This year is a special year, the literary and martial arts examinations are around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the large and small inns in the capital are overcrowded, and the business is booming. In particular, there are a lot of people from the rivers and lakes, most of whom are rushing to see the world to see if they can find an opportunity to make a fortune.

Lingyu asked Ma Junlan to let the beggars help the disciples pass on the news that there was also a response, Hongjiabao's people rushed to the capital first, Hong Feng, Hong Xia, Li Meijiao and a group of three people came to the door of Xinglong Inn at noon this day, Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him with a smile and said: "The three guest officers are staying in the hotel or eating." Hong Feng jumped off the horse and said, "Eat first, then stay in the hotel." Xiao Er smiled and said: "I'm sorry guest officer, it's okay to eat, it's not okay to stay in a hotel, our inn is full, and there is no room to live in." ”

Hong Xia and Li Meijiao also got off the horse, Hong Xia said: "Let's find someone, is his name Zhang Lingyu staying in your inn?" Xiao Er immediately laughed and said: "You are looking for Zhang Gongzi's friends, then please come in, Miss Chang has instructed, those who come to find Zhang Gongzi are invited to her guest room." Xiao Er called a group of men to lead their horses to the backyard to feed, and he took Hong Xia and them into the inn and went up to the second floor, Xiao Er said: "Three guest officers, this floor has been covered by Zhang Gongzi." Xiao Er then shouted: "Miss Chang, there is a friend of Gongzi Zhang who is looking for you." ”

The door of the No. 2 guest room opened, Chang Yue'e and Ma Junlan walked out, Chang Yue'e looked at them and smiled: "It turned out to be Sister Xia, you are here, please sit in the room." Hong Xia and the others were not polite, and they entered the guest room with a few words. Ma Junlan was busy pouring tea for Hong Feng and them, and Chang Yue'e asked them to sit down and said with a smile: "You haven't eaten yet." Hong Xia said: "When we came to the capital, we went straight here, and we didn't have time to eat yet." Chang Yue'e said: "That's just right." Lan Mei and I didn't eat either. Immediately ask Xiao Er to send it over. Ma Junlan served each of them a cup of tea.

Hong Xia smiled: "Sister Lan." So polite today. Ma Junlan said with a smile: "Today is when you just arrived, I will serve you, and if you want to drink it in the future, you can pour it yourself, we don't have a ring here." Hong Xia smiled: "That's thanks to the sister." Ma Junlan smiled: "You're welcome." Everyone laughed. Chang Yue'e walked outside the door and said to the guy standing at the staircase: "Little Er, let's serve us wine and food." ”

Chang Yue'e turned back to the people in the house: "Sister Xia, let's go to the dining room to eat." Hong Xia smiled and said, "Sister E, haven't you already asked Xiao Er to deliver wine and food?" Ma Junlan said: "Sister Xia, that's the case." The eldest brother saw that there were more and more people from outside the capital, so he took all the guest rooms on this floor, and also cleaned up a special dining room. Hong Xia said: "So that's the case, why don't you see Brother Yu, Sister Yan, Brother Tong?" Chang Yue'e said: "Sister Xia, Brother Hong, sister-in-law." We went to eat and talked while eating. ”

Chang Yue'e and the others sat down. The wine and food were quickly served, everyone was chatting while eating, and Chang Yue'e told Lingyu about Lingyu's stay in the old mansion, Tong Yunfei and Hao Yan going to Hongze Lake to investigate the case. Li Meijiao said: "Zhang Gongzi really did great things. Chang Yue'e said: "Brother Yu's purpose for going to the Pavilion Mansion to do things is only known to a few of us, and it must be kept absolutely secret from the outside world. Hong Feng said: "We understand this, Meijiao and I will never say it." ”

Chang Yue'e and the others finished eating, Xiao Er brought tea again, everyone sat and drank tea and chatted, Hong Feng said: "It seems that most of the inns are full, we have to find another way." Chang Yue'e said: "What else do you want to find an inn, here is a room." Hong Feng said: "There will definitely not be enough people to live in the future, anyway, we have a relationship to find a place to live, so it is better to find it as soon as possible." Chang Yue'e said: "Sister Xia will live here." Hong Xia said: "I'll also go with my eldest brother, and I'll come to play with you when I have time." Chang Yue'e said: "Sister Xia, do you have an opinion on us?" Hong Xia smiled: "No, don't mention how happy I am to see you, I just want to go to my father's old friend's house with my brother and sister-in-law, it may be more convenient, and the rooms in the inn are limited." ”

Chang Yue'e said: "Where is that friend's residence, it's not far from here." Hong Xia said: "It is said that it is in Xicheng, and he is also a person in the martial arts, named Wang Yuandong, nicknamed the King of the Golden Sword." Ma Junlan said: "You said the Golden Sword King, I still know a little, his reputation in the capital is still quite loud, he is not only good at martial arts but also can operate, he has never been defeated in battles with people, a golden knife is superb, so he has the nickname of the Golden Sword King, and there are many disciples under him." He is also good at business, he is also a wealthy businessman, and some people call him Wang Daguanren, he likes people to call him Wang Daguanren, and his family lives in Xicheng Zhuangyuan Street. Hong Xia said: "Lan Mei also knows Wang Daguan. ”

Chang Yue'e said: "It's not that Lan Mei knows, it's that we went shopping a few days ago and passed through Zhuangyuan Street, and when we saw a large house, we inquired about these things." Ma Junlan said: "If you have a relationship with this Wang official, you are not afraid of not being able to find a place to live." Chang Yue'e said, "Sister Xia, let's take you over now." After saying that, a few people left the room.

Chang Yue'e asked Xiao Er to lead Hong Feng and their horses out of the gate, and several of them walked out of the inn from the main gate, and they took the horses and walked towards Xicheng.

When they came to Zhuangyuan Street and walked to the gate of the Golden Sword King, Hong Feng took out a letter from his bosom and said to the gatekeeper: "Trouble the door official to pass it on, just say that I am a friend from Shandong and want to see Wang Daguan." The gatekeeper muttered: "Every day, there are people who claim to be friends of the big officials, but as soon as they meet, they don't know each other, they just want to get some benefits, so they bully our big officials are good people." Ma Junlan couldn't hold her breath anymore, and said impatiently: "Who do you say, you mean that we are here to cheat and eat and drink, I'm here, Sister Xia, let's go." ”

Hong Feng said: "Miss Ma is a little restless, it's not too late to figure it out and leave." Hong Feng said to the gatekeeper again: "That's good, you hand this letter to Wang Daguan, he wants to say that he doesn't know us, and we will leave immediately." The gatekeeper said, "Okay, you wait." After saying that, he took the letter and walked towards the courtyard.

After a while, a tall, imposing, and blue-clothed young man walked to the door and looked at Hong Xia and them, and secretly said, "The brothers of the Hong family bring so many beauties, they are really admired." He immediately smiled and said, "Which one is Brother Hong from Hongjiabao, Shandong." Hong Feng smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Below is Hong Feng of Hongjiabao, and Brother Tai is." The young man said: "In the next Wang Chenghu, I came to greet Brother Hong at the order of my father." After speaking, he pointed to Hong Xia and said, "These girls are all friends of Brother Hong." ”

Hong Feng said: "This is Neizi, this is my sister." Pointing to Li Meijiao and Hong Xia, Wang Chenghu clasped his fists and saluted: "It turned out to be Mrs. Sister-in-law and the sister-in-law of the Hong family, it is really disrespectful." Both of them replied: "The prince is polite." Hong Feng introduced: "This is Miss Ma, and this is Miss Chang." Wang Gongzi looked at Chang Yue'e carefully at this time, his eyes lit up, and he had an expression that he couldn't help it, Hong Feng saw this and hurriedly said, "Brother Wang." Wang Chenghu suddenly woke up and hurriedly smiled: "I lost my temper just now, which made you laugh, but you can't blame me entirely." ”

Ma Junlan said: "Of course you can't blame it all, the main thing to blame is that Miss Chang is so beautiful, which naturally makes people's hearts pound." Chang Yue'e said cautiously: "Sister Lan, you're joking again." Wang Chenghu felt even more embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Brother Hong, please come in quickly." "Everyone is walking towards the house. (To be continued......)
