The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 165 Inn
"Dongzi! I really bothered your shopkeeper, and booked an inn for our family. Otherwise, we don't know if we can find an inn to stay this time." Old Gu felt a little emotional, it is convenient to have acquaintances!But shopkeeper Liu is still considerate.

"Brother Dongzi! When we settle down, we must thank your shopkeeper. It really solves our urgent need." Gu Chengyu didn't expect that there were so many people taking this exam, and they actually came here not too late. This time is really thanks to Shopkeeper Liu.

"That's really an unfortunate coincidence. My shopkeeper went to Fucheng yesterday. This time, it won't be five or six days, but he won't be able to come back. Uncle Gu, go north. The inn is not far from the examination room."

The bullock cart entered North Street and stopped directly in front of an inn that was a little further in. Gu Chengyu then got out of the bullock cart and took a look. The name of the inn was Dongsheng, and it might have been named in connection with the exam. good sign.

"Treasurer Jiang!" Dongzi led the crowd into the inn, and called out to the man standing in front of the counter.

"Yo! It's Brother Dongzi! What's the matter? Your shopkeeper's little friend is here?" Shopkeeper Jiang looked behind Dongzi, and seeing about a dozen people coming in Hulala, he thought it was an acquaintance of Shopkeeper Liu. Shopkeeper Liu had already booked a room with him the day before yesterday.

"Shopkeeper Liu, you see that people have already been brought in. There are ten of them in total. Our shopkeeper booked the first room, right?"

Gu Chengyu has looked at the environment of the inn since he came in.In fact, there are not many shops next to the inn, the environment is quite quiet, and the decoration is also elegant. It is expected that this place should not be cheap. After all, it is near the examination room and it is also close to the county government. It may be similar to those high-end clubs in the previous life.

There are some tables on the first floor, and there are still people having lunch at the moment. Seeing so many people come in at once, they are a little curious.

"Hey! My little brother made it difficult for me. You know that the inn is full now. It took me a lot of effort to move four rooms out. This is what your shopkeeper Qian reminded me to keep. I also want to keep it. I didn't dare to move, but who knows, if so many of you can come at once, there must be not enough rooms."

Shopkeeper Jiang was also in a bit of a dilemma. In fact, there were only three rooms left, and he added the one that was not used on weekdays. That room was reserved for their boss. The boss probably won’t come back recently. Even the inn can't accommodate them, so the owner won't blame him if he takes them out.

"Then what should I do?" Dongzi was also a little dumbfounded, four rooms are too few.

"Do you think this is good? One is our boss's, for you to live in temporarily, I will give you an extra bed, and the other three are upper rooms, all with extra beds inside, so only one room sleeps three. Personally, you need to discuss this with each other. I have no choice but to give up my boss's house."

Only now did Gu Chengyu realize that the inn was already full, thank you shopkeeper Liu again!Otherwise, there is really no place to live.

"Father! If you go to other places, there may not be so many rooms. It's better to stay here." Besides, shopkeeper Liu has already booked it. Wouldn't it be shameful not to stay?
"Alright, let's just squeeze it together, it's not a big deal." The Gu family used to live in such a crowded place, they could bear it, so what's the point of living in one room with three people?
"Brothers, what do you think?" Gu Chengyu asked the others behind his head.

He Shunian arched his hands, and said: "It would be nice to have a place to live. With the help of my junior brother, I will also live here." If you go to other places, you may not be able to find a vacant house, even though it looks expensive here. A little bit, but when you are away from home, sometimes you can't save it if you want to save it.

Sun Xian also nodded to indicate that he would stay. Before that, he worked as a bookkeeper in the town and earned some money. If he lived in an inn for a few days, he should still be able to afford it, but the room was really expensive.

"Shopkeeper Jiang! I don't know if there are servants?" Sun Xian wondered whether he could save money or not. Exams cost a lot, and servants could also live in the same room, but the layout was not so elegant.

"What a coincidence, this genius, the servants are already full, and now there are only four rooms left in the entire inn." Shopkeeper Liang shook his head towards Sun Xian.

Sun Xian also had to settle down in the inn.

Ye Zhiqiu was the only one left, he felt a bit embarrassed, he was short of money, this inn was not cheap at first glance, and it was still a room, how could he have so much money?
"Senior Brother Ye, with so many people, there must be room for three people. Why don't you wrong Senior Brother Ye and squeeze with us!" Gu Chengyu knew that Ye Zhiqiu had no money, so he called him, but he didn't even think about him paying the rent.

Ye Zhiqiu was still in a dilemma at first, but now he thinks about it, three people share one room, and it won't cost much to share the rent, so it's better to live here.

Shopkeeper Jiang saw that everyone agreed, so he asked his assistant to take everyone up to the wing room on the second floor.

"Everyone! This is where our boss used to live. It is bigger and can accommodate two beds. You can sleep three people in it." The clerk took everyone to the innermost private room on the second floor, opened the door, and pointed Looking at the house and said.

"Uncle! We are going to live with Ye Zhiqiu. Do you want this room? Brother Ye definitely wants to live in this room." Gu Chengyu turned around and asked the uncle first. After all, this room looks the quietest, and the furnishings inside are also relative. better.

"You guys stay here! You still have to take your classmates with you, and Hua Geer and I live in the room." Uncle Gu had already looked at this Ye Zhiqiu before. Judging from the other party's clothes, his family should be poor, and his nephew is probably saved. Take care of the mind.

Since I can get my master's permission to come to take the exam, I must have good knowledge, make a good relationship, and be a helper in the future.

"Second brother! If you have no objections, then my father and I will live in this room." Gu Chengyu turned to look at Gu Chengyi.

"This room looks comfortable, and you won't be disturbed if you live here. You and dad can live in this room! We Erlang are juniors, but there is no reason for juniors to surpass the elders and enjoy themselves."

In fact, this is the first time Gu Chengyi has seen such a room. The furnishings inside are not ordinary at first glance, but there is an outsider in the room, so it is naturally not easy to live in it.There are more people, how should Erlang study his homework?Aren't you always being disturbed?

"Why don't you trade with us, second brother? It doesn't matter which room we live in, as it happens that Erlang can concentrate on studying his homework."

Gu Chengyu also told the second brother that he was a little angry. Ye Zhiqiu and the second brother are not familiar with them, and it is the best choice to live with them, but what does the second brother mean?Talking in a strange way, in fact, he is not used to living with unfamiliar people!

The upper house is no worse than this, just a few decorations, but this decoration belongs to the owner of the house, and they can only look at it, it has no meaning to them.He chose this room because it was big enough for three people to squeeze in, and Ye Zhiqiu didn't know Erlang and the others, so wouldn't it be awkward to live together?

"Didn't I just talk about it? You live here! Don't you still have classmates? Your classmates are not familiar with us, and they will feel uncomfortable living together." Seeing that Gu Chengyu also lowered his face, Gu Chengyi said embarrassingly.

As for He Shunian and his son, Xiaoer had already asked Xiao Er to take them to the upper room. The price of the upper room was not cheap. They didn't even dare to think about this room. It was obvious that shopkeeper Jiang wanted to save Gu Chengyu's face. They just took it out, they wouldn't be so ignorant.

Ye Zhiqiu also embarrassed their conversation, as if he took advantage of it, but he will definitely pay the rent, touched the money in his arms, before he went out, his mother gave him all the money in the house, It's more than five taels in total, and it's money that his family has saved for two years. He came here with the determination to pass this exam, and his family can't afford it.
