"Boom--"
At dusk, bursts of muffled thunder came from the sky. Amidst the flashes of lightning, heavy rain poured down, and the big raindrops "crackled" on the big trees, roads and houses on the roadside. Up...
Dense rain curtains turned the surrounding area into a vast ocean, and the road was muddy.
In a small inn on the roadside, there are many guests sitting in the lobby on the first floor, either to take shelter from the rain or to stay overnight.
Outside the house, thunder continued to roar, and suddenly it was mixed with the sound of horse hooves and wheels, getting closer and closer. After a while, a green-covered carriage was seen speeding through the heavy rain and stopped outside the inn.
The tall and thin waiter put on his raincoat and bamboo hat and hurriedly went out to greet us, "May I ask if you want to stay here? We just have a few rooms left in our store!"
"My young master and his wife want to stay overnight..."
"Rumble, rumble——"
There was another burst of thunder, almost suppressing the sound outside. The guests sitting in the lobby drank tea, ate and talked alone.
After a while, I saw the waiter leading a young couple in their mid-twenties. The couple were both dressed in purple. The woman was beautiful and elegant, and the man was handsome and tall. They attracted everyone at once. People's eyes can't help but admire:
What a perfect match!
At this time, a silver lightning suddenly exploded in the dim sky outside, making the lobby become brighter. The white light of the lightning made the skin of the two people look better than snow, especially the appearance of the woman. An even more beautiful man in purple robe, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that are more dazzling than the stars, and he is so handsome that he is not as handsome as a mortal.
If this place wasn't a wilderness, one would almost think that a vixen had transformed into a human form and came to the world to confuse all living beings.
The man in purple robe held an aqua-green handkerchief, carefully wiped away the almost non-existent raindrops on the woman's shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Ah Yue, are you hungry?"
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and said: "Ayi, it's almost dinner time. Let's use some things first and then go upstairs."
"My two guests, please come here." The thin waiter greeted them cordially to sit down at the table by the window, "I wonder what your guests want to use? We have many special dishes in our store, spring bamboo shoots, mushrooms and chicken soup , Qianzhang Pork, Steamed Sea Bass, Red Bean Cake, Scallion-flavored Flower Rolls..." The waiter introduced them eloquently, his eyes dancing with joy.
Xiao Yi casually ordered a pot of Pu'er tea and asked the waiter to serve six or seven of his specialty dishes. The waiter left with a smile on his face.
"Cough cough cough..."
The woman's suppressed cough came from the table on the right. Nangong Yue looked around and saw a couple sitting at the table a few steps away. They looked like they were in their early thirties.
The coughing woman wore a grape-colored Ruyi-patterned flower gown, with her thick black hair pulled into a crescent moon bun, and an eight-treasure bead flying swallow hairpin. She looked dignified and beautiful. At this moment, she He was holding a piece of handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughing lightly.
"Ming'er, did you catch a cold in the rain just now?" The man next to the woman looked at him with concern. The man was wearing a blue moire brocade robe and a sapphire-embedded belt around his waist. He looked talented. .
"Master, I'm fine, my throat is just itchy for a while," the woman said.
"Ming'er, I think the rain is heavy and won't stop for a while. Why don't we stay here for one night and go back tomorrow morning? You can rest early tonight." The man in blue robe said softly. .
The woman quickly stopped coughing and responded.
Following that, the man in blue robe called the tall and thin waiter over, asked for an upper room, and then ordered the maid in green clothes beside him: "Xia Lian, go and put Madam's clothes in the carriage. Get it."
"Yes, Master." The maid in green hurriedly put on a heavy raincoat and went out.
"Master Ding, Mrs. Ding, please come this way!"
The thin waiter led the couple up the stairs, and their footsteps gradually faded away...
"The relationship between Mr. Ding and Mrs. Ding is really good!" In the corner of the lobby, a middle-aged woman with a round figure wearing a blue dress said with emotion, looking back from the direction of the stairs with envious eyes, and then She looked at Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, and when her eyes moved to the bearded man in gray next to her, she felt only disgust.
She pushed the big man in gray clothes and complained: "Dad, I was also caught in the rain. Why didn't you ask me if I was okay?"
The big man who was drinking was not careful and was pushed so hard that half of the drink spilled. He looked at the spilled wine on the table with an innocent and distressed expression.
At this moment, another short and fat waiter walked over quickly holding several plates, and neatly gave Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue hot tea and snacks on the table, but he retorted meaningfully to the woman in green. Humanity said: "This eldest sister, there are some things that you can't just take at face value."
The woman in green's eyes suddenly lit up, and she inquired curiously: "Brother, do you know something inside? Come and tell us."
Several other guests also looked at the fat waiter curiously, and a gray-haired old man urged: "Second brother, please stop showing off and speak your mind!"
After the fat boy gave Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue the last plate of snacks, he walked a few steps in the direction of the woman in green, glanced towards the stairs, and lowered his voice slightly: "Master Ding Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Ding are wealthy squires from the Ding family village next door. Mr. Ding is not originally named Ding..."
When the fat waiter mentioned this, the big man in gray suddenly understood and blurted out: "Did Mr. Ding barge in on the door upside down?" There was a hint of disdain in his words.
This man has a lot of hands and feet, and he insists on cutting in the door and eating soft food. Naturally, he has a bad character!
People at that time looked down upon bridal sons-in-law. For example, in the Central Plains of Dayu, hundreds of years ago, there was a law that stipulated that bridal sons-in-law were not allowed to enter the court and serve as officials.
"Whether it's marrying a wife or getting married, it's just a couple living together. As long as they live a good life, it doesn't matter!" The woman in Tsing Yi didn't think so. As she spoke, she looked at Nangong Yue and talked to her He asked, "This girl, do you think she is?"
Nangong Yue was unexpectedly spoken to, and was startled. She glanced at Xiao Yi subconsciously, but what she was thinking was that she did not dare to marry the dignified prince of Dayue!
Xiao Yi is the worm in Nangong Yue's belly. One look at his princess's eyes and face, and he knows what she is thinking.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a hint of mischief in his bright smile. He crossed the table and took Nangong Yue's bare hand, and said affectionately: "Ah Yue, for you, I will become my father-in-law." My mother-in-law asked me to marry into my wife, and I am willing to do so." As he said this, he became more enthusiastic, "Actually, 'Nangong Yi' sounds pretty good too!"
Outside the inn, Zhou Dacheng had just settled their carriage. He originally planned to come in, but he heard such a sentence just outside the threshold. He couldn't help but stop, feeling that he had heard something he shouldn't have heard.
He thought for a while and then retreated silently. He'd better go feed the horse for a while first.
The corners of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched, knowing that Xiao Yi was in high spirits, so she didn't answer. However, the woman in green was quite moved when she heard this. She pushed her man roughly and drank the remaining half glass of wine. Another half was spilled.
"Look at me!" the woman in green said angrily, and pinched the man in displeasure, thinking: How could I be so stupid as to pick such a lump on an elm tree!
The big man in gray saw that there was less than a third of the drink left in the glass, feeling heartbroken and said angrily: "They are just joking! You should take it seriously! Ask him if he is willing to give it to him Daughter getting married?!"
The big man in gray clothes snorted coldly and glanced at Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue. Looking at the demeanor of the couple, they were from a wealthy family. If it weren't for the fact that there was no male in the family to continue the family relationship, who would be willing to recruit a wife! What kind of good man can you recruit? !
Finding a wife for your daughter? ! Xiao Yi couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he looked at Nangong Yue with piercing eyes, and said excitedly: "Ah Yue, let's find a wife for our daughter in the future!" If his future son-in-law really loves their daughter, he should naturally be willing to marry him!
Nangong Yue became increasingly speechless and wanted to remind Xiao Yi that they only had two sons and no daughters!
"Ayi..."
Before Nangong Yue finished speaking, the atmosphere around her suddenly became a little strange. Several guests were looking in the same direction - the direction of the stairs.
Nangong Yue also followed the gazes of those people and saw a man in blue robes with good features standing in the middle of the stairs. It was Mr. Ding who was getting married.
Master Ding stood on the stairs and looked down at everyone, with a faint smile on his lips and deep and quiet eyes.
The woman in green and the others couldn't help but look away stiffly. They were caught talking about people behind their backs and were caught by the person involved. That was extremely embarrassing. Those people were either drinking, eating vegetables, or pretending to be talking to friends as if nothing had happened.
As for Xiao Yi, he didn't care about Mr. Ding at all. He only thought about his daughter. He gently shook Nangong Yue's hand and asked, "A Yue, what do you think?"
Nangong Yue really didn’t want to continue this topic, so she responded vaguely, thinking: Anyway, they don’t have a daughter!
"Little brother," Mr. Na Ding said nonchalantly, "please ask the kitchen to cook a bowl of hot **** soup for my wife to ward off the cold."
The fat waiter was embarrassed and hurriedly echoed: "Master Ding, please wait a moment, I will ask the cook to cook for you." With that, the fat waiter hurriedly withdrew.
After that, Mr. Ding went upstairs. His footsteps were neither fast nor slow, neither light nor heavy, but they echoed clearly in the ears of the guests, and they all held their breath subconsciously.
After the faint sound of closing the door was heard upstairs, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The big man in gray clothes glared at his mother-in-law and said angrily: "You are such a long-tongued woman, I want you to talk about people's rights and wrongs behind their backs!" He also wasted a glass of good wine!
The woman in green clothes also felt a little guilty. She said a few nice words and ordered the man a pot of wine, which made him smile happily.
After that, there was no more disturbance in the lobby, and the diners all ate their meals separately.
After Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue finished eating, the sky had completely darkened, but the rain showed no sign of letting up. Obviously, there was nothing else to do in this small inn. They all went back to their rooms.
That night, the sound of thunder, rain and lightning continued, almost drowning out the sound of the clock outside.
Nangong Yue was tired from traveling all the way, and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed, falling unconscious...until a scream suddenly sounded outside that almost overturned the roof:
"Ah——"
The hysterical screams were continuous and clearly belonged to women.
Soon, there were several "squeaking" sounds of the door opening coming from outside, and several voices were cursing and saying:
"Who?!"
"This is so disturbing in the middle of the night!"
"Are you still letting people sleep?!"
"..."
But the woman's scream continued without any influence. Nangong Yue's sleepiness disappeared. When she opened her eyes, she found that the place around her was empty. Xiao Yi didn't know where he had gone.
"Ayi..."
Before he finished speaking, a familiar tall figure walked into the inner room. The oil lamp on the bedside gave off a dim light. The man's fair face and slender neck were as delicate as white porcelain, and his appearance became softer and more charming.
Of course it’s Xiao Yi.
"Ayue, get up. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep anymore tonight." Xiao Yi said slowly.
The screams outside finally stopped, and Nangong Yue sat up holding the thin quilt, raising her eyebrows in confusion as a sign of inquiry.
There was no need for Xiao Yi to answer. The sound of someone's footsteps going upstairs was heard outside, followed by the familiar voice of the thin waiter:
"Guests, I'm sorry." The thin waiter's voice stuttered, "Something happened on the second floor..."
"Even if the King of Heaven comes, you still have to give us an explanation today!" I don't know who said angrily.
The thin waiter’s hesitant voice soon sounded again: “The second... the second floor... there are people dead...”
This time, everything became quiet.
"Boom--"
There was another burst of muffled thunder in the sky.
