Chapter 23: Chu Yan

Wang Yun looked at the young man who was eating happily in amazement.

"Didn't you say you didn't eat this?" He asked.

"Woo, who said not to eat it, woo, you bought it, I want to eat it, that's not sorry for your feelings." The young man said while eating, and suddenly he raised his head, looked at Wang Yun in surprise, and said, "You don't still care about the two rock sugar gourds, do you?" ”

"I ......" Wang Yun was a little speechless, how did this become his own.

"No, you're a man on horseback, if you really want to eat, you better buy it again, these two strings are already mine, you can't grab them!" The young man hid the sugar gourd behind him and said to Wang Yun.

"Hey, little ghost, I bought it for you, and I'll rob you!" Wang Yun was amused by him, and he patted the young man's head.

"Let's go, little ghost, I'll find you something to do, see that you don't have the material to eat, and no one will give you a copper plate after squatting here for a long time." Wang Yun rolled his eyes, and felt that this young man was extraordinary in conversation and clever in behavior, but he had a heart of love for talent, and if he helped him now, maybe he would be able to gain something.

"What's the matter? It's too hard for me to do it. The young man was not too excited when he heard Wang Yun's words, but asked calmly.

"It's not difficult, do you see my horse, this is a good horse, after a while, I will find an inn for two days, I will leave the horse in the inn for these two days, but I don't trust them very much, so how about you help me watch the horse for two days? Don't worry, I will never lose you, I will give you 5 silver coins a day, how about it? "Wang Yun said his thoughts, although this is to help the young man think of a temporary idea, but he does have this kind of idea, 'Painting Mei' is a top war horse, as the saying goes, 'not afraid of 10,000, just in case', if someone really took it away, Wang Yun regretted it. Of course, this is just his idea, and the 'painting plum' who has been beaten a few times in a row said that as a proud top war horse, if it will be taken away by a few thieves, it will be a real loss of death.

"Well, that's not good." The young man was embarrassed, it was not that he was dissatisfied with doing this, but that he felt that it was not good for him to let Wang Yun break the cost.

"What, don't you think you have enough money? If you have more, you will be sorry for the wages. Wang Yun saw that the young man seemed to be unwilling, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, and said.

"No, no, it's 5 silver that's too much. I'm going to let you ...... a lot of money," the teenager explained.

"Oh? Don't worry, 5 silver coins is not a small amount for you, but for me, it is a drop in the bucket, it is not very useful, and you think that you are not worth the salary of 5 silver coins, I also think that 5 silver coins can hire you to show me a day horse, I am the earnest! ”

"Alright then, I'll be sure to take care of the horse." The young man's face was certain, and he said like a gamble.

"Let's go." Wang Yun led the horse and walked in front, and the young man followed. When passers-by saw the young beggar's dress, most of them avoided it.

"What's your name?" On the way, Wang Yun asked.

"Chu Yan." The young man replied casually, he was a little depressed, although he had experienced the eyes of pedestrians many times, but this time he walked beside Wang Yun, he felt particularly uncomfortable, he had been reduced to begging for a living, despised by most people, it seemed that he really had to think about himself in the future, at least he would see this big brother again in the future, and he could also say loudly, 'I didn't live up to your sugar gourd!' ’

"Chicks, son? It's just a nickname, don't you have another official name? ”

"It's not that, it's Chu from Chu Shaosun." The boy discerned.

"Oh. My name is Wang Yun. Although Wang Yun didn't know who Chu Shaosun was, he also understood that he had misunderstood, people's Chu Ke was a surname, not an adjective in his imagination, and 'Chu Yan' was not a nickname as he thought.

"Huh? Is this a tailor's shop? Chu Yan, come, follow me. Wang Yun saw a tailor shop in front of him, his eyes lit up, he pulled Chu Yan, and walked in. He also noticed the eyes of passers-by looking at the young man, he couldn't change the pedestrian's mind, but buying a set of clothes for Chu Yan was not worth mentioning.

"I don't know if this son needs anything?" The tailor shop is not big, and there are not many people in it, only two women, seeing someone come in, the young one greeted him, his tone was not warm, but he was not stiff, of course, his face was not very good-looking, because she saw a beggar following Wang Yun into the store.

"I wonder if your store has any ready-made clothes for teenagers?" Wang Yun didn't say much, and asked directly.

"Yes." The woman replied.

"Then get me two sets of fitted ones for my little brother."

"I'm afraid this can't meet Childe's requirements." And the woman listened to Wang Yun's request, and immediately said in embarrassment.

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Childe doesn't know, our store is small and thin, and we can't make too many finished clothes, so basically there is only one set of various finished clothes, most of the time we make customized clothes, and now there is only one set of young people's clothes, and it is not guaranteed to fit." The woman answered Wang Yun's doubts.

"That's right...... Let's take that set of clothes first, let my little brother put it on, if it still fits, then change it, if it's really too different from my brother's figure, then forget it. Wang Yun can still understand these small shops.

"Brother Wang, you don't need to buy me clothes, I'm just showing you the horse, you don't have to worry so much about me." At this time, Chu Yan interjected, Wang Yun was good to him, he was very grateful, and he didn't want Wang Yun to break too much, because he knew that he was destined not to follow him, at least not for the time being, he had to go back to where he came from, and he still had a big revenge to be avenged.

"Brother, what you say is very wrong, what do you mean that you are just looking at the horse, what is wrong with the horse, is the person who looks at the horse not a person? You're just having a bad time, but don't bury yourself. Besides, how can you not need to buy clothes, even if I don't buy them for you, you must buy them yourself, 'people rely on clothes, horses and saddles', you know? There are too many mediocre people in this world, most of them look at people from their appearance, because of this, the important surname of the dress is reflected, you see that you are wearing a beggar's clothes, few people are looking at you, but if you are wearing a brocade dress, then absolutely everyone looks up to you, the same is you, you wear different clothes but there will be different treatment, you have to remember this. As soon as Wang Yun heard Chu Yan's words, he was immediately unhappy, and he was a teacher for a while.

"Yes, I will definitely remember the teachings of my eldest brother." Chu Yan lowered her head and humbly accepted the teaching.

"Go ahead, try on clothes."

After a while, Chu Yan changed her clothes and walked out, Wang Yun looked at it, but her eyes lit up, sure enough, it was 'people rely on clothes', and Chu Yan who changed out of a beggar's outfit was still very good. With a white face, red lips and white teeth, and a well-fitting blue cloth coat, he is clearly a beautiful young man, how can he still look like a little beggar, even the woman in the tailor's shop looks at him frequently.

"Yes, very good, looking at this change of clothes, it is clear that he is a beautiful boy." Wang Yun clapped his hands and praised.

"What kind of beautiful boy am I, my eldest brother is a real talent." Chu Yan heard Wang Yun's praise, her face flushed, and she hurriedly excused herself. After all, he is still a teenager, and Chu Yan's face is still very thin.

"This outfit is very good, how much does it cost?" Wang Yun asked the woman in the tailor's shop.

"3 silver, Childe." The woman replied.

"It's 3 silver, you put it away. Okay, Chu Yan, let's go. After settling the account, Wang Yun took Chu Yan out of the tailor's shop, led the horse, and continued to look for the inn. This time, it was the young man who walked in front, the reason was that Chu Yan said that he was more familiar with the West Market and was familiar with the situation of the inn, so he recommended one to Wang Yun, and he naturally led the way in front.

"Chu Yan, why are there so many casinos in this Taocheng City, how far is this, I have seen four." It didn't take long for Wang Yun to ask Chu Yan in wonder. But no, Wang Yuncai has been in the city for a long time, and he actually saw no less than six or seven casinos, and all of them are open on the street, this, no one cares? Don't you know how harmful this is?

"Brother Wang is cautious!" As soon as Chu Yan heard this, he said to Wang Yun eagerly, it seemed that this matter was very important. He looked left and right, and saw that no one paid attention to them, so he whispered to Wang Yun the reason, "Big brother, look at that sign, yes, it is the dragon-shaped sign, that is the symbol of the world's commercial houses, it is said that the world's commercial houses have the background of the imperial court." ”

'This, this, is actually the casino that the emperor let go?! How mediocre he is, not to mention anything else, these casinos have defeated the foundation of the Han Dynasty a lot! After listening to Chu Yan's words, Wang Yun was a little dumbfounded. The emperor encouraged the opening of casinos, which was to make money? But isn't the whole world his? Alas, I don't know how many people he ruined in this casino!

"It's here, Brother Wang." Not long after leaving, Chu Yan reminded Wang Yundao. Wang Yun looked up at the inn plaque on the left.

"Zhen's Inn".

"Big brother, Zhen's Inn is opened by Zhen's Commercial Bank, the reputation and facilities are first-class, and the price is not too expensive, Zhen's Inn is also one of the inns with the best reputation in this pottery city." Chu Yan introduced Wang Yun.

"Oh? Zhen? I've heard of it. "Indeed, Wang Yun has indeed heard of Zhen's name, of course, it is not their business house, but Zhen's peerless beauty - Luoshen, that is a strange woman who can still be a queen after remarrying, although she is posthumously sealed, but it is not extraordinary!

"That's it." Wang Yun said and walked into the Zhen Inn.

"Guest officer, please come in, I don't know if the guest officer is eating or staying in the hotel?" As soon as Wang Yun approached the inn, a shopkeeper came to greet Wang Yun.

"Stay in the hotel."

"I wonder what size room you're going to live in?" The shopkeeper continued to ask.

"What are the specifications?" Wang Yun asked.

"The upper room is a separate courtyard, with three houses, which can be inhabited by many people, and costs 20 silver per day; The middle room is a large room, which can be lived by many people, 10 silver per day; The lower room is a small room, which can only be lived in by one person, and costs 5 silver per day. Of course, the ** bunks in the room are all the same. If you still have to eat, you'll have to pay for it extra. The shopkeeper introduced the conditions of his inn in a neat manner. The inn rooms in this big city are indeed divided into three, six, nine and so on, unlike a small city like Baixiang City, where the so-called upper room is actually just an ordinary room.
