Chapter 205: The Sour Show in the Inn

Said that the two of them also found an inn in the inner city at random to enter, there are very few inns in the inner city, the two inquired for a long time and found one along the street, the appearance of this inn is also extremely inconspicuous, there are only two floors, only tables, chairs and benches on the first floor, and there is a young scholar wearing a green shirt, reading with a book in his hand, and the second floor is a guest room. Outside the inn, there is only an old sign with four big characters written on it. "Angelica Inn"

And Ye Xuan also saw the four big characters of the Angelica Inn, and he had a good impression, so he entered the inn with Hongrui, and the sour Xiucai in the inn also smiled after seeing Ye Xuan and Hongrui, and walked out of the tent with a thin body and led Ye Xuan and Hongrui to the seat, poured two cups of herbal tea, and then showed a smiling face. "The two of you are still staying in the hotel. ”

Ye Xuan listened to the words and looked at the simple and slightly refreshing decoration in the inn, and then said: "We live in the hotel, may I ask the store, how much silver do we need for two rooms a month?"

Sour Xiucai smiled: "It's not much, only twenty taels of silver for two people." ”

When Ye Xuan heard this, he calculated in his heart, twenty taels of silver is two taels of gold, with the financial resources on his body and Hongrui, it is enough! Thinking about him, he said: "Okay, I will live here with you from today onwards, but I have to ask the shopkeeper, why is there not even a running hall in the inn." As he spoke, Ye Xuan took out two pieces of gold from his sleeve and put them on the table. The scholar quickly took it in his hand and put it in his sleeve pocket.

When the poor scholar heard that Ye Xuan was going to live in the hotel, he showed a happy smile, and at the same time, a touch of crampedness between his eyebrows also disappeared. Answering Ye Xuan's question, it was also extremely refreshing: "This inn is the ancestral business I inherited, my grandfather was the county magistrate of the year, and I was also a ten-year-old Xiucai, but when I was examined." Because I have to go to Beijing every year to catch the exam, I have sold a lot of things, and this inn is in the inner city, and there are not many passers-by who come to live in the hotel, and I usually only live by myself, after all, if the guest officer does not come, after a while, I can't even afford to provide my own food expenses. How can you have spare money to find a runner again. ”

Ye Xuan listened to the words and looked at the deserted inn, and he also had some pity for this sour show. The imperial examination is harmful, but for most people, the imperial examination is also the fastest way to turn over. If you are selected to serve in the yamen, at least you will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life. "Look at so many tables, chairs and benches on your floor, if you are a chef and cook by yourself, you can also make some money, after all, the faΓ§ade is your own, except for the food money, it is all net income. ”

Who knew that this sour Xiucai shook his head. "I don't know how to cook, because I have been reading some books and five classics since I was a child, and I can't cook any recipes. It can only be used as something to sustain life. After saying this, the sour show talked about it. "Grandfather, grandson is not filial. You have no wonder in the sky, I just hope that in this year's imperial examination, you can bless your grandson's high school. ”

Ye Xuan also sweated in his heart when he heard this. I thought that it was rare for a scholar who couldn't carry his hands and couldn't pick his shoulders in the book, but he didn't expect him to really meet one. And it's still alive, and this scholar really doesn't know anything except reading. No, it's pretty quick when you collect money. "Actually, you can hire someone to be a chef. ”

The scholar shook his head. "This inner city is full of dignitaries, even if there are people who are as depressed as me, but they will not come to me to be a cook when they die poorly, and they probably can't cook, and officials with official ranks, as well as rich merchants in their hands, are estimated to have raised many cooks from all over the world, how can they eat in my informal inn. More than ten years ago, when there were no restrictions in the inner city, he could still rely on this inn to earn some living expenses, but since more than ten years ago, when Feng Zongyu, the king of the northwest, entered this Ye city, this inner city has also become a forbidden place and has become his personal activity place. It's really okay to eat and drink for nothing wherever you go, and take it for free by the way. But I haven't heard of any girl he harmed, of course, to his status, there is probably no shortage of women. But after the closure of the inner city, business plummeted, and many of the down-and-out children like me sold their ancestral property and moved to live in the outer city. ”

When Ye Xuan heard this, he felt sorry for this scholar: "The policy has hurt you." Otherwise, it is estimated that you will have guests staying in this inn every day. ”

The scholar smiled disapprehantly: "It's also fun to be idle, after all, no one can read with peace of mind, and this year I feel that there is hope that I can be a lifter." Thank you for the two taels of gold from the guest officer, to help me get through this period of difficulty, by the way, if the guest officer stays tonight, I still hope that the guest officer will go upstairs to pick a room casually, and then take out the bedding in the room to dry. Because the last time I got the sun, it was a month ago. After all, no one usually lives there, except for my own room. I don't bother to clean the rest either. So a lot of rooms will collect dust. ”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan's hand that picked up the water cup suddenly stopped, and then looked at the tea that was not steaming. "Then how good do you know about this tea?"

Xiucai looked embarrassed, and smiled honestly: "Yesterday's." ”

"Can I pay it back? I'm going to stay at another hotel. Ye Xuan got up and said, with a look of regret.

This sour Xiucai smiled and said: "The deal has been completed, and I will not check out." I also hope that the guest officer will solve it by himself. After saying that, the scholar also stepped into the door of the inn and disappeared into the streets and alleys. The speed is as fast as a light work. But Ye Xuan was also a little ashamed. Then he smiled slightly awkwardly. "I met such an interesting innkeeper when I went out. Am I lucky, or am I unlucky?"

Hongrui bared her white teeth and smiled, "Interesting." ”

Ye Xuan also looked at the empty inn when he heard this, and then sat on the bench in the lobby of the inn and smiled helplessly: "It's very interesting." It's just that this is a showman, and he is not afraid that I will take anything from him. But he glanced at the hall on this floor again, and found that in addition to a few tables, chairs, and benches, there were also a few barrels of wine in the inn.

"Wine!" Ye Xuan said in surprise, he remembered the eight treasures he drank with Ao Longquan last time he went shopping, and now he still has an aftertaste in his mouth. That sweet wine. Thinking that Ye Xuan was also curious to walk to the barrel of this Angelica Inn, wanting to see if there was any precious wine. After all, the money has been given, and there is no corresponding service, so I think I can drink some fine wine to compensate. However, after opening the lid of the wine barrel, looking at the empty wine barrel with only the smell of wine, Ye Xuan was also a little lost.

"Sure enough, I should have thought of it a long time ago, so that the sour show could run out comfortably and worry-free, and naturally there would be nothing of value left. Ye Xuan smiled helplessly. Hongrui had an indifferent look that she knew it would be.
