The Moon Over Tang Dynasty Chapter 155

Chapter 155 (Part 1) Nothing can be done

Lao Qin was dancing happily. When he heard this shout, he jumped three feet on the spot with a slap of his head, turned around and rushed out. As soon as the door curtain rolled up, the figure disappeared, and the two waiters also ran away in a hurry. go out.

Everyone looked at each other for a few times, then gradually stopped dancing, and the music also subsided. Then they heard the sound of people and horses neighing outside the door. It was actually very lively. The carriage rumbled straight from the courtyard door next to the hall and went straight to the back. After a while, Lao Qin personally led the two people in with a smile.

The visitor was also a Hu Shang. The first one was not very old. Although he had curly hair and a yellow beard and was wearing an azure striped Hu suit, he looked a bit like a Tang Dynasty man. The one behind him was older and had a steady expression. , judging from his behavior, he seems to be like a housekeeper.

Mi Dalang frowned and looked at the two people up and down, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The three of them walked to the desk and stood still. The older Shang Hu asked, "Old Qin, have you reserved all the rooms and warehouses we want?"

Old Qin smiled and said, "Old Kang, you look down on people! In the morning, your people came quickly to place the deposit. I, Old Qin, are always getting older, but why have I forgotten such a big thing?" The back door shouted, "Hurry up and cook the wontons!"

Lao Kang smiled and thanked, Lao Qin hurriedly waved his hand and asked, "Why did you arrive so late? I had already cooked the mutton soup and wontons here, and I had been looking forward to it for a long time. I'm afraid you'll be delayed on the road today.”

Young Hu Shang interjected with a smile, "Isn't it delayed? The North Road is really difficult to travel. Today when we passed a pass, one of the carts broke down. There was nowhere to retreat, so the convoy was delayed for more than an hour. At this time, if there weren't fewer cars on the road now, we would have been scolded to death.”

Lao Qin also laughed, "Exactly. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people taking the North Road, and there are fewer restaurants and shops on the road. A large convoy like yours can still travel. If there are fewer people, how dare you? Miss it? Sutou is not for fun.”

Lao Kang sighed, "If the weather hadn't gotten cold earlier this year, and we thought we could get hundreds of miles closer by taking the North Road, we wouldn't have gone this way. This is the first time Juro has taken a convoy to Xizhou, so we can't really delay it... "

 The convoy going to Xizhou at this time of year? No wonder the old one looks so familiar! A look of surprise appeared on Mi Dalang's face, and then he laughed with a "ha" sound. The three of them couldn't help but turn their heads and look over. Lao Kang was startled for a moment, then immediately bent over with a smile, "Dalang of the Mi family, what a coincidence!"

Mi Dalang waved his hand carelessly, "What a coincidence! I really didn't expect to meet your motorcade here!"

 That Juro didn't seem to know Mi Dalang. Lao Kang whispered a few words to him before smiling and nodding to Mi Dalang.

Here, Lao Qin was busy rearranging the hall. Mi Dalang rolled his eyes and did not ask the dozen Hu girls to go back. He asked them all to sit down in groups of four and just wanted to eat some soup cakes. Just as he was about to go back, the hall suddenly burst into laughter and laughter.

 Lao Qin knew that Mi Dalang had done this intentionally, so he could only smile and ask the other guests to squeeze in a little, so as to make room for the new guests to eat some hot soup.

Pei Jiu frowned, raised his glass and drank down the wine in front of him. Ah Cheng stood up and said, "Shopkeeper, pay the bill!"

While speaking, the door curtain was raised again, and two women in curtain hats and a young man walked in one after another. Mi Dalang glanced at him and saw that he didn't recognize him, so he didn't bother to look any further. Hearing Ah Cheng's voice, he turned around and smiled at Pei Jiu, "It's a boring night, why don't Jiulang drink a few more drinks? It's all on Mi Dalang's account." Just go!”

But he saw Pei Jiu slowly standing up as if he was sleepwalking. His pale face suddenly lost any expression, as if he was wearing a smooth and stiff jade mask, but his eyes were staring at something unblinking.

Mi Dalang couldn't help but be surprised. Following his gaze, he saw three new people standing beside Juro. The two women did not take off their curtains and hats. From behind, they could only see a slight The shorter one is quite slim, but the slightly taller one is wearing a thick cloak, so his figure is not very visible. On the other hand, the young man turned half of his face. He seemed to be less than twenty years old. Although he had black hair and black eyes, he had a deep outline and picturesque features. He turned out to be an extremely handsome young man from a foreign country.

Mi Dalang couldn't help but sigh, "Jiulang has good eyesight. This young man is indeed stunning." Aben was surprised when he looked at Pei Jiu. After hearing this, he couldn't hold it in any longer and turned around and said angrily, "You're talking nonsense." What?" He looked at Pei Jiu again worriedly, "Alang!"

Mi Dalang shook his head and laughed indifferently. This young man was naturally handsome and tall, but he was still a lot worse than the foreign boy. No wonder he was angry.

Pei Jiu was oblivious to all this, and still just stared at the new people who came in. The stiffness on his face slowly faded away, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but his eyes were extremely desolate, with a mixture of sadness and joy. Indescribably weird.

Mi Dalang couldn't help but secretly be shocked: Although Pei Jiu's face is a little ugly, he is handsome. It's nothing to love a beautiful boy. But how could such a person with such an extraordinary bearing see such a beautiful young man from a foreign country showing such a look? A look of despair and madness? Could it be that that was his old friend?

He couldn't help but look back at the foreign boy again, but he saw that half of the boy's face was facing this way, and he could see Pei Jiu even if he thought about it, but there was no strange look on his face, and he couldn't help but feel more and more puzzled.

Pei Jiu seemed to have come to his senses and walked slowly over. Mi Dalang was full of curiosity and subconsciously followed him for two steps. Suddenly he realized and stopped, but he couldn't help but stretched his neck and walked towards Look there.

Juro said a few words to the three new people who came in, and then said to Lao Qin, "Have you already packed up your best room? If you bother the shopkeeper, he will have the hot water boiled and the bathtub prepared." Lao Qin laughed. He said, "Of course it has been cleaned up early. It is in the main room in the east courtyard at the back. The waiter has brought this lady's maid to clean it up. The hot water and bathtub will be delivered later." After saying this, he wanted to call the waiter. Coming to lead the way, he suddenly saw Pei Jiu walking over with a strange look on his face, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Several people saw that Lao Qin looked wrong and turned around. The shorter woman suddenly exclaimed. Pei Jiu had walked two or three steps behind the taller woman. Seeing her turn back, she took a step forward. His eyes were so deep that they could almost fall through the veil on the face inside. After a while, he whispered, "Liu Li, how could it be you?"

The woman in the curtain hat was silent for a long time, raised her head, and said without a trace of ripples in her cold voice, "May I ask the name of this gentleman?"

Hearing such unfamiliar words spoken by this familiar voice, Pei Xingjian felt his throat tightening. He watched helplessly as she turned around and ordered "Let's go" before leaving.

Hearing the exclamation, Ah Cheng had already woken up and hurriedly grabbed her and saluted, "I've seen Madam, I've seen Sister Ayan."

Liuli said calmly, "You got the wrong person." She walked towards the backyard without stopping.

Ah Cheng scratched his head and stayed there.

Juro, who was standing on the side, walked over with a smile, crossed his hands and saluted, "Is this Pei Changshi? I'll stay in Anjia for ten years."

Pei Xingjian returned the gift with a wry smile, "Brother-in-law, why should I see you outside?"

Anjuro Anjuro shook his head with a smile, "Pei Changshi's words are wrong. Juro will never take the title of uncle."

Pei Xingjian was stunned for a moment, feeling that all the strategies and strategies he had learned in his life were completely useless. He stood there unable to say a word.
