Chapter three hundred and seventy-eight poor scholar in downtown
The fastest update to the latest chapter of Nongjiazi’s road to wealth in the imperial examination!
When it was time to get Shen, Gu Chengyu and the others went off. The time for officials to answer Mao was at the second quarter of Mao hour, and the afternoon was the time when Shen Zheng was off, which was four o'clock in the previous life. This was the time after the spring equinox.
The time of Mao before the Spring Equinox remains unchanged, and the time of the equinox is adjusted to the beginning of Shen Shi, which is half an hour early.
When Gu Chengyu arrived at the gate of the palace, Ming Yan was already waiting here with his carriage. Ye Zhiqiu hadn't arrived yet, so Gu Chengyu planned to wait for him to go with him.
Ye Zhiqiu's office was a bit far away from Gu Chengyu, so the two agreed to wait outside.
"Sir, there are cakes on the carriage." Seeing Gu Chengyu enter the carriage, Ming Yan remembered that the servants of the Yin Mansion often said that the adults in his family were always hungry after work, so there were always cakes on the carriage.
Gu Chengyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The amount of food Ming Yan brought at noon was quite large, and everyone was full. 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."
As the same saying goes, if you treat someone with a favor every day, it will be a rare treat. Of course, others will be grateful. If you invite someone every day, it will become a habit.
When the food is not good on a certain day, or if you don’t bring enough food on a certain day, you may have opinions.
Ming Yan quickly agreed. His elders have been in the Hanlin Academy for four days. Not to mention others, there are four people in the room. You should have figured out the nature of the others. So, as long as you know what you are doing, it will be fine.
"By the way, sir. In the past two days, I heard from the concierge that there are often people wandering 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, but he
It’s so weird to come here all the time!”
Gu Chengyu was also a little strange when he heard this. If he was looking for someone, he should ask the concierge directly. Why did he come to hang out instead of coming to the door? If it was the thief, even if he came to visit during the day, he couldn't be so blatant, right?
"You ask the concierge to pay more attention. If we encounter him again, we will stop him and ask him. But he looked at that person? Tell me in detail."
"It's said to be a man in his fifties, and he must be a poor man by his clothes. He brought a woman here before, but the woman hasn't come in the past two days, so the man came here alone to wander around."
Ming Yan didn't see anyone, he just heard what the concierge said.
Gu Chengyu also knew that he couldn't get anything out of it by asking like this, and he would have to see him to find out. So, he told Ming Yan to ask the concierge for details when he comes next time, and then he didn't take it to heart.
"Jin Yu! I'm late." Ye Zhiqiu hurried over and felt a little embarrassed when he saw Ming Yan already waiting.
His mother recently took some jobs from the Gu family's second aunt's grandma, which is not too hard on the eyes and the wages are high. She said she would buy him a carriage in a few days. He blushed every time he bumped into the Gu family's carriage, although Jin Yu didn't know how to do it.
mind.
"It's not too late, I just arrived." Gu Chengyu smiled at Ye Zhiqiu who got in the car.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the decoration inside Gu Chengyu's carriage and sighed inwardly. If his family wanted to buy something, they could only buy the simple one.
A horse in the Dayan Dynasty costs about twenty taels of silver. This is not even a good horse. Better BMWs cost different amounts of money. Those good horses can be sold for a hundred taels of silver!
So, Ye Zhiqiuchou! Including the carriage, a carriage costs at least twenty-three taels. These are all bought at the cheapest price. His mother has already asked someone to ask. Besides, his family bought a carriage.
, who will catch it! You can’t buy a driver for this, right?
If he drives the carriage himself, where will he put the carriage after the daily meal? These are all problems.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised by Ye Zhiqiu's absent-mindedness. Could it be that there was a problem with his appointment in the Hanlin Academy? He had only been here a few days, so it shouldn't be possible, right? Even he was assigned some insignificant tasks, and he would doze off easily every day.
"Senior Brother Ye, what's the difficulty?" Gu Chengyu just asked tentatively. After all, if it's a matter of the Hanlin Academy, some tasks are classified and no one can disclose it.
"No, I just thought that if I bought a carriage at home, there would be no one to drive it!" Ye Zhiqiu and Gu Chengyu have known each other for many years, so they didn't hide it.
Gu Chengyu thought he was worried about something, but it turned out to be something like this. He knew that Ye Zhiqiu rode his carriage every day, and he felt a little sorry. But everyone knew the situation of the Ye family. Even if they spent all the money in the family to buy a carriage, they would not be able to find it.
Get someone to chase him!
Don't even think about buying a coachman. You need money to buy it. Where can you live in it? The Ye family still rents a small courtyard with only three rooms. There is no place to live. They have to pay monthly payments, which is really not worth the gain.
Besides, Ye's mother is a widow, so the coachman can't live on the street after buying her, right? Ye Zhiqiu has to work during the day, so the coachman certainly can't live with Ye's mother under the same roof, just two people. Wouldn't that invite gossip?
This was the truth. Gu Chengyu wanted to persuade, but he had to consider his words and tone. Having come to this ancient time, he had seen a lot of people's arrogance, but don't say anything to make Ye Zhiqiu lose face.
"If you ask me, it's better to wait. Anyway, I have to go back every day. It's convenient to wait for you. It's not too late to buy it in the future! This problem may be solved by then, and you don't need to worry."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and said, "That's all I can do. I'll have to trouble you for the next few days."
Gu Chengyu quickly promised again and again that it would not be troublesome, and at the same time sighed in his heart. He had long known that Ye Zhiqiu was sensitive, and it was because of his temper that he did not want to have a close relationship with him before.
But things are unpredictable. In the end, we became classmates and friends, and now we are in the same year again. Therefore, the fate between 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 had more than one carriage, Ye Zhiqiu would definitely not agree to using one alone to pick up and drop off Ye Zhiqiu.
Gu Chengyu's carriage passed by the busy market. Although it was already dinner time, the market was still bustling with activity.
"Go away, you still want to stay in an inn when you have no money? Do you think this is your place? You still want to stay in an inn two days short of the rent. It's really unlucky. Look at how poor you are. You are a family.
He is just a poor man, but he still dreams of becoming 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 the shopkeeper of an inn drove a man and a woman who looked like a scholar outside the inn, and also threw several bags outside, which may have been the scholar's luggage.
One of the bundles was scattered, and inside were a few shabby books, and 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. After seeing that it was not damaged, he breathed a sigh of relief.
