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

Chapter 298 Senior Brother
Gu Chengyu was about to go in the direction of the inn, but there was a sound behind him.He looked back and found that it turned out to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old candidate.The examinee had already had a crown on his head, but Gu Chengyu could clearly see that he was not yet twenty.

After thinking about it carefully, this person might be Fu Yanshan, the nephew of Fu Ming, the head of Boshan Academy.Although Gu Chengyu had only been in the capital for a short time, he still heard the news.Fu Yanshan is a young talent. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of 13. He is one of the most popular candidates for Jieyuan in this year's provincial examination.

There are black village gambling houses everywhere in the capital. Gu Chengyu inquired about these, and later asked Ming Mo to find out. These talented students are all on the list of gambling houses.He is also considered a dark horse that came out halfway, and the odds are not high. It may be that he became famous when he first checked into the inn a month ago.

Ming Mo and Ming Yan actually bet 20 taels of silver each. His odds are [-] for [-], which is already very low.Other Fu Yanshan also pays [-] for [-], Min Feng pays [-] for [-], and other Jiangnan talents pay [-] for [-], and there are more.

Gu Chengyu felt that the eyes of the masses were discerning, and everyone believed that Min Feng was likely to get Xie Yuan.

As for Gu Chengyu himself, because he is an examinee in the Northland, besides, he was not keen on socializing before. For example, participating in a poetry meeting, of course, it is impossible to have lower odds than those who have been famous for a long time.

Gu Chengyu is not so conceited that he will definitely get Jieyuan, after all, there are people who become famous at a young age like him.Besides, the exam also has to be partly due to luck, if the same examiner just doesn't like his writing style, then his ranking is unlikely to be too high.

The only thing he can be sure of is that as long as there are no accidents, he should be able to pass the provincial examination, and the ranking will not be low.

Fu Yanshan walked out of the gate of the Gongyuan and looked at Gu Chengyu who was standing outside.This candidate was the first to hand in the paper before, and he was very strange, as if he had never heard of this character.He only concentrates on studying in the academy on weekdays. Jiangnan talents have been famous for a long time, of course he has heard of them, but this candidate is so young, he seems to have never heard of them.

In fact, Fu Yanshan didn't pay attention, and Fu Ming mentioned a few words about Gu Chengyu when he went back, but Fu Yanshan focused on the book, and then Fu Ming didn't mention it again.

Seeing the other party looking at him, Gu Chengyu smiled and bowed.Unexpectedly, as soon as he straightened up, he saw Fu Yanshan turned around expressionlessly, lifted up his robe, and stepped into the gorgeous carriage that was already waiting beside him.

Gu Chengyu froze for a moment, touched his nose, a little speechless, okay!It's him who is being self-indulgent!

Ming Yan's expression was rather astonished. His young master is good-looking and talented, so most people are still willing to make friends with him.Of course, those jealous students don't count.But I didn't expect that this person would not buy the young master's account. After all, scholars cherish their reputation. In a situation like this, most of them will return the gift, and the etiquette is like this.

Seeing Gu Chengyu's embarrassed look, Ming Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling a little happy in his heart for no reason!There are times when his son is deflated.

Gu Chengyu hurried back to the inn, and ordered Xiao Er to bring some hot water up.

"Young Master Gu came back so early? I'll bring the hot water in for you!" This little boy is called Heizi, and he has been familiar with Gu Chengyu and the others for a long time, so he is also called Mr. Gu Chengyu like Ming Mo and the others!After all, at such a young age, it doesn't sound good to be called a master.

Heizi likes to take on Gu Chengyu's work the most. Although it is hard work to carry the hot water to the third floor, Mr. Gu will give some money for his hard work.The other mistresses were also envious of this job, but Heizi was clever, and as soon as Gu Chengyu came in, he moved closer.

Gu Chengyu returned to the room, feeling a little tired, waited for Xiaoer to bring up hot water, took a shower, and fell asleep.

Sun Xian and the others didn't come back until noon after the exam, and when Gu Chengyu woke up, the Shen time had already passed.In the dormitory, because of the small space and the heat, Gu Chengyu didn't sleep much, and was awake half of the night. Fortunately, he brought some mosquito repellent medicine, otherwise it would be too late to fight mosquitoes.

After tidying herself up, Gu Chengyu sat at the table refreshed and read a book.

"My lord! Do you want to eat something to pad your stomach first? Mr. Sun and Mr. Ye haven't woken up yet!" Ming Mo had already returned when Gu Chengyu was sleeping.

"No need, I'm not hungry yet, let's eat together when they wake up! How is the arrangement of the two shops over there?" Gu Chengyu bought the shop he was optimistic about last time, and also bought a smaller one. Getting ready to have a fast.

"It's all set up, and the people have bought it. The master chefs are learning how to cook, and it should be able to open in about ten days." Ming Mo has been running with Yu Tanzi for the past two days, so he is very concerned about the progress of the restaurant and pastry shop. clear.

"Transfer a few people from your T-type generation, and go to the capital to watch first. Girls don't need to transfer, I have other uses. Let Gu Wanqian learn from it. When we go back, we will rely on him to support here in the capital. gone."

Gu Chengyu focused on cultivating the T-type generation, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, and it is not yet the time to use them.Gu Wanqian has almost learned, and now he just needs to find a backer in the capital.

He thought of his senior brother. When he came, the teacher gave him two posts, which belonged to his senior brother and third senior brother, and said that he could ask them for help.But before he finished the provincial examination, he was not going to pay a visit to the mansion.

His senior elder brother is Yin Kun, the right deputy governor of the Inspectorate, and he is the third rank; his second senior brother Wu Anwai is the prefect of Dingchuan Prefecture, and he is the fourth rank;It stands to reason that as soon as Gu Chengyu came to the capital, he would go to visit the two senior brothers in the capital in person, but because Gu Chengyu had to take the provincial examination, he felt that it was better to avoid suspicion.

Besides, his teacher didn't make much noise when he accepted him, so not many people knew about it.Gu Chengyu didn't want to make any troubles in front of Qiu Wei, so he only planned to wait for the exam before going to visit in person. Before that, he only asked Yu Tanzi to take Ming Mo to various houses to give gifts.

During the apprenticeship, the three senior brothers could not leave the capital and the place, so they all asked the steward to come and give gifts.But Gu Chengyu knew that it was all for the sake of the teacher, and he had no friendship with him.Of course, no matter what you say, you are still brothers, so you still need to move around more.

"Mingmo, tell Wanqian to come see me!"

Ever since Yu Tanzi and Gu Wanqian came to the capital, they also lived in the Qunying Building, but only in the middle room, and the upper room was already full.

Gu Chengyu plans to add more dishes to Juxianglou in the capital.After all, the capital is prosperous and there are many restaurants, if there is no special feature, I'm afraid it won't hold water.

"Uncle! You called me?" Gu Wanqian entered the room and saluted Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Gu Wanqian. Although Gu Wanqian is still a young man, his temperament has become more and more stable.

"You ask someone to inquire about Yin Kun, the right deputy governor of the Inspectorate, and He Jisheng, the minister of Honglu Temple, and find out everything about their mansion. Come back to me!" Gu Chengyu wanted to find a backer, but he didn't know the two of them. Brother's personality.

He intends to give away a share, but he also needs to find a reliable one. If he is greedy, then he is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.
