Chapter 26 Station
Weve arrived at the inn!
When everyone saw the inn, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and could finally rest.
They had been walking in the rain, and now they were all wet, and they just wanted to find a place to warm themselves by the fire.
However, although the inn allows them to stay for free, it is not a single room, but a dozen people crammed into one room.
Of course, even the government officials only have two or three rooms in one room.
But what?
Its not that the inn doesnt have independent rooms, its just that you need to pay for them yourself, and you may not even be able to buy them with money.
"Master, can you give us a room? We can live in one room as a family." Zhang Yiquan found the government servants at the post station and gave them money.
"Rooms? Is this a bit difficult?" The yamen servant frowned, "There are so many of you, and there are no independent rooms..."
Zhang Yiquan has been an official for so many years, and naturally he has not been in vain. He immediately heard what the yamen officer meant, and he took out another ingot of silver from his sleeve with pain.
Sir, can you be more accommodating?
The yamen servants eyes lit up, he put away the money without leaving a trace, and coughed, After you reminded me like this, I remember there is a big house that is big enough for your family to live in...
Its just twenty-two rooms per room.
No problem, please excuse me.
Zhang Yiquan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly stuffed thirty taels into it. He couldn't sleep at all in the wild last night, and he didn't sleep well either. He could finally have a good rest tonight.
"You wait, I'll go see if there is anyone in that room..."
Seeing the Yamen leave, Zhang Yiquan was very happy, and Mrs. Zhang also came over, "How was it?"
Its done. Zhang Yiquan said proudly, In this world, as long as you have money, you can do anything.
"Unlike some people, there is no use being cool on the road. At the critical moment, it is not about money."
The Chen family was nearby, and Zhang Yiquan's strange voice was naturally meant for them.
Who doesnt know that Mr. Chen is penniless?
Even though they bought a carriage, they have actually spent all their savings. Now they have no money to live in the inn.
So, Zhang Yiquan couldn't help but ridicule and return all the anger he had received before.
Oh, Mr. Chen, why did you come to stay at the inn? Zhang Yiquan continued to say strangely, Doesnt Mr. Chen have a carriage? You can stay in the carriage at night. The carriage is very comfortable...
Mrs. Zhang also got up and asked, "Mr. Chen, does he know how much the house here costs per night? Twenty taels, tsk, tsk, tsk, can Mr. Chen, who is penniless, afford it?"
Mr. Chen: "..."
Whats wrong with me being penniless? Have you eaten your rice?
Who is saying that I am penniless? I am worried about you!
"Dad, did you hear the dog barking?" Chen Xue said innocently, "I seem to hear a dog barking in my ears? It's so annoying!"
Mr. Chen couldn't help laughing, "I heard it. Dad told you that the louder the dog barks, the more guilty it is and the more afraid it is of people..."
"Chen Yuan, what do you mean?" Zhang Yiquan was furious, "Who are you calling a dog?"
Who recognizes who is.
"you"
Zhang Yiquan was extremely depressed. Back then, he was a smooth talker in the officialdom, but why could he not be able to talk to Chen Yuan now?
I remember that Chen Yuan couldn't flatter or talk at all in the officialdom. He was very dull. Why is he so annoying now?
"What's the use of having sharp teeth and a sharp mouth? It's not like there's no place to sleep." Zhang Yiquan mocked, "But if Mr. Chen is willing to give up the carriage, I can pay to book a room for you..."
Although the carriage is good, it is definitely not as comfortable as staying in the inn. You can also wash up in the inn and buy hot meals..."
Mr. Chen
At this moment, someone interrupted Zhang Yiquan and saw two government servants, Xu Tian and Zhao Guang, walking over.
"Master Chen, I have arranged the room, please come with us..." Xu Tian clasped his fists and said.
I obviously arranged it. Zhao Guang quickly replied, Mr. Chen, please come inside and Ill ask Master Yi Cheng to arrange a first-class room for you.
Xu Tian looked at the attentive Zhao Guang and was filled with doubts. Wasn't it true that Zhao Guang had been targeting Mr. Chen in the past few days?
Why are you more diligent than me today?
Has he changed his gender?
However, Xu Tian was worried that Zhao Guang was playing some tricks, deliberately pretending to be attentive, and then causing trouble in the room, so he hurriedly said.
Mr. Chen, please come this way
Mr. Chen, this way
How could Zhao Guang give Xu Tian the opportunity to show his courtesy? He quickly flattered him and said, "I arranged a large room, which is enough for Mr. Chen and his family to live in..."
Looking at the two government officials as if they were offering treasures, everyone was dumbfounded, especially Zhang Yiquan.
Just now he was mocking the Chen family for not being able to live in the inn, but now there are two government servants begging them to live in the inn. Not only are they not charging them, but they are also begging them to live in a low-key manner. This is simply...
If Zhang Yiquan hadn't bit his tongue and the severe pain told him that this was not a dream, he would have gone crazy.
Why!
Why, everyone is in exile, and everyone is the minister of household affairs, why should these government servants fawn over him?
What good thing does the Chen family have? They have no background and no money.
"Two adults..." Zhang Yiquan endured his dissatisfaction and stepped forward, "The Chen family is the mastermind of the corruption case..."
Zhang Yiquan has pointed out that he believes that these government officials are all smart people. As the masterminds of the corruption case, it is impossible for the Chen family to overturn the case. It is impossible for you to think that the Chen family will be reused.
It is better to invest in them. At least he still has the relationship with Lord Shangshu. There may be a chance in the future.
Shut up, youre the only one who talks too much. Zhao Guang turned around and glared at him, You want to be whipped, dont you?
Thats nonsense. Xu Tian also glared at him dissatisfied, Master Chen is obviously unjust.
One sentence offended three people, and Zhang Yiquan suddenly started sweating profusely.
He couldn't understand why the two government officials, Xu Tian and Zhao Guang, were so protective of the Chen family, and what was so good about the Chen family.
"Master Chen, take a look, which room do you want to live in?" Zhao Guang pointed to the room arranged by him, and then pointed to the room arranged by Xu Tian, giving him the right to choose.
Xu Tian had nothing to say and could only let Mr. Chen choose.
Mr. Chen had no way to make the decision. The choice was in the hands of his wife and daughter, so he turned to look at his wife and daughter.
In the end, Chen Xue and the others chose Zhao Guangs room. This room was larger and could accommodate their family. As for Xu Tians arrangement, they let their servants live there.
After arranging the room, Xu Tian and the two left without disturbing the Chen family.
Zhang Yiquan stood at a doorway, watching the Chen family enter the room, feeling depressed in his heart.
At this time, he saw the yamen officer from the post station coming over and hurriedly ran over, "Master, our room..."
"No." The yamen servant shrugged, "It has been arranged."
"What?" Zhang Yiquan's expression changed, thinking that the yamen servant wanted to make a big deal out of the lion, so he had to take out the silver again and handed it over, "Please ask the officer for help."
The government officer took the money away and sighed, "I can't help it. The room is limited, but you can discuss it with the family. I heard that they have booked two rooms..."
The yamen servant pointed to the room where the Chen family lived. Zhang Yiquan was dumbfounded. He asked them to find the Chen family. The Chen family did a good job of not driving them away with a broom. How could they give up the room to them.
