The next day, Gu Chengyu entered the inn from outside the door refreshed! He also carried a packet of donkey meat in sauce, which he intended to bring to everyone to taste.

On a spring morning, the sky is not yet dawn, and it looks a little hazy.

"Gu Xiaocaizi, went out so early?" As soon as Gu Chengyu crossed the threshold, he heard the voice of the shopkeeper Jiang on the other side of the counter.

In fact, since they moved in, the shopkeeper Jiang has taken good care of them, and they don't need to call for hot water every day, and Xiao Er has already mentioned the room. The food in the inn is not cheap, every time he orders, the shopkeeper Jiang always gives more money, Gu Chengyu knows that it is all for the sake of the face of the shopkeeper Liu of the Rejuvenation Hall.

"Shopkeeper Jiang is really early!" Gu Chengyu saluted to Shopkeeper Jiang, and suddenly remembered that they had not paid for the room until they entered the inn, although Shopkeeper Jiang had mentioned that they did not need to give it first, and they would give it on the day they went back. But after all, people open the door to do business, and they are not bad for silver, so they still gave it earlier.

"The kid forgot to ask the shopkeeper about something, we haven't given the house money and meal money since we moved in, please count the shopkeeper and see how much silver it is."

"In fact, I don't hide it from the little genius that the money for this house has been paid by the shopkeeper Liu, and it doesn't need to be spent by the little talent." Shopkeeper Jiang smiled and said.

Shopkeeper Liu didn't know that so many people would come to this exam, so he gave Shopkeeper Jiang fifty taels of silver. But before leaving, I told Shopkeeper Jiang that I would return more and make up less, so Shopkeeper Jiang naturally didn't want to accept Gu Chengyu's silver anymore.

"How does this work? Our guest house, how can there be a reason to let the shopkeeper Liu pay the silver? No, you still return the money of Shopkeeper Liu to him, and we will pay the money ourselves. Gu Chengyu had already seen the wooden sign hanging on the opposite wall, and the prices of the rooms on it were clearly marked.

The lower room is 300 wen a night, the middle room is 500 wen, and the upper room is 800 wen. The price difference between the three rooms is a bit big, of course, the decoration and comfort of the room are also very different, and this inn does not have that kind of Chase shop, so most of the people who come in to live are at home.

Gu Chengyu calculated, they would live for about ten days, and the four first-class rooms were 32 taels, minus Erlang's room for a few days, it would be more than twenty-seven taels. This is really not unknowing, I was shocked when I counted it, not to mention the consumption of food, so much it is not good to make Shopkeeper Liu pay the silver.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's hard to explain to Shopkeeper Liu! "Shopkeeper Jiang is also a little embarrassed, Shopkeeper Liu repeatedly instructed when he left, he can't accept the Gu family's silver.

"Little treasure! Why haven't you come up yet? It's almost time to go! Seeing that Gu Chengyu hadn't come back, Father Gu was a little anxious and prepared to go downstairs to find it. Who knows, as soon as he went downstairs, he heard Gu Chengyu's voice.

"It's coming! Then let's wait until I'm done with today's exam! Gu Chengyu saw that the hour was not early, so he went upstairs.

"Then I wish the little talent to win the championship in the county test here!" The results of the exam in the past few days, Shopkeeper Jiang has also heard about it, and he has to praise it, some people are talented in reading, and at present, this Gu Chengyu is the most promising to become the head of the county.

"Seiyu! This time it's the last one, and we'll be ranked after the exam, so we can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being. Sun Xian thought about it, it was not easy for him to persist until now, most of the fifth game would not brush people down, but just thinking of meeting the examiner, he couldn't stop being nervous.

Also nervous are Ye Zhiqiu and others, Ye Zhiqiu is not good at words, he is a little shy, he is afraid that he will meet the examiner, so nervous that he can't even speak.

"Yes! It's just the last one, everyone doesn't have to be nervous, play their own level, let's meet together in April's government exam! ”

Gu Chengyu's words brought them a beautiful vision, and everyone said that they must take the test well.

This fifth oral doctrine does not need to bring a test basket, but is just a verbal narrative. The examiner asks questions about the meaning of ink, and the candidates express their understanding and answers verbally.

This time he didn't even need a seat number, Gu Chengyu was the first in the previous game, so he was naturally the first.

Gu Chengyu cleared his throat, and followed the errand into the hall where he was waiting for the platoon, and at this time, the chief examiner Lu Zhixian was already sitting at the top.

"Student Gu Chengyu has seen Lord Zhixian!" Gu Chengyu stepped forward and made a big salute, there was no way, he was not a talent now, and he did not have the honor of not kneeling when he saw an official.

"Get up!" Lu Zhixian glanced at Gu Chengyu up and down, this little baby was delicate, and his demeanor was polite, and he didn't see obvious nervousness in front of him, but he was calm.

Yesterday, what happened at the time of the incident, he had already heard that every year there would be a few candidates who had not taken the exam, and they had no words, but the matter did not make a big fuss, so he went with it, and it was normal to say a few sour words. There are all kinds of people in the world, as long as they are not excessive, he doesn't want to embarrass these candidates.

What's more, as long as the examination papers of the county head are posted on the day the list is released, those voices will naturally disappear.

"Thank you, sir!" Gu Chengyu stood up respectfully and waited for Lu Zhixian to ask questions.

Lu Zhixian didn't say much, and went straight to the point.

"The gentleman is moderate, what is the explanation of the villain's anti-moderation?" Lu Zhixian touched his beard and looked at the immature boy in front of him.

"Back to my lord! This sentence is taken from "The Mean", the original text is Zhong Ni said: "The gentleman is the mean, and the villain is anti-modest......"

The paraphrase is...... The mean is just right, the highest moral standard. ”

"Hmmm! Not bad! Lu Zhixian nodded with satisfaction, this student has a good grasp of Moyi.

Then the second question arises, "Where does a gentleman come from if he does not take ill-gotten gains?" ”

"Ziliu's mother from the "Tan Gong" in the "Book of Rites" died, and Zishuo asked for this paragraph. What you said was ......" Gu Chengyu's crisp child's voice echoed in the hall, his voice was gentle and smiling.

"I see that you are not only very proficient in the Four Books and the Five Classics, but you are also familiar with other books. If I'm not mistaken, you're only eight years old, so how did you memorize these books? ”

Gu Chengyu saw that Lu Zhixian asked about private matters, and expected that this exam should be over.

"Back to my lord! Students have a good memory and can remember the books they have read. ”

"Oh? Are you forgetful? Lu Zhixian was a little surprised, what kind of talent is this?

"Back to my lord! It's not something to forget, but you should be able to remember it after watching it twice, and after a period of time in the future, you have to take it out and review it, otherwise you will forget it. "It's really unforgettable, Gu Chengyu still can't reach it.

"Eh~ I don't know how to be so restrained when talking to me, it's also a great talent to be able to do this, I think your poems are sitting well. All right! This time I will go back and prepare well for the government exam, I hope you can still get a good ranking! Let's go down! ”

This Gu Chengyu's talent is really against the sky, it seems that he will definitely shine in the imperial examination in the future, and he can't say that he will become a colleague in the future. Now we still have a good impression of each other, and we can be regarded as personal connections in the future.

Gu Chengyu also knows that this has passed steadily, and the ranking should be not bad, maybe the county head can still compete!

"That's right! The poem is very well written! When Gu Chengyu stepped out of the hall, Lu Zhixian said a very good sentence. Gu Chengyu looked back, but found that Lu Zhixian had already picked up the tea bowl to drink tea, and the instructor on the side had already called the next one.

Gu Chengyu is the first, and there are still people to refer to below, of course Lu Zhixian will not delay his work too much.
