Chapter Ninety-Nine: Failure to Eat!
"Xie Qingyu, why haven't you seen you for a few days, and you don't even know your old friends." Yun Jinyu's sharp eyes also saw Xie Qingyu, he and Nangong Chengyu also came to Gusu just now, and as soon as they entered the city, they could hear that at the banquet for female officials and candidates last night, Xie Qingyu won the leader of the sixteen cities in Jiangnan with the strength of one person.
Now I see that Xie Qingyu's growth is really very rapid, originally a person who couldn't even save his own mother, but today he has become a hot figure in the entire Jiangnan, it seems that the choice of the son of the day was not wrong.
Nangong Chengyu slowly walked out from behind Yun Jinyu at this time, wearing a dark silk shirt, with a wide belt of Buddha head and blue spider pattern tied around his waist, his deep eyes still made it impossible to see what he was thinking at the moment, his body was tall, and he was still so lofty.
"I don't know what the prince has to do when he comes to Gusu City now?" Xie Qingyu saw that Nangong Chengyu didn't take the initiative to talk to him, so he took the initiative to talk, and his voice was lowered a lot.
The last time I lurked in Jiangning, I was arresting the spies in southern Xinjiang, and now the spies in southern Xinjiang in Jiangnan have been pulled out, and I don't know what to do in Gusu City this time.
Thinking about Xie Qingyu like this, his stomach screamed softly, making Xie Qingyu, who was looking at Nangong Chengyu, extremely embarrassed.
"There's something wrong with it." Nangong Chengyu said lightly, then turned around and walked in front of Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu knew that Nangong Chengyu was cold, so he didn't care, but now Nangong Chengyu is the son of Wu'an Hou, with a high position, rich and powerful, the point is that he is rich!
Now it's okay, Nangong Chengyu is now a living walking thigh in the eyes of Xie Qingyu, so naturally he has to be a good stutter.
A few people then entered a restaurant, Xie Qingyu had eaten in the morning, and now in the afternoon, his stomach was already hungry.
Now when I arrived at the restaurant, there were two big Buddha pestles in front of me, it must be Nangong Chengyu who paid for it, she felt that she was still very generous in Xie Mansion before, but now she came to Gusu but she was reluctant to spend a penny, and she saved as much as she could.
I can really save a lot of money by following a meal now!
Although there is still more than a year before the two years, but this medicine is not so easy to find after all, and the medicine introduction heard Jiang Zhiyang say that it is very expensive, and he does not dare to spend more than a cent except for the necessary money, and now he is not in Jiangning, and there is no way to get money, and he has to save it.
That's why she followed into the restaurant so cheekily, wanting to have a meal.
"Xie Qingyu, I knew that your poetry was very good, but yesterday's fifty poems are really impressive" Yun Jinyu has always been very interested in poetry, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to make ten poems in an instant.
"But that's it, it's not too difficult for me." Xie Qingyu listened to Yun Jinyu's words, and said very confidently that poetry was just a small matter for her, a student of the Chinese department.
"Are you ready for the exam?" Nangong Chengyu looked at Xie Qingyu's radiant appearance, and also asked about the situation of the Jiucai exam.
"Rest assured, I am bound to win the leader of Jiangnan." Xie Qingyu only looked up at Nangong Chengyu at this time, and his peach blossom eyes were full of brilliance.
After a while, the food came up, and Xie Qingyu started to eat, and secretly sighed that the restaurant is a restaurant, and the taste is really different from what is eaten in the examination hall.
Nangong Chengyu's face was also expressionless at the moment, but there seemed to be a smile in the depths of his eyes, but it soon disappeared again.
Xie Qingyu quickly finished eating, looking at the wind and clouds on the table, he was still a little embarrassed for a while.
"If there is anything to do in the past few days, you can come to the Yongning Courtyard in the south of the city to find me." After Nangong Chengyu said this, she and Yun Jinyu left in a hurry, and she didn't have time to ask if the money for this meal was given.
She thought that she would definitely give it and wanted to leave the restaurant directly, but she was about to go out but was stopped by Xiao Er.
"Guest officer, your meal money has not yet been settled."
Xie Qingyu cursed Nangong Chengyu a thousand times in his heart at this moment, brought himself to eat but didn't give money, but left first, and now let himself give the money for this meal, knowing that he might as well go back to the examination hall to eat.
It doesn't cost much to eat here, so I took out five taels of silver and threw it on the table of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper of the restaurant raised his eyes and looked at it, shook his head and said.
"Not enough!"
"It's not enough for five taels of silver! That's it, I'll give you seven taels of silver. Xie Qingyu took out two taels of silver from his waist and put them on the counter.
"It's still not enough, I said do you have any money." The shopkeeper was also impatient at this time, and asked directly.
"Then how much do you think these dishes cost?" Xie Qingyu thought about Nangong Chengyu, and his attitude towards the restaurant owner was also a little worse.
"Thirty-five taels of silver." The boss glanced up and down at Xie Qingyu, he is a Sven person, why do you still want to eat the overlord meal today!
"What thing actually costs thirty-five taels of silver!" Xie Qingyu heard the number of silver, and only shouted Nangong Chengyu, a loser! In the past few days, she has spent less than ten taels of silver on frugality, and now Nangong Chengyu has directly spent thirty-five taels on a meal.
"Three taels of silver for vinegar fish in West Lake, four taels of silver for Ruyi roll, two taels of silver for chestnut cake......" The shopkeeper ignored her anymore, and just talked about what Xie Qingyu had just eaten.
"Okay, okay, don't read it."
Xie Qingyu took out the silver directly from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper, turned around and went out directly.
Damn Nangong Chengyu, don't be caught by me next time!
"If you don't have any money, you can just go home!" After the shopkeeper saw Xie Qingyu leave, he muttered directly.
At this time, Nangong Chengyu, who was in the distance, suddenly sneezed.
"Shizi, but how many days have you had a cold?" Yun Jinyu suddenly sneezed when she saw Nangong Chengyu, and thought that the prince had been traveling overnight in the past few days and had a cold.
At this time, after Nangong Chengyu sneezed, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have something to do, but he really couldn't remember what he hadn't done.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard the people eating inside, talking about yesterday's banquet for female officials, she didn't expect that after yesterday's banquet, she would become so famous.
After returning to the hut, he found that his roommate had not returned, so Xie Qingyu didn't think much about it, and directly packed up his baggage.
It was filled with all the clothes that her mother had brought to her before she left, just a few dresses and a few books.
There are less than ten days left before the Jiucai exam, and I don't know what kind of questions she will draw in the first round, if it is something on those instruments, she can still force it to play, but if she draws chess, then she really has no choice.
I have also practiced privately in Xie Mansion before, but the effect is not very obvious, and now like this, I can only pray that God can draw some of the subjects she is good at, and she will be good at the last scripture.
Although Master Zhang taught himself in strategy and poetry before, Master once said that the literary test is always changing, but it is just a change of rhetoric.
And in modern times, I once heard the teacher talk about the content of the ancient imperial examination in class, which is the item of interpretation, which is actually a sentence in the ancient text written with my own understanding.
However, a strategy is a debate written on paper, and the meaning of the scriptures is just a way to write the meaning of the original text according to one's own understanding.
Thinking like this, Xie Qingyu directly took out a book from his baggage and read it.
And yesterday I heard what the prefect said, he should be the one who invigilated the exam, and the results will be announced after the basic exam, and Zhu Jiuzhang, the prefect of Gusu, seems to have been tested by Jingyi back then, so he served as the chief examiner this time.
Xie Qingyu looked at it like this, and her eyelids became increasingly groggy and fell asleep, this sleep seemed to have been sleeping for a long time, and when she woke up, it was already early in the morning of the second day.
I turned my eyes to the small bed next to me and found that there was still no one, whether this person had not come back at all, or had already gotten up early and left.
After Xie Qingyu got up, she began to practice calligraphy, although she herself has practiced calligraphy, but it is indeed not popular in this era, these two days to Gusu has been rarely time to practice, and the posture is also a little unstable when writing.
I don't know if the letter was delivered to Asaaki, and I don't know if Asaaki understood what she wrote.
Thinking like this, Xie Qingyu was distracted, and when he put down the pen, he accidentally knocked over the inkstone, and the ink was spilled everywhere for a while.
After Xie Qingyu put down the brush casually, he was also a little restless, and there was always a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.
After cleaning up the house, Xie Qingyu put away the brush, it was already noon, and the inn hall was still noisy, but in the crowd, Xie Qingyu saw a familiar figure at a glance.
Qin Zixuan, who came and went without a trace.
Xie Qingyu immediately walked straight over, sat down, and said to the shopkeeper that he would serve two more side dishes.
"Miss Qin, we met again today." Xie Qingyu was quite familiar with it, so he sat opposite Qin Zixuan and casually greeted him.
After Qin Zixuan saw Xie Qingyu, she smiled slightly and said.
"Miss Xie, we are very fateful, and we can meet every day these days." Qin Zixuan casually poured a cup of tea for Xie Qingyu, but she didn't expect that it was Xie Qingyu who poured tea for herself yesterday, and today it was upside down.
"It's not fate, I live here." Xie Qingyu took the tea, took a sip lightly, and said very calmly.
After Qin Zixuan heard this, a moment of surprise flashed on her face, and then she remembered something again, so she chuckled.
"What a coincidence, I live here."
This time it was Xie Qingyu's turn to be surprised, no wonder they could meet Qin Zixuan every day when they had lunch, it turned out that they were staying in an inn.
"I saw that you were in the same place with the eldest lady of the Lu family the day before yesterday, shouldn't you live with your eldest sister and them?" Qin Zixuan asked curiously as if she had remembered something.
The eldest lady of the Lu family is famous in Gusu City, but no one knows who knows, and it started from Jiangning, and the relationship with the Xie family has always been good.
Xie Qingyu only smiled bitterly when he heard this, and just shook his head for a while, and never answered Qin Zixuan's question positively.
Qin Zixuan looked at Xie Qingyu like this, and also had a guess in her heart, her sister Xie Youruo was so difficult for her that day, but Xie Qingyu overwhelmed Qunfang with the power of one person, presumably moving out today must be Xie Youruo's handiwork.
At this time, the shopkeeper also came up with the dishes, and the two immediately chatted casually, and then Qin Zixuan said that he had something to do, so he went out.
