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

Chapter 204

"Ah?" Shopkeeper Niu was a little stunned, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this when he was talking about bandits just now.

"Oh! It's rented!" The shopkeeper Niu came back to his senses, and gave Gu Chengyu a strange look.

"Business Manager Niu can't earn a few dollars a year here, right? Especially the alley behind this inn, I'm afraid it has blocked a lot of business!"

The shopkeeper Niu blushed when Gu Chengyu said that, for a scholar to take an exam, the inn where he lives is very important, the most important thing is to be clean!But if there are so many beauties living in the alley behind, even a man can't bear to watch with the window open every day.Over time, once it spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred, scholars don't like to come here. Of course, they may not dare to come here!

His inn is actually not big, and there are only five upper rooms, and the rest are medium rooms, lower rooms, and common shops. The business is deserted!
"So shopkeeper Niu, don't be angry! It's just that shopkeeper Niu is willing to nest in this place for the rest of his life?" In fact, Gu Chengyu saw that shopkeeper Niu was quite smooth in doing business, and he was not an unprincipled person. He still wanted to open a restaurant in Fucheng. The shopkeeper does things for him, and he just pays more money.

"Young Master, what do you mean?" Shopkeeper Niu's eyes widened. Could it be what he meant?
"Of course I want to ask Shopkeeper Niu to do things for me. I want to open a restaurant, but I still need a shopkeeper. I don't know if Shopkeeper Niu would be willing?" Although Gu Chengyu doesn't know much about Shopkeeper Niu's character at present, restaurants always hire other accountants , what he likes is the ability of shopkeeper Niu.

"Is this true?" Shopkeeper Niu felt a little unbelievable. In fact, his restaurant can earn 200 taels of silver a year, excluding the rental fee.It is enough for their family of three to make do with, here he does not need to be supervised by others, but when it comes to Gu Chengyu's place, he is just a laborer, so he is a little hesitant!
"Business Manager Niu, don't rush back to me! I'll stay in Fucheng for a few more days, and when I leave, there's still time for you to reply!" Gu Chengyu had already expected that Shopkeeper Niu would hesitate, after all, he changed from being his own boss to working for others , If it is given to some people, they will not even consider it.

"Then I'm really sorry! I have to think about it!"

"The bandit matter, there is Lao Niu's shopkeeper. I am a scholar, and I don't want to get involved in this matter! You just go back to the Jiang Zhifu truthfully. I will excuse you first!" Gu Chengyu got up and went upstairs after finishing speaking!

It is certainly a pleasure to get a talent, but if he is not willing, he can't force it.He doesn't want to draw a big cake for him, it depends on how the shopkeeper Niu chooses!
Shopkeeper Niu looked at the back of Gu Chengyu going upstairs. This young man had an extraordinary bearing, but looking at the classmates around him, none of them belonged to a rich family, and he was not supposed to be a young man of any aristocratic family.However, it is true that there is no shortage of money in the family, but he doesn't know if following Mr. Gu will have a future in the future.

Shopkeeper Niu looked up at the inn, did he really want to stay here for the rest of his life?He hesitated a lot in his heart, and finally decided to inquire about it carefully before making plans!

Gu Chengyu was sitting in the No. [-] examination shed, looking at the examination paper in front of him.This is the second test, and the main test is essays.Zawen is very similar to modern prose, but it is spoken in classical Chinese.

There is no format required on the examination paper here, but only a landscape essay.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, and wrote the beginning on the draft paper, "Walk a hundred and twenty steps west from Xiaoqiu, separated by bamboos, and hear the sound of water, like ringing rings, and feel happy." This is a lot of thinking, while writing I made a few revisions, so that the whole essay was written in the afternoon.

After looking at it and picking up a pen to polish it a little, I copied it into the test paper.

This time Gu Chengyu didn't wait for anyone to hand in the paper first, he was the first to ring the bell, while the candidates in the opposite row were still thinking hard!
Gu Chengyu left the Gongyuan and saw Ming Mo and Gu Wanqian standing outside.

"Young master came out so early?" Ming Mo was a little surprised that Gu Chengyu came out so soon, he thought he would have to wait at least half an hour.

There is no need to wait for the release of the government exam, after finishing writing, just hand in the exam paper and you can go out!

Gu Chengyu glanced at Gu Wanqian and saw that his face was a little happy, so he guessed it was a success!
"Uncle! This matter is settled!" Gu Wanqian's voice was brisk, which was the joy emanating from his heart.

"Go back to the inn and talk!" Gu Chengyu glanced at the family members standing at the entrance of the tribute courtyard waiting for the candidates to come out, and raised his hand to stop Gu Wanqian from continuing.When something happened to bandits, it's better to be cautious, and be careful to sail for thousands of years!

Gu Wanqian was taken aback, and then immediately responded: "Hey!"

Gu Chengyu found a secluded place, and waited for more than an hour before several people came together.Gu Wanhua didn't say anything more this time, essays can be written, but whether the writing is good or bad, there is no standard answer.

"Master! The owner of the restaurant agreed to take 200 taels less, which is the lowest. As for the small shop, the owner is only willing to take 30 taels less. This is the last price I negotiated." Gu Wanqian returned to the inn , in Gu Chengyu's room, told the final price.

He looked at Gu Chengyu nervously, he could only talk about this.At the beginning when he went to the dental shop to take him there, the masters didn't even look at him directly. It was because of his good words later, coupled with his empathy and reason.

In the end, he took out his trump card and said that if they don't sell it, the young master won't buy it, and he will go back after the exam in two days. By then, their shop may not be able to sell for such a price!Only then did the master make a concession, probably because Ming Mo was so eager that they thought they had to buy it.

"Hmm! The price is just as you said, I'll go and see it with you tomorrow, so I can buy it early!" Gu Chengyu took out ten taels of silver from his pocket, and handed it to Gu Wanqian.

"Take it! Go back and buy some good body nourishing for your grandma!" Of course Gu Chengyu will give the promised reward!

Gu Wanqian didn't refuse, he needed the money, and he needed the medicine.

There was nothing to say all night, and it was time for the incident tomorrow.

"Young master! You are No.1 this time!" Ming Mo ran over excitedly, ignoring the messy bun, and said to Gu Chengyu.

"Hey? You can't just look at Uncle's! What about ours? But it's over? Oh! No way! I'll squeeze in and have a look by myself!" Gu Wanhua squeezed out when he saw Ming Mo just entered, and guessed he must have not read it Those who got their rankings didn't know if he could pass this time, but he remembered pushing himself into the crowd.

"Oh! Master Hua! I forgot, I'll squeeze in to have a look again." After Ming Mo finished speaking, he squeezed in again.

Gu Wanhua doesn't know kung fu, and he squeezed in later, how could it be so easy to squeeze in?No, after a while, he was squeezed out by the crowd.

"You can stay here with peace of mind! Mingmo will help you see clearly." Gu Chengyu held down Gu Wanhua who was still about to squeeze, and said to several people.

"Chengyu! You are really amazing, and you are No.1 again!" Ye Zhiqiu has always admired Gu Chengyu, the person who can always stand in the first or second place really makes him want to be jealous, but he can't be jealous.
