Although this Anlan ferry port is just an ordinary ferry on the Huai River, there are many merchants, boats are everywhere, coming and going, disturbing a place, donkeys and horses neighing, sandwiched with the sound of people and cars, and they are very lively.

Ji Xiaofu is indeed very familiar with this, and when she went out with Yang Xiao, she quickly found a boat company, and agreed to rent a boat for a total of a few sailors, and she will rest here for one night tonight and set off tomorrow morning.

After coming out of the boat, Ji Xiaofu smiled at Yang Xiao and said, "Our luck is really good!"

Yang Xiao asked curiously, "What did you say?"

Ji Xiaofu said: "You don't know that some time ago, it was the rainy season of the Huai River, and the water of the Huai River soared, and many boats stopped. It wasn't until yesterday that some old boatmen with good water characteristics went into the water and set sail, and we will arrive today, do you think it is good to use it?"

Yang Xiao nodded and said, "This is really a blessing for the lady!"

On the other side, Hu Qingniu, who went to the car and horse investment shop, was frustrated and had no place to stay.

It turned out that a few days ago it was the rainy season, and the Huai River was at high tide, and many merchants and guests who wanted to cross the river to the south were blocked at the Anlan ferry and could not set off.

Although there are a few inns on Anlandu, there is an endless stream of travel from the south to the north, and the inns have long been full, and the later merchants have nowhere to stay, so they quarrel with the store in a short temper.

One of the largest inns in the town, called "Andu Old Store", is the head of the safe transition.

Because of the large size of this inn, merchants who can't find a store flock here, so it is particularly crowded.

The shopkeeper tried his best to stuff three or four people into each room, and the remaining dozen or so people had no choice but to sit around in the hall.

The shopkeeper moved away the tables and chairs, and set up a number of makeshift wooden benches in the hall to serve as beds.

Although the guests are helpless, it is better than sleeping on the streets.

The sky was getting dark, and suddenly the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the two horses galloped to stop at the door of the old store in Andu. An old guest in the hall frowned and said, "Another guest is here." ”

Sure enough, I heard a woman's voice and said, "Shopkeeper, give me two spacious and clean upper rooms." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "I'm sorry for your old age, the small shop is already full, and I really can't make a place." ”

The woman said, "All right, it's all right." ”

The shopkeeper said: "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry." When you visit, you can't invite the shop, but today the guests are full. ”

The woman waved her whip, slapped it in the air, and said, "Nonsense! Can't you tell people to let you go? Just give you more money." ”

As he spoke, he burst into the hall.

When everyone saw this woman, their eyes were all bright, and they saw that she was more than thirty years old, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and her appearance was quiet, wearing a royal blue leather jacket, and a piece of mink was exposed at the neckline, and the clothes were quite luxurious.

Behind the young woman was a man, two or three years older than the young woman, of medium stature, with a kind complexion.

All the merchants wondered that these two people, a man and a woman, were walking together, if they were husband and wife, why did the woman want two rooms in the first place?

If it is not a husband and wife, then the two of them go together and stay overnight in the inn, why can they ask for a room?

The people who were talking to each other were silent, looking at the two curiously.

The shopkeeper bowed down and said with a smile: "Grandma, you see, these people can't find a house." If you two don't feel aggrieved, let everyone move a place, just roast the fire here, and just spend one night, tomorrow will cross the river early in the morning, right?"

The young woman was impatient, but seeing that the situation was true, she frowned and said nothing.

A middle-aged woman sitting in the middle of the hall said, "Grandma, you just sit here, we can be regarded as partners, and I ask you to take care of me!"

The beautiful young woman said, "Well, thank you." The man sitting next to the middle-aged woman hurriedly moved to the side, giving way to the boss.

Soon after the two of them sat down, the shopkeeper brought the meal, and the dishes were still sumptuous, with chicken and liquor.

At this moment, it was confirmed that only a noise of people was heard at the door, and then the group opened the curtain and walked into the hall.

This group of people had men, women, children, and children, and there were about a dozen people, and everyone was stunned when they entered the hall.

When a middle-aged man dressed in white came first, he was also stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Xiaofu, is this the old store you said?

This person is Yang Xiao, just now Ji Xiaofu said that there must be a room to stay in this old Andu store, so he rushed here, who thought of entering the hall and seeing these long benches on the ground Yang Xiao already understood, and immediately asked.

They are neither like businessmen nor gangs, but like a rich and noble family who go out to play, and everyone in the hall looks at them curiously.

At this moment, Ji Xiaofu spoke: "I said yes, then there is." ”

Then he walked forward quickly and said, "Shopkeeper, I still have a few rooms." ”

The shopkeeper was looking through the ledger, and when he heard this voice, he said without raising his head: "I'm sorry for you, there is no one, how about you not dislike it in the hall for one night?"

Ji Xiaofu chuckled and said, "Uncle Liu, don't you even have me?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked up, first stunned, and then showed a surprised smile on his face: "It turned out that the second miss is here, haha! I haven't seen her for many years, and the second miss is getting more and more handsome!"

As he spoke, he walked out of the counter and walked towards Ji Xiaofu with a smile.

Ji Xiaofu politely gave him a blessing, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu came to make fun of me again! I took a boat home tomorrow to see my father, but I didn't expect to pass by Qiyan Temple on the way, so I had to ask for a stick." I missed the hour, so I had to spend the night at Uncle Liu's place!"

The middle-aged shopkeeper surnamed Liu pretended to be displeased and said, "Is the second lady staying here because she can't cross the river?" What river do you cross? Why don't you rest here for two days, and then I'll go with you to see the old man." ”

Ji Xiaofu smiled: "Thank you Uncle Liu for your kindness, but I really miss my father when I am away all the year round!"

The middle-aged shopkeeper named Uncle Liu said with a smile: "Yes! The old man is afraid that he wants the second lady more!"

At this time, he noticed the group of people behind Ji Xiaofu, and asked curiously: "Second Miss, I don't know who these are?"

Ji Xiaofu was about to explain the situation to him, but suddenly his face turned red, but Uncle Liu in front of him also knew that he was not married, and he didn't know how to answer.

Yang Xiao stepped forward and said to him seriously: "I am Xiaofu's husband. ”

He simply said such a sentence, and then stood still, this sentence was extremely serious, and with a hint of pride.

That Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turned out to be the second aunt." ”

When he turned around, he instructed the two guys and said, "The two of you and Master Li in the back have vacated the house and let the second lady live in them." ”

The guy was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Master Li is also going to take off?"

Shopkeeper Liu said: "You just told him that Miss Ji Er is here, and he naturally understands." ”

Then the shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: "Second Miss, Uncle, there are many people in your group, and if the two houses are to be vacated, you have to wait for a while, and you are wronged to squeeze in the hall." ”

At this time, the middle-aged beautiful woman with a hot temper couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Shopkeeper, didn't you say that there is no room? How can you make room for them?"
