Chapter 80: Moving the Vault
"Forehead ......"
The young man blushed at Ruoshui's gentle and clever words. He would have liked to find some words to refute Ruoshui's words, but ...... There are so many people who can't seem to explain the meaning of the sentence just now.
In the end, Ruoshui was kind enough to solve the siege.
"Then, why is it called 'Champion Building'?"
The young man hurriedly explained.
"Because of that couplet......"
He pointed from afar, and when Ruoshui looked up, he suddenly realized. It turned out that the two banners with large characters on both sides of the teahouse did not seem to be the elegant decorations she thought.
“…… That's the couplet where the white phase of Beijing is located. In recent years, almost all scientific examinations have been conducted by white or white protégés as the chief examiner. Now that the exam is approaching, scholars everywhere are naturally proud of the couplets made by the white phase, in the hope of getting the blue eyes of the white phase. ”
"Of course, this pair is not just anyone can be right, and most of the people who can be on this joint are also talented and well-educated people, plus Bai Xiang mentioned a little, and there are countless people who have risen to the top after the scientific examination, so it is 'on the champion building, you will be able to win the champion'."
The man talked eloquently, like a tour guide, explaining the ins and outs of this "champion building" clearly. Looking at his outfit, he also looks like a scholar, and he is going to participate in today's autumn exam, so it's no wonder that he knows so much about this place.
"Okay, thank you for the little girl's puzzles, then, the little woman will leave first."
Because of some curiosity, I asked a few casual questions. In fact, Ruoshui is not interested in couplets or champions or anything, but the small restaurant next to the champion's building is more attractive to her.
Since Huadianfang was framed by someone, Ye Fengtian was afraid that the thieves would have a chance, except for Bai Sulian, who was sent back to his father's house, all the rest of the people were hidden in the backyard of Yancui Building. Naturally, the clothing, food, housing and transportation of these people are also handled by him, so Ruoshui's current clothing and clothing are quite exquisite, compared to the previous coarse cloth vitex hairpin, I don't know how much stronger.
Ruoshui, who is dressed beautifully and exquisitely, is equivalent to a mobile vault in the eyes of some scholars from poor families.
Going to Beijing to take the exam is an extremely financially expensive thing, and some remote states and counties have to prepare dozens of taels of silver for the travel fee alone, which is equivalent to the entire annual income of an ordinary family. However, it is not enough to only pay for the journey, and there are dots up and down in the officialdom, and there is silver inside and out, which is simply spending money like water.
If the family is poor, even if you are only eight buckets high, even if you can save money and go to the capital, unless you are only able to learn to the top three in the stable middle school, most of the remaining people will only return with hatred. is a fluke to really enter the Shi and the first, and the long time waiting for the shortage in the next period is enough to drag a well-off family into a poor middle peasant.
As a result, those poor children who were full of talent to learn, or who thought they were talented, cast their eyes on the local big families. Whose daughter is in the boudoir, is the object of their eagerness.
However, who would entrust the happiness of their daughter's life to a poor sour talent who can't even say whether she can be lifted. In the future, it is really difficult to cheat the money of the father-in-law, so he can only focus on those ignorant daughters.
Sixteen or seventeen-year-old Miss Jiao, who only has a monotonous boudoir and family servants all day long, has basically no resistance to those scholars who are the most good at reciting poetry and pretending to be chic. abducted the hearts of other people's daughters, even if the old father-in-law was unwilling, most of them could only grit their teeth and gamble~
Therefore, climbing a good family business is the most important thing before those poor people go to Beijing to catch the exam.
The current Ruoshui, whether in terms of dress or age, is the most in line with the requirements of those poor people, otherwise he would not be accosted by other men for no reason.
The accosting was naturally purposeful, and the man was still thinking about how to do his best to completely take down this young lady, but he didn't expect that he had just made a famous introduction to the famous places, and there was no longer a chance to speak.
"Hey~ this girl-"
finally met a suitable one, how could the man give up lightly, and wanted to catch up and talk to him more.
"What's the matter with Childe?"
After all, she was very enthusiastic about being a commentator for a while just now, and Ruoshui was not good at ignoring others completely, so although the five visceral temples in her belly had already shouted to eat and drink, she had to turn around and patiently talk to others.
Seeing that the beautiful woman could still be called back, the young man was naturally overjoyed, and was just about to say something poetic and elegant to show off his talents, but he heard that the crowd not far behind him suddenly burst into cheers.
"What's wrong?"
Ruoshui still wondered what was going on, but when she saw the scholar who was still holding her with a dead face just now, she turned her face and squeezed towards the crowd, how could she care about answering her question.
Touching the empty stomach, Ruoshui weighed whether it was more important to see the excitement or feed himself, and when he was about to raise his feet and continue to walk towards the small restaurant, a voice suddenly sounded in the quiet crowd. To her, the sound was incomparably familiar.
"Wind bamboo green bamboo, wind turn green bamboo bamboo wind."
"I'm right, white plums in the snow, white plums in the snow, white plums in the snow."
The crowd remained quiet for a moment, and then erupted in louder cheers than before.
"Sister, aren't we going to eat?"
With the same thoughts as Ruoshui, Xiao Yong didn't dare to be interested in the matter of not being the champion, and now his whole heart is hanging on the matter of lunch. Seeing that the man who had been pestering Ruoshui finally left them and disappeared, he wanted to urge Ruoshui to leave quickly.
However, to his bewilderment, Ruoshui not only did not go, but walked into the crowd as if he had not heard him at all.
Ruoshui doesn't like poetry, and she doesn't like to mess with right and wrong, but when she heard that voice, she couldn't control her steps, and couldn't help but walk towards the place where the voice came from.
Walking into the crowd, all that was left was clothes of various colors and high and low shoulders. Most of the onlookers are scholars, Ruoshui is a weak woman, born petite, squeezed into the crowd, the range of sight is even worse than standing on the periphery just now.
