Yi Jiuxiao took Ji Hai's clothes and supplies out of the space and put them in the storage bag, cleaned up Ji Hai's body and put it in the storage bag, and then dug a deep pit in the corner of the yard and buried the storage bag, which can be regarded as destroying the corpse.

This money is good, better than a storage ring. Wan Shufang introduced to him in the jade slip that the ordinary storage ring only has three zhang space, and this thing has ten zhang space, and it is enough to put things.

In addition, this thing is hidden, and it is difficult to see it when it is hung close to the body, unlike the storage ring that is too conspicuous on the hand, after all, Yi Jiuxiao is not a monk, and wearing a storage ring will cause trouble. What is the name of this thing, Yi Jiuxiao thought about it, let's call it a storage ring, it's too cheesy to call it storage money.

After packing up, Yi Jiuxiao was about to leave here, he still carried his package, and the jade slip in the package was put into the storage ring by him, and the rest was the same as before, so that he was like a big scholar rushing to take the exam.

With a few punches, he broke Ji Hai's formation besieging him, Ji Hai was not a master of the formation path, and this simple formation could only imprison mortals.

Out of the courtyard, he could only walk, because when he first moved in, the horses were disposed of by Ji Hai, and this place is relatively remote, and there is no horse market around.

After walking more than five miles to see a market, Yi Jiuxiao hired a dilapidated carriage in the market, slowly walked towards the center of the capital, and arrived around the Beijing Examination Institute in the evening.

I even asked dozens of inns, and they were all full. It is conceivable that the national examination is only once every three years, during which dozens of new candidates are born in each state, as well as old candidates who have not been in the past years, whether new or old, can register for the national examination in the state capital, thousands of new and old candidates across the country, all concentrated around the examination institute, accommodation must be very tight, many candidates are living in the surrounding area a few months in advance.

There was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street, and Yi Jiuxiao wandered through the crowd with packages on his back, constantly entering and exiting inns.

At this time, the lights were already on, and the trees on the side of the road were gently swaying in the lights, falling sparse shadows, like strange eyes, laughing at the lonely and depressed young man in the bustling imperial capital.

Just as Yi Jiuxiao was at a loss and was about to sleep on the street, a voice sounded in his ears: "This brother wants to find a place to stay?"

Yi Jiuxiao had sensed the person who was speaking, but he still turned sideways and said "yes" to the other party head-on.

The one who spoke was a young man in brocade, about seventeen or eighteen years old, holding a gilt folding fan, and his appearance was very handsome, but he looked very feminine, and he was a little similar to a woman.

Behind him were two maids and two attendants, both of whom had storage bags hanging from their waists, as if they were cultivators.

"If it's an ordinary inn, I'm afraid it's hard to find at this time, if you can afford to spend it, there is still a place to live in the surrounding area. ”

"Oh, but please make it clear to you, brother. Yi Jiuxiao hugged his fists.

The young man in brocade stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said: "Half a mile ahead, there is an inn called Xiang Gui Fang, there should be a free room at this time, you have to hurry up, it may not be there if it is late." ”

"Thank you brother for your advice, I'll go over now. Yi Jiuxiao heard that there was a vacant room, and he was in a hurry to live, it was not easy to sleep on the streets all night, and he was not short of money now.

After Yi Jiuxiao walked out dozens of feet away, the young man in brocade said to the four people behind him: "Let's follow this stupid boy over and see the excitement, haha." ”

Half a mile of road, a moment of time is here, Yi Jiuxiao only saw a gorgeous building, towering on the side of the street, the lanterns in front of the tall gatehouse are hung high, the shadow of the building behind the door is heavy, and there is the sound of wind music from time to time, there is a plaque on the door, which is engraved with three big characters "Xiang Guifang".

This is clearly not like an inn, Yi Jiuxiao couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart, but now that he was desperate, he couldn't care so much, so he walked in hard, and after entering the door, several women with heavy makeup and pink greeted him.

One of the women grabbed Yi Jiuxiao's arm and said angrily: "Ah, this little brother, go in with your sister, whether you drink or listen to songs, your sister will accompany you." ”

This is the Qinglou, Yi Jiuxiao is sure, although he didn't find the Qinglou woman in the Great Song Dynasty in his previous life, he still knows about the Qinglou, he didn't think that he would enter this Qinglou by mistake today, he doesn't like this place. I was going to turn around and go out, but when I looked back, I didn't look for pleasure here, it was always okay to find a house to live in, it was better than sleeping on the streets, why should the husband be obsessed with small things.

"This girl, please let go and call your boss to me. ”

When the woman saw that Yi Jiuxiao was unwilling to go in with her, and asked her to call the boss, she suddenly became unhappy and looked at Yi Jiuxiao with contempt. I saw that this young man looked clean, but his clothes were very ordinary, carrying a large package, and he looked like a down-and-out scholar, like a person who came in to have fun.

"What are you looking for our boss to do, our boss is not someone who will see him, if you don't play, please leave. After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Yi Jiuxiao, and several women next to him laughed eatingly.

How could Yi Jiuxiao not understand this situation, he unhurriedly took out a silver ingot from the package, which was forty or fifty taels, shook it in his hand and said, "How about meeting your boss with this?"

A smile appeared on the woman's face, and the fat powder fell down, although this ordinary boy was inconspicuous, he was really rich, and he took out such a big silver ingot casually, it seemed that he was a rich man, and he hurriedly said: "Childe, please wait a while, I will go and call you the boss." ”

Yi Jiuxiao sat down on a chair in the lobby, put the package aside, and then a small servant brought tea, and before he could take a few sips, he saw the woman come back, followed by a woman in red who was still in her thirties.

The woman in red walked in front of Yi Jiuxiao and said in a sneer: "Liu Xianggui, the slave family, is the boss here, I don't know what the son is looking for me?"

"I want to find a place to live in Xiang Gui Fang, I don't know how many days I will stay, I don't know if it's convenient?" After speaking, Yi Jiuxiao picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, he was really a little thirsty.

"It's so convenient, how can it be inconvenient, Xiang Guifang is for guests to live, not only can you live, but also have a girl to live with, Childe will follow me to the back to choose a girl." Liu Xianggui grabbed Yi Jiuxiao's arm and wanted to take him into the back hall.

"I'm not busy, I don't need a girl, I just need a house with a bed, and food, don't bother me usually, understand?"

Liu Xianggui was stunned for a moment, how could she come here just to stay and not find a girl, this is not an inn. Thinking about it, there must be a candidate who can't find a place to live, no matter him, as long as he gives money, the old lady can't afford to live here.

"Everything is subject to the orders of the child, but my accommodation here is a bit expensive, twenty taels of silver a night, wine and food are calculated separately, if the son is willing, please pay the deposit first." ”

Yi Jiuxiao took out a piece of gold leaf from his arms, checked it in his hand, handed it to Liu Xianggui, and said, "It's okay, this is about worth five hundred taels of silver, put it here for you first, and then return more and make up for less." ”

Liu Xianggui happily took the gold leaf, and immediately sent someone to take Yi Jiuxiao to a quiet and tidy room upstairs, and sent good wine and food. The best inn near here is only five taels of silver per night, and she is twenty taels of silver a night here, which is really not affordable for ordinary people.

The boy in brocade and his entourage guarded not far from Xiang Gui Fang, watching Yi Jiuxiao enter Xiang Gui Fang, he had been waiting for Yi Jiuxiao to come out, and he hoped that Yi Jiuxiao would be driven out by the thugs, but after waiting for a full hour, he didn't see Yi Jiuxiao's shadow, and he couldn't help but be very depressed.

In his opinion, Yi Jiuxiao was just a poor scholar from a remote state city, how could he have the money to live in Xiang Guifang, and letting him in was just a joke, but he never saw the result, so he could only take his entourage away stupidly.

The national examination is also two days, the first day is to test poetry, and the second day is to test scriptures. Early in the morning, Yi Jiuxiao left Xiang Gui Fang and gradually walked into the imperial examination hall with the flow of people.

The examination institute was heavily guarded, and in addition to the official officers of the examination institute, soldiers were also transferred to maintain order, and the atmosphere was much more solemn than that of the county and state examinations. Yi Jiuxiao followed the instructions outside the examination room and found the place where he took the exam.

Because of the large number of candidates, the examination room is composed of hundreds of shops. In order to prevent cheating, candidates from all states were scattered and divided into four invigilators, all of whom were drawn from various ministries and departments.

An hour before the start of the exam, candidates will enter the test one after another. Yi Jiuxiao was the one who came relatively early, and found his seat according to the list outside the market.

As soon as he sat down, he found that there was a person in the field that he knew, it was the young man in brocade who pointed him to Lan Kwai Fong the day before yesterday. The young man also saw Yi Jiuxiao and smiled mysteriously at Yi Jiuxiao, but Yi Jiuxiao ignored him and pretended not to recognize him.
