Chapter 41 Watching the Cow Shopkeeper

"Huh?" The shopkeeper Niu was a little stunned, and he didn't understand why he was talking about the mountain bandits just now, why he suddenly talked about this again.

"Oh! It's rented! The shopkeeper Niu came back to his senses and glanced at Gu Chengyu strangely.

"The cattle shopkeeper can't make a few dollars a year here, right? Especially the alley behind this inn, I'm afraid it will stop a lot of business! ”

The old face of the shopkeeper called Gu Chengyu red, and the inn where the scholar came to take the exam was very important, and the most important thing was to be clean! But if there are so many beauties living in the alley behind, a man can't stand it when he opens the window every day and watches it. Over time, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and people who read books don't like to come here, of course, they may not dare to come here!

His inn is actually not a big place, and there are only five upper rooms, and the others are medium rooms and lower rooms, and the shops, these collect little silver, and the location is somewhat remote, not by the tribute courtyard, and not by the wharf, so naturally the business is deserted!

"Don't be angry when you say that! It's just that the cattle shopkeeper is willing to nest in this place for a lifetime? "Actually, Gu Chengyu saw that the shopkeeper Niu was quite sleek in business, and he was not an unprincipled person, he also wanted to open a restaurant in Fucheng, so it was better to let the shopkeeper Niu do things for him, he would give him more silver.

"What does Childe mean?" The shopkeeper stared wide-eyed, could it be that what he thought?

"Of course, I want to ask the cattle shopkeeper to do things for me, I want to open a restaurant, and there is a lack of a shopkeeper, I don't know what the cattle shopkeeper is willing to do?" Although Gu Chengyu doesn't know much about the temperament of the cattle shopkeeper at present, the restaurants all have another accounting room, and he is interested in the ability of the cattle shopkeeper.

"Is that true?" The shopkeeper Niu felt a little incredible, in fact, he could earn two hundred taels of silver a year in addition to the rent of this restaurant. Their family of three is enough, and he doesn't have to be taken care of here, but when he arrives at Gu Chengyu, he is just a person who works for people, and he is a little hesitant!

"The cow shopkeeper doesn't have to rush back to me! I'm going to stay in Fucheng for a few days, and when I'm gone, it's too late for you to reply!" Gu Chengyu had already expected that the shopkeeper would hesitate, after all, he had changed from being his own boss to working for others, and if he gave it to some people, he wouldn't even consider it.

"Then I'm sorry! I have to think about it! ”

"The matter of the thief, there is the shopkeeper of Lao Niu, I am a scholar, I don't want to get involved in this matter! You truthfully returned to Governor Jiang's mansion. I'm out of company first! After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs!

It's nice to have a talent, but if people aren't happy, he can't force it. He didn't want to draw a big pie for him, so it depended on how the cow shopkeeper chosen!

The shopkeeper Niu looked at Gu Chengyu's back as he went upstairs, this son has an extraordinary bearing, but looking at the classmates around him, none of them are the sons of big families, and they are not expected to be the sons of a family. However, it is true that there is no shortage of silver in the family, but he doesn't know if he will have a future in the future with Gu Gongzi.

The cattle shopkeeper looked up at this inn, did he really want to stay here for the rest of his life? He hesitated in his heart, but finally decided to inquire carefully and make a plan!

Gu Chengyu was sitting in the No. 8 examination room, looking at the exam papers in front of him. This is the second one, and the main test is essays. Essays are much like modern prose, except that they are spoken in classical Chinese.

There is no format required on the exam paper here, only a landscape essay.

Gu Chengyu thought about it for a while, and wrote the beginning on scratch paper, "From the hillock to the west for one hundred and twenty steps, across the bamboo, smelling the sound of water, such as the sound of the ring, the heart is happy ......" This thought a lot, and made a slight revision while writing, so that the whole essay was written in the afternoon.

After reading it and picking up the pen for a little polishing, I copied it to the test paper.

This time, Gu Chengyu didn't wait for anyone to hand in the paper first, he was the first to pull the bell, and the candidates in the opposite row were still thinking about it!

Gu Chengyu walked out of the tribute courtyard and saw Mingmo and Gu Wanqian standing outside.

"Childe came out so early?" Mingmo was a little surprised that Gu Chengyu came out so quickly, he thought that he would have to wait for at least half an hour.

You don't need to wait for the government exam to be released, and after you finish writing, you can go out as long as you hand in the exam papers!

Gu Chengyu glanced at Gu Wanqian, and saw that his face was a little happy, thinking that it was done!

"Uncle! That's it! Gu Wanqian's voice was brisk, this was the joy that emanated from the heart.

"Go back to the inn!" Gu Chengyu glanced at the family members who were standing at the gate of the Gongyuan Courtyard waiting for the candidates to come out, and raised his hand to stop Gu Wanqian from continuing to speak. If there is something about the mountain bandits, it is better to be cautious and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!

Gu Wanqian was stunned, and then immediately responded: "Hey! ”

Gu Chengyu found a secluded place, and waited for more than an hour before a few people got together. This time, Gu Wanhua didn't say anything more, the essay can be written, but whether the writing is good or bad, there is no standard answer.

"Childe! The owner of the restaurant agreed to pay two hundred taels less, which was already the lowest. As for the shop, the master was only willing to pay thirty taels less, and that was the price I had finally negotiated. As soon as Gu Wanqian returned to the inn, he was in Gu Chengyu's room and told the final price.

He looked at Gu Chengyu nervously, he could only talk about this. At the beginning, when he went to the tooth shop to take him, those masters didn't even look at him, or he later said all the good things, plus he knew it with affection and moved with reason.

In the end, he took out a killer idea, saying that if they don't sell it, and the son won't buy it, they will have to go back after the exam in the next two days, and their shop may not be able to sell it at such a price! The main family made a concession at this time, probably because Mingmo was too eager to make them think that they had to buy it.

"Hmmm! The price is still in the past, I'll go with you tomorrow to take a look, and buy it as soon as possible! Gu Chengyu took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it to Gu Wanqian.

"Take it! Go back and buy some good tonic for your milk! "If you say a good reward, of course Gu Chengyu will give it!

Gu Wanqian didn't refuse, he needed this silver, and he still needed medicine.

There was no word all night, and it was time for the case to happen tomorrow.

"Childe! You're number one this time! Ming Mo ran over excitedly, ignoring the messy bun, and said to Gu Chengyu.

"Huh? You can't just look at Uncle! What about ours? But too much? Ah! No way! I'll squeeze in and see! Gu Wanhua saw that Mingmo squeezed out as soon as he entered, and he thought that he must not have seen their rankings, and he didn't know if he could pass this time, he remembered that he squeezed into the crowd.

"Oops! Master Hua! I forgot, I'll squeeze in and take a look. After Mingmo finished speaking, he squeezed in again.

Gu Wanhua doesn't know kung fu, and he only went in and squeezed it later, how could it be so easy to squeeze in? No, it didn't take long for the crowd to squeeze out.

"You can stay here in peace! Mingmo will help you see clearly. Gu Chengyu held down Gu Wanhua, who still wanted to squeeze, and said to a few people.

"Seiyu! You're amazing, you're number one again! Ye Zhiqiu has always admired Gu Chengyu, and being able to stand in the first or second place all the time really makes him want to be jealous, but he can't be jealous.
