Chapter 117: The Inn

The third is to ask for tickets and collections.

##

On the evening of the sixth day of the seventh month, Su Jin and a few people came to the west gate of Yingtianfu, and when they saw that it was getting late, they settled down temporarily in a small market town five or six miles outside the city gate.

Normally, Luzhou is a four-day trip from Yingtianfu, because they still need to find a house to settle in Yingtianfu, Su Jin and his entourage have to travel day and night, and it only took three days to arrive in Yingtianfu.

A few people asked for five guest rooms next to each other, and instructed the shopkeeper to prepare a hot water bath, and after days of hard work, several people were already dusty, although they were also in the inn on the road, but they had not taken a serious bath because of fatigue; This is back to the ground, and there is no need to worry about the delay of the trip, so it is natural to take a good bath.

A few people took a shower happily, changed into dry clothes, and one by one seemed to be a different person, looking refreshed and radiant.

Huanniang and Xiao Sui'er came over to help Su Jin tie up her hair for a long time, Su Jin changed into a light green Confucian shirt, with purple hair tied on her head, and even more stinky took a folding fan in her hand to be elegant, and a group of people came to the lobby to eat.

The shopkeeper saw that Su Jin was extraordinary, and personally came up to greet him: "This little official, but he came from afar?" Craving something to eat? ”

After ordering some dishes casually, Su Jin said with a smile: "The shopkeeper's good eyesight, how can you see that we are from out of town?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "The prince came in the dust, and he spoke with a southern accent, and he could guess even if he was blind." ”

Su Jin laughed, and the shopkeeper said with a smile: "What's more, we should Tianfu Academy is about to open, and there is an endless stream of students, and the little officials must also come to the academy to study." ”

Su Jin admired, raised his finger and smiled: "The shopkeeper's pair of eagle and falcon eyes, knowing people to the bone, this can be guessed by you." ”

The shopkeeper actually had a hint of shyness on his face, as if he had been praised for the first time, and pointed to a few people in the corner of the lobby: "You also came to study over there, but you came from the capital, and the old man guessed that you also came to study in the academy based on their identities." ”

Su Jin turned his head to look, and saw that there was indeed a thin figure in the corner with rich clothes sitting with his back to him, and several people who accompanied the appearance of servants sat sideways on the stool and buried their heads in eating.

Su Jin smiled: "Why do people from the capital still come here to study?" There are hundreds of schools in Bianliang City, and there are many literati and doctors, do you have to come to this Yingtian Academy? ”

The shopkeeper said: "Little official, you don't know something, our Ying Tianfu is not an ordinary place, how many people in the world want to come here to get lucky, not to mention students like you, coming to study in Tianfu should be the expectation of the world's scholars." ”

Xiao Sui'er pouted and rolled her eyes and said, "Bragging......!" ”

The shopkeeper was in a hurry, turned to her and said, "Little lady, don't believe it, when did my money Sitong say nonsense?" The little lady doesn't know, there is a reason here. ”

Su Jin became interested and asked with a smile, "What is the reason?" If my husband is not busy with affairs, can you tell me to open my eyes? ”

Qian Sitong's shopkeeper looked around, the whole lobby was eating at two or three tables, the two guys on the counter were enough to deal with, he was also a master who loved to chat, so he simply sat down and shook his head and said: "Do you know that the grandfather of this dynasty was born in Yingtian, and the name of this place was Songzhou at that time. Later, the grandfather won the world, and the ministers gave the grandfather the title of 'Emperor Yingtian Guangyun Rensheng Wenwu Zhide Emperor', which had the word Yingtian, so the emperor renamed this place Yingtianfu. ”

Su Jin's spirit was shocked, and he said, "Oh? And such allusions? ”

Qian Sitong said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the little officials are studying hard every day, and they don't hear anything outside the window, this Yingtianfu in the land of dragon diving is a land of good luck, and the little officials are going to study in our Yingtian Academy, so they should know the reason here." ”

Su Jin said: "I am lonely and unheard, and the shopkeeper is smiling." ”

Qian Sitong came to the momentum, and pointed to the table with his hand and said: "Although the little official doesn't know the origin of Yingtianfu, but the way to study here is right, this Yingtian Academy is very famous, and with the fortune of the great grandfather, there are many people." ”

Xiao Sui'er pouted again and said, "It's blowing again." ”

Qian Sitong hurriedly said: "How is it blowing, we should have a lot of champions in Tianfu Tanhualang, don't talk about it far away, let's just say that this dynasty, in the Tiansheng years, there were champions Wang Yaochen, Tanhualang Zhao Nuo, and then Fan Xiwen, Zhang Fangping, Fu Bi, Sun Fu, Shi Jie and other important ministers of the imperial court, contemporary Confucianism, don't say anything else, Fan Xiwen Fan Gong, you should know, right?" ”

Xiao Sui'er shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

Xiao Zhu shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

The money shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said, "How are you ...... Isn't it my Great Song Dynasty? ”

Su Jin saw that the shopkeeper was familiar with the story, and his words were kind, so he couldn't bear to be anxious, and said with a smile: "Isn't it Fan Zhongyan Fan?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's him, it's Lord Fan, the petty official deserves to be a scholar, if even Lord Fan doesn't know, then it's really a laugh for others."

Xiao Sui'er was not happy, and said with wide eyes: "You mean this girl is ridiculous?" ”

The shopkeeper didn't expect that his words would be inappropriate, so he hurriedly apologized at every turn: "Old and decayed gaffes, gaffes, don't blame the little lady." ”

Xiao Sui'er sneered: "What's the use of you knowing?" It's not that I opened a shop here to sell alcohol, and I haven't seen much better than me. ”

"Yes, yes, old decay offended." The shopkeeper is worthy of being a businessman, and he has a better attitude of admitting mistakes.

Su Jin and Huanniang looked at each other and grinned, this little spike has never been a master to be messed with, seeing the shopkeeper's blushing face and thick neck, he hurriedly smiled: "Don't blame the boss, my little maid is this temper, talking is like putting a knife, hurry up and help me wait for the wine and food, I am almost hungry in my lower stomach." ”

Qian Sitong hurriedly withdrew, urging the cook to hurry up and serve the food, while pointing out Xiao Sui'er to the young men, asking them to deal with it carefully, the little lady is not easy to mess with.

A few people were indeed hungry, the wine and food came up, Su Jin made an exception to allow Xiaozhu and other three coachmen to drink some wine, they were actually the hardest on the way, Su Jin and the others could still take a nap in the carriage, and the three of them could only catch the car with sweat and rain in the scorching sun.

Xiao Sui'er only took a bite and stuck out her tongue and said: "This dish is too ordinary, and this craft is still open, and I don't know how many people will come to eat it in a year." ”

Qian Sitong heard it really well, but pretended to settle the account, beat the abacus beads so loudly that he didn't even dare to raise his head, and silently read in his heart: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise." ”

Su Jin tasted it, it was really not good, except for the spicy taste in his mouth, he couldn't taste anything, Xiao Zhuzi and the other two chariot boys and the four guards of the dynasty Mahan and other four guards ate quite fragrantly, and their mouths were clattering.

Xiao Sui'er frowned and said, "Are you pigs?" You can also talk about this unpalatable dish. ”

Xiao Zhuzi chewed the mouthful of mutton and swallowed it with difficulty, and then said with a smile: "Sister Sui'er, I think it's very good, this is outside, compared to the wine and food in Hefenglou, it is more than ten million miles worse, but compared to being hungry, this is a delicacy." ”

When Su Jin heard him say the word Hefenglou, his heart trembled, and Yan Biyun's beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but turn pale.

None of the others noticed the change in Su Jin's facial expression, only Huanniang frowned slightly, and glanced at Su Jin worriedly.

The dishes were unappetizing, and the words touched the sore spots, Su Jin lost his appetite all of a sudden, so he asked Xiao Sui'er to order three bowls of silver silk noodles, and deliberately emphasized that there were no chili peppers, no peppercorns, no mutton soup, just a bowl of clear water noodles.

The shopkeeper did as he was told, and he was puzzled, thinking: How delicious the chili pepper is, how appetizing it is, how delicious the mutton soup is, these sons and brothers obviously eat their mouths on weekdays, and they don't eat the noodles with clear water and noodles.

The happiest are Xiao Zhuzi and Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others, the table full of wine and food are owned by a few of them, this time they open their bellies to eat and drink, and the fatigue and hard work along the way are thrown out of the clouds in this big eating and drinking.
