After practicing in Sandao Inn for a day and a half, Xiaochen sat in the lobby of the inn. People were coming and going outside, including many disciples of the sects in uniform. They were always coming and going in a hurry and did not notice this slightly shabby inn. .
Most of the people entering and leaving the Sandao Inn were casual cultivators in different costumes.
"I just saw a disciple wearing Wuqingruya's blue Taoist uniform walking past. I don't know how many familiar people came this time."
While Xiaochen was thinking, Ling'er was playing with the tea art with a teapot.
Put the tea in boiling water, cover the tea lid, wait until the white smoke is billowing, and the fragrance of tea overflows, then gently lift the handle of the teapot spoon, and the tea that is as transparent as spring water is poured out. Hold the teacup and turn the teacup around. Warm it up, then discard the first tea, and the tea you pour afterwards will be more fragrant and no longer have the astringent bitter taste.
Picking up the teacup and smelling the fresh aroma of tea, Xiaochen also tasted it. It was fresh and elegant, as refreshing as the mountain clouds, and it was indeed good.
Ling'er happily introduced: "Sir, this is mountain green pine tea mixed with pine trees. It is picked when the rosin is most abundant every year. It is baked and rolled with the rosin. In addition to the aroma of tea, it also carries pine leaves. That refreshing fragrance.”
After hearing this, Xiaochen looked at her and nodded in agreement.
"What kind of tea? It smells so good! Brother Xiao, can you give me a cup to try?" Xiugao walked into the Sandao Inn with a hearty smile. He smelled the aroma of tea as soon as he entered, and he couldn't help but be curious.
Xiaochen smiled faintly when he saw Xiugao and said, "Brother Xiu, just do what you want. This tea is really good."
"Hahaha, really? Then I want to drink even more." Xiugao sat on the chair and picked up the tea cup. Seeing the extraordinary decorative gold wire and patterns on it, a look of greed flashed across his face.
After Gululu drank it quickly, Xiugao wiped his mouth and praised: "This tea is really good!"
Ling'er, on the other hand, saw this and drank another glass. Her face was reserved, she didn't say much, and she looked very well-behaved.
"Brother Xiu, do you know if there will be any progress during this trip?" Xiao Chen asked with a little uneasiness, and his face was also quite uneasy.
Xiugao glanced at Ling'er again, took the tea cup again, and said, "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I'll go out and persuade you, it's guaranteed!"
"I'm really sorry for bothering you, Brother Xiu, waiter, the food we ordered before is ready to be served!" Xiao Chen cupped his hands, and then shouted to the kitchen.
After hearing this, the child immediately shouted: "Okay, guest!"
Xiugao was a little surprised when he saw this. Seeing all the exquisite delicacies being brought to the table, he quickly said: "How can I let Brother Xiao spend so much money?"
"Alas! Brother Xiu has worked so hard. It's only right that I reward Brother Xiu with a meal. Come on, let's eat the food. The food is a little cold because we are waiting for Brother Xiu." Xiaochen waved his hands and didn't care at all.
Seeing this, Xiugao also had an appetite and started eating with a smile. When asked if he wanted wine, he waved his hand and said he would not drink if he had something to do later.
Xiaochen nodded in agreement.
The two of them laughed and finished the food on the table, and Xiu Gaocai said: "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I will protect you from now on. If anyone bothers you blindly, I will chop him down for you!"
"Yeah." Xiaochen responded.
After a while, Xiugao was also a little full. He touched his stomach and stood up and said: "Brother Xiao, the boss said that around 8 o'clock in the evening of June 12, everyone will get together at the Hu Lai Night Stall. We know each other. Brother Xiao Remember, the boss doesn’t like people who are not punctual.”
Xiaochen said with gratitude: "I took note of it."
Xiugao glanced at Xiaochen with a smile one last time, then turned around and left, stretching.
"This kid is quite good, but it's a pity that he's a little reluctant to do it..." After going out, Xiu Gao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly.
Xiaochen watched him leave calmly, and got up with some thoughts. He still had some time in the afternoon, which was good for practicing.
After stepping into the room and opening the Tianji Daoyin Formation, Ling'er relaxed and took out the tea cup with disgust, rinsing it with water.
"It's so dirty, it's so dirty..."
Xiaochen added more than ten low-grade spiritual stones to the formation and said, "Don't neglect your spell practice."
"I know." Ling'er responded enthusiastically when she heard this. She didn't know why, but she was very happy when learning these two spells. She always had endless energy and didn't feel tired.
After two days, she has become somewhat familiar, but she still cannot control the distance well and deviations always occur.
"Shadow Sneaking!" Ling'er instantly moved to the shadow beside the bed and watched Xiaochen practice from behind. Then she smiled and sneaked under his shadow again. With one move, she returned to the original place.
"Ghost hands!"
Ling'er picked up the three stones placed in front of Xiaochen. There was no problem at close range, but once the distance was far away, her ghost hands would go wrong.
During this kind of purification, the afternoon passed quickly.
Xiaochen opened his eyes, took off the stone on his shoulder, and said calmly, "Let's go, it's time to go to Yuelangqiao Restaurant."
Ling'er lowered her head. Seeing that she was not blamed for her prank, she smiled and responded, "Okay! Feast!"
Skipping along beside Xiaochen, Ling'er looked at Xiaochen's hand at her side, her eyes hesitant, she looked away, and her little hand slowly reached over.
Xiaochen suddenly took a few quick steps and staggered away. Ling'er had no choice but to stomp her feet and quickly keep up without making any more small moves.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Yuelangqiao Restaurant, Xiao Tao walked over with a smile and said, "Good evening, Mr. Xiao, please!"
Xiaochen nodded slightly and followed.
Xiaotao put her hands in front of her and introduced as she walked: "The most famous thing about this restaurant is the crescent moon building embedded in the restaurant. There is only one room in it. From inside, you can overlook the boundless sea and the wonders of the moon cave. The clouds and mist were passing close to the floor in the room, and the star lamp was placed above the head. It can be said that the lady has put a lot of effort into preparing for the arrival of her husband."
"Wow, a star-shaped lamp!" Ling'er looked at the lamp above her head with starry eyes as if she had never seen the world before.
Xiao Tao smiled slightly when she saw this. This reaction was normal, but when she looked at Xiao Chen's calm face, she also had a strange look. Xiao Chen's pupils were as calm and deep as the boundless abyss, without any fluctuations.
"I did take the trouble." Xiaochen said with a smile.
Xiao Tao suddenly came to her senses after hearing this, and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment and continued to lead the way.
After passing several passages and bridges made of stone stairs, a half-exposed room came into view.
As soon as he entered, Ouyang Jinse said: "Mr. Xiao, you are such a rare visitor. I'm afraid it will take eight sedans to invite you next time!"
"Miss Ouyang is joking." Xiaochen said facing the sly gaze.
After hearing this, Ouyang Jinse smiled at the corner of his mouth and said to the figure outside the curtain: "Yan'er, Mr. Xiao, whom you have been thinking about so much, is here, and he hasn't come to pick up the guests yet!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Yan'er opened the gauze curtain and said shyly, covering her face. Then her eyes swept over Xiaochen, and she also condensed, thinking in her heart: Mr. Xiao is indeed handsome, and it is unimaginable that he is also full of talent.
Ling'er and Yan'er also looked at each other, and then they glanced from head to chest, and Yan'er chuckled and glanced across the line of sight.
"How...how can you have such a body proportion? It's unreasonable, unreasonable..." Ling'er looked blankly at Yan'er's towering peaks and slim waist, and her face was stunned for a long time. This Yan'er looked even more charming and beautiful when she looked up close.
Yan'er lowered his waist and saluted, "Yan'er has met Mr. Xiao."
"Miss Yan'er, there's no need to be polite!" Xiaochen said quickly, his eyes sweeping over the two of them calmly without any fluctuation.
Except for the delicately made-up Yan'er in front of her, Ouyang Jinse also took off her veil at this time, and she was looking at the two of them with playful eyes.
"Miss Ouyang, we meet again!" Xiaochen said.
"Okay, okay, stop saluting and come and sit down. The night is just right tonight and the moon is out." Ouyang Jinse said with a hint of amusement.
After hearing this, several people quickly sat down. There was no particularity in sitting down. The square table in front of them was not big, just enough for four people to sit down.
Ouyang Jinse unexpectedly looked at Ling'er who was sitting on the chair very naturally, and then looked at Xiaochen who was calm and felt amused.
He quickly said: "Mr. Xiao, won't you introduce that girl to us?"
Xiaochen just reacted and said: "Her name is Ling'er, my... one..."
Speaking of this, Xiaochen also had a headache. Maybe she was a maid, but she didn't understand etiquette. Maybe she wasn't, and she didn't know how to tell her.
Yan'er and Ouyang Jinse smiled softly after hearing this. Ouyang Jinse said: "No need, we understand! We understand!"
"Hahaha." Yan'er also covered her mouth and smiled.
Ling'er looked confused. She looked at the roast chicken on the table and was thinking about the deliciousness of this food, but the atmosphere at the scene also made her react.
She hurriedly said: "My name is Ling'er, and I am the young master's maid."
After saying this, she realized that she seemed to be sitting on the guest's seat, which was not in line with etiquette. Just as she was about to get up, Yan'er said: "Sister Ling'er, just sit down. There is no such alienation today, everyone is treated as a peer." As for that."
After hearing this, Ling'er looked at Xiaochen uneasily, and then breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him nodding slightly.
"What Miss Yan'er said is, come and let me toast you!" Xiaochen picked up the wine glass and said.
Seeing this, Yan'er also raised her jade hand. After the two clinked glasses, the atmosphere gradually relaxed, and the awkward and unfamiliar atmosphere also dissipated.
"Hey, hey! Sir, I got to know you first. How can you respect her first?" Ouyang Jinse picked up the wine glass and muttered.
Xiaochen had no choice but to fill up his glass again and toast again, so as not to favor one over another.
"Here, let me offer a toast to sister Ling'er!" Yan'er glanced at Ling'er who was a little at a loss, raised her hand and said softly.
Ling'er relaxed a lot now, but she still seemed a little embarrassed, as if she was very uncomfortable with this scene.
After drinking a glass, her face turned rosy. Xiaochen glanced at her and said secretly: "This girl, why can't she even turn spiritual energy into wine? If she drinks like this, she will pour it out within three glasses."
"I wonder what talents Miss Ouyang wants to show when she invites me here." Xiao Chen raised the topic.
After hearing this, Ouyang Jinse also put down the wine glass in his hand, glanced at Yan'er and said, "You have to ask Yan'er. She has been preparing for this moment for a long time, for fear of neglecting her husband."
Yan'er smiled and said, "The slave family was deeply disturbed by the praise of Sir's poems, so they carefully prepared a piece of music, hoping that Sir would appreciate it."
At this time, Ouyang Jinse interrupted: "But, the time has not come yet, let's eat delicious food first!"
Ling'er looked at the few people in confusion. Their words seemed to be a riddle, why she couldn't understand the combination.
At this time, Ouyang Jinse read out the poem and then commented: "This Yunjian Qin music is truly a masterpiece!"
After hearing this, Ling'er was extremely shocked and then turned to look at Xiaochen who was calm and composed, and thought: "Isn't this poem written by Yun Qin? What does it have to do with the young master?"
When Xiao Chen noticed her gaze, he said, "Miss Ouyang is too complimentary. This poem was originally given to you. Now it's great that Miss Yan'er can escape from the world."
Hearing this, Ling'er reacted, and immediately looked at Xiaochen with half-squinted eyes, curled up the corners of her mouth, and thought to herself: "Broken Stone didn't even say this to me... I was watching my jokes in the inn before. ..."
Yan'er glanced at Ouyang Jinse strangely, escaping from the brothel? This poem just helped her win the first prize, not because of that.
After thinking for a moment, she continued to pour the wine and said, "Sir, you have done so much for the slave family, so I should give you another toast!"
"Okay!" After hearing this, Xiaochen had another drink with her.
