Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 11 (Part [-]) Fated Enemy
The general examination of the Ming Dynasty is not like the comic "Three Levels in a Row", where the examiner can decide the ranking as soon as the examinee finishes the paper, but the examinee's name on the examination paper needs to be pasted up and handed over to the academician of the Imperial Academy for review and selection. Then decide the ranking - of course, there is no problem in this link with the nine thousand-year-old Eunuch Wei covering him.Therefore, although someone answered the exam papers for our Young Master Zhang, when it was dark and handed in the papers, the four examiners including Zhang Ruitu and Wang Zhijian still respectfully invited Young Master Zhang out of the examination room, and asked Young Master Zhang to go to the inn or the Shandong Guild Hall to rest and wait quietly. good news.Young Master Zhang was well aware of the joints, so naturally he wouldn't be so stupid as to ask the four examiners why they didn't allow him to answer the paper, but just said goodbye and left.Zhang Ruitu, Wang Zhijian and other four examiners, one principal, three assistants, sent Young Master Zhang out of the gate with all smiles on their faces, and bowed their heads to say goodbye to Young Master Zhang. It was not until Young Master Zhang walked away from the master and servant that the four examiners felt relieved and said together in their hearts: "Thank God , I finally gave this God of Plague to the servants, and now I'm waiting for Nine Thousand Years' praise and promotion."

When he left the examination room, it was already the beginning of dawn. The tired and hungry master and servant of Mr. Zhang certainly would not go to the Shandong Guild Hall where he had to live. He asked Ming the most luxurious inn in the capital and immediately urged him to find it.Not a moment later, Master Zhang and his servant found the largest and most luxurious Yuelai Inn in Beijing, but before Master Zhang and his servant got off their horses, a waiter from the inn had already run over, nodded and bowed and said with a smile: "Master, you are here to stay. Is it a shop? What a coincidence, the shop is already full of customers today, please trouble me to find another one, and come to take care of the business of the shop another day."

Young Master Zhang looked up at the Yuelai Inn, and found that the appearance of this inn was indeed as luxurious as the rumors. The tables, chairs and counters on the first floor alone were all exquisite and valuable—in other words, they were barely worthy of it. Let's go to Mr. Zhang to check in.So Young Master Zhang didn't speak, just pouted at Zhang Shitou, and Zhang Shitou immediately took out a handful of copper coins and handed it to the shop waiter, and asked with a smile: "Is there any room available now?"

If it was changed to Linqing City, Zhang Shitou’s handful of copper coins would definitely make ten shop waiters lower their heads to their belts, but it’s different in Beijing. Guest officer, I'm really sorry, now there are no more rooms in the small shop, not to mention the upper room, the middle room and the lower room. If you feel wronged, you should find another one."

The waiter in the shop has already talked to this point, logically speaking, our young master Zhang should not continue to force, but it was too late, and young master Zhang's master and servant were too tired and hungry, so young master Zhang lost his temper unavoidably. He shouted: "Don't look down on copper coins? Young master, I don't believe it. I can't live in this Yuelai Inn today? Shitou, give me five taels of silver!" Although Zhang Shitou felt that the young master was a bit extravagant, Zhang Shitou also knew Young Master Zhang has a bad temper, obediently took out five taels of silver and handed it to the waiter in the shop, snorting coldly: "Should I have a room now?"

In the Ming Dynasty, silver was expensive, and one stone of grain could only be exchanged for seven or eight taels of silver. Five taels of silver was enough to allow a family to live comfortably for half a year. The guests who come to Yuelai Inn are generally rich or expensive, and there are never a lot of tips, but this is the first time that this high-flyer, who has worked in Yuelai Inn for more than ten years, met a high-flyer.So it wasn't until Zhang Shitou stuffed the silver into his hand that the waiter in the shop came back to his senses, and quickly nodded his head on his trouser belt with a smile on his face, "wait a minute, my little one, I'll go ask the shopkeeper about it." , try to make room for the two guest officials."

After all, the waiter in the store rushed into the store immediately, and ran out again after a while, and while serving our young master Zhang dismounted, he said with a smile: "Young master is really lucky, there was a guest officer who ordered Tianzi three days ago. Room No. [-] for a month, but he hasn't come to live in the past three days, the room is empty. It's so late today, I guess he won't come again. The villain is bold enough to ask the two guest officers to live in it for the time being , wait until tomorrow to vacate the other upper rooms, and then ask the two guest officers to move..."

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and lead the way." Eldest Young Master Zhang shouted impatiently, "Also, prepare two bowls of shark's fin for me to rinse my mouth with, and then prepare a table of the best food and drink for the room."

"Yes, yes, the villain will definitely do it." The waiter in the shop fully agreed, and led the way to bring the master and servant of Young Master Zhang into an upper room, and quickly prepared tea and hot water for washing face, and then ran out to arrange Shark fin came to wash our young master Zhang's mouth.And our young master Zhang washed his face under the service of Zhang Shitou, and immediately lay down on the large and soft bed to rest, humming and cursing: "Thieves, you are exhausted, young master. I knew that the exam for the champion was so tiring. I won't come."

"Young master, do you know how powerful you are now? If you had listened to the little one at that time, why did you have to suffer such a crime?" Zhang Shitou smiled wryly while washing his face, and asked again: "Young master, what are the adults who are in charge of the exam today? Will it happen? Jiuqian sent someone to send you into the examination room for the exam, why didn't you ask you to answer the paper, and let you out?"

"Bang bang bang bang!" Without waiting for Young Master Zhang to answer, someone knocked on the door of the inn room suddenly. Zhang Shitou thought it was the waiter from the inn bringing in the food and wine, so he went over and opened the door. A burly and hulking man rushed in.One of the burly men slapped Zhang Shitou across the face, cursing, "You bastard thief from over there, what do you want to do when you sneak into our Master Chen's room?!"

"The room of Mr. Chen?" Zhang Shitou was stunned by the beating.But our young master Zhang jumped up from the bed, and said angrily: "The thief who came here is so brave, he dared to break into my room, young master? How dare he beat my servant?"

"Yo ho, so there is another one." The big man who hit someone with his shot found out Young Master Zhang, rolled up his sleeves and rushed to beat our Young Master Zhang again, but a soft voice came from behind him, "Stop, these two A little savage doesn't seem like a thief, let me ask first."

"Yes." The big man who was still murderous just now suddenly became more docile than a sheep, and obediently retreated to the side.And a young man stepped in from the door of the room, 27 or [-] years old, handsome in appearance no less than our young master Zhang, with a Confucian shirt and long robe, and a very elegant temperament.The young man introduced himself politely: "Young master, Xiaosheng's surname is Chen Wenfan, from Leping, Jiangxi Province. Xiaosheng rented this room three days ago and paid one month's rent. I don't know why the young master appeared in this room? "

Our young master Zhang has a bad temper - that is, he can't see a more handsome little boy than him. Although this Chen Wenfan may not be able to surpass our young master Zhang in terms of face, but the gentle temperament and elegant demeanor is that of young master Zhang. A state that is impossible to reach in this life, and the brotherly servant Zhang Shitou was beaten for no reason, so the anger of Young Master Zhang came up, pointing at Chen Wenfan with the spring palace painting fan that never leaves his body, shouting: "Young master! You pretend to be elegant in front of Grandpa Zhang, this is the room that Grandpa Zhang booked, you not only broke into Grandpa Zhang’s room, but also beat Grandpa Zhang’s servants, how will this be settled?”

"Nan Manzi, what are you talking about?" Several attendants brought by Chen Wenfan were furious, ready to attack Young Master Zhang.But Chen Wenfan frowned, and snorted coldly: "Stop it, don't make trouble." Those followers had no choice but to stand back and stare at Young Master Zhang viciously, while Chen Wenfan suppressed his anger, and said with a smile: "My lord, judging by your demeanor and dress, you don't seem like someone who can't afford to live in a hotel. It seems that this is all a misunderstanding. It should be a trick by the inn owner, who rented the room that Xiaosheng booked to you. It doesn't matter, Xiaosheng will ask someone to come to the store, and he will know the whole story when he asks."

Speaking of this, Chen Wenfan smiled politely, cupped his hands and said: "Also, Xiaosheng's attendants were rude and offended the servant. Xiaosheng hereby apologizes to the young master. I hope you have a lot of young masters, so don't take it to heart." He bowed deeply to Young Master Zhang.

"Don't take it to heart? It's easy to say!" Young Master Zhang is used to domineering in Linqing City, and he has a very bad impression of Chen Wenfan, so of course Young Master Zhang refused to give up. He pulled Zhang Shitou in front of him and pointed at him. Zhang Shitou yelled with his face red and swollen from the beating: "Your son of a bitch beat my family like this indiscriminately, you just want to forget it with a word? No way!"

Young Master Zhang kept making progress, needless to say, the few attendants brought by Chen Wenfan were all furious, even Chen Wenfan, who was very rich in the city, couldn't help but get angry, and hummed: "What is the young master going to do? What will he do before he will give up?" ?”

"It's cheaper for you, and I will pay the young master's family 50 taels of silver for soup and medicine." Young master Zhang opened his mouth wide, "Also, you must ask your dog legs to kowtow to the young master's family to apologize. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Chen Wenfan interrupted Young Master Zhang with a pale face—it was no wonder that Chen Wenfan was angry, Young Master Zhang's request was indeed a bit excessive.And the arrogant and domineering young master Zhang was not polite, he flung the spring palace painting fan away, and said with an incomparably coquettish smile, "Then the young master will let you go to court, go to prison, and wear the bottom of the prison."
