man dressed in a fine satin and silver silk robe walked out of the back door. He walked straight to Liang Rui's side and shouted, "Commander Liang! ”
Liang Rui turned his head with a smile, and as soon as he looked at the person, a surprised expression appeared on his originally smiling face: "Qingyin, you are finally here!" Hehe. The guy hugged Liang Rui warmly, looking like an old friend who had said goodbye for a long time.
They hugged each other for a long time and then let go. Liang Rui pulled Qingyin to Ning Qiwei and introduced: "This is Liu Qingyin, the son of General Liu Haiqing. Ning Qiwei clenched her fists and said: "It's an honor to meet the young general. ”
Liang Rui said to the young man: This is the emperor... Shang, the son of the Ministry of Rites, I... Good friends. Liang Rui spoke, his eyes staring at Ning Qiwei. Qing Yin hugged his fists and returned the salute: "Qing Yin is very honored. ”
After Liu Qingyin said these words, Liang Rui made a gesture of invitation and said, "The emperor... Huang Shang, Qing Yin, please go inside! Ning Qiwei walked in front, Liu Qingyin and Liang Rui walked side by side, Xiao Er walked in the back, and the four of them walked into the Xilai Inn.
Entering the back door, Xiao Er ran to the front to lead the way. Xiao Er took Ning Qiwei, Liang Rui and Liu Qingyin to walk through a small stone road, turned into a corridor, and walked twenty or thirty meters to the end of the corridor.
Walking out of the cloister, a secluded garden appears in front of you. The garden is planted with pine trees, and the greenery under the snow-covered cover stands out against the withered vegetation. Despite the cold winter months, the garden is faintly visible with green grass. The grass is very fresh with a little snowflake on the top!
In the center of the garden there is a pool with a radius of several tens of meters wide, and a two-storey hexagonal pavilion is built in the center of the pool. The first floor of the pavilion is surrounded by railings, but the second floor is closed on all sides.
Ning Qiwei was very curious, so she pointed to the pavilion and asked, "Little Er, why is the second floor of that pavilion closed?" Xiao Er looked a little nervous when he heard this, "This is the forbidden place of the Xilai Inn." It is said that as long as someone goes up to the second floor, there is no return. Therefore shut him up. Ning Qiwei listened, and she was even more curious.
Xiao Er went to the nervousness just now, but he was a little happy: "But it's strange to say, with the second layer, the first layer and the low pool are very cool in summer and warm in winter." Ning Qiwei was very surprised: "Really? Xiao Er said affirmatively: "How dare I lie to you? ”
Ning Qiwei climbed a few stones, and Liang Rui shouted loudly behind him: "Be careful! Ning Qiwei replied: "You come too!" So she ran to the edge of the pool. Ning Qiwei ran to the edge of the pool and squatted down, at first she touched the lake with her fingers. Ning Qiwei found that not only did the pool water not freeze, but it was really as warm as warm water.
Ning Qiwei thought it was funny, she stirred the pool with her hands, and a wave of warmth was transmitted from her hands through her arms to her entire body. Liang Rui followed Ning Qiwei and ran over, and Liu Qingyin and Xiao Er also followed.
Liang Rui's eyes were sharp, he pointed to a place not far away, and said in surprise: "Look, there is a flower growing on the edge of the pool. Everyone followed Liang Rui's hand and looked over, and a small pink and white flower bloomed on the edge of the pond.
Ning Qiwei saw that Conghua had an urge to lean into it, and she couldn't help but walk in front of the Conghua. The moment she saw her walk towards the flower, the flower shook a few times and vanished into thin air.
Ning Qiwei was very curious, and she quickly walked to the position where the flower originally appeared. She saw a piece of paper floating above the flower.
Ning Qiwei reached out and picked up the piece of paper. Ning Qiwei flipped through the paper, and she saw that one side of the paper read, "Come to the first floor of the pavilion tonight." Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. Liu Qingyin and Xiao Er, who came later, looked at the piece of paper and said, "Why is it just a blank piece of paper." Liang Rui looked at the piece of paper quietly.
Ning Qiwei put away the piece of paper and said to Liu Qingyin and the others, "Let's go!" I'm a little tired. As Ning Qiwei spoke, she walked in front of everyone.

The garden was surrounded by rows of luxurious guest rooms, and Xiao Er pushed a guest room on the second floor of the row of rooms on the east side of the pool and said to Ning Qiwei: "Emperor... Huang Shang, you live in this house, what do you need to pull the rope on the door. Ning Qiwei approached the door and motioned for them to leave.
After the three left, Ning Qiwei closed the door. The scene just now still flashed in front of his eyes, as if he was in a dream, but it was very real.
Ning Qiwei took out the piece of paper in her arms, and those words were still real on the paper. Ning Qiwei walked to the tea table, and she poured a glass of water to drink. She decided to check it out in the evening.
At dinner time, Xiao Er served dinner. The plates are all Ning Qiwei's favorite food. Xiao Er said while taking the meal on the table: "Commander Liang has specially listed a recipe for you, so that the little one can be changed for you to eat every day." Ning Qiwei was a little moved, but she was full of worries that made her not want to pay attention to these things. She instructed Xiao Er, "Okay! Go down! I'll call you for something. Xiao Er said yes and closed the door and left.
