See the fastest updates
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.
Under the endless rose-red sky, a few faint wisps of cooking smoke rose up, adding a little life to the twilight.
The place where the smoke rises is a small oasis not common in the desert, less than a hundred feet in circumference, there are two springs that have flowed for an unknown number of years, surrounded by a mess of shrubs, and occasionally a few birds will fly in and drink by the spring.
The largest building on the oasis is an inn, with two layers of loess walls, a flagpole made of wood is erected outside the gate, a big flag is hung high above, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dance writes the four big characters of "Longmen Inn", and people can see it from several miles away.
Business travelers who travel between the desert all year round usually stop here, mainly to replenish water and relieve the loneliness and fatigue of the long and dangerous journey.
So the business of the Dragon Gate Inn has been very good, which makes the proprietress Tulip earn a lot of money and enjoy it.
Her family name is Jin, although she became a little widow at a young age, she is still as beautiful as a flower, spicy and coquettish, and has a group of men with broad shoulders and round waist and strength like cattle under her hands, and her cooking skills are good, but the taste of meat buns is a little strange.
Business was very prosperous tonight, and the inn was full before the sun set, and if any more guests came to stay, only the stables were left to sleep.
This is all thanks to a Tang mission, and more than 30 people almost took the Longmen Inn. The leader was a dark, thin old man with two tufts of black beard on his lips, and when he laughed, his beard trembled and trembled, and he couldn't help but think of the oil stealing rats.
He has a deputy surnamed Chai, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and Tulip likes him very much when he sees Chai Gongzi for the first time. It's a pity that Chai Gongzi has already married, and there is always a beautiful young woman behind him, and the relationship is so good that he is in honey.
This made Tulip very unhappy, thinking why that vixen could be so beautiful as herself, and still have such a good husband.
It was almost time for dinner, and the people of the Datang delegation walked out of the guest room in twos and threes, gathered in the lobby downstairs, and took their seats in strict accordance with their respective identities.
The oil thief and a young couple surnamed Chai sat at a table, drinking unpalatable herbal tea, whispering, and glancing at the tulips sitting behind the account from time to time, as if they were afraid that she was eavesdropping.
Tulip is angry, secretly scolding these five people and six guys, bullying my aunt and grandmother is a country woman who has never seen the world? Don't look at yourself as only a small inn, but the guests who come and go here every day are not thirty or fifty but also twenty or thirty.
She simply twisted her plump and high buttocks to the rooftop on the third floor, sat on the half-high earthen wall with her legs crossed, and sang in a clear voice to the round red sunset.
"Brother, you are breaking through the level, and my sister will send you seven or eight miles. There is a sentence that you don't dare to say, hide in your heart and cry, brother, when will you return, sister will wait for you for a lifetime. There is a sentence that I want to say to you, and the words will come to your lips and tears will bloom......"
Her singing voice is very beautiful, and it is even more rare to sing the enthusiasm of the girl in Guanzhong, which attracted many guests in the lobby to applaud. Most of these people are from Guanlong, and they can hear the cordial local voice when they go out, and they can't help but feel warm.
Tulip couldn't help but be proud, and her voice became louder and louder: "Brother, you are breaking through, and my sister will send you seven or eight miles." There is a sentence that you don't dare to say, hide it in your heart and cry, brother, when will you return, sister will wait for you for a lifetime-"
Her pitch rose higher and higher, and by the time she reached the last two sentences, her voice gradually became dry and hoarse.
The chai lady in the lobby smiled in a low voice, and suddenly opened her lips and sang: "There is a sentence that I want to say to you, and the words will bring tears to your mouth...... "The singing voice is like a heavenly sound, directly three degrees higher than the tulip, and it immediately attracted thunderous applause.
Tulip couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, if it was just those sycophants of the Tang Dynasty Mission clapping their hands and cheering, her heart would be a little calmer, but even a few guys in the store were applauding vigorously, where would she put her face in the desert? !
She suddenly jumped out of the rooftop, grabbed the flagpole with both hands and slid to the ground, and walked into the lobby without saying a word, and came to Chai Niangzi with a wine jar on each side.
"Bang!" put down one of the wine jars and patted the mud, Tulip's face showed a charming smile and said: "My sister sings so well, my sister likes it, I toast you with a cup!" said that it was a cup, but what she brought was a jar.
Chai Niangzi stood up and smiled, "Thank you, sister." ”
The two women each picked up a jar of wine from face to face, looked at each other for a moment, and then almost simultaneously raised their heads and poured it into their mouths.
Tulips keep showing the heroism of the women in Guanzhong, and they have the intention to make Chai Niangzi make a fool of themselves in public, so that the little white face surnamed Chai can see who is the real girl.
Who knows that although the posture of Chai Niangzi drinking is delicate and elegant, the speed is not slow. The two of them drank a jar of wine almost at the same time, and slammed the empty jar upside down on the table.
The crowd in the lobby was thunderous with joy, their slaps were red, and some good deeds slammed the table and stomped their feet, shaking the room and buzzing.
Chai Niangzi sat down slowly, smiled at her husband first, and said, "Sister's wine is so spicy, my sister almost made a fool of myself." ”
Seeing that Chai Niangzi's face did not change and her demeanor was free, she knew that the Daoist people were saying kind words to herself. Tulips couldn't help but be discouraged for a while, the woman in the Central Plains could drink it so much, she was still the first time she had seen it, if she continued to fight, maybe who would make a fool of herself first.
She waved her little hand and giggled: "My sister is really good at talking, my sister at your table is invited tonight." As he spoke, the watery peach blossom eyes deliberately glanced at the little white face.
Chai Niangzi frowned her delicate eyebrows, and said with a smile: "How embarrassing is this? ”
- Is this ridiculing my aunt for being poor and having no money?
Tulip carefully looked at the little lady in front of her, who looked like Sven Wen, and actually talked with a needle and a gun and a stick, she sat on the table with a slam of her ass, a pair of green embroidered shoes swayed under the skirt, and almost rubbed the thigh of the little white face surnamed Chai several times, and said with a smile: "Sister, you can order it casually, you can't eat poor sister with a little belly chicken intestines." ”
Chai Niangzi heard the mockery of the tulip, and said with a smile: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey fate." ”
"That's right! Sister, don't play tricks with your sister, my sister has crossed more bridges than you have walked. Tulip jumped off the table, her towering chest pressed against the door of Chai Gongzi's face, and shouted at a shopkeeper: "Old dog, the cost of this table is grandma's!"
Chai Gongzi's body leaned back slightly to avoid Tulip's chest attack, but she unexpectedly reached out and touched her face. Without waiting for Chai Niangzi to turn her face, Tulip had already giggled and walked into the courtyard outside, singing crisply to the sun that was about to go down: "My own brother, I will let my sister enter your cave room tonight." We are together for the rest of our lives, my sister will be your bride every day, and my sister will be your bride every day......"
Chai Niangzi looked at her husband, looked embarrassed when she saw him smile bitterly, and thought that it was really difficult to meet such a superb proprietress. The more you provoke her, the more she will come, and it is better to stay away.
At this time, the shopkeeper began to serve the food, and all the meals were served in copper basins, although the price was more expensive, but it was worth the money to eat these in the desert.
Tulips wander alone in the compound, the sky is getting dark, and the fiery wind blows from the depths of the desert, and there is no coolness of the night.
She lifted her cuffs and wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead, and continued to patrol the yard, preparing to close the door.
Suddenly, four small black dots slowly appeared on the horizon in the distance, and there was no need to ask the guests who had come to stay overnight.
Tulips frowned at them, wondering how to get them away. All the rooms in the inn are already full, and she doesn't care if she earns a few copper plates.
The four men approached, and in front of them was a young man, holding a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old. The two were followed by a man and a woman, and the woman's appearance belonged to the kind that Tulip hated, the male ...... And when he saw the boy clearly, Tulip's eyes lit up, he was younger and more handsome than the Chai Gongzi in the inn, with a pair of flexible eyes flashing a wicked smile, and a flying aura that made the mature woman's heart thump.
After looking at the pause, the four people had come closer. The young man asked with a smile on his face, "Dare to ask this cutie, is there any room available in the inn?"
When the tulip arrived, her heart was full of joy, and she knew that she was about to be the mother of the little girl, but it was comfortable to listen to it.
Her eyes fluttered and she asked, "There are four guest officers, right?"
The young man immediately corrected: "Wrong, my son brought two maids, one big and one small, plus an old bird." ”
Tulip was stunned, glanced at the ugly old man behind him with a distorted face, and said with a smile: "The little brother is really good at laughing, how can he go out with an old bird?"
The young man said: "You don't understand, brother, I like to walk birds." ”
Tulip smiled and grabbed the young man's hand and said, "With my sister...... Well, come with my sister, and you'll be in my room tonight. ”
"Is this okay?" the young man was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately declared when he remembered something: "You are not allowed to increase the price of the house indiscriminately." ”
Tulip agreed: "Don't worry, I'll give you a twenty percent discount." Your maid and the bird will have to live in the stable, and I'll give you half the price. ”
She pulled the boy around the compound to the rear, and shouted, "Night owl, where are you dead, here are the guests!"
The young man grabbed Tulip's smooth little hand and turned around and ordered: "Flower fairy, you and the old bird sleep in the stable, and I will live in the guest room with Xiaoya." ”
Tulip was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the little girl who was walking with her head down silently, and it was really a beautiful embryo, but it was this young man's maid who was in the room, and she looked away just now.
She couldn't help but look at the boy with admiration, this is the legendary Lori cultivation technique. It's a pity that the little lotus only showed its sharp corners, and it took a few more years to bloom, and now it is not comparable to himself.
So with a big heart, the willow eyebrows were upside down and shouted at the backyard: "Night owl, dare to secretly drink the wine prepared by my aunt and grandmother for the guests? Don't think that my aunt and grandmother don't know the way, I smell the smell of wine." See that I don't break your legs!"
The young man smiled when he heard this, and said, "Sister, won't he be a three-legged cat?"
Tulip smirked, and when she saw the scolded three-legged cat coming over, she snatched the wine jar he hid behind him, handed it to the young man, and said, "Please drink, my sister doesn't count your money!"
The young man took the wine jar and said with a happy brow: "Sister, you are really a sweet spring in the desert of enthusiasm!"
