Chapter 296 Spring is coming

Finally, Tong Xiangyu couldn't bear Tong Shitou's troubles and went to Zhang Chen for help. Zhang Chen handed Tong Shitou directly to Tie Shou from the Shenhou Mansion, believing that Tong Shitou could be brought out by Tong Shitou.

In this way, Tong Shitou's matter was completely over, and the inn returned to its former calm atmosphere.

……………

The days passed day by day, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

"Time flies and life is short."

Xiucai looked at the weather outside and said.

"You still have the time to sigh? Spring is almost here, do you still have the time to sigh?"

Tong Xiangyu was sitting at the main table, calculating accounts in his hands. After hearing the scholar's sigh, Tong Xiangyu said with a smile.

The scholar smiled bitterly, then shook his head and said: "This is the last time I will participate in the Spring Festival in these years of studying. If I fail to win the exam at this age, I will find another way out. Now I look at the scorching sun and I can't help but feel a little emotional."

Tong Xiangyu listened and said nothing again. Although she didn't know the scholar's mood, she knew better not to talk at this time.

After a while, she stood up, walked slowly to the scholar, and suddenly changed her tone and said in a gentle voice: "Just try your best, we all believe in your strength."

The scholar nodded and looked at Tong Xiangyu with gratitude.

The two have known each other for a long time, and their relationship can be said to be very good. Although they usually fight and fight, their friendship is very pure.

The scholar thought of his own family. When his grandfather was still alive, it was a family of officials. However, due to the change of dynasties, the family gradually declined. When it came to the generation of the scholar's father, the family was even more dilapidated.

When the scholar arrived, all he had left was a dilapidated inn. The scholar himself no longer had the talent he had when he was a child. He often failed in the imperial examinations. Of course, the scholar was unwilling to do so. He pursued studying.

.

At this time, the arrival of Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang saved the inn and gave him a different life.

Now that spring is approaching, Xiucai finally wants to realize his dream, but he knows that this dream is really difficult to realize because he doesn't know whether he can go to high school this time.

The scholar didn't know whether he could pass; he was very nervous, but his heart was always full of gratitude and expectation.

"Scholar? Scholar?"

Tong Xiangyu shouted several times.

"Um?"

The scholar came back to his senses and looked at Tong Xiangyu not far away with a puzzled look.

"When you come back to your senses, you'd better take a good rest and don't be too stressed. You are very powerful in our eyes. Come on!"

Tong Xiangyu said with his fists clenched.

The scholar nodded heavily, then turned and returned to the room.

"Huh? What is Xiucai doing? Why does he look so distracted?"

Zhang Chen came out of the back kitchen carrying a dish and almost bumped into the scholar.

"What else could be going on? Spring is just around the corner, and the scholar is under too much pressure."

Tong Xiangyu returned to the long table and began to settle accounts. After hearing Zhang Chen's question, she answered casually.

"That's true. Brother Xiu Cai didn't have any other pressure before, but this time it's different from before."

Zhang Chen raised his head and glanced upstairs, then whispered.

"Um?"

Tong Xiangyu didn't understand why this time was different from the past.

"I know, I know, Xiucai wants to be more compatible with Xiao Guo."

Bai Zhantang ran out of nowhere, approached Tong Xiangyu and said.

Zhang Chen nodded to indicate that he answered correctly.

"ah!!"

Tong Xiangyu was surprised and said that she really had not thought about this matter.

"Brother Xiu Cai has a lot of self-esteem. Sister Guo's family puts him under constant pressure. This time is a real example."

Zhang Chen said.

The three of them were chatting here, and the sound of footsteps came from outside the inn door. The three of them looked for the sound and found that Zhu Yipin was coming.

"Yipin? Why do you come here when you have time? There are no patients in the hospital?"

Bai Zhantang said hello with a smile.

Zhu Yipin waved his hands to everyone, and then sat down next to Bai Zhantang.

"Hey, don't mention it. My medical clinic has finally regained some vitality. It will start to work again when I start to show off my skills."

Zhu Yipin said with a somewhat depressed expression, he had always wanted to develop the medical clinic, but every time there was improvement, something unexpected happened.

"Um, is this another big deal?"

Zhang Chen noticed Zhu Yipin's expression and asked tentatively.

Zhu Yipin nodded painfully, and then handed a letter in his arms to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen took the letter, opened it and read it for a while, then suddenly looked up at the second floor and shook his head.

"Um?"

Zhang Chen's strange behavior was surprising. Several people didn't know the purpose of Zhang Chen's action.

"Take a look."

Zhang Chen handed the letter in his hand to Bai Zhantang as he spoke. Tong Xiangyu knew that this was confidential information and did not read it, but a curious look appeared on his face.

"This~"

Bai Zhantang called out, and then raised his head to look at the second floor. He now knew why Zhang Chen did what he did just now.

"That's what you said!!"

Tong Xiangyu shouted anxiously in his heart, but he still held back his words.

"Can I say this?"

Bai Zhantang looked at Zhu Yipin and Zhang Chen, they were the ones who could decide.

Zhu Yipin looked around and realized that the inn was not open. Then he nodded in agreement, while Zhang Chen nodded indifferently.

"Look."

Bai Zhantang handed the letter to Tong Xiangyu again. After a while, Tong Xiangyu knew the cause and effect of the matter.

"Then can he be affected?"

Tong Xiangyu said worriedly, now that she knew what Bai Zhantang and Zhang Chen were doing, she was also worried now.

"oh!!"

Only then did Zhu Yipin suddenly realize the purpose of their previous actions.

"It's okay, it's just a suspicion now, and it's a major matter for the court. They won't let them infiltrate."

Zhu Yipin spoke up. He had asked Liu Ruoxin a lot before, but this time he answered a few people's concerns.

"No, I almost let you go in. In addition to this information, I have one more thing. Something happened to my master's former friend. We all suspect that it is related to the Tongzhou Association."

Zhu Yipin shook his head and explained his purpose of coming to Zhang Chen.

"Your master's friend?"

The three of them said in unison.

"Yes, she is a close friend of my master and my master's wife. Her name is Suzhen. She always comes to the inn to stay with my master for a while when my master is here. I am quite surprised that something happened to her this time."

Zhu Yipin babbled aloud.

"Su Zhen? Her surname is Bai, right?"

Bai Zhantang couldn't help but feel bored.

"Go on, people are talking about business and you are still making trouble here."

Tong Xiangyu stood up, then pinched Bai Zhantang's ears and they left the lobby.

Thanks for the support!
