"The young general has sent someone to ask, and he said he hasn't woken up yet! You don't know that Mr. Ye fainted just a few steps out of the examination room. The young general asked someone to hire a doctor for Mr. Ye.
He is said to be fine. As for the second uncle, he seems to be fine, but a little weak."
Ming Yan briefly said a few words about what happened yesterday, then took out the food from the food box and set out the bowls and chopsticks for Gu Chengyu.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he had already hired a doctor, thinking it would be no big deal. Ye Zhiqiu was already weak and refused to exercise with him. If he hadn't often taken him to go hiking and outing together, Ye Zhiqiu would have definitely passed the exam this time.
A serious illness.
Every year during the exam period, the medical center is the busiest time. Many candidates hold on to the exam and delay seeking medical advice after they come out. There are also those who cannot hold on and are taken out of the exam room midway. Some even die with high fever.
It is also common for people to refuse to go out and become sick when they come back.
The exam papers for the first two games have been reviewed for a long time, and it will take only a few days to get the results. He is very confident about this examination. Not to mention the first place, the top ten should be very safe.
Since there was nothing to do today, and Sun Xian and the others wanted to continue to recuperate, he was going to go to the restaurant to inspect and check the restaurant's account books.
Gu Chengyu arrived at the restaurant in a carriage and found that the business of the restaurant was extremely prosperous. During this period of time, due to exams, many candidates and their families were waiting in the capital for the results to be released. Whether they were candidates, businessmen, or local officials and their families, they all liked to come to his restaurant.
.
The restaurant's dishes are novel and new dishes will be launched every once in a while.
Gu Chengyu observed outside the restaurant for a while, but because the front hall was too busy, he did not go in, but went into the backyard of the restaurant.
"Sir, are these the restaurant's account books for one month? Please take a look at them." Yu Banzi placed the account books in front of Gu Chengyu.
Shopkeeper Niu of the restaurant was busy in the front hall, so Yu Pangzi often went to the restaurant to help. Gu Chengyu opened the account book and checked it carefully and found that there was nothing wrong. The account books of the restaurant were usually checked by Gu Wanqian before sending them to the restaurant.
Go to his house. Today Gu Chengyu just got excited and suddenly came to check.
After coming out of the restaurant, Gu Chengyu planned to go to Sun's house to see if Sun Xian had woken up. Since it was not far away, he didn't take a carriage.
"Chengyu! Here, come here!" After walking south for a while, Gu Chengyu heard someone calling him, and looked up to the right. Isn't this Zhu Pang?
"Chengyu! Come up quickly!" Gu Chengyu discovered that Zhu Pang was standing on the second floor of a brothel, leaning on the railing and waving to him.
Next to him was Zheng Lun, and Gu Chengyu was very surprised. Zheng Lun had just finished the exam yesterday, so why did he recover today? Zhu Peng himself was a man of debauchery, but Zheng Lun could not be more serious, how could he possibly
Will he go to a brothel?
Gu Chengyu didn't want to take care of him. He was so shameless. He went to a brothel in broad daylight and screamed loudly. He was as shameless as a city wall.
"Hey? Let me tell you! This is Gu Chengyu from the Imperial College, who took the provincial examination two years ago and took the Yuan Dynasty examination. I said that I know people with outstanding talents and learning, but you still don't believe me. Did you see it this time? Zheng Lun and the man next to me
Gu Chengyu is my good friend."
Zhu Pang turned around and shouted behind him. But Zheng Lun beside him looked at Gu Chengyu with a look of helplessness on his face.
Gu Chengyu took a look at the plaque on this brothel, which was called Tianxiang Pavilion. This is the largest brothel in the capital. Even though it is not as noisy during the day as at night, there are many people in the brothel at this time.
Gu Chengyu asked with his eyes what was going on. He saw Zheng Lun pointing at Zhu Pang and then shaking his head. At this time, bursts of noisy sounds came from the second floor.
"In the final analysis, is Gu Jiyuan's literary talent more outstanding, or is it your Jiangnan student Min Feng who is more outstanding?" Zhu Pang asked disdainfully.
Gu Chengyu knew at a glance that it was a competition for literary talents, and he was not interested in this. So, he gestured to Zheng Lun, and planned to lift his legs and leave. This was a brothel, and he didn't want people to mistakenly think that he liked to have fun.
The results of the general examination have not come out yet, so there is no need for them to compete here. If anyone among them fails the exam, or does not do satisfactorily, is it really okay to be so rampant before then?
"Gu Jieyuan, why don't you come up and have a drink? It just so happens that everyone is talking about holding a poetry meeting. I think it's better to choose a date. It's also rare to meet Gu Jieyuan. You can't invite him on weekdays. It also gives everyone a chance to read Gu Jieyuan's poems.
A masterpiece."
Min Feng leaned against the railing and looked down at Gu Chengyu. Huang Junheng also came over and advised Gu Chengyu.
"Chengyu! What are you afraid of? Come up quickly." Zhu Pang was a little dissatisfied, but still called Gu Chengyu to go up to the second floor.
Only then did Gu Chengyu notice that Zhu Pang seemed to have drank a little too much.
In fact, it was very normal for the ancients to claim to be romantic, and to recite poems and compose poems in brothels. Some would also invite girls from brothels to join in the fun at poetry gatherings. This was considered a kind of elegant taste, and this custom was particularly prevalent in the capital.
Among them, there are several top brothels, each with its own merits, highly praised by students, and they have become a generation of great masters.
Zheng Lun supported Zhu Pang and said to Min Feng, "Chengyu is still young. Isn't it inappropriate to come up?"
Unexpectedly, when Min Feng said this, the people behind burst into laughter. Suddenly, several people rushed over to the railing. Someone smiled at Gu Chengyu and said, "Isn't Gu Jieyuan still a boy? At fourteen years old, no.
It’s too small.”
The corners of Gu Chengyu's eyes twitched. After coming to a brothel, he completely abandoned his reputation as a scholar and became such a vulgar person? He really could say anything.
Gu Chengyu was a little hesitant. If he left just like that, those people wouldn't know how to spread the word! They might even say that he was scared. He glanced at Zhu Pang and Zheng Lun, and his face sank a little.
"Ouch! Is this Master Gu? I am Hua Mama from Tianxiang Pavilion. The master upstairs asked me to come and talk to Master Gu!" After a while, a madam in red and green stood at the door and saluted Gu Chengyu.
.
There were already several girls in Tianxiang Pavilion covering their faces with fans, touching their heads to each other, and whispering.
Since I came to invite you, it would be inappropriate for him to walk away.
"Young Master really wants to go?"
Ming Mo was a little dumbfounded when he saw that Gu Chengyu was really going to the brothel. His son usually didn't think much about such romantic affairs, so why did he go to the brothel today?
Ming Mo glanced at the girls in the hall below, and his ears turned red with shame. These girls were dressed differently from ordinary women, and he didn't even notice.
Gu Chengyu nodded and refused to go in. The group of people thought he was a coward, and he was riding a tiger with difficulty.
Now that he had decided to enter a brothel, Gu Chengyu had no choice but to smile at the madam and said, "I'll help you, mom, to show you the way."
Min Feng raised his eyebrows. Today was a rare opportunity. He had always wanted to compete with Gu Chengyu in poetry again. He lost to Gu Chengyu in Qunying Building last time. After that, he had been working hard on poetry and planned to compete in poetry in the future.
To avenge previous shame.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chengyu did not participate in the poetry meeting, which was really a punch in the face and very depressing.
