You are not exile, you are clearly traveling!

Chapter 26
"We've arrived at the inn!"

When everyone saw the inn, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and could finally rest.

They had traveled 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 yamen servants only live in two or three rooms.

But what?
It's not that there are no independent rooms in the inn, but 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 had been an official for so many years, and it was natural that he had 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.

"Master, can you be more accommodating?"

The yamen servant's eyes lit up, he put away the money without leaving any trace, and coughed, "After you reminded me like this, I remember that there is still a big house that is big enough for your family to live in..."

"It only costs 20 taels for a room."

"No problem, please sir."

Zhang Yiquan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly stuffed 30 taels in it. He couldn't sleep in the wild last night, and he didn't sleep well. Today he can finally have a good rest.

"Just wait, I'll go see if there's anyone in that room..."

Zhang Yiquan was very happy when he saw the government servants leaving. Madam Zhang also came over and said, "How was it?"

"It's done." Zhang Yiquan said proudly, "In this world, as long as you have money, you can do anything."

"Unlike some people, there is no point in 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.

No one knows about Master Chen being penniless.

Even though they bought a carriage, they have actually spent all their savings. How can they have money to live in the inn now?

Therefore, Zhang Yiquan couldn't help but ridicule and return all the anger he had received before.

"Oh, why did Mr. Chen come to stay at the inn?" Zhang Yiquan continued to say in a strange tone, "Doesn't 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? 20 taels, tsk, tsk, tsk, can Mr. Chen, who is penniless, afford it?"

Mr. Chen: “…………”

What happened to me being broke?Have you eaten your rice?
Who is saying that I am penniless? I am worried about you!

"Father, did you hear the dog barking?" Chen Xue said innocently, "I seem to hear a dog barking next to my ear? 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?"

"Whoever admits 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 in official circles, Chen Yuan could not flatter or speak at all. He was very dull. Why is he so annoying now?

"What's the use of having sharp teeth and a sharp mouth? There's no place to sleep." Zhang Yiquan mocked, "However, 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 at the inn. You can also wash up in the inn and buy hot meals..."

"Master Chen..."

At this moment, someone interrupted Zhang Yiquan and saw two government servants, Xu Tian and Zhao Guang, walking over.

"Mr. Chen, I have arranged the room, please come with us..." Xu Tian clasped his fists and said.

"Obviously it was arranged by me." Zhao Guang quickly replied, "Master Chen, please come inside and I will 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 attentive 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.

"Master Chen, please..."

"Master Chen, this way..."

How could Zhao Guang give Xu Tian the opportunity to show his courtesy? He quickly said flatteringly, "I arranged a large room, which is enough for Mr. Chen and his family to live in..."

Seeing the two government officials acting 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 officials begging them to stay. Not only are they not charging them, but they are also begging them to stay 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 was exiled, and everyone was the Minister of Household Affairs, so why did these government servants fawn over him?

What good thing does his Chen family have? He has 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 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 again.

It's better to invest in them. At least he still has the relationship with Lord Shangshu, and he might have a chance in the future.

"Shut up, you're the only one who talks too much." Zhao Guang turned around and glared at him, "You want to be whipped, don't you?"

"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 figure out why Xu Tian and Zhao Guang were so protective of the Chen family, and what was so good about his Chen family.

"Master Chen, take a look, which room do you want to stay 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 couldn't 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 Guang's room. This room was larger and could accommodate their family. As for Xu Tian's arrangement, they let their servants live in it.

After arranging the room, Xu Tian and the two left without disturbing the Chen family.

Zhang Yiquan stood at the door of a kind, watching the Chen family enter the room, feeling very depressed in his heart.

At this time, he saw the inn officer coming and ran over quickly, "Master, our room..."

"No more." The yamen servant shrugged, "It has been arranged."

"What?" Zhang Yiquan's expression changed, thinking that the yamen officer wanted the lion to open his mouth, so he had to take out the silver again and handed it over, "Please help me, sir."

The yamen officer took the money away and sighed, "I can't help it. The rooms are limited, but you can discuss it with the family. I heard they booked two rooms..."

The yamen servant pointed to the room where the Chen family lived. Zhang Yiquan was immediately dumbfounded. He asked them to find the Chen family. It was already good that the Chen family didn't drive them away with a broom. How could they give up the room to them.
