Chapter Twenty-Three: The Flower Inn (Second Watch)
As soon as Xue Zha entered Jian'an City, he was immediately attracted by the advertising words of inns on both sides of the street.
"If you want to stand on the head of the big turtle alone, no, if you want to write your name on the golden silk cloth, come to the Blessed Inn, where there have been three hundred and sixty-one children, one hundred and forty-two Xiucai and nineteen masters!"
"Do you want to sit on the cyan clouds and fly straight to the heights, do you want to walk on the flat ground when a green cloud suddenly appears at your feet, come to the champion inn, here is a big inn that countless people want to come to in their dreams to go out and have a champion, miss and wait for a lifetime!"
"Do you want to come out of the countless people, do you want to stand at the front of all the teams, come to the Jixiang Inn, the paper and pen inkstones here are all free!"
..................
Xue Zha, reading these advertising words, remembered the couplets on the sacrificial sticks he saw when he first came to this world, he shook his head and smiled, and when he passed by a person dressed like Zhou Delong, he whispered: "Take the sheep by the hand", and then he had a heavy money bag in his hand.
When Xue Zha left from the Axe Gang, all the money and clothes were on Xue San; when he left Yunhong Mountain, he didn't bring a penny with him; that is, he didn't pay for it when he entered the city, otherwise Zhou Delong probably had to be his God of Wealth.
After Xue Zha had the money, he turned the corner and entered the inn.
This inn is not big, probably because it is not open on the main street, there are not many customers, and there is only a shopkeeper with a rag on his shoulder at the door, yawning and chasing mosquitoes.
Xue Zha led the horse and walked closer, and the shopkeeper got up, he bowed slightly and asked, "Are you sharpening or staying in the store?"
Xue Zha casually took out a silver ingot from the stolen money bag and threw it between the hands of the shopkeeper who were busy holding it out, and then he smiled and said, "I live in the hotel and came to take the exam." ”
"Yo he, you are here to take the test for children...... So did you go and sign up? Can you prepare three good poems? Do you want to go out and give you two good ginseng sticks that are old in the year, and it is said that you can write more than 100 words with one on your body during the exam. ”
Xiao Er immediately became enthusiastic, he kept talking and asking Xue Zhe with his mouth, and at the same time enthusiastically took the reins of the horse into his hand, and shouted at the inn: "Boss lady...... Hostess, come out...... Come out and pick up the guests!"
"Uh......"
Xue Zhe glanced at the inn signboard with strange eyes, and saw the four big words "Ruhua Inn" written on it, and he said in his heart: The proprietress won't be called "Ruhua", right?
The proprietress is indeed called Ruhua, but she is a woman in her thirties who looks like a rhododendron.
She wore a green gown on her upper body, buttoned tightly, obviously very material, and a long fringed skirt embroidered with small white flowers, and walked like a wave, making people reverie the scenery inside her skirt.
When the proprietress walked out of the door of the inn, Xue Zha could hear the sound of the shopkeeper swallowing saliva.
"Uh...... Such a woman is the proprietress of the proprietress and has to use advertisements to grab a good position, I guess there are a lot of locals living in it, right?"
Xue Zha muttered in his heart, and took the initiative to step forward to meet the other party.
"Hello boss, please ask the boss, I want to change my clothes, where should I go?"
Xue Zha pulled the green brocade robe of the clerk on his body, and asked with a grin, and the proprietress naturally leaned up, and sniffed, "Hmm...... How do you feel like a chick?"
The proprietress looked Xue Zha up and down, and after a moment of silence, she spoke: "There are a few clothes left by customers in my store that they don't wear, I just heard Xiao Er say that you are here to take the test for children, I don't know if it will be unlucky." ”
Xue Zha waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the boss lady passed through your hands, and any bad luck has diluted the fragrance on your body." ”
The proprietress saw that he was interested, and there was a smile in her two talking eyes, she turned around and took Xue Zha to the inn, and the touch of style when she turned around and twisted her waist almost didn't make Xue Zhe, who had never touched a woman in her previous life and this life, have a nosebleed.
"This ...... Even if this particular Lao Tzu violates his principles, he must ...... I want to touch what it feels like!"
Xue Zha's hands rubbed together, and she followed the steps of the proprietress with a red face.
The proprietress was at the top of the stairs and pointed to Xue Zha and said, "Guest officer, you go up to the third floor, and then turn left to the top room, which is few people and secluded." ”
Xue Zha looked at her and winked at herself when she said the last two words, and a fire instantly rose in her heart, and the burning feeling instantly rushed out of his snort, and the proprietress looked at it with a handkerchief and covered her mouth with a smile and turned to go elsewhere.
Xue Zha stepped upstairs quickly, but before he could go up to the third floor, suddenly, he noticed a trace of strangeness.
"Why haven't you seen a single guest in the inn until now? I haven't even heard a cough elsewhere? ”
Xue Zha quickly calmed down, the back street with few people, the bewitching proprietress who understands the style, and the shopkeeper who only dares to look at it and dare not touch it, I feel that this Ruhua Inn is everywhere.
"Be careful, be careful, Jianghu, remember that you Xue Zhe is now in the rivers and lakes of a strange world, where people will die at any time, and someone will kill you here at any time. ”
Xue Zha kept saying this to himself in his heart, his eyes unconsciously became clear and calm, and when he looked around, it was not difficult for him to find that everything in this inn was wiped clean, but he never saw a single guest.
He followed the instructions of the proprietress to his room, pushed open the door and entered, and found that it was a suite, with screens, tables and chairs, and washers outside, and a double bed full of fragrance in a pink curtain.
"Uh...... It's a non-stop insane hint!"
Xue Zha shook his head, he wants this inn to have a lot of guests, he really doesn't mind having a dewy relationship, now...... Ahaha!
"Boss lady, you're here so soon!"
Xue Zha was talking to herself, and the proprietress had appeared in the room silently.
Xue Zha didn't close the door when he came in before, and it was normal for the proprietress to come in without a sound, but this made him raise his vigilance a few points.
"Guest officer, try these clothes, if you think you can wear them, I'll put them all here. ”
"There is still a lot of work to be done in the back kitchen, so the slave family will be busy first. ”
The proprietress put down her clothes and left, she didn't talk much from beginning to end, and the style at the door and staircase was gone, it was all like Xue Zha's own brain made up, imaginary encounters, fairy jumps, and dew love...... Nothing.
"Oops...... Fate has not arrived, fate has not arrived!"
Xue Zha comforted himself like this, he took off the brocade robe of the clerk on his body, picked out one of the clothes sent by the proprietress casually, put it on his body, walked to the washstand and looked in the mirror, and in the not very clear bronze mirror, a scribe wearing a round-necked white robe appeared.
"Hmm...... It feels pretty good. ”
Xue Zha immediately put away his other clothes, and the robbed brocade robe of the clerk was directly destroyed by his sentence [Destroy the corpse and destroy the traces].
He went downstairs again, found Xiao Er and said, "Can you tell me where to sign up?" ”
Xue Zha said, and handed out another silver ingot.
The shopkeeper was almost grinning to the back molars, and he was about to stuff the silver ingots into his sleeves, when he heard a cold voice in the inn behind him say, "Wang Wu, you are not allowed to accept the silver of the guests." ”
"Wait a minute, I will pour this bucket of water, and I will accompany you later. ”
Xue Zha saw the proprietress staggering out with a large bucket of miscellaneous water, although the shopkeeper was a little unhappy because of the lack of a certain amount of silver ingots, but he also hurriedly stepped forward to take the bucket of water, and said: "Boss, take this guest officer quickly, if you go late, you won't be able to report today." ”
