(Ask for subscription, ask for automatic subscription!)
Snowflakes are flying, boundless. It didn't take long for the chapter to be updated at the earliest, and a layer of white was accumulated on the ground, and it was white and "creaked" when stepped on.
Chen Sanlang entered Chang'an City in the face of the wind and snow.
The crowd was bustling and rubbing shoulders with each other, and among them there were many people with different faces, but they were foreigners, mingling in the streets, getting along well.
Chang'an is not only the capital of the dynasty, but also a world famous city, many foreigners come across the sea, when they like this city, they simply settle here.
Chen Sanlang looked at the freshness, looked left and right, and had a great sense of lingering. When I saw that it was getting late and dark, I suddenly came back to my senses, politely asked someone for directions, and asked where the "Yunlai Inn" was.
In Chang'an, the Yunlai Inn is quite famous, so the person knows and points the way.
The direction of the path is clear, but Chen Sanlang followed the other party's instructions, went around and around, and after turning three streets, he was very sad to find that he was lost again.
Chang'an City is too big, and there are too many streets, like a big labyrinth.
I had to keep asking for directions.
After walking for more than two hours, his legs were a little sore, and he saw the banner of the Yunlai Inn.
The flag is erected on the left side of the store door, about three zhang high, hunting in the wind, quite imposing.
Here is quite close to the inner city of Chang'an, the name of Yunlai Inn, taken from the meaning of "guest like Yunlai", in which "cloud", homonym "Yun", so there is the understanding of "Yunlai", which is very omenous.
The inn is famous because every year of the scientific examination, many people from other places go to the capital to take the examination. They all chose to stay at this hotel. Over time, it became a routine.
The examination hall is set up in the inner city Gongyuan. The imperial court was sympathetic to the children, so they arranged a place to live near the tribute courtyard. Free nights. However, these accommodations are open for a certain period of time, usually one month before the exam. If it's too early, you can only settle down somewhere else and settle down for the time being.
Chen Sanlang came to Chang'an much earlier, and he could not enjoy the treatment of the tribute court. The reason why he came to Yunlai Inn was only because Ye Rongtong once said that after he arrived in Chang'an, he would meet at Yunlai Inn so that he could take care of each other.
Ye Rongtong went to Chang'an many days earlier than Chen Sanlang. If nothing else, he must have already checked into the inn.
Standing at the door of the inn and looking up at the signboard on the lintel, Chen Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief, shook the bookbrush cloth on his back, and shook off a piece of snow.
"Hey, you scholar don't pay attention to it, how do you shake the snow outside our store?"
A shopkeeper ran out and muttered. He's such a runaway. There are many people, and the vision is the sharpest, seeing Chen Sanlang alone, in heavy snowy weather. The dress is thin and shabby, and it is not expected to be a move to rush for the exam. I won't spend a lot of money to stay in the hotel, so I ran out and reprimanded.
Chen Sanlang frowned. said indifferently: "I want to stay in the hotel, and the snow on my body will not shake off outside the door." Why don't you bring it into the store?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately changed his smile: "Oh, this boy is laughing, it's cold outside, don't catch a cold, please come in quickly." ”
This kind of face-changing technique is practiced perfectly, and it is a pity not to do drama.
Chen Sanlang didn't bother with him, and entered proudly.
There is a fire in the store, and it is very warm, and the chill on your body is expelled.
Outside the inn, a slender man of medium stature suddenly came out, his eyes were dim, he watched Chen Sanlang enter, and muttered: "Sure enough, I settled here, I quickly went back and told the prince to know......"
The figure turned, disappeared into the crowd, and disappeared.
Chen Sanlang came to the counter, knocked on the wooden board, and asked, "Shopkeeper, I want to stay in the hotel." ”
The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile: "How long will the son live?"
Chen Sanlang thought for a while: "I don't know for the time being, I will leave then, and I will settle with you." ”
Reach out and throw out a silver ingot, which is full of ten taels, which is considered a deposit.
When the shopkeeper saw the silver, he smiled: "Please show the road guide document." ”
This is the rule of the hotel, Chang'an City is the capital of the country, and the governance is naturally different from other places.
After reading Chen Sanlang's road quotation document, the shopkeeper said "oops", and hurriedly returned the silver in his hand: "It turned out to be Xie Yuangong from Yangzhou, who has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and please forgive me." ”
Chen Sanlang was stunned, and he didn't know why.
A state of Jieyuan, although the reputation is good, but in the final analysis, it is still a meritorious name. As a person, it may belong to a famous brand in the county seat, and it is very enjoyable, but when it comes to the state and county, it becomes more ordinary, and there is no special treatment for meritorious fame and no authority.
This is the case in states and counties, let alone national capitals?
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the dragons and tigers gathered, and a Xie Yuan arrived, which was not much different from throwing a small pebble into the lake, at most it could only make a little wave, and there was no movement in the blink of an eye.
The shopkeeper of this Yunlai Inn, I don't know how many powerful people he has received all year round, and the Jinshi has seen a lot, but now he is respectful to a Xie Yuan, which is really surprising.
"Chen Jieyuan, your room has been arranged, sweep the couch and wait, Ah San, why don't you take the distinguished guests up to rest." ”
Ah San was the shopkeeper just now, and when he heard this, he hurriedly came over and nodded: "Chen Jieyuan, please come with the villain." ”
Chen Sanlang took the silver ingots back and asked, "Shopkeeper, what's going on?
The shopkeeper smiled: "Someone has already paid it, how can the old man dare to accept Yuan Gong's silver taels again?"
Chen Sanlang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Who is ......?"
After a pause, he asked again: "Is his surname Ye?"
I first guessed that Ye Rongtong was on him, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was not very practical. Even if Ye Rongtong had already lived in the store, there was no reason to book a room and wait for him to live. The friendship with each other is not good enough, and Ye Rongtong is not sure when he will come, what a waste of booking a room?
The shopkeeper touched his head: "Xie Yuangong, there are nobles to take care of, you can live in peace, if you have any orders, just open your voice." ”
Elegant?
Hearing his words flickering, Chen Sanlang stopped asking, went up to the room with the shopkeeper, and lit the lamp. Seeing that it is really a good place with bright and clean windows, it is very spacious, elegantly arranged, and there are two pots of gentleman's bamboo at the windowsill, the leaves are verdant, and the greenery is rippling.
Chen Sanlang put down the book and said, "I'm very hungry, you go to Zhang Luo to have a table of food, you want more meat, you have to have wine." ”
It was snowing outside and I was too lazy to go out again.
The shopkeeper should be very cheerful: "Xie Yuangong wait a minute, the wine and food will come soon." ”
Turned around and went out, went down to the counter, and told the shopkeeper Chen Sanlang's request.
The shopkeeper immediately said: "That's still stunned, go do it immediately." ”
"But the shopkeeper, he didn't order a specific dish, how should this be served?"
"Stupid, didn't you hear Xie Yuangong say that if you want more meat, you have to have wine? You go and ask the kitchen to cut a pound of mutton, a pound of beef, and a tender chicken......
The shopkeeper smacked his tongue when he heard this, how could Chen Sanlang, a scholar of meat, eat it? Wouldn't it be a good look on the table, bent on pleasing him, and wasting some of it.
"Also, send the twelve-year-old bamboo leaf green to the altar. ”
The shopkeeper was really stunned: "Shopkeeper, isn't this jar of wine going to be left for Master Cai? ”
The shopkeeper pouted: "Compared with the nobleman who takes care of the Duke of Yuan, which green onion is Master Cai...... Without further ado, hurry up and send it up, don't make people wait for a long time. Serve inappropriately, but you ask. ”
"Gotcha. ”
Although the shopkeeper is full of doubts, he also knows how to measure, anyway, the boss can do what he wants.
In about a quarter of an hour, the table in the room was filled with dishes, steaming hot and fragrant. A jar of good wine, scalded with hot water, faintly has a rich aroma of wine, which makes people smell and get drunk.
The shopkeeper said diligently: "Xie Yuangong, my shopkeeper said, if it's not enough, just give an order and send it again immediately." ”
I slandered in my heart, a person eats seven or eight dishes, has wine and soup, and it is strange if it is not enough.
Chen Sanlang smiled: "Thank you shopkeeper...... Well, how much silver does this table of food and drinks cost?"
"Oh, Xie Yuangong, you just have a good time. Not to mention the silver, it has been given. The villain retires, waits outside the door, and you can call if you have something. ”
As he spoke, he deftly withdrew and closed the door.
Under the lamp, Chen Sanlang was indeed hungry, so he immediately raised his chopsticks to eat, poured wine into the cup, took a sip, and the taste was mellow, which was quite different from the wine he had drunk before.
Wine!
I couldn't help but kill it in one bite, and then I ate a piece of cooked beef and pressed it, and my body slowly sweated.
This meal was delicious, and it was only half an hour before I asked the shopkeeper to come in and clean up the mess. Seeing that there was a mess on the dinner table, there was not much food left, and a jar of bamboo leaves was more direct to the bottom, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but stick out his tongue: the scholar has seen a lot, but it is the first time that he can eat and drink like this.
Chen Sanlang asked him to bring a large amount of hot water to come in and bathe.
The shopkeeper didn't say a word, and followed the instructions.
Chen Sanlang didn't let him work in vain, and gave a string of rewards, which amounted to more than 200 yuan. After taking the money, the shopkeeper was full of joy, food and accommodation were free, that was the boss's business, it had nothing to do with him, but the reward was different, it was completely a private welfare that could fall into the pocket, and it was a real benefit.
"Thank you Xie Yuangong!"
After the shopkeeper went out, Chen Sanlang took off his clothes, immersed himself in the wooden barrel water, closed his eyes and pondered. As for Chang'an, when he first came to report, it was equivalent to being unfamiliar with the road of life, where did the noble man fall? If you want to say that there is, it can only be that one.
It seems that the other party expected that he would stay at the Yunlai Inn early in the morning, so he had already made arrangements, and since he entered Chang'an, there were people behind him, most of whom were also his people.
Soliciting and giving favors so carefully is not because Chen Sanlang is a township test solution, but more because of the surgical method he performed in the mountain temple.
"Hey ......"
Suddenly he laughed and started scrubbing himself.
Outside the window, snowflakes are falling from the nine heavens. (To be continued......)
