Chapter 91 Huangzhou Mansion Sees Old Acquaintances Again
Escaping from the cottage, Zhao Zhongming sent two coachmen back to Huangmei County as soon as possible, and passed on a message to his father Zhao De, explaining what happened, hoping that his father could send someone to send silver taels as soon as possible.

The reason why they used oral messages to spread the word was because these poor scholars, except for the test quotations placed close to them, only Zhao Zhongming still had twenty taels of silver tickets on his body, and nothing else.
And these twenty taels are to support the six of them, and the daily expenses in Huangzhou Mansion will not be until the day Zhao De's money is delivered.
In desperation, Lin Fusheng and others didn't even dare to take the car, so they could only walk for two days before coming to Huangzhou Mansion.
At this time, it was nearly mid-March, and the exam was scheduled in April, and the inn restaurant in Huangzhou Mansion was already full. What kind of attic firewood room does you say, even if someone wants to rent out the cellar, I'm afraid there are people living in it.
"Why is there even a firewood house where people live?" Sun Ji came out of an inn that looked inconspicuous and sighed, "If you can't find a place to stay, how can you do it tonight." ”
"It's late, that's it, I'm afraid it's ......," Jiang Wendeng sighed.
If Zhao Zhongming used the twenty taels of silver to find a better restaurant, he might be able to find an inferior guest room and last for a few days, but he didn't do it, and he was still looking for a cheap place to stay with everyone. This made Lin Fusheng have a qualitative change in his view of this pampered rich son.
When a few people were at a loss, a few people rushed to the opposite side, smiling one by one, as if they had encountered some great joy, and rushed to meet the dusty and down-and-out Lin Fusheng and his party.
Lin Fusheng looked at it fixedly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
There is a place to stay!
I saw that the oncoming person was headed by his exclusive "God of Wealth" Wang Zongkui. Chen Qing and Meng Zhixiao were followed behind him, and there were two other unfamiliar faces.
These people, dressed in long shirts, are all first-class and good-class fabrics. Except for Meng Zhixiao and Chen Qing, everyone else was holding a small fan, swaying gently while walking, looking like a few talented poets from a distance, going to catch up with some poetry meeting.
It is really like a gathering of things, and the people who are good friends with Wang Zongkui, even their behaviors and actions are strikingly similar.
"Oh, this isn't Zhao Gongzi, oops, even Brother Fusheng is here. You ......, this is ......, why are you so depressed? Wang Zongkui stepped closer, raised his eyebrows into a figure-eight shape, and asked as if he was surprised.
In fact, on the way from Huangmei County to Huangzhou Mansion, there were bandits robbing the road, which had already spread to the boundary of Huangzhou Mansion, and many candidates in Huangmei County had suffered misfortune.
Wang Zongkui, Chen Qing, and Meng Zhixiao, after hearing about it, thanked God again and again, and at the same time, they secretly looked forward to Lin Fusheng disappearing.
Finally on this day, Wang Zongkui and others heard that there were a few scholars who were rushing to take the exam, and they only arrived in Huangzhou Mansion today, and they were all embarrassed, and they came from afar without luggage. I think it was due to a change on the way.
After many inquiries, I learned that these down-and-out scholars were several students of Sun Fuzi in Huangmei County, and the most important thing was that there was Lin Fusheng, who he had long hated.
Under the surprise, several people were anxious to see Lin Fusheng's good show. Moreover, you can also take the opportunity to ridicule them.
When Lin Fusheng and the others saw Wang Zongkui's state, they all knew his intentions, so some of them bowed their heads, some raised their heads, and some looked left and right, but they ignored him.
When Wang Zongkui was feeling embarrassed, he didn't expect that Lin Fusheng accepted his words with a smile.
"Brother Wang doesn't know, I met a bandit on the way, was escorted to the cottage, and was almost killed several times. ......" Lin Fusheng recounted the horrors in the cottage with emotion.
"Huh?" Wang Zongkui was stupid when he heard it.
Didn't this kid see that I was gloating? How can you say it so happily. As if it hadn't happened to them. Are you lacking eyes?
"Brother Wang, guess what happened?"
"Uh, I don't know." Wang Zongkui replied hesitantly.
"Later, one day, a fire broke out in the cottage. The bandits were too busy to take care of us. Only then did we find an opportunity to escape the mountain. After that, Lin Fusheng pretended to be relaxed and let out a sigh of relief. It's dangerous, it's dangerous. ”
This kid, what are you doing with them?
Zhao Zhongming was strong and listened to Lin Fusheng's nonsense.
Wang Zongkui and his entourage listened to the story with relish, their eyes were closed one by one, and they looked very nervous from time to time.
It wasn't until he finished listening that Wang Zongkui turned around.
I'm here to see the joke, I'm nervous!
"Oh, so to speak, a few people have been really disastrous along the way. Uh......, I came from the same road, but I never saw half a figure of the bandits. Looking down, it is really bad luck to meet bandits on this way. Wang Mou has a word of persuasion. ”
"Brother Wang, please speak."
"It's better to go home first, run well when the time comes, and then come to the test, which will save you bad luck and lose the face of Master Li." Wang Zongkui said and looked to the side, and got a few echoed laughter.
After laughing, Chen Qing and Meng Zhixiao, who were behind Wang Zongkui, walked to Zhao Zhongming's side with a smile on their faces, and when they passed by Lin Fusheng, they gave him a roll of the eyes.
"Brother Zhongming, if you have bad luck, it's better not to take the test, if you fall off the list because of luck, won't it make people see a joke in vain?"
"Yes, Brother Zhongming, you better go back."
Chen Qing and Meng Zhixiao sang and persuaded together.
"Hehe, yes, yes, this is reasonable." At this time, there was a burst of mocking laughter from behind Wang Zongkui.
After laughing, a thin scholar in clean clothes took two steps forward and arched his hand: "Yang Jin in Xiaguangji." Looking at a few people who are disheveled and have no luggage, I'm afraid they don't even have the money to return home. If you are worried about money, although Yang's family is not as generous as Brother Wang, you can also help. ”
"Zhang Jun in Xia Luotian is also willing to donate." Another scholar stepped forward with a smile on his face, looking particularly superior in front of several scholars who had been looted by the bandits.
Yang Jin and Zhang Jun, like Wang Zongkui, had passed the government examination in the early years and won the title of Tongsheng. This time, the three of them got together and condescended in front of the candidates who went to the exam, showing off their profound knowledge.
Hearing the words of the two friends, Wang Zongkui seemed to be drunk, shook his head flutteringly, and exclaimed: "Oh, they all say that this literati is light, but the two benevolent brothers can help several of Wang's friends and give them the return journey." Well, Wang should follow suit. As he spoke, he took out some copper coins from his body and handed them to Lin Fusheng.
With Wang Zongkui's net worth, if he really helps others, it is not a silver ticket, but at least a silver tael. This copper coin is clearly an insult to Lin Fusheng and others.
