Chapter seven hundred and eighty first strange woman
Although the decoration of Moling Inn is a bit simple, it is very clean and looks good overall, giving people a warm feeling of going home.
The inn was empty except for an old man sitting behind the counter who was reading a book. When he saw Zhou Sen and Lu Axe walking in, he immediately stood up to greet them.
"Axe, what are you doing here on the first day of the Lunar New Year... Hey, who is this little brother? He looks familiar!" The old man wore reading glasses and looked at Zhou Sen up and down.
"Uncle Shen, this is Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen, this is Uncle Shen!"
"Uncle Shen." Zhou Sen bowed politely. From the old man's last name, we knew that he should be a direct relative of the Shen family.
"Ah...it's Xiao Zhou, it's Xiao Zhou...sit down...our Shen family is grateful to you this time...come on...I, Zhao Shang, will pour you some tea...Goudan, Goudan, hurry up
Get up, hurry up, don’t sleep, a distinguished guest is coming, get the tea eggs quickly, and be quick with your hands and feet..."
The old man yelled a few times, and immediately heard a loud "crackling" sound of getting up, and then saw a boy rushing out with his pants in hand, nodding and bowing to the old man, and asking for a red envelope.
He rushed into the kitchen again.
"It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, take it."
Uncle Shen took out two red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Sen and Lu Shatou. Zhou Sen and Lu Shatou were not polite, took the red envelopes and stuffed them into their pockets. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so taking red envelopes is a matter of course.
Will be condemned by conscience.
Uncle Shen was very enthusiastic towards Zhou Sen. He brought the two of them to the table to chat with each other. After that, the boy named Goudan came over with four bowls of tea eggs. After giving each person a bowl, he also
While talking, he buried himself in the food and began to devour it.
"Have the Master and Madam gone to the East Courtyard?" Uncle Shen asked after being polite.
"...Hmm." Lu Axe swallowed two tea eggs one after another. He was speechless and shook his head.
"Hey... At this time in previous years, the Shen family has already sent people to send red envelopes. It seems that the master and his wife are really tired and have forgotten such important things." Uncle Shen took a sip of tea and sighed.
"Yes." Zhou Sen nodded perfunctorily.
"By the way, why are you here so early?" Uncle Shen asked.
"I...I..." Lu Axe's face turned red, he was hesitant but speechless, and he looked at Zhou Sen with a begging look on his face.
"Do all the girls in the bridge building live here?" Zhou Sen asked directly.
"Zai Zai, I wonder who you are looking for?" Uncle Shen pushed up his glasses, with a look of ambiguity and understanding on his face.
"ax?"
"I'm looking for... looking for... looking for lotus fragrance..."
"Hexiang, she and Miaolan live in the same room, in room 307. I'm afraid they haven't gotten up yet at this time. Well, let's do this. You guys give red eggs. Today, everyone in the first grade of junior high school will have good luck and open the door.
." Uncle Shen pondered for a while and then came up with an idea.
"Thank you, Uncle Shen."
"Goudan, prepare some more tea eggs and give them to the girls so that you can get some red envelopes. If you want 307, let Axe and Xiao Zhou deliver them to you. Hey... Xiao Zhou, room 305 is vacant. Here is the key. Miao.
Lan is very good, a young man, full of life... Hehe..." Uncle Shen recently showed a hint of a lewd smile that was inconsistent with his age, and said meaningfully.
"Thank you, Uncle Shen." Zhou Sen inexplicably felt more close to this wretched old man.
After the three of them chatted for a while, the young man Goudan brought two steaming tea eggs. Zhou Sen and Lu Axe each picked up the tea eggs and went up to the third floor and arrived in front of room 307.
"Zhou Sen... we... let's go back..." Standing at the door of 307, Guo Fu felt guilty and backed down.
"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Zhou Sen encouraged Lu Axe.
"I……"
"Don't go in for a while. It won't be too late for you to go in after I take that Miaolan away."
"Um."
"Dong dong dong..." A rhythmic knock on the door sounded.
"Who is it?" A vague voice sounded inside.
"Giving tea eggs."
"Oh...wait a minute..."
Then, there was a rustling sound of clothes being put on inside, and a few minutes later, the door opened a crack, revealing only one head of a delicate-looking girl.
"Give it to me." The girl didn't look at Zhou Sen. She directly put a red envelope on the tray in Zhou Sen's hand. However, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that there was another person behind Zhou Sen. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Wait a minute. I'll do it again."
I’ll give you a red envelope... Hey, what are you doing here?"
The girl who was about to turn around and seal the red envelope suddenly looked stunned when she saw Zhou Sen actually took a step forward and squeezed half of her body into the room.
"I want to see Miss Hexiang."
"She hasn't gotten up yet."
"I'll wait for her."
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so early in the morning, what are you doing?!" The pretty girl Miaolan got angry.
"Miaolan, what's wrong?" A vague voice sounded in the room.
"Someone is looking for you."
"Well...I want to sleep..."
"Well, you can continue to sleep...it's okay..."
"I'll only say a few words to her."
"No!" Miaolan said firmly.
"I won't leave until you let me say it." Zhou Sen said calmly. At this time, Lu Ax stood behind him with a embarrassed look on his face, rubbing his hands.
"You... get out, you get out... get out... get out..." Miao Lan grabbed Zhou Sen's body with both hands and tried to push Zhou Sen out. Unfortunately, Zhou Sen's body was as motionless as a mountain.
"Give me five minutes." Zhou Sen looked at Miaolan calmly. At this time, he realized that this girl is actually very beautiful. Even without makeup, she is still heart-thumping, especially the angry one.
Sometimes, frowning and pouting has a different flavor.
"It's true that we are prostitutes, but we are also human beings and we also have dignity!" Miao Lan seemed to be afraid of waking up He Xiang, lowering her voice and looking at Zhou Sen solemnly.
"I know, but no matter what, my friend wants to see He Xiang today." Zhou Sen said every word with the same serious expression.
"Aren't you looking for He Xiang?" Miao Lan was stunned.
"My friend." Zhou Sen replied firmly.
"Okay, you go out first, we have to clean up."
"Yeah, five minutes."
"Um."
Zhou Sen withdrew and closed the door.
"Let's go." Miaolan said proudly as soon as the door closed.
"I'll wait for you for five minutes because I respect you before I come out." Zhou Sen said calmly.
"..." There was a silence in the room, "Okay, let's make an agreement first, no violence is allowed, you have to convince He Xiang by yourself."
"Um."
"Zhou Sen, let's go... maybe... maybe... Miss He Xiang has forgotten me a long time ago..." Lu Axe looked nervous.
"We have money." Zhou Sen smiled faintly and patted the purse in his arms.
"oh……"
Five minutes later, the door opened a crack, Miaolan stuck her head out, glanced at Zhou Sen, then at Lu Axe, and said, "We agreed, no violence is allowed."
"Um."
"Come in."
Miao Lan let Zhou Sen in and immediately closed the door.
The guest room is not very big. There is a girl sitting at the table looking out the window. From the back, her long black hair is like a waterfall, giving her a quiet and delicate feeling.
"Hello." He Xiang turned around and looked Zhou Sen up and down.
"I have a friend who is in a bad mood recently. I hope you can accompany him." Zhou Sen said straight to the point. Although this girl is not as beautiful as a fairy, she is dignified and beautiful, and there is a trace of calmness between her eyebrows that is rare in the countryside.
Lu Axe’s vision is pretty good.
"Three thousand imperial coins." He Xiang said lightly.
"Deal." Zhou Sen took out his wallet, counted out three thousand imperial coins and put it on the table.
"..." On this first day of the Lunar New Year, He Xiang didn't want to accept customers at all. Seeing Zhou Sen wearing workers' clothes, he deliberately doubled the price, hoping that Zhou Sen would retreat, but he didn't expect Zhou Sen to think so.
I didn't want to, so I just put the money on the table.
Hexiang looked at Miaolan for help, and secretly regretted it in her heart. She saw that Zhou Sen's wallet had become shriveled. If she had known, if she had shouted more, the other party would have no money.
Miaolan shrugged and made a helpless expression. She had already promised Zhou Sen, so naturally it was not easy for her to interfere in person.
"Okay." He Xiang nodded helplessly.
"Axe, come in." Zhou Sen shouted to the door.
"Oh..." Ax lowered his head and pushed the door in.
"Axe...it's you!" He Xiang suddenly stood up.
"Yes...yes...it's me..." Axe said, not daring to look into Hexiang's eyes.
"Why did you come?" He Xiang looked unkind.
"I...I have no money..."
"It looks like I'm getting rich now!" He Xiang sarcastically said.
"No...no...that's Zhou Sen's money..." Lu Ax glanced at the money on the table and shook it like a rattle.
"Take the money, I don't want to see you." He Xiang glared at Lu Axe.
"..." Lu Shatou hesitated, blushing, walked to the table, put away the imperial coins on the table and walked out.
"You, you..." Seeing that Lu Axe took the money and left without saying a word, He Xiang immediately sat down on the chair with a dejected look on his face.
"Fool, you really left!"
Miao Lan and He Xiang lived together day and night, but could not tell what He Xiang was thinking. She immediately grabbed Lu Sha and pushed Lu Sha in front of He Xiang. Then she pulled Zhou Sen out and closed the door.
"This friend of yours is so stupid!" Miao Lan said with a look of hatred for steel.
Zhou Sen glanced at the ajar door. He had a very strange feeling. He found that Hexiang seemed to really like Lu Axe. This was extremely rare in the land of wind and moon. After all, Lu Axe was poor and useless.
He is also a bit naive and is not liked by women.
Of course, a prostitute would fall in love with a guest for a long time, but according to Axe, he and He Xiang only had a one-sided relationship.
Zhou Sen, who has gone through many vicissitudes of life, does not believe in love at first sight.
"Let's go to room 305." Zhou Sen was stunned for a few seconds, then raised the key in his hand towards Miaolan.
"Do you still have money on you?" Miao Lan had a trace of ridicule on her face.
"I don't mind if you want to stay here and enjoy the breeze."
Zhou Sen said lightly, walked straight to room 305, opened the door and walked in. Miao Lan froze in the deserted corridor for a few seconds, and then followed Zhou Sen into the room.
"Dong dong dong dong..."
As soon as the two entered the room, there was a knock on the door. When they opened the door, they saw the young man named Goudan carrying a heavy charcoal stove with red charcoal fire burning inside. Goudan put the charcoal fire and headed towards it.
Zhou Sen laughed ambiguously "hehe" a few times, turned around and closed the door and went out.
The two of them sat in front of the charcoal stove and said nothing. There was a silence in the room.
There was a long silence.
Miao Lan originally thought that this young man would take advantage of him, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't say a word at all, and didn't even move his eyelids. This left no outlet for the vicious and harsh words that he had prepared, and it was very uncomfortable.
.
Suddenly, Miaolan remembered something.
The dull Lu Shatou said that this young man's name is Zhou Sen.
Zhou Sen.
Zhou Sen.
Such a familiar name...
Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen of the Shen family!
Miaolan's delicate body trembled, and she looked at the taciturn young man in front of her in surprise. She never dreamed that this young man was Zhou Sen, who was as popular as Nie Jiaqiao.
"Are you Zhou Sen from the Shen family?" Miaolan finally couldn't help her strong curiosity and asked.
"Do you know me?" Zhou Sen raised his head and frowned at the rather pleasant woman in front of him.
"In Niejiaqiao, if anyone doesn't know Zhou Sen, they will definitely be laughed at." Miao Lan felt her heart beating fast. When a man has a certain kind of halo, he will always exude an aura of excitement.
Fascinating charm.
"You all know me?"
Zhou Sen's heart sank inexplicably. If it was understandable that Uncle Shen from the Moling Inn knew him, then even a brothel girl had heard of him. This was not good news for Zhou Sen, who was determined to hide his identity.
"Everyone knows that you drove away those mobs, and you are the hero of Niejiaqiao." Miaolan's voice was a little excited. She did not expect to meet the legendary figure so soon.
"Thanks."
Zhou Sen looked at the ice picks hanging from the eaves outside the window, a little absent-mindedly. Miao Lan was greeted and sent off at Fengyue Field. How smart, he immediately felt Zhou Sen's indifference that refused to let people from thousands of miles away, without making a sound, inside the room
Once again fell into silence.
"I'm going to get something." Miaolan suddenly stood up.
"Whatever." Zhou Sen nodded.
Miao Lan bowed to Zhou Sen and walked out of the room. Zhou Sen heard her knocking on the door of room 307, and then there was another sound of thin footsteps.
Miaolan came back holding the guzheng in her hands.
"How's it going over there?" Zhou Sen couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think of them?" Miao Lan looked at Zhou Sen with a strange look and asked, "Do you think that if you help your friends pay, they must have sex? Otherwise, you will lose money?"
"..."
"I know, you must think that prostitutes can also have feelings? Aren't prostitutes just for money? Prostitutes, as long as they have money, anyone from princes to princes to traffickers and lackeys can have sex with them."
"I didn't say."
"You didn't say it, but you thought this way. When you, a grown man, knocked on the door of two big girls' rooms in the early morning of New Year's Day and then forced their way in, you already thought this way. When you put
Three thousand imperial coins are placed on the table, and you have already proven your inner thoughts with actions."
"..." Zhou Sen didn't argue. This kind of argument was meaningless. What's more, this woman hit his mark.
"No need to explain, we are a lowly group of people. Sometimes we look down on ourselves, so how can we ask others to respect us. Today, you are my guest, and you are our Niejiaqiao hero. I must think that Xiao
You won't be surprised by the woman's beauty, so the little girl will not recommend herself to the pillow. However, in order to thank you for saving the lives of Nie Jiaqiao and some of our sisters, the little girl is willing to play a song for you. "
Miao Lan didn't wait for Zhou Sen to speak, walked to the table, laid the guzheng flat, stretched out a pair of slender jade hands, and gently flicked the guzheng. Immediately, a beautiful sound like mountain water flowed through the room.
The exciting melody of the music brings Zhou Sen into a chivalrous world full of adventure.
As the main technique, Miaolan's finger shaking is done in one go and runs through the whole song, adding a touch of tenderness to the music and making people think of the love between heroes and beauties.
Finally, the blood-heated piano music stopped, and it seemed as if a beast was struggling wildly inside Zhou Sen's body, as if it might burst out of his body at any time.
Zhou Sen lost consciousness for a while.
This song "Swordsman" has been popular in the Han Empire for decades. This is not the first time Zhou Sen has heard it, but he has never felt the rush of blood like now.
When Zhou Sen woke up from his aftertaste, Miaolan had left, leaving only the guqin lying there quietly, which was inexplicably sad.
Sure enough, there are strange women among the world!
Zhou Sen let out a long sigh.
About ten minutes after Miaolan left, Lu Ax walked in with a serious expression.
"Let's go." Lu Ax gestured to Zhou Sen, turned around and walked out.
"How do you feel?" Zhou Sen felt something was wrong with Lu Axe, and asked pretending to be relaxed.
"Um."
Lu Ax just nodded noncommittally and strode away.
After the two of them went downstairs, they said hello to Uncle Shen and left in a hurry. Along the way, Zhou Sen asked a few indirect questions. From beginning to end, Lu Ax just nodded and answered without saying a word.
Zhou Sen realized that Lu Chutou had something serious on his mind, because his expression was too serious. Even when his fiancée was killed by a mob a few days ago, Lu Chutou had never been so cold. This kind of coldness was incompatible with
The devastation caused by the death of his fiancée is completely different.
Zhou Sen had no other choice.
Although Zhou Sen has only been with Lu Ax for three months, he understands Lu Ax's character. If he doesn't want to say something, no one can force him to say it. There is incredible persistence in this strong and dull man.
The two returned to Shenjiadong Courtyard and said nothing for the whole day.
Most of the time, Lu Axe lowered his head and meditated. Occasionally he would stand up and walk around with an anxious look on his face.
In the evening, Lu Shatou went out, returned to the East Courtyard, and then to the West Courtyard. When he returned to the East Courtyard, it was already dark.
"Zhou Sen, this is the money I owe you." Lu Ax took out a lot of imperial coins from his pocket, at least tens of thousands.
"What are you doing?" Zhou Sen asked with a frown as he looked at the Lu ax that counted one, five and ten imperial coins.
"I'm leaving." Lu Ax looked at Zhou Sen.
"Where to go?" Zhou Sen's body trembled. He knew that Lu Shatou had made up his mind. He could feel his determination from the time he went to the West Courtyard to pay off several years of wages at once.
