Chapter 680: Mei Niang's Journey
The arrow was already on the string, Qing Xiao suddenly rushed into the street and blocked the way of the merchants. The sound of firecrackers continued, but the sound of gongs stopped. Everyone looked at Qing Xiao and saw that he was middle-aged and fat, dressed simply, but his eyebrows and eyes were particularly handsome, and he was still very handsome.
Qing Xiao looked back at Li Chang Xiao, and seeing the latter's encouraging look, he suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and the words "beauty trap" lingered in his mind. Qing Xiao knew that he was born handsome, and he had many suitors before and after his spiritual energy was exhausted. But now that he is middle-aged, he is no longer the same as before.
Li Changxiao watched from afar, with a faint smile on his lips. It has always been a tradition in the Inn to sacrifice beauty where it is possible. It is impossible for him to let Qingxiao be alone.
Soon, Qingxiao accepted the reality and started to strike up a conversation in a somewhat clumsy way, stating his purpose. His appearance and temperament were far beyond that of ordinary people. Once he found his state, he became imposing, and his demeanor and character far surpassed everyone else.
Soon, most people in the merchant gang looked at Qingxiao differently. They thought that he was unfathomable and a rare master, and they all agreed to stay at the Laiqun Inn.
In this way, Laiqu Inn welcomed its first big business. Li Changxiao rushed back to the inn and ordered two waiters, two cooks, and an accountant to be ready to entertain.
The chef prepared hot food to welcome us, the waiter cleaned the guest rooms and kept the store clean, everything was in order. When the big merchant group arrived, everyone in the merchant group exclaimed: "Brother Qing, your inn is really extraordinary. Although it is not a magnificent building, it is not bad at all!"
Everyone felt that they had come to the right place. The Laiqu Inn looked like a tower and covered a large area. It was built by the great masters such as Mei Sanniang, so it couldn't be too bad.
In fact, judging from the standard alone, even if it was a country, not to mention a business group, staying at the Laiqu Inn would be considered as marrying up. Of course, there is no distinction between high and low business. Even a beggar passing by is qualified to stay at the inn.
More than ten people from the business gang took their seats one after another. Two waiters and Li Changxiao went in and out of the kitchen, serving them tea and meals. For a moment, the inn was extremely lively and crowded.
Qing Xiao thought: "If the boss lady were here, she would definitely be smiling from ear to ear. I finally understand why the boss lady is always thinking about Brother Li."
The merchants invited Qingxiao to sit down, drink with him, and give him lots of money. Qingxiao was also drinking and was very happy. He drank and played finger-guessing games with the merchants and even took out a deck of wooden cards.
Qingxiao told everyone that this wooden sign had a long history and was very interesting to play with. Then he taught everyone the rules, which were taught to him by Mei Sanniang.
Two years ago, he came to Laiqu Inn. At that time, Mei Sanniang was the only one in the inn. She slept at the counter all day. The tables and chairs were covered with dust, and no one cleaned them. After Qingxiao arrived, someone started to do some odd jobs. The proprietress felt bored, so she taught Qingxiao to play cards for fun. The two of them played reluctantly, but after a few days, Mei Sanniang lost interest and simply put away the wooden cards and hid them behind the counter.
After taking out the wooden sign, the lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly became even more lively. Qing Xiao's mind seemed to be worldly, but in fact he was closer to the truth, pushing away the clouds and mist to see the clear sky.
For a while, the hall was filled with noise, cheers, and howls, and some people were singing leisurely songs. Although it was dark outside, the atmosphere inside was harmonious.
The new ones replace the old ones.
The instigator of this excitement climbed up to the roof alone and tapped the tiles lightly with his fingers, making crisp "ding" and "ding" sounds.
He gazed into the distance, not knowing who or what he was thinking about. He took out a jar of fine wine and unsealed the wax cloth. In an instant, the smell of wine filled the air. Just one sniff of it intoxicated him and he was mesmerized.
After taking a sip, he said, "I have already said that if the position of shopkeeper was given to me, the Laiqu Inn would have been prosperous long ago."
As he spoke, it was as if someone was drinking with him under the moonlight. It was as if someone was laughing and scolding him, "You thief, I have long guessed that you have bad intentions and have been coveting my position for a long time."
Li Chang smiled leisurely, lying on the roof tiles, with the bright moon in his eyes, fine wine in his hands, and lively sounds in his ears, as if he wanted to convey this feeling to someone far away at the end of the world.
He himself didn't know that this was what made him seem even more lonely.
……
A woman was heading north, stopping and starting. Seeing that it was getting late, she hurriedly checked into an inn.
The inn was three stories high and had simple facilities, but the owner was very domineering and did not treat the guests as human beings at all. Unfortunately, the surrounding area was all wasteland, and this was the only place that could barely accommodate people.
The woman was also fierce and beautiful, as pretty as a flower, and charming and attractive. But as soon as she came in, she started to find fault with him, and her words and deeds were full of jealousy.
Why is this inn so shabby and remote, yet has such good business? She felt that the world was unfair and that she was being cheated by the gods. Then she sighed and thought that it was the fate of a beautiful woman, that she was too beautiful and that the gods were jealous of her.
The innkeeper had never seen such a difficult guest, and she was the only one who said all the nice and mean things. Another jianghu guest saw that the woman was indeed beautiful, plump and sexy, from head to toe, with a kind of "charm" that could seduce the soul.
She was so beautiful, and seeing her in the wilderness, he had evil intentions and wanted to do something illegal. But without exception, they were all broken by the hand, and they could not move at all.
She hid all the vagrants with broken limbs in the dark. One person was drinking wine in the lobby, with a red face, twisting his slender waist, showing his seductiveness.
Seems like an intentional seduction.
Of course, if the person who approached her had a good attitude, she would just tease him a few times and let him go. But if the person had a bad attitude and wanted to attack her because he was so good at martial arts, she would break his legs and feet without hesitation.
In this way, within an hour, more than ten people had been defeated by her. After the woman had eaten and drunk her fill and done everything she could, she even counted the number of people herself. When she saw that there were more than ten people, she giggled happily, thinking that her charm was still as strong as before.
The shopkeeper witnessed the whole process and realized that the woman "did not seduce him intentionally" but "deliberately seduced him". The shopkeeper stood at the counter, watching the seductress coming towards him, feeling flustered but not daring to move.
The woman stood in front of her, holding her chin, and looked at the shopkeeper curiously. The shopkeeper suddenly thought: "She looked at me like this, could it be that she was interested in me? So she deliberately flirted with me, but I was as calm as a rock, not pretending at all. So she got angry and broke the hands and feet of the man who flirted with her one by one?"
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper straightened his chest and touched his cheek. He felt that although his appearance was not very good, it must be his inner self that was revealed unintentionally and attracted this girl. It was really a sin to cause so many people to lose their limbs for no reason.
"Bang!" Suddenly a punch came. The woman left straight away, leaving only a voice: "Someone wants to take my position as shopkeeper. I can't beat him, so I can only beat you."
However, as she spoke, the woman had a smile on her face and walked briskly, and it was obvious that she was in a very good mood, without any resentment at all.
