"I went to inquire about it. There is indeed a man named Min Feng, one of the three great talents in the south of the Yangtze River! He competed with several talents in poetry yesterday, but he didn't get the first place. I may go again today.
, there are many people who know about this matter, and you will find out if you go and ask!”
Brother Xing did not dare to look at the figure behind the screen. He only lowered his head and looked at his toes, waiting with bated breath for the question from the other side.
"What?" Yao Mengxian was very surprised, and her voice was sharp for a moment. She clutched the handkerchief tightly, feeling confused. Why was this thing different from what she had in her dream? Impossible! What happened before?
What's the explanation? Is it all a coincidence?
Lian Xin and Qing Dai looked at each other when they saw this. The girl always did something that was puzzling to them recently. They had never heard of who this Min Feng was before, but the girl knew it. They lived with the girl day and night, and it was impossible for the girl to come into contact with him.
Foreign man.
But not only did the girl know this person's name, she seemed surprised that he was not number one.
Yao Mengxian forced herself to calm down. She thought about it for a while. Did she lose to Fu Ming's nephew Fu Yanshan? But didn't Fu Yanshan live in the capital? How could he go to Qunying Tower? She clearly remembered this day in her dream.
Could it be that she remembered it wrong?
The whole capital knows the rules of Qunying Tower. If you don't win the first place, you have not stayed in the inn. No wonder Brother Xing said that Min Feng still wants to challenge today.
She suddenly remembered the first place, who was the first place? Then Yao Mengxian asked eagerly: "Who is the first place?"
"Back to the girl! It is said that he is a student named Gu Chengyu. I have already inquired about it. He is from Jingyuan Prefecture and came to the capital to take the provincial examination!" Brother Xing and his father are working as a steward in the outer courtyard, and my mother is watching at the Chuihua Gate.
Menzi.
He is no longer young this year, and I can’t afford to live in the house. Although his sister has become the second-class girl next to the eldest daughter-in-law, alas! It’s okay not to say it!
His mother said, if you win the favor of the third girl, it would be better than being an ordinary servant in the outer courtyard, right? Besides, his sister said when she came back that the girl's mind has become clearer since the last time she fell into the water, so it's not as good as
Just like what his mother said, he had to fight with the third girl, since he had nowhere else to go.
"Then have you found out about his origins?" Yao Mengxian's soft voice interrupted Brother Xing's inner plan.
"I heard that Gu Chengyu is only eleven years old now. He is exactly the person who was praised by the Holy One three years ago. I also heard that he is Xiao Sanyuan of Jingyuan Prefecture!"
Yao Mengxian was extremely shocked at this moment. She had never heard of Gu Chengyu.
Three years ago, she had only stayed indoors doing embroidery and practicing calligraphy, and had not heard anything going on outside the window. Regarding this matter, it seemed that she only heard her father mention it when saying hello, and she didn't pay attention to it. After all, her daughter
I will never be interested in what happens in the court.
Then why is there no such person in the dream? What happened three years ago did not happen. Or was she too dull before, so she didn't pay attention to it?
Her mind is very confused now and she needs to sort it out.
"Then you go there more recently and explore Gu Chengyu and Min Feng. If you have anything special, come and tell me!"
Yao Mengxian returned to the inner room and sent Lian Xin and Qing Dai out. She wanted to be alone for a while.
Sitting on the rose chair, Yao Mengxian recalled the plot of the dream. It has been more than a month, and the little things that happened in the house are the same as what happened in the dream, but in this matter they are different. Is it a coincidence or a coincidence?
variable?
She had to look again, something small was going to happen tomorrow. She looked at the old furnishings in the room, opened the small drawer under the dressing box, and saw a few scattered pieces of jewelry inside.
The jewelry is all old and there are only a few fashionable pieces.
Yao Mengxian didn't go out on weekdays. She only rarely went to go to Changchun or go back to her maternal grandfather's house, so she relied on these few pieces of jewelry to hold up the scene. When she opened the cabinet next to her where she kept clothes, she found that there weren't many clothes inside, not to mention.
She sneered, luckily she was still the daughter of the eldest daughter of the grand Duke's palace, so no one would believe her in her life. She was afraid that people in the outside world would spread the word that she was a sick child and could not even leave the house.
Since they are unkind, don't blame her for being unjust. Tomorrow is a good time, not only to verify whether the dream is true, but also to get some benefits.
Gu Chengyu took Sun Xian and the others around the capital. After a visit, they couldn't just stay locked in the room and read, right?
"Chengyu! If you have such energy, you might as well read in the inn!" Ye Zhiqiu is not a person who likes to go out. If nothing happens, he can stay in the house for a month.
Gu Chengyu thinks this is the otaku in ancient times!
"Look at how weak your body is. We have to stay in the Gongyuan for nine days and six nights in the provincial examination. If you don't come out to stretch your body and bones, how can you survive? How can you succeed just by reading and not having a good body? I took part before
Aren't all the seniors who were taking the exam, including those in poor health, carried out?"
Gu Chengyu looked at Ye Zhiqiu's body and was a little worried. Ye Zhiqiu's body has not recovered yet. It seems that he is a little pale again today. Could it be that he is acclimatized? This is not possible! If his body is not well maintained, how can he participate?
Autumn?
"How can I be so weak? I just need to rest for a few more days and it will be fine. Isn't it because of the boat ride?" Ye Zhiqiu vomited when he thought of the boat ride before. Fortunately, Gu Chengyu had brought the pills with him, otherwise he would be at this moment
I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the hospital.
"I see that you don't have a good appetite now, so you should go see the doctor!" Gu Chengyu took a closer look at Ye Zhiqiu's face, and found that his face was sallow and his eye sockets were sunken, making him look listless.
"Yes! Junior Brother Ye, we'd better accompany you to have a look! Your face doesn't look good, so it's better to take a look to reassure yourself. When you go out, you must be careful about your health. Besides, the exam is coming soon, so take care of your health as soon as possible.
Okay, so as not to affect your performance!"
By the time Gu Chengyu and the others returned to the inn, it was already getting late, and Ye Zhiqiu had indeed returned with a few bags of medicine. Just as Gu Chengyu said, he was acclimatized.
"Sir! We walked around a few streets today, and also went to Yahang. We looked at four shops. They were all in good locations, but they were all a bit more expensive!" Ming Mo thought of the prices offered by the owners, and felt that they were robbing money.
Oh! That money is enough to buy two houses in Fucheng.
"Oh? Tell me!" Of course Gu Chengyu knew that these shops were not cheap, but in the past three years, he had earned a lot of money, so he could still afford to buy two shops.
"There is one store located in the southwest. The shop does not have two floors, and the asking price is 1,800 taels. There are two others, one is in the west, it is also two floors, but this one is smaller, and it only has a small yard. It is better than the previous one.
That one is much smaller, and they even charge another two thousand two hundred taels!"
After hearing this, Gu Chengyu felt that it was normal. Different locations would naturally have different prices. He was not impressed by the southwest restaurant as soon as he heard about it. That restaurant faced the South District and his restaurant was positioned as a high-end restaurant, so he would not consider this restaurant.
"There is another one on North Street. The location is quite good. It has a large courtyard on the upper and lower floors. There are several rooms in the backyard, and there are piles of sundries. It is more than enough to accommodate a few people. But the price is also expensive. It costs two.
One thousand eight hundred taels!”
Gu Chengyu was very attracted to the last one. North Street was positioned for high-end people, but there were many shops in Beijing. He planned to choose carefully and there was no need to rush.
