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

Chapter 541

When it was time to get Shen, Gu Chengyu and the others had lost their value.The time when officials should respond to Mao is the second quarter of Mao time, and the next noon is Shen Zhengsan value, which is the four o'clock in the previous life, which is the hour after the vernal equinox.

The hour of Yingmao before the vernal equinox remains unchanged, and the hour of Sanshi is adjusted to the beginning of Shenshi, which is half an hour earlier.

When Gu Chengyu arrived at the gate of the palace, Mingyan was already waiting here with a carriage.Ye Zhiqiu hasn't arrived yet, Gu Chengyu plans to wait for him to go with him.

Ye Zhiqiu's office is a little far away from Gu Chengyu, so the two made an appointment to wait outside.

"My lord, there are pastries on the carriage." Seeing Gu Chengyu entering the carriage, Ming Yan remembered that the servants of Yin's mansion often said that his adults were always hungry after finishing their duties, so there were always pastries on the carriage.

Gu Chengyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Mingyan delivered a lot of food at noon, and everyone was fed up. The plates were piled high, but Gu Chengyu didn't eat much, and it all went into the stomachs of his colleagues.

"Tell Mama Liang not to prepare so much next time, it's not good to get used to it."

It's still the same sentence, it's a rare treat for Shengmi to fight against Michou, and others are of course grateful. If you invite him every day, it will become a habit.

When the dishes are not good on a certain day, or if you don’t bring enough food on a certain day, there may be opinions.

Ming Yan quickly agreed, his lord has been in the Hanlin Academy for four days, not to mention others, there are only four people in one room, his lord should have already figured out the nature of other people.Therefore, as long as the adults know what to do.

"By the way, my lord. I heard from the concierge in the past two days that people often hang around in front of the house. The concierge wanted to go up and ask, but the man left in a hurry without saying who it was or who he was looking for. It's really weird to come around all the time!"

Gu Chengyu was also a little strange when he heard the words. If he was looking for someone, he should ask the concierge directly. What's the matter with wandering around instead of coming to the door?If it was the thief, even if he came to step on the spot during the day, he couldn't be so blatant, right?
"You tell the concierge to pay more attention. If you encounter it again, stop him and ask him. But did you look at that person? Tell me in detail."

"It is said to be a man in his fifties, and he looks like a poor man in his clothes. He brought a woman here before, but the woman hasn't come these two days, so the man came here alone."

Mingyan didn't see anyone either, and this is what the concierge said.

Gu Chengyu also knew that if he asked this question, he wouldn't be able to find anything, and he had to meet him to find out.So, I told Mingyan to ask the concierge to ask me about it next time I came, so I didn't take it to heart.

"Jinyu! I'm late." Ye Zhiqiu hurried over, and felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Ming Yan was already waiting.

His mother has recently taken on some work from the second aunt of the Gu family. It doesn't take too much effort, and the wages are high.He said he would buy him a carriage in a few days, and he would blush all the time rubbing against the Gu family's carriage, although Jinyu didn't mind.

"It's not too late, I just arrived too." Gu Chengyu said with a smile to Ye Zhiqiu who got into the car.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the decorations in Gu Chengyu's carriage and sighed in his heart, if his family bought it, they could only buy the simple ones.

A horse in Dayan Dynasty costs about 20 taels of silver. This is not a good horse. The money of better BMWs varies. Those good horses can be sold for 100 taels of silver!
So, Ye Zhiqiu is sad!Including the carriage, a carriage will cost at least 23 taels, which are all bought at the cheapest price, and his mother has already asked someone to ask.Besides, his family bought a carriage, who will drive it!You can't buy a coachman for this, can you?

If he drives the carriage by himself, where will the carriage be placed after the daily appointment?These are all problems.

Gu Chengyu is a little strange about Ye Zhiqiu's absent-mindedness. Could it be that he has a problem in the Imperial Academy?It's only been a few days, shouldn't it be possible?Even he was given some unimportant work, and he almost dozed off easily every day.

"Senior Brother Ye, what's the embarrassment?" Gu Chengyu only asked tentatively. After all, if it's a matter of the Imperial Academy, some tasks are encrypted and no one can disclose it.

"No, I'm just thinking that if I buy a carriage at home, no one will drive it!" Ye Zhiqiu and Gu Chengyu have known each other for many years, so they don't hide it.

Gu Chengyu thought he was worrying about something, so it turned out to be something like this.He knew that Ye Zhiqiu rode in his carriage every day, so he felt a little sorry.But everyone knows the situation of the Ye family, even if they buy a carriage with all the money in the family, there will be no one to drive him away!
Don't even think about buying a coachman, the buyer will ask for money, where will you live if you buy it?The Ye family is still renting a small courtyard, with only three rooms, and no place to live at all.I have to pay monthly money, which is really not worth the candle.

Besides, Mother Ye is a widow, so the coachman can't live on the street after buying it, right?Ye Zhiqiu had to go to work during the day, the coachman definitely couldn't live under the same roof as Ye's mother, just two of them, wouldn't that cause gossip?
The fact is so, Gu Chengyu wants to persuade, but has to choose the words and tone.Coming to this ancient time, he can see a lot of the arrogance of scholars, but don't say anything to make Ye Zhiqiu lose face.

"If you want me to say, I'd better wait. Anyway, I have to go back every day. It's also convenient to wait for you. It's not too late to buy it in the future! At that time, this problem may be solved easily, and you don't need to worry about it."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled wryly: "That's the only way to go, I will trouble you for the next few days."

Gu Chengyu hurriedly reassured again and again that he would not be troublesome, and at the same time he sighed in his heart.He already knew that Ye Zhiqiu was sensitive, and because of his temperament before, he didn't want to have a close relationship.

But the world is unpredictable, and in the end they became classmates and friends, and now it's the same year again.Therefore, the fate of people is so strange.

In fact, picking up and dropping off Ye Zhiqiu every day was delayed for less than half an hour.Although the Gu family has more than one carriage, they can use one to transport Ye Zhiqiu alone, Ye Zhiqiu will definitely not agree.

Gu Chengyu and his carriage passed through the busy market. Although it was already time for dinner, the market was still very lively.

"Go away, you want to stay in the inn without any money? Do you think this is your land? You still want to stay here after two days of rent. It's unlucky. Look at how poor you are, the whole family He's just a poor guy who still dreams of being a high official."

Gu Chengyu and the others suddenly heard a curse. Gu Chengyu opened the curtain and looked to the left.

It was discovered that it was the shopkeeper of an inn. He drove a man and a woman who looked like a scholar out of the inn, and threw several bags outside, which might be the scholar's luggage.

One of the bundles was scattered, and inside were a few old books, even the pen and ink were scattered outside, stained with dust.

The scholar didn't have time to argue, so he quickly picked up the book on the ground, and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that it was not damaged.
