4 Hongmen Inn(1/2)

Chu Tianxiu walked on the cold streets of Changle, feeling a little sad and silent.

It has been traveling through two thousand years.

Some people travel through time and want to change their destiny, and go from being a good citizen to being a high-ranking official and generous salary.

Some people travel through time, want to change the vast history and give guidance to the marquis of thousands of households.

But he was lucky enough to travel through time and became a little marquis. Before he could figure out what he wanted to do, he was demoted by the emperor to a son-in-law from the Prince Ping's Mansion and was controlled by others.

Life is not free, and I don’t think about changing history and the times. As a son-in-law, as long as he can live a smooth life in his life, he is already satisfied.

Unlike now, it is hard to go home.

After walking on the streets of cold wind for a long time, I am now cold and hungry.

Fortunately, there was a silly girl named Zuer who followed him stubbornly and was frozen on the streets all night, which made him feel a little warm.

Chu Tianxiu looked back at Zuer. Her face was flushed, and she was as cute and pitiful as a shrinking little pink mouse in the cold wind.

Chu Tianxiu tied her windbreaker to her with pity, held her soft-jade hand and warmed her palm.

Zuer's face suddenly turned red and she lowered Qiongshou amidst astringently... My son-in-law is so considerate!

...

Changle Street is one of the most prosperous neighborhoods in Jinling City.

Today is the winter solstice, which is as big as the New Year.

Most of the civilians in Jinling City celebrate the festival at home. There is no stopping snow, the streets are cold, and there are only a few business trips with wind and snow. The scholars of the traveling school are walking around the city.

Chu Tianxiu and Zuer were walking on the streets of Changle, and he soon saw a tall and grand Hongmen Inn.

It is said that this Hongmen Inn is also famous in Jinling City and is the property of the descendants of Xiangzhuang. The descendants of Xiangzhuang often called the "Hongmen Banquet" a turning point in the hegemony of Emperor Taizu Xiang Yu, so they named their inn after this.

The Great Chu Dynasty has been in power for nearly a hundred years. The sons of famous literati traveled to Jinling City and commemorated the inns in this inn, which attracted many arts and elegance to gather here to have banquets.

Although it was a winter night, the hall of Hongmen Inn was brightly lit, and some business travelers and scholars who had not returned home and lived in Jinling City.

The crowds were filled with people, and they were gathering friends in groups, chatting and talking about several major events in Jinling City recently, such as the court's annual ceremony, and the little Hunhou married into his marriage, which was very lively.

"This is the one! Let's go buy a glass of warm wine to warm your body."

Chu Tianxiu was delighted and pushed the door open and entered the inn.

As the snow came, a cold wind whistled into the hall.

The sounds in the hall of Hongmen Inn were originally lively, and the guests were shocked by the cold wind. When they turned to see people coming late at night, they suddenly stopped.

"Hey, Xiao Hunhou!"

"Didn't he be awarded an imperial edict by the emperor and sent to Prince Ping's Mansion to be his son-in-law? Why did he run to Hongmen Inn in the middle of the night?"

The merchants and travelers all held their breath and showed strange expressions, and they did not want to provoke this number one playboy in Jinling.

"Maybe Xiaohunhou was so angry that he couldn't stay there in Prince Ping's Mansion and brought his beautiful maid to the inn?"

"Haha, I didn't expect that this big playboy would have this fate!"

"This is a good time to ridicule him!"

But the three or five groups of Confucian scholars were extremely brave. They looked at each other, their eyes full of drama and abuse, and they were ready to "start a war"!

Xiao Hunhou's reputation in Jinling Imperial City was so famous that no one could control the world, so that everyone in the city knew about it. When the child heard it, he was one of the little ancestors who was the most troubled by the prefect of Jinling.

But the Confucian scholars in Jinling City are not afraid. They are all natural Taoist priests. As long as they meet Xiao Hunhou on a narrow road, they will definitely start a war of quarrels.

I just regret that Xiao Hunhou is thick-skinned, able to withstand scolding, and has a strong combat power. They rarely get any advantage.

Today, the emperor suddenly issued an imperial edict to demote Xiaohunhou to the Prince Ping's Mansion, which aroused a thousand waves. All the civil and military officials and the civilians in the court were all excited about this matter, as if they were about to recruit a son-in-law.

"Oh, are you talking about me? I'll listen here, you guys continue talking!"

Chu Tianxiu smiled at the tourists and literati in the inn, picked an empty table in the hall and sat down.

Just now at the entrance of the inn, he vaguely heard a lot of discussion in the hall mixed with "What is the little humble marquis, what is the emperor ?", and he couldn't hear it clearly.

He didn't care.

It is a matter of unprecedented occurrence for the Marquis to marry into a marriage. It is normal for this incident to cause buzzing discussions among the people.

No one talks about it, it is strange.

Chu Tianxiu rubbed his hands and feet that were almost frozen, and then said to the front desk manager of the inn: "Shopkeeper, I am resting in your shop tonight. Give me a table of good dishes and a pot of hot wine!"

The shopkeeper Xiang Da of Hongmen Inn is a side branch of the Xiangzhuang family.

For some reason, he was very unhappy when he saw Xiaohunhou, so he stepped forward and bowed, and said politely and coldly:

"Young Marquis, Lao Hun Hou used to invite guests at our store and paid thousands of taels of silver on credit. You are now the son-in-law of the Prince Ping's Mansion, and it is not easy for the young man to ask you for this credit... But whether you want to stay in a small store or drink or eat meat tonight, you must pay cash, and you don't have to pay any credit!"

Chu Tianxiu was stunned.

Lao Hunhou's account of 1,000 taels of silver was credited at Hongmen Inn?

Must pay?!

I couldn't help but instinctively stretched out my hand to touch my waist.

His heart was stuttering.

When Xiaohunhou went out, it seemed that he never brought money. He was always a servant carrying a big silver bag and following him to sprinkle silver!

Chu Tianxiu looked back at Zuer.

Why are you still standing there?

Pay!

Isn’t paying the bill a maid’s business?

Zuer suddenly looked aggrieved and took out the embroidered purse on her waist for a long time, and finally took out two pitiful little copper plates.

She was sad and crying, "Son-in-law, I thought you would stay in the Hou Mansion for one night when you go home to visit your family. Tomorrow, you will be fined back to the Pingwang Mansion and didn't bring any money... These two copper coins are the only one left of the chestnuts I bought before."

The princess was afraid that the son-in-law would have money and spent money outside, so she was happy that Shu would not go back to the Ping Palace, so she had taken her money away in advance.

The two copper plates fell into the cracks in the pockets and were not taken away.

Zuer didn't expect that his son-in-law would suddenly have a whim and stay in the inn.

Now that the time is over, the son-in-law is embarrassed and the prince's mansion is defeated.

Chu Tianxiu took the two copper plates and his face was stiff.

Xiao Hunhou used to use more than one tael of silver, and never used copper coins.

What can I buy two copper plates?

Buy two small bean sprouts to stuff the teeth?

What to do tonight?

Can you stay in an inn?

Seeing that Zuer was almost crying, Chu Tianxiu couldn't bear to talk about her and sighed in her heart.

The Qiao family escaped, the experience of failure!

Xiao Hunhou's face was considered to be lost here. Next time... he would take at least tens of thousands of taels of silver to run away from home and get back his face.

"The big shopkeeper, only two copper coins... Can you use a cup of warm wine to drive away the cold and warm your body?!"

He could only smile helplessly with a shy face.

"Little Marquis, you can only buy a glass of cold wine for two cents!"

Manager Xiang Da was full of disgust.

However, it has never been easy to receive money from the Hunhou Mansion. After many years, I finally have two copper coins from the little marquis.

"Waiter, give our little marquis a glass of bad wine... Add more water and don't lose money!... It's too expensive to heat up. Our store is running a small business, so it's a little bit. Save the interest owed to us by the Hunhou Mansion."

The shopkeeper Xiang took the two bronzes from Chu Tianxiu's hand and shouted loudly, wishing that the entire inn could hear it.

"Cold wine is also wine!"

"Shopkeeper Xiang is generous! He owed so much money. If it were me, he would have coaxed him out long ago."

In the hall, the merchants and scholars and guests were laughing and extremely happy when they saw Xiao Hunhou being so embarrassed and ridiculed by the shopkeeper.

Chu Tianxiu glared at everyone, extremely depressed.

Suddenly I miss modernity so much!

Order a few dollars of takeout at home, and the delivery guy will deliver it to you without hesitation, and will politely ask for five-star praise.

Who dares to show his face?

After traveling through two thousand years, he was despised by a group of earthly men. The shopkeeper dared to give him a look and ridiculed the Marquis with a gun and a stick.

Bad reviews!

This is the case when the tiger falls into the sun and is bullied by the dog!
