Volume 2: Yongzhou Mansion Chapter 27: Yuelai Inn
Yongzhou Mansion is about fifty miles away from Tianheng Mountain, and this distance is not long, but not short.
Let's say it's long, and the work of walking on the official road for half a day will be there.
Let's say it's short, if you walk this way, then it can go to your doubtful life.
"I just said that I couldn't let Hu Yue catch the car, but you didn't listen!"
Maureen grumbled unkemptly.
"If I were to catch the car, how could it go wrong. ”
Mo Lin's bags should be the largest, and they have been walking on this official road to Yongzhou Mansion for more than an hour.
Originally, Mo Lin was in a good hurry, but Hu Yue suddenly popped out of the carriage and said that she wanted to catch the car.
Say what is playing cards to lose, willing to gamble to lose.
Asking a fourteen-year-old girl to drive a car can't do such a thing.
But Lao Lu was coaxing beside him, and Yang Ming said that if he didn't want to catch a car, who wouldn't.
As a result, she had just caught up with the time for a stick of incense, and the car was overturned by her.
"I knew that the horse was so undrawn, so I pumped it twice and ran away. ”
That's right, when your family was driving the car, you used the whip of the Seven Star Array to whip the horse, not to mention that the horse was pulled away, even if it was pumped to death, it would not be strange.
"You guys still have no end, what are you grinding, the front is Baitu County, go there and buy another horse, it's over!"
Lao Lu was annoyed by the quarrel of these little cubs, when the car overturned just now, Mo Lin grabbed Hu Yue with one hand, and Lin Ruo's footwork was fine when he landed.
The problem is that his old Lu is lying in the car taking a nap! The car suddenly overturned!
This is sleeping with a little wine, and the car overturns.
"Lao Lu...... How far away, I'm dying of exhaustion. ”
Although Mo Lin has a lot of things, Yang Ming is the one who carries the most weight.
A big box of Lao Lu, Yang Ming carried.
Lin Ruo's cloth bag, Yang Ming carried it.
Hu Yue's pillow doll, Yang Ming held it.
Coupled with his entangled belongings, Yang Ming has simply become a king with his back to the mountain.
"I'll feed you some water, we'll be there in about three miles." ”
"There are still three miles ......"
Yang Ming opened his mouth, Lao Lu poured the water in the water bag into Yang Ming's mouth, and Yang Ming, who drank a sip of water, finally had some energy.
"Let's see if the finish comes first, or if I'm tired first......"
Fortunately, the three-mile journey did not exhaust Yang Ming to death, and when they arrived in Baitu County, the five of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Baitu County is not far from Yongzhou Mansion, and it is probably still a dozen miles away, and it won't take long to get there if you take the official road.
Fortunately, Baitu County can still sell a few horses, but the carriage cannot be bought.
After all, it's only a small county, and it's already good for twenty families to be able to buy four horses.
Hu Yue didn't know how to ride a horse, so Lin Ruo took Hu Yue with him, and the five of them rode four horses straight to a foothold outside the Yongzhou Mansion - Yuelai Inn.
When Yang Ming walked into the Yuelai Inn, he was startled by the scene in front of him.
The people in the lobby of the inn are not ordinary people, these people are mixed, and there are all kinds of people.
A laborer with a big waist and a round waist, a butcher with a meaty face, and a ronin with a big knife on his back.
A courtesan, a cook in an apron, and a tomboy dressed as a man.
The lobby of the Yuelai Inn, which is enough to hold hundreds of people, is simply a living river and lake.
"Guest officer, please come in, are you playing a top job or staying in a hotel!"
"Open a suite for the gentlemen, five people. ”
Lao Lu walked in with a wine gourd, Yang Ming put down the things, and the sensible shopkeeper directly ordered a few young and strong young men.
"The five masters upstairs, please, go upstairs and go inside, and at the end of the walk is your suite, which is clean inside. ”
The shopkeeper beckoned, and Lao Lu boldly stuffed two ingots of silver into his hand.
"Hello to us with delicious food and drink, you are not short of money!"
"Okay!
Seeing the money, the shopkeeper called a respectful and respectful nodding and waist, and sent Lao Lu to kowtow.
The suite is indeed clean enough, and the noisy sound in the lobby can not be heard when you get inside, there are two rooms in the suite, one room is naturally for Lin Ruo and Hu Yue to live in, and the other room is there.
"Stinky boy, don't even think about it, you live outside with Mo Lin, and Lao Tzu sleeps alone. ”
Yang Ming had already guessed Lao Lu's mind when he saw that there were only two rooms.
Although he was unhappy, after all, he ate Lao Lu's short mouth, so he didn't say anything.
"Uncle Shi chose to live here, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives. ”
Lin Ruo took off the veil and showed a delicate face, Lao Lu's intention to come to Yongzhou Mansion must not only be to go to Zhongzhou, there should be other things to do.
After all, Yuelai Inn is not an ordinary inn.
"Don't think about it, Xiao Er will bring the dishes to you first, and I'll go out. ”
After speaking, Lao Lu walked out of the kit with the wine bottle.
"Senior sister, what's the name of this Yuelai Inn?"
As soon as Lao Lu left, Yang Ming couldn't wait to ask.
Similarly, Hu Yue and Mo Lin also have such problems, these people are like old hats in the countryside compared to Lin Ruoyi.
"There are many good inns in Yongzhou Mansion, the Huibin Inn in the north of the city, and the Juying Inn in the west of the city, all of which are thousands of times better than the Yuelai Inn. ”
Lin Ruo paused for a moment, and after going out to make sure that there was no one outside the suite, he said softly:
"The proprietress of Yuelai Inn is the biggest ear of the Qianlong Club. ”
The leader of the Beiqian branch of the Qianlong Society is Lang Sandao, but the area under the jurisdiction of Lang Sandao is limited to underground casinos, underground gladiatorial arenas and underground auctions in Beiqian.
However, the head of the Hidden Dragon Society's real intelligence agency, Six Ears, is said to be the proprietress of the Yuelai Inn.
Although there is no definite evidence that this proprietress is such a hand-eyed figure, there is a rumor on the rivers and lakes.
"If you want to inquire about something, you will definitely find what you are looking for at the Yuelai Inn. ”
Lao Lu walked into the lobby by himself, found an empty table and sat directly there, shouting:
"Little Er, let's have a pot of wine!"
"Come on, this lord, what wine do you want!"
"Fifty-year-old Chen's daughter is red, five grains are brewed, adulterated and I will smash your sign!"
When Xiao Er heard this, he hurriedly took a carved teacup and poured a cup of hot tea first.
"Where did the guest officer come from?"
"Call from everywhere!"
"Where are you going?"
"Run to the place. ”
"Horses?"
"Beigan red-maned horse!"
"Wait a minute, your wine will be coming soon. ”
Xiao Er arched his hand and left, and the conversation between Lao Lu and the shopkeeper was very loud, and many people around heard it.
The visitors in the lobby talked a lot about Lao Lu's words, but they all bowed their heads and whispered.
Lao Lu picked up the teacup and drank half of the tea, and at this time, a man with a small head sat opposite Lao Lu.
The man has a short braid, and his beard looks very vicissitudes.
"Brother's wine, it's been a long time. ”
"It's a year, and I've heard that old wine is intoxicating, and I have to taste it. ”
"Have you ever heard that old wine is poisonous and will break your stomach and intestines?"
"If it doesn't matter, my life will be hard, and I won't burn to death. ”
The bearded man took out a pipe, and with a flash of anger in his hand, the flames lit the pipe and smoked.
"There are accounts in the East China Sea that are not very innocent. ”
"I've heard that. ”
"It is said that there was an old man who owed an account in the early years, was hunted down and killed by the enemy, and now a large family is displaced. ”
Later, I was framed by the villain, and the enemy came to the door, and I had to send someone to the fence. ”
"The old man is not dead, but he will not live long. ”
Dahan smoked about the bag of cigarettes, knocked the ash on the pipe, and continued.
"The old man's life is hard, and he has to look at people's faces under the fence, and that person is not a good person. ”
"That's true, the old man is very uncomfortable. ”
Lu Cheng continued, at this time, the shopkeeper had already put the wine on the table, and it was obvious that it was not the fifty-year-old daughter Hong, but the newly brewed Bei Qiantian.
"In the early years, the old man did a good job in business, and he left some things, and the family was greedy for the old man's things. ”
"It is said that now in Yongzhou Mansion, there are people who know the whereabouts of this thing. ”
Lu Cheng directly pointed out the intention.
Dahan separated the stacked wine bowls and poured himself a bowl of wine, but did not pour it for Lao Lu.
"Wine, count it as you invited, the proprietress is in the back kitchen, just go to the back of the table. ”
"Thank you, big brother. ”
Lu Cheng put down two ingots of silver in the empty wine bowl, got up and walked towards the back kitchen.
"The pinnacle of condensation? No, it's a god. ”
The big man muttered, drank the bowl of wine, and put away the silver in the empty bowl.
"It's going to change. ”
Then, he walked out of the Yuelai Inn.
The back kitchen of Yuelai Inn is unique, not a dozen cooks sweating profusely where they are stir-frying.
Instead, it is divided into two rooms, from the lobby has entered the outer room, is a very simple side dish hall, after all, there are only three signature dishes of Yuelai Inn.
Roast duck, smoked chicken, pork knuckle in sauce.
There are so three skilled masters who can cope with it in half an hour.
Other side dishes such as fried peanuts and cucumbers are also very simple, and they can be completed by the shopkeepers.
Walking from the outside to the inside is a different story.
It's not so much the back kitchen as the wine cellar.
At first glance, there are at least 300 jars of wine in this inner room.
It may not be appropriate to describe it as an altar, but it is more appropriate to say that it is 300 jars of wine.
On the south wall of the inner room, there is a very ornate wine rack, and the wine on the shelves is all precious wine.
This shelf of wine is probably worth a lot of money in the entire Yuelai Inn from land to real estate.
"It's all good wine. ”
Lao Lu looked at the wine rack on the south wall and swallowed, of course, the proprietress who made him swallow was the proprietress who was holding a wooden scoop in front of a wine vat to taste wine.
Although it was the winter solstice, the proprietress was dressed very angrily, and the purple satin wrapped her delicate figure.
Her hair reached to her waist, tied into a tasseled ponytail with a cow tendon rope, and her light gauze was wrapped around the crook of her arm, through which she could see the white skin.
This kind of beauty of holding the pipa and half-covering his face gives Lao Lu a full sense of impact.
Although I have long heard that the proprietress of Yuelai Inn is a peerless beauty, I only knew it when I saw this side.
This is a peerless beauty, it's just a red face.
"In the Lucheng of Hengshan in Xiatian, I have seen Liu Ruyu Liu's shopkeeper. ”
Seeing a beautiful woman, Lao Lu must abide by some etiquette, and when he heard Lao Lu's words, the shopkeeper did not stop his work.
"I heard that Lu Cheng is really addicted to alcohol, and he has a lot of opinions about wine, can you smell the vintage category of the wine in front of me?"
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, thinking, is this testing him?
"In front of the shopkeeper Liu, how dare I get an axe, but the jar in front of me has a long aftertaste, quite the fragrance of sorghum. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the platinum dragon of the five-year Chen. ”
When Lu Cheng said the name of this wine, Shopkeeper Liu's movements obviously stagnated.
"Avatar?"
"Exactly. ”
"Lu Cheng Zhenren, it should be less than thirty. ”
Lu Cheng nodded, and when he saw Shopkeeper Liu turn around, Lu Cheng's nosebleed almost spurted out.
The red face is definitely the red face and the water.
This figure, this face, this !!
This kind of beauty can actually appear in the place of Yuelai Inn, it is really unreasonable.
"You...... This, I ......"
Lu Cheng was suddenly a little nervous, yes, he was a little nervous, it wasn't that Lu Cheng hadn't seen a beautiful woman, but that he wasn't prepared.
Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman could meet in this Yuelai Inn?
Although I have heard of it for a long time, the shopkeeper Liu of Yuelai Inn is one of the four beauties of the Cloud Empire, known as Liu Ruyu, who is not intoxicating.
It is said that he drank with this Liu shopkeeper, and he had just met the Liu shopkeeper himself, and the wine was already slightly drunk before it entered his throat.
"Ahem, Shopkeeper Liu, I don't know if you have the information I want here. ”
"You mean, the Rebellion of the Five Kings?"
Lu Cheng nodded, but looked at the face of the shopkeeper Liu, and hesitated.
Although there is news, it cannot be said under normal circumstances.
After all, this kind of news can lead to death.
"Be careful!"
Lu Cheng suddenly blocked in front of the shopkeeper Liu, and at the moment when Lu Cheng was on guard, thousands of flying knives came in the direction of Liu Ruyu.
"It's really daring, you dare to make trouble at my Yuelai Inn. ”
Liu Ruyu snorted coldly, and in the next moment, those flying knives were all corroded and turned into molten iron.
"Sixth son, look at who dares to make trouble at my Yuelai Inn! ”
