Chapter 15 Save money for a thousand days and use it for a while
Gu Jin went downstairs without looking back with the medicine box, only to hear a commotion behind him, and the corners of Gu Jin's mouth hooked up to reveal a smile.
"Brother Gu, Brother Guγγγ"
Gu Jin didn't take a few steps out of the restaurant, she heard someone calling her behind her, Gu Jin turned around, only to see Wang Yu hurriedly chasing after her, Wang Yu did not have those companions around him, Wang Yu came out to chase him alone.
"Brother Gu, I'm really sorry today, it's me who has caused you trouble, if it weren't for me, γγγ" Wang Yu said guiltily, there was a thin layer of sweat on his head, obviously he was in a hurry.
"It's okay," Gu Jin waved his hand and said indifferently.
"I just wanted to walk with you, but my friends pulled me, and I was only a few steps slower." Wang Yu said helplessly.
"Oh," Gu Jin nodded, she continued to walk forward, the weather was a little hot, Gu Jin deliberately walked in the shadows cast by the shop, so that it could be cooler.
Wang Yu followed her, Gu Jin took two steps and tilted his head and asked, "Do you have a grudge against that Zuo Hongwen?" Why is he targeting you? β
"There's no enmity!" Wang Yu shook his head and explained, "I'm ashamed, Zuo Hongwen and I are actually slightly famous among the scholars in the capital, I worship under the mentor Lengshan Changmen, Zuo Hongwen is the proud disciple of the Guozi Supervisor Dong Sacrificial Wine, his father is a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, I am far behind him in terms of family background, he is a person whose eyes are above the top, where will he put me in his eyes!" β
Even if you don't pay attention to it, why is it deliberately targeted today?
Gu Jin was puzzled in her heart, as far as she could see, today's poetry and literature meeting was a Hongmen banquet, and Wang Yu's friends were afraid that they were also instigated by Zuo Hongwen, so they would pull Wang Yu here.
"Actually, the two of us don't interfere with the river water, and I guess the reason why he hates me eight or nine times out of ten is because of the recent gambling game in the gambling house. I really didn't expect him to be so narrow-minded, it's just a trivial matter, and he has to fight for his strengths and weaknesses. β
Wang Yu said angrily.
"Gamble? What gamble? Gu Jin stood on his feet and turned his head to ask with some confusion.
"You don't know?"
Wang Yu was stunned.
Gu Jin nodded, she really hadn't heard anything about gambling.
Seeing that Gu Jin really didn't know, Wang Yu explained.
It turns out that both the township examination and the general examination are held once every three years, and many scholars will come to the capital before each imperial examination.
There are more people, there are more lively, the people of the imperial examination also want to join in this excitement, the gambling house in Beijing is even more business, and the gambling game is opened by this shareholder wind, and the bet is who can be named in the gold list Xie Yuan of the high autumn festival, the Huiyuan of the spring festival, and even the champion of the royal pen.
It's about to be autumn, and the gambling game has been open since a few days ago, and there are a few candidates for Jinke Township to try to solve Yuanlang, the most popular of which is naturally Zuo Hongwen, but in addition to Zuo Hongwen, the most bet is Wang Yu.
There are also rumors that if you talk about talent, Wang Yu should be the first among the talented people in the capital, but Wang Yu does not have a good father, so the gambling game is inferior to Zuo Hongwen.
Wang Yu didn't care about the rumors, but Zuo Hongwen felt that Wang Yu stole his limelight, so he wanted to take the opportunity of the poetry meeting to make Wang Yu ugly.
This group of people is really boring, they are all full! Gu Jin thought about it, but when she thought about it, her heart moved.
"Where did the gambling game start?" Gu Jinruo asked Wang Yu unintentionally.
"There are basically all kinds of gambling houses, but the biggest gambling game is in the Heshun gambling house in the West Market."
"Oh,"
Wang Yu wanted to send Gu Jin back to the inn, but before he could walk a few steps, he heard someone calling him behind him, and the person who called him was none other than his friends.
Those people didn't come over, but just called Wang Yu to drink from a distance, and Wang Yu's face was a little embarrassed.
"Brother Gu, if you have nothing to do, come with us, we haven't had time to get to know each other just now, and we will eat and talk for a while, and everyone will be lively." Wang Yu said to Gu Jin.
Gu Jin shook her head, she glanced at the companions of Wang Yu not far away, hesitated for a moment, and finally said with deep meaning, "Sage Yun: A gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born immediately." Scholars should be famous first, and now that the township test is imminent, eating and drinking every day is misleading others and themselves! I'm afraid your friends γγγ, have bad intentions! β
"Brother Gu,"
"Brother Wang, it's better to do it yourself!" Without waiting for Wang Yu to speak, Gu Jin arched his hand and said.
After Gu Jin finished speaking, she turned around and left, what she said was not polite, but her heart was good, as for how much Wang Yu listened to, it was not something she could manage.
Wang Yu looked at Gu Jin's back in a daze, and he didn't wake up until his companions were in a hurry to pull him.
γγγγγγγγγγγγ
Gu Jin went back to the auspicious inn, and as soon as he returned to the inn, Gu Jin got into his room, locked the door, and then squatted on the ground and dug under the bed.
What to dig for?
Of course, it's a silver ticket!
Since staying in the inn, Gu Jin has stuffed all the silver tickets into the cracks under the bed board, compared to the cabinet, Gu Jin feels that it seems to be safer under the bed, she has to be careful, after all, these silver tickets are all her net worth.
A total of 500 taels of silver tickets, which is a huge amount of money in this era, more than 400 taels of these money are obtained by my brother from selling the ancestral house, and the rest is the consultation money obtained by Gu Jin for treating people.
After saving money for a thousand days and using it for a while, Gu Jin gritted his teeth, stuffed the silver ticket into his arms and walked out.
As soon as she walked outside the door, she saw Liu Bao coming towards the backyard, Gu Jin smiled when she saw Liu Bao, but coincidentally, she just wanted to find Liu Bao!
Gu Jin beckoned to Liu Bao, and Liu Bao hurriedly trotted over when he saw that it was Gu Jin.
"Gu Xiucai, do you have orders?" Liu Bao asked with a festive smile.
"Ah, it's something.γ"
Gu Jin said to Liu Bao as if chatting. "Of course, it's not anything important, it's just that when I came back just now, I heard that Huang Xiucai seems to be sick, and he still seems to have Hualiu disease."
Liu Bao was stunned, Huang Xiucai got Hualiu sick?
How did he not know about this?
"Is there such a thing? Tell me about it, and let me know the reason for this, so that I won't be able to reply to the shopkeeper's questions!" β
Although Liu Bao was puzzled, he was a thoughtful person, although he didn't know what Gu Jin wanted to do, he still followed Gu Jin's words.
"Wellγγγγ that's reallyγγI don't know what to say!"
Gu Jin took a hissing breath and continued after pondering for a while.
"Now the streets and alleys are all over the place, it seems that a girl in the Qinglou passed it to him, you say that he has such a disease but still does not see the doctor, he lives in this inn again, one is not careful, it will be passed on to others, which is not good for the reputation of the inn."
Gu Jin said with a sad face.
Liu Bao was a little dazed, he didn't quite understand what Gu Xiucai wanted to do when he told him, did he want him to drive Huang Tao out?
