This is the official document everyone is holding.
This paper certificate is naturally prepared by the candidates' relatives and friends in Beijing before the candidates arrive in Beijing.
Only with a certificate issued by the metropolitan government and confirmed by the examinee in person can the examinee be taken away.
This is also beneficial to candidates who don’t have the conditions at home. Land is very expensive in the capital. Even in a place like the Lizhou Guild Hall, it is a bit nervous to have a room for one person. If there are fewer people, you can naturally live in a single room, and you can have peace of mind.
Preparing for exams.
Candidates who have nowhere to go are free of charge here. The food they eat may not be to their liking, but they are guaranteed three meals a day.
After hearing this, Yu Qing nodded slightly and finally understood that it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that he didn't even know this, Xu Fei tried to ask: "Brother Shiheng, don't you have any relatives in the capital?"
Yu Qing shook his head. The truth is hard to tell. From Ashheng's point of view, there is a place in the capital, namely Ashheng's future father-in-law's family. However, that future father-in-law's family didn't know that Ashheng was coming to Beijing to take the exam this year.
In this capital, Ashheng only gave him one address, and he had to rely on himself for the rest.
Xu Fei looked at him with strange eyes. Now was not the time when they first met, he would still think that this poor man would sympathize with him. After seeing Yu Qing's skills, he knew that he was wrong. He was so young and capable.
How can a person reach the martial arts realm without certain cultivation resources to support him? Cultivation resources require money, and his family must be richer than others.
Chong'er's eyes were full of sympathy.
"Xu Fei!" the clerk behind the desk shouted, and beside him there was an old man dressed as a servant nodding in greeting.
Hearing the shouting, Xu Fei went over immediately.
After completing the formalities, Xu Fei and Chong'er came over again to say goodbye to Yu Qing, and the old servant also came with them.
Yu Qing noticed that he was an old servant who was well-dressed and well-dressed. It seemed that the owner behind him did have some money. He immediately asked with a smile: "Has someone come to pick you up from your uncle's house?"
Xu Fei nodded. When the other person mentioned his uncle, he knew what it meant.
The IOU has been written and he has no intention of not paying it back. The big exam is coming soon. If someone goes to the government for not paying back the money, it will cause big trouble. The court will not admit people with poor credit.
Therefore, the reference qualification is revoked.
Although he estimated that the other party would not be like this, thinking of this, he still said to the old servant: "Uncle Wei, I needed money for some things on the way. I borrowed four thousand taels of silver from Brother Shiheng. Do you have any money to advance first?"
Take a moment and I’ll give it to you when I get back.”
"Four thousand taels?" The old servant was obviously a little surprised. He couldn't figure out what he did on the road to spend so much money. He immediately shook his head and said: "Young Master Xu is joking. This is not a small amount of money. How can I have so much money on me? It's better like this
, go back and tell your uncle first, and ask him to come and pick it up another day, or we can deliver it to your door another day."
Xu Fei looked at Yu Qing hesitantly, wondering if he could agree.
Yu Qing looked magnanimous and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. You can give it to me when you have time."
"Then..." Xu Fei said and looked at the club again, "See you another day?"
Yu Qing cupped his hands and said, "I won't give it away."
Xu Fei cupped his hands, then turned around and left.
In fact, he was a little reluctant to associate with Yu Qing anymore. He had some leverage, and Yu Qing's ruthlessness made him a little scared.
He still remembered that he had promised to give insects to the other party. It was forced by the situation at that time, but the other party seemed unwilling to accept it. He was too happy not to mention it and pretended to have forgotten it.
The old servant bowed slightly to greet Yu Qing, took two steps back and turned around.
"Master Shiheng, take care of yourself!" Chong'er bowed seriously before turning around and walking away.
As soon as they left, Yu Qing covered his face with a curtain handkerchief again, and occasionally coughed dryly, as if he was covering his mouth and nose...
It was not until almost evening that all the candidates who were supposed to leave were gone, and there were only about twenty candidates left.
There were more than two hundred candidates, but less than one-tenth was left. It was obvious that these twenty candidates were all children of poor families. Yu Qing finally realized that saying, in this world, people who have the conditions to study well
Most families are fine.
It was only then that the staff of the Liezhou Association made arrangements for the twenty or so candidates who had been waiting for almost half a day.
Check-in is arranged, the room supply is ample, you can choose as you like.
Three meals are provided, but you must report in advance. If you don't report, you can eat it out to avoid overcooking and wasting it.
Everyone was also given a document with an official seal that could prove the identity of the candidates, so as not to encounter any trouble in an unfamiliar place. If they produced this document in case of trouble, no one in the capital would dare to challenge them during this period.
Acting recklessly.
After walking around his room and memorizing its location, Yu Qing dropped the packages he bought on the way and left.
Dinner has not been prepared, and I am tired of eating all the big pot meals. Now that I have enough money, I am ready to go out to eat well, and eat as much as I want.
Documents were shown at the door of the club and registration was done before permission was given to go out.
After walking out of the guild hall, he stood outside the gate, watching the lights of the capital come on. He rubbed his hands against the oncoming bustling atmosphere, and then strode in.
It didn't matter that he was unfamiliar with the place. He stood on the street and thought about it for a while, then he came up with an idea. He asked about people he met, and then went straight to the nearest carriage house.
I rented a carriage and hired a driver who was familiar with the capital. I didn't even have to ask for directions. I could go wherever I wanted in the capital without even moving my feet.
A silver nugget was rewarded to the coachman, which street he reached, which street he turned left on, which street he turned right on, which street he was about to reach, what was delicious on this street, which brothel had beautiful girls, and which bridge was over there?
Someone drowned yesterday, and the coachman made all the points clear. There is no such thing as unfamiliarity with the place. Getting rich is that simple.
In order to make it easier to view the scene outside the car, I bought a chair and moved it into the car on the way. The door curtains and curtains were completely opened, so I could see straight ahead, left and right.
When I see something I want to eat, I point my finger out the car window and say, "Buy, two portions!"
The driver stopped the car, took the money, ran errands, and bought two copies, one for you and one for me.
The two of them ate and talked together.
Some were eaten and some were taken. The driver was naturally happy, but in his heart he was quite disdainful of Yu Qing's nouveau riche virtues. He could tell at a glance that he was someone who had just gotten rich...
Outside a slightly secluded alley, which is considered a crossroads, there is a stall selling mutton noodles on the roadside at the corner.
There are two lanterns, two tables for guests to sit on, and the busy stall owners next to the stove are the grandfather and grandson.
The carriage stopped next to the noodle stall. Yu Qing stuck his head out of the window and said, "Noodles must be from a time-honored brand to be delicious. Is it a time-honored brand?"
The old man who was stirring the noodles beside the steaming pot said loudly: "Xiao Lao'er, this stall has been here for five or six years. The guest said it is a time-honored brand, but it's okay to say otherwise. You have a foreign accent, and the local flavor may not be to your liking, okay?
It doesn't matter if you eat the little old man's words, it will only count if you eat them."
Yu Qing smiled and said: "It's been five or six years, has the stall always been here?"
The old man said: "I haven't moved my nest."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qing said to the driver: "Try it."
So the carriage pulled over and the coachman sat with him at a noodle stall chatting...
After finishing a bowl of noodles slowly, Yu Qing got on the carriage again and took a deep look at the brightly lit wealthy mansion deep in the alley.
That was the address Ashheng gave him to go to Beijing, Ashheng's future father-in-law's home, Zhong Mansion!
The carriage swayed forward, and Yu Qing lowered the door curtains and curtains this time and fell into deep thought.
In just one bowl of noodles, he had already gotten a rough outline of the situation in the Zhong Mansion from the mouth of the old man at the noodle stall.
It's not that he is careful, but it's been so many years since the incident, and even Ashheng himself has never been in contact with him. Even Ashheng himself doesn't know the current situation of the Zhong family. He only said that the Zhong family has now become a wealthy businessman. What can he do?
Coming to the door rashly? He must first feel out the situation.
The Zhong family is not considered to be the top wealthy businessmen in this capital city, it can be considered a third-rate businessman, but it is still extraordinary.
It should be noted that there are many wealthy families in the capital, and even the third-rate wealthy businessmen in the capital have astonishing financial resources.
Mr. Zhong has no sons in his family, only two daughters, neither of whom are married. The key is that the old man at the noodle stall has not heard of any engagement between Mr. Zhong’s two daughters.
Outsiders didn't know that the Zhong family's daughter had been engaged to someone else. He didn't know whether the Zhong family had not announced it or deliberately concealed it. Yu Qing suddenly felt worried about Ash Heng.
Of course, these are secondary. The Ashheng family also made him feel that something was not right.
According to the family history of Mr. Zhong told by the old man at the noodle stall, when Ashiheng's family was demoted from Beijing, Mr. Zhong did not have the financial resources of today and seemed to have only one shop. The problem lies in this. At that time, Ajiezhang
What is his identity? A powerful doctor in Yubu!
At that time, Zhong Yuanwai probably didn't even have the qualifications to curry favor with Ajiezhang, but Ajiezhang actually let his son get engaged to the daughter of such a small businessman. What the hell?
It’s not that he is too snobbish and thinks too much, but it’s normal if he is well matched, and if the gap is too great, it will make people feel that something is wrong.
He considered whether to visit at night, but Mr. Zhong seemed to have a lot of daily entertainment. According to the old man at the noodle stall, he had not returned home since he left in the morning. In addition, he also wanted to know more about the Zhong family.
We are not in a hurry to show up. After all, an old stall owner’s understanding of the situation is relatively superficial.
If the Zhong family's situation is more complicated, forget it. There is no need to run to the Zhong family. He can still find a way to deal with the trial without borrowing others' help. What I told Ashheng before is that this won't work and that won't work.
, in fact, I just wanted to shirk it. Now that it’s already here, it’s another matter.
Besides, he didn't want to cause trouble to Ashiheng. If he didn't show up at the Zhong family's door, Ashiheng wouldn't have to explain anything when he showed up again.
And if you want to know more about the situation of the Zhong family, you can tell it to Ashheng after you return...
The old man at the noodle stall was kneading the dough in his hands and turning the dough over, and suddenly said: "Xiao Wu, follow up and take a look."
The young man cleaning the table immediately put down what he was doing, took off his apron, and quickly chased in the direction where the carriage disappeared...
