Occupational sacrifice

Chapter 79

"Uncle said, sir, going to Beijing this time is a bad omen, so be careful everywhere." Zhang Buyi said.

When Kang Youwei heard the words, he wanted to answer them. Do you need to be reminded about this kind of thing?

But Zhang Buyi continued: "Master also said, sir, you have to be careful, not only those stubborn people in the court."

Kang Youwei was stunned for a moment, thinking of something, and said, "How can foreigners meddle in the court?"

Zhang Buyi shook his head and said, "It's not the West, but the Queen Mother in the harem!"

Kang Youwei was taken aback for a second, and then he said in surprise, "You mean... to interfere with politics?"

[Fate +5! 】

[Character fit: -16%]

[Compilation value: +6%]

Fate: 17

The degree of fit is a bit serious, but since I have the opportunity, I have to try whatever I say, what if there are unexpected gains in the future?
While his thoughts flickered, Zhang Buyi nodded and said: "Master Master explained it this way, he said to ask Sir to be careful of the situation of forcing the palace."

Kang Youwei's complexion changed several times, before he said after a long time: "I understand, I will pay attention to it!"

"That's good!" Zhang Buyi breathed a sigh of relief as if he had completed some task.

"Is Taoist Master Zhengsong okay?" Kang Youwei asked after the two were silent for a moment.

Zhang Buyi replied with a smile: "It's good. Uncle's injury was a bit serious back then, and it dragged on for several years, but in the end it was a blessing in disguise. After he recovered from his injury, he was directly promoted."

"Then I can rest assured that almost all of us in Massachusetts owe their lives to the Taoist priest!" Kang Youwei said.

The two chatted for a long time before taking their leave.

Zhang Buyi looked at Kang Youwei who left, his eyes sparkled.He had never influenced the imperial court before, and this time, taking this opportunity, he wanted to try to influence the overall situation in the editorial world.

See if you get anything!
And even if this world is not reality, Zhang Buyi is unwilling to regard it as illusory, preferring to regard it as a parallel world.

Since he has come to this era, if he has the opportunity, he should try it anyway.

······
In the afternoon, the steamer arrived at Jiangshui Lane after a day and a half of sailing.This is not a big site, it will only stop for a while and then leave.

And this is also where Zhang Buyi disembarked.

In fact, this is not the nearest disembarkation point to Zhejiang, but it is the only place to disembark by steamship.The reason why Zhang Buyi came to Jiangshui Lane, apart from seeing the steamship, was also because he wanted to fish!

He came here because of the problem of being on the way, to try the big fish that Chen Lianfang didn't catch at the beginning, the hidden scholar of Daxia!
······
As the port city of the largest waterway in Daxia, Jiangshui Lane is very prosperous even if it is just a temporary stop.

Although in terms of specifications, it is only a county seat, not as good as a prefectural city.But in terms of scale and prosperity, it is actually much better than many secondary prefectures in the inland.

Moreover, it is close to the coast and belongs to the port. This place is like Jingle City more than 30 years later. The impact of Western culture can be seen everywhere, and various originally cheap foreign goods are flooding the high-end market.

In particular, foreign cloth produced by industrial chemicals and various industrial decorations, which should have been super cheap junk in foreign countries, have become top-notch commodities comparable to silk here.

Under such an extreme trade gap, countless amounts of silver and gold were exchanged for boatloads of polyester chemical cloth, showing the weakness and backwardness of Daxia in this era.

The stigma labels of the yellow-skinned monkey and the sick man of East Asia (harmonious) are gradually being marked in such an era, gradually gaining popularity.

It is an unforgettable history of China that lasted for a hundred years, and it is also a shame and a lesson that every son and daughter of China must remember.

If you lag behind, you will be beaten!
As a visitor from later generations, Zhang Buyi is more sensitive and emotional than people living in this era.

Because he came from the era when he regained his pride, the era when the red flag was flying and gradually brightened!

······
Stopping and stopping along the way, looking at today's coastal port cities, Zhang Buyi inevitably felt a little emotional.

Especially when foreigners in suits and leather shoes pass by on the street, and the people of Daxia fearfully give way, showing their humbleness, that kind of emotion is especially difficult to calm down.

"Chirp!"

In the bosom, the little guy who was already very familiar with Zhang Buyi felt Zhang Buyi's depression sensitively. It emerged from Zhang Buyi's skirt and called out softly twice.

And use its soft fox head to gently rub against Zhang Buyi's neck, as if trying to comfort Zhang Buyi and make him feel better.

Zhang Buyi stretched out his hand with a smile, hugged the other's little head, and said, "Don't worry little guy, I'm fine, I'm just a little emotional."

"Chirp!"

Hearing this, the little fox gently rubbed Zhang Buyi's neck with its snow-white fox head, and squinted its eyes, enjoying Zhang Buyi's touch.

One person, one pet, and after walking half a county, Zhang Buyi stopped on a rather bustling street.

"Is there a guest?" Looking at the rather novel name of the inn in front of him, Zhang Buyi remembered the hotel with a strange name like 'Youjian Hotel' in his previous life.

"That's it, although it looks quite expensive, but my young master just has too much money to spend!" Zhang Buyi said to himself, and stepped into the inn.

"My lord, may I ask whether you are staying in a room or in a hotel?" Zhang Buyi had just stepped into the inn when the waiter waiter stepped forward and asked enthusiastically.

Zhang Buyi and the fox head on his neck looked at the surroundings curiously, and replied, "Stay in the hotel!"

"Okay. Young master, please come here!" Xiaoer led Zhang Buyi, walked towards the counter at the side, and asked: "What size room do you need, young man? Our shop has three sizes: Tian, ​​Di, and Ren." The rooms are not full yet."

Zhang Buyi replied with a smile: "What are the prices?"

"One tael of silver per day for a Tianzi store, two hundred pennies per day for a local store, and ten pennies per night for an ordinary room with a Herringbone store." The waiter introduced enthusiastically.

A tael of silver for a day?
Good guy, it's even more expensive than his monthly salary as an intern policeman in Jinglegan!

It seems that there are so many guests here, in this Jiangshui Lane, it should belong to a high-end 'hotel', maybe it is a five-star inn in this era!
"Tianzihao!" Zhang Buyi replied while thinking.

"Okay, how long do you want to stay, my lord?" the waiter asked.

At this time, the two had already arrived at the counter. The shopkeeper at the counter didn't speak, but just looked at the fox head protruding from Zhang Buyi's collar, his eyes flickered.

Zhang Buyi took out a ten tael silver ingot, threw it on the counter, and said: "Let's deposit it first, and make up when it's not enough, and return it if you leave early!"

"Okay!" As the anecdote answered, he quickly recorded a sum in the ledger, then took out a room card, walked out of the counter, and said to Zhang Buyi, "My lord, please go upstairs!"

Zhang Buyi nodded slightly, followed the shopkeeper and walked upstairs.

The waiter who was suddenly thrown aside looked curiously at Zhang Buyi's back, he seemed to be an ordinary scholar, and he didn't see that it was worthy of the shopkeeper's personal reception.

He shook his head, stopped exploring, went back on his own, and continued to run the hall.

······
"This is your room, son. If you need anything, or if you are not used to it, you can bring it to us. It is also possible to change the style.

Because you came early, my lord, there are not many guests today, and many rooms in Tianzihao are still unoccupied.But in the evening, you can't change it, and it is usually full of customers. "The shopkeeper introduced as he opened the room.

Zhang Buyi walked into the room and looked, slightly astonished for a moment.The outside is a wooden building, but the inside decoration is very western style.There is a feeling of Western-style decoration in the 2000s of the previous life.

The only thing that doesn't fit in is that there is no Simmons bed, but a Western-style carved wooden bed.

In addition, there are even toilets with independent toilets.For this era, it is really an extremely high-standard inn.

"Western style?" Zhang Buyi asked in surprise.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper said quite complacently with a smile: "This store specially invited overseas personnel to carefully build it. If you don't like it, you can change it to the traditional style on the opposite side."

Zhang Buyi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I really like this one, let's take this one!"

Following Zhang Buyi's words, the little fox jumped out from Zhang Buyi's neckline and ran around the room.

"Don't break things, or I'll take you to accompany me!" Zhang Buyi watched this scene and warned with a smile.

"Chirp Chirp!" The little fox paused, then turned around and called out angrily.

Zhang Buyi smiled and said nothing, but this humanized action made the shopkeeper's eyes flicker again, and the smile towards Zhang Buyi became more friendly.

Linghu, especially this kind of Linghu with superb appearance and intelligence, has always had a very high status in Daxia, and must be obtained by high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

And in this Jiangshui Lane, due to some special reasons, the status of Zhang Buyi with such a pet is even more noble.

"If the young master is satisfied, then I won't bother the young master." The shopkeeper smiled and left with the intention of seeing the ceremony.

But Zhang Buyi said: "The shopkeeper, as the shopkeeper of Jiangshui Lane, are you familiar with Jiangshui City?"

The shopkeeper paused, and said with a smile: "I can't say I'm familiar with it. I still know a little about the general things. What do you want to know, young master?"

Zhang Buyi nodded and replied: "I wonder if the shopkeeper is familiar with the teahouses in the city?"

"Teahouse?" The shopkeeper asked suspiciously.

Zhang Buyi nodded and said, "Yes, those teahouses where storytellers sit."

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper immediately showed a dazed expression, and said, "It turns out that the young master is doing it for this, and speaking of which, this is also a major feature of our Jiangshui Lane.

Nowadays, in many prefectures in Daxia, the popular ghost story books are actually passed down from us! "

Zhang Buyi nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, I also heard about these legends, and now I happened to be on the way, so I came to have a look, I want to see the first source of these scripts with my own eyes."

The shopkeeper looked at the little fox who was wandering around, and showed a clear expression. Obviously, this is also a lover of pets.

He smiled and replied: "If you talk about teahouses, there are quite a few in the city. Almost every one has a storyteller sitting in the hall. But there should be only three teahouses in the front row."

Zhang Buyi looked at the shopkeeper, didn't answer, and waited for the next sentence.

The shopkeeper organized his words, and then said: "Yuexinzhai in the east of the city, Tianwai in the south of the city, and Fulailou, these three belong to the three major teahouses recognized by our Jiangshui Lane.

The storyteller sitting in the hall is also full of storybooks such as Ghost Painted Skin and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, which are quite popular with scholars like the young master.

Not only are people from the city cheering every day, many scholars like the young master, or businessmen and tourists, will try to hear something new when they pass by.As a result, these places are often overcrowded, and you need to go early to grab a seat. "

Apparently, these three places belong to Jiangshui Lane's "top online celebrity check-in spots", and they are also port cities with convenient transportation.

At this point, the shopkeeper paused again, and said: "If you like it, I can book a seat for you tomorrow. I still have some face for this."

"Oh, is it troublesome?" Zhang Buyi didn't respond immediately, but asked like this.

"No trouble, just a word." The shopkeeper smiled, looked at the little fox meaningfully, and said: "Even if there is no appointment, with the temperament of a young master, he will be regarded as a guest of honor. "

You must know that the words of mountain spirits and ghosts have become popular in Jiangshui Lane, and the consequence is that most people in this city are very curious about these mountain spirits and ghosts, especially creatures like spirit demons, who are the top dignitaries. The ultimate pursuit, a status symbol.

This is the horror of the Wen Dao boss. Even if he lives in seclusion, every unintentional move will affect everything in the city. Daily life and cultural customs may be affected.

Zhang Buyi listened to the other party's compliment-like words, smiled and said, "Thank you for that!"

"You're welcome, it's nothing more than a little effort. Where do you want to go tomorrow, young man?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Let's order one from all three!" Zhang Buyi replied.

The shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked uncertainly: "All three orders?"

Zhang Buyi nodded and asked, "What's the problem?"

"There is nothing wrong with the problem, but although most of these stories tell stories about mountain spirits and ghosts, they are not short. Usually, there are two sessions in the morning and afternoon before you can finish listening to a complete story." The shopkeeper explained.

"It's okay, I'm just here to join in the fun and see novelties, so I may not stay in the city for a long time. So I may not listen to everything. Of course, if he can keep me with his ability, then it's another matter. "Zhang Buyi replied with a smile.

"Is that so, then I will give you an order later and leave a place for you, Young Master." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Do you have any other orders, Young Master?"

Zhang Buyi shook his head and said: "No more, shopkeeper, go and do your work!"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper saluted Zhang Buyi again, then turned and left.
