The Viper Lord Chapter 42(1/2)

In the evening, Peng Lai Inn.

Nangong Cheng hugged Xiang Tianyu and came to the Penglai Inn. Nangong Cheng glanced at the plaque of the inn and murmured: "Penglai Inn." With this thought, he felt the enthusiasm of the owner of the hotel to treat guests.

I want to stay at this inn.

Xiang Tianyu nodded and said: "Confucius said: 'How pleasant it is to have friends come from far away?' If you can think of applying Confucius's words to name it, it seems that the person who named this inn has some level of education.

"

Nangong Cheng glanced at Xiang Tianyu.

Xiang Tianyu looked at Nangong Chengdao: "Mr. sir, I suddenly thought of a couplet that would be more appropriate to give to this inn."

Nangong Cheng smiled and walked in with Xiang Tianyu in his arms.

The boss is dozing off at the counter.

Nangong Cheng put down Xiang Tianyu and knocked on the counter.

The boss was awakened, yawned, looked at Xiang Tianyu and Nangong Cheng, and said, "Two guests, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

Nangong Cheng nodded.

The boss said: "We have upper, middle and lower third-class rooms here..."

"I want a room on the far side that won't disturb other people." Nangong Cheng interrupted the boss.

Xiang Tianyu heard what Nangong Cheng said and knew that Nangong Cheng was going to take revenge. He looked at Nangong Cheng with a pout. But suddenly he remembered the name of Peng Lai Inn. Without waiting for the boss to respond, he said to the boss: "Boss, this Peng Lai Inn is from

Who gave you the name? You are quite educated!"

The boss smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, my name is Jian Nanke. I was originally a scholar, but because I failed in the examination many times, I had to give up the imperial examination and open an inn and be the boss. This name was given to me by me."

"

Xiang Tianyu said: "Having a good name but no good couplets to attract customers is a bit of a fly in the ointment."

Jia Nanke said: "To be honest, I have been thinking about this couplet, but I have never thought of a suitable pair."

Xiang Tianyu smiled and said: "This is simple, how about I write one for you?"

Jian Nanke asked: "Does the girl have a good match?"

Xiang Tianyu smiled and said: "I got a pair by chance. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the boss's judgment."

"Girl, please wait a moment, I'm going to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Jiananke went to get the Four Treasures of the Study.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nangong Chengwen asked Tianyu: "Hey, do you really know how to couplets?"

Xiang Tianyu smiled and said, "Just keep an eye on it!"

After a while, Jia Nanke came with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Xiang Tianyu spread out the paper, waved his hand and wrote a couplet and horizontal comment:

First couplet: All the five lakes are friends

Second line: We are brothers within the four seas

Hengpi: Tianya next to you

Jia Nanke read out both the couplet and Hengpi, and praised him again and again, saying: "What a good person, we are all friends in the five lakes, and we are brothers in the four seas. These fourteen words are concise and comprehensive, but they have profound meaning; this Hengpi is even more inspired by Wang Bo's words

The poem "The ends of the world are as close as one's neighbor" makes people feel more intimate when reading them. The girl's talent is only that of the female poet Li Qingzhao of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Xiang Tianyu clasped his fists and said, "How can a little girl with little talent compare to Li Qingzhao? As long as the boss likes her."

"Okay, I will post this couplet on the door tomorrow." Jiananke smiled and said, "By the way, what kind of room do you two want?"

"A room on the far side, so you can't disturb other people." Nangong Cheng said it again.

Jian Nanke glanced at Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu, smiled, took a bunch of keys from the counter, and said: "I understand, I understand, you two guests, please come with me!"

Jia Nanke led the way, with Xiang Tianyu and Nangong Cheng following behind.

Xiang Tianyu thought: "I will give

This boss wrote such a good couplet, so the food and lodging should be exempted, right? In this case, the punishment for the bad boy should be lighter." So Xiang Tianyu said deliberately: "Boss, I don't know how much it will cost to stay for one night.

money?"

Jia Nanke smiled and said: "It costs twenty coppers to stay one night, but because the girl wrote such a good couplet for me, I will not charge the two guests for their food and accommodation."

Seeing the boss's answer, Xiang Tianyu smiled and said, "Thank you very much, boss."

Jia Nanke smiled and said: "I should thank the girl for solving a problem that has been bothering me."

Jia Nanke led the way, and Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu followed the boss. The boss led them to a room. As he opened the door, he said to Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu: "This room is close to the woodshed, and the one next to it is

The room is currently unoccupied. The two of you will not disturb anyone in this room, and the young couple can do whatever they want in there."

When Xiang Tianyu heard what his boss said, he lowered his head in shame.

When Nangong Cheng heard what his boss said, he was very puzzled. He said, "How do you know we are a young couple?"

Jia Nanke smiled and said: "When the guest first came in, he pouted angrily; when your wife came in, she pouted angrily too. How can such a couple look like a married couple not just a young couple?"

The boss opened the door to the room and said, "Take your time, you two. It's time for me to go to the counter." After saying that, Jia Nanke left.

Nangong Cheng said to Tianyu: "Please!"

Xiang Tianyu shook his head and said, "I won't go in unless you tell me first how you plan to retaliate against me."

Nangong Chengdao: "Are you scared?"

Xiang Tianyu nodded.

Nangong Chengdao: "Why don't you know how to be afraid when you are fooling around?"

Xiang Tianyu said: "I don't want to mess around either! If you hadn't deliberately ignored me, how could I have messed around?"

Nangong Cheng stopped talking nonsense to Xiang Tianyu and directly pulled Xiang Tianyu into the room and closed the door.

Jia Nanke returned to the counter, where the noble master and the guards were already waiting.

Jian Nanke said: "Will the two guests stay in the hotel?"

The guard shook his head and said: "Boss, I would like to know which room the couple who just came in live in?"

Jia Nanke carefully looked at the two people in front of him, and secretly guessed: "The young couple looked sad when they first entered, maybe they eloped. And one of these two people is tall and not a kind person; the other looks like a

He looks like a scholar, but people should not be judged by their appearance. Maybe this scholar is more powerful than that taller person. That girl just gave me such a good couplet, I can't betray them." Jia Nanke said: "No.

Do you know what relationship that young couple has with you?"

The guard couldn't answer this question, so he turned his attention to your young master.

The noble master didn't know how to answer this question. He took out a one hundred tael silver note from his body, put it on the counter, and said to Jia Nanke: "If you tell us where that young couple lives, this hundred taels will be worth it."

The two silver notes are yours."

You can get one hundred taels of silver notes just by saying a word. Jia Nanke was also tempted. He smiled and said to the noble master and the guard: "That young couple lives here..."

"It would be better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage." Ye Xiuying walked in and interrupted Jia Nanke with one sentence.

The boss, the noble master and the guards all looked at Ye Xiuying.

Ye Xiuying sighed deliberately and said: "This person is so mean. He can actually ignore morals and rules for money. The boss ruined a marriage like this. I wonder if he will get the blessing of the Buddha in the future. What about retribution?”

When Jian Nanke heard this, he was too embarrassed to accept the hundred more.

Two silver notes. He sighed and said to the noble young master and the guard: "This guest officer is right. I can't bear the one hundred taels of silver notes. You'd better take it back!" After speaking, Then he returned the one hundred taels of silver notes to your noble master.

Ye Xiuying smiled.

The noble prince and the guard were naturally very angry when they saw that Ye Xiuying had ruined their affairs. The noble prince only looked unhappy, but the guard was furious.

The guard pointed at Ye Xiuying and said angrily: "Who are you?"

Ye Xiuying smiled and sat on a bench. Instead of answering the guard, she said to the boss: "Boss, I'm hungry. If you have anything to eat here, please bring some!"

Jian Nanke said: "I wonder what the guest would like to eat?"

Ye Xiuying said: "Whatever, as long as it can fill your stomach."

Jian Nanke said: "Then let me make you a bowl of egg noodles?"

"Okay." Ye Xiuying looked at the noble young master and the guard and said, "How about you order some food too? Boss, we can go work together!"

The noble master said: "Boss, please make us two bowls of egg noodles too!"

"Okay, three guests, please wait a moment!" Jia Nanke went into the kitchen to get busy.

The noble master said to Ye Xiuying: "Can I sit on the seat next to you?"

"Okay." Ye Xiuying said.

The noble prince nodded and sat opposite Ye Xiuying, while the guard sat on Ye Xiuying's right hand side.

The noble prince said to Ye Xiuying, "I wonder what I call this heroine?"

"It's easy, you can call me matchmaker." Ye Xiuying said.

"Matchmaker?" Your young master thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that you are the matchmaker for that young couple?"
