The inn is very large, with a single door. There are many cars and horses in front of the door, and the lights in the entire inn are on.
The waiters in the lobby worked hard in the front hall and back yard, serving plates of steaming dishes.
Since the ingredients are really limited, most of them are wild vegetables and vegetables.
All the big fish and meat went upstairs.
The door of the largest sky-shaped room on the second floor was knocked for the fifth time.
The pretty maid was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, so she walked over top-heavy and opened the door.
The waiter greeted me respectfully and handed the tray over.
The pretty maid took it and raised her hand to close the door, when a tea cup suddenly hit her and broke into pieces five steps behind her.
The pretty maid was so frightened that she woke up.
She held the tray steady and walked half a step outside, looking around with her eyes open. After a while, she came back and closed the door again.
Tao Daizhuo picked up another tea cup and threw it at him: "What can I tell you! If you want to see if there is anyone suspicious outside the door, you must check again and again! Look at what you are saying!"
As he said that, the teapot was also thrown over by Tao Daizhuo.
The pretty maid shivered and knelt on the ground: "Master Hou, please forgive me, it's Ah Fu who was negligent. Ah Fu is too sleepy."
"Master Hou~" the beautiful concubine said softly.
"Huh!" Marquis Jing'an slapped on the table.
The food that was brought was placed on the table, and another maid came forward, randomly picked it into her own bowl, and then began to taste it.
After tasting the tea, Mei Ji picked up the tea with chopsticks and fed it to Marquis Jing'an one by one.
"It doesn't taste good, it doesn't taste good at all!" Marquis Jing'an said angrily, "There is no decent dish!"
"Master Hou, this is the way it is in this remote and remote country," said the beautiful concubine.
"Backcountry..." Marquis Jingan murmured, "This is still within my Central Plains, or a traveling state. If you go outside the customs and go to the wild land in the north, what will I eat? What will I wear?"
"My lady will never treat the Marquis badly," the concubine smiled sweetly, "Mr. Hou, you are the dearest person to my lady."
"Haha," Marquis Jing'an glanced at her, "I would rather not have this niece!"
Without this niece, the history books would be a different version.
"No," the beautiful concubine leaned over and said softly, "Master Hou, look at how old Miss Tang is in this life, but how many sons can she create such a storm? How powerful can the Tao family produce such a person? Wait.
When the Marquis went to Beiyuan, the wine he drank and the clothes he wore were definitely first-class."
The more Marquis Jing'an listened, the angrier he became. He raised his hand and slapped his beautiful concubine on the face: "You bitch! In the eyes of you women, there is no family, country or world!"
The beautiful concubine covered her face and looked at him with widened beautiful eyes, surprised and afraid.
Immediately, the beautiful concubine knelt down on the ground and cried aggrievedly: "Master Hou, last time I followed Mr. Hou's words and said something wrong with Miss Tang. Didn't I say that Miss Tang was a bitch? Why did Master Hou hit me this time?
I’m done.”
Marquis Jing'an kicked her in the chest: "Get out!"
The beautiful concubine staggered up from the ground, rubbed the painful area and left. Marquis Jing'an stopped her again: "Wait!"
"Master Hou~" The beautiful concubine looked back at him aggrievedly.
"Kneel down over there!" Marquis Jing'an pointed towards the corner of the wall, "Facing east, go quickly! I want you to sincerely kowtow to the emperors and ancestors I have done to apologize!"
The concubine then did as she was told.
"Huh!" Marquis Jing'an said angrily again. He went to pick up the chopsticks himself, and when he was picking up the food, he got angry again, "Don't make any noise, I still have to listen to what's going on outside!"
The beautiful concubine is already trying her best to endure it, but the sound of sobbing is sometimes hard to endure even if she wants to.
Marquis Jing'an was impatient and scolded her again.
Later, whenever the sound of wind outside the window became slightly louder, Marquis Jing'an would immediately drop his chopsticks, put his ear to the window and hold his breath.
Seeing the figures running towards him from time to time, Xia Zhaoyi, who was leaning on the eaves, felt surprised, but felt that he could explain it.
A few years ago, when she and Shen Lie met Marquis Jing'an in the earth temple, he was already very cowardly.
Sure enough, the more cowardly a person is to others, the more cowardly he is to others.
Another strong wind blew, and Marquis Jing'an came running again.
After listening for a while, Marquis Jing'an stood up and went back.
"No one can harm me!" Marquis Jing'an's muttering voice came from inside, "Let's see who dares to harm me!"
Xia Zhaoyi thought for a while and said, "Tao Daizhuo."
Marquis Jing'an was passing the chopsticks to his mouth. He shuddered when he heard this, and the food in his hand almost went into his nostrils.
Not only him, everyone in the room was shocked and looked out the window.
The north wind howled, fast and fierce, but other than that, there was nothing.
"Ah!!" Tao Daizhuo shouted with a trembling voice, jumped up from his position and ran towards the bed.
"Do you still remember me?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at the lights in the window, "I am Xia Zhaoyi."
"Ahhhhh!!"
Everyone in the house was frightened.
The maids also shrank into corners.
The sound outside the window was soft and cold, and it felt like it was covered with snow and frost in the cold winter night.
"I heard that you are going to see Tao Lan. So, can you give her a few words for me?"
"Ah ah ah, I don't, I don't want to take it! Ah ah ah!"
"I really miss you," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "Jing'an Marquis, I met you several times when I was young. You were tall and strong at that time, so powerful and majestic. One year at the Spring Court Banquet, you heard that I returned to Beijing.
, I specially called Marquis Xuanping to come to see me. At that time, you were wearing a emerald blue silk robe, and you specifically told me that these emeralds were made directly from the feathers of kingfishers. At that time, you also gave me
I got a pair of ice jade bracelets made in Huazhou, they are very beautiful.”
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, good niece, oh my righteous niece! Every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its owner. It was not me who harmed you! Ahhh! It was not me!" Marquis Jing'an howled loudly.
"If it were you, I would have asked for your life long ago," Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, "But, you actually want to go find Tao Lan, then don't you guys count as one?"
"There is no place for me in this world, I can only go to Tao Lan, wuwuwu, my dear niece, please spare me, please!"
"Tell Tao Lan," Xia Zhaoyi's voice became serious, "I will not let her die easily, I will always pester her."
"Okay! She will die miserably! She will definitely die miserably! It will definitely happen! It will definitely!!!"
There was no more sound outside.
The wind blew very hard, and the window lattice trembled slightly. Marquis Jing'an's heart was beating wildly, and he looked at the window with tearful eyes.
The maids in the room also held their breaths attentively.
"She, she didn't speak anymore, right?" Marquis Jing'an pointed to the window.
"It seems... gone." A maid said.
Marquis Jing'an got off the bed tremblingly and stumbled to the window, dragging his wet pants.
When he was approaching the window, his legs went weak, and he held on to the window sill with both hands to keep from falling.
With a "pop" sound, the window sash was pushed open by Marquis Jing'an.
The howling north wind almost instantly froze his tears into icicles.
He quickly wiped it on his face and looked around.
There is nothing but the sound of wind.
"Ahhhh!!!!" Marquis Jing'an shouted out the window, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
