Chapter 41 Scholar Zhang Heng

Wang Chen and Zhang Tianhao returned to the inn at the same time, the hall of the inn was a little depressed as before, although there were often those immortal guests in the inn, but ordinary guests could be said to be none at all, Yang Chan lived in the inn, and I didn't know how to pay a few real gold to the proprietress, since the money was paid, then the proprietress had no reason to let Yang Chan not stop.

Wang Chen walked up the stairs to the guest room, and when he pushed the door open, an old man ran over and knelt in front of him, looking at him with pleading eyes.

"Shangxian, what do you think of our matter?" The old man really couldn't stand it anymore, there was always a faint threat in this small place, they would always have one less person every once in a while, and the place where there were originally more than ten people now became five or six people, how could he not be in a hurry?

At this moment, these five or six people were kneeling behind the old man and facing Wang Chen.

"There's nothing I can do. Wang Chen looked at the old man, he felt that this old man could not be the object formed by those obsessions, the objects formed by obsessions, so is it life, in other words, is obsession life? No one can tell Wang Chen the answer to these things, Wang Chen can only shake his head and sigh, and for the first time he feels that it is difficult to solve.

"Is there nothing we can do?, can we really just die slowly?" the old man's face gradually became a little sad, "Can I plead with you one more thing?"

The old man knelt and kept kowtowing, and he looked very sincere.

"If I can do it, I'll help you. Wang Chen saw that the old man knelt down and kept kowtowing, and his heart was naturally unbearable, even though he felt that these people were not life, but how could he bear it?

"If one day you can find our eldest lady, and she is still alive, I would like you to help take care of her, will you? We are all dead, and she must be lonely in this world, and please do not mention anything about us. ”

"Well, I promise you. When Wang Chen nodded, the old man finally smiled, and he slowly stood up, and the others also stood up......

"Thank you, Daxian. The old man closed his eyes.

Wang Chen then nodded at the old man and walked out of the room, when he closed the door, he suddenly felt a strange feeling of emptiness, he seemed to sense something and walked into the room again, a gust of wind blew, blowing up a few pages on the table, and the whole room was empty......

He seems to be gone? No, I should say, it has dissipated......

..........................................

With these things come to an end, the inn also began to find a way to make a living, Wang Chen and the cook of the running hall went to the town every day to post advertisements, the proprietress even repaired the muddy road next to it and promised to live for nothing for a few days, and finally the inn began to have a business slowly, at first it was one or two businesses, these two people were also poor, attracted by the condition of eating for nothing, they lived in the inn for a night, and found that there was no ghost thing after they put their minds at ease, and then publicized with the neighbors how the environment was here, how the situation was, and there was nothing haunted, etc。

In this way, more than ten days passed, and there were more than a dozen more people in the empty hall, and Wang Chen also began to get busy......

The proprietress looked at the daily ledger, although she didn't make much money, but she didn't lose money anyway, and finally smiled.

A few months passed slowly, and when the hot summer months passed and autumn arrived, the weather slowly cooled down.

"It's going to be the autumn exam soon, this time you must win!" A scholar looked like a person walked into the inn, this scholar showed a little depression and anxiety between his eyebrows, this era of poor scholars want to develop, they must pass the exam This condition, of course, this exam will brush down a large number of people like a big wave of sand, only a small part of the lucky people can learn high in order to get famous, when there is fame, it can be said that it is a smooth progress.

"When I won the list, this inn will be the champion building, and I will return to my hometown, and then use a brush here to personally mention a poem. ”

"Hey, you've got the best food and the best wine here. ”

The scenery is naturally desirable, this scholar is no exception, he sat down with longing and shouted, after the running hall sent some food, he ate with relish, the dishes in the inn are really good, after half an hour of eating, the book business still touched his stomach and yawned, and then picked up the burden and walked to the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, come to a good, quiet room, well, preferably the kind with paintings and calligraphy. The scholar said to the proprietress with a faint smile.

"Pay the deposit upfront, a hundred dollars, thank you. The proprietress looked at the scholar and shook her head.

"A hundred dollars?" The scholar touched his burden, and the expression on his face suddenly became a little embarrassed, "I don't have any money......

"No money, then you mean you didn't bring any money for the meal just now?" the proprietress frowned a little displeased, "Although our meals here are cheaper, they are not free." ”

"No, no, I won't let you be free, as long as it takes a few more months, well, in a few days, when I get the title of the gold list, don't say a meal, just say that I can cover the entire inn. The scholar's voice was still small at first, but when he talked about the title of the gold list, his voice suddenly became high-pitched, and then the more he spoke, the more he felt that this was the case.

"When the time comes, the name of your inn will be changed, and it will be replaced by the champion building, and the place where I live can also be replaced by the champion room, and the things I have eaten are also champion dishes, otherwise, I will help you write a few words now, and this word will be worth absolutely ten thousand gold at that time!"

The more the proprietress listened, the more wrong her face became, and then she put down the account book in her hand and looked at the scholar.

"You said so, that is, you are ready to eat white food now? More than ten years ago, maybe it was still the same, but now it has been more than ten days. ”

"How can the world of scholars be said to be eating white food? Okay, let me tell you this, even if I can't pass the top prize, it doesn't matter, the imperial court has actually recruited me, as long as I want to go, I can have an official position at any time! If I win the top prize, it will be the icing on the cake, do you understand?" The scholar frowned and looked at the proprietress with some displeasure.

"Yes, since you will be an official in the future, then I should also treat it with the attitude of an official. The proprietress suddenly smiled strangely.

"Huh?" the scholar was stunned.

A few hours later, Wang Chen came down from the upstairs cleaning and saw a person wearing clothes similar to his own, standing under the inn with a broom with an aggrieved smile on his face.

"You are?"

“......”

"He's my new recruit, you take him over, what work is given to him, when you pay off the food money and when you finish work. The proprietress had a cold face.

"Oh, what's your name?"

"Zhang Heng. ”

"Zhang Heng?"

"Yes. ”

"...... that legendary astronomer Zhang Heng? Wang Chen looked at it, it didn't seem like it......

(Note: It's 100 A.D., the Three Kingdoms period has just begun, well, here is a little mention, it has little to do with the Three Kingdoms, although the champion is not in the Three Kingdoms, but it is also used, this is Journey to the West, not the Three Kingdoms...... Well, don't be too obsessed. (To be continued.) )
