Besides, Kangping County's annual literary competition, which is a prosperous era in the literary world that even the county attaches great importance to, will come in person every year and finally take the ranking!

Even if he borrowed a few courages, he didn't dare to be arrogant and arrogant to ruin the big things of the county lord!

Moreover, since the young man in front of him was able to get a post from Tan Jiaoyu, instead of being invited by the county Confucianism or the Plum Blossom Society in charge of organizing like everyone else, it can be seen that he is either outstanding in knowledge or has someone behind him.

Neither of these two can afford to be offended by his little gatekeeper.

Han Yan and his entourage, in the apologetic flattery of the gatekeepers, left the city gate and walked towards the lively city.

This is the first time since Shu Yu crossed to such a prosperous place in a county city, it is inevitable to feel novel and interesting, looking around like Xiao Wangzhi, and feeling fresh when he sees everything.

Although Xiushui Hezi Town is called a town, it is only two streets crisscrossing from north to south and east to west, adding up to more than 100 meters long, and the shops and vendors are mostly selling some daily necessities, where is the city of a county so lively and prosperous.

I heard that there are two or three shops that sell antiques alone.

Shu Yu and Xiao Wangzhi looked novel and interesting, but the others seemed to be lacking in interest.

Han Yan, as a well-informed person who has seen the prosperity of the imperial capital, and has traveled south and north, and has footprints all over the Guanxi and outside, this bit of excitement in Kangping County cannot enter his eyes.

And Zhang Lihu and Zhang Li looked very excited and apprehensive since they entered the city, and the two glanced at each other from time to time, and there was a look in their eyes that others couldn't understand, and they quickly covered up the past.

I didn't go far, I saw an inn, and there was a plaque in the middle, with four big characters on it: "Guests are like clouds".

Zhang Lihu stopped the carriage and said, "Let's go find a place to live first." ”

Kangping County's annual cultural meeting competition generally starts on the ninth day of August and ends on the morning of the tenth day of the first month.

In this way, they have to spend two or three days in the county, and they have to find a place to settle down first.

Han Yan and Shu Yu dismounted when they heard this, and went to ask if there was a vacant room in the inn first.

Tomorrow is the big competition of the cultural meeting, many people in the vicinity are invited or admired to participate or watch, if you don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid that the inn will be full by then.

Sure enough, Han Yan and Shu Yu went in and asked, and the shopkeeper said that there was only one room left.

Han Yan frowned, there are so many people and there are different men and women, how can one room be enough?

Seeing Han Yan's hesitation, the shopkeeper kindly reminded: "If the two of you don't decide again, I'm afraid that there won't even be this room for a while." ”

When Han Yan heard this, he made a decision in an instant and said, "Then let's order it first." ”

He turned his head and explained to Shu Yu: "When the time comes, if there is no vacancy in other houses, I will go to Tan Jiaoyu's house to disturb him for a night." You don't have to worry about you, this is what Mr. Tan has done in advance......"

I just didn't expect everyone to come together.

He is just alone, how can he bring so many people to "come to the door" together.

Shu Yu nodded, and before he could speak, he was surprised to hear it: "It turned out to be Lord Tan's guest!" Disrespectful, disrespectful!

"Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll send Xiao Er to see if I can vacate another room."

Being able to get the invitation of Tan Jiaoyu to enter the city at this time, it is obvious that he is going to participate in tomorrow's literary competition, and it is very likely that he will be an official in the imperial examination in the future, how can he not have a good relationship as soon as possible.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Han Yan and Shu Yu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Go to other people's houses to disturb, where is your own guest house comfortable.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Han Yan hurriedly thanked him.

"Don't dare, don't dare." The shopkeeper said with a smile, and immediately summoned a clever junior to go to the backyard to see if there was any vacant room.

After a while, Xiao Er came back and replied with a smile: "It just so happens that there are guests who want to check out of the city in the evening, if you are not in a hurry to move in, you can wait first." ”

Han Yan and Shu Yu both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

At this moment, I'm afraid that all the inns are almost full, and now I can vacate a room for everyone to stay in one place, and there is no more convenience.

Put the luggage into the room first, and asked Xiao Er to drive the carriage and horses to the backyard to settle down, and a few people ordered four bowls of noodles, ready to fill their stomachs first.

The shopkeeper specially instructed the kitchen to cut two small dishes and personally delivered them.

A plate of pickled bamboo shoots and a plate of braised pork are all ordinary things, and it is rare to have this heart.

"Now that it's past dinner, there are only these left in the back kitchen, and a few guest officers will have a few of them, and they will have their own good wine and food to entertain in the evening." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Han Yan hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Thank you for the shopkeeper." ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand with a smile and said, "A few slow users, I won't bother." ”

With that, he left.

When the shopkeeper walked away, Zhang Orion whispered excitedly: "Sure enough, it's 'someone in the court who is easy to do'!" This time, we are all stained with the light of the virtuous nephew! ”

Han Yan smiled humbly: "Uncle Zhang's words really hurt me. If we really want to say that it is stained with light, then it should also be that we are stained with the light of Tan's teachings. ”

It was so at the gates of the city, and now it is true at the inns.

Zhang Orion was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, too." ”

However, no matter whose light he is touched, he can have this treatment in his life, and he will not lose it!

After eating, when checking out, Han Yan insisted on paying off the money for the two dishes sent by the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's resignation lasted for a long time, and when he saw Han Yan's insistence, he had to accept it, and smiled helplessly.

These scholars always have a sense of arrogance, what is it called......

That's right, "don't eat the food that comes from the mouth"!

Even if he is kind to him, the other party is not willing to make himself "virtuous" because of this.

Han Yan understood the meaning of the shopkeeper's laughter, but he didn't argue too much, and smiled.

Tan Jiaoyu kindly sent him an invitation, he didn't say anything to repay, but he couldn't damage other people's reputation for two plates of side dishes.

After lunch, Han Yan freshened up a little, brought the poems and texts he had written in advance, and prepared to visit Tan's mansion to thank him.

Zhang Lihu and Zhang Li went to the Niangniang Temple in the south of the city to pray for peace.

"It's rare for us to come to the city to burn incense and ask for peace, and it's not in vain to go back and forth." Zhang Li said, and asked Shu Yu, "Are you going to go with Xiao Wangzhi?" ”

Shu Yu rode a horse all morning, his legs were still a little sore at this time, and he just wanted to lie on the bed and rest well.

And Xiao Wangzhi was full of food and drink, and his eyes were even more dazzled at this time, as if he was going to fall asleep in the next moment.

Neither of them had any interest in Zhang Li's proposal, and only held on to a bed.

Seeing this, Zhang Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief, explained a few words to Shu Yu, and went out with her husband.

Shu Yu saw that everyone was gone, and the sleepy insect also climbed up, so he simply tied the door, lay on the side of the bed with his clothes, and stopped Xiao Wangzhi, who was already sleeping with a pillow inside, and soon closed his eyes and fell asleep. 2k reading web
