Boss Zhou of the Gaosheng Inn is in a mood of both ice and fire today.

Boss Zhou has a bitter face, and it is difficult to smile all year round.But Boss Zhou would never admit that he was born with a sad face, he felt that it was all an acquired worry.The Gaosheng Inn is an ancestral property. It has been in the capital for 100 years. No matter the surrounding high-rise buildings or bungalows, during these 100 years, they have been demolished and rebuilt.This was originally a kind of pride, at least in the hands of his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, but it was not so when it came to him.Because when he took over the Gaosheng Inn from his father, the Gaosheng Inn was already very old and really needed to be rebuilt.Originally, he could have pretended to be deaf and dumb on the issue of rebuilding. Anyway, he was used to thrift. He neither planned to dress brighter, nor did he want to marry another wife. Being able to hide in the shade of a tree and sip herbal tea, and his wife less nagging around his ears, Boss Zhou feels that life is very passable, so why bother!However, Lao Zhou was most afraid of this, but when he first took over the inn, a Hongbin Inn opened opposite the Gaosheng Inn. It was a three-story building, with a door with black lacquer nails and copper nails, painted and carved windows, and hanging hangings under the eaves. Four scarlet lanterns made of gauze, with the words "Swan Goose Guest" written on it, as rich as you want.Lao Zhou looked at the Hongbin Inn, and then at his own Gaosheng Inn, his smooth and tender face turned into a bitter melon face after looking at it again and again.

Lao Zhou also wants to raise some money to renovate the inn, but the business of their inn is always sluggish, and his wife is always sick. Where there is money to renovate, the most they can do is to ask a craftsman to repaint the inside and outside. When the craftsman counted the money, Lao Zhou felt that it was too expensive and not worth it.After coming and going again and again, Lao Zhou blamed everything on the Hongbin Inn at the opposite door: it was built so high that it blocked his own sun, he found some enchanting women to solicit customers at the door all day long, and robbed him of his business, and the food was priced so high. It is simply a huge profit.But complaints are complaints, the business of Hongbin Inn is getting better day by day, and Lao Zhou is getting more and more lethargic every day.

However, there are times when good things happen.On the sixth day of February, Young Master Guo of the Changfeng Escort Bureau threw a hydrangea ball. Many people came from Beijing, and the cold Gaosheng Inn was also full. Old Zhou happily put up a sign saying it was full.Let's live a prosperous day.

Unexpectedly, this good luck lasted until the next day.Early in the morning, several groups of people came, all looking for someone.What is the name of the person I'm looking for, Kuaijian Xinli.Lao Zhou had an impression of this person, with a big scar on his forehead, he was not a good stubble at first glance.Old Zhou wanted to perfunctory him that the room was full, who would have thought that he snatched the ledger, flipped through it, raised his head, grinned wide, showing his white teeth, and said with a smile, "Master Xin only needs one room. It doesn't matter if you go to the room or not, if you say no, don't blame me for driving all your guests out."

Oh my god, why is this scarred face scarier when he smiles than when he doesn't smile? Old Zhou has always been timid, and when he saw that he couldn't be offended, he hurriedly ordered Xiaoer to take this Xin to live on the second floor.

Lao Zhou thought of the man surnamed Xin, and hurriedly asked his clerk to knock on the door to ask him to come out. The clerk said he had gone out early in the morning.The people who came didn't believe it, and they all forced Lao Zhou to take him into the room to check, and they really went out.But these people didn't leave. Some asked for tea and some wine, so they sat down in the lobby, and they sat until noon.Lunch was also eaten in the inn.The food at the Gaosheng Inn is notoriously unpalatable. Lao Zhou would rather eat his wife's food than eat at the inn, but Lao Zhou is unwilling to change the cook. If he changes this cook, where can he find a cheaper and more honest cook.People often scolded Lao Zhou for food, but Lao Zhou was used to it anyway, so he listened to others scolding.Fortunately, none of these people thought the food was bad, but none of them could finish the food.Who cares, just earn a few more coins.Obviously, these people's minds were neither on food nor on drinks, they all looked at the door anxiously, wanting to leave but reluctant to leave.They are also quite wary of each other, with cold eyes, as if there is hatred, but they don't say a word, and only express hostility with their eyes, as if they are performing a pantomime.Lao Zhou was too lazy to find out what these people were doing with Xin, and he was too lazy to find out what the relationship between these people was, as long as no one reneged on their debts.These people waited until nightfall before leaving one after another.

The next morning, when it was still daylight, someone knocked on the door. Although Lao Zhou was woken up, he didn't get up, muttered a few curses, turned over, and continued to sleep.He vaguely heard someone asking Kuaijian Xinli, and Lao Zhou covered his head with a quilt: Even if the sky falls, you can't delay your early morning sleep.

Lao Zhou finally got enough sleep, and Lao Zhou, who had enough sleep, was in a particularly good mood. Lao Zhou lifted the curtain and entered the lobby, and his mood was even better.Because, the lobby was full of people again, even more people than yesterday, although these people still just ordered a pot of tea like yesterday, they still stared at each other like yesterday.As for him, it's best to sit all day like yesterday.Unexpectedly, Lao Zhou's wish came true.These people really sat there all day long.Lao Zhou was as happy as if he could drink a pot of high-quality fragrant slices and eat a sauced elbow from Tianfu every day.In the evening, these people finally left. Lao Zhou asked the accountant to stay aside, picked up the abacus himself, and calculated the profits of the past three days. tune.While humming, a person opened the door curtain and came in, it was Xin Li with the scarred face.At this moment, in the eyes of Lao Zhou, Xin Li is so cute, even with that scar, he looks charming and individual, Lao Zhou hurriedly put down his abacus and greeted him, saying: "Master Xin, you have been leaving early and returning late these few days. It's been hard work."

Xin Li looked at Lao Zhou in puzzlement and said, "It's not hard, Mr. Xin, I've lived quite comfortably these few days."

Of course, Lao Zhou didn't know Xin Li's heroic deeds in the Changfeng Escort these days. Of course, Lao Zhou didn't care at all.However, Lao Zhou is not stupid. He knows that people who seek Xin Li are not good at fault. If they fight with Xin Li, it will be their small shop that will suffer. Lao Zhou continued to strike up a conversation and said, "Master Xin still has to go out tomorrow morning?"

Xin Li had already walked up the stairs with long legs, but Lao Zhou's round arms and legs couldn't keep up. Xin Li said while walking, "Of course."

In Lao Zhou's eyes, Xin Li's figure instantly became incomparably majestic.

It was another early morning when he didn't want to open his eyes. Lao Zhou was woken up by a knock on the door. Lao Zhou opened his eyes for a while, then closed them again in a daze, thinking happily in his heart, the one who was looking for Xin Li came again , is really coming.Old Zhou turned over and fell asleep.Lao Zhou dreamed that there were more customers in the store today than yesterday, and the wine he ordered was Luzhou Daqu, Zhuyeqing, and Lao Zhou personally served abalone, bird's nest, bear's paw, shark's fin from the kitchen... Although it was a dream, Lao Zhou seemed to be I know that I am dreaming, because I have never had these good things in Lao Zhou's store. In fact, Lao Zhou has never eaten these things, but this is a dream, and dreams are good. Lao Zhou decided to taste these in his dreams tasty.However, as soon as Lao Zhou served the dishes, the guests at several tables fought for the stools. There were too many people!A strong man picked up a stool and threw it at the black-faced man opposite, and a white-faced scholar slapped the table lightly, and the Fraxinus mandshurica table shattered into several parts.Lao Zhou was in a hurry. These tables and chairs were passed down by his wife, and he also hoped to pass them on to his great-great-great-grandchildren. Lao Zhou cried and persuaded this one, but in the end, another table was destroyed...Old Zhou I woke up suddenly, rubbed my eyes, thinking how could I have such an unlucky dream, and I couldn't sleep peacefully.Lao Zhou was considering whether to sleep for a while, when he suddenly heard a loud rattling sound, Lao Zhou was so startled that he trembled all over and turned over: This is not a dream, it is real, someone really smashed it in his shop. thing.

Like a fried hen whose chick has been robbed, Lao Zhou walked with a stick and shouted: "Whoever dares to smash my things, I will fight with my life, my ash table, my nanmu sticks!" stool, my mahogany staircase..."

Old Zhou rushed to the lobby vigorously, his grief and indignation continued to escalate, all the eyes of twenty people in the lobby were focused on Lao Zhou, and the shop assistants Xiao Han and Zhao Erwei came up and said, "Boss, Don't be excited, don't be excited, Daxia Xin and Escort Li made a move and smashed a teapot and a few teacups. We know that you always cherish things. The teacup will be deducted from our wages, so calm down." He reached out and slowly took the stick out of Lao Zhou's hand.

Lao Zhou stared at the gleaming broken porcelain on the ground with stiff eyes, the grief and indignation receded like a tide, and the tide of shame and embarrassment quickly rushed up again.

Just when Lao Zhou didn't know how to end it, a voice came from above: "Of course the broken things will be counted on Li Escort's account."

Old Zhou Xunsheng raised his head and saw a man in brown clothes with a scar on his face standing on the railing on the second floor with one foot. It was Xin Li. If my mahogany railing is broken, can you afford it?"

Before he finished speaking, he only heard the movement of his clothes, and Lao Zhou felt a blur in front of his eyes, and Xin Li had already arrived in front of him, Xin Li bared his white teeth, flicked his hair and said: "The shopkeeper, if you paint it with red paint, it is mahogany? "

Lao Zhou was so angry that his teeth were itching, he wished he could pounce on him and shave off the hair on his forehead, so that he could shake it back and forth again!But Xin Li was a full head taller than him, and Lao Zhou didn't have the guts to say it.

Over there, Escort Li shouted: "The surname is Xin, it can be counted on my account, and Miss Cheng's hydrangea must be handed over."

Xin Li shook his head, strode over, and said, "You want Miss Cheng's hydrangea, but you can't beat me, what are you going to do?"

Li Biaotou just casually said harsh words like ordinary Jianghu people, when Xin Li asked such a question, he didn't know how to answer.Xin Li looked around at all kinds of people in the inn, laughed, and said: "Everyone wants to grab the hydrangea from me, right? Are you going to fight in groups or fight with wheels?" Xin Li patted his sword and said, "But my sword has always been If you pull out the scabbard, you will kill, which one of you will go first?"

Although Xin Li was joking and carefree, the atmosphere in the inn suddenly became tense. Few people in the Jianghu had seen Xin Li make a move. Except for his friends, all the people who had seen him were dead. How could these people not be afraid?

Lao Zhou's blood rushed to his brain in an instant, and he rushed to grab Xin Li's sword way: "You can't do it, you really can't do it, this is my ancestral legacy!"

Xin Li had countless chances to kick Lao Zhou away, but for some reason, this kick just didn't go out, allowing Lao Zhou to grab his sword. You know, in this world, Lao Zhou is the first Those who dared to grab Kuaijian Xinli's sword, everyone in the inn sweated for Lao Zhou.However, Xin Li didn't know what to do with the short man in front of him with a round nose and the corners of his eyes covered with gum because he didn't have time to wash his face when he woke up, so he said, "Okay, okay, don't do it, you should do it first!" take away."

Old Zhou said: "I won't take it away, if you take it away, you will fight."

Several times of persuasion failed, and Lao Zhou, like a grieving woman in a boudoir, grabbed her husband whom she hadn't seen for a long time and refused to let go.Xin Li couldn't help it, and pulled the sword out of the sheath three inches with a clang. Lao Zhou was frightened and let go of his hand.

Xin Li said: "It's boring to fight back and forth. Master Xin, I really don't want to do it today. Besides, winning Miss Cheng's heart doesn't depend on martial arts. Today, let's do something different. Everyone said Say what you want to Miss Cheng, whoever speaks well will give this hydrangea to him!"

Everyone cheered.With a snap, Xin Li put the sword in his hand on the nearest table, sat down with a big horse and golden sword, and said, "Who will come first?"

Lao Zhou let out a breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He finally passed the test again today, so he hurriedly ordered his staff to serve tea for Xin Li.

Lao Zhou was not very interested in what they said, just glanced at them from time to time and listened to a few words.I saw those who came up to fight Xin Li, there were really all kinds of people, from the Jianghu, scholars, rich men... Miss Cheng really has enough admirers, and the members are complicated enough.However, none of these people can speak for Xin Li.In fact, Xin Li's answer is not complicated at all, and can be simply divided into three parts.In the first part, you know what Miss Cheng likes to eat most, what color she likes most, what jewelry she likes most, what she likes to do in her spare time, and what wishes she has in her life.You don't know, you don't know why you won Miss Cheng's heart.Part Two, does Miss Cheng know you?Does she understand you?Miss Cheng and I have gone through many escorts together, and we have been through life and death together. We are familiar with each other, and we have long been confidants who share weal and woe.Are you related to her?The third part, is your martial arts as good as mine, your martial arts is not as good as mine, why do you protect Miss Cheng, protect the Changfeng Escort, you can't protect Miss Cheng, you can't protect the Changfeng Escort, why do you marry her?

In the face of these trilogy, everyone is defeated, they all go on the stage with high morale and end in despair.Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the inn, Xin Lizhi said triumphantly: "Miss Cheng has already thrown the hydrangea to me, the marriage is destined, and everyone has to go against the sky. I think it's better to go home and marry another good wife." Bar."

As soon as the words fell, a deep and magnetic voice sounded at the door, saying: "Xin Li, you are talking too much."

Lao Zhou looked up and saw a young man with long hair loose at the door walking into the inn. His cold gaze made Lao Zhou feel uncomfortable, and Lao Zhou felt that this man was not easy to mess with.

Xin Li laughed, and said: "Feng Ping, I know you are not convinced by the defeat, let's compete again today." After speaking, he stepped up on the table, his right hand was already holding the sword in his hand.Lao Zhou jumped up and hugged Xin Li's leg, saying, "Master Xin, we agreed not to do anything, we agreed!"

Xin Li smiled bitterly, looked at Feng Ping, and said, "It seems that we still can't have a good time today!"

Feng Ping said: "Why do you need to do anything, I will also grind my mouth with you."

Hearing this, Lao Zhou let go of Xin Li's thigh and slowly retreated.Feng Ping flicked the hem of his robe, and sat opposite Xin Li.Xin Li jumped back lightly and sat back in his original position.

Xin Li said: "We two have such a friendship, so naturally we can't be like them."

Feng Ping said: "How do you want to compare?"

Xin Li said, "We're talking and drinking together."

Hearing this, Feng Ping laughed out loud and didn't stop for a while.Xin Li frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

Feng Ping said: "On weekdays, the four of us drink, you are the one who drinks the least amount. Tie Yi can only drink eight liang, and you can't even drink Tie Yi, how can you drink with me who can't pour a thousand cups?"

Xin Li said: "That is on weekdays, for the sake of picking jade, I will definitely beat you today!"

Feng Ping said: "You said this, don't regret it, tell others that I bullied you."

Xin Li said loudly: "Joke, who dares to bully me. Xiao Er, serve the wine, the big altar."

Old Zhou was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked Xiaoer to pour the most expensive Fenjiu into a jar, thinking in his heart, today's fear is worth it.

Old Zhou listened to what they said.

Feng Ping said: "I have known Caiyu since she was ten years old. Where were you at that time?"

Xin Li: ...

Feng Ping said: "Drink."

Xin Li picked up a bowl of wine and drank it slowly.

Feng Pingdao: "When the bodyguard bureau is out, Caiyu sometimes stays at the bodyguard bureau. Caiyu often recites a poem, do you know which one it is?"

Xin Li: ...

Feng Ping said: "Let's see each other off in the mountains, and the sun will cover the firewood. The spring grass will be green next year, will the king and grandson return? Drink!"

Xin Li silently drank a bowl of wine.

……

Lao Zhou secretly laughed: If he gambled, Xin Li would have lost all his pants.

Seeing that Xin Li was drunk and blurred, Feng Ping was still sober, and said, "Xin Li, where is the hydrangea? It's time to leave it to me, don't pretend to be drunk!"

Xin Li's tongue was a little big, and he said, "I really can't drink as much as you do."

Xin Li reluctantly drank half of the bowl of wine in his hand, and said, "Feng Ping, why didn't I see that you still have this kind of thought about picking jade?"

Feng Ping said: "How can you easily see this kind of thing?"

Xin Li said: "When did Yanzhi know about it? Could it be that she only found out on the day she picked up the hydrangea ball? You have hidden it deep enough!"

Feng Ping's complacent expression gradually became gloomy, he picked up a bowl of wine, and drank it down with a tilt of his neck.Xin Li hurriedly added another bowl, and said, "You said that day that Yanzhi is only my past, and picking jade is my future. I wonder if it has ever reached Yanzhi's ears?"

Feng Ping didn't answer, but tilted his neck again and downed a bowl of wine.

Xin Li continued to pour wine for Feng Ping, and said, "Oh, you were a regular customer of Rouge Winery, so I'm afraid you won't be able to enter now."

Feng Ping drank another gulp, Xin Li just picked up the wine jar and was about to give it to Feng Ping, but Feng Ping grabbed it with his hands, stood up, and drank it down like that.After drinking, Feng Ping threw the jar away, only to hear the murmur, the wine jar fell to pieces, and Lao Zhou was feeling sorry for the wine jar, only to hear Xin Li whisper: "Feng Ping, wake up, wake up. Oh, look Come on, Rouge is really your Achilles' heel."

Lao Zhou looked up and saw that Feng Ping had fallen asleep on the table.

Xin Li ordered people to help Feng Ping to sleep in his room, and then said to the remaining ten or so people in the inn: "Who else wants to make gestures with Master Xin?"

These ten or so people looked at each other with their own eyes, but no one dared to take a step forward.Xin Li said: "Then Master Xin will not accompany you."

Xin Li was about to shake his hair and go upstairs, but he heard someone shouting outside the door: "There is still me and me."

It turned out to be a woman's voice, the voice was high-pitched, high-pitched, sweet and pleasing to the ear, and it was obviously a person's voice, but it caused a very noisy feeling.When Xin Li was taken aback, a group of young girls came in, surrounded by a middle-aged woman full of jewels and emerald clothes.As soon as the woman came in, she pointed at Xin Li and said, "I said young man, how can you compete with our Manchester City? Our Manchester City is very unhappy, don't make Manchester City unhappy, Manchester City is a top figure in our capital."

The girls supported the middle-aged woman to sit down.Xin Li froze on the spot, then slowly remembered Mr. Gu, and said, "Ma'am, are you Gu Mancheng's mother?"

Mrs. Gu said: "Even if you have eyesight, our Manchester City is so handsome, it's all because of my beautiful mother!"

Xin Li shook his hair, really not knowing what to say.

Mrs. Gu said: "Young man, take a look at your scar. You are too careless. It must be an injury from playing around. It seems that you didn't know how to take care of yourself since you were a child. How can you marry a wife like this? You put Miss Cheng How can you marry her and take care of her like this?"

Xin Li was dumbfounded.

Mrs. Gu continued: "I heard that you are a killer. That's against the law. You marry Miss Cheng home, how can you support him? Kill someone today, in exchange for food and drink, it's all blood , how can Miss Cheng eat it?"

Xin Li's head began to hum.

Mrs. Gu still didn't stop: "You kill people today, and people kill you tomorrow. Miss Cheng will become a widow sooner or later. How can you treat a beautiful girl like this?"

Xin Li felt that ten thousand flies were flying.

Mrs. Gu's voice was full of provocative power: "Young man, don't do this business soon. Our Gu family has thousands of hectares of fertile land and more than ten shops. If you want to plow, I will give you a field. If you want to do business, I will give you a room." Shop. Young man, there is a Tao that means that the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and when you turn back to the shore, you can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately..."

Just as he was talking, everyone's eyes blurred, and a brown figure went out.Mrs. Gu shouted to the shadow: "Young man, don't run away, hand over the hydrangea, let me tell you the truth of being a human again..."

Lao Zhou thought to himself: Sure enough, a 40-year-old woman is as fierce as a tiger.Can Xin Li, Miss Cheng's hydrangea, be held firmly in her hand?Take care of him, as long as he continues to live in the store, he won't have to worry about the store's business being bad.Thinking of this, Lao Zhou hurriedly poured tea for Mrs. Gu...
