Chapter 12: What a Thousand Men Refer To
Chapter 12 What the Thousand Husband Refers To
The shopkeeper logged in the information, returned the road guide to Chen Tang, and said with a smile: "Childe, according to the old man's observation, I'm afraid it will rain for two days, I don't know how many days Childe is going to live in the shop?"
Chen Tang smiled, took out a gold from his arms, and said with it in his hand: "As long as the store is serving good wine and food, this money is not a problem, and when I want to leave, I will naturally settle with you......"
Saying that, he threw the gold in his hand to the shopkeeper, who had been staring at the gold in Chen Tang's hand for a long time, and when he saw Chen Tang throwing the gold over, he immediately caught the gold, took it in front of the oil lamp and looked at it carefully, and then put it in his mouth to bite it to identify the authenticity, and after confirming that the gold was real, he hurriedly patted his chest and said: "Childe, don't worry, the shop guarantees that you can eat comfortably and live at ease!"
"There's a Lao shop." Chen Tang took off his wet coat and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Please ask the shopkeeper to dry my clothes and then prepare a clean dress for me."
The shopkeeper took the coat and wanted to touch it with his hand, but he was afraid of damaging the clothes, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How can there be such precious clothes in the small shop, looking at the handmade fabric, I'm afraid it will not be less than a few gold, even if the son sells the small shop, he can't change this dress."
"The store misunderstood." Chen Tang said: "The clean clothes I said are dry clothes, as long as you can wear them, lest the wind blow cold ...... in the middle of the night."
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Childe is really good at laughing, then the old man will go to prepare clothes for Childe."
The shopkeeper took the soup to a guest room and turned to leave.
After a while, a guy knocked on the door with a basin of hot water and walked in.
………… Dividing line ............
It rained for two days and two nights, and it wasn't until the third day that the sky gradually cleared.
Chen Tang was about to get moldy in the guest house, and when he saw that the sky was getting clear and the sun was shining, he immediately withdrew from the accommodation and led the horse to leave.
But he thought that he had no change on him, and if he lived in the inn next time, wouldn't he have to take gold again, so he turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "The shopkeeper is going to settle the bill quickly, take a whole number and give it to Ben Gongzi, and the rest will be counted as Ben Gongzi rewarding you."
"Okay son." The shopkeeper took out the account book, read the contents on it and said, "Childe lived in the small shop for two days, ordered a lot of wine and meat, as well as grain and grass for horses, and spent a total of six hundred and seventy yuan!"
Chen Tang said disapprenously: "Well, take a whole nine hanging money, and reward the rest to you."
The shopkeeper was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, thank you, Childe......" As he spoke, he took out nine hangings of money from the cash cabinet and handed it to Chen Tang, who grabbed the nine hangings of money and stuffed it into his baggage............
A few days later, Chen Tang rode a horse to Banqiu County, Shanyang County, Chen Tang did not have the idea of being closer to home, and followed his memory to the pavilion where he used to live.
Chen Tang's family is not a local person in Fangqiu County, belongs to the foreign population, Chen Tang's grandfather fled here a few decades ago, has been very low-key, never told outsiders about his origins, but his son - that is, Chen Tang's father often told the state people that he was Qu Rebellion Hou Chen Ping, the state people often sneered, and ridiculed him for being shameless, so angry that Chen Tang's father took out the family tree to testify, the state people still did not believe it, laughing at him for climbing high branches and blindly recognizing his ancestors......
When Chen Tang was a child, he often heard that he admired the deeds of his ancestors, and he dreamed day and night that the emperor would remember the achievements of his ancestors one day and restore him to the title, but unfortunately he could not let his wish come true until after his death......
Chen Tang led the horse and walked on the country road, and the people who were walking in the fields with farm tools looked over one after another, their expressions restrained and uneasy......
An old farmer put down his farm tools, wiped his hands on the back of his buttocks, trotted all the way to Chen Tang, and asked tremblingly: "Childe, the villain is the Lizheng here, I don't know where Childe came from, what is the reason for coming to this poor and remote place?"
Chen Tang looked at Li Zheng, but Li Zheng hooked his head and didn't dare to raise his head, his legs trembled a little, his hands didn't know where to put them, and he stood there motionless in panic.
Lizheng Zhang Hu - Chen Tang has some impressions, relying on himself to be Lizheng, he has always looked down on Chen Tang's father and son, the two outsiders, and led the villagers to suppress the Chen family, not allowing the Chen family to go up the mountain to cut wood and go down to the river to fish, wanting to expel the two foreign surnames Chen Tang and his son in this way.
Chen Tang didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of person, and walked over directly with the horse, Li Zheng Zhang Hu followed with anxiety, nodded and smiled: "Childe, it doesn't look like a local, but it's from the capital!"
"Oh!"
Chen Tang left his hometown in Chang'an when he was sixteen years old, and now it has been three years, and Chen Tang has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past three years, from the previous yellow muscle slimming to today's majestic and heroic, if it is not a close person, no one can find out that he is Chen Tang.
Chen Tang said quietly: "Apart from me, there are others who are willing to come to this poor and remote place......
Li Zheng Zhang Hu laughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Childe doesn't know, although this place is a little remote, but the folk customs are simple, not to mention, two people from the capital came two months ago......
"Oh......" Chen Tang asked lightly, "What are they doing here?"
Li Zheng Zhang Hu looked a little strange, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No...... Nothing, just a casual stroll around and then left......"
Chen Tang turned around, Zhang Hu took a few steps back, Chen Tang's eyes were angry, and he scolded unhappily: "Say!"
Although it is just a word "say", the tone is powerful and domineering, which makes people dare not resist in their hearts, and their heads are like chickens pecking rice: "Yes...... Be...... The villain said...... The villain said, just to ask about the situation of our Chen Tang. ”
"Sure enough......" Chen Tang said secretly in his heart, so he asked, "Then how did you reply to them?"
Li Zheng Zhang Hu was frightened, and said honestly: "The villain answered truthfully."
Chen Tang had frost on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "What did you tell them, 1510 honestly explain to me......"
"The villain just said that he was unruly and not known as the state, and then ............" Li Zheng Zhang Hu was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and explained everything in one go, and then secretly saw Chen Tang's more and more anger, this one reacted, and shouted: "You...... You are Chen Tang......"
Li Zheng Zhang Hu got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, spit on it, and scolded angrily: "Dressed like a human and a dog, who are you here to scare, and where did you come from with your clothes and this horse, didn't you steal it, God...... The face of our village has been lost by you, a person with a foreign surname, and everyone in our village has been pointed at by other people when they go out, and they are all harmed by you......"
Zhang Hu made a fuss, and the entire villagers rushed over, all pointing at Chen Tang, and saying foul language in his mouth, which made Chen Tang feel that he should have done something angry and resentful, otherwise he would not be pointed at by thousands of people!
