Under the blessing of Master Qianhu, Mingyue Inn is flourishing and its business is booming. The accountant was hired, and the inn recruited waiters and kitchen masters, and all the excitement was hidden behind Chunfuli.At first glance, the Mingyue Inn is still a small façade in a corner. When you enter the room, there is only one bill collection counter and a small square table. It is just right for two people to drink, but it is too crowded for four people. If there are more guests, they will move to the spring. After Fuli, or simply leave.It turned out that when the noodle restaurant was opened, there were still three small tables, and the big stoves for the fire were placed on the street outside. If there was a strong wind in winter and heavy rain in summer, the stove would have to be moved into the house, and the small table would be removed, and it would be extremely crowded. .After Su Mingyue's transformation, the carved wooden screen under the porch was half-hidden, and a wisteria was transplanted here. In addition to the small stove for cooking wine in the house, if you want to eat and drink, you have to go to the big kitchen at the back of Chunfuli, so this The small facade almost only drinks wine, tea and fruits, and does not serve hot dishes during the day, so that the whole room looks very bright, with vases and incense burners placed on the wall in Duobao Pavilion, and a few strange tales are written in the corner.

At the beginning, Erniang Shen wanted to set up a few more tables, leaving the business alone, arty, who would patronize here?It is unimaginable that there are so many inns and taverns in Songcheng, all of which are for the reception of merchants and military masters. This elegant place is only the Mingyue Inn, and even the guards in Chunfuli next to them folded their hands on their chests, facing the newcomer. Neighbors are puzzled.After all, Cailian came from the palace of the capital. The surrounding inns and taverns were instantly compared with the official words. Some self-esteemed guests did not want to live in the ordinary inn, so they came to have a look, only to find that the inner world was different.After entering the room at the back of Chunfuli, one can see that although the furnishings inside are simple, even the teacups and bowls on the table are very elegant, and it looks like they are from official kilns.

Even Chang Qinghe came to have a look at the Mingyue Inn when he heard about it, but instead of going in, he went directly to the barracks to call Dong Liu out, and scolded him again, "The border guards will be military households, and you can't do business without permission. Don't you know the law and break the law?"

Dong Liu respectfully cupped his fists and bowed, "My lord, this Mingyue Inn is run by Shen Erniang, and her son is a martyr who was invaded by the Mongols during the grain harvest a few days ago and died in a bloody battle. My wife and she are neighbors, look She is a widow living alone in Baishui Town, looking for a place to live and die all day long, so she gave her the idea to open this small shop. At that time, all the brothers in our camp went to help her repair houses and tiles, I think it should be Yes, I don't care whether she is a military household or not. If Master Chang thinks it's inappropriate, how about I ask my wife to tell her and let her give the store to someone else?"

What he said was watertight, so that Chang Qinghe had no room to refute. If he was not forgiving, he seemed to be having trouble with the fallen martyrs. Wouldn't it be cold to the hearts of the border soldiers?

Chang Qinghe came and walked even faster, he was busy with military affairs, and he had other things to do. Li Mingtang went to his mansion and muttered a few more words, and then he drove off. On tour.The movement of the Mongols has not yet been finished, and he did not give an explanation to the court, which is also a disadvantage in his work. Later, when he patrolled [-] miles to the west, it is said that he found a breach behind an inconspicuous ridge, so he often Qinghe asked the imperial court to approve a sum of money to collect corvees, buy stones and soil, and build fortifications, and finally made up for this hole.This is a later story.

That day, Dong Liu and Li Mingtang sat down at the small entrance of the Mingyue Inn next to Chunfuli, drinking and having supper together. It was hot summer, and Hong Ling even brought iced sour plum soup from the back kitchen to relieve the heat for the two of them.While eating and drinking, he couldn't help talking about Mu Shisan who lived in the next door in Chunfu.

After eating and drinking, the two walked out the door, and Dong Liu asked, "Where is cousin Ming going to go for a stroll?"

"Go to the brothel!" The voice was like Hong Zhong, "together?"

"Let's go!" He said confidently.

The two tacitly agreed to go to the brothel, and they were visiting the brothel for the country by order, and their reputation was very scary.After drinking the wine and gaining courage, Liang Guanjing, a female empress who disguised herself as a man, and Li Mingtang, who had no choice but to be masculine and never approached women, thought that God knew and knew that others didn't know, and Li Mingtang, the five-rank inspector and emissary, held hands and walked towards each other. Chun Fuli walked.

When they came to the front, they felt that it was not appropriate to hold hands, so they let go of each other.

The gatekeeper took a look at the two of them, Li Mingtang was scared immediately, Dong Liu was a familiar neighbor, the guard just watched, but didn't stop them, so the two of them forced themselves to go in with a swaying look up.

I saw that the main entrance is not big, but there is a hole in the sky when you enter it. Several peach trees are planted in the courtyard, and lanterns are hung in front of and behind the trees, forming an interesting contrast.At this time, the peaches were barely ripe, they were huge and delicious, and looked mouthwatering, but no one picked them.Bypassing the barriers, the open hall is full of guests. There are dancers from the Western Regions dancing with their waists twisted in revealing clothes. There are lights and festoons everywhere. This is even more gorgeous than the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in the capital. .A few men and women were chatting in the corner. The men looked like merchants, and the women were kiln sisters. There was a woman in her early forties, wearing gold and silver. It's the bustard.

Seeing the arrival of the two strangers, the old bustard hurriedly left the man and woman who were talking, and walked over to say hello, "It's your first visit, you two distinguished guests?" As she spoke, she looked at Dong Liu carefully, raised her eyebrows, Le Dao, "Isn't this Mr. Dong Liu from the house next door! Oh, what wind brought Mr. Liu into our Spring Fortune?"

Dong Liu cleared his throat, "Why do you call the neighbor's Mr. Dong Liu? When did I become the next door?"

The old bustard patted his shoulder blades with her hand, "Er Niang Shen told me that it is not convenient for you military households to open the door for business, so I asked her to be the shopkeeper. I understand, I understand! The sixth master's house Is your wife going to give birth? I understand, I understand, I won't tell your wife."

Dong Liudao: "My wife asked me to come."

"Ah, yo, your wife is really reasonable, I understand, I understand. Come, come, Chunmeiqiuju, come out to welcome guests." The old bustard waved the handkerchief, and after a while, two girls came down from upstairs. The kiln sister is indeed dressed in a more elegant style, and it is the fashionable dress of Qinlou and Chuguan in the capital, but her appearance does not deserve the title of the first kiln in Songcheng.And maybe the business is booming, when the girl came out, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, her neckline was not buttoned properly, and she didn't plan to button it, she just half-opened and almost exposed her breasts.

Dong Liu and Li Mingtang looked at each other, the red-shirted Chunmei had already pounced on Dong Liu, "Ah, this official looks handsome, are you here to whore, or to be prostituted?"

The old bustard poked Chunmei's forehead with her handkerchief finger, "Don't be rude! Dong Liuye is our old acquaintance."

"Acquaintance? I don't look familiar?" Qiu Ju tactfully held Li Mingtang's arms, as if afraid that he would run away.

Then Chunmei giggled coquettishly, like a hen, "It's the first time for this old acquaintance to come to our Spring Fortune, so he's a new customer, for you are so pretty, How about I let you go whoring for nothing today?"

"Then respect is worse than obedience." Dong Liu squeezed out a smile, hugged her and went upstairs, then turned back to Li Mingtang and said: "Cousin Ming, please do what you want."

Li Mingtang was in a hurry, and he didn't care if Qiu Ju was still entangled in his arms, so he followed Dong Liu in two or three steps, "Don't worry, Master Liu, take the brothers with you."

He usually only called Dong Liu Brother Zhongjin, but now he was panicked by talking about Liu Ye, but in fact Dong Liu was not much better, so he really stopped and waited for him.

The old bustard laughed, and said to the others: "The two masters are quite fun, Chunmei Qiuju has to serve you."

The two of them were brought into the wing room upstairs. In the next room, there were prostitutes and kiln sisters swaying upside down. The obscene and evil voices came clearly, which was simply unbearable.The girls' slender hands were about to reach out to undress them, but Dong Liu dodged it with a deft hand, and instead cut Chunmei's hands backwards. Li Mingtang imitated him without saying a word.

Then Chunmei Qiuju cried out expectantly, "What is the official doing?"

Dong Liu said with a smile: "My lord likes to play something different. Your usual hospitality is all hypocritical and not rare."

When Chunmei heard this, her complexion changed slightly, but she wasn't afraid, anyway, this is Chunfuli, and Dong Liu is so handsome, they can't play too far.If you learn this new trick well, you can learn it and sell it to other benefactors tomorrow. "Those two masters are going to play some new tricks, let's hear it."

Dong Liu threw Chunmei on the bed, and Li Mingtang also threw Qiu Ju on the bed.

Dong Liudao: "Take it off, put your arms together and show us both."

Chunmei Qiuju looked at each other, "Two women, fake phoenixes, what should I do?"

Dong Liu grinned grimly, and pushed Li Mingtang forward, "Then let's play a double-fly first."

Li Mingtang was so frightened that he pissed off, covered his chest and collar and jumped off the bed, "Come on, come on, I'll just observe."

Dong Liu stared, "Anyway, I will give the money, will you do it?"

There is no money to do anything, Chunmei Qiuju really took off and hugged each other in twos and twos, humming and chirping in a hypocritical demonstration, Li Mingtang felt that he hadn't seen it, and turned around to check the furnishings in the house , The room next door is reaching its innocence, and the movement is even bigger.

Chunmei Qiuju twisted into a twisted pattern, first she looked back at Dong Liu satisfied and dissatisfied, and seeing Dong Liu also dropped them and looked up at the sky and looked down at the ground, and then she couldn't help but burst into a "puchi" laugh, "Second Won't the officials come together? It's so hot in my house!"

"Since it's hot, wouldn't it be even hotter if the two of you come again, you continue, we both like this tune."

Dong Liu sat down, poured himself some tea, and felt that the teacup seemed to be left by the previous whore-client, so he couldn't drink any more. Seeing this, Li Mingtang quickly opened the door and poked his head out to greet the young man on duty at the entrance of the corridor. : "Dude, serve us tea."

After a while, clean teacups and bowls came over, and the servant didn't shy away from it. He thought he was used to all kinds of battles, so he went into the room and served tea to the two of them, without even looking at Chunmei who was busy on the bed. Qiuju.

Dong Liu calmly drank his tea, while Li Mingtang cautiously accompanied him and drank too.

A live erotic palace was playing like this, Chunmei Qiuju said while busy, "This is a new trick you are talking about?"

Dong Liudao: "The tricks are for you to perform and watch, and you can figure it out on your own. If you want me to teach, should you pay for it, or should we pay for it?"

While the girls were playing, Dong Liu looked at the furnishings in the room one by one, and then looked up and down, recalling the passages before entering the wing room.

"Okay, stop acting, stop." Li Mingtang couldn't stand it anymore, "I have something to ask you."

Chunmei wrapped her bellyband around her and wrapped it up in silk, "What do the officials want to ask? Don't just ask how old my family is this year."

Li Mingtang rolled his eyes, "I'm not interested in this, I want to know, where is the official Mu Shisanmu in Chunfu?"

"Mu Shisan?" Chunmei wondered, "I've never heard of it!"

Qiu Ju rolled her eyes at her sister, feeling that she was too good at acting, "Both of you want to inquire about Mu Shisan?"

"Tell me everything you know. If you know everything, you will be rewarded." Dong Liu took out a piece of silver from his sleeve as he spoke.

Qiu Ju said: "Mr. Mu did come here when he was young, and he only stayed for one night before leaving."

Dong Liudao: "Which girl is accompanying us, we want to see that girl."

"The one who will accompany Mr. Mu to spend the night is our Huakui lady Qian Shanxue, but the price of Qian Shanxue is not low."

Li Mingtang said: "Let that Qianshan snow girl come over."

But Dong Liu stopped him with a gesture, which seemed to be a way to cheat money, "But some people say that this Mu Shisan has been living in the kiln, you should think about it and say, if there are lies, I will tell you This brother Li is the son of a Lian family, so I guarantee that a good meal will make you unable to receive customers for ten and a half months."

Chunmei smiled to defuse the embarrassment, "It seems that the two officials are not benefactors, but came to the court to try the case." She suddenly rushed forward to probe Dong Liu's crotch, "Anyway, you spent money today, how about Let the slave family serve and judge the case."

Dong Liu's legs were clamped, but the girl also had a few tricks. Although her martial arts foundation was weak, she touched Dong Liu up and down, and couldn't touch her chest and crotch. But when she got closer to the teasing, Chunmei could see The clues come.

"Dong Liuye is protecting the Mingyue Inn next door. I heard he is an adult from a thousand households?" Chunmei giggled, now she looked more like an old hen, and she leaned into Qiu Ju's ear and whispered something, and Qiu Ju took notice. Come to see Dong Liu, with a suspicious look on his face.

Chunmei said again: "At least thirty or fifty adults from thousands of households have passed under my crotch. It's the first time I've seen you like this! Today I must ride you!"

Dong Liu took out another ingot of silver from his sleeve and slapped it on the table, "Cousin Ming, I can't ask you anything, let's go."

The two fled to the street outside. Dong Liu stomped his feet and couldn't help swearing, "Stealing chickens won't make you lose money!"

Li Mingtang nodded, "The women in the kiln are really scary!"
