Chapter 723: Champion Building
Gong Yu has a playmate who relieves boredom all the way, and Gong Jian tries his best to mediate himself and adapt to this difficult journey, so in the next journey, the two brothers of the Gong family act separately, but they are also happy.
A few days later, the convoy finally arrived in the provincial capital, and a team of people came to the provincial capital's car dealership. Everyone said hello to each other, and after Gong Yu's friends reluctantly parted, they carried their luggage and stood behind Gong Jian again, and discussed with Gong Jian: "Big brother, which inn are we going to find to stay?"
It is said that there was once a student who fell ill in the inn during the examination in the provincial capital, and thanks to the enthusiastic care of the shopkeeper, he was able to recover from the illness and have taken the exam. After that, this student was even more smooth sailing, and finally won the first place. Later, the champion returned to this inn and personally inscribed the plaque of the champion building to the inn. Since then, those students who participated in the imperial examination, for a good omen, will strive to live in the champion building.
Not to mention that this champion building is the largest inn in the provincial capital, but after all, it is impossible to accommodate all the students who come to the provincial city for the exam, so the house price of this champion building is getting higher and higher.
And Gong Yu is also along the way, listening to his friends mention the place of Zhuangyuan Building, he thinks that the name of this inn is good, there is such a name, probably all students, if possible, will go to live in Zhuangyuan Building, looking forward to their good results in the imperial examination.
But listening to his question, Gong Jian shook his head gently, although the champion building was good, it did not meet Gong Jian's expectations. He took Gong Yu in another direction, talking to his brother as he went.
"This champion building is the best, but after all, the staff is mixed, and most of those students will live in the champion building. We usually go out and see a bunch of students, and when we do, we have to socialize with them, isn't it a waste of my time?"
Let his eldest brother analyze it, Gong Yu feels very reasonable. His eldest brother is not a scholar in the traditional sense, he usually likes to be vassal, and some literati drink tea and discuss scriptures, talk about poetry, and drop the book bag, these things are not what the eldest brother is willing to do.
The reason why the eldest brother participated in the imperial examination was just to increase his capital to marry Miss Tian. I think that there is no common language with the eldest brother with those students who want to get ahead.
Besides, everyone is here to participate in the imperial examination, who knows if any of these students have a black heart and bad eyes, in case they accidentally offend those people, who knows, will someone do a black hand to their brothers. His eldest brother and him are in the provincial capital, but they are not familiar with the place, so it is better to stay away from them.
Thinking of this, Gong Yu hurriedly agreed beside him: "Big brother is also reasonable, so where can we go to complain?"
Gong Yu also read some scripts, and in the last few days of the journey, there were also many new passengers in the team. A few of them are students from poor families, and they came to the provincial capital this time to participate in the examination.
However, the family background of those people is not very good, and Gong Yu will occasionally chat with those people, knowing that those people have arrived in the provincial capital
After that, they had already figured out where to stay, and they planned to live in a temple far from the city, where they could study quietly and undisturbed, and at a very low cost.
Hearing that his eldest brother vetoed his plan to go to the Zhuangyuan Building, Gong Yu unconsciously remembered what those students had said, and he was a little suspicious in his heart, could it be that the eldest brother also planned to go to the temple outside the city to spend the night. If that's the case, it's really pure, but when I think of being in the temple, Gong Yu can think that the temple is a place where you can't see meat, and now there are more than ten days before the exam, and these days you have to let yourself be a vegetarian like a rabbit. Thinking of this, Gong Yu felt that his face was a little green.
Just when he was thinking wildly, and he didn't know where his thoughts were going, he heard his eldest brother next to him speak.
"In addition to the champion building in this provincial city, there is actually a Hongbin building. The condition of that inn is also good, and that inn is closer to the exam room. Let's go to that Hongbin Building and have a look. ”
There is also a little advantage of Hongbin Building, Gong Jian did not say, that is, although Hongbin Building is in the front guest room, although there are not as many as the champion building, but there are several small courtyards in the back that can be rented. Of course, the rent is a lot more expensive.
And when he heard the name Hongbin Building, Gong Yu's eyes lit up, and he remembered that he had heard a friend say on the road that the dishes of Hongbin Building were among the few in the provincial capital.
Just because the food in this inn is delicious, there are more people who eat in Hongbin Building. Coupled with the allusions like the champion building, so the students are all rushing to the champion building after arriving in the provincial capital, and there are not so many students living in the Hongbin Building.
While looking at the somewhat unfamiliar street scene in the provincial capital, the two brothers asked passers-by and walked towards Hongbin Building, where they could see from a distance that a three-story pavilion stood on the side of the noisy road.
At the spacious entrance, there is a signboard with a red background of Hongbin Building, at this time, it is the afternoon, not a meal, so there is no one at the gate.
But as soon as the two brothers walked into the store, they were immediately greeted by Xiao Er warmly, "Two little brothers, are you two playing in the top or staying in the hotel?"
Before Gong Yu volunteered to answer, Gong Jian had already asked beside him: "Xiao Er, is there any vacant courtyard in your backyard?"
Xiao Er looked at the guest officer, although the two young brothers were not too flamboyantly dressed, but as soon as they heard the slightly older brother, they opened their mouths and asked if there was anything to rent in the small courtyard behind their house. He immediately realized that the two young brothers were actually big customers. He replied with a smile: "This little brother came by chance, and there happened to be a courtyard vacant in the backyard." It's just that this yard is a little biased, and I don't know if the little brother can see it or not. ”
Hearing the conversation between his eldest brother and the younger brother, Gong Yu felt very surprised, he originally thought that he would only come to Hongbin Building, but he only lived in two guest rooms, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother would rent a yard with one mouth. But fortunately, his surprised expression only appeared on her face for a moment, and soon he restrained his emotions and silently followed behind his eldest brother.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
