The entrance examination held in Kyoto in June was the first event in the hearts of all Nanqing candidates. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Whether it is a noble person in front of people, or a new one, the two different destinies will be determined at that time.
It's early April, and there are still two months to go before the exam, but because Shicheng and Kyoto are thousands of miles apart, Zhang Hua also decided to set off early
First, it is to prevent himself from becoming in a hurry, and secondly, Zhang Hua also wants to see what Kyoto, the capital of Nanqing Kingdom, looks like.
The subordinate Zhang Yi, the housekeeper Lao Ling, the maid Luliu, and a carriage, together with Zhang Hua, the four of them also rushed to the direction of Kyoto
The journey is always the hardest and most boring, especially when Zhang Hua is trapped in the carriage, and the difficulty of mobility also makes Zhang Hua constantly sway back and forth.
"Young Master, do you want to be convenient? If so, Luliu told Steward Ling? ”
Green Willow, who was serving in the carriage, she said after she saw Zhang Hua shaking and looking like she couldn't hold back.
In this regard, Zhang Hua smiled helplessly.
Green willow is good at everything, but sometimes it is easy to get confused, although the starting point is good, but every time he speaks, Zhang Hua will feel ridiculous and a little helpless.
However, it is precisely because of this character of Green Willow that his journey is not so dull.
"No, it's just a little boring."
"Then young master, do you want to read a book to relieve your boredom?"
"No, the carriage keeps shaking, and I really don't have any thoughts."
"Oh."
Obviously, Lu Liu is a person who can talk to death, and after asking briefly, after seeing Zhang Hua didn't want to be convenient, she didn't continue to pick up stubble
It's not that Green Willow is indifferent, it's just that the habit of being a subordinate for many years, and the owner will shut up if he doesn't open his mouth, which makes Green Willow what it is today.
And at this moment, the carriage also stopped
"Young master, come down and rest, we've been walking for more than ten days, and we're about to arrive in Kyoto."
Zhang Yi's opening outside, which shocked Zhang Hua, quickly got down from the carriage, went out of the carriage, and the boredom of being bound was also swept away, making Zhang Hua feel comfortable for a while.
"Young master, I've worked hard for you, I've been doing it for so long, I'm tired, right?"
The housekeeper Lao Ling stepped forward and handed a kettle in front of the picture, on his dark face, and at this time he also showed a sincere smile.
didn't take the kettle, but signaled Lao Ling to drink it first, and Zhang Hua also shook his head and smiled
"I don't do anything every day, just stay there and have any hard work to speak of, if you want to say that it is hard work, you and Zhang Yicai are Ling Lao."
"Young master, isn't that what we do as subordinates?"
Zhang Yi said at this time, and the housekeeper Lao Ling also nodded
"Elder Ling, where are we now? How far is it from Kyoto? ”
"Young master, it's not clear where the old slave is, but after walking for seven or eight days, I'm afraid I'll enter the Kyoto range, don't talk about this, there is an inn in front, let's rest for a while and then set off."
Pointing to the inn a hundred meters away, Lao Ling also asked.
"It's fine."
Saying that, several people also walked in the direction of the inn, and when they reached the door of the inn, and after seeing the words written on it, Zhang Hua couldn't help but smile
"Tongfu Inn?"
When the familiar name appeared, Zhang Hua also felt a familiar feeling in his heart for some reason, and then entered it, and saw that there was a woman who was settling accounts inside, and Zhang Hua was also a little disappointed
"How many of you are staying overnight or eating?"
A little second with a fair face and a gray rag on his shoulder, asked Zhang Hua with a smile on his face.
When he came to the table and wiped it with his hand and saw that there was still dust on his hands, the housekeeper Lao Ling couldn't help but ask
"Little Er, how long has it been since you cleaned this inn?"
"This guest officer, look at what you said you are cleaning every day."
"If you clean it every day, can it still be dirty like this?"
"I'll clean it up right away, I'll clean it up right away,"
Saying that, Xiao Er also quickly wiped the desktop with the gray rag on his shoulder.
"Young master, why don't we change the house, I'm afraid that the food here is not clean and will spoil your stomach."
"Within a radius of three miles, just one of our inns, if you have a bad stomach and a hungry stomach, you can choose for yourself."
The female accountkeeper who has been settling accounts, after putting the abacus in place at this time, she also spoke, and Zhang Hua found that there were indeed no other villages around except this inn according to what he had seen and heard, and he also felt that what the female accountant said was true
What's more, if it's late today, if you can't find another inn, then you and others will spend it in the wild tonight?
"That's it, and I'm not a delicate person, so let's stay here tonight."
"That's fine, Xiao Er prepares three guest rooms, and at the same time feeds the horses outside the door."
"Okay, please go upstairs!"
……
The creaking stairs, and the guest rooms that were full of dust and dirt that had not been cleaned much, just after entering, the housekeeper Lao Ling felt that something was wrong.
"Green willow, how much dry food is left?"
"And a few pieces of bread."
"I will take the bread to the young master, and at the same time warn the young master not to eat the food they prepared."
After feeling that Lao Ling's face was a little wrong, Lu Liu was also a little flustered, and after looking at Lu Liu who looked like this, Lao Ling also continued to her after a pause
"Tonight, you live with the young master, if the young master asks, you say that it is what I said, and hide all the entanglements on your body, even when you are asleep."
"I ...... I know. ”
Speaking of Green Willow, she also immediately went to look for Zhang Hua, and at this time Zhang Yi looked at Lao Ling, and he also said uneasily
"Elder Ling, what's wrong?"
"I suspect there's something wrong with this store, maybe it's a black store?"
"Black shop? Then let's go at once."
"No, we have been targeted now, and if we leave immediately, we may be afraid that you and they will act faster, so I can't take care of the young master's safety at night
There are only a few people in the inn now, and if we are careful, we may be able to make it through...... I hope my hunch is wrong. ”
Lao Ling said worriedly.
Although there was no direct evidence, the hunch in his heart and the situation in front of him made him worried
An inn that is almost deserted, and two fair-skinned men and a woman who seem to have been pampered and raised.
Although the clothes are a little shabby, the feet of the shopkeeper who don't make much noise when he walks, all of this shows that something is wrong
Especially the sentence that the female accountant said before made Lao Ling suspect that there was such an inn within a radius of three miles.
You brought the inn to such a remote place, could it be that you are sick? Could it be that it is really a panic that burns too much money?
