Mr. Qian was so enthusiastic that Shen Zheng felt disgusted.
He said quietly: "My father has already arranged the inn in advance, so I won't bother you."
He walked over calmly, separated Mr. Qian, held Cheng Wanwan on the other side, and the group walked towards the center of the city.
"People in Sui Ru are too lazy to pay attention to us, so why bother with their hot faces and cold butts." Qian Hui snorted, "I'm exhausted, go to another courtyard to rest."
"You bastard!" Mr. Qian kicked him on the butt. "That one is a seventh-grade boy who has a name in the Holy Sage. And that Cheng Zhao is also a confirmed scholar. You must go and fight well." Relationship. Don’t stay in another hospital. Follow them and stay in the same inn as them."
Qian Hui covered his butt and felt very aggrieved: "The inn must be fully booked..."
"When the reservation is full, just add more money." Mr. Qian said coldly, "If you can't handle such a small thing, how will you inherit the Qian family's huge family business in the future."
The old man walked away angrily with his hands behind his back.
Qian Hui sighed silently and had no choice but to keep up with Shen Zheng's pedestrians.
He and Zheng Wangfeng had always been in and out of the same group, and had never dealt with Shen Zheng. He once framed Cheng Zhao, but now he wanted to please him. He suddenly felt that life was so difficult.
But there is no way, this is my grandfather's order.
"Brother Shen, Brother Cheng, wait for me." Qian Hui adjusted his mood and walked to them with a smile. "We are half fellow villagers. We came to Huzhou to take the exam together, so let's live together and take care of them."
Shen Zheng twitched the corners of his lips: "Where is your brother Zheng?"
"Haha, Brother Zheng has a separate courtyard arranged by Magistrate Zheng. He is very comfortable." Qian Hui walked to Cheng Wanwan and politely handed over his hands, "Junior and Sui Ruren live in the same inn, Sui Ruren shouldn't mind. ?”
Cheng Wanwan was so dizzy that she just wanted to find a bed to lie down on. She waved her hand weakly: "Young man, please help yourself."
The group of people walked through the busy streets and soon saw the Yuelai Inn. This is the first-class inn in Huzhou City and the first choice for many scholars.
Shen Zheng walked in quickly and called Shen Dongming. The waiter handed over a few signs. There were five upper rooms in total, one for Shen Zheng and Ah Fu, and one for each of the other four people.
Qian Hui took ten taels of silver and found a relatively poor scholar to vacate his room, so he could settle down temporarily.
"Zhao'er, you guys go ahead and order." Cheng Wanwan said weakly, "I just want a bowl of porridge. You can bring it to me after you finish it."
She was helped upstairs by Lu Yingxue and immediately lay down on the bed, finally feeling like she had saved her life.
A few children downstairs chose a seat by the window and started ordering.
We set off in the morning and walked for three hours. We ate some dry biscuits at noon. It was already lunch time.
There are people coming and going all the time in the inn, and they are all students who come together. The rich people live in the upper-class rooms, and the poor people live in the lower-class rooms, so there is everyone here.
"You can do whatever you want." Qian Hui waved his hand, "I'll treat you to today's meal."
"Go, go, let's go." Shen Zheng said with disdain, "I want you to treat me to a meal, where is Master Shen's face?"
Ah Fu sat in the corner and patted the baggage on his shoulder: "Our young master is rich, so he is not short of money."
Cheng Zhao coughed and said, "Be low-key when you are away from home."
Tell everyone you have money, do you want it stolen?
Shen Zheng glared at Ah Fu: "Low down, please be low-key for me."
"First some white rice porridge," Yu Zhan said, "then some boiled tofu, one eight-treasure assortment, and a bowl of peanuts... When you first arrive in a place, it's easy to get acclimated, so it's better to eat simple."
Cheng Zhao also agreed and handed the order directly to the waiter.
Shen Zheng closed his mouth angrily, waiting for today to be over before eating big fish and meat tomorrow.
Naturally, Qian Hui wouldn't say much. His purpose was to blend in, not to raise objections and attract people to reject him.
There are five of them sitting here. Except Ah Fu, all of them are scholars. Cheng Zhaoyu is gentle and gentle, Shen Zheng has an unruly temperament, Qian Hui has money written all over his body, and Yu Zhan shows the elegance of a scholar at a young age. dust.
People at the next table couldn't help but come up to chat.
"I've met several brothers." The man was wearing a moon-white gown and stood at the table with his hands folded. "From the accents of your brothers, it sounds like they are from Ping'an County. Do you have any guesses?"
Shen Zheng was always impatient to deal with this, Qian Hui had nothing to do with him, and Yu Zhan was too young, so Cheng Zhao had to step in.
Cheng Zhao stood up, returned his hand, and Wen Ya said, "We are indeed from Ping'an County."
"I heard that the leader of the county examination in Ping'an County this year is a child who is only ten years old." The man's eyes fell on Yu Zhan, "Could it be this little brother?"
Being mentioned, Yu Zhan couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and said, "It's just the head of the county examination case, not worth mentioning."
"It's really enviable to be able to achieve such an achievement at the age of ten. I'm Li Zhou." The man introduced himself, "Can I take the liberty of knowing my little brother's name?"
"Li Zhou, Li Zhou, are you blind?" The people at the next table suddenly shouted, "You don't even recognize the young master from the Yu family?"
As soon as he heard the word "Yu family", Li Zhou's expression changed. He looked at Yu Zhan up and down with disbelief on his face: "You, you are Yu Zhan?"
Yu Zhan had a calm look on his face just now, but now his face turned extremely dark.
How could he forget that all the scholars in Huzhou City knew his father and him, so he shouldn't stand up and deal with these people.
Many people from the surrounding tables joined in.
"I also asked why the boy from the Yu family didn't take part in the county examination. It turned out that he hid in a remote village to take part in the imperial examination."
"Tsk, tsk, you turned out to be the head of the case in Ping'an County. How much money did your father give the magistrate of Ping'an County to make you famous in one fell swoop?"
"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Your father is not a good person, and you are also..."
"shut up!"
Yu Zhanqi's little face turned red and he roared angrily.
"What is your name?" A tall man stepped forward and gave Yu Zhan a shove. "Your father is a disgrace to scholars. You actually want to take the imperial examination. You don't think you can escape by hiding in Ping'an County." Go into an official career, I tell you, it’s a dream…”
Shen Zheng stood up suddenly and blocked Yu Zhan behind him.
Although he didn't have a deep friendship with Yu Zhan, Master Yu taught him a lot. A teacher for one day will be a teacher for a lifetime. Naturally, he wanted to protect his teacher's son.
Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Zhao grabbed his arm.
Cheng Zhao shook his head gently. Shen Zheng's anger had already reached Tianling Gai and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"On the eve of the college examination, gathering a crowd to fight will disqualify you from the imperial examination." Cheng Zhao quietly raised his eyes and looked at Yu Zhan, "Bend your heart and suppress your ambition, be patient and resist criticism, if you are innocent and insist on death, you will become a handful Loess. Xiaozhan, let me ask you, how do you deal with people who slander me, bully me, insult me, laugh at me, belittle me, and despise me?"
Yu Zhan pursed his lips.
He could accept these people insulting him, but they could not insult his father.
Cheng Zhao said quietly: "Be patient with him, let him, let him, be patient with him, ignore him, stay for a few more years and you can watch him."
He sat down and said softly, "The food is here. Sit down and eat."
When he spoke, a faint aura spread from his body, an invisible aura that shocked everyone.
He was obviously gentle and elegant, but when he spoke, no one dared to interrupt or provoke him.
"Well said!" Qian Hui was the first to applaud, "Brother Cheng, you will be my best brother from now on. Come, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."
Shen Zheng pushed Qian Hui away: "Cheng Zhao is my best brother, please leave me alone."
"Then I'll be second best." Qian Hui insisted on clinking glasses with Cheng Zhao with a playful smile.
With these two people making jokes, the atmosphere in the inn lobby suddenly became much more relaxed, and Yu Zhan sat down with a complicated mood.
