Watching the three of them from afar
Before the sky turned dark, they finally arrived at the inn outside Shanhuai County.
The independent inn stood tall and did not look luxurious, but to have such an inn in the middle of the forest was the most extravagant of extravagances!
Mo Ruo was the first to get off the carriage. His mind was much clearer now, and he quickly entered the inn. The moment he stepped through the door, he called out to the waiter.
"Quick, quick, bring us a few pots of Nu 'er Hong."
The waiter hurried to greet him and wiped the table with a towel. "Yes sir, please wait for a moment, it will be served immediately!"
The innkeeper was fiddling with his abacus behind the counter, his fingers moving back and forth.
Very slippery!
Very nimble!
Hearing the commotion, his greedy eyes looked outside and saw a group of people dressed in luxurious brocade clothing. Especially the carriage in front. Although it looked simple, the materials used were extraordinary!
Just the curtain cloth alone was a top-notch brocade!
What else could it be if not a wealthy family?!
The shopkeeper's eyes immediately reflected a bright golden light. He threw away the abacus that he had yet to finish calculating, lifted his robe, bent his waist, and walked around the counter in front of him with a smile. Then, he eagerly walked up to the people outside.
He enthusiastically said, "Oh my, are you gentlemen looking for a place to stay? Our inn has been around for many years. Merchants, examinees, children of noble families … have all stayed here. This inn has the best rooms, the best food, and the best wine. It is definitely the best inn in the surrounding ten li. Sirs, you have come to the right place. Quick, quick, this way please. "
'What a smooth way to say it!
I can't help but be impressed! '
He ordered his subordinates to pull the carriage to the back of the inn to feed the horses while he waited for Ji Yunshu to get off the carriage.
The innkeeper stood to the side, rubbing his hands as he fantasized about making a killing.
Ji Wanxin was the first to get off the carriage, followed by Ji Yunshu and Wei Yi.
Wei Yi was still hugging Ji Yunshu's arm with all his might.
He had a 'I'm going to tangle with you' look on his face.
Aunty Xie also alighted from the last carriage. She had probably never sat in a carriage for such a long time before and felt uncomfortable the moment she got off.
Ji Wanxin hurried over. "Aunty Xie, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"Let's go in quickly. You should also rest well."
"Yes."
Aunty Xie was listless.
Jing Rong didn't say anything, but he secretly glanced at Ji Yunshu and Wei Yi before leading the others inside.
The innkeeper was still chattering on the side, introducing his inn to them!
It was a delightful conversation!
Aunty Xie went upstairs to rest while the others sat on the first floor.
The entire inn was deserted. There were basically no customers in sight.
Mo Ruo sat alone at a table, holding a wine pot in his hand, drinking to his heart's content.
Jing Rong, Ji Yunshu, Wei Yi, and Ji Wanxin sat at a table.
Soon, the dishes were served.
In the forest, there was everything. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, everything.
The shopkeeper introduced the dishes one by one to the side.
Wei Yi pointed at a chicken and asked, "What is this?"
The manager replied, "This is a chicken!"
"What chicken?"
"A black-boned chicken!"
"Why is it called a black-boned chicken?" Wei Yi poked it with his chopsticks.
The innkeeper continued, "Because this chicken's body is black."
"Then why is it black?"
"Because it's innate."
"Why is it innate?"
"…"
The innkeeper was speechless. He quickly wiped his sweat with his sleeve and stammered for a long time. He couldn't think of anything to say.
'Is this kid a clown invited by a monkey?'
Today, he finally met someone with a glib tongue. He unexpectedly made himself speechless.
Wei Yi stared at him with a longing expression, waiting for an answer.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but laugh. She tried to smooth things over for the innkeeper. "Wei Yi, this chicken is tanned to look like this."
Pfft!
Jing Rong, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ji Wanxin also laughed, but she only lowered her head and covered her face with her slender fingers.
There was indeed a movement of the beauty, Ruoxi!
Wei Yi seemed to understand Ji Yunshu's answer and nodded. "Oh, I understand. Shu 'er is still the smartest."
Of course, he didn't forget to belittle the innkeeper. "Look at you, so stupid. You don't even know this. Now I know that this chicken is tanned. You must remember not to talk nonsense next time. Otherwise, people will laugh at you."
The innkeeper didn't dare to argue with Wei Yi.
He quickly bowed and nodded. "Yes, yes, yes. Young Master is right."
Wei Yi smiled and began to eat heartily.
Jing Rong also waved his hand at the innkeeper. "You can leave. Send someone to bring food upstairs to the madam."
"Yes, yes, yes."
He quickly left.
Without Wei Yi's incessant chatter, the table became much quieter.
Jing Rong picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Ji Yunshu's bowl. "Eat more. After all, the tanned meat is chewy."
He was clearly teasing her.
Ji Yunshu didn't turn around and picked up a piece of chicken.
Seeing this, Wei Yi also picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Ji Yunshu's bowl. With a boyish smile, he said, "Shu 'er, eat more. Mother said that more exposure to the sun is good for the body. This chicken must be very nutritious."
The corner of Ji Yunshu's mouth twitched. She really shouldn't have lied!
She was really worried that Wei Yi would be too 'poisoned'.
Jing Rong picked up another piece of meat and gave it to Ji Yunshu. Wei Yi continued to pick up more.
Finally, he started again!
Ji Yunshu's bowl was stuffed to the brim in a short time.
Naturally, Ji Wanxin was given the cold shoulder!
Mo Ruo, who was sitting at another table, glanced at them and smiled. He drank a mouthful of wine and picked up a pair of chopsticks, tapping them on the porcelain bowl in front of him.
With an intoxicated expression, he began to recite a poem.
"The moon shines brightly, the water is still water, the wind is still the wind, an inch in the forest, a thousand li in the distance, three people sitting on a banquet, a beauty beside them unknown …"
He was reciting the poem with great satisfaction.
Bystanders might not be able to understand this poem, but those who knew a little would be able to understand it. Mo Ruo was hinting at Wei Yi, Jing Rong, and Ji Yunshu sitting together, while the beauty Ji Wanxin became a bystander.
Soon, the meal was over.
The sky gradually darkened, and everyone was tired.
Thus, they returned to their rooms and found their own beds to sleep.
Because they were worried that Wei Yi would get into trouble in a room alone, the person who accompanied him to sleep became Lang Po.
Perhaps Wei Yi was used to it, but he didn't reject it like last time. Instead, he happily accepted it. He pulled Lang Po into the room and began to talk about his experiences in Yuhua Pavilion.
