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

Chapter 282

"The inn is called Qunying Building, and it's the place where all the talented people who come to take the exam want to live." The third son was a little proud when he said this, and he felt so honored.

"Oh? What's so special about the inn?" Gu Chengyu asked with great interest when he heard the interest.

"It's based on writing to make friends. If you answer the questions asked by the store, you can get half of the discount. As for the questions, I don't know! Several masters also know that I can't read, and I can't enter the inn. , I don’t even know what’s going on inside.” The third son rubbed the back of his head and said embarrassedly.

"Let me take you there! Qunying Building has to go a little further, it's the closest to the Gongyuan." The third son walked forward while motioning Gu Chengyu and the others to follow.

Gu Chengyu and the others discussed it and thought it would be good to go and have a look. After all, it is closer to the Gongyuan. Maybe they can answer the questions asked by the store and pay less rent!I just don't know how much the rent in Qunying Building is. If it is expensive, everyone will return it and choose a new one.

Gu Chengyu and the others followed the third son for about half a stick of incense before arriving at their destination.

Gu Chengyu raised his head and looked at this inn. The scale of this inn is indeed large, there must be a lot of rooms inside, and the decoration is extremely gorgeous. As the number one in the capital, it should be more luxurious inside.

But at this moment, the front of the inn was full of people. Gu Chengyu looked at the clothes of these people and found that they were all students rushing for the exam.

"Masters! The inn is here, and I'm going back too. My father is still sick, so I don't worry." The third son bid farewell when he saw that Gu Chengyu and the others had arrived.

Originally, he went late today, but now he didn't earn any money, so he could only go back first.

"Wait!" Gu Chengyu stopped Xiaosanzi, and took out a five-liang silver ingot from his bosom, "Take it!"

The third son was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Chengyu, seeing Gu Chengyu smiling at him, he wanted to take it very much, but finally withdrew his hand.

"Take it! I'll invite you for a few more days. I'm going to go shopping in the capital for the next two days. Don't lead others the way." Thinking of his plan, Gu Chengyu thought it would be a good idea to find a mistress as a guide. Let him take Ming Mo and the others to find a shop.This money also solves the urgent need of others, it can be said to have the best of both worlds.

"Okay! That doesn't need so much!" Little Sanzi can earn about sixteen taels of silver a day, which is still the most, and besides, it is impossible to have business every day, five taels of silver is really too much.However, he is not hypocritical, his father really needs money, and he will try his best to do more to repay it.

Gu Chengyu deduced from the old stubborn man's words that the bone should be broken, and the cost would not be much, just connect it.Of course, if you have a fever, that's a different matter, not to mention it was delayed for many days.

He gave five taels of silver not to pity the young man, but to be moved by his strong and hard-working spirit.Although it is wrong to lie on the pier, who hasn't made a mistake?

"Chengyu, you are kind, how do you know what he said is true? You give back five taels of silver?" Sun Xian hurriedly stopped Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu was young and easily deceived by others. They had just arrived and were not familiar with the place. Yes, if someone cheated, there is really no reason to go.

"It's okay!" Gu Chengyu believed in his vision. He didn't say that he would give money to the third son before, but the third son still followed, so the five taels of silver was regarded as a test of his character.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu handed over the money again, Sun Xian had no choice but to stop persuading him.This kind of thing is all about learning from a fall.

"That's what I owe the master. I'll come over early tomorrow morning and wait for the master here." The youngest son was moved by Gu Chengyu's belief in him, so he promised that he would definitely come tomorrow, but he couldn't enter the inn, he could only stay at the inn. Wait at the door.

At this moment, he was very excited. His father's medical expenses had been settled.He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the situation here, so he hurriedly put the silver in his pocket.

Gu Chengyu nodded, and the third son took the silver, turned around and ran away quickly.

After the third son left, Gu Chengyu and the others turned their attention back to the inn.

"Huh? That man in front really solved that pair? That pair is really difficult!" A student asked while pulling the student in front.

"Didn't you see that everyone went in? If you can live in a lower-class room, half of the rent will be waived! I will squeeze in again to see if there is any match." The candidates in front squeezed forward excitedly Squeezed, ready to try.

"That pair is too difficult, I'd better go and see the others!" The student behind shook his head and walked to the other side of the inn.

Gu Chengyu took a closer look. The examinees in front of him were mainly divided into three piles, corresponding to the upper, middle, and lower third-class rooms, and the questions asked here were also different.

"Huh? There are rules here." Just as a student in front walked away, the wooden board hanging on the outer wall was exposed, and the rules were written on it.

"Let's go and have a look!" Sun Xian also became interested. Literati like to discuss each other's knowledge, which actually means to compete.

Gu Chengyu also stepped forward to take a look, and found that it was similar to what he saw, but the introduction inside was more detailed.If you can answer one question in the lower-class room, half of the fee will be waived, and you will be free if you can answer the last two questions; Ten rooms will be opened separately, until all the answers are finished.Gu Chengyu felt that these questions must be difficult, otherwise he would not be so confident. If it were easy, the twenty rooms must have been booked long ago.

Will merchants do loss-making business?Of course not, it's a gimmick like this.Not only earning money, but also earning fame.

Looking at the last rule, the conditions here are more stringent.There are also ten upper-class rooms, but only one is given each day. After answering the questions, No.1 will be selected on the day, and then they will be admitted. This question must be more difficult than the previous ones.

But how do you know it is No.1?This is interesting, this inn even invited two great Confucians to sit in the town, who is No. 1, the great Confucians have their own conclusions.

One of the great Confucians here is the head of the most famous Boshan Academy in the capital, and the other is Mr. Fang, a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy, and an official of the fifth rank.

The ranking is announced at the beginning of the daily application, and No.1 can be selected to be admitted to the room for free.And Gu Chengyu came with them just in time, today happened to be the first day.But Gu Chengyu suspected that it was still a problem whether he could answer this question!
"Chengyu! You see, there are more people on the right side. It seems that this side should be easier. Let's go and have a look." Ye Zhiqiu is also in high spirits. It seems that in ancient times, as long as they were literati, they were very keen on making friends with literature.

Gu Chengyu followed Ye Zhiqiu into the crowd on the right, but he was young and not as tall as the people in front of him, so he couldn't see the hanging questions.Standing back a little, only saw half of the question.
