Chapter 487: A Visitor to the Inn (1)
It turned out that there was a prodigal son who tried to put his hand through the small door to tease Boss Cheng, but was cut off by Boss Cheng with a sharp weapon. Because the sharp weapon was coated with poison, blood was splashed everywhere, and the prodigal son of the great disciple lost his life in front of everyone.
Including Boss Cheng, the inn is still eighteen people.
Seeing this posture, none of the men who flocked to him dared to stay where they were, for fear that they would be the next to die. Among them, there were also those who secretly rejoiced, they were just a step too late to reach for the small door, but they saved their lives.
coincided with Gou Ruobai and Meng Shaomu returning from paying the bill, but they returned the three hundred taels of silver to Xiao Wuxian as they were. Xiao Wuxian smiled and said, "Didn't Boss Cheng accept your money?
The two teenagers nodded very obediently: "It's not just this meal, Boss Cheng said - from now on, all the accommodation and meals of Gu Shaoxia and his friends will not be charged half a cent of silver." β
In the envy and curiosity of everyone, Gu Huaiyan slowly stood up: "In this way, Huaiyan must go to meet Boss Cheng for a while." β
Xiang Yang followed and stood up: "Childe, Xiang Yang will accompany you, I'm afraid that woman will be unfavorable to you." β
Even if he believed that Boss Cheng would never do anything to harm him, Gu Huaiyan also understood Xiang Yang's worries, and of course he would not refuse.
The two of them walked towards the corner together, but when they passed the doorway, they were stopped by the door that suddenly opened and they both stepped back. The desert under the moonlight was not gentle at all, and the bitter wind and sand rushed into the inn.
Because they couldn't stand the cold at night, some of the guests gradually complained, but because they were afraid of the moody Boss Cheng, they couldn't bear it, and they didn't even dare to say things like "closing the door".
After a while, two men wearing hats and cloaks walked in, wrapped tightly from top to bottom. The degree of mystery was no less than that of Boss Cheng in the small door, but he invariably stared at Gu Huaiyan with a pair of eyes.
It wasn't until the sound of the door closing again that the warmth finally returned to the inn hall. The guests could only look at the two people with timid eyes, but no one dared to look up, as if the two extra people were ghosts and gods.
In the inn of twenty people, the atmosphere instantly froze to freezing point. Everyone was still silent, not a single good deed, but everyone, including Gu Huaiyan, hit the two of them.
Not long after, with the opening of the door in the corner, the mysterious Boss Cheng finally appeared in the spotlight, but he was still holding the pipa and half-covering his face.
I saw that she was wearing a mysterious black and purple narrow-sleeved robe, embroidered with patterns on the shoulders, shaped like a cuckoo. There are two colorful sways in his jet-black hair, and two black and purple ribbons hanging from the back of his head.
An embroidered face towel firmly covered the lower half of her face, and a pair of bare eyes were full of melancholy, she was not as thin as the peach lady was wearing, but she looked weak.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, no one would have believed that this delicate little woman would have the courage to cut off a man's palm without changing her face.
In front of everyone's eyes, the little woman unexpectedly knelt at the feet of the two "ghosts and gods". To be precise, she knelt at the feet of the "ghost" on the left, who looked even thinner.
"Cheng Ci, I wish you good health and good fortune. β
At this time, the name and true face of this mysterious Boss Cheng were exposed to everyone at a glance. Not only did the mystery not disappear, but it became stronger and stronger, but no one was as frightened as Fang Cai after seeing her face again.
There are already guests who can't bear it and have begun to speculate about the identities of Cheng Ci and the two "ghosts and gods".
"You say, what is the origin of this boss, how can she be a little girl who can open such an inn in such a place?"
"She is a little girl who naturally doesn't have such a big ability, I'm afraid it's the ...... next to her The person she called the city lord is the real mastermind!"
"In that case, isn't all the money we have spent going into the city lord's pocket?"
β......β
In the midst of everyone's discussion, the thin "ghost" on the left was the first to take off the hat and reached out to help Cheng Ci who was kneeling on the ground.
Because of the proximity of the distance, Gu Huaiyan recognized this person at a glance, and he was surprised and delighted in his heart: "Cheng Gongzi, why did you appear here?"
After handing the cloak to Cheng Ci, Cheng Yinnie bowed politely to Gu Huaiyan and said with a smile: "Gu Shaoxia, I haven't seen you for a long time! I am also very surprised to see you here." β
The next moment, the "ghost god" who came with Cheng Yinni also showed his true body, and pounced on Gu Huaiyan very excitedly, and even shouted excitedly: "Big brother, I'm so happy to see you here." β
"Zhinan, why are you here too?" Gu Huaiyan was also very happy, and his heart felt more steady.
"I came with Cheng Gongzi. β
After greeting each other, Cheng Yinni and Gu Huaiyan held another "introduction conference". Except for those inconsequential guests, all the people related to Gu Huaiyan and Cheng Yinni got to know each other.
After everyone was familiar with him, Cheng Ci sat beside him under the greeting of Cheng Yinni, and said on the spot that from now on, everyone's accommodation expenses will be borne by her.
After all the dishes were served on the table, everyone just buried their heads in eating, and no one asked about the relationship between Cheng Yinni and Cheng Ci, not even a superfluous nonsense.
This remained the case until the end of the supper, when the twenty people, except for the deaf and dumb servants of the inn, returned to their rooms in turn.
Gu Huaiyan, Ruan Zhinan, and He Zhi lived in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, which was also the only room with a three-person bed; Ke Liuyun and Xiao Wuxian lived in the No. 2 room of Tianzi; and Gou Ruobai and Meng Shaomu lived in the No. 3 room of Tianzi.
In addition, there are Geng Yang who lives in room No. 4, two brothers inlaid with gold and silver in room No. 5, Zhao Daliang in room No. 6, and four brothers who insist on living in the firewood room.
Xiang Yang and Fang Pu are female guests and live in the No. 2 room of the earth. Next door to them are Tao Yao Niang, who lives in the No. 1 room of Dizi, and a middle-aged woman named Dai Chun in the No. 3 room of Dizi.
The ground number room where the female guests live is a winding corridor from the sky number room of the male guests.
Among all the people, there was only one exception, Cheng Ci, who was personally helped back to the room by Cheng Ci.
After personally laying out the futon for Cheng Yinni and washing his feet, Cheng Ci habitually took off his shoes and socks for him: "Let Xiao Ci serve the city lord to wash his feet!"
"I'm tired. Cheng Yinnie happily accepted Cheng Ci's suggestion, with a lukewarm look on his face.
After taking out the towel on his waist to dry his feet for Cheng Yinni, Cheng Ci smiled at him gently: "The city lord can come all the way to see me, Xiao Ci is very honored." β
After lifting the quilt to his waist, seeing that Cheng Ci still had no intention of leaving, Cheng Yinni had no choice but to issue an eviction order: "It's getting late, you've done everything you need to do, go back to your room to rest! From tomorrow, I will be responsible for my diet and daily life, and you don't have to come here to wait for me." β
Even so, Cheng Ci had no intention of leaving, just stood in place and stared at Cheng Yinni.
"What's wrong? Anything else?"
Facing Cheng Yin's question, Cheng Ci bit his lip lightly, fiddled with his fingers, and replied in a muffled voice: "If you go back to the city lord, this room is actually where Xiao Ci Pingsuli lives...... Because this is the only room that is spacious, quiet and unique, I have given it to you, and I hope you will not dislike it. β
"No wonder I smell the real fat powder from the moment I walk through the door...... In that case, I can move to another place, and leave it to its original owner. β
Cheng Yinni lifted the quilt, and the pair of leather boots on the ground were slid aside by Cheng Ci with the instep of his feet: "Since the city lord is willing to come here to see me, I think he has already seen the contents of the letter...... Then why do you insist on living separately from me, and sooner or later we will be husband and wife......
When he said this, Cheng Ci did not have the slightest sense of shyness in his daughter's family, but was very brave and generous. A pair of eyes stared at Cheng Yinni, as if seeking answers.
Cheng Ci is barely regarded as Cheng Yinni's fiancΓ©e, and the entanglement between the two of them has to start more than ten years ago, that is, when Cheng Fufu's mother was still alive.
Speaking of which, this Cheng Ci is none other than Cheng Fufu's mother's niece and Cheng Fufu's cousin. Ben is also a smart, clever, cute and clever little girl, but like Cheng Yinni, she has not been treated well by her family because of her status as a concubine.
Whether it is her aunt or father, the most important thing is always the brother born to her mother-in-law, and Cheng Ci and her mother have a low status in that family.
Her mother was quite beautiful when she was young, and this was the opportunity to give birth to her lustful father. There is a way to do things to others, how long can you get it...... After her father married a new love, he soon forgot about their mother and daughter.
Although Cheng Ci's mother-in-law is a housewife, she is also not favored by her father, and their marriage is only the union of the children of the family, and there is no happiness at all.
Even after giving birth to her brother, the situation of the separation of the husband and wife has not been reversed. On the contrary, his father intensified his efforts to bring all kinds of women home, and he lived for half a month.
Her mother-in-law was born a sinister and jealous villain, and after repeatedly preventing her father from going out for pleasure and unsuccessfully, she vented all her grievances on their mother and daughter, and beating and scolding had long become commonplace.
The reason why Cheng Ci had to cover her face with a veil was precisely because she was accidentally disfigured by her grandmother with a long whip when she was a child. It turned out that a good beauty billet has become an ugly monster that everyone hates.
