Chapter 4: Long Qian, the second name of the inn

God bless you for five years.

Li Longqian, the style of his name is not what a child from a small mountain village should have. As for his appearance, he is handsome, but it is a pity that he is a poor man. People say that people with dragons in their names will be better.

It can achieve great things. Every time he heard this, Li Longqian would curl his lips and curse, "This is all bullshit."

Sometimes he envied the names of other waiters in the store, such as Ergou Tiedan. At least their names were easy to pronounce, and the shopkeeper liked to say hello when he had something to do. But the name Li Longqian was not the same.

, the shopkeeper yelled in disgust, and would only shout impatiently when the other waiters were not around. Li Longqian had just passed the New Year's Eve this year.

8. He has been serving tea and water for three years in this small inn where the business is not bad. Although he does not make much money, he is satisfied with a few pieces of silver every month to feed him and drink.

, Li Longqian didn't have any lofty ambitions. He felt that those things were only for the children of aristocratic families or wealthy young men from businessmen's families. He was not worthy of this.

Li Longqian never knew what his parents looked like since he could remember, so he thought he might have really jumped out of a crack in the stone, and then happened to be picked up by an old slave, so he survived, but every time

Whenever Li Longqian thinks like this, a stupid guy with a runny nose will shout at him: "Brother, we have parents."

This foolish, foolish man is Li Longqian's only relative in the world, Li Huping.

Although the name Li Huping is not as impressive as Li Longqian, it still gives people the feeling of a famous goalkeeper. Unfortunately, Li Huping is just a stupid guy with three souls and seven souls missing one soul. Apart from this stupid guy,

There was another person in Li Longqian's family, and this person was the old slave who picked up Li Longqian.

In fact, Lao Nu's original name was not Lao Nu, but he often called himself that. Later, he called Li Longqian and Li Huping brothers that way. In Li Longqian's eyes, Lao Nu was a person who didn't even have his own name.

A weirdo who can forget, although he is as skinny as a stick, he is very strong. Li Longqian once saw an old slave fighting with a blind bear in the woods alone. Not to mention who lost or won, just this courage,

Li Longqian had to shout the word "submit".

However, everyone thought Li Longqian was bragging when he mentioned this matter, and Li Longqian never mentioned it again, but in his eyes, Lao Nu must be a powerful character.

When Li Longqian was ten years old, he lived with his stupid brother and this old slave. Now that he thinks about his old life, Li Longqian lived a comfortable life. He usually relied on the old slave to beg or beg in the street.

Living with the money earned from playing chess, even though the food is worthless, at least you don't have to worry about how much rice is left in the rice vat.

But when Li Longqian was ten years old, the old slave took Li Huping out once. Since then, Li Longqian has never seen that stupid brother whose nose ran to his chin without knowing how to wipe it with his hands.

The slave said that Li Huping was lost, but Li Longqian didn't believe it. At first, Li Longqian thought it was because there was no rice at home. The old slave took his brother in exchange for two buckets of rice, but

Later Li Longqian believed it, because after Li Huping was lost, a bad old man in his sixties cried for three days and three nights. Every time at the third watch, Li Longqian would hear the old slave's words in his sleep.

The sound of crying came and went. At that time, Li Longqian couldn't understand why you were crying so heartbreakingly when my brother was lost.

Later, the old slave stopped crying and began to teach Li Longqian how to practice swordsmanship. A mahogany sword with almost no original color became Li Longqian’s only playmate when he was a child. From the beginning of sword practice, Li Longqian felt that the old slave

It's no longer pleasing to the eye. Every day I have a stinky face full of wrinkles and the same sentence on my lips: "Have you practiced sword practice today?"

Whenever he got tired from sword practice, Li Longqian would secretly curse the old slave to die quickly. Later, the old slave really died.

The old slave said he wanted to teach Li Longqian seven sword moves, but he just taught him the third move. The skinny old slave died. The old slave was strange, and the death was strange. Li Longqian couldn't remember what happened to the old slave.

Damn it, Li Longqian can't remember exactly what happened on the night when the old slave died.

But later, every time Li Longqian saw Taomujian, he would curl his lips and curse: "You old man who doesn't keep his words!"

After the old slave left, he only left Li Longqian a broken sword manual and the wooden sword whose color had long been lost.

After the people in the village knew that the old slave was gone, they specially found a place for the old slave to be buried, and also bought a coffin. That coffin was probably the most magnificent thing in the old slave's life. On the day of burial

, it was a heavy rainy day with dense clouds. The old slave was buried in the soil. Li Longqian saw

Not a single tear was shed while holding the old slave's coffin. Even the villagers who had a good relationship with the old slave wiped their eyes symbolically. However, Li Longqian, who had been living with the old slave for more than ten years, did not shed a single tear. Li Longqian

I feel that I may not be born with the ability to cry. I didn’t cry when my younger brother was lost, and the same was true when my old slave was gone.

Without the old slave who depended on each other, there was no need for the old slave to beg for food on the street. Li Longqian knew that it was uncomfortable to be hungry, so he had no choice but to go out and find some livelihood. But Li Longqian was really

Because he had no merit, even begging was not as pitiful as the elder slave. In the end, Li Longqian became a waiter in an inn.

Although his physique is on the thin side, Li Longqian is quite agile at work, and he is also very good at talking, which can make the landlady who is still in her thirties still charming laugh out loud from time to time, so even if Li Longqian usually

There are some lazy and slippery behaviors, but the landlady also turns a blind eye. This is the case no matter what age.

, Diligent work is far less than a few words of flattery. The proprietress's liking has become the main reason why the shopkeeper hates Li Longqian, but this inn is opened by the proprietress herself, and the shopkeeper is just a cheap man.

Son-in-law, so what the shopkeeper says in this inn has no weight at all.

Li Longqian stayed in this inn for three full years. If it hadn't been for that person's appearance, Li Longqian might have stayed in this small inn for the rest of his life.



Today is a happy day for the Fuyuan Inn where Li Longqian is staying. The inn is very lively, and the streets outside are also very lively. The originally dirty roads have also been swept clean. You must know that on weekdays, the ground is covered with dust.

It was all rotten vegetable waste paper left behind by the vendors after closing their stalls, but it was different today. The streets were clean, the stalls of the vendors were neat, and even the usually unkempt boss lady was wearing heavy makeup.

Wearing a big red dress, she looks particularly festive. Pedestrians passing by the inn will involuntarily take a few more glances inside when they see the old lady. The landlady herself has a bold personality, and she doesn't forget to flirt with the charming young man when she sees her.

After a while, this move made the shopkeeper sitting at the counter very worried. The shopkeeper's face was obviously longer than yesterday, and he looked at the landlady with obviously resentful eyes, like an angry little daughter-in-law.

In fact, the boss lady's cleaning seems to be similar to that of the top boss in Zuishengfang. This is Li Longqian's innermost thoughts.

There are a lot more patrols in the town today. I heard that the team is led by the catcher himself. This large formation is actually to welcome the arrival of a group of big shots. The city is very happy that these big shots can come to this small town.

The county magistrate inside specially went out of the city and rushed to the town to greet him in person. It would be a great opportunity for a big shot to come to this town.

This is a huge blessing for a small town. Everyone in the town seems to be looking forward to the arrival of these big shots. The ladies who usually don’t go out are all wearing new clothes today, and they are in groups.

I was wandering around the streets, thinking that a kid from a rich family would take a fancy to me and take him back as a side house.

Li Longqian didn't know what a big shot was, and he didn't care what these big shots did. He just knew that a piece of silk on the girl's body could exchange for ten years of his salary, and the sharp knife on his waist, he might,

Maybe you won't be able to buy one in this life. A person like him can only hold a wooden sword that may break at any time and wear linen clothes that have not been changed for two or three years...

"Do you know who is coming back today?"

"I heard that he came from the Imperial City."

When the landlady wasn't paying attention, the two waiters hid in the back kitchen and whispered. This conversation happened to be heard by Li Longqian who was passing by. Li Longqian himself didn't like to talk nonsense with them, but he followed them

Li Longqian was still willing to hide together and be lazy. After all, even if the shopkeeper caught him and punished him, he could still have more company.

"I heard that the person who came to our inn today seems to be a peerless beauty. She passed through our town to participate in the election of the beauty tree!" A waiter who seemed to be well-informed said to another person mysteriously.

He said, with a little pride in his tone, as if the peerless beauty he mentioned came here because of him.

"Really?" His companion stared at his small eyes and asked with surprise on his face.

"I heard what my cousin-in-law said. My cousin-in-law is an errand boy in the county."

"That's great. I heard that the beauties on that beauty chart are all extremely beautiful. It is said that they are ten times prettier than the number one in our Zuixianfang." The companion became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice seemed to get louder.

Got up.

"This time, a woman named Lan Aoxue is here. She is a real beauty. Only the girls in Zuixianfang can't raise their heads in front of Lan Aoxue. I'm telling you, you can't either.

You know, when you see a real person, you will know what a real fairy is." The waiter praised this woman as if he was as proud as he would praise his own daughter-in-law.

"You haven't seen it before, how do you know?" The companion was a little embarrassed by the waiter's words and immediately countered.

"I heard what my brother-in-law said..."

Lan Aoxue, this is the first time Li Longqian has heard this name, it is a very nice name.
