"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of fire candles!"

"Boom, boom! Boom, boom!" The clapper knocked on the second watch, and Yu Lingchu came out of Wang Qi's room and went straight to the inner hall.Just after Haishi, it was dark and foggy, as soon as she came in from the inner hall, she saw the door of Hong Xier's boudoir was opened from the inside, subconsciously took two steps back, and dodged to hide behind the pillar in the corridor.

"I'm going back, you go to bed early."

Lu Tangyi was wearing the new clothes that Hong Xier made for her, with the old shirts on her arms. Because her hair had just been washed, her long hair was parted in a bun and pulled into a ponytail behind her head.

Hong Xi'er raised her hand and touched her forehead: "It's good to sweat, go back quickly, sleep well and don't need to get up early tomorrow."

"That won't work. I have to go to Li Zhu's house to ask for the bill tomorrow. I'll get up early and make breakfast for you and Ms. Ruan. I won't send it here. You can close the door of the inner hall tomorrow and eat directly in the kitchen."

"You don't have to worry about me, just prepare Miss Ruan's meals, and I'll get them from Lingchu."

Lu Tang smiled and said, "You've done everything right, these guys, go back quickly, good night." He waved his hand at them, took two steps back and looked back at Hong Xi'er before turning and walking out.Hong Xi'er was at the door until she saw people leave completely before closing the door and going back to the house.She may not have noticed it herself, but Yu Lingchu could see it clearly, the joyful smile that showed from the corners of her eyes and brows did not seem to be the expression shown to ordinary sisters and friends.

Yu Lingchu didn't come out from behind the pillar until the door was closed, so there's no need to ask now, her eyes can't deceive anyone, she and Sanniang have been together for so many years, this change can still be seen.

Sigh, does Sanniang herself know?

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Lu Tang got up early in the morning. Rarely, she dressed lightly and went out before Wang Qi woke up.

"Mr. Lu? Why do you wake up so early?" Qiulan pushed open the kitchen door and saw Lu Tangyi was already busy inside, so she hurried over to help.

"There are a lot of things today, so get up early." She put the breakfast on the tray and picked it up: "Please open the door."

"Master Lu, what do you want?"

"Miss Ruan's breakfast, I'll deliver it to someone."

"Ah, it's my lady's, let me do it."

"It's all right, it's easy work, you have worked hard these few days." The two went out of the kitchen to the guest room on the third floor, Qiulan smiled shyly: "It's not hard, it's you, I look tired and thin."

"Is there? I eat a lot."

The two came upstairs while they were talking. She glanced at Lang Yuanyi's room. The door was closed and not locked from the outside. Knowing that the person was still inside, she followed Qiulan to the door of Ruan Shuyue's room.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Miss Ruan, your breakfast is here."

"It's work."

Lu Tangyi prepared this meal with care, including porridge, noodles, custard, and milk buns. Even Ruan Shuyue, who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, couldn't help boasting: "You made all of these?"

"Yes."

"The craftsmanship is really good, it is more than enough to be a cook in an inn."

"Hey, it's okay, it's worse than Sister Yu, and she has to come for the hard dishes."

"Miss Yu is naturally good at craftsmanship, aren't you too bad?"

The two chatted for a while, Lu Tang cupped his hands and said: "Miss, I have to go to Li Zhu's house to ask for the bill, so I will leave first."

Ruan Shuyue then remembered that there was still such a thing, and ordered: "Don't worry, Qiulan, you go and find Fu Quan, and say that I have something to call him."

"It's Miss." Qiu Lan went out to look for Fu Quan. As soon as Lu Tang heard what she said, she knew that she hadn't run away, so she heard Ruan Shuyue say to her again: "Let Fu Quan be with you. I'm not afraid of Li Zhu's repudiation." , the money will be given to you today.”

"Thank you, miss!"

Ruan Shuyue smiled, stared at Lu Tang for a moment and said suddenly: "Miss Yuan said, you look like her brother who passed away."

As soon as Lu Tang heard the words, his heart trembled, and he heard someone say again: "It seems that you two are somewhat similar."

"There are a lot of people with similar looks in the world. I may just happen to look like them. After all, if a man of my age is a little more handsome, he will always look a little like him." After finishing speaking, she smiled shyly: "I should be pretty good at it." delicate and pretty."

Seeing this, Miss Ruan couldn't help laughing: "Brother Lu can be a handsome young man."

"Hey, the eldest lady is too good, too good."

As soon as Lu Tang chatted and laughed with Ruan Shuyue, he finished the meal. Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Lu Tang got up together: "Miss, I'll clean up, you rest first."

"It's work."

As soon as Lu Tang put his things back down and went downstairs, he saw Fu Butou and Qiu Lan hurrying up the corner.

"Master Fu, you are here."

"Here we come." Fu Quan responded casually, but kept walking, followed the people until Ruan Shuyue's room on the third floor straightened his clothes before knocking on the door.

Lu Tang snorted and shook his head, carrying his things down to tidy up.When they came to the kitchen in the backyard, they saw Hong Xi'er inside: "Why are you awake?"

"What time are you still sleeping?" After blowing the porridge in the bowl, Hong Xier saw that she came out with something and asked, "Miss Ruan, have you eaten?"

Lu Tang replied while washing the dishes, "I've eaten, and I'm talking to Fu Butou."

"Captain Fu? He's here too?"

"Well, let me follow him to Li Zhu's house to ask for the bill."

"In this case, I really want to thank Ms. Ruan, she has helped us a lot since she came to the inn."

"Yes." Lu Tangyi sighed sincerely after draining the water from the chopsticks: "I really met a good man."

"Tch." Seeing her emotion, Hong Xi'er stretched out her hand to touch her forehead: "How many good people have you met?"

"Well, it's quite a lot." Lu Tang nodded solemnly, and then shook his small eyebrows at others: "But no one is as good as you, why don't you say that your name is Xi'er, and your surname is Hong, whoops, my name I have never seen such a beautiful and auspicious name, it is simply my lucky star."

"Grumpy."

"No, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart."

While the two were laughing, there was a greeting from the front hall: "Master Hong, is Master Hong here?"

"coming!"

The two put down the things in their hands and came to the lobby. Fu Quanzheng and Qiulan were standing there. The former waved his hands when he saw them coming: "It happens that the small accountant is also here. Come, bring your account books, and I will take you personally." Go ask for the bill."

Hong Xier said politely: "This is too much trouble for you."

"Tsk! Trouble or no trouble, people's business is my business, I still don't believe it, let this rascal gossip, the whole Huanxi Town is well led by Mr. Ruan, we can't let him break down, let's go!" said Forget it, he puffed out his chest and swung the knife across, saying to Qiulan: "Miss Qiulan, go back and take care of the eldest lady, I'm here, don't worry."

"There is labor to pay the head."

"Hey, you're welcome, that's what I should do."

On one side, Hong Xier and Lu Tangyi secretly exchanged glances, Hong Xier: "That's right, we don't need to worry about the arrester Fu, Tang Yi, hurry up and get the things."

"Come on." Lu Tang had packed up the bills early in the morning, and at this moment he stretched out his hand: "Boss Fu, please first."

It was only after the two of them left the inn that Lu Tang realized that Fu Quan did not come by himself, and there were two servants waiting not far from the street.

"Master Fu, look at this mobilizer, I'm really bothering you."

"Well, this trip is not entirely for your business."

Lu Tang looked at him, "Is there any other business?"

Fu Quan snorted and said nothing, but he thought about how to deal with this old boy when he brought Li Zhu back for a while. He didn't like him at first, but he didn't know how he offended the eldest lady. This time he entered the yamen. Let him peel off the skin.

When Lu Tang saw this person, he knew that something was going to happen later, so he simply stopped talking, and only wanted to go to the inn to get the money back and not to worry too much about it, so as not to cause further complications.

A group of four people came to Li Zhu's house. This time it was still Li Dani who opened the door, but she was also a strange person. Seeing that Lu Tang's face was not good, she could understand it, but when she saw Fu Butou, she also seemed to be indifferent to answering. It made Lu Tangyi a little curious, does this girl have any dissatisfaction with the society?So cynical.

"Li Dani, where is your father?"

"It's inside." Li Dani didn't stop her this time, and stepped out of the way, only snorting coldly after they entered the room.

Sure enough, Li Zhu was drinking again, but this time they came early, before he had time to drink more, Fu catcher frowned and covered his nose and said, "It's broad daylight, and you don't go out to do business, so you can't survive just drinking like this !"

"Yo, Master Fu is here, come, let's sit down and have a drink together."

"Go, go, hurry up and pay back the money owed to Huanxi Inn."

"Repay the money? Pay back, what money, I have no money, the business is gone!" Li Zhu burped his wine, and the more he talked, the more confused he seemed.

"Since he and that woman had such a scandal, who would come to Liji to buy meat? They all went to Lao Dengtou in the east. Our family is waiting to starve to death." What came out of his mouth didn't look miserable at all, on the contrary there was a feeling of gloating.

The little guard next to him was puzzled: "I said Li Dani, why do I feel that you are quite happy, like watching your father joke?"

"Hmph." Li Dani sneered, and glanced at her half-drunk father: "I have nothing to be happy about, but seeing that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the natural law in the world is reincarnated."

"You son of a bitch, shut up!" Li Zhu yelled, and then he became confused again. Fu Quan looked at him like this, took the wine pot on the side and threw it down on his head.

"Oh! What are you doing? This is it! Don't!" Li Zhu thumped twice, Fu Quan threw the jug away, and gave the person behind him a look. When the ladle came back, Fu Quan took it and threw it at the person again.

"Pop! Ah! It's killing me!"

"Dang!"

Before Li Zhu could howl a few words, Fu Butou's knife was already on his neck: "Wake up early, you will suffer today, return the money first."

There was a steel handle on his neck, and his head was more awake than cold water. Li Zhu was no longer confused, and tremblingly said: "My lord, I really have no money. You can see that there is no business. My family still has money." One, one daughter needs to be raised, you can see what she can eat."

"Bah! Don't interrupt me, let's not say that you should eat and drink. In the past two years, all I spent was my mother's dowry money. When did you spend money for me!"

"Fart your mother, I spent less money to raise you so big. Look at how fat you are, I didn't feed you! You can't get married at such a big age, just stay at home and waste food, just like your damn mother , all fucking know how to gnaw on Lao Tzu's flesh and blood."

Li Dani's originally eccentric attitude was completely furious when she heard Li Zhu mention her mother. She rushed in from the door and yelled: "You should be struck by lightning! If I didn't protect my mother with all my might, my mother's life will be destroyed!" The dowry was taken by you to defeat Huo Guang! She has only been away for less than a year, and you still want to use her dowry to marry the younger one. She will live a good life while my mother is here? How much work does it take to feed your Li family? How much you beat and scold me! I'd rather go to the mountains to be an aunt than marry a bastard man like you!" Li Dani shouted in a high-pitched voice, and then pointed at the stunned head-hunting guards crowded next to her. : "Let him hide all the money under the floor tiles under the bed, how much money is owed, and get it by himself."

The four people who were shocked at the scene came back to their senses and looked at each other, before Lu Tangyi and the young guard walked around Li Dani and moved to the bed.

"Get as much as you owe, I can't spare you if you take an extra penny!"

At this moment, Li Zhu, who was stupefied, also came back to his senses, and yelled to stop him. Fu Quan raised his knife horizontally, which made him fall back down again in fright, gasping for breath, his teeth hurting: "You little white-eyed wolf, what are you doing?" Get lost! I have raised you for nothing!"

"The house belongs to my grandparents, and my mother took care of it all her life. Why do you drive me away? I also tell you that it will be mine after you die. It's useless if you don't have a son and marry a young one. Oh, that's not right, based on the situation a few days ago, maybe you are going to have a son soon, but it's not your own kind."

"Bastard! Get lost!" Li Zhu was completely furious, Fu Quan took the knife and quickly pushed him down, and then shouted at Li Dani: "Li Dani! It's over, he is your father, children don't blame their parents."

At this time, Lu Tangyi came over to open a wooden box, and there was a yard of copper coins inside.

"I haven't moved your money. Now I'm going to count out seventeen pens and four pennies. All the adults present and the officials will be witnesses." After saying that, she took out the money consistently, and opened a new coin to count out. Four hundred copper coins, after finishing these, she took out the cloth bag she had brought in advance: "I have taken care of everything, I didn't take a penny more, Miss Li, Li Zhu, this is the account book, from now on our account will be written off. "Put the list on the table, and Lu Tang put all the money into the bag.Li Zhu looked at these copper coins, his heart ached like a needle prick, and he couldn't stop cursing: "It's a supercilious bastard, it's unfortunate for the family, it's unreasonable and unjust!"

As soon as Lu Tang ignored him, he packed up his things, but when he was about to leave, he couldn't help but say a few more words: "Parents are not worthy of the virtues of being parents, so children should naturally point out their mistakes. This is not unfilial. It's true stupid filial piety. However, even if you blame your parents, you must pay attention to your attitude and words. After all, you have been born and raised, how can you add curses and curses." As she spoke, she saw that Li Dani's eyes were full of ruthlessness, He couldn't help but sigh, and his tone softened: "After all, he didn't throw you away, he raised you so well, and he didn't seem to have abused you, even though he was so bad, he must have sincerity towards you. "

Li Dani hesitated for a moment, then snorted coldly and turned her head away.As soon as Lu Tang stopped talking, he turned to pay respects to Fu Quan: "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your help today. I and the inn are very grateful. Please come and sit down if you have time."

Fu Quan stared at her, narrowed his eyes slightly and then nodded, Lu Tang left as soon as he saw the complaint.

How Mr. Fu took Li Zhu back to the Yamen to collect the punishment is a later story. It is only after Lu Tang returned to the inn and came to the inner hall that she took out the money bag. , "What's the matter? Is there something wrong? Or did Li Zhu bully you?"

"No." Hong Xi'er, who was about to get up as soon as Lu Tang stopped her, forced a smile: "It's just..." She couldn't tell the specific reason, but she just felt that Li Zhu was such a jerk and patriarchal He didn't throw Li Dani away either, and he didn't know what it was like for a while: "I miss my parents a little bit."

Hong Xi'er was taken aback for a moment, she thought it was because Li Zhu scolded some ugly words to make people unhappy, but she never thought it was the reason, and she didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

After being silent for a while, Hong Xi'er followed suit with a faint sigh: "I'm a little too, I miss my parents."

Seeing that it made people uncomfortable, Lu Tang felt a little distressed, and then she remembered that the whole inn and Yuan Yi are now without father and mother, so it looks like a large adult orphanage.

Lu Tang took her by the shoulders and hugged her into his arms, Lu Tang patted Hong Xi'er on the back silently to comfort her.Lu Tang had never met her parents before, so she couldn't think of concrete warmth and memories to fill her missing affection. But Hong Xier was different. Thinking of her deceased parents and all kinds of happiness in her childhood, she couldn't bear it. Her life is miserable and sad, her parents and grandfather took good care of her since she was a child, but now these close relatives are gone, it seems that she is the only one left alone in the vast world.

"Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, when the time comes, let's worship our parents." Lu Tang said softly, and the voice was no longer deliberately suppressed, but it still had the tenderness of a girl: "Xi'er, you still have us, do you still have us?" Qi, sister Yu, and me when you are cold, we will always be by your side."

"really?"

Getting up from her arms, Hong Xi'er looked into Lu Tangyi's eyes: "You will too, have you been here?"

Wordless and silent, the two stared at each other. After a while, Lu Tang nodded solemnly.

"Yes, you always have, me."
