Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 79
Xiucai sat down on the bed and explained in a low voice that it will be his ancestor's birthday in a few days. When the ancestor was alive, he would open a granary on that day and hold a feast for the elderly and other good deeds. In the future, no matter what the family background is, they must have a kind heart and do good deeds...

Guo Furong patted the scholar and said: "Your ancestors are virtuous, but you can't use the inn's goods to help the poor. You are generous to others. If your ancestors have knowledge, they may jump out of anger."

"I don't have any! These are the leftovers left by the guests. I'm at most picking up some unnecessary things from the kitchen," Xiucai said stubbornly.

"Brother Xiucai! For the time being, your idea is right or wrong, but have you forgotten that those things are unwanted by others? Even the poor would not eat them, and the weather is so hot that you should have left them in the house for so many days. It's broken," Zhang Chen said with a knife.

At this moment, Dazui suddenly realized. He muttered to himself why there was always a strange smell in the house these days. It turned out to be the smell of rotten food.

The scholar muttered to himself in a daze after being beaten by several people. Seeing this, Zhang Chen shrugged and sent out the last wave of lore and said:

"Brother Xiucai! You have forgotten the most important thing, that is, you are still a poor person. In comparison, I feel that you need relief more, so this matter still needs to be done according to your ability."

After hearing this, Lu Xiucai was shocked and hid in the quilt to pretend to be dead. The three of them divided the beef jerky after seeing this. Zhang Chen and Guo Furong quietly left when Dazui nodded to express his understanding.

Zhang Chen and Guo Furong chewed the beef jerky slowly, Guo Furong gave her thumbs up in admiration to show that the taste was excellent, Zhang Chen proudly raised his head and waved his hands as if saying that it was all trivial .

The two separated. Zhang Chen took the beef jerky and walked back to the hall to go upstairs, but was stopped by Bai Zhantang who was resting in the hall. Bai Zhantang said with a smile:

"Why is it so long today? According to the rules, good things need to be shared in half"

Zhang Chen asked suspiciously, "Aren't you asleep?"

Bai Zhantang said proudly that he was going to sleep, but when he saw you quietly going to the back kitchen, he knew there was something good to eat, so he just stayed here and waited, "Don't think I don't know what you and Dazui did secretly, hand it over quickly, I can smell a good smell."

Unexpectedly, there were so many accidents in this operation. First, he met Xiao Guo, then Xiucai and Bai on the way home. Zhang Chen felt that it was so difficult to eat something good, and then gave some beef jerky to Bai Zhantang.

Bai Zhantang asked with a smile what happened in the back kitchen, and Zhang Chen explained the matter of the scholar in detail.

Bai Zhantang gnawed his fingers and analyzed that since it was his ancestral precept, Xiucai would not give up his actions, and he would definitely make some moves in the future. Most likely, he would also collect those leftovers. After all, Xiucai has nothing else to do except this trick. There is a way to get these meals, but other things need money.

After discussing for a while in the hall, the two decided to help Xiucai. If you don’t know, forget it. Now that you know that you are a brother, you must help. After you have a rough plan, you will separate and rest, and plan to talk about it tomorrow...

The figure of the moon gradually recedes, and the newborn sun shines everywhere!

The next day, because it was still early, there were no guests in the inn. Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang called a meeting to discuss how to help Xiucai complete his family's ancestral precepts.

Dazui was the first to speak and said, "It's not as simple as buying some food and then cooking some delicious dishes to distribute."

Hearing this, everyone stared at Da Zui to signal who would pay the money, and Da Zui laughed and said, "Haha! This is a problem, you keep saying that I don't exist"

Seeing that Dazui was not talking, Zhang Chen took out a piece of paper and distributed the paper to everyone to explain his and Bai Zhantang's plan. If it is done well, it will not only help the scholar complete the ancestral instruction, but also show his face in the town.

Tong Xiangyu was not interested in what was said before, but when she heard that she could show her face, her interest immediately increased. Apart from money, it was only because the inn could stand out and let her show off outside that excited her, so she quickly asked what was the way. Zhang Chen pointed at the door meaningfully. Outside millet.

Xiucai suddenly came out from the backyard and everyone put away the paper on the table. Zhang Chen said that he had to go to the county government to inform him at night if he wanted to implement the plan.

After finishing speaking, he left with a thud, and as the time progressed, the number of guests in the inn gradually increased, and everyone began to be busy, but what was different from usual was that every time the table was cleared, there would be a figure rushing to the front of the Baizhan Hall to take away the leftovers. Food, let Bai Zhantang sigh, is this still our family's powerless scholar?He didn't even see the speed clearly.

Seeing that Xiucai was still unwilling to take these things, Bai Zhantang had no choice but to ignore him and wait for news from Zhang Chen.

After Zhang Chen came out of the inn, he happened to meet Xing Butou and Xiao Liu patrolling the street on the street. Zhang Chen said hello and asked where he was going.

Xing Butou patted the purse and said, "It's not because of Xiaoliu's performance recently. I'm going to go to the inn to get a roast chicken to reward him."

Yan Xiaoliu looked anxiously at Xing Butou and nodded frantically in agreement. Seeing this, Zhang Chen waved his big hand to Xing Butou's side, implying that something good happened and asked him to go to the county government to find Lou Zhixian.

Catcher Xing's eyes lit up, these few times were all due to Zhang Chen's help, the feeling of hugging his thigh was really great, and he immediately agreed to turn around and leave with Zhang Chen, Yan Xiaoliu looked at the two who left quickly and said: " Master, what is my reward?"

Xing Tutou's voice came from afar, "Xiao Liu, go to the inn to order food yourself! Put it on my account"

Hearing this, Yan Xiaoliu muttered to himself in a low voice, "If shopkeeper Tong knew that you were the one who kept the books, I wouldn't necessarily have to eat all the time. I'd better spend the money myself."

Xing Butou took Zhang Chen to the county government quickly and had acquaintances, which is good. This time, he went directly to the inner office of the county government without notifying him. Xing Butou went to report and soon followed Lou Zhixian to the hall.

After Zhang Chen was seated at the ceremony, Lou Zhixian even asked with a smile what good things happened this time. Although the academy’s activities last time were small in scale, the effect was excellent. Lou Zhixian polished up the county’s cultural and educational achievements in the memorial It was also praised by the prefect.

That's why Zhang Chen came to Lou Zhi County with some excitement to meet him this time. If there are good things this time, his test results this year will definitely be rated high.

Seeing the smile on Lou Zhixian's face, Zhang Chen knew that he was safe this time, and handed the paper in his arms to Lou Zhixian. After Lou Zhixian took it and watched it carefully, he couldn't help but said excitedly:
"Is this what you thought? It really is a fearsome young man. The county will definitely cooperate with this matter..."

　Thanks for the support!
