There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 424 Performance (Part [-])
Lu You had a headache for a while.

……

Ruyi Inn, among the many inns in Yuezhou City, belongs to the upper-middle class.

There are not many rooms in the inn, but each room is elegantly furnished, and it is close to the teahouse and quyi workshop, and across the street, there is the Yamen of the prefect of Yuezhou. Therefore, the business of this inn is not bad.

It is often full of passing guests.

In the past few days, the temperature has dropped sharply and there are not many people traveling. Only less than 22% of the [-] rooms in the inn are occupied.

Most of them are empty.

The shopkeeper and Xiaoer had nothing to do, and when they were chatting around the stove, three businessmen who spoke Lin'an official dialect came.

Of these three, one was riding a tall and sturdy horse.

The other two were sitting in an ordinary but large carriage. Although there were only three of them, they had quite a lot of luggage, including eight large boxes.

The three asked for two upper rooms, and what they wanted were the two upper rooms at the end of the second floor.

After staying, they gave large silver ingots and ordered the most expensive dishes.

But this is an inn, how can the food compare to a tavern that specializes in wine and meat?
After two meals, the three of them were dissatisfied with the cook at the inn.

Even so, they were not seen moving away. The youngest of the three, a man in Tsing Yi, asked the shopkeeper where there was a tavern with a good taste.

The shopkeeper of the inn gave several addresses.

The man in Tsing Yi asked the shopkeeper to write down the address, put it in his arms, and went upstairs.

Early this morning, the three of them went out again.

The shopkeeper and the staff all rolled up their sleeves and warmed themselves by the fire, talking about the origins of these three people.

"Based on my many years of experience in seeing people, these three people don't look like businessmen." The middle-aged shopkeeper squinted his eyes and said while pinching the tip of his beard.

The accountant stopped his calculations, looked at the shopkeeper, and said, "Yes, I think so too. How can there be such a big spender? It looks like a member from Lin'an City, who came to play."

"But it's so cold, what's the fun?" The shopkeeper couldn't figure it out.

The little guy smiled and said, "I'll go and have a look quietly?"

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and patted his head, "You're looking for death, don't care what they are here for, as long as the rent is not bad!"

The boy stuck out his tongue | head, "Yes! I dare not."

Among the three, the oldest one not only gave the house money, but also asked a follower to give him a reward. The young man didn't want to offend these three.

This is a rich patron!

The carriage left the Ruyi Inn, walked slowly on the street, and finally stopped opposite a shop called Chengxin Medical Clinic.

The driver was a medium-sized man in a black robe, not very old, about 25 or [-] years old.

Seeing him with piercing eyes, like a martial artist, Hu Zi, the bartender, looked at them curiously.

I wanted to go forward to greet him, but I was a little timid.

After the man in black robe parked the carriage, he turned his head and said to the carriage, "Master, we're here."

The youngest man opened the curtain to look outside, and said in a soft voice, "So it's this place. The innkeeper said the drinks here are good, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Go in and try it and you'll know?" said the older man in the carriage.

This man was about 50 years old, with a thin body, a knife-sharp nose, and sharp eyes. The half-worn mink fur coat hung on him, which looked too wide and shapeless.

"Yes, Master."

"There are guests coming, why don't you hurry up to greet them?" The shopkeeper of the tavern pushed Huzi, the little boy.

Huzi came back to his senses, and immediately walked towards the carriage with a smile on his face, "Guest, it's cold outside, why don't you go inside and have a drink by the fire? The drinks in our tavern are famous far and wide."

The man in Tsing Yi who supported the middle-aged man said lightly, "Lead the way."

Hu Zi was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

He raised the windshield curtain on the door of the tavern, and welcomed the master and servant inside.The young man in black parked the carriage and followed him into the tavern.

The tavern was clean and spacious, with stoves placed in the corners, thick cotton curtains to block the cold wind outside, and the stove was lit inside the room, making it warm.

In the main hall on the first floor, there are about ten tables.

Because it was only early in the morning, there were only three tables with people sitting, and eight diners were eating noodle soup and talking quietly.

No one paid attention to the door, and three more guests walked in.

The pub has a nice atmosphere.

The elder master glanced around coldly and nodded.

The younger man in Tsing Yi asked the shopkeeper, "Is there a separate private room?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said with a smile, "Some are upstairs. There are six elegant rooms upstairs. They are quiet and elegant. Come with me."

The three of them followed the shopkeeper to the second floor, and finally, they chose a room at the end.

"Choose some breakfast dishes, bring them up." The man in Tsing Yi said in a soft voice, "Our master didn't eat breakfast, so pick some delicious and light dishes."

"Understood, wait a moment, the food will be served soon." The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, and went to the kitchen on the first floor to give orders.

The three of them seemed to be wealthy owners, and they were picky. The shopkeeper said to everyone, "Everyone is careful."

Huzi is just a boy in the waiter, the important guest in the tavern, he never gets his turn, the important guest is served by another person, that is the nephew of the shopkeeper, he is older than Huzi, he can talk, and he can serve the dishes well secure.

The ten-year-old Huzi was rough, and the shopkeeper only let him wait on the first floor, and the diners who ate on the first floor were relatively reluctant to spend money.

There were only three tables on the first floor, and two tables left after they had finished their meals. The remaining table was just an old man eating small dishes and drinking wine.

Hu Zi is even more idle.

The shopkeeper drove him outside to clear the snow and remove the ice.

Huzi pursed his lips and swept the floor reluctantly.

On the opposite side of the medical hall, Li Jiaoniang came back in a carriage, and Hu Zi thought about whether he should go to the medical hall to play with Zhao Cong.

He looked back into the tavern, and the shopkeeper was talking to the accountant.

Huzi finished sweeping the snow in front of the door three times, threw away the broom, and ran into the hospital.

Li Jiaoniang walked into the main hall of the medical center, she didn't even bother to drink water, she hurriedly asked Chun Ya who was cutting the pills, "Chun Ya, where is brother Luo Cheng?"

"Oh, Brother Luo Cheng took Cong'er out." Chun Ya said, "Hey, sister Jiao Niang, what's the matter? You seem to be in a hurry."

Li Jiaoniang said in her heart, can you not be in a hurry?Something big happened!
"Where did they go? How long did they go? When will they come back?" Li Jiaoniang asked hastily.

"It's been a while,... I don't know where they went, they didn't say anything." Chun Ya blinked, "Jiaoniang, what's the matter? What happened?"

Li Jiaoniang pursed her lower lip, "I'll go find them."

However, just as she turned around, there was the snoring of horses and Zhao Cong's voice from the backyard.

"Ah, aren't you coming back now?" Chunya said with a smile.

Li Jiaoniang quickly walked to the backyard.

The father and son were tying the horse to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

"Brother Luo Cheng, Cong'er, there is something urgent! Let's talk upstairs." Li Jiaoniang said hastily.

"Mother, are you back?" Zhao Cong called to her happily.

Li Jiaoniang was not happy, the real father of this son came, but his situation did not improve much, what should we do?
"What's the matter, why do you have such a bitter face?" Luo Cheng walked towards Li Jiaoniang and asked doubtfully.

"The host can talk." Li Jiaoniang secretly sighed, turned around and walked upstairs first.

"Father, what's the matter, mother?" Zhao Cong could also see that there was something wrong with Li Jiaoniang's expression.

Luo Cheng didn't know what happened, "I came back with you, you didn't know, how could I know?" He patted his "son" on the head, "Let's go upstairs and talk."

"Oh."

The father and son went upstairs.

Li Jiaoniang stood waiting at the door of Zhao Cong's bedroom. Seeing them coming, she pushed open the door and walked in.

Luo Cheng and Zhao Cong also walked in.

"What's the matter? See how nervous you are." Luo Cheng asked suspiciously.

This was the first time he saw Li Jiaoniang nervous, she was always fearless.

Li Jiaoniang glanced at Zhao Cong, and said, "I went to Lu's house just now, and my third cousin told me that the official family came to Yuezhou City yesterday morning, and they came here in plain clothes."

Luo Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Jiaoniang, "Is the news wrong?"

"Brother Luo Cheng, look at my expression, do I seem to be a careless person?" Li Jiaoniang glanced at Zhao Cong, found a chair and sat down, "Third Cousin looks serious, it doesn't look like a fake."

Luo Cheng sat down next to her, "Don't worry, he will come to him, we will live our lives."

Li Jiaoniang shook her head, "I'm worried, things are not that simple, he came here with a purpose."

Luo Cheng looked solemn, "Are you worried, he came here specially for Cong'er?"

"Well, I'm sure it is like this." Li Jiaoniang said.
