Chapter 4: The Scholar

"The shopkeeper seems to be arguing with someone?"

Next to him is an apprentice who cooks groceries in the kitchen, slightly older than Chen Li. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The surname is Wang, the second name, fourteen or fifteen years old, the appearance is ordinary, the figure is quite tall, and some strong, only at this age, I am afraid that the body is already more than 1.7 meters.

According to himself, he is a relative of the shopkeeper, and he is also lively on weekdays.

Xu couldn't find friends to play, but he often chatted with Chen Li.

At this time, he was helping to chop vegetables, and he also heard the movement in the front hall, and couldn't help but be curious.

"I'll take a look. ”

When Chen Li heard this, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something familiar to him in the shopkeeper's words, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious, and drove towards the front hall.

This is also him, there is no restraint in the inn, otherwise if he is someone else, unless he is greeted by a shopkeeper, he will not have the leisure time to see the excitement.

Wang Er looked at Chen Li who left the kitchen, shook his head slightly, and was a little envious, but he didn't think much about it, and instead lowered his head and continued to do his own thing.

He is not Chen Li, so free, for himself and for his family, he can't do whatever he wants like Chen Li.

......

After walking a few steps, Chen Li came to the front hall.

The first person I saw was the shopkeeper standing in the counter, with a slightly thin figure, wearing a green hat, a clean and thick gray robe, a cyan horse coat on the upper body, a short beard on the chin, and a somewhat snobbish appearance.

And the one who confronted the shopkeeper and made this movement was a handsome scholar, who had a handsome face and a weak body, but he was born with a good appearance.

It's just that.

An old scholar's uniform with patches sewn on, and a shabby one on his back, show his family background.

"You scholar, with a small book that has been pasted, you want to cheat me out of the money? You don't inquire, my king's shopkeeper's reputation in this Guobei County, get out of here, get out of here, I still have to do business, don't get the eyes of the guests here." ”

The shopkeeper looked a little unhappy, his chin was slightly raised, his eyes were pruning at the scholar, and his mouth did not forget to mock.

The scholar smiled bitterly, holding a rotten book in his hand, and he didn't know whether to continue to hand it out or take it back, in a dilemma, and seemed quite helpless.

He also knew that there was some truth in what the shopkeeper said.

It's just that this ledger is messy, and it is not what he wants, if it weren't for the heavy rain on the road and some unlucky things, the ledger would not have become like this.

Thinking of this, the scholar's face became more and more bitter.

It's just a matter of thinking that he is a scholar and has been reduced to the point of collecting accounts for others, but now he has traveled thousands of miles to a different place, but he has even messed up things, which is really uncomfortable for him.

"The shopkeeper, Xiaosheng is really here to collect the accounts for others, this account is wet because of the heavy rain on the road, Xiaosheng has read the sage book since he was a child, there is no intention of deception, and I hope that the shopkeeper can settle the accounts, and Xiaosheng will return to his hometown. ”

Although the scholar seems to be powerless, his personality is tenacious and tolerant, and he did not give up because of the shopkeeper's words, nor was he angry because of the shopkeeper's bad attitude.

On the contrary, he continued to persuade him, hoping that the shopkeeper would keep his word.

"Hey, you scholar, do you really have no temper? If you don't leave, I'll have someone throw you out." ”

The shopkeeper didn't want this scholar to be so difficult, and he was a little angry at the moment.

Seeing this, the scholar was also a little anxious, but he did not retreat according to the shopkeeper's words, but continued: "Shopkeeper, Xiaosheng really accepts ......."

"Collect, collect, collect, what to collect, if you don't leave, don't blame me, Wang Er! Come out and put this scholar out. ”

It's okay that the scholar doesn't speak, but as soon as he speaks, the shopkeeper Wang can't bear his temper, and he opens his mouth to let Wang Er do it.

"Wait!"

Seeing this, Chen Li didn't continue to watch the excitement on the side.

Seeing this familiar scene of Fang Cai, he faintly had some guesses about the identity of the scholar, most of his cultivation dreams still rely on Lanruo Temple, and naturally he will not let the shopkeeper Wang beat the scholar out.

Chen Li's voice was not small, and as soon as the words came out, he attracted everyone's attention, and the shopkeeper Wang looked at him suspiciously.

On weekdays, Chen Li helps with some chores, but rarely cares about the affairs of the inn, but I don't know how he ran out at this time.

"The king is in charge, slow down, do business, and value harmony. We are also polite people, and this brother is also a scholar, but he can't be so rude to a scholar. ”

Before the shopkeeper Wang could speak, Chen Li spoke first.

When the scholar heard Chen Li's words, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a confidant, but he echoed: "This ...... Well, what this little brother said is true, if the shopkeeper doesn't want Xiaosheng, you and I can be reasonable, and Xiaosheng is willing to explain again. ”

Interpretation?

Explain a fart, the shopkeeper Wang is heartbroken.

If it weren't for Chen Li, where would he pay so much attention, he would have let Wang Er do it a long time ago, how could he still have the idea of reasoning with scholars.

Thinking like this in his heart, the king's shopkeeper groaned slightly, but said:

"Nephew Chen Xian, I don't know what you mean by this, isn't it that you have an old relationship with this scholar?"

If Chen Lizhen had an old relationship with the scholar in front of him, he wouldn't really do anything to the scholar.

Of course, this is not that Chen Li has any kindness to the shopkeeper Wang, but that the shopkeeper Wang is worried about the benefits brought by Chen Li.

After Chen Li came to this inn, he didn't just teach the chef to stir-fry, many of the changes he inadvertently brought to the inn were nothing in Chen Li's opinion, but in the eyes of the shopkeeper Wang, who knew it well, it was not ordinary.

His inn can become so popular in a short period of time, but it can't be achieved with a few stir-fried dishes.

Chen Li shook his head, he didn't think as much as the shopkeeper Wang, he just thought that the other party still looked at him for some face, and said at the moment: "The shopkeeper thinks about it a lot, but I think this brother is not a bad person, listening to his accent, it is not like a person from Guobei County, if you want to come, you will not come to the inn from other places to defraud the silver money in order to defraud some silver taels." If the shopkeeper is suspicious of the account book, it is just a matter of verifying with this brother, and if it is a real account, it is not difficult for the shopkeeper to have only two silver. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he groaned, he didn't mean to embarrass the scholar, he just had some careful thoughts, and the other party really confused the accounts and took the lead in the loss.

Now that I have listened to Chen Li's words, I have inevitably changed my mind.

Moreover, according to his personal accidents for so many years, he couldn't see that Chen Li had other thoughts about the scholar in front of him, and he didn't want to offend Chen Li, the God of Wealth.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper nodded and said, "That's it, since the virtuous nephew is talking, the scholar, once you bring the account to me, if it is true, I will give you the money." ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper. ”

When the scholar heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his face was happy, and he hurriedly said to the shopkeeper.

Of course, he didn't forget Chen Li, a noble man, and said to Chen Li at the moment: "Thank you little brother for your help, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

Chen Li stopped and smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's a trivial matter, brother Tai doesn't have to be serious." ”

"By the way, in Xia Chenli, I don't know the name of Brother Taizun. ”

Hearing Chen Li's words, the scholar was slightly stunned, but simply said:

"In Xia Ning Caichen. ”
