The inn was really crowded, and it turned out to be able to fill the tables in the entire inn.

Following this big man into the inn, he saw a somewhat thin man standing up on the wine table near the door, this man was obviously a little drunk, and shouted: "Captain Tan Hu, why are you coming so slowly at this time? Haha, I didn't expect you to have such a temper!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard a few men at the table coaxing, so it was not lively.

This big man surnamed Tan glared at these people, but caused everyone to boo, and finally begged for mercy again and again, saying that he would come later, and he would definitely not miss your wine glasses!

It was easy to appease these drunken men, Tan Hu wiped the sweat on his head, turned his head to Zhang Jiuling and said, "My brothers are all noisy masters, don't you laugh." There's an empty table over there, where are you going to sit down for a while, and I'll give my lady a report. ”

Zhang Jiuling bowed slightly, "Naturally, thank you Captain Tan!"

With a wave of his hand, Tan Hu plunged into the crowd, although he was strong, his hands and feet were really dexterous, and walking around the tightly placed wine table did not hinder a few people who were eating with their heads up.

Seeing Tan Hu go away, Zhang Jiuling led Su Su and Jiang Lili to take out the free wine table.

said that it was a wine table, but in fact it was just a small square table, which was a perfect match for these three people.

After sitting on the table for a long time, he raised his voice and shouted a few times, and Xiao Er was late, and said apologetically: "Sorry for a few guest officers, there are indeed a lot of people today, are the guest officers coming to eat or to stay? ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jiuling waved his hand impatiently, "Why do you talk so much, little two? As for accommodation, I'm saying hello to those people!

Xiao Er was stunned, and after a while, the guest officer waited for a while, and then heard the drunk man next to him shouting loudly, "Xiao Er!", and immediately changed into a sad face, and quickly got into the crowd in response to the loud voice.

Su Su snorted twice, "There are so many people, when do we have to wait for dinner?"

Zhang Jiuling smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you can always come." ”

After waiting for a long time, Tan Hu hurried over, "I just told my young lady, my young lady thinks it's no big deal, and she can always vacate a guest room." But if you want to have two, you will be a little wronged by my brothers. ”

Before Zhang Jiuling could speak, Su Su looked dissatisfied, "How can that be done? Wouldn't I have to give Jiang Lili the same room?"

Jiang Lili was not happy when she heard this, "You still want to live in the same room with me?

Su Su slapped the table, "What's the matter?

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhang Jiuling hurriedly coughed twice, signaling not to be so wanton in front of outsiders. But Jiang Lili doesn't care so much, "You cough a fart, if you die, go buy a coffin!"

Zhang Jiuling was a little helpless, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he turned his head and apologized to Tan Hu: "Captain Tan, my granddaughter and this Jiang boy have been wild since they were children, and they don't have any restraints, please don't laugh!"

Tan Hu nodded, just now he knew the temper of these two young boys and girls, and he didn't see it strangely, but said: "Little child, it's okay, I'm not that kind of narrow-minded person." But when he turned his head and looked at Su Su and Jiang Lili staring at each other, they were also a little helpless. In his heart, he believed that a good person would do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west, so he hesitated and said: "I can't talk about this matter again, if you are eloquent, old man, I can introduce you to my young lady to see if there is a turnaround." ”

Zhang Jiuling pondered for a moment and said hello.

Just as he had taken two steps, Tan Hu whispered to Zhang Jiuling again: "But old man, although my young lady is easy to discuss, she is not a bodhisattva temper after all. Let's not mention that the guest room is booked by my family, and it is my duty not to give you a place to live, not to mention that I have to interrogate a few words in the face of people of unknown origin. You have to tell Jiang Xiaozi, lest he lose his temper when he comes. ”

Zhang Jiuling hugged his fists and said, "Naturally!" and hurriedly turned his head to Jiang Lili and said: "Did you hear it, you have to settle down a little later, if you annoy the big guys, we can only sleep on the street tonight, do you know?"

Jiang Lili looked disdainful, "Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Zhang Jiuling was dumbfounded, and only after half a sound did he say: "Cheng Chengcheng, you are a smart person, I am a fool!"

Through the dense wine table, I finally came to a quieter private room, there was no screen in the private room, there was a table with good quality, and in front of the table sat a woman in a white dress, about twenty years old, with a lovely appearance, it seems that this person is the young lady in Tan Hu's mouth.

Next to him sat a handsome boy, holding a folding fan in his hand, his temperament was particularly outstanding, and next to him sat a slightly thin young scholar, dressed simply, far less than the silk worn by the boy. In addition, there were two gray-haired old men who also looked like scholars, and a middle-aged man who looked like a martial artist in black.

Seeing a few people coming, everyone at the table looked at them suspiciously. Tan Hu hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Miss, these are the travelers I just talked about." ”

The woman smiled slightly, a little disgusted, "Brother Tan, how many times have I told you, so that you don't have to be so polite in front of me!"

Tan Hu smiled honestly, not at all like the fierceness of his face, "This is not good, there is still a number of courtesies." He said, "Miss, the brothers outside have called me to eat, so I'll leave first!"

The woman seemed to be a little helpless, and snorted.

Tan Hu laughed, and when he turned around, he flicked Jiang Lili's head, signaling to be more peaceful, but Jiang Lili was angry.

After Tan Hu's figure disappeared, the woman said to Zhang Jiuling, "Old man, do you have anything to do with me?"

Zhang Jiuling said slightly, "Miss is fine, today I came to ask Miss for two rooms." Although it is the young lady who gave my grandparents and grandchildren a guest room, it is a big face, but my granddaughter is so old, if it is not good to live with me, a bad old man, please have mercy on the young lady!"

The few people next to him didn't speak, just looked at the three of them with amusement. The thin scholar hurriedly stood up and said, "Old gentleman, it's because we haven't thought about it well, why don't we live in the same room with me today, and let your pair of grandchildren live in the same house?"

Saying this, Zhang Jiuling was a little panicked, for fear that Jiang Lili would come out with a sentence of "I am your father" as he did on the flower boat that day, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Jiang Lili, and was relieved to find that this kid was silent, thinking that this kid still knows how to judge the situation?

It's just that Zhang Jiuling can't refuse what the scholar said, others have considered it for you, you can't go wrong! Just as he was about to agree, he heard Su Su muttering in a low voice, "I don't want to sleep with Jiang Gou!"

Although the voice was small, it couldn't stand the silence in the private room, and this sentence was stopped in the ears of several people, and a few people glanced at Su Su, which provoked Su Su to quickly hide a few steps back.

The woman stared at Su Su for a few moments, then turned to the weak scholar and said, "Chen Gongzi doesn't have to be so happy, since you are on the road with my convoy, naturally I can't let you squeeze into a room with others!"

The scholar surnamed Chen was about to say that it was okay, but he turned his head to look at the woman's eyes like autumn water, his face was slightly red, and he responded.

The woman turned her head to Zhang Jiuling and said, "The old gentleman is still hungry, if you don't dislike the little woman's table of wine and food, please take a seat!"

Zhang Jiuling bowed again and again, "Lao Yu is not a pedantic person, since the girl said so, Lao Yu will not shirk, thank you girl." ”

"No problem. ”

After serving the dishes and chopsticks, the wine table slowly became lively, and the woman asked Zhang Jiuling's name, Zhang Jiuling naturally told the truth, but said that she was traveling with her two children.

After some talk and laughter, Zhang Jiuling also knew the details of the opposite, the woman's name is Mu Chunyu, she is from Suzhou, and this trip is to transport goods from Suzhou to Yangzhou, which can be regarded as a study tour. The son-in-law next to him is famous as Tang Fengxian, and he doesn't know anything else, but he knows that this person is very knowledgeable, and he has witty words and good sentences, which has caused several people at the wine table to praise loudly. Chen Wenhao, the famous scholar of the weak scholar, was a little cramped, and he only said a sentence or two when others mentioned himself, and he couldn't say anything brilliant. Those two old men were originally a well-known master in the academy, and after they stepped down from their positions, they accepted the invitation to travel around with these people, which can be regarded as living up to their old age.

Only the black-clothed literati didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he just ate extremely elegantly, not like a martial artist.

Su Su was very cramped on the wine table, and he didn't even dare to clip the dishes, or the two old literati who were sitting with Su Su saw that Su Su was well-behaved, and even gave Su Su vegetables, and didn't forget to laugh at the girl's family can't be so cramped, she has to be generous, which makes Su Su blush.

Jiang Lili didn't care so much, he gobbled up from beginning to end, but he suddenly thought of something, and asked Zhang Jiuling in a low voice, "Didn't we order food?"

Zhang Jiuling was eating and drinking heartily, and was stunned when he heard Jiang Lili's words, and replied in a low voice: "No matter how much he has to do, Lao Tzu didn't pay anyway!"

Jiang Lili snorted, replied that you bad old man is very bad, and hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks towards the only chicken leg on the wine table, but with a click, he touched the chopsticks of an old literati.

Jiang Lili didn't want to let go, so she secretly made a hard effort and sandwiched the chicken leg from the plate to her bowl.

Zhang Jiuling frowned slightly, pretending to be annoyed and scolded: "Why are you so rude, kid? Didn't I teach you to be filial piety first? This filial piety is not only the old man of his own family, but also the old man of others!"

Seeing Jiang Lili raise his eyebrows, Zhang Jiuling hurriedly leaned over and said a few words in Jiang Lili's ear, which suppressed what Jiang Lili was about to blurt out.

Unexpectedly, the old literati was not angry, but he was a little sideways to Zhang Jiuling's words, and hurriedly said: "What the old brother said is really reasonable! The person who can say this must not be an ordinary man, and he must also be a scholar with fluttering clothes when he is young!"

Zhang Jiuling smiled, "It's just that when I was young, I heard a teacher say this, and I felt that there was some truth, so I always kept it in my heart." I hadn't read anything myself, just a mere mortal. ”

The old literati sighed again: "Since he can say such a reasonable thing, then the master must also be a great Confucian." After a long silence, he turned to the young men and said, "You must keep this in mind, for there is a way to learn everywhere in life, and you must not be lazy." ”

A few people nodded and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the master." ”

After the meal was finished, Mu Chunyu said to Zhang Jiuling with a smile: "I think Su Su, this little girl is cute, it is better to sleep in the same room with me, but the old gentleman and your little grandson have to squeeze in." What does the old gentleman think?"

Zhang Jiuling hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Miss!" and hurriedly kicked Jiang Lili under the table, Jiang Lili reluctantly stood up with Su Su and said thank you sister.

As soon as he left the table, Su Su was called over by Mu Chunyu to talk about some private matters in the boudoir, Zhang Jiuling took half a bottle of unfinished wine from the table and led Jiang Lili to eat wine outside the inn.

The most taboo thing to do is to be lazy. There is a saying that diligence is like a spring sprout, not seeing its increase, but growing day by day. The same is true for martial arts training, but the practice of martial arts is more severe, it is like sailing against the current, and if you don't increase, you will retreat!" Zhang Jiuling leaned under a big willow tree outside the inn, and his drunken eyes were hazy, but he still didn't forget to mention Jiang Lili who was practicing swords.

It's just that Jiang Lili couldn't listen to these words, shouting, "Shut up you bad old man!", choking Zhang Jiuling almost choked with saliva.

At this moment, Tan Hu came out of the door drunk, saw Jiang Lili practicing his sword, and sighed, "I didn't expect you to really practice martial arts?"

Jiang Lili glanced at him and didn't reply.

Tan Hu didn't care, he leaned directly on Zhang Jiuling's side and said drunken words, "I really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes and met these turtle things, I usually don't listen to Lao Tzu's calls, and even joined forces to pour Lao Tzu's wine?

A shout came from there, "Captain Tan, come in and have a drink! Sprinkle a soak of cat urine and you will sprinkle it for 10,000 years! It can't be that you're afraid of a few brothers! Hehe, haha!"

"Lao Tzu is afraid of you, just ten more Lao Tzu are not afraid of your kind of goods!" Tan Hu responded, muttering: "Grandma's, Lao Tzu has never been afraid of anyone when he drinks!", staggered and walked towards the inn again, halfway to the point where he remembered something, and walked back with his crotch in his pants, "Grandma's, forgot to pee!"

At this moment, Tan Hu entered the house, and the two old literati walked back from the outside together, and when they saw Zhang Jiuling lying under the willow tree eating wine, they smiled, and leaned over to sit with Zhang Jiuling, "This old brother, why is he hiding here alone? Although this late spring evening is not like late autumn, it is not something that we old people can bear! If you drink and sweat, you should know that you have to go back." Otherwise, when the sweat is gone, you will have to suffer!"

Another old literati said: "That's not what I said, even you and I know things must be known by this old brother." It's just that what you and I don't know is that this old brother eats not wine, but this sunset in the twilight of spring!"

Jiang Lili sneered.

Zhang Jiuling laughed and said: "Where is there an old brother who said so elegantly, I came to eat and drink under the willow tree just to supervise this kid to practice knives, ordinary people can't take it seriously!"

The old literati wasn't annoyed, he just laughed, "Brother, this is vulgar and elegant!"

Zhang Jiuling pursed his lips and smiled.

A few old men chatted casually, and the two old literati couldn't survive the coolness of late spring, and entered the inn together.

At this time, Zhang Jiuling finished eating half a pot of wine, and was about to go where to go to get some wine when Tan Hu sent a small jar of apricot blossom wine, Zhang Jiuling said thank you, thinking that this Tan boy really knows how to do things!

In a daze, Zhang Jiuling saw that the black-clothed martial artist on the wine table was squatting on a broken wall not far away, and he couldn't see what the person was doing, but he dimly saw that a silver sign seemed to be revealing on the black-clothed martial artist's waist. Zhang Jiuling struggled to prop up his body and leaned forward, squinting his eyes to see the pattern of the sign hanging on the man's waist, when he heard someone next to him shouting Hello old man.

Turning his head, he saw Chen Wenhao, a weak scholar, smiling at him, Zhang Jiuling nodded and didn't speak.

The scholar didn't seem to have any intention of talking, but after casually reminding Zhang Jiuling of the cold weather, don't get sick, etc., he took the book in his hand and began to read.

The words are correct and round, and this poem actually has some charm when read from the mouth of this weak scholar. Zhang Jiuling squinted his eyes, his fingers slightly tapping on his legs, and he was content.

It's just that this scholar didn't read for long before a maid came, and the maid interrupted Chen Wenhao's reading, saying that her own lady wanted to ask Tang Gongzi to interpret the poems together, and thought that Chen Gongzi and Tang Gongzi were on good terms, so she asked Chen Gongzi to tell him, so as not to be abrupt.

Chen Wenhao nodded in response, picked up the book and put it down, turned his head and walked towards the inn.

Zhang Jiuling smiled: "Chen Gongzi is no longer studying?"

Chen Wenhao turned around and smiled reluctantly, "Isn't this Miss Mu asking me to tell Tang Gongzi!"

Zhang Jiuling nodded, and suddenly pouted, "Oh, you don't have to go to the inn, isn't Tang Gongzi here!"

In the dreary twilight, Tang Fengxian was talking with one or two villagers, and slowly walked towards this side.

Chen Wenhao's eyes moved slightly, he walked up in small steps, and said a few words to Tang Fengxian, who bowed down and walked towards the inn, and said hello to the old gentleman when he passed by Zhang Jiuling, and did not stop for more.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and in the distance stood a Chen Wenhao who seemed to be studying, here Jiang Lili was practicing his sword, and under the willow tree lay a drunken Zhang Jiuling was muttering: "I'm old, I can't even bear these coolness! Isn't this spring?"
