Chapter 17: Peddling Exam Papers
Time passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eve of the exam.
The inns in Kyoto are full, and some of the small courtyards that are close to the examination room, or are relatively quiet and suitable for revision, are also rented out early.
Deng Jin came to Kyoto with his classmates from the academy. The leader of the team is Pei Xi, who teaches arithmetic, Teacher Pei. This is the fourth time that Mr. Pei has accompanied the students of Yuanshan Academy to participate in the examination. Mr. Pei has a lot of experience.
Teacher Pei booked a relatively clean small courtyard early.
In addition to Deng Jin, Yuanshan Academy came to refer to this time, as well as Yi Chengying, Xu Min, Zhang Chi, and Zeng Shibin.
Xu Min's aunt is Kyoto Dali Sizhi. Xu Min grew up in Kyoto before the age of thirteen, and was sent by her aunt to a friend's academy for further study after Xu Min was admitted to Xiucai. And Aunt Xu Min's friend is Deng Jin's master Ye Yin.
With this relationship, Xu Min often comes to Ye Shanchang to ask for teaching, and because of this, Deng Jin and Xu Min are also relatively familiar, and the relationship is better than that of other classmates.
Deng Jin was visiting Kyoto for the first time, and when he saw that Kyoto was so prosperous, he was naturally curious.
Xu Min saw Deng Jin's thoughts, and she herself hadn't been back to Kyoto for a long time, and she was also curious about the changes in Kyoto today. She volunteered to take Deng Jin for a visit to Kyoto.
Xu Min has been away from Kyoto for a long time, but she has an aunt who has been an official in Kyoto!
Xu Min borrowed two maids from her aunt who were familiar with Kyoto, and then pulled Deng Jin out of the door.
"Where do you want to go?" One of them, Mo Lan, who looked more stable, asked.
Xu Min looked at Deng Jin and wanted her to help get an idea.
Deng Jin couldn't laugh or cry: "Look at what I'm doing, I haven't been to Kyoto next time." I also pointed to Wen Jie (Xu Min's words) You! ”
Xu Min was a little distressed, and she muttered quietly, "I haven't been to Kyoto for several years!" ”
Another more clever servant Mozhu saw the dilemma of the two, and then proposed: "Zuixiao Lou is a newly built restaurant in recent years, once it was built, it was in the limelight, and quickly replaced the natural residence to become the first restaurant in Kyoto. The wine and food of the drunken night building have a unique flavor and distinctive characteristics. The storyteller in the drunken yokai building is also one of the best in Kyoto, and the stories are often novel and interesting, and the lobby is full every day, which is very lively. Why don't you go to the drunken night house to have a look? ”
"Fanse (Deng Jin's character), go take a look?" Xu Min raised her eyebrows, she liked the lively place the most.
"Then let's see!" Deng Jin is also very interested in this fast-rising restaurant that tells novel stories every day.
Xu Min saw that Deng Jin also agreed, so he ordered: "Mozhu leads the way." ”
"No."
Mo Zhu and Mo Lan led the way in front, and soon they arrived at the drunken night building.
Just looking at the appearance, it is very magnificent and has a sense of luxurious beauty.
Well, that's right, it's expensive just looking at the decoration.
Deng Jin and his entourage walked into the drunken night building, greeted Xiao Er in the hall, and when they saw a new guest coming, they immediately greeted them.
In fact, Deng Jin didn't think it was the same as Deng Jin thought about it, and the guests in the lobby on the first floor were mixed, mostly ordinary people. This makes Deng Jin very different, according to the appearance of this restaurant, it doesn't look like a meal for civilians.
"Sister Mozhu, I want to ask, why is it that the restaurant has such a luxurious appearance, but most of the guests inside are ordinary people? Can the people afford it? If the people can afford to eat, can the restaurant make money? ”
"The lady is polite, just call me Mozhu directly. To say that this drunken restaurant is a wonder of Kyoto, is a place that the family magnates, the common people love, the people can afford to eat, the magnates also enjoy receiving thousands of longings, a unique sense of dignity, as for whether the restaurant can be profitable, and allow the maid to sell a pass, you two go to the second floor to book a private room to know. Mo Zhu's explanation made Deng Jin even more interested.
Xu Min is the same, she can't wait to book a private room on the second floor to see what's different: "Xiao Er, book a private room on the second floor." ”
Xiao Er immediately smiled when he heard this: "Now there is still a place in the No. 2 bamboo character room, do you see?" ”
"Okay, just between the bamboo word No. 2, by the way, your signature dish will be served again." Xu Min is not a picky person, she immediately decided to charter the second bamboo room.
Xiao Er is even more happy, this look is not bad for money. Xiao Er shouted: "Between the second bamboo word, two of you-"
Then Xiao Er led them up the stairs.
The staircase was long and chic, and when they walked up, the people on the first floor were watching them with longing and envy.
Honestly, it really feels like it's fluttering. Xu Min felt that he was floating on the clouds, expanding, really expanding, this feeling, no matter how much it spent, it was worth it! Even Deng Jin was a little turbulent, and it took some time to calm down, and she couldn't help but sigh that the person who designed it was a ghost!
They were ushered to the door of the No. 2 Bamboo Room, and they were about to push the door to enter, but they were attracted by a conversation.
"Brother Wang, don't worry! It's not the first time these doctors have sold exam papers, the real thing, the absolute real thing! ”
"Brother Yang, you can't harm me, it's not a small amount for my family to take out these silver taels......
"Can I still lie to you? The two of us grew up wearing a pair of pants, so let's go and see ......."
