Chapter 123: Ink

"Yo!"

"Young Master Sheng, you are out!"

The shopkeeper of Zhegui Inn was standing behind the counter and calculating his daily income, but as soon as he saw Sheng Changquan walk down from the upper floor, he immediately greeted him happily.

"Um?"

"What's wrong, the shopkeeper?"

Sheng Changquan could see the light coming out of the other party's eyes at a glance, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Is there anything you are doing?"

"hey-hey!"

The shopkeeper grinned and showed a "sorry" smile: "Young Master, you are really keen eyes and you can see the old man's thoughts at a glance!"

At this time, there were not many guests in the inn, only a table of students dressed in scholars were talking loudly, as if showing their abilities. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that someone had passed the exam.

Regardless of other customers, the shopkeeper rubbed his hands, carefully approached Sheng Changquan and said, "Young Master, it's actually a little old man, I have something to ask for."

"oh?"

Sheng Changquan took Xu Changqing to a table beside the window, sat down and asked, "What do you want from the shopkeeper? If you put in the best of your ability, you will definitely be willing to help you!"

Sheng Changquan didn't say enough, but just secretly expressed his attitude.

"That's great!"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "Actually, the young master just nods in this matter!"

Facing Sheng Changquan's exploration, the shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly, and then asked carefully: "Dare you dare to ask the young master, but have you passed the county case exam this time?"

"Of course!"

Before Sheng Changquan could speak, Xu Changqing stood up in a hurry!

Of course, Sheng Changquan was not easy to say at this time, so Xu Changqing rarely "interested" with his son and volunteered to set up a sign for Sheng Changquan!

"This time, my son won the first place in all the tests in Tokyo and won the first place in this county!"

"Case head?"

The three guests on the only table moved their ears and heard the movement here.

"He is the head of this case? Sheng Changquan?"

"Well, it should be true, but why is it so small?"

“…”

Three students from the same class were talking about it.

"really!"

The shopkeeper was happy and hurriedly congratulated him: "Oh, that's really congratulations to young master, congratulations to young master!"

The shopkeeper bowed and congratulated him with a smile on his face.

That look is even happier than Sheng Changquan himself!

Although the shopkeeper had heard this news from Xu Changqing's yelling before, it was just an unexpected hearing and could not be accurate. So he later asked someone to verify the news from outside. At this time, it would be better to hear the person involved explain this again.

"Young Master Sheng!"

The shopkeeper had already known Sheng Changquan's name when Sheng Changquan stayed overnight, so he said this: "Although it is a bit inappropriate, the old man still spoke up and begged Mr. Sheng to leave a magic treasure for my inn!"

"The young man believes that a talented student like Mr. Sheng will definitely be able to be famous in the future and parade on horseback!"

The shopkeeper was not vague and said directly: "Of course, the shop does not make things difficult for Mr. Sheng. As long as Mr. Sheng can enjoy his face and keep ink, even if he only leaves the word "公司", then I am willing to offer two hundred taels of silver to the young master!"

Generally speaking, Liumo is about writing poems and songs praising the master. However, the inn is a bit lower in grade, and it is not as good as those who can express their feelings directly. Therefore, except for some scholars who think about their livelihood, few people are willing to write for them.

Of course, after this scientific examination, the proud person who stayed in the inn was also a temporary pleasure.

Sheng Changquan naturally understood this.

However, he really didn't expect that he was just the head of a county examination and could bring such elegant things, and he was quite happy.

Moreover, it is a custom for this scholar to keep ink for the inn. Moreover, the shopkeeper of the Zhegui Inn can say such "concertainty" words, which makes Sheng Changquan satisfied.

What's more, the other party wanted to "one word, one hundred silver", which was a considerable resource for Sheng Changquan.

You should know that at this time one tael of silver was enough for an ordinary family of three to live for half a year. Even if you live in a family of officials like Sheng Hong, these two hundred taels are not a small amount for Sheng Changquan.

At least, Sheng Changquan's monthly share is just three taels of silver.

To this day, the monthly accumulation of Sheng Changquan, plus the small gold naked sons received by the favors in previous years, are only a hundred taels of silver added together.

"Well!"

Facing the shopkeeper's earnest gaze, Sheng Changquan did not refuse.

Of course, this is just simply because he wants the beauty of adulthood!

Absolutely, it’s definitely not because of the advertising fee of 200 taels!

"Since the shopkeeper's request is so requested, I have to be respectful and obey my duty!"

"good!"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he immediately ordered to the young man next to him: "Hurry! Get the best set of pens and ink in the store!"

After all, it is called Zhegui Inn, so there are many good things here. At least, there are no shortage of the four top-quality study treasures.

"Yes, shopkeeper!"

The waiter in the store understood what the owner meant, so he hurriedly ran to the back hall and held a high-end pen, ink, paper and inkstone from it.

"Haha, it turns out that the shopkeeper is ready!"

Looking at the ink that had been grinded, Sheng Changquan smiled.

"Haha, it's also Mr. Sheng's grand priest, so that the old man won't do useless achievements!"

Xu Changqing, who was standing beside him, took the gap between the two of them and quickly packed up the debris on the table in front, took the high-quality rice paper from the tray, spread it flat to the table, and took the red sandalwood wolf hair, calling out: "Young Master!"

"Um!"

Sheng Changquan took the wolf's hair, paused, and then wrote: "The spring breeze suddenly came and blows the guests woke up, and hundreds of boats competed for the sky. I promised me first by breaking a branch of osmanthus, and I am not the only family in the past."

"good!"

"Good poem!"

"It is worthy of being the head of the county case this time!"

At some point, the three Kaozi on the opposite table also came over and couldn't help but sigh at what Sheng Changquan wrote!

The shopkeeper looked at the poem written by Sheng Changquan, his eyes shining, and he couldn't help but praise him loudly: "What a good sentence to win a piece of osmanthus and promise me first, and I will live up to my family!"

As an inn shopkeeper who specializes in serving scholars, he naturally has two things, at least he can identify the good or bad.

"Young Master Sheng's unscrupulous aura really makes the old man ashamed!"

"You are welcome, the shopkeeper!"

Sheng Changquan was not surprised or disturbed, and was calm and composed.
