There are bandits attacking

Chapter 2: Accommodation

For Zhang Jiu, the regret of missing the beauty is irreparable, and he was completely immersed in self-pity and self-pity on the way to the capital.

"Could you please stop sighing?" The sighs that lingered in his ears every day were about to make him collapse. Jiang Ning couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to speak.

"You can close your ears if you don't want to hear it." Didn't you see that he was sad?

"You said you couldn't close your ears, it's more convenient to shut your mouth." Jiang Ning used Zhang Jiu's words to block him.

"My ears can't be closed, but I can help you close yours"

Jiang Ning really felt that he shouldn't talk to Zhang Jiu, it was purely because he couldn't find it, and in order to continue to avoid this situation, Jiang Ning decided to keep a moderate distance from Zhang Jiu.

In this way, Jiang Ning finally arrived at their destination - the capital city. At this moment, Jiang Ning was almost moved to tears, his good days are finally coming.

"Where do we live?" Jiang Ning asked Zhang Jiu.

"Didn't your family prepare a place for us?" Zhang Jiu was very surprised. As the second son of the prefect of Xiangzhou, a veritable second-generation official, no one came to welcome them when they came to the capital. This is too unscientific.

"What kind of official do you think my father is?" Jiang Ning asked expressionlessly.

"Prefect of Xiangzhou"

"Yes, it's the magistrate of Xiangzhou, not the emperor of Daqin." So it's not that they will be greeted wherever they go.

"But don't people say that officials and officials protect each other? What about the official who interacted with your father?"

"I was copied and beheaded by the emperor" so don't fantasize about anything.

"..." For the sake of his life, he had better find an inn to live in.

At this time, it was the national imperial examination season, and almost all the inns in the capital were full. Zhang Jiu had a sense of crisis that he would end up on the streets.

"Let's go to this inn." Zhang Jiu pointed to the signboard of 'One Family Inn'.

"why?"

"It says a family, since it is a family, they may not charge us money"

What kind of logic is this? Jiang Ning glanced at the signboard and followed Zhang Jiu's footsteps helplessly.As soon as I walked in the door, I heard the guy in the front hall tell others that there was no room.

"Is there really no room?" The previous person who asked had already turned and left, Zhang Jiu still asked.

“There is really no room”

"Call your boss"

"There is no room even if the shopkeeper is called," the young man replied helplessly when he met this kind of person for the first time.

"What do you want me to do?" Coincidentally, the shopkeeper came from behind.

"He said there was no room left," Zhang Jiu pointed at the boy.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhang Jiu, then at the boy and said, "It's because he misremembered, and there are two more for the room."

"Since there are still two rooms available, I came first, so there should be one for me," said the person who was about to leave the inn as soon as he heard that there was a room.

"Why did you give it to you?" Zhang Jiu was puzzled.

"first come, first served"

"Oh, then you can go"

"Why?"

"Because I already made the reservation two months in advance." Zhang Jiu asked the shopkeeper to take him to the room in shock.

"You made the reservation two months ago?" Jiang Ning never knew that Zhang Jiu would come to the exam so happily, and he actually booked the room two months before the rainy day. He knew that Zhang Jiu absolutely hated the imperial examination, if it wasn't for him Grandpa forced Zhang Jiu to die, so he probably wouldn't even step into the examination room.

"I don't have a reservation." Zhang Jiu looked normal.

How could someone lie and say so confidently, "Then why would the shopkeeper give you the room?"

"It was scheduled by my grandfather." Zhang Jiu sighed a long time. In order to let him take the evil imperial examination, his grandfather put his old face on the face, cried, made trouble, hanged himself, and all kinds of scenes he could not think of. After performing it once, it can be called an Oscar winner.

Zhang Jiu couldn't figure out why his grandfather insisted on letting him be an official. Isn't it good to be a businessman? As long as he has money, he can't do anything. His goal is the richest man in Xiangzhou, but in order not to bear the title of unfilial son, he had to give up. My own ideal, life really is involuntary.

"Grandpa is really far-sighted and well-intentioned." He swept away all the obstacles they could encounter.

"I wish he was short-sighted" Not all well-intentioned flowers bear sweet fruit.

"Grandpa will be sad to hear your words"

"So you have to watch your mouth." Zhang Jiu kicked open the door and threw the bag on the table.

"You two gentlemen, wait for a while, and the food will be served in a while. Are you eating inside or outside?" The shopkeeper was very considerate.

"Let's eat indoors" It's too noisy outside, which will affect your appetite.

"The service of this inn is really good." Not only the shopkeeper personally entertained them, but also took care of their meals.

"Whoever gives them double the price in advance will be treated like this"

It's nice to have money, "I can now understand your ideals"

"It's a pity that he has already passed away." Zhang Jiu was in pain, and this pain was about to be transformed into appetite to vent.

The food came up quickly as the shopkeeper said, and all of them were Zhang Jiu's favorite. Seeing the delicious food, Zhang Jiu was in a good mood, and started to eat with the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops.

Jiang Ning has always admired Zhang Jiu's eating, elegant but it does not affect the speed at all. He doesn't know what else to do except marvel, but soon he knows what to do. If he doesn't eat, he will have nothing to eat.

"Shopkeeper, how do you know what he likes to eat?" All the dishes on the table are Zhang Jiu's favorites.

"Someone gave us the menu in advance." Otherwise, no matter how clever he is, he can't figure out what the guests like to eat.

Needless to say, it is the grandfather again, Jiang Ning's admiration for the grandfather continued to deepen and deepen, "It would be great if I had such a caring grandfather!"

"This is something you can't envy, not everyone is so lucky," Zhang Jiu sneakily said.

"Including forcing you to rush for the exam?"

"You have to know that the reason why people are called human is because they find shortcomings. You can't ask too much. If you want to complain, you can only blame God for not making man-made perfect." There are two sides to everything, and this is eternal. truth.

Thinking about all the things that the Zhang family master did to force Zhang Jiu, Jiang Ning felt that he really shouldn't have too high demands, "Master Jiu, what do you think we will do if we don't pass the exam this time?"

"I will take you to continue the exam," Zhang Jiu said firmly.

"Then what if you still fail the exam after taking the exam many times?"

The scene of Fan Jinzhongju popped up in Zhang Jiu's mind, "Maybe he will go crazy and kill you"

The consequences were too serious, Jiang Ning shrank his neck, and for his own life, he had to pray to God to let them pass the exam, even if it was the last one.

Full of wine and food, Zhang Jiu immediately drove him to sleep. Jiang Ning suspected that this person was definitely a pig in his previous life, and he would never have enough food and sleep.
