Mu He carried a package, held a book, and walked aimlessly on the street while reciting, and didn't know where to spend the night, a fragrance came, he couldn't help but feel hungry and thirsty in his stomach, and looked up, but it was a restaurant, with the word "Qionglou" written on it.

"Are you a student rushing to take the exam?"

Mu He looked back and saw a young man carrying a large number of things in his left and right hands, and there was also a man wearing a hat on the side, and beside them were several young girls who were chattering, one of them was wearing a veil, probably not wanting outsiders to recognize her face, and behind them were several men with swords in their hands, probably guards.

"Exactly, student Kawama Muhe!"

"Since you are a student rushing for the exam, you are not preparing for the exam, how can you hang out here?"

"It's not that I'm hanging out, I'm just shy of money, and I haven't found a suitable hostel yet."

The young man is naturally Ma Qiang, Liu Yu has agreed to meet with him, and the two have agreed on some details through the messenger, he is ready to leave tomorrow, before leaving, he naturally wants to accompany Qingcheng, Lime and others to have a good time, even Liu Wei and his wife were taken by Ma Qiang to visit the market in Jizhou together.

Ma Qiang looked at Mu He, nodded and said, "Since he has passed the county examination, he is also talented and learned, come here, take him to Qionglou to open a room, and let all the food and drink expenses be counted in my house." ”

"No!" One person came out of the queue and answered, and came to Mu He's package.

"No!" Mu He immediately took a step back, then thanked Ma Qiang and said, "Thank you for your mercy, but you are a scholar below, and you will not be rewarded for it!" I took my leave under it! ”

Scholar? This is reading books that make your brain wood, right?

Ma Qiang smiled, he didn't dare to tell the truth, he still likes such a scholar very much, although it is a little detoured, but what is most lacking in officialdom is not these pedantics.

If you are all slippery, you will be miserable.

"You have merit, you reminded me that there must be other poor scholars like you in this imperial examination, you are all the pillars of the country who came here, if you starve to death one or two in order to catch the exam, General Zhenbei must not cry and faint."

Hearing what Ma Qiang said interestingly, Qingcheng and the others all snickered.

"Your name is Mu and right, I will talk to General Zhenbei, let the government come forward, give some subsidies or designate a residence for students who are taking the exam, I think General Zhenbei will reward me, how can you be considered useless?"

When Mu heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "If this is the case, it is a good deed." ”

Ma Qiang didn't wait for Mu He to say more, waved his hand to let Mu He go to Qionglou, and called someone to ask him to bring the words to Jia Xu, and then continued to play with everyone.

Mu He came to Qionglou, and as soon as he entered, he heard a person's laughter.

"I'll tell you! In this imperial examination, my grandson is bound to win, I have been preparing for a long time, my grandson wants to learn from the ancients, three years without a sound, a blockbuster! ”

"Zizhi is a great talent, General Zhenbei will definitely be a henchman in the future, and I will have to rely on one or two when I arrive!"

"It's good to say, drink! Drink!! ”

Mu Hexun went to find prestige, and saw that it was the man in brocade who had bought dozens of newspapers in one breath before, and then looked at the others, they were all gorgeously dressed, he looked at the clothes on his body, and couldn't help but feel a little shy.

"Shopkeeper, prepare an upper room, eat and pick good preparations, but don't be too greasy, the money is credited to our house!" The guard who brought Mu in took out a booklet and handed it to the shopkeeper who was settling accounts, the shopkeeper glanced at it, hurriedly put down the pen and ink, nodded and said, "The villain obeys the order, this nobleman, please here!" ”

Mu and saw the actions of the shopkeeper of Qionglou, and understood that the man's status just now was probably extraordinary, and asked the guard with some gratitude, "I don't know the name of Engong Zun, and I ask the strong man to inform me so that I can return it in the future." ”

The guard shook his head and said, "If you pass the test this time, you will naturally know, if you don't win, it is useless to know." ”

Mu He thought about it, he is a poor man now, if he doesn't get in, I'm afraid he won't even be able to enter Engong's door, it's really useless to know.

"Hey, isn't your Qionglou the best restaurant in Guangzong? Why do you let anyone in? Sun Yan saw the shopkeeper lead Mu upstairs, and scolded with wine and said, "What is the best, bah, even a poor man can enter, you can really see these mud legs anywhere." ”

"This brother Tai is also a scholar below, not to mention that if there is no farmer to cultivate, where can our rations come from?" Mu He is indeed roundabout, when he hears someone talking like this, ordinary people should not have heard it, but he has to fight back.

"Ahh Do you really think that a few acres of land are strong? You still read books, your book was stolen too! ”

"My books are relics of my father!"

"Oh, it turned out that Lao Tzu stole the book and his son read it, this is really the filial piety of the father and the son, ahhahahaha!" The people at Sun Yan's table laughed, and the other people who ate in Qionglou also laughed, everyone here is either rich or expensive, and indeed few people look down on Mu He who is dressed as a poor man.

"Sir doesn't need to say much to him, just concentrate on preparing for the exam."

Mu He nodded, gritted his teeth and walked up, secretly swearing in his heart that he must pass the imperial examination and get ahead.

A few hours later, Mu He was reading a book in the house, when he suddenly heard a gong sound outside.

Mu He opened the window to look out, but saw Luo Tong, who was wearing the clothes of the inner guard, shouting.

"General Zhenbei ordered that all candidates who come to take the examination can go to the Science and Education Bureau to receive money for accommodation and food by ten years with their documents, and they can also stay in the hostel specially arranged by the Science and Education Bureau! This is a great kindness, all candidates must work hard to prepare for the exam, don't let General Zhenbei down!! ”

General Zhenbei actually gave the order!

Mu He waved his hand happily, he didn't expect the man he saw today to have such an influence, and he became even more curious about Ma Qiang's identity.

Since the government has arranged a residence, let's return this place, after all, a room in Qionglou costs a lot of money.

Mu Ji thought about it, so he packed up his things and walked downstairs, daring to meet Sun Yan who was about to go upstairs.

Sun Yan glanced at Mu He with disgust, and then said to a few people on the side, "It's up to you then, but don't let me down." ”

"Zizhi, don't worry, we have all arranged it, and we will definitely let you go to high school!"

"Okay, let's go to the room and talk!"

Mu He glanced back, didn't think much about it, and went straight to check out to prepare to stay in the free hostel.

When checking out, Mu He suddenly saw a newspaper on the counter.

"Shopkeeper, can you show me this newspaper?"

"Oh, you're a nobleman, you can take it, let alone take a look."

Mu He looked at the newspaper greedily, but saw that the headline of the newspaper read, "100,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou, where is the sword pointing?" ”

Youzhou Liu Yu recruited 100,000 soldiers?

Mu He was taken aback, he still had basic common sense and knew what the concept of 100,000 soldiers and horses was.

With such a huge army, I'm afraid it's not for self-preservation...

Could it be that Youzhou and Jizhou are also going to war?
