Chapter 274: See you in Jin (Part 1)
Jinling Caijia Inn
Early in the morning, it was dawn and many people got up.
The inn servants were busy carrying water and chopping wood to entertain guests. Some merchants who were rushing to the road in the early morning had eaten with water early. Therefore, in the morning, more than a dozen inn servants were so busy that they almost turned to the sky.
After a while, several guys wiped the sweat from their foreheads and let out a long sigh. There was not much work left. Although the monthly money was pretty good, the daily busyness was not easy!
Seeing that there were fewer people, the guys started to gather together. The fried dough sticks were freshly fried. There were some boiling water in our store. They were boiling hot and fragrant. If you can’t eat soy milk, you can still use some boiling water. Three or four guys started eating fried dough sticks, two fried dough sticks per person.
"Hey, have you heard that?" said a guy: "I opened a new old chicken shop this year."
"I heard that the Ma family is separated. The three brothers fought a war. The eldest brother saved the soup pot, and the second brother and the third brother started their own business."
"The delicious braised chicken depends on one pot of soup. Can the second and third brothers do it?"
"There are prescriptions and heavy soup pots that will taste good in a few years, and of course they are authentic and still have their own old friends."
As he was talking, the shopkeeper came in outside and several people rushed forward to greet him.
As usual, I talked about my work this morning and wrote down the shopkeeper's.
As he turned around and left, the shopkeeper remembered something and looked back at the few people: "By the way, did the third courtyard in the south send hot water and breakfast?"
"The third courtyard near the south?"
Several guys shook their heads, and the guy Hao Er asked, "Shopkeeper, there are only two scholars living there. They have never told me to send hot water to wash their feet later... Could it be that what did the two say?"
"The new guests there are some origins. Even if they don't say anything, don't neglect them. I'll let some water on the stove and get some fresh soy milk and fried dough sticks. You will send them over later." Manager Yu said, and walked out. Several guys were full of suspicion and had to keep up.
Manager Yu went to the stove in person and ordered preparations.
"Shopkeeper, the hot water is ready!" The shopkeeper ordered that the business be done quickly. In a short while, a pot of hot water was boiled, and six fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk were completed.
"I sent it to the Third Hospital of the South. I heard that they had the habit of early reading. I was afraid they had woken up at this time. I served them hard and washed their faces. They were wearing something bad, but they were of some background. They always made money when doing business. Don't cause trouble for neglecting customers. Moreover, it's just a small amount of money. If you keep it in the account, you don't have to worry about not paying it back!"
"Yes, the shopkeeper!" After hearing what Manager Yu said, a guy took the water and Hao Er took the breakfast and headed back, while the shopkeeper followed behind and rushed to the yard.
The morning light along the way was just a glimmer of light, and the trees were dim. The wind blew, making people feel cold, and the snow on the road creaked.
If some customers hadn't gotten up early in the morning, the guy would have been more willing to send hot water to various courtyards later.
"Shopkeeper, what is the origin of the people living inside?" On the way, Hao Er couldn't help but approach him and asked.
Manager Yu looked at it and said, "You haven't seen the butler of Zhao's Mansion who came yesterday?"
Several people remembered what Manager Yu said.
"Zhao family, which Zhao family, is it still the Zhao family of Jinling Yin?"
Manager Yu burst into laughter when he heard this: "It's really the housekeeper of the Yin Yin Mansion of Jinling! Who is Lord Zhao? He is Wenquxing descending to earth, and he is the most trusted minister of the King of Chu. He is the third-rank Jinling Yin!"
"The housekeeper of Zhao's mansion comes to us. Who are you looking for? He came to find these two scholars and gave invitations. Although he couldn't guess what the two people had to do with the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion, he always had some background. If you can't offend him, you should not offend him. It's better to be kind and make money!"
After hearing what Manager Yu said, the few people nodded repeatedly.
"What the shopkeeper said is very true! Although these two people are dressed in ordinary clothes and don't look like the ones from any family, they can't underestimate just because they have some contact with the housekeeper of Zhao. If it weren't for the shopkeeper, you would remind them that the young one would offend the distinguished guest!" Hao Erhui spoke and quickly smiled and complimented.
When Manager Yu heard this, he smiled and cursed a few times.
As they spoke, the group came to the courtyard, which was the farthest from the gate. Because they were next to the back door, there were not many guests and the surroundings seemed very secluded.
At the gate of this courtyard, several big trees are planted. Although the leaves have long withered in the cold winter and the crown looks very loose, it has a shade, which makes the place more and more cold.
When you arrive in front of the door, there is no need to call the shopkeeper Yu. The guy put the bucket on the ground and went to push the wooden door.
With a creak, the door opened.
Several people looked at each other, and it seemed that the two of them had already gotten up.
When the water-lifting guy went in, Hao Er shouted: "Hot water and breakfast are here, have the guest officer get up?"
"Get up!" As he said that, two people came out.
These two men, one of them, was about thirty years old, with broad eyebrows and slightly thin cheeks, and had a smile on their cheeks. They were wearing a blue shirt inside and a cotton robe of the same color on the outside. They looked simple, but they were clean and neat, with a fresh atmosphere.
As soon as he came out, he bowed his hand and said with a smile: "I'm working hard."
It turns out that this person is Ma Yuan.
He came out with Ma Yuan. He was a man in his forties, wearing a light blue robe and a royal blue cotton robe on his face. He had ordinary facial features and rules in every move. He looked better in his family, but he was a congratulatory letter.
As Ma Yuan spoke, the congratulatory letter nodded to the person outside, and leaned to the side, allowing the guy to carry hot water in.
The two of them chatted with the shopkeeper for a few more words, washed their faces with hot water, and rinsed their mouths.
When the shopkeeper left, he knew that even if these two scholars had nothing to do with the housekeeper of the Zhang family, they only looked at their conversation and temperament and were authentic scholars.
After seeing off the guy, Ma Yuan stepped forward, closed the wooden door again, and walked back to the outer hall.
The congratulatory letter is here for a while.
"Brother He, please!" Ma Yuan smiled and bowed to the Congratulations, sat down and had breakfast together.
The two were born in poverty and did not come from a wealthy family, but their etiquette was very good. When they were using breakfast, they did not speak a word. This is the ancient saying of "no food".
After using it, the Cong Xin made tea with his own hands, handed Ma Yuan one, and held one to him to taste and drink it carefully.
All they made was the cheapest tea, but for them, it was already good.
The two of them didn't come all the way, but they gathered here to stay in a hotel. They had a certain relationship between them, and they couldn't help but sigh at the word "destiny", so they lived in the first hospital.
Both of them came to Jinling alone, and living in one courtyard was too luxurious.
Now, it is amazing to be able to discuss some knowledge with each other.
However, even though the two had a good relationship, they only chatted for a while after dinner, and soon returned to their rooms to study.
For people like them, knowledge has been rooted in their lives. It can be said that books are life.
Both of them are book lovers, and they are usually enjoying themselves. In addition to studying, they are also studying.
It was dawning.
Because of the cold winter, there was no sound of birds and insects, and the brazier in the house was very hot, and the room for the two was very warm.
The two of them sat or lie down, holding a book in their hands, and they were very enthused.
Let’s talk about Zhang Youzhi’s mansion. Before dawn, Zhang Youzhi went to the palace.
Zhang Youzhi's wife Lin did not forget the husband's explanation yesterday and ordered the housekeeper: "Prepare two silvers and go to the Caijia Inn and give each of these two scholars one."
The housekeeper agreed, went to the account to get two silver letters, got on the carriage, and went to the Caijia Inn.
There was nothing to say all the way, and the road was very short. In front of the Cai Family Inn, the butler of the Zhang family got off the car and asked the coachman to wait outside. Then the two servants carried the package and walked in.
As soon as he entered the inn, he was seen by the shopkeeper Yu who was inspecting him in front of him. He hurriedly stepped forward and said hello: "Oh, isn't this Mr. Zhang?"
The butler of the Zhang family was named Zhang Yi, who was an old man following Zhang Youzhi. He didn't put on any airs in front of the inn shopkeeper, and waved his hand with a smile: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper Yu!"
"Haha, it's cold outside, please come in quickly. I'll ask my friend to make you a cup of hot tea?" Without asking why, Manager Yu hurriedly gave in.
Zhang Yi said, "I have something to do, so I'll have tea next time!"
"I wonder if the villain can help?" Seeing this, Manager Yu had to say.
"I just came to visit the two gentlemen, but I don't have to worry about the shopkeeper." Zhang Yi walked inside and said resolutely.
Seeing this, Manager Yu guessed that he was going to meet two scholars, named Hao Er, and guided Zhang Yi.
Although he had been here once, Zhang Yi refused to do so and took it with a smile.
The group of three people, led by Hao Er, entered inside.
"Shopkeeper Yu, is the butler from Grand Secretary Zhang's mansion?" There was a restaurant in front of the inn. Zhang Yi was not dressed in a eye-catching manner, but a few of them saw it, and someone came over to ask.
Manager Yu nodded and said, "Yes!"
"I can't tell that this butler looks very kind and dresses ordinary, and doesn't look like the butler of the third-rank prime minister at all!"
Manager Yu stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Sir Zhang is a rigorous person. The housekeeper in the house has his own style and cannot be compared with ordinary people!"
“That’s right.”
Several people were talking in a low voice here, but they didn't know that behind a table by the window, a sitting guest was using breakfast. The man was not tall, had a national face and a pair of bright eyes. He saw the scene just now. After watching it, he lowered his head and drank soy milk, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Mr. He, Mr. Ma!"
"Butler Zhang!"
Under the guidance of the clerk, Zhang Yi soon came to the residence of Congratulations and Ma Yuan. He went in because the group talked and walked. The two people who were reading the book heard the sound and walked out.
With a gentle smile on his face, the congratulatory letter bowed to Zhang Yi and said, "Butler Zhang, please come in the room."
"Butler Zhang, please." Ma Yuan said.
You are so kind, first of all, Zhang Yi is the housekeeper of Zhang Youzhi's house and is the recommended person. Although they are scholars, they cannot help but give Zhang Youzhi face.
