Chapter 378: A Poor Scholar in the Downtown Area

The fastest update of the latest chapter of the farmer's road to making a fortune!

When it came to Deshen, Gu Chengyu and the others were scattered. The time when the official should be Mao is the second quarter of the hour, and the next day is the Shen Zhengsan value, that is, the four o'clock in the previous life, which is the hour after the spring equinox.

The time before the vernal equinox remains unchanged, and the time of the scatter value is adjusted to the beginning of the Shen time, which is half an hour earlier.

By the time Gu Chengyu arrived at the gate of the palace, Ming Yan was already waiting here with a carriage. Ye Zhiqiu hadn't arrived yet, and Gu Chengyu planned to wait for him to go with him.

Ye Zhiqiu's office was a little far away from Gu Chengyu, so the two made an appointment to wait outside.

"Sir, there's pastry on the wagon." When Ming Yan saw Gu Chengyu enter the carriage, he remembered that the subordinates of the Yin Mansion often said that his family was always hungry after the end of duty, so pastries were always prepared on the carriage to eat.

Gu Chengyu couldn't cry or laugh, there was a lot of food sent by Ming Yan at noon, and everyone was eaten, and the plates were piled high, but Gu Chengyu didn't eat much, and it all went into the stomachs of his colleagues.

"Let Liang's mother not prepare so much next time, it's not good to get used to it."

It's still the same sentence, Shengmi Endou Mi hate, it's rare to have a treat, of course others are grateful, if you invite it every day, it will become a habit.

When the dishes are not good on any day, or you don't bring enough on that day, you can't say that you will have an opinion.

Ming Yan hurriedly responded, the adults of his family have been coming to the Hanlin Academy for four days, not to mention others, there are four people in a room, and the adults should have figured out the temperament of other people a long time ago. So, as long as adults know what to expect.

"That's right, sir. In the past two days, I have listened to the porter and said that there are often people wandering around in front of the house. The porter wanted to go up and ask, but the man hurried away, and he didn't say who he was looking for, but he kept coming around, which was really strange! ”

Gu Chengyu was also a little strange when he heard this, if he was looking for someone, he should ask the concierge directly, what was the matter with not coming to the door, but coming around? If it's that thief, even if you step on it during the day, you can't be so blatant, right?

"You tell the porter to keep an eye on it, and if you run into it again, stop the person and ask him, but look at the person? Tell me more about it. ”

"It is said that it is a man in his fifties, and he should be a poor person when he looks at his clothes. The previous child had brought a woman with her, but the woman had not come for the past two days, so the man came and walked around alone. ”

Ming Yan didn't see anyone either, this was all from the porter.

Gu Chengyu also knew that he couldn't ask anything if he asked this, and he still had to see it to know. Therefore, I instructed Ming Yan to wait for the next time I came, and after asking the porter to ask clearly, I didn't pay attention to it.

"Jinyu! I'm late. Ye Zhiqiu hurried over, and was a little embarrassed when he saw that Ming Yan was already waiting.

His mother recently took some work from the second aunt and grandmother of the Gu family, which was not too eye-wrenching and paid a high salary. said that he would buy him a carriage in a few days, and he blushed himself when he always rubbed the Gu family's carriage, although Jinyu would not mind.

"It's not too late, I've just arrived." Gu Chengyu said with a smile to Ye Zhiqiu, who got into the car.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the decoration in Gu Chengyu's carriage and sighed in his heart, if his family bought it, he could only buy the simple one.

A horse in the Dayan Dynasty costs about twenty taels of silver, which is not a good horse, and the silver money of some good horses will not be the same, and those good horses can be sold for a hundred taels of silver!

So, Ye Zhiqiu is worried! Coupled with the carriage, a carriage costs at least twenty-three taels, which are all bought according to the cheapest, and his mother has already asked someone. Besides, his family bought a carriage, who will drive it! You can't buy a coachman for this, right?

If he drives the carriage himself, where will he put it after the end of the day? These are all problems.

Gu Chengyu was a little strange about Ye Zhiqiu's absent-mindedness, could it be that he had a problem serving in the Hanlin Academy? It's only been a few days since I've been here, so shouldn't I? Even he was given some inconsequential work, and he easily dozed off every day.

"Senior Brother Ye, what's the difficulty?" Gu Chengyu just asked tentatively, after all, if it was a matter of the Hanlin Academy, some tasks were encrypted, and no one could disclose them.

"No, I'm just thinking that if I buy a carriage at home, no one will drive it!" Ye Zhiqiu and Gu Chengyu have known each other for many years, so they don't hide it.

Gu Chengyu thought he was worrying about something, but it turned out to be such a thing. He knew that Ye Zhiqiu rode his carriage every day, and he was a little reluctant to go. But everyone knows the situation of the Ye family, even if they buy a carriage with all the money in the family, they can't find anyone to drive him!

Don't think about buying a coachman, buying someone costs money, where to live after buying? The Ye family is still renting a small courtyard, with only three rooms, and there is no place to live at all. I have to pay a monthly fee, which is really worth the loss.

Besides, Mother Ye is a widow, so the coachman can't live on the street after buying it, right? Ye Zhiqiu has to go to work during the day, and the coachman must not live under the same roof as Ye's mother, just two people, isn't that gossiping?

In fact, Gu Chengyu wanted to persuade, but he had to consider his words and tone. In this ancient world, he could see a lot of the arrogance of the scholars, but he didn't say anything that made Ye Zhiqiu lose face.

"If you want me to say, it's better to wait, anyway, I have to go back every day, and I'm going to wait for you by the way, and it's not too late to buy it in the future! At that time, this problem may be solved, and you don't need to worry about it. ”

Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly: "That's the only way, I'll have to bother you for the next few days." ”

Gu Chengyu hurriedly reassured again and again that he would not be troublesome, and at the same time sighed in his heart. He had long known that Ye Zhiqiu was sensitive, and it was because of such a temperament that he didn't want to have deep friendships.

But the world is unpredictable, and in the end, I still became classmates and friends, and now it is the same year. That's why the fate of people and people is so strange.

In fact, picking up Ye Zhiqiu every day, this coming and going, it was delayed for half an hour. Although there is more than one carriage in the Gu Mansion, Ye Zhiqiu can be picked up and dropped off by one alone, and Ye Zhiqiu will definitely not agree.

Gu Chengyu's carriage passed through the downtown area, and although it was time for dinner, the market was still very lively.

"Fuck off, you still want to come to the guest house without money? Do you think this is your land? I haven't paid for two days, and I still want to live, it's really unlucky, look at your poor and sour look, the family is a poor three, and even have the dream of being a big official. ”

Gu Chengyu and the others suddenly heard a scolding, Gu Chengyu opened the curtain and looked to the left.

It was found that it was the shopkeeper of an inn, and drove a man and a woman who looked like scholars to the outside of the inn, and threw several bags outside, probably the scholar's bag.

One of the burdens was scattered, and inside were a few worn-out books, and even the pen and ink were scattered and stained with dust.

The scholar didn't have time to argue, so he quickly picked up the book on the ground, and after seeing that it was not damaged, he breathed a sigh of relief.
