The scorching sun is in the sky, and the streets and alleys are bustling with people.

Drunken Immortal Residence

Ling Zhuang, Ling Zhi, Qian Million, and Qian Duishan stood at the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence, holding the invitation card in their hands and the gift list one by one, and read aloud: "The shopkeeper of Renhetang sent two ginseng ...... gifts"

"Jirentang ......"

After the shopkeepers of the pharmacy went in one by one, when several people saw the last invitation, their faces were displeased, and they glared at the people who came and read weakly: "The shopkeeper of Baicaotang Cao has arrived ......"

The shopkeepers who had already sat down in the lobby of the Drunken Immortal Residence, when they heard the shopkeeper Cao of Baicao Hall, looked towards the door in unison, each showing a look of disdain.

"Cut! I don't know how thick the sky is, and the toad wants to eat swan meat......"

"What Shopkeeper Sun said is that there is a miracle doctor who doesn't treat him well, but he just thinks about those dirty things, and he used to think that their father and son were good people, but this time, it is more hateful than those scoundrels in the market."

……

It was the flower lily who presided over the opening, and the flower lily was kind-hearted, although she was a little unhappy with what happened before, but she didn't hold a grudge against their father and son.

Hearing that the father and son of the Cao family came, they didn't care too much, they were guests. Flower Lily was only slightly stunned, and then greeted it.

Regardless of how everyone entered the table, it was said that Ling Yun at this time was walking on the street with Sun Yaozu and Long Tianyang with their hands behind their backs, dressed as a handsome son, and when he looked at it, he thought it was the son of a rich family.

Long Tianyang, who was behind him, came to Ling Yun's side, lowered his voice and said, "Engong, I don't know how to choose the Flying Eagle Guards?" Could the villain join in as well? ”

Ling Yun stood still, turned around and looked at Long Tianyang, who had basically recovered and his body had recovered as before, and said with a slight smile; "Soldier questions are slowly searching, haven't you ever taken the Wujin exam? It's up to you to be the head of the sect and teach them how to fight, bow and arrow, etc. ”

"Really?" Long Tianyang looked surprised, and asked in disbelief: "Can the villain really still serve in the army?" ”

Ling Yun reached out and gently patted Long Tianyang's thick arm, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Okay!" We will also go to the Drunken Immortal Residence for a good meal in a while, and tomorrow we will let go of the news and let the military households of the thousands of households rush to the capital division, and then we will inevitably trouble you more. ”

Long Tianyang smiled, respectfully hugged his fist at Ling Yun and said: "The villain was able to save his life thanks to the help of the son, even if the son let the villain go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, the villain will not frown, don't say so in the future." ”

A few people were talking and laughing on the street, and suddenly, they were attracted by a couplet, only to see that the couplet on the couplet was: smoke lock pond willow. The next link is: lamp inlaid wine shop.

Seeing the couplet in front of him, Ling Yun was also shocked and said, "Isn't this my couplet?" Why did someone come out? And it's so neat. ”

Ling Yun was startled at first, then recovered his expression, and looked carefully at the person who sold the couplet, only to see that this person had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a garlic nose, a square mouth, a slightly emaciated face, slightly darkened skin, medium height, wearing a linen robe, which was already patched and patched, and a pair of broken straw shoes on his feet, which looked extremely poor.

I saw a broken table in front of this person, on which were placed the four treasures of the study, and some of them had written couplets.

Perhaps because no one came, the man sat on a bench on the table, basking in the sun and squinting and napping.

Just when Ling Yun didn't know why and frowned and watched, Sun Yaozu behind him stepped forward and asked in a whisper, "Childe wants to write a letter?" ”

After listening to the words that Ling Yun was about to leave, he realized and said, "Oh! Feelings: This is to help people write and eat! But it's beautifully written. ”

Taking two steps forward, Ling Yun came to the stall, pointed to the couplet on the table, and said, "Is this couplet from you?" ”

The poor man slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ling Yun and said weakly, "It's ......"

Ling Yun reached out and gently grabbed the couplet on the table, and asked while admiring it; "How do you sell this couplet?"

Seeing that someone asked about the couplet, the poor man was a little weak, so he did not speak, but raised his hand and stretched out five fingers, which means: "Five copper plates." ”

Ling Yun didn't understand the meaning of his fingers, besides, Ling Yun, who had never been short of money to spend, didn't know the concept in the hearts of these poor people at all, and according to his personal understanding, he nodded and said, "Hmm! Five taels of silver, not expensive, not expensive. ”

When the person who sold the couplet heard it, he was not happy in his heart, and when he looked at Ling Yun, he rolled his eyes, and his face changed slightly; "Okay! Dare you not come to buy couplets? Are you here to entertain me? is such a couplet, actually said five taels of silver, five big money has not been bought! ”

Ling Yun saw the face of the person who sold the couplet, and his heart was also embarrassed, and he blushed and said: "Scholars value the most face, the ancients said that a word is a thousand gold, maybe I have less money?" I lost other people's face, so they would show me a face. ”

Ling Yun stretched out his hand and scratched his forehead, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Oh! If it's not five taels, it's fifty taels! Well, fifty taels isn't too expensive. ”

This time, the person who sold the couplet didn't do it, dragged his weak body to "rub", swayed, stood up, stared at Ling Yun tightly, and said: "I said that this son, don't bring such a pastime!" Fifty taels? Do you dare to buy this couplet? ”

Ling Yun smiled slightly, looked at the poor sour man who sold couplets and said, "As long as you dare to sell, I dare to buy it." ”

After finishing speaking, he snapped his fingers at Sun Yaozu behind him.

Seeing this, Sun Yaozu reached into his arms and took out a bill of exchange with a denomination of fifty taels (similar to the silver bill in the future, one meaning.) It was handed to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun took the bill of exchange, still with the same smiling face, and handed the bill of exchange in his hand forward: "I don't have any cash on me, this is a bill of exchange of fifty taels, and it can be cashed in any money bank in the capital......

Before Ling Yun's words fell, the person who sold the couplet respectfully hugged his fist at Ling Yun and said, "Childe misunderstood, he can't ask for so much silver." ”

Ling Yun frowned, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Oh! Why? ”

The man who sold the couplet shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Before, I stretched out five fingers, which meant to sell five big money, but Childe said five taels of silver, and thought that Childe was entertaining me, so I was a little disliked, and the next Childe said that it was sold for fifty taels, which made me think that Childe was entertaining me, so there was such a thing, Childe's fifty taels, I would never dare to accept it." ”

When Ling Yun heard this, he immediately understood, looked at the person in front of him for a long time and said: "They are all poor to this point, but they are still upright and gentlemen, and they are open-minded, such a person is really rare." ”

Thinking of this, Ling Yun pointed to the couplet on the table and said, "I don't know what this brother is called?" If the lower couplet of this couplet is really from Brother Tai, then the shopkeeper of Drunken Immortal House has set a reward of fifty taels of silver, why didn't Brother Tai go to collect it? And it has fallen to this point. ”

The man who sold the couplet shook his head and smiled bitterly; "It's a shame to say that he is a scholar in Shandong, surnamed Zhang Minggui, and his brother is a brother. Several times I entered Beijing to get fame in the examination, but I didn't have a chance to win the gold list, and I was unlucky, and I broke my hand and couldn't write when I entered the examination room for the first time. The second time was blocked by a downpour, so I didn't get to the capital to finish the exam. In the third year, he fell ill directly in the drunken immortal residence, thanks to the shopkeeper's take-in, together with the food money of the medicine shop, he owed dozens of taels, fortunately the shopkeeper offered a few couplets in the store, so that I was fortunate to have a pair, and got fifty taels of silver to repay the store meal account, but now it is even more impoverished, in the past ten years, repeatedly three times to take the imperial examination but even the examination room can not enter, now can only set up a stall to help people write letters, change a few copper plates, and wait for this year's autumn. ”

After listening to this, Ling Yun said in his heart: "This buddy is really good enough, but looking at his personality, he is not a big traitor, he is named Zhang Luodi, isn't it that he has to fall behind every time he takes a scientific expedition." It seems that I am not the unluckiest person in the world, and there are others who are more unlucky than me. ”

After a while, Ling Yun smiled slightly, hugged his fist at Zhang Gui and said: "Brother Luo, seeing each other is fate, now I know that there is a yamen who happens to find a clerk, the official position is not big, but it is also from the sixth grade, if you are interested, we might as well go to the drunken heart house to discuss, I don't know what Brother Luo wants?" ”

Zhang Gui showed a hint of embarrassment and said: "Childe doesn't know, I used to set up a stall at the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence every day, but today the Drunken Immortal Residence was chartered to entertain guests, and we can't get in!" ”

Ling Yun smiled and waved his hand and said: "No defense, just right, I have not been to the Drunken Immortal Residence for some time, and I salivate when I think of the Buddha jumping over the wall and my daughter Hong." ”

Speaking of the Buddha jumping over the wall, Ling Yun inadvertently touched his stomach, since yesterday's test flight glider, he ate some pastries and a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup in the palace in the morning, that bit of food, for a person who has been hungry for several meals, it will not play any role at all, this will mention the Buddha jumping over the wall, immediately hungry.

Although Zhang Gui has been to the capital many times, he has never tasted a bite of Buddha jumping over the wall, mainly because the Buddha jumping over the wall is too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it at all. Now hearing Ling Yun say this, it also arouses the gluttony in his stomach.

But after thinking about it, today's drunken immortal residence was chartered by others, and I heard that the backstage is very hard, the backstage of the person who chartered the drunken immortal residence is red and purple in front of the emperor, and the emperor has also rewarded the gold medal for avoiding death, such as I came to the gold medal in person, and even more so that people dare to beat the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the scholar of Dongge University, such a person has chartered the drunken immortal residence, if he rushes in, it will not be asking for trouble.

After Zhang Gui told Ling Yun about his worries, he said with an embarrassed expression: "Childe, I'm afraid it's not good to go in rashly, let's wait for the banquet to disperse before going in." ”

"Poof"

After listening to this, Ling Yun smiled and said to Zhang Gui: "Brother Luo don't worry, let's go to send a congratulatory gift, then can't we go in?" Moreover, the wine and food inside are not to be enjoyed casually. ”

After listening to this, Zhang Gui nodded and said, "Yes, but I am persistent!" What's more, a son can casually introduce a six-rank official to himself, and his identity must be extraordinary, at least it may be a certain Shangshu son. ”

Zhang Gui followed Lingyun to the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence, only to see that the Drunken Immortal Residence was very lively, and the people in the lobby, old and young, were all richly dressed, not to mention forty or fifty people, chatting with each other.

But the next scene directly made Zhang Gui speechless, only to see Ling Yun just walked to the door of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and the four strong men (Ling Zhuang, Ling Zhi, Qian Duishan, Qian Million) who were waiting to receive guests at the door gave Ling Yun a respectful salute.

What surprised Zhang Gui even more was that even the flower lily who chartered the Drunken Immortal Residence this time greeted Ling Yun in person.

At this time, Zhang Gui looked at Ling Yunxin with a puzzled expression and said, "What is the identity of this son?"

Just when Zhang Gui was thinking, Ling Yun smiled at Hua Lily and said, "You are busy first, I have a guest here, prepare a private room for me." ”

Hua Lily smiled and pouted, "Hmm! The slave family will do it. ”
