Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 189

The next day, a few cock crows of "Oh! Oh!" woke up everyone.

Zhang Chen took a breath and walked down the stairs slowly. Last night he went to Shenhou Mansion to find Yayu. The two chatted for a long time under the moonlit night, and it was late at night without paying attention.

No, I was still yawning when I woke up this morning, as if I didn't wake up.

Bai Zhantang looked at Zhang Chen and said, "I thought you wouldn't come back yesterday!"

Bai Zhantang winked his eyebrows with a wretched expression.

Xiaobei came out bouncing around, and saw Zhang Chen coming to him quickly with bright eyes, and handed him the exquisite doll in his arms!

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "How about it, do you still like this gift?"

Mo Xiaobei nodded frantically, the things Zhang Chen gave were really in line with her wishes, and they were much better than those pens, inks, papers and inkstones sent by his sister-in-law.

"Little ancestor, what are you doing running so fast, you don't have to go to the academy today"

Guo Furong, who followed closely, said.

Mo Xiaobei said with a smile: "Of course I know that I don't need to go to the academy today, I have already made an appointment with Qiu Xiaodong and the others to go out and play!"

Zhang Chen was taken aback for a moment, as if he heard some familiar name, he answered subconsciously: "Qiu Xiaodong? Such a familiar name, it can't be the person I thought of!"

Guo Furong shrugged and explained: "That's right, that's the person you were thinking of, and the player and his family moved to the capital."

This surprised Zhang Chen. It is not so easy to meet each other in such a big capital. Qiu Xiaodong and Xiao Bei became classmates. Could it be fate in the dark.

Tong Xiangyu slowly walked out of the downstairs, and then said: "It's not just Qiu Yuanwai, I also received a letter from Lao Xing a few days ago, saying that he and Xiaoliu might be transferred to the capital."

Zhang Chen looked in disbelief, it wasn't that he belittled Uncle Xing, with his level of handling cases, if he wanted to be transferred to the capital, he might have to have a backer behind him.

Tong Xiangyu said with a smile: "Don't underestimate Lao Xing, after we left, Lao Xing also handled a lot of cases.

Lou Magistrate’s term of office is up, and I heard that he has received an order from the Ministry of Officials to come to the Yamen in the capital to be the chief official..."

Zhang Chen instantly understood that it was not Uncle Xing who was promoted by virtue of his ability to handle cases, but that Lou Zhi County needed manpower for his promotion. Although Uncle Xing was a bit unreliable, this was not necessarily a shortcoming for him in Lou Zhi County.

After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Zhang Chen said with a smile: "This is a good thing! After we came to the capital, we don't have so many friends around, so the shopkeeper can feel at ease now."

Tong Xiangyu nodded with a smile.

Xiao Bei, who was at the side, was already impatient listening to everyone talking, and he had to rush out to meet his classmates.

After Xiaobei shook her head and said a few words, she picked up the steamed buns on the table and ran out. Tong Xiangyu yelled a few times but did not stop her.

Looking at her leaving figure, Zhang Chen shook his head with a smile. When the child mentioned playing, he even forgot about eating.

At this time, Dazui served the breakfast one by one, and shouted into the hall: "Come on, the last millet porridge to nourish the stomach, drink it while it's hot! Drink it while it's hot!"

In this way, everyone gathered around the long table and had a good breakfast.

The time passed unknowingly, and soon it was noon, and it was the peak time of dining, and many guests came to the inn one after another.

Everyone started to greet the guests, and after a while of work, they had time to rest for a while.

Zhang Chen sat at the long table, chatting nonsense with Bai Zhantang, and Xiucai interrupted from time to time at the counter.

At this time, two people dressed as Taoists stood outside the door of the inn, talking in front of the door.

"Master, the Tianhe Medical Center is opposite us, why do we have to stay in the inn! We don't have much money!"

Said the young man dressed as a Daoist.

"What do you know, look at your dusty appearance, how can someone who comes to the door look at you in this outfit!"

Another Taoist scolded.

"Oh! But master..."

Xiaodaotong hesitated to speak, wanted to say something but was afraid of being scolded by his master.

"It just so happens that this is an inn. No matter what we say, we have to change our outfits to make outsiders look down on us."

After all, the middle-aged Taoist stepped into the inn first.

"Second guest officers, do you want to be a top player or stay in a hotel?"

Bai Zhantang greeted him with a smile.

Zhang Chen watched the two with great interest.

Although Zhang Chen didn't listen to the conversation between the two just now, his excellent hearing ability still heard the discussion between the two of them clearly.

They mentioned the Tianhe Medical Hall, and looking at the dusty attire, they seemed to be preparing to steal a kiss.

From the simple words of the boy, Zhang Chen can guess that he must be a person born in the world. He usually practiced in the mountains and rarely communicated with the outside world.

Otherwise, that Taoist boy wouldn't have said what he just said. It is obvious that he doesn't understand a little bit about human relationships in the world, so he must be a practitioner in the Taoist sect.

The Taoist priest is experienced, and he seems to be a person with a long history of experience in the world, but these two people seem to have come to the capital after a long journey, and they are still related to Tianhe Medical Center during this period, which is not a good thing.

The middle-aged Taoist priest first glanced around the hall, seeing that there were many guests in the lobby, and it was a lively scene, so the middle-aged Taoist priest nodded in satisfaction.

Then he replied: "Stay in the hotel, prepare a room for us master and apprentice first, and then prepare some hot water for us later"

After remembering the request, Bai Zhantang asked, "It's at noon, and the guests don't need to eat anything. This restaurant has good drinks, and the top chef is in charge. Even in this capital city, it is still ranked first." of"

Bai Zhantang introduced it, which made the Taoist boy's eyes shine, and he looked eager to eat.

"Ahem, my master and apprentice have already had lunch, you can arrange a room for us first, and we will talk about the rest later"

The middle-aged Taoist coughed vigorously, and then said to Bai Zhantang.

Bai Zhantang had nothing to do, he was busy gossiping about what happened to Zhang Chen last night, and he didn't hear the discussion between the two outside the door.

Seeing this middle-aged Taoist now, he pretended to be an expert, and he subconsciously thought that this guy didn't have much money in his pocket.

With this attire, it is difficult for Bai Zhantang to believe that he is a rich man, but this middle-aged Taoist still has to pretend to be an outsider.

The corners of Bai Zhantang's mouth twitched slightly, he held back his smile with great perseverance, turned around and led them to the guest room upstairs.

A quarter of an hour later, Bai Zhantang delivered the hot water to their room, and then Bai Zhantang returned to the lobby.

As soon as he sat down, Bai Zhantang complained: "This master is quite interesting. He looks sophisticated on the surface, but his behavior is a bit unexpected."

Zhang Chen nodded in agreement. The master and apprentice were a little interesting, with a feeling of being strong on the outside but doing something on the inside.

　Thanks for the support!
