Chapter 142: The Deer Feast
"No, I have been away from home for the longest time, I participated in the Luming banquet, and after the restaurant opens, I plan to leave for Jingyuan Mansion."
It's been almost two months since I left home, Gu Chengyu is quite homesick, and besides, the free of Qunying Building is only until the day of the Luming Banquet, and if you want to live again, you will have to spend money.
He doesn't care, but Sun Xian and the others are afraid that it will be difficult to burden, after all, the upper room of Qunying Building costs five taels of silver a night!
"It's good! I'm going to school in the capital in a little more than a month, do you live in the house or do you come to live in the house? ”
Gu Chengyu was not surprised after hearing this, Yin Kun treated him as his own family, which was much better than He Jisheng, He Jisheng was completely face-saving to him.
However, he can't be blamed for this, they have only met once, and they are not familiar with each other, and it is unlikely that people will care for him.
"I'd better buy a house outside! I'm not familiar with the capital, and I want to ask my brother to pay attention to it! "Whether you live in a house or outside, buying a yard in the capital is a must.
There are still three years to be in the spring, if he passes the examination, he plans to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, if he is lucky enough to be admitted to the first class, he can also be directly ordered to be revised or edited.
The Dayan Dynasty had a rule that "non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet", and Shu Jishi was known as the "prime minister". As long as you become a chuckus or are directly ordered to edit and edit, you will have the opportunity to rise to the top.
Gu Chengyu is naturally also going towards this, in addition to the military position and title, I am afraid that the biggest official is the prefect.
"I know that your kid has silver, so I'll let the house pay attention to it. However, you are not an official now, I am afraid that you can only buy a yard in the south, how big do you want? ”
Yin Kun looked at Gu Chengyu and said with a smile, he knew that Gu Chengyu was rich! The dry shares of the restaurant, I'm afraid that he can get a lot of silver for the two percent he is given. The Juxiang Building in Jingyuan Mansion, he has already heard of it!
"Senior brother, look at it and buy it! It's as big as your house! Gu Chengyu actually thinks that this is a little smaller, if he becomes an official in the future, he will have to buy it again on North Street, so it is better to buy a smaller one.
"You don't have a small appetite, what? Do you think my house is too small? Don't you know, this is the north, and the people who live there are nobles and nobles, and the noble mansion can occupy half a street to the south. ”
Yin Kun took a sip of tea, nodded Gu Chengyu and said with a smile.
"It's not easy to buy a bigger house in the north, it's all occupied, and those with low official positions can't buy it even if they want to. If you can buy it, it is a coincidence that someone is going to sell it. However, if you can get the mansion of the royal gift, it will be different. ”
Gu Chengyu didn't know that it was not easy to buy a house in the north. The mansion of the imperial gift, he couldn't even think about it, it had to be a celebrity in front of the saint, and it had to be a meritorious person! Then when he became an official in the future, he could only live in the south?
"Then I'd better buy a bigger one! I guess I won't be able to buy a house in the north in the future! ”
"The mansion on the back of this house will be vacant almost every year, what are you afraid of?" Yin Kun said meaningfully.
Gu Chengyu was a little strange, didn't he say just now that it was not easy to buy?
Seeing Gu Chengyu's puzzled eyes, Yin Kun explained: "Every year, there are officials who commit crimes, either taking bribes, or greedy for ink, or having other mistakes, the house is vacant like this, and a house like this can sometimes be touched." However, it depends on whether you have the ability to live in it! ”
Gu Chengyu wanted to ask again, but when he saw Yin Kun waving his hand, he thought that he would not talk further, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
"Okay, I won't leave you to eat today, you can go back to the inn first! I'm afraid that the second junior brother and the third junior brother will send someone to congratulate them! ”
Gu Chengyu rushed to the inn in the carriage of the Yin Mansion, afraid that the people from the Wu Mansion and the He Mansion had already arrived at the inn.
"Uncle, you are here, your other two senior brothers have sent gifts to congratulate, and they have already taken it."
Gu Wanqian didn't go out today, the stewards of the two families sent congratulatory gifts, Gu Chengyu happened to be absent, Mingmo and they were just entourages after all, and Gu Wanqian personally came forward to entertain them.
"Already gone?" Gu Chengyu asked as he walked towards the room.
"It's not a coincidence that I just left!"
"Since we have sent a congratulatory gift, then we have to pay a visit before we leave the capital! I've written the post, you can send it today, tomorrow the restaurant opens, I won't go, I'm going to attend the Luming banquet. The day after tomorrow, we will visit our home, and then we will leave for home. ”
"Yes!" Gu Wanqian answered and followed Gu Chengyu into the room.
The next day was the Luming Banquet, Gu Chengyu and the others packed up early, and when they saw that the hour was almost up, they went happily.
Gu Chengyu When they arrived, most of the people had already arrived, and they found their respective seats and sat down.
"Look, this is the solution of this township test!" One of them said to the people next to him.
"So young?" The person next to him asked in surprise.
"Gu Chengyu, you still don't know each other? It's now famous. Someone next to him joined the conversation.
"I heard about it some time ago, but I didn't expect it to really become a solution, on the day he competed with the three major talents in Jiangnan, I was also watching from the sidelines, it was really amazing!"
"That's it! Not good enough to be admitted to Xie Yuan? It's only eleven this year! He is Dayan's youngest lifter. ”
Gu Chengyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, he seems to have become a celebrity everywhere he goes, and everyone is pointing fingers at him.
"Senior Brother Gu! Congratulations to Senior Brother Gu for becoming Xie Yuan! Min Feng didn't know when he came to Gu Chengyu's side and congratulated Gu Chengyu.
"Rejoice! Rejoice! Gu Chengyu hurriedly stood up and saluted back.
"Senior Brother Gu is really high, and he sincerely admires him." Min Feng and Gu Chengyu chatted a few words, and Huang Junheng walked over here.
At this time, it happened that Lord Fu Yin was seated, and everyone quieted down. Then the seat master, the house master and the promotion officer all sat down one after another.
During the banquet, the song of "Deer Song" was played, followed by the reading of the song of "Deer Song". Then it's time to pay homage to the master, the house master and the promoter.
Gu Chengyu is Xie Yuan, and he starts first.
The master is Fang Huai, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and Fang Huai and Gu Chengyu have met before. However, the two did not talk much at that time.
"When I saw you before, the official thought you were a talented person. At a young age, I have already been admitted to the lifting of people, and I am afraid that the future is limitless! ”
Later, Fang Huai glanced at Gu Chengyu, smiled and said some words of encouragement, and gave the identity certificate of the person and twenty taels of silver for the water and land archway.
Fang Huai felt that Gu Chengyu, as a student from the north, would definitely have a lot of contradictions with the students of Jiangnan and the officials in Jiangnan in the future.
It's a pity that the holy body is good and bad, and he trusts that person very much, which is really hateful!
