Chapter 274
"Anyway, no one will live here, so you can just stay here. Since my mother has agreed to let you work in the shop, I won't charge you silver." Qian Zheng decided.
Lv Youwei nodded, put down the simple bundle in his hand, and followed Qian Zheng to get familiar with the basic situation of the inn.
Peace Inn looked very large, but there were only four people: the landlady Qian Shi, the chef Old Zhang in the back kitchen, and Qian Zheng and Lv Youwei.
Lv Youwei's work in the inn was to help greet customers during meal times, and he could rest at other times after finishing cleaning and his own duties.
In general, for the wages he asked for, these chores were already quite a lot.
Qian Shi looked quite fierce, but she was actually not bad. As long as you did the things she ordered well, she basically wouldn't bother you.
Plus, seeing that Lv Youwei was quite observant when working, she was even more satisfied.
After all, the wages she paid were not much, so it was definitely worth the money.
Because it was in the town, the inn closed quite early, and there were basically no customers after dark, plus there was no one living in the inn.
After finishing the work, they ate dinner together and returned to their respective living places.
At this time, the seal of Lv Youwei's Boundless Secret Technique was also automatically lifted. He roughly recalled the memories of the day and nodded with satisfaction. In this place, he felt he could stay for a while longer.
The people in the inn were all quite good.
However, he still felt that there was one place he was not satisfied with, which was the previous decision to seal memories during the day and lift the seal at night.
He didn't feel anything before, but now he suddenly felt it was inappropriate.
It wasn't that the direction was wrong, but it could be improved. For example, he could continue to seal memories during the day, and at night, he could restore part of the tampered memories.
For example, tampering with memories, he was a person who wrote the Elegant Literature Journey to the West, and he already had this content in his mind.
He was also puzzled that the Elegant Literature Journey to the West he wrote was the same as Lord Wenguan Hou's, but there was no way, the content of the story was just in his mind.
In order not to cause trouble, he just wrote down the content of these stories and didn't intend to let others know, so as not to cause trouble.
If he tampered with his memories like this, not writing the Elegant Literature Journey to the West as Lord Wenguan Hou Lv Fang, but as the crippled and down-and-out hunter Lv Youwei, would there be unexpected gains?
"Hope it has some effect."
Lv Youwei smiled bitterly and shook his head, spread out the rice paper, dipped the brush in ink, and began to write the second chapter of the Elegant Literature Journey to the West. Sure enough, it was still very difficult to write.
Just like this, several days passed. This day there was a heavy rain, and even at mealtime, there were no customers in the inn.
Qian Shi looked around but couldn't find Qian Zheng. She cursed "little brat," handed the Great Zhou Literary Report in her hand to Lv Youwei, and said, "Don't you also know how to read? It just so happens that there is no one now, come and read me the latest Elegant Literature written by Lord Wenguan Hou."
The chef Old Zhang, who was idle on the side, hurried over and fawned over Qian Shi, "Landlady, drink some tea."
Because Qian Shi's husband passed away years ago, the chef Old Zhang had been staying in the inn, wanting to pursue Qian Shi. Anyway, whenever he was free, he would fawn over her.
"Why are you crowding over? Is the back kitchen all cleaned up?" Qian Shi frowned and asked. Seeing Old Zhang nodding with a smile, she shook her head and didn't bother with him anymore, but looked at Lv Youwei and urged, "Read."
"I heard that reading these Elegant Literatures often can gain scholarly aura and extraordinary power to become a cultivator. If I weren't illiterate, I would definitely keep reading."
"That little brat Qian Zheng, thinking about the Zhao family's girl every day, doesn't read these Elegant Literatures carefully, really doesn't make people worry."
Lv Youwei nodded and began to read the first chapter of the Elegant Literature Journey to the West on the Great Zhou Literary Report. Although his appearance was not handsome, his voice was very pleasant. Reading the Elegant Literature gave people a sense of being on the scene.
Soon he finished reading the first chapter of Journey to the West.
Qian Shi said with lingering interest, "Don't say, you literate people read Elegant Literature so pleasantly. You wait, I'll find the previous Elegant Literature too, and you read it to me. When I asked that little brat Qian Zheng to read it before, I didn't understand some parts."
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the backyard.
The chef Old Zhang narrowed his eyes and looked at Lv Youwei with a guarded face, "You kid, you wouldn't be having designs on the landlady, would you? I warn you..."
Lv Youwei waved his hands repeatedly, "Old Zhang, don't worry, I definitely don't have this intention, you don't need to warn me."
"That's good." Old Zhang put his arm around Lv Youwei's shoulder and said with a bitter and deep hatred, "I have been waiting for the landlady for many years. For this, I refused the job in the county town. One day she will be moved by me."
Lv Youwei echoed perfunctorily. In fact, Old Zhang was not bad. His personality was quite straight and he had no bad intentions. Except for being a bit fat, everything else was quite good.
As long as it didn't involve Qian Shi, Old Zhang was basically very easygoing with people.
It's just that feelings are hard to say, and it can only be said that anything is possible.
But looking at it now, except for Qian Shi not being interested in Old Zhang, even Qian Zheng quite liked Old Zhang.
Soon Qian Shi brought out the old Great Zhou Literary Reports. She had collected all the literary reports of the Elegant Literature "Dream of the Red Chamber".
Rain was drizzling from the sky.
In the Peace Inn in the small alley, Lv Youwei held the Great Zhou Literary Report and read the Dream of the Red Chamber. I don't know when, several neighbors nearby came over to listen to Lv Youwei read the Dream of the Red Chamber. Although it was not as good as what the storyteller said, it had a different flavor.
At first he was quite unfamiliar, but gradually he was like telling a story.
Every time he finished a chapter, the people listening nearby would sincerely praise and applaud, which gave Lv Youwei a sense of accomplishment.
Just when Lv Youwei finished reading a chapter of the Dream of the Red Chamber again and went to look for the next Great Zhou Literary Report, he suddenly saw the chef Old Zhang looking at his hand with excitement and saying, "What is this!?"
Everyone couldn't help but surround him.
Qian Shi leaned over and said with some surprise, "Is this scholarly aura? I heard that little brat Qian Zheng say before that the scholarly aura that can become a cultivator is just like this. It turns out this is all true."
Old Zhang jumped three feet high. After the excitement, he asked with doubt, "But why did I gain scholarly aura? I don't even know a few characters."
Qian Shi slapped her thigh and said, "Didn't you just listen to someone read the Elegant Literature Dream of the Red Chamber? I heard that this can also gain scholarly aura, but I didn't expect you to gain scholarly aura."
Because there were people on the scene who witnessed it, the news that Lv Youwei read the Elegant Literature Dream of the Red Chamber and Old Zhang gained scholarly aura soon spread in Water Town.
The customer flow of Peace Inn also increased, basically all coming to listen to Lv Youwei read Lord Wenguan Hou's Elegant Literature.
