Chapter 12: The Inn Owner

"Take her home?" Wang Jiajia was taken aback by my idea: "Where does she live in such a big place as our family?" ”

"Yes, that's why I'm worried, but seeing her so pitiful, I can't bear it, since I've touched it, I want to help people to the end."

"Hey, there it is." Wang Jiajia excitedly held my arm: "Brother Jianghu, didn't you say that the county order will distribute steamed buns and porridge at the county government every day at noon?" Grandma is so pitiful, she will definitely get a share of food if she goes. The county order is merciful, and when he sees his grandmother homeless, he will definitely find a way. ”

"Xu County Order!" I slapped my thigh: "That's right, how did I forget him?" Didn't he claim to be the parent official of the people, the people were lonely and widowed, if he was really a good official, he would have to take care of this matter. ”

"That's it. Then we'll send Grandma to the county office tomorrow. ”

"Hmm." I breathed a sigh of relief, and I just felt that my whole body was clear. Not to mention, this Wang Jiajia is still quite smart sometimes.

The next day, Wang Jiajia went with me to sell tofu, and she helped carry a bucket of bean curd, and I felt that the burden was a little lighter.

This girl is really stupid, and I don't pay her for it, so what are you happy all the way to? Hey, I've had breakfast at home, and I still have two steamed buns on my body, do you want to eat steamed buns with her or invite her to eat noodles at noon? I'm preparing with both hands, hehe, I've learned a little bit from that Song Erlang, and this time, I also have a bag of salt on me.

There is Wang Jiajia shouting next to him, today's tofu is also selling very smoothly, each box has three layers, each layer can be cut into sixteen pieces, two boxes of tofu is more than 190 copper plates, plus the bucket of bean curd earns fifty or sixty Wen, today's harvest is still very considerable, of course, you have to buy soybeans, buy a few catties of rice by the way, and then buy some side dishes and meat......

"Let's go, I'll invite you to eat noodles, and by the way, I'll send Grandma to Xu County." I said to Wang Jiajia, tied the table and stool under the tree, picked up the empty box, and the person floated.

Soon, we arrived at the Jianghu Inn, the money bag was full, and the whole person was more confident. I strode into the store with my burden: "Fubo, I'm here to pay back the money, and then bring me a bowl of clear soup noodles, the amount of food for two people." ”

"Yo, Li Lang. Hehe, it's early enough to close the stall today! Fauber's smile was still so kind.

"Where's Grandma? Has she eaten? I asked.

Fu Bo didn't answer, and took out a piece of paper and a pile of copper plates from the drawer in front of the cabinet and pushed them to me: "Come, Li Lang, this is your IOU, and there are twenty-five yuan, you have collected it." ”

"This ......" I was holding the money bag and was about to pay, but I didn't expect him to give me the money, which made me a little confused.

"Yesterday as soon as you left, our host came, and had already found a place for the old woman, so the room was not occupied. The proprietor specially instructed that the money must be returned to you. ”

Wang Jiajia and I glanced at each other: "That...... Where did Mrs. Mu send Grandma? Why should she help her? ”

Fu Bo touched his beard and smiled: "Coincidentally, the owner came to inquire yesterday, saying that he accidentally lost a handkerchief, but he didn't expect the old woman to take out a silk handkerchief from her arms, and it was the owner who lost it, and she returned it to the owner at that time."

The proprietor was overjoyed and sent someone to investigate, and soon found the old woman's lost family. Oh, the old woman was able to be reunited with her family, which is really gratifying. Li Lang can rest assured, hehe.

Ah Wu, let the kitchen cook a bowl of clear soup noodles, oh, the size of two people. ”

I took the IOU and the copper plate, and felt empty in my heart, and it was indeed a good thing for Grandma to be reunited with her family, but I always felt that something was wrong?

Mu Niangzi, the owner of the Jianghu Inn, when did she lose her silk handkerchief, why was she picked up by her grandmother? Who is Grandma's family, and how could she let her wander alone for so long? How did Mu Niangzi find her family so easily?

"Come, a bowl of clear soup noodles, please use it slowly." Ah Wu came over with a tray, put the noodles on the table, and brought an empty bowl by the way.

"Brother Jianghu, what's wrong?" Wang Jiajia was afraid that she could see that I was a little absent-minded, so she asked softly.

"Oh, it's fine." I smiled and looked left and right, there were only five or six people who came to eat noodles at the moment, and seeing that no one cared, I gritted my teeth, secretly took out the salt bag from my arms, and poured the salt into the bowl with a trembling twist.

Wang Jiajia saw everything in her eyes, waited for me to stir it, and handed over the empty bowl. I picked up a bowl full of her, then took the bowl, picked up a piece of chopsticks and sucked it into my mouth, and suddenly I felt like I was licking a salt jar.

I looked up and saw the same confusion and helplessness in Wang Jiajia's eyes as I did, she tried to swallow the noodles in her mouth, picked up the herbal tea on the table and poured it into her stomach, and then stirred the noodles in the bowl, looking at me with an embarrassed expression.

I also brought the herbal tea to my mouth and sent the noodles down. I'm sure I put just the right amount of salt, and although I don't know how to cook, I can easily cook noodles at home, so how can I not have a portion? Unless, this bowl of noodles is already salted, so I double it, it will be so salty that it is hard to swallow.

How? It's not once or twice that I've come here to eat noodles, so why don't you follow the routine?

"Boss, you're here!" Several people shouted affectionately.

Landlord? Mu Niangzi!

I looked towards the door and saw a woman in a white shirt stepping into the store. Her steps were light, like a butterfly approaching quietly.

"It's beautiful!" Wang Jiajia couldn't help but whisper.

yes, it's beautiful!

I just felt my heart tremble, I had never seen such a stunning woman when I was so big.

Her inky hair was tied high on the top of her head, and although she only had a simple step, she still exuded a noble temperament. She has a bangs on her right forehead, which looks a little gentle and lovely. Her eyes scanned the entire guest hall, making people feel like they were in the vast starry sky. Under the white and handsome cheeks, a little red lips are like rubies, exuding an alluring luster......

She is Mu Niangzi, the owner of the Jianghu Inn, a widow?

I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, and quickly lowered my head, I'm just an ordinary man, I've never admired a beautiful woman so closely, cough cough, gaffe.

Hey, how can such a beautiful woman be a widow? I sighed softly, and suddenly felt pity for her unblessed husband.

"Fubo, has the money been refunded to others?" Mu Niangzi asked.

"Hehe, retreat, he's retreating, he's it." Fauber's voice showed the ease with which the task had been accomplished.

I felt a gaze stop at me, peeking in, and the white veil was coming towards me, followed by the faint fragrance of gardenias, which made people's hearts ripple.

"You are Li Jianghu?" Her voice was so sweet, I didn't expect my name to be so nice to pronounce by her.

I pursed my lips and looked up at her and smiled, "Yes." ”

"Did Fabber give you back?"

I nodded: "It's back." ”

Mu Niangzi smiled slightly, and raised the handkerchief in her hand: "This is made of ice silk, it feels as cool as ice in summer, don't look at this handkerchief, it is worth one or two silver miles, and it is a thousand wen when converted into copper plates." I thought I couldn't find it, but my grandmother was able to take the initiative to return me, which was really surprising, so I asked my brother to help her find her family to thank her for her kindness. ”

I looked at the silk handkerchief again, pure white as frost and snow, light as cicada wings. One tael of silver, one thousand wen! That's enough for me to sell tofu for days! If you buy rice, I'm afraid it will be enough for me and my aunt to eat for more than half a year!

"Oh, Grandma can find her family." I smiled and didn't know what to say to her.

"What? Isn't this unappetizing? Why don't you eat it? Mu Niangzi twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes fell on my bowl.

"Oh, in ...... Eating. I smiled awkwardly, stirring the noodles in my hands, and waited for her to go away quickly so that I could add some tea and wash up.

"Ah Wu, let Lao Yutou be careful when cooking noodles, don't be salty and light at one time." Mu Niangzi shouted at the shopkeeper and smiled at me again: "Hey, that friend of yours, Song Erlang, used to come to my shop every day to eat noodles, but I don't know what's wrong recently, I haven't seen anyone for a few days." ”

"Oh, I don't know him very well, and I haven't seen him in a few days." I smiled slightly, thinking to myself that Song Erlang was also self-defeating like me.

"Master, County Lieutenant Mu told you to go home." A home-looking man hurriedly ran in and shouted at Mu Niangzi.

"Tell him I'll be staying in the hotel today." Mu Niangzi replied, nodded at me, took a few steps to the cabinet, flipped through the account book, and went straight to the backyard.

I breathed a sigh of relief, poured all the water from the teapot into the bowl, and poured the noodles from Wang Jiajia's bowl into it, and after a stirring meal, I was finally ready to eat.

"Brother Jianghu, is she the owner of this inn?" Wang Jiajia's face was full of envy: "I feel that she has such a temperament, just like a princess." ”

"Have you seen a princess?"

"Uh...... No. ”

"Eat quickly, I'm going to go shopping after eating."

After some wandering around, as a reward, I helped Wang Jiajia buy a pair of pendant earrings in the shape of silver leaves that she had long taken a fancy to, and also brought a pot of wine to Wang Fatzi, and my family is mainly some rice and vegetables.

Looking at the several large bags of things that returned with a full load, as well as most of the bags in my money bag, A-Niang was extremely pleased: "Okay, yes, you, just settle down and make a fortune selling good tofu." ”

"Oh." I replied, suddenly feeling a little sad, am I really only worthy of selling tofu?

……

Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Lying on the bed tossing and turning, Mu Niangzi's voice and smile kept appearing in front of my eyes.

Mu Niangzi!

Where did she come from? Widow? No, Wang Jiajia is right, she is as noble as a princess. Who is her husband? Why did he leave her? Will she still consider remarrying? If so, who would she turn to?

Ahem, Li Jianghu, what do you want? People are rich and noble, can you afford to climb high? Didn't you hear? Lieutenant Mu called her home. What is the relationship between Captain Mu and her?
