Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 2138 Examination [2]

The capital is majestic, like a high mountain, and the city gate is far away, as if in a palace in the sky.

Standing at the gate of the city, Gu Jin'an looked at the size of the capital, and felt his insignificance again... At this moment, he was like a speck of dust, carried by the strong wind to come here.

However, since he has come, he will take root and grow into a tree that can cover the sky.

"The capital, this is the capital, hey, it's really big and spectacular!" It was Lu Bai who spoke, and he jumped off the carriage very excitedly, looking up at the capital.

Some people disliked that he spoke too straightforwardly and lost the elegance of a literati. They glanced at him and snorted coldly: "The land of the Dragon Sage in the capital attracts talents and retains elegance, and rough and rough people in the countryside should stay out."

Lu Bai has been with Ke Yuli for the past few years, and has become a bit naughty. Hearing this, how can he bear it?

Of course not!

He pointed at that person and shouted: "Come here, this person insulted Emperor Jingwu, hurry and arrest him and send him to death row!"

Hearing this, the man's legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, and he quickly retorted: "Don't swear, when did you disrespect Emperor Jingwu? It was you who scolded you!"

Lu Bai chuckled: "What is a rough and reckless man in the countryside? Emperor Jingwu led a group of peasant brothers..."

"Brother, calm down, Lu Ju's heart is straight, and he doesn't mean what brother said." Wu Juren hastily interrupted Lu Bai's words, hurried over to apologize to him, and said: "It's not easy to catch up with the exam, please let him go. "

Lu Bai also didn't want to find trouble for Gu Jin'an and the others, so he said: "Since this dear friend is begging for mercy, then I won't say much, but I just want to remind everyone that the capital is under the feet of the emperor, and there are noble people everywhere, so you should be cautious in your words and deeds."

He glanced at Lu Juren again, and said, "Walking with wise men will benefit you all the way; walking with fools will make it difficult to move an inch."

When Lu Juren heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to swear, but was held back by the fellow rushing for the exam.

And the examinees who came with him to take the exam all had bad expressions when they heard Lu Bai's words, and they complained in their hearts that Lu Ju was too busy. Some people had already planned to separate from Lu Ju after entering the city and not live with him. , so as not to be implicated by him.

Wu Juren had this plan in mind, and bowed to Lu Bai: "Thank you, brother, for not thinking about it, and I will take my leave first."

After saying that, he greeted the fellow Juren, took Lu Juren away, and continued to line up for inspection and enter the city.

This is just a small contradiction, no one cares, and no one dares to care.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, everyone came to rush for the exam, and they were all afraid that meddling in their own business would cause trouble to their upper body, so after seeing Lu Juren and the others leave, they no longer focused on this side, but looked at the majestic city tower while queuing up.

Most of the candidates came to Beijing for the first time, and they were very excited, and those who wrote poems and poems praised the capital.

You Juzi knelt down and worshiped the capital devoutly.

Lu Bai looked here and there, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down the scenes when the students from all over the country saw the capital for the first time, and went to ask the students: "Is this the first time you come to Beijing, brother? Came here for the exam? Seeing the capital, are you excited?"

Youjuzi really wiped away tears and told him about his feelings.

Some people didn't buy it and questioned who he was. After hearing that he was a scholar, they didn't beat him.

Lu Bai was jumping up and down, and after working for an hour, he heard Yao Youqian shout: "Lu Bai, get in the car, it's our turn to enter the city!"

"Here we come!" Lu Bai responded, ran back to the carriage, and followed the officials from various Jianghuai prefectures into the city for inspection.

The capital is the territory of the emperor, and when entering the capital, one has to go through layers of inspections by the guards: "Take out your household registration and road guide. Who is the surname? Who is the guarantor? Where did you come from? Do you have any fame? But you are here to rush for the exam? Have you tried insect traps?"

Those who were interrogated answered one by one, and then took out all the household registration, road guide, and recommendation letter of the guarantor, and showed it to the city gate guards for inspection.

There were quite a few candidates from the Jianghuai prefectures, and it was already an hour later by the time they all checked and were able to enter the capital.

And the students who entered the city one step earlier than them were still blocking the gate of the city, discussing where to go and find a place to stay.

The Ministry of Rites has special dormitories for those who come to Beijing to take the exam, but there are only about [-] dormitories with good environment, and they are for Xie Yuan from all over the country. The other dormitories are very simple, and some even have ten people. Datongpu where I live.

Juren gentlemen are also prominent figures in the village, how can they endure such hardships, and they want face, and they can't afford to lose the people who live in Datongpu, so many Juren who are not Jieyuan will go to the inn for the sake of face, even if they are cautious. Or rent a yard to live in.

Therefore, the prices of inns and houses in the capital have skyrocketed since three months before Qiuwei, and now they have risen to the point where they cannot be rented.

At this time, many wealthy households in the capital will invite the top-ranking people to live in their own courtyards according to the results of Qiu Wei in various places.

Some juren will go, and some juren would rather die than go, because this is actually a kind of transaction, you have received favors from others, and you have to pay back after you are admitted to be an official!
"Gu Dalang, Gu Dalang, this way, my boss is here, where are you looking?!" Dou Shaodong saw Gu Jinan and the others from a distance, but after waving his hands several times, Gu Jinan didn't see him, so he shouted out anxiously. Voice.

He didn't dare to call out his full name, Gu Jin'an's reputation was too great, many people were staring at him inside and outside the city gate, trying to rob him and live in his house.

Gu Jinan followed the prestige, and after seeing Dou Shaodong's house, he waved to him happily.

Dou Shaodong's family squeezed over, and instead of talking to Gu Jin'an, he said to Xi Jiaoyu and Miao Zongqi: "It's too messy here, everyone, follow me to Donglai Inn first, and we'll talk after you settle down."

The Donglai Inn is owned by Mr. Dou's family. It closed down a month ago, and it was specially vacated for the Jianghuai students to live in.

There is no need to pay for the house, but only for meals and charcoal fire.

But one month after the announcement of the palace exam, no matter whether you pass the exam or not, you have to leave.

Regarding the matter of Donglai Inn, when they were gathering for the exam, the magistrate of Linhe Prefecture told all the candidates that they don't have to worry about anything, and they can live in it at ease. After they pass the exam, Mr. Dou's family will not ask them to do anything.

Miao Zongqi also said: "Masters, go to the Donglai Inn to settle down first. If you are really not used to staying here, wait two days before looking for the house. Now it is the best policy to go."

There are people everywhere at the gate of the city, it's a mess, and it's risky to wait too long.

The members of Jianghuai also understood this point, they had been exhausted for another month, they were very tired and no longer reserved, after thanking Mr Dou's family, they went to Donglai Inn with Mr Dou's family.

The location of Donglai Inn is excellent, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, there is a road leading directly to the Imperial College and the Gongyuan, and it takes half an hour to get there by carriage, which is very convenient for their big exams.

The people were very satisfied with this inn, and thanked Master Dou one after another.

Xi Jiaoyu also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Dou Shaodong's family, thanks to you, otherwise we would have to be busy just to settle down."

But Gu Jinan and the others did not live here, but lived in a house on another street... This house was specially vacated by Dou Shaodong's family, and the two houses on the left and right are also his family's, but there are no residents, only a few servants Look at the house.

In this way, Gu Jinan and the others can prepare for the exam quietly without being disturbed by the outside world and neighbors.

Lu Bai had a good relationship with Gu Jinan and the others, so they were able to stay together. When eating, he asked worriedly: "The other members of Jianghuai will not be dissatisfied because of this, will they target Brother Gu?"

Dou Shaodong's family hehe: "They have been given a free inn to live in. The inn was rebuilt from another courtyard. The location is good and the house is good. If you are still dissatisfied with this, you can only say that they are born with small stomachs and small intestines, so they are not worth dealing with. They should be broken early!"
