Chapter 135: Senior Brother
Gu Chengyu was about to go in the direction of the inn, but there was a sound behind him. When he looked back, he saw that it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old candidate. This candidate has already added a crown to his head, but Gu Chengyu can obviously see that he is not yet twenty years old.
He thought about it carefully, this person might be Fu Yanshan, the nephew of Fu Ming, the head of Boshan Academy. Although Gu Chengyu had only been in the capital for a short time, he had also heard the news. Fu Yanshan is a young talent, he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of thirteen, and he is one of the most popular candidates for Xie Yuan in this year's township test.
The capital is full of Heizhuang gambling houses, Gu Chengyu heard about this, and later asked Mingmo to find out, and these talented students are on the list of gambling houses. He is also a dark horse who came out halfway, and the odds are not high, probably when he first checked into the inn a month ago, he became famous.
Mingmo and Mingyan even pressed twenty taels of silver by themselves, and his odds were five to one, which was already very low. Other Fu Yanshan is also one to five, Min Feng is one to three, other Jiangnan talents are one to eight, and there are more.
Gu Chengyu felt that the eyes of the masses were bright, and everyone thought that Min Feng was very likely to get Xie Yuan.
As for Gu Chengyu himself, because he is a candidate from the Northland, he was not keen on communication before, such as participating in poetry meetings, of course, it is impossible to have lower odds than those talents who have been famous for a long time.
Gu Chengyu is not conceited enough that he will definitely be able to solve the yuan, after all, there are people who have become famous at a young age like him. Besides, after all, the exam has to be touched by luck, and if the examiner happens to dislike his style, then his ranking cannot be too high.
The only thing he can be sure of is that as long as there are no accidents, he should be able to pass the test in his hometown, and the ranking will not be lower.
Fu Yanshan walked out of the gate of the Tribute Courtyard and looked at Gu Chengyu who was standing outside. This candidate was the first to hand in the paper before, and he was very strange, as if he had never heard of this person. He only concentrates on studying in the academy on weekdays, and Jiangnan talents have been famous for a long time, of course he has heard of it, but this candidate is so young, he doesn't seem to have heard of it.
In fact, Fu Yanshan didn't pay attention, Fu Ming mentioned Gu Chengyu's matter when he went back, but Fu Yanshan focused on the book, and then Fu Ming didn't mention it again.
Gu Chengyu saw that the other party was looking at him, so he smiled and saluted. As soon as he straightened up, he saw Fu Yanshan turn around expressionlessly, lift his robe, and step into the gorgeous carriage that was already waiting next to him.
Gu Chengyu was stunned, touched his nose, and was a little speechless, okay! It's his own passion!
Ming Yan's expression was more stunned, his son-in-law was good-looking, and his talent was not low, and most people were still willing to make friends with him. Of course, those who are jealous don't count. But I didn't expect this person to not buy Gongzi's account, after all, scholars cherish their reputation, and in situations like this, most of them will return the gift, and the number of courtesies is like this.
Seeing Gu Chengyu's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Ming Yan pulled the corners of her mouth, and felt a little coke in her heart! His son-in-law also had times when he was deflated.
Gu Chengyu hurried back to the inn and ordered Xiao Er to carry some hot water.
"Gu Gongzi came back so early? The small one will give you the hot water to carry in! "This little second is called Heizi, and he has long been familiar with Gu Chengyu and them, so he is also called Gu Chengyu Gongzi like Mingmo and them! After all, at such a young age, it doesn't sound good to be called a master.
Heizi likes to take Gu Chengyu's job the most, although it is hard to carry the hot water to the third floor, Gu Gongzi will give some hard money. The other juniors were also very envious of this errand, but the sunspot was clever, and as soon as Gu Chengyu came in, he stepped forward.
Gu Chengyu returned to the room, feeling a little tired, and after Xiao Er brought the hot water and took a bath, he fell asleep.
Sun Xian and the others didn't come back until the next day, and when Gu Chengyu woke up, it was already past the time of Shen. In the house, because the space is small and it is still very hot, Gu Chengyu doesn't sleep much, and he is awake half the time in one night, but fortunately he brought some mosquito repellent herbs, otherwise it would be too late to fight mosquitoes.
Tidying himself up, Gu Chengyu sat at the table refreshed and read the book.
"Childe! Do you want to eat something to cushion your stomach first? Sun Gongzi and Ye Gongzi haven't woken up yet! "Mingmo had already come back when Gu Chengyu was sleeping.
"No, I'm not hungry yet, let's eat together when they wake up! How's the arrangement of the two shops over there? Gu Chengyu bought the shop he was optimistic about last time, and also bought a smaller one, ready to open a pinzhai.
"It's all set up, and the people have bought it. The master chefs are all learning the dishes, and in another ten days, it should be able to open. "Mingmo has been running with Yu Paralytic for the past two days, so she is very clear about the progress of the restaurant and pastry shop.
"Transfer a few people from your T-shaped generation to come over, and go to the capital to watch first. The girl doesn't need to be adjusted, I have other uses. Tell Gu Wanqian to learn, and when we go back, the capital will rely on him to support it. ”
The T-shaped generation is Gu Chengyu's focus on training, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, and it is not yet time to use them. Gu Wanqian has almost learned, and now he just needs to find a backer in the capital.
He remembered his senior brother, and when he came, the teacher gave him two posts, which were from his senior brother and the third senior brother, saying that he could ask them for help if he had something. But before the township exam, he was not going to go to the house to pay a visit.
His eldest brother is Yin Kun, the right deputy envoy of the Supervision Yuan, who is the third product; The second senior brother Wu An was released as the prefect of Dingchuan Mansion, and he was the fourth product; The last one is He Jisheng, the Qing of Honglu Temple, which is also the fourth product. It stands to reason that as soon as Gu Chengyu came to the capital, he would personally visit the two senior brothers in the capital, but Gu Chengyu felt that it was better to avoid suspicion because he was going to take the township exam.
Besides, his teacher didn't make a big deal about him when he accepted him, so not many people actually knew about it. Gu Chengyu didn't want to find out what was wrong before the autumn season, so he only planned to wait for the exam to be over before going to visit in person, and only asked Yu Paralytic to take Mingmo to various mansions to give gifts.
During the apprenticeship, the three senior brothers could not leave the capital and the place, so they all called the steward to give gifts. But Gu Chengyu knew that it was all for the teacher's sake, and there was no friendship with him. Of course, no matter how you say it, you are still a senior brother, and you still have to move around more.
"Mingmo, call thousands to see me!"
Since Yu Paralytic and Gu Wanqian came to the capital, they also lived in Qunying Building, but they lived in the middle room, and the upper room was already full.
In the Juxiang Building in the capital, Gu Chengyu plans to add more dishes. After all, the capital is prosperous and there are many restaurants, if there is no distinctiveness, I am afraid that it will not be tenable.
"Uncle! You call me? Gu Wanqian entered the house and saluted Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu glanced at Gu Wanqian, although Gu Wanqian is still a teenager now, his temperament is becoming more and more calm.
"You call someone to inquire about Yin Kun, the right deputy imperial envoy of the Supervision Yuan, and He Jisheng, the secretary of Honglu Temple, and inquire about all the things in their mansions, come back and forth to me!" Gu Chengyu wanted to find a backer, but he didn't know the character of the two senior brothers.
He is going to give a share, but he also has to find a reliable one, if it is a greedy one, then he is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
