Chapter 1593 (1/2)
”Boom -”
at dusk, bursts of dull thunder come from the sky. During the flash of electric light, the rainstorm ”clatters” down, and the bean sized raindrops ”crackle” on the trees, roads and houses on the roadside
The dense rain curtain turned the surrounding area into a vast ocean, and the road was muddy.
In a small inn on the roadside, many guests were sitting in the lobby on the first floor, either to shelter from the rain or to sleep in.
Outside the house, the thunder roared incessantly. Suddenly, it was mingled with the sound of horse's hooves and wheels. It was getting closer and closer. In a short time, a green covered carriage came galloping in the rainstorm and stopped outside the inn.
The tall and thin man put on his coir raincoat and hat, and hurried out to greet him, ”my guest, do you want to stay in? There are just a few rooms in our shop! ”
”My husband and wife are going to stay in...”
”Rumble -”
there was another thunderclap, which almost silenced the outside voice. The guests sitting in the lobby directly drank tea, had dinner and talked.
In a moment, I saw a couple of young couples who seemed to be twenty-five or six years old. Both of them were dressed in purple. The women were elegant and the men were beautiful and straight. All of a sudden, they attracted everyone's attention. They couldn't help but exclaim:
what a perfect couple!
At this time, a silver lightning burst out in the dark sky outside, making the hall bright. The white light of the lightning made the two men's skin better than snow. Especially the purple robed man, who was more beautiful than a woman, had a pair of peach blossom eyes that were more bright than a star. He was not as handsome as an ordinary man.
If it wasn't for the wilderness, it would almost make people think that it was the fox spirits who turned into human beings and came to the world to bewitch all living beings.
The man in the purple robe took a piece of water-green PA and carefully wiped off the raindrops that hardly existed on the woman's shoulder. He asked with a smile, ”ah Yue, are you hungry?”
Nangong Yue smiles and says, ”Yi, it's almost time for dinner. Let's use some things first and then go upstairs.”
”Two guests, this way, please.” The little two politely beckoned them to the table by the window and sat down, ”what do you want, my guest? We have many good dishes in our shop, such as spring bamboo shoots, mushroom and chicken soup, thousand pieces of meat, steamed perch, red bean cake, spring onion flavored rolls... ” The second one introduced it in a flow of words.
Xiao Yi ordered a pot of Pu'er tea at random, and asked the second to serve six or seven good dishes, and he left happily.
”Cough, cough...”
On the right side of the table came a woman's mild cough. Nangong Yue followed the reputation and saw a couple of couples sitting at the table a few steps away, looking at the appearance in their early thirties.
The coughing woman was wearing a grape colored Ruyi pattern flower stick, a thick green silk tied into a crescent bun, and an eight treasure holding pearl flying swallow hairpin was inserted. At the moment, she was holding a veil to cover her mouth and coughing gently.
”Ming'er, you just caught cold in the rain?” The man beside the woman looked at him with concern. He was wearing a blue cloud brocade robe with a belt inlaid with sapphire on his waist.
”Master, I'm fine, but my throat is itchy for a moment.” Women are humane.
”Minger, I think it's raining heavily. It can't stop for a while. Why don't we stay here for one night and go back tomorrow morning? You should rest early tonight The man in blue said softly.
The woman soon stopped coughing and answered.
Then, the blue robed man called the tall and thin waiter to come over and asked for an upper room. Then he ordered the servant girl in green to say, ”Xia Lian, go to the carriage and get the lady's clothes.”
”Yes, sir.” The maid in green quickly put on the heavy coir raincoat and went out.
”Master Ding, madam Ding, this way, please!”
The little two led the couple up the stairs, and the sound of their footsteps gradually faded away
”The relationship between master Ding and Mrs. Ding is very good.” In the corner of the lobby, a middle-aged woman in a blue dress and a round figure said with emotion. With envious eyes, she took back from the direction of the stairs, and looked at Xiao Yi and nangongyue. When her eyes moved to the grey man with a scuffed beard beside her, there was nothing left but dislike.
She pushed the big man in gray and complained, ”my father, I'm also in the rain. Why didn't you ask me a question?”
The big man who was drinking was not on guard. He was pushed to drink half a cup. He looked at the liquor spilled on the table innocently and painfully.
At this time, another stout young man came quickly with some dishes in his hand, and gave Xiao Yi and nangongyue hot tea and snacks on the table, but he refuted the woman in green with meaning: ”elder sister, some things can't be seen on the surface.”
The woman in green suddenly brightened her eyes and inquired curiously: ”little second brother, do you know something inside? Tell us about it. ”
Several other guests also looked at the fat boy curiously, and an old man with gray hair urged him: ”second brother, don't play tricks, but say ah!”
After serving Xiao Yi and nangongyue with the last plate of snacks, the fat boy took a few steps in the direction of the woman in green, took a look in the direction of the stairs, and said in a low voice, ”master Ding and Mrs. Ding are rich gentry in the Dingjia village next door. The master Ding didn't originally have a surname of Ding...”When the fat boy mentioned this, the man in gray suddenly realized and said, ”is that master Ding who broke in backwards?” There was more disdain in the words.
This man has a lot of hands and feet, so he has to do something else and eat a soft meal. Naturally, his character is not good!
Many people despised their sons-in-law. For example, in the Central Plains of Dayu, there was a law hundreds of years ago that stipulated that he could not be an official.
”It's a couple's life, whether it's a wife or a burden. As long as you live a good life, what does it matter? ” The woman in green didn't think so. She looked at Nangong Yue and said to her, ”this sister, do you think so?”
Nangong Yue was surprised and surprised. He subconsciously took a look at Xiao Yi. What he thought in his heart was that she did not dare to let the Grand Prince of Dayue get involved!
Xiao Yina is a bug in nangongyue's stomach. When you look at his princess's eyes and face, you can see what she is thinking.
He raised his eyebrows and laughed. There was a mischievous look in his bright dimple. He crossed the table with one hand and pulled a plain hand of Nangong Yue. He said affectionately, ”ah Yue, for you, even if my father-in-law and mother-in-law let me in, I would like to.” ”In fact,” he said, ”nangongyi” is also very nice to hear
Outside the inn, Zhou Dacheng had just settled their carriage. He had intended to come in, but he heard such a sentence just outside the threshold. He could not help but stop thinking that he had heard something he should not have heard.
He thought about it, but he retreated in silence. He'd better feed the horses first.
