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

Chapter 305 Lu Ming Banquet

"No, this time I have been away from home for the longest time. I participated in the Luming Banquet. After the restaurant opens, I plan to leave for Jingyuan Mansion."

It has been almost two months since I left home, and Gu Chengyu is quite homesick, besides, Qunying Building is only free until the day of the Luming Banquet, if I want to live again, I will have to spend money.

He didn't care, but Sun Xian and the others were afraid that it would be difficult to bear the burden. After all, the upper house in Qunying Building cost five taels of silver a night!
"Alright! I'm coming to the capital to go to school in a month or so. Do you live in the house or in the mansion?"

Gu Chengyu was not surprised after hearing this. Yin Kun treated him as his own family, which was much better than He Jisheng. He Jisheng treated him completely out of face.

However, he can't be blamed for this, they have only met once, and they are still not familiar with each other, so it is impossible for them to take good care of him.

"I'd better buy a house outside! I'm not familiar with the capital, so I want to ask my brother to pay attention to it!" No matter if you live in a Zhaishe or outside, buying a yard in the capital is a must.

There are still three years until Chunwei. If he passes the exam, he plans to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a scholar. If he is lucky enough to pass the exam, he can be directly selected as editor or editor.

In the Dayan Dynasty, there was a rule that "non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet", and Shu Jishi was called "Prince Minister".As long as you become a good scholar or are directly selected as editors and editors, you will have a chance to rise to the top.

Naturally, Gu Chengyu was also heading towards this. Apart from military positions and titles, the most important official released was probably the magistrate.

"I knew you had money, so I'll ask the mansion to pay attention to you. However, you are not an official now, so I'm afraid you can only buy a yard in the south. How big do you want?"

Yin Kun looked at Gu Chengyu and said with a smile, he knew Gu Chengyu was rich!The dry stock of the restaurant, I am afraid that even if he is given [-]%, he can get a lot of money.He had already heard about Juxiang Building in Jingyuan Mansion!
"Brother, let's buy it! It's as big as your house!" Gu Chengyu actually thinks this is a bit small. If he becomes an official in the future, he will have to buy it again on North Street, so it's better to buy a smaller one. of.

"Your appetite is not small, what's the matter? You think my house is too small? You don't know, this is the north, where all the dignitaries and nobles live, so the honorable family can occupy the south. It's as big as half a street."

Yin Kun took a sip of tea, ordered some and Gu Chengyu smiled.

"It's not easy to buy a bigger house in the north. They are all occupied, and those with low official positions can't buy it even if they want to. If you can buy it, it's just a coincidence that they are about to sell it. However, if you It will be different if you can get the mansion bestowed by the imperial court."

Gu Chengyu didn't know that it was not easy to buy a house in the north.He didn't even dare to think about the mansion bestowed by the emperor, it must be a celebrity in front of the Holy Majesty, and it must be someone who has made meritorious service!Then he becomes an official in the future, or can he only live in the south?

"Then I'd better buy a bigger one! I guess I won't be able to buy a house to the north in the future!"

"The house at the back is vacated almost every year. What are you afraid of?" Yin Kun said meaningfully.

Gu Chengyu was a little strange, didn't you just say that it was not easy to buy?
Seeing Gu Chengyu's puzzled eyes, Yin Kun explained: "Every year there are officials who commit crimes, either accepting bribes, corrupting ink, or making other mistakes. This is how the house is vacated. A house like this, sometimes You can also meet it. However, it depends on whether you have the ability to live in it!"

Gu Chengyu wanted to ask again, but Yin Kun waved his hand, guessing that he was unwilling to talk further, so he had to shut up.

"Okay, I won't keep you for dinner today, you go back to the inn first! I'm afraid it's the second and third junior brothers, and someone will be sent to congratulate them!"

Gu Chengyu rushed to the inn in Yin's carriage, fearing that people from Wu's and He's houses had already arrived at the inn.

"Uncle, you are here. Your other two senior brothers have sent gifts to congratulate you, and Mingmo and the others have already received them."

Gu Wanqian just didn't go out today, and the stewards of the two families sent congratulatory gifts, and Gu Chengyu happened to be away. After all, Mingmo and the others were just followers, so Gu Wanqian came out to entertain them in person.

"Already left?" Gu Chengyu asked while walking towards the room.

"It's not a coincidence that I just left!"

"Since the congratulatory gift has been sent, before we leave the capital, we have to pay a visit! I have written a post, and you will send it today. I will not go when the restaurant opens tomorrow. I am going to attend the Luming Banquet .The day after tomorrow we will pay a visit at home, and then set off for home.”

"Yes!" Gu Wanqian replied, and followed Gu Chengyu into the room.

The next day was the Lu Ming Banquet, Gu Chengyu and the others packed up early, and when they saw that it was almost time, they happily went.

When Gu Chengyu and the others arrived, more than half of the people had already arrived, and they found their seats and sat down.

"Look, this is the Jie Yuan of this township examination!" One of the Juren said to the people around him.

"So young?" The person next to him asked in surprise.

"You guys don't know Gu Chengyu yet? He is famous far and wide now." Someone beside him also joined the topic.

"I heard about it some time ago, but I didn't expect to become Jieyuan. On the day when he competed with the three great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, I was also watching from the sidelines. It's really amazing!"

"That's right! Can you be admitted to Jieyuan if you are not good? You are only eleven this year! He is the youngest Juren in Dayan."

Gu Chengyu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He seemed to be a celebrity everywhere he went now, and everyone pointed at him.

"Junior Brother Gu! Congratulations to Junior Brother Gu for becoming Jie Yuan!" Min Feng came to Gu Chengyu at some point and congratulated Gu Chengyu.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" Gu Chengyu quickly stood up and returned the salute.

"Junior Brother Gu is really talented, and I sincerely admire it." Min Feng chatted with Gu Chengyu for a few words, and Huang Junheng came here.

At this time, Mr. Fu Yin just entered the table, and everyone became quiet.Then the seat teacher, room teacher and promotion officer all took their seats one after another.

During the banquet, the song "The Crying of the Deer" was played first, and then the song of "The Crying of the Deer" was read aloud.Then it is to pay homage to the seat teacher, room teacher and promotion officer.

Gu Chengyu is Xie Yuan, and it starts with him first.

The teacher is Fang Huai, a lecturer of the Imperial Academy, and Fang Huai and Gu Chengyu have met before.However, at that time the two did not have any conversation.

"When I met you before, I thought you were outstandingly talented. You have already been admitted to Juren at a young age. I'm afraid your future will be limitless!"

Then Fang Huai took a look at Gu Chengyu, smiled and said some words of encouragement, and gave Juren's identity certificate and 20 taels of water and land archway silver.

Fang Huai felt that Gu Chengyu, as a student from the North, would definitely have serious conflicts with the students from Jiangnan and the officials from Jiangnan in the future. What did it become.

It's a pity that the Holy Majesty's health is up and down, and he trusts that person very much, it's really hateful!
