Start Six Maids

The drunken Taoist followed the trend, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to open the jar.

Chu Ci shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't look at it, Daoist, save it for the road and drink it, we should go!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci got on his horse and rode out of the south gate.

"Hey!"

"Wait for the old man!"

The drunk Taoist hurriedly jumped on the horse's back, being careful not to bump the wine jar, and urged the rare horse under his crotch to chase after him.

After leaving Shengjing City, Chu Ci and Zui Taoist had already left Shengjing City for nearly three hundred miles in just half a day with the foot strength of a rare horse.

"Shut up!"

On the official road, Chu Ci reined in the linhorn horse.

It was getting late at this moment, and the afterglow of the setting sun was only the skyline.

Chu Ci turned to look at the drunk Taoist who was drinking alone, and said aloud, "Master Taoist, let's find a place to rest for the night!"

The drunk Taoist waved his hands indifferently, and muttered, "Look at the arrangement!"

Chu Ci nodded, and looked up into the distance.

In the light of the afterglow, Chu Ci saw faint buildings and buildings in the distance.

"There seems to be a town ahead, let's go there and rest!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci drove the Linjiao horse forward.

"Wait for the old man!"

Seeing Chu Ci go far away, the drunk Taoist had no choice but to drive the lin horned horse to follow.

When the Linjiao horse trotted for a stick of incense, a village was already in sight.

In front of the town gate, Chu Ci got off his horse.

Chu Ci took the reins of the rare horse and walked up to the guard guarding the town.

"Please trouble this big brother to open the city gate, we want to enter the city to rest."

The guard glanced at Chu Ci and Zui Taoist, nodded and said, "If you want to enter the city, you can, first pay the city fee!"

"City entry fee?" Chu Ci was taken aback when he heard the words. He hadn't heard that there was a fee to enter the city.

The guard chuckled and said, "Aren't you from Songjia Town?"

Chu Ci shook his head, "No, we're passing by."

Only then did the guard explain aloud, "This Song Family Town was funded and established by Mrs. Song!"

"Songjia Town guards a side of the people. Of course, the locals don't need to pay the city fee, but people from other towns need to pay the city fee if they want to go to the city to rest."

Chu Ci suddenly said, "How much will I have to pay?"

The guard stretched out a hand and said, "Not much, just five copper coins per person."

Chu Ci nodded, "That's really not much."

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci turned to look at the drunk Taoist.

The drunken Taoist was taken aback, "What do you think the poor Taoist is doing?"

Chu Ci said as a matter of course, "Pay the fee and enter the city!"

"Hiss..." The drunken Taoist took a deep breath, and looked at Chu Ci in disbelief, "Brat, are you asking me for money?"

Chu Ci raised his head and pointed with his chin to the wine jar on the horseback of the drunk Taoist Linjiao, "I bought the wine you drank!"

The drunk Taoist had no choice but to take out ten copper coins from his cuffs and hand them to the guards.

"Go, enter the city!"

Chapter 234 Midnight Marriage

After Zui Taoist reluctantly paid the entrance fee, Chu Ci and Zui Taoist led their horses into Songjia Town.

As night fell, Song Family Town was brightly lit.

A big red lantern is hung in front of every house.

The red lights shone on the closed door, and there was a hint of weirdness in the festive atmosphere.

Da da da···

The two of Chu Ci led the horse and walked on the empty street, and the sound of the horse's hooves could be heard far away.

"Master Taoist, look at these lanterns."

Chu Ci pointed to the red lantern hanging high in front of the gate, and said, "The lanterns are all written with happy characters. Does every household in Songjia Town have happy events?"

The drunk Taoist raised his head and took a sip of wine with his wine gourd in his hand, and said casually, "It's nothing to do with yourself, so why bother so much?"

"Maybe this is the custom of Songjia Town?"

Chu Ci didn't think much, looked at the sky and said, "Master Daoist, it's getting late, let's find an inn quickly."

The drunken Taoist looked at Chu Ci vigilantly when he heard the words, "Let's say yes first, the poor Taoist will not pay this time!"

Chu Ci chuckled, "Don't worry, I invite you!"

The two led the horse through half of the town, and finally found an inn that was not closed yet.

"Daozhang, you are watching the horse outside, I will go in and book a room."

Chu Ci stepped into the inn, and there was only one shopkeeper and one waiter at the counter.

The shopkeeper lowered his head and fiddled with the abacus, taking stock of the day's income and expenditure.

The waiter propped his chin with one hand, squinting his eyes and dozing off.

"The shopkeeper!"

Chu Ci greeted, "Is there any room?"

The shopkeeper looked at Chu Ci upon hearing the sound, and hurriedly greeted him, "Hey! Who are you, guest officer?"

Chu Ci said, "Two people, two horses. We have booked two upper rooms and are preparing to order wine and food."

The shopkeeper nodded and smiled, "Okay! Sir, please sit inside first."

The shopkeeper looked at the waiter who was still dozing off, raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

"Stinky boy! There are guests, hurry up and lead the horses for the guests!"

The waiter rubbed his eyes, yawned and said, "Got it, Dad!"

"Would you like to feed the horse again by the way?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Use some good fodder."

Chu Ci stopped him, "We can feed the horses ourselves, please prepare some beans and raw meat for the shopkeeper."

"Raw meat?" The shopkeeper was a little confused.

Chu Ci said, "Just do as I say, and you will have money!"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he stopped asking questions immediately, as long as he had money to make, why would he ask so much?

"Stinky boy, go and prepare everything the guest officer wants!"

"understood!"

The waiter ran out of the inn, and led the horse to the stable with the drunk Taoist.

After a while, the drunk Taoist came in carrying a wine jar.

boom!

The drunk Taoist directly put the wine jar on the table, and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, get some special dishes!"

"Okay, two guest officers, wait a moment."

The shopkeeper nodded, turned around and walked towards the back kitchen.

Zui Taoist sat across from Chu Ci, picked up the wine jar and poured himself a bowl of wine.

"Well···"

The drunk Taoist lowered his head and sniffed the aroma of the wine, then said excitedly, "Good wine!"

"Boy, don't you come?"

Chu Ci shook his head and smiled, "The food hasn't been served yet, so what's the point of just drinking."

"Tsk tsk!" The drunken Taoist clicked his tongue and said with a smile, "You don't understand that, do you?"

"Wine, food, food, wine is the most important thing, food is just an extra!"

Gudong!

After finishing speaking, the drunken Taoist threw a bowl of wine down his throat.

"Guest officer, your food is here!"

After the tea time, the shopkeeper brought out the dishes himself.

"Guest officer, the beans and raw meat you requested are ready."

Chu Ci nodded and said, "Leave it alone, I will feed the horses myself."

The shopkeeper replied after hearing the words, "Okay, the two guest officers take it easy!"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned and left.

The drunk Taoist couldn't stop once he drank, and he ate a meal for two full hours!

If the shopkeeper hadn't bit the bullet and urged him one after another, the drunk Taoist would still be drinking to his heart's content.

Snapped!

Chu Ci took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the counter, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, this silver is for you, and you don't need to look for the rest!"

The shopkeeper swiftly took the money with his hands, without any hint of impatience.

"Thank you, officer!"

"Guest officer, do you want to rest? The hot water for bathing has been prepared for you!"

Chu Ci nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, please trouble shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No trouble, no trouble!"

"Two guests upstairs, please!"

Chu Ci and Zui Taoist followed behind the shopkeeper and came to the door of the guest room on the second floor.

squeak-

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the guest room, and introduced, "These two rooms are the best rooms in this inn. You two will use them at will. If you need anything, just call me."

The drunk Taoist patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, you can go to sleep at ease. We only stay for one night and leave tomorrow morning."

The shopkeeper nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

Didi toot...

Suddenly, a burst of festive trumpets sounded from far away on the street.

"what sound?"

Chu Ci was slightly taken aback, and listened curiously.

The drunk Taoist stroked his beard lightly, and said with a smile, "Listen to this song, someone is getting married and a girl?"

Chu Ci nodded suddenly, then suddenly froze again.

"That's not right!"

"Isn't marriage always in the morning? It's almost midnight now, how can you get married at this time?"

The drunk Taoist also came to his senses, he stroked his beard and said doubtfully, "It's really a bit strange."

Looking at the shopkeeper, the drunk Taoist asked aloud, "Shopkeeper, do you know whose family this is doing the wedding?"
