is so good at seizing every opportunity, no wonder the Xue brothers and sisters were able to pass the county exam.

Although opportunistic, it is also a good way to achieve the goal.

Liu Chenxing glanced at the Xue brothers and sisters again.

At that time, it was noon, the sun was scorching, and I had been on the road all morning, and I was already sleepy and tired.

Stopping for a while, the top priority is to find a hotel to settle down first.

Although this state city is large, Xue Cheng, who is with him, can be regarded as half of the state city, he lived in this city for more than half a year when he was a ranger, and wandered around the streets and alleys all day long, and he has a clear understanding of what each square has.

With Liu Chenxing's previous analysis, Xue Cheng also tacitly took out what he could serve the Liu family, and led them to the workshop where they had always lived for the exam, and screened a place with a good environment, and introduced: "Although this inn is not the best in the city, the owner has a relationship with Zhang Sigong, who presided over this tribute examination. ”

Speaking of this, I just walked to the door of the hotel.

Someone leaned against the door and watched.

At this time, there were a lot of people who came and went to the shop, but the Xue brothers and sisters took a look, and they were servants leading horses, and they were sabers, they must be the children of a rich family, and before Xue Cheng stood at the door of the store, the people of the store immediately greeted them, and said to the Xue brothers and sisters: "Lang Jun, the lady is staying in the hotel?" There are a lot of people here, so you can just want a single courtyard, which is clean and easy to live in. ”

Saying that he greeted his partner, he took the horses from the hands of the Ah Zhong and Ah Zhen brothers and sisters, and he made an invitation gesture and said: "Let the two horses be led in from the side door to take care of them, you two ......."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped.

Seeing that although Liu Chenxing is in a gray cloth dress, he is young and beautiful, maybe it is the red sleeves that add fragrance, and the pillow is blown by the wind, which is not ordinary.

I also saw that although Liu Qingshan was carrying a bag and had no sword on his body, he was dressed in white and looked like a child, so he should not be a servant.

Looking at the past at a glance, I couldn't help but hesitate to consider what to call it.

Xue Cheng had already seen it, and looked at the Liu family with a little apology, and called "Uncle Liu", "Qingshan", and "Mrs. Liu" one by one, before he personally made an invitation gesture and continued to introduce: "There is another advantage of this store, that is, there are many yards, we can just share a yard, and we don't have to worry about idle people and other disturbances." A touch of pride flashed in his eyes when he said that, and Fang said: "Of course, if you can find someone to stay in this store, most of them are not idle people." ”

At this point, many meanings are self-evident.

Liu Chenxing understood that there could be a clean house in a single house, and she and Xue Yuan were women, of course, it was inconvenient to live with strange men.

In addition to meeting the living needs of their group, they can find out the background of the owner and stay in this store, most of them are well-informed, and they live here, which is also convenient to listen to the latest state test information.

Indeed, this hostel is a good choice.

Liu Chenxing nodded secretly, even if she was confident in herself, but modern exams are operated in the dark, not to mention that it was the beginning of the establishment of the imperial examination, she was still cautious.

The people in the store also reacted from Xue Cheng's title at this time, and they were annoyed, and hurriedly shouted to the store: "There are three Lang Jun and two little ladies living in the store. While speaking, he also led Liu Chenxing and his party into the hotel with a hunched back.

As soon as you step through the three-room wide gate, you will find the lobby of the hotel.

The hall is quite spacious, at least more than 20 rectangular low tables are placed, it is estimated that it is the time for lunch, the hall is overcrowded, and there are diners dressed in white cloth and linen clothes and wearing hats.

Liu Chenxing glanced at it, retracted his gaze, and waited for Xue Cheng to negotiate with the shopkeeper.

Xue Cheng is a person who knows how to deal with things, and knows who should interact with each other.

He remembered that Liu Chenxing and Xue Yuan were unwilling to take advantage of the beef exchange, so he didn't have the idea of helping the Liu family pay the room fee. Although he originally planned to have a single courtyard, whether he had a grandfather or not, the room fee he paid was the same.

It's just that considering the economic situation of the grandfather, he didn't want the biggest and best Tianzihao yard, and learned that the Liu father and son wanted to share a room, and Liu Chenxing had a single room, so he asked the store to ask for a courtyard with five rooms, two for the grandfather, one for each of their brothers and sisters, and another study, a total of three.

After talking to the innkeeper like this, Xue Chengfang turned around and said to his grandfather: "There are three upper rooms in this courtyard, our brothers and sisters want it, if you don't dislike the side room, you can calculate the room fee according to 100 wen per day." ”

Although the room fee was raised, it was not difficult to see that Xue Cheng was accommodating them.

However, this was Xue Cheng's willingness, and it was not forced by her own side, and she didn't feel indebted.

But in the end, thanks to the blessings of the Xue brothers and sisters, they have the opportunity to live in an independent courtyard, and this love still has to be inherited.

Liu Chenxing's heart was like a mirror, and when she saw that her father and brother were secretly relieved after hearing the one hundred study fees, she couldn't help but secretly say that Xue Cheng would be a man again.

If Xue Cheng chooses a big courtyard just now, they are shy in their pockets, and they can't slap their swollen faces and become fat, so they will have to live separately, this small courtyard with five rooms can barely afford it, so he said: "The courtyard is 600 wen a night, and it is evenly divided into 120 wen per night, even if we want a side room, one less than 20%, it should be 96 wen a night, and two rooms are 192 wen." ”

"If you receive one hundred den, you will lose one hundred and ninety-two deni a day. From today, until the end of the state test and the release of the list, it will take at least half a month, that is, you will lose 2,880 Wen. If there is no merit, I also ask Xue Langjun to calculate my room fee according to 96 Wen per night. ”

Since he couldn't understand the official language of the imperial court proclamators eight years ago, Liu Chenxing realized the importance of learning official language.

Especially after Liu Wenwen went to Chang'an, he mentioned in his letter that if he aspires to become an official, he must learn the official language, so that he can understand what his colleagues say, and he can also let his colleagues know what you are talking about.

Therefore, under the recommendation of Liu Wenwen, Liu Qingshan followed a gentleman from Qingyang Academy to learn official Chinese, and Liu Chenxing learned from Liu Qingshan.

Now Liu Chenxing has been learning Mandarin for three or four years, just like going to other parts of the country to speak Mandarin in his previous life, Liu Chenxing has been practicing himself to speak Mandarin since he left their Qingyang County.

At this time, the vast majority of places spoke dialects, because the vast majority of people had never been out of their states and counties in their lives, and those who had the conditions and ability to travel the world naturally knew that Mandarin was a common language, so they knew a little.

Liu Chenxing and his entourage of seven people, which is a lot, and some of the shopkeepers shouted "two ladies", and most of the ladies who came to stay in the hotel during this period were female lifters, and the people in the hall who had lunch couldn't help but look at them curiously.

Originally, I saw Liu Chenxing wearing a gray cloth dress, it was estimated that she was not a woman, but at this time, I listened to Liu Chenxing's official words, although the accent was extremely heavy and very non-standard, but it still made people understand it as soon as they heard it, and when I saw Liu Chenxing almost in one breath, he calculated the accounts clearly, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

This surprise, and seeing that Liu Chenxing is young but beautiful, especially the scholarly and literary atmosphere between the eyebrows, one person guessed:

"The top of the list in Qingyang County this time is a thirteen-year-old little lady, I heard that she is not only quick-witted, but also has outstanding appearance, and looks a little similar to this little lady in gray."
