After a hangover, I didn't feel dizzy for the rest of my life. I even felt refreshed after opening the door. I didn't know the effect of alcohol, but I still got enough sleep.
The rain was still falling non-stop, making it difficult to tell the time.
There was heavy mist on the lake, and from time to time there were waves crashing on the shore. After the heavy rain, the water in the lake swelled sharply, and it was feared that it would reach the road in another three to five days.
With these thoughts in his mind, Yu Sheng slowly walked down the wooden stairs. Seeing that most of the guests were dining in the lobby, Mo Wen took his whole family and sat with Si You and the others.
There were also a few guests who were trapped in the rain, drinking wine and chatting out of boredom.
There were only four people in the inn. Ye Zigao and the others gathered together and didn't know what to say. When they heard footsteps, they turned around and saw that it was Yu Sheng, and immediately dispersed.
Ye Zigao also greeted Yu Sheng, "Shopkeeper, are you down?"
"Yeah." Yu Sheng responded with a yawn, and went downstairs to greet the guests, "It's good to eat and drink, and it's good to drink and eat."
Seeing Baicao staring at him, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. From Yu Sheng's point of view, this Siyou Baicao was a wealthy owner and he couldn't wait any longer.
Yu Sheng poured him a bowl of wine and said, "Brother Baicao, come here, I'll give you a bowl."
"No, no, I quit drinking." Baicao waved his hand hurriedly. Just now he thought that this kid was sober, but now it seems that he wants to repeat his old tricks.
Naturally, Yu Sheng didn't know this. He looked at Baicao who was still holding the wine bowl in confusion and said, "You quit drinking quite quickly."
The blindfolded Baicao paused, looked down at the wine bowl in his hand, and hurriedly threw it aside.
"I just decided to quit drinking, and we have agreed to have a child." Baicao pointed at the female secretary, Yousu Cuihua.
Su Cuihua, who was drinking heavily, was stunned and looked at Baicao with her blindfolded eyes, "Master Priest, what do you mean, are you a fool? I..."
Before she could finish her words, Su Cuihua was kicked and could only endure the pain and nod, "Yes, we are planning to have a child."
Yu Sheng glanced at them suspiciously, shook his head, and left in confusion.
"Could it be that the female Si You in Si You is so powerful that when a man and a woman look at each other, the male Si You is pregnant, so the male Si You has to quit drinking?" Yu Sheng muttered, passing by Wuyun's table.
Wuyun was burying her head in a pile of paper, writing something with her pen. The food next to her was already cold, so she didn't bother to eat it.
What made Yu Sheng hesitate was not the diligent Wu Yun, but the big-headed ghost sitting opposite her. He stared at Wu Yun motionless, presumably there was some grudge between them.
For the rest of my life, I vaguely knew what this grudge was, but I just couldn't remember it.
"Did your big head look like this when you died, or did it look like this before you died?" Feng'er chattered beside the big-headed ghost.
"Are you unbalanced when you walk? Are you top-heavy and fall to the ground? Do you really not need to hold an umbrella when it rains?"
When asked, Feng'er lowered her head and looked at the ghost's big head, "It's really not necessary. Let your hair grow long and cover your body tightly."
From the beginning to the end, the big-headed ghost didn't look at her, just stared at Wuyun. Only when Yu Sheng came over did the big-headed ghost look away and nodded to Yu Sheng.
Just now in the attic, the drunken man had toasted him with a bowl of wine. This was a great comfort to him who was misunderstood and denounced as a villain by the whole world.
Yu Sheng didn't know what he had done before, but he nodded to the big-headed ghost.
He came to the long table and sat down, "Where is my little aunt? What did you gather here just now to discuss?"
"The city lord went to the wine cellar behind."
Cao'er avoided answering the next question and did not bother to ask more questions for the rest of her life. She got up and ran towards the wine cellar, but was blocked by Aunt Qing who entered the door.
"What are you going to do?" Aunt Qing asked as she lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Well, I..." Yu Sheng scratched his head, "I miss you."
Aunt Qing was startled, and Ye Zigao, who was entertaining guests, couldn't help but turn around and secretly gave Yu Sheng a thumbs up.
"I want to go next door." Aunt Qing was in a good mood, pushing away Yu Sheng who was blocking the way, carrying the wine gourd to the long table, opened it, smelled it and poured herself a glass.
Yu Sheng came to the side and said, "This is brewed from Emperor Xiu's Angry Fruit. You should be careful, it doesn't have many fruits left now."
"Really?" Aunt Qing said nonchalantly, "There should be a few more Dixiu. I'll try to trick them someday. Also, where is the Thousand Days Drunk you promised to brew?"
"It's in the largest wine vat in the wine cellar, but it can't be done now. It will take at least three to five years to brew it. If you open it now and you can't brew it, don't blame me." Yu Sheng said.
"I don't blame you." Aunt Qing paused, "Then who should I blame?"
Yu Sheng's tone faltered. Just as he was about to speak, he saw an old man in a raincoat and a bamboo hat appearing at the door.
Behind him followed a tall and thin man, carrying two large baskets covered with bamboo lids.
After the two people entered the inn, they looked around and then took off the bamboo hats on their heads, immediately attracting Yu Sheng's attention.
Feng'er, who was chirping at the big-headed ghost next to him, was also attracted.
"Wow, this one." Feng'er first expressed emotion to the old man's hair, "This face shape, this head, it's like a long life."
She was also amazed by the tall and thin head next to her. The head was pointed, like a mountain peak. The mountainside was covered with dense hair, but the top of the mountain was bare.
Seeing a guest coming in, Ye Zigao walked up to him attentively and asked, "My dear guests, what do you want to eat?"
"First serve us some wine and snacks to warm us up, and we will take our orders when the guests I'm waiting for arrive." The old man put his bamboo hat next to the door and said to Ye Zigao with his missing front teeth grinning.
"Waiting for someone?" Ye Zigao looked outside. The sky was getting dark, the rain was pouring, and the inn was in a small town. Who else could come to the appointment?
Although Ye Zigao was full of doubts, he couldn't talk too much. He led the two of them to an empty table, served some wine and dishes, and then went to entertain other guests.
For the rest of my life, I have been secretly considering these two people.
Si You also noticed this, but remained silent for the rest of his life. Baicao signaled his subordinates not to meddle in other people's business.
Yu Sheng listened to the old man's instructions to the tall and thin man, "Don't show any fear when you meet them later. Our conditions are not bad, not to mention they are immigrants who have fled here."
"Yes, yes." The tall and thin man nodded and placed two bamboo baskets next to him. A humming sound came from the baskets. After being kicked by the tall and thin man, it immediately became quiet.
"This inn is the best inn within a hundred miles, and it is more than enough to entertain them."
The old man said as he drank a glass of "Pao Ding Leng", "Well, it's a good wine, it will warm you up, you can try it."
The tall and thin man lifted it up and took a sip, choking on the strong alcohol and coughing.
"It's a pity that your future father-in-law is a drinker, so you're afraid you won't be in his eyes," the old man said.
"Yes, yes." The tall and thin man responded weakly.
At this time, two tall figures came into the inn.
They were wearing well-fitting clothes and were about fifty or sixty years old. After taking off their bamboo hats, they looked happy without even having to smile.
Just as Ye Zigao was about to step forward to say hello, the old man waved, "We are here, we are here."
Yu Sheng frowned when he saw the two visitors, but they were blocked by their smiling faces, so most people couldn't see it clearly.
The two smiling faces sat opposite the old man and the tall and thin man. The old man couldn't wait to hand over a book and said, "The gift list is as follows. Will the wedding be held as scheduled?"
"Hey, don't be anxious now, we have to talk about this matter slowly." The two smiling faces pushed the book in the old man's hand back, and one of them asked the tall and thin man, "Do you have a room at home?"
"Yes, yes." The tall and thin man answered.
"Bought it in Yangzhou City?" Smiley asked again.
"No, it's not." The tall and thin man shook his head.
"You can't do it. The northern part of Yangzhou City is attracting demons... People are moving in. Why don't you take the opportunity to buy a house?" The smiling face is still smiling, but there is a bit of displeasure in his tone.
