Chapter 018: Learning is worth this price

Looking at the two people who came in outside the door, Zhang Shaoyang couldn't help but squint his eyes, his right hand gently circled the teacup, and then took a sip, his eyes turned from the fat man to the little girl.

The two of them naturally noticed this, but the two ignored it and walked to the other table, and the fat man shouted at the top of his voice: "Shopkeeper, serve some wine and food!"

The little girl on the side gently tugged at the fat man who was sitting on most of the table, and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother Xu, we don't have any money!"

The fat man grinned and showed a simple smile: "Little junior sister, if you have no money, when you arrive in Xiangyang City, you will play the fine work of playing the flute with both hands to attract butterflies, and you are still worried that the silver will not be drilled into our pockets? ”

The little girl looked sad, looked at the fat man's fat face, which was twice as big as herself, and shook her head: "If you eat it again, you will really look like a pig!"

The fat man didn't seem to hear it, took the wine jug from the little two ends, poured it into his mouth, and smacked his mouth twice with the bar.

Wang Ziyuan finally ate a full meal, and burped loudly, perhaps because he felt insulted, and he always couldn't hang his face, so he got up and said: "I'm fortunate to know the two of you, it's not early today, the two of you are probably tired all the way, so rest early." ”

Zhang Shaoyang returned the salute and said goodbye, and when he saw Wang Ziyuan going out, Zhang Shaoyang called the shopkeeper to him: "Where does this Xiucai live?"

"I made room for him in the firewood room. The shopkeeper said.

"Send a quilt at night, just say that you sent it, don't hurt his face, reader, face is the most valuable!"

The little girl who saw all this in her eyes, the sorrow on her face disappeared in a blink of an eye, looking at the backs of Zhang Shaoyang and the idiot going upstairs, she smiled and said, "This person is not bad!"

Zhang Shaoyang didn't hear it, but the fat man who stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth scolded vaguely: "Fart!"

......

Zhang Shaoyang is not just pitiful Wang Ziyuan, there are more than 10 million poor scholars in this world, and there are more people who are more pitiful than him Wang Ziyuan, so he can still earn some money by selling words and paintings, and how many bitter bachelors with the dream of being the champion in high school have dreamed of one day being able to become an official and participate in politics, and go forward and succeed on this dusty official road?

It's a pity that most of them died on this road, and they didn't forget to read the last two sentences until they died, one sentence was about 'There are thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy', and the other sentence must be 'It's all bullshit'! I can't close my eyes until I die.

Zhang Shaoyang thought to himself that if Wang Ziyuan knew that his trip to Beijing was to see the scenery and see the world on horseback, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he vomited blood and died, this world is not so fair after all!

Zhang Shaoyang thought that now most of the ministers are thinking about how to get promoted and make a fortune, how to make their pockets more bulging, Wang Ziyuan, a person who is really a literati and a person who is really committed to the capital, may be really a strange flower, and can bloom a flower on the barren official road.

After resting for the night, Zhang Shaoyang's tiredness from the day before yesterday was swept away, and Wang Ziyuan, who lived in the firewood room, probably finally had a warm sleep last night, and the whole person looked much better than yesterday.

When he saw Zhang Shaoyang, Wang Ziyuan was a little excited, and said, "Brother Zhang, are you going to go on the road so early?"

Zhang Shaoyang smiled back: "Yes, isn't it the same for Brother Wang, why don't we be together?"

Wang Ziyuan's face was embarrassed: "I can't keep up with Brother Zhang's horse this way, so forget it." ”

Zhang Shaoyang thought for a moment and said with a smile, "It's not a big problem, just buy a horse!"

Seeing Wang Ziyuan's embarrassed face, Zhang Shaoyang continued: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I have the money for this horse, as for this money, it is easy to say, Brother Wang's literary talent is above me, my half-hung level, if there is anything I don't understand on the road, Brother Wang will give me pointers, a question of 100 Wen, what do you think?"

"But a hundred words... Isn't it more?" Wang Ziyuan was a little surprised.

"It's not much, and knowledge is worth this price. Zhang Shaoyang said seriously.

Hearing Zhang Shaoyang's words, Wang Ziyuan didn't squirm anymore, and laughed: "Okay, according to what Brother Zhang said." ”

At this moment, the combination of the fat man and the girl also got up early in the morning, and the fat man was carrying a burden and glanced at Zhang Shaoyang unceremoniously when he passed by.

Zhang Shaoyang was not annoyed, but asked with a smile: "Are you going to the capital?"

The fat man shrugged the knife in his hand and said impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"Why don't we go together, the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, let's make a friend, how about going together?"

"Well, then, you can buy us two horses?" said the fat man with a sarcastic expression.

Zhang Shaoyang smiled heartily: "It's just two horses, it's decided!"

"Senior Brother Xu, this is not good!" The little girl next to her looked at the fat man with a serious face, and the fat man pretended not to see it, and smiled all over his face.

The fat man chose the fattest horse, according to what he said, he has such a figure, only such a horse can be worthy of him, Zhang Shaoyang just smiled lightly, did not say anything, although this fat horse is expensive for 100 yuan, this fat man only took advantage of him, but he didn't know that the horse should be strong or not fat, the strong horse travels thousands of miles a day, the fat horse, it can't be kept!

The horses were bought, and the five of them finally embarked on the trip, and the fat man always didn't deal with Zhang Shaoyang and the idiot along the way, probably Zhang Shaoyang's horse kicked him all over the mud, after all, the fat man himself said: I'm good at everything, just hold grudges!

Zhang Shaoyang laughed dumbly, not long after he left, the fat man's horse began to hum and pant, the fat man looked at his fat, and then looked at the other four people who were still alive and well, he couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and in the end he could only get off the horse, put the burden on the horse's back, and in the end simply carried all the burden on his back, leading the horse with one hand and holding a knife in the other, he couldn't figure out whether he was losing or earning.

After some inquiry, Zhang Shaoyang only knew from the little girl, her name is Ren Xiaoworm, the fat man is called Xu Hanhai, the two are brothers and sisters, such as today's son believes in Buddhism and worships Taoism, and there are a group of diviners and alchemists around him, the master of the two is a Taoist priest, when I heard that the palace recruited capable people, they ran away, the two brothers and sisters are naturally left to fend for themselves, and now I heard that they are mixing well in the palace, which reminds me that there are two apprentices, so they fly pigeons to pass the book, so that the two of them can enjoy happiness together in the capital.

Zhang Shaoyang felt that the little girl's name was very interesting, and called it a few more times, and finally simply removed the surname, and called a small insect kindly, next to Xu Fatzi was originally gloating about this kid to be unlucky, he used to call the little insect can be beaten by this little girl, do you dare to call it so many times in a row?

But the fat man waited for a long time and didn't wait, and looked at his little sister......

Indifferent? With such a charming smile?

Xu Fatzi fell into deep thought again.

The wind blew so much that his face hurt, Zhang Shaoyang saw that Wang Ziyuan's clothes were thin, so he lent him the clothes he brought with him, Xiucai changed into this gorgeous set of clothes, it was extremely suitable, both of them were very well-proportioned, but Wang Ziyuan did not wear such luxurious clothes, and he was not used to twisting and pinching, which made several people in the same industry laugh.

Xiucai carefully put away the original shabby clothes, Zhang Shaoyang saw it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "This set of clothes is for you, that dress is too torn, don't do it!"

Wang Ziyuan sighed and said, "There are some things that are your own, but you can't afford to lose them!"

Zhang Shaoyang was stunned, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he slapped Yingge'er's buttocks, the horse's hooves flew quickly, and the words of the little brother came: "That's the reason!"
