Chen Laohan got up early to wash before dawn, his inn is in the most corner of Gaojin Town, although the location is not very conspicuous, but recently it is full of customers, one person is not busy at all, and finally he called his nephew from his hometown to take care of the inn together. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gaojin Town is 60 miles away from Kyoto City, not close or not far away, in previous years, people who went to Beijing to take the examination were willing to come here to rest and spend the night, even if the guests who came early in the morning were willing to stay in this town for a whole day, why? Because "Gao Jin" and "Gao Jin" are homophonic, it is rumored that the prime minister stayed in this town for one night before entering Beijing for the examination.

Nowadays, in the year of the Beijing examination in Gaojin Town, every household has vacated their shops and houses as inns, and the supply is often in short supply.

Chen Laohan took out a handful of coarse salt and carefully brushed his teeth, this thing was also learned from Kyoto, and now he has become a habit of not brushing it for a day, and he feels uncomfortable all over the body, and before he can spit out the water in his mouth, there is a knock on the door.

"Hey, there's been a business so early. Chen Laohan spit out a mouthful of salt water, wiped his hand, hugged the lantern and went to open the door.

The door is a little old, and when it opens, it makes a sour creak sound.

Chen Laohan opened the door, and there were two beggars standing outside the door, except for a slightly clean face, a sour smell almost fainted him.

". Come early in the morning to beg for food, you are more diligent than me. ”

Chen Laohan had a nameless fire, it was really a bad head, he changed his hand and wanted to close the door, but a black hand grabbed the door that was closing.

"Hey. . . Shopkeeper, we're here to stay at the hotel. ”

The person who spoke was naturally Jiang He, and they were ecstatic to see this distant town on the hill yesterday afternoon, so they rushed in this direction, who knew that Wangshan ran a dead horse, and finally arrived in this town after a night of walking, and the two of them had been on the road for days since they were attacked and had not changed their clothes, and now they have become like this.

Jiang He is okay, but Wu Xiaobei complains all day long, which makes Jiang He can't help but be big.

Chen Laohan looked at these two "beggars" with interest. He crossed his waist and said, "Okay, stay in the hotel, take out the money." ”

Jiang He hurriedly took out a piece of broken silver from his waist pocket and handed it to Chen Laohan, fortunately, Jiang He was used to carrying money with him, otherwise the two of them would really have to go to the street to be beggars.

Chen Laohan took the silver for appraisal with half a doubt, and immediately changed his face: "Ouch, two guest officers, you just came back from an expedition?"

Jiang He didn't want to deal with the innkeeper who changed his face quickly, so he only pulled Wu Xiaobei to the courtyard, and then the two of them sat on the stone bench in the courtyard.

"Leave it alone, hurry up and boil some hot water, we can wash up." Jiang He picked up the overnight tea on the table and drank it, he was too thirsty, so he handed it to Wu Xiaobei after drinking.

Wu Xiaobei looked at him and took it angrily, but he no longer cared about the image and picked up the teapot and began to drink.

Chen Laohan hurriedly entered the house and boiled water for the two.

"By the way, cook some more porridge, it's really not hot to make two steamed buns from last night. ”

。

Jiang He woke up at noon, and he was about to get dressed and go out, but when he looked at the sour clothes like pickled vegetable residues, he really didn't want to put them on himself anymore. I don't know how he insisted on wearing it during the years in the mountains.

But in the end, he still put on this pickle. It is impossible for him to go out on the street with a naked carcass, and he may not be able to walk three steps before he is knocked to the ground with a sword by a chivalrous knight.

Jiang He was about to go out to buy two sets of clothes, and as soon as she arrived downstairs, she remembered Wu Xiaobei again, she was also wearing a full suit for half a month, although she didn't sweat much on Jiang He's back on weekdays, but she couldn't wear it anymore, and he didn't know the size, so he had to ask.

Jiang He knocked on the door, but no one came to open it, so he shouted into the house, "Miss Wu, are you awake?"

It took a long time before someone in the house replied: "Jianghe?"

"Girl, come and open the door, I have something to discuss. Jiang He leaned against the door and waited, thinking that this man could sleep better than me.

"Jianghe, it's inconvenient for me, just say something you want. ”

Wu Xiaobei hid in the quilt with an embarrassed face, she looked at the set of pickled clothes on the stool and couldn't muster the courage to touch it again, she didn't dare to imagine that she had been wearing these clothes these days and had never taken them off.

This made Jiang He outside the door a little embarrassed, he couldn't shout and ask the girl how many feet of waist you are and what size of clothes are you wearing, right?

"Uh... This one.. Jiang He rubbed his hands and couldn't squeeze out a word for a long time.

In the end, he had to get a pen and paper from his room, and stuffed a note through the crack in the door. It reads: "Miss Wu, write the size of your clothes on this piece of paper, and I'll go and make you a dress." ”

Wu Xiaobei was startled by the note that suddenly came in from under the door, but when she heard the river outside the door say to let her see the note, she had to wrap herself in the quilt like a frightened peacock and slowly pick up the note on the ground.

She looked at the words on the paper and burst out laughing.

Jiang He was waiting outside the door to rub his skin and scratch it, what is this?

Finally, a note slipped out from under the door.

As soon as Jiang He picked up the note, a cold voice came from inside the door: "Don't look, just take it to the shopkeeper of the clothing store." If you peek at me, I'll kill you. Then a copper coin rolled out, which really scared Jiang He.

"Don't look, don't look. Girl, just wait for me to come back. ”

Jiang He rubbed the note in his hand with a look of disdain.

"Hush. After memorizing it for so many days, I can guess it. Of course, Jiang He is just talking in his heart.

Although it was noon at this time, there were still crowds of people on the streets of Gaojin Town, especially the wine shops of all sizes were full. Jiang He went straight to the tailor's shop, but was almost kicked out by the apprentice again. In the end, Jiang He said that the apprentice pinched his nose and came over to take the copper coin and note from Jiang He's hand, and then drove him out of the point and asked him to wait outside.

Jiang He sat on the side of the street, waiting for the tailor to make clothes.

A group of scholars came from the other side of the street, talking and laughing, and the leader was even more personable in green shirts.

Several people walked in front of Jiang He and couldn't help but stop.

Jiang He was silently reciting the Three Qing Qi Refining Mantra with his head down, not noticing the few scholars who stopped in front of him.

The scholar at the head raised the paper fan in his hand, looked at the sky obliquely, and said: "Alas, Brother Li, you see the suffering of this people, and it is really worrying to think that there are so many down-and-out people under the prosperity of my southern country." ”

Another person with a green belt on his waist immediately echoed: "What Brother Zhang said is extremely true, as the so-called high out of the temple is worried about its people, and far away from the rivers and lakes, it is worried about its monarch." Brother Zhang is a real person!"

The leader said, "Alas, if we wait to enter Beijing and gain fame, we must not forget the people who are still suffering." ”

A group of people praised each other for a while, and finally, the leader threw two copper coins in front of Jiang He, and a picture of worrying about the country and the people fluttered away.

。

Jiang He, who was sitting on the ground, stayed for a long time before he came back to his senses and looked at the two copper coins lying on the ground.

He glared, looked at his clothes again, and couldn't laugh or cry.

"I'm really being treated like a beggar!!"
