It's almost time.

Remnant Yang left the last trace of warmth on the vermilion plaque, and reluctantly left.

The plaque is engraved with four thin black characters that seem to be splashed with ink - Hongchen Inn.

At the end of the world is wind and sand.

The story of Hongchen is called care.

Before reaching the end of the world, how can you see the wind and sand.

If you don't enter the red dust, you don't know how to worry.

The Red Dust Inn falls in the red dust of the market, but it is the homecoming of the people of the rivers and lakes.

In Zhongzhou, it is not uncommon for inns to be run by Jianghu people or have Jianghu backgrounds.

Therefore, less than 100 days ago, the Red Dust Inn was still just an ordinary inn.

Until the Hundred Flowers Conference became a blockbuster and became famous, there were unknown people who came in the open and in the dark with their own purposes.

If it weren't for the jealousy of the attitude of the imperial court, the threshold of the inn would have been able to be stepped on that month.

In the past month, under the condition that the overall situation in the rivers and lakes has eased, the inn has gradually returned to its former tranquility.

The scale of the inn is not only not small, but also comparable to the well-known inns in the big cities of Youjing and Gusu, but it is located in a small town, and the cost is not the same.

The inn has three floors at the highest, divided into east and west chambers, north and south courtyards, and houses of different sizes with different functions are gathered together with a total of one hundred single eight rooms.

Like most inns, the first floor of the south courtyard of the inn is used as a canteen and wine shop, which not only serves the entire inn, but also attracts diners.

At this point in time, there were only two tables left in the lobby with a total of four guests.

Two of them were passing Jianghu people, who had just finished dinner, had already packed their bags, and beckoned the store to prepare some dry food, as if they were going to hurry at night.

On the other table, there were two shirtless and dark-skinned men draped in sweat towels.

They were helpers in the mines outside the town, and they had to work harder today, so they met here on the way home to treat themselves.

The reason why I chose this inn, which I heard has been famous on the rivers and lakes recently, is for three reasons, along the way, close to the mouth, and the price is not expensive.

The food was down, the wine and meat were in the intestines, and when they were in the mood, the two of them talked more, and their voices became louder and louder, and the topic was even more confusing.

But it was nothing more than nagging the parents, shaking their heads with a wry smile, and drinking three cups.

Break the gonzo you heard, have fun together, and do another bowl.

I only heard the square-faced man patting his thighs, and sighed mournfully: "Alas, the mother-in-law of my family, everything is good, that is, she gave birth to three babies, and she was born without a child, and the old man is always worried that the family line will be broken, but if this continues, I really can't afford to raise this family!"

Although the sharp-mouthed man drank a lot of wine, he didn't forget that every family in this year always had to have a handle to pass on the lineage, and he wanted the old brother not to worry too much, but in the end he could only turn to comfort him: "Tell the old man about this kind of thing, don't be in a hurry, don't take it slowly." ”

Accompanied the square-faced man for more than half a bowl, and then said: "It's probably not good to be a woman, but after following you for all these years, I have to go on, it's really not good...... Marry again?"

The square-faced man waved his hand again and again and said: "This, this is not good, we are not those official masters, whether we can afford to marry or not is another matter, just say that this old man has only one woman in his life, I have one more than him, maybe I will be knocked out of the house." ”

"Then take it slowly, slowly. Seeing that his proposal was not accepted, the sharp-mouthed man no longer insisted, and suddenly remembered the story told by the foreman when he was in the mine yesterday, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Zi Yu took a sip of the wine in the bowl and said abruptly: "This world is really unfair, you see those officials and masters in the capital, those second ancestors, which one is not three wives and four concubines, just the Lu family who sneaked out of the city two days ago, they have tasted the taste of seven mothers-in-law, and they also said that they want to go to Jiangnan to get a few more wives!"

Boom!

When the square-faced man heard the sharp-mouthed man mention this, he was also quite angry in his heart, and he didn't know how much movement he caused by putting the wine bowl on the table.

The two Jianghu people were taking the dry food from the small second-hand people, and glanced at this when they heard the sound.

As Jianghu people, they naturally knew better the cause and effect of what the two mentioned, and they couldn't help but feel vulgar about the two miners who lingered on the superficial level, and before walking out of the inn, they actually went around the table to sneer at the two.

Fortunately, the two miners were enjoying themselves, and they didn't feel the contempt from the Jianghu people at all, otherwise they would inevitably be ridiculed.

The small movement all fell into the eyes of Xiao Er, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and the woman sitting quietly behind the counter with a pair of plain white slender jade hands.

The woman sighed secretly in her heart, although she has a thousand identities, she is a person who works hard in the red dust, why should she be pretentious with the little insight that her identity is convenient for?

The woman shook the fan lightly while moving her gaze to Xiao Er, who had already scrubbed the table and chairs.

The second child is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, who seems to have a sallow complexion, and at first glance is a little sluggish and dull-eyed, and after only half a day's hard work under the steaming heat, his clothes have been soaked, and his face is full of fatigue.

Seeing this, the woman called softly: "Radish, it's not too early, go to the back hall to eat first, wash up early, and rest, I'll just watch here." ”

Xiao Er paused when he heard this, looked at the sky, then looked at the back hall, and finally looked at the counter, and said with a little uneasiness: "However, the time has not yet come, and the potatoes have not yet come to change shifts." ”

The woman smiled and said gently: "It's okay, it's just a table of guests, my sister can handle it, and the potatoes will come over after a while." ”

Xiao Er, who was called a turnip, hesitated and said, "That's good...... Thank you, Sister Sushou. ”

......

......

After filling her stomach and taking a comfortable bath, Radish lay down on the bed and stretched.

It seems that as long as you close your eyes, you can enter the sweet and gentle country.

He has become more and more accustomed to the current pace of life.

However, although such a life was fulfilling, his heart could not be steady.

This is not his world, of course, if he can really get rid of his original identity completely, he will be willing to think about it.

But he was born with no choice, and the burden on his shoulders was too heavy.

As if sensing that the room was too hot, he sat up, went to the window, and pushed open the window facing the inner courtyard.

Fortunately, the wind was not boiled on these summer nights.

Accompanied by the cool breeze, tonight will be a stable dream.

Just about to go back to bed, he caught a glimpse of a person pouring himself a drink at the stone table under the tree in the inner courtyard.

After squinting his eyes slightly, he made out who was under the shadow of the mottled tree, hesitated again and again, and finally cheered up and walked out of the house.

......

......

"Turnips have something to ask for. ”

After approaching the stone table, Radish respectfully bowed to the people under the tree.

The man under the tree had a wide forehead and thin eyes, and the sparse moonlight shone on his silver hair, which gave people an illusion.

It seems that this man, who is particularly gentle and warm-hearted to his own people, but always has a proud and indifferent attitude to the outside world, is full of trauma and miserable.

"Sit. The man seemed a little surprised that this silent teenager would take the initiative to come to him, and smiled gently, "Would you like a drink too?"

Radish sat down stiffly and replied, "I'm not very good at drinking." ”

The man smiled, his thin eyes like the moon in the sky, and said, "I'll just ask casually, if you really want to drink, I have to run to get more cups." ”

Radish hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm not thirsty." ”

Then I mustered up the courage and wanted to emphasize my intention.

The man's hand was on his shoulder, patted him gently, and said, "You have done a good job in normal times, but now the two of us, there is no pressure, and we should try to relax." ”

Radish said, "Yes, master." ”

The man asked, "You want to ask why we are going to help the two pavilion masters of the Listening Rain Pavilion?"
