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

Chapter 205 The famous Liuhe Inn in Fucheng

"It's just a fluke!" In fact, Gu Chengyu was also surprised to be No.1, but he just wanted to be within ten of the college entrance exams.Those who are less than ten are called endowed students. Endowed students not only have a lot of tax-free land, but also have extra income besides the monthly rice allowance, such as guaranteeing people.

A total of more than 400 candidates were admitted in the second round. He Shunian and the others were in the middle, and Gu Wanhua was at the bottom of the No. 90 eighth place, but he himself was very happy. For him, as long as he can pass.As for being able to take the exam until now, he feels incredible.

Gu Chengyu was about to go back, and glanced at the crowd on the right, only to find that they were two acquaintances.A young examinee wearing a lake blue straight gown, holding a fan in his hand, was talking and laughing happily with the examinee next to him. It seemed that he should have done well in the exam!

Gu Chengyu recognized that this was the scholar who had appeared in that alley, he passed by him, and heard the candidates talking with him envy him for his high ranking, so he should be able to pass the last round.

The examinee kept his mouth modest, and said that the night before the exam, he lit up the lamp to study at night and didn't sleep until the third watch.Gu Chengyu shook his head with a grin, where did he burn the lamp and read at night?

Another candidate who was familiar with him was, of course, Senior Brother Huang Ming. Huang Ming didn't see him and was pushing out from the crowd.Last time, after Gu Chengyu guessed his intentions, he didn't want to get in touch with this kind of person, so he told Gu Wanhua and the others to hurry up!
But it seemed to be too late, Huang Ming had already seen Gu Chengyu from the crowd.

"Junior Brother Gu!" Huang Ming couldn't easily squeeze out of the crowd, and immediately walked in front of Gu Chengyu and the others.

"Huh? It's Senior Brother Huang? I wondered why I didn't see Senior Brother Huang! It turned out that we just happened to meet." Although Gu Chengyu didn't want to see him, he didn't want to embarrass him.

"Yeah! We just ran into each other just now! Look, there are too many people in the government test this time, and it's not easy to run into each other. Which inn are you staying in? I haven't seen you before! "In fact, Huang Ming was also a little puzzled. He had wandered around several larger inns, and wanted to meet Gu Chengyu by chance, but he never did!
"We're staying at the Liuhe Inn! Huh? Where's Senior Brother Qian? Didn't he come with you?" Gu Chengyu looked around, but didn't find Qian Gui.

"Ah! It's a pity to say! Brother Qian failed the ranking, and he left yesterday!" Huang Ming was really regretful that if there was one less person to live with, he would have to pay an extra room fee.

"Oh! That's really a pity. We happen to be free today, why don't I be the host, and please brother Huang be sure to do me a favor!" Although the word last time was evasive, Gu Chengyu was also embarrassed not to fulfill it.

"Then I won't be polite to Junior Brother Gu. Why don't I go to see Junior Brother's inn? I don't know him yet! I'm not familiar with this city either! I don't know where this Liuhe Inn is?" Huang Ming saw Gu Chengyu really He asked for a treat, so he agreed immediately. He originally wanted to make friends, and this was exactly what he wanted.

Gu Wanhua and the others behind him were a little strange. This Huang Ming was really enthusiastic and familiar.

Gu Chengyu had no choice but to agree to take Huang Ming to the inn where he was staying.

"Are you staying at the Liuhe Inn?" At this moment, a candidate suddenly interrupted.

"Yes! But what's wrong?" He Shunian looked at the examinee suspiciously, but the expression on that person's face was really weird.

The examinee took a look at them, and that look made He Shunian and the others very uncomfortable. Then the examinee shook his head, "I'm afraid you haven't heard of it yet! Scholars usually don't stay in the inn."

Ye Zhiqiu and the others felt a little baffled. Is it because there was a thief in the inn?But Gu Chengyu thought of the alley behind, as long as he opened the window in his room, his line of sight would be facing the house, and he also saw more than one family with these romantic women.

Ye Zhiqiu's windows are not facing each other, so they can't see as clearly as he does!Maybe they didn't notice either.

"Xiongtai is referring to the bandits?" Shopkeeper Niu sent the bandits to the government office with great fanfare. Many people have seen it, and it has been spread all over the streets in the past few days.

The examinee first smiled mysteriously, and then said to several people ambiguously: "You really didn't find the alley behind the inn? It's a gentle town! There were candidates who lived in it before, and they were facing that beautiful woman all day long. How could they calm down?" Come to study? Didn’t you expect to fail the exam? Over time, no candidate dared to live in it. You guys are really determined, and you are not moved by the beauty, I really admire you!"

"According to Xiongtai, living in that inn, the reason for failing the exam is because there is a beautiful woman living in the alley behind?"

Sun Xian scoffed at such a statement. It is certainly useful to hold the Buddha's feet temporarily for the exam, but it is more based on the accumulation of the day, and when you see a beautiful woman, you start to get distracted. It can only be blamed for not having enough concentration, why blame others?
Gu Chengyu also thought it was nonsense, and it was the woman who failed the co-authorship exam?
"I don't know much about it now. I've heard people say that when those women saw scholars living in the inn, they would poke their heads at the window all day long. Anyway, you can do it yourself!" The scholar glanced at Gu Chengyu and the others, and sighed and left.

"Cough! I didn't see it. I read books every day in my room. Who has the time to read this?" Sun Xian quickly explained when he saw his brother-in-law glanced at him.

He is five years older than Gu Wan, and he is seventeen this year. To get married, he has to wait for Gu Wan and Yan, so it will take at least three years.He was afraid that Gu Chengyu would not believe him, thinking that he would be attracted by those women.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Ye Zhiqiu was a little surprised. He lived in these two days, but he didn't pay attention to things outside the window.He is a typical one who only reads the books of sages and sages, and keeps his ears shut.

Gu Chengyu is not worried about Ye Zhiqiu. Ye Zhiqiu is still young and may not have enlightened yet, but the other three, one has a family, and the other two are engaged, so I don't know if they have good concentration!
Sun Xian hurriedly expressed his opinion, while He Shunian looked blank. On the contrary, Gu Chengyu looked at Gu Wanhua with a somewhat uncomfortable face, and his ears were still a little red!Gu Wanhua is already married, so he understands the relationship between men and women, it seems that he needs to be careful, lest Gu Wanhua disappoint his virtuous niece and daughter-in-law at home.

"Since that brother said so, I think it would be better for Junior Brother Gu to change to another inn. Although everyone only concentrates on the exam and has nothing else to do, it's always bad to be mentioned!" Huang Ming and Gu Chengyu walked side by side , while persuading.

"Senior Brother Huang, don't worry, those who clean up will clean up themselves!" Gu Chengyu felt that it was a disaster for the fish in the pond, so what does the inn have to do with that alley?
A group of people went back to the Liuhe Inn and asked shopkeeper Niu to serve some side dishes.Huang Mingneng was eloquent, and praised Gu Chengyu and the others as if they were dragons and phoenixes, but he always mentioned Gu Chengyu's family background intentionally or unintentionally.
