Then he said to the shopkeeper with red eyes: "The shopkeeper is too dog-eyed to look at people, and he said that the house money will be temporarily credited for two days, and when he finds relatives in the capital, he will come to pay you back, why are you so angry?" ”

The woman also wiped her tears with her sleeve, and was a little at a loss for what was happening in front of her.

The shopkeeper sneered, he has seen a lot of such scholars. Poor students have the dream of becoming a big official in the imperial examination, but they don't know that this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, bringing together talents from all over the world, how easy is it to get ahead?

Every day, students leave their hometowns to study in the capital, but in the end, most of them fail to get into the famous academies in the capital, and the constraints of those small academies are even more expensive. If the Great Academy is good at learning and gets a ranking in the monthly exam, then it will be able to reduce the shackles.

Therefore, those scholars themselves don't have much silver, and they can't afford the expensive shackles of the small academy, so they can only be high or low. But even so, there are many candidates who yearn for those prestigious universities in the capital, like moths to a fire.

Some scholars are so poor that they have to sell books to make ends meet, and he evicted two of them last month. He was also really angry, he was just a small inn, and he couldn't earn much money in a day, and the people and even officials living in the capital knew how big the expenses in the capital were.

It is impossible for him to open a charity hall and let these scholars eat and live for free. At the beginning, some students said that they would take credit for a few days if they had no money, and he also believed it, but in the end, he really couldn't get a penny back, so he naturally couldn't take credit anymore.

It also happened that he was in a bad mood today, and it was like this again, so he spoke ill of him. That's it! Be a man and leave a line, and see each other in the future.

Ye Zhiqiu also saw this situation and sympathized with this scholar very much, because he was also a poor student. He also heard the shopkeeper's scolding of the scholar, and he was very unaccustomed to this vicious word, and he was very angry.

"How can this shopkeeper speak evil? Since the scholar has no money, then drive him away, why humiliate people? ”

Ye Zhiqiu was indignant, and he couldn't wait to ask Ming Yan to stop the carriage and go down to teach the shopkeeper a lesson.

Gu Chengyu also felt that this scolding was really ugly, the scholar has a good face, you are a business shopkeeper, you should know the truth of making money with harmony.

However, Gu Chengyu glanced at the door of the inn and found that it was a small inn, and the red paint on the upper window was about to fall off. This inn is also a small business, if this scholar really has no money, and he still refuses to leave the inn, then he has done too much.

Every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and some small inns are not bought, but rented. The annual profit has to be paid for rent, and there is not much left.

The price of the capital is expensive, and this inn is small, and the money earned is estimated to be not much, so it is naturally impossible for people to live for free.

Even those big inns don't have a reason to be free. Besides, businessmen are heavy on profits, and it is common sense for the shopkeeper to drive people out, but the scolding is too ugly.

However, there are a lot of such things in the capital, and Gu Chengyu didn't plan to stop the carriage to take care of it, after all, it is not necessary to help the poor.

How much silver should you give to you to help? You can't always pay for food and lodging, right? If you just give two days' room money, then the shopkeeper obviously doesn't want it, so it's completely unnecessary.

Hold down Ye Zhiqiu, who wanted to ask Ming Yan to stop, "I don't know how many unjust things in the world are, how can you manage them?" If you really come forward and give money, people will still give you alms, but you may not necessarily appreciate it. ”

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned when he heard this, and then his face was bitter, and he sat down unwillingly, "It's too!" I still rely on others for help! How can you still care about other people's business? ”

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he frowned, and he was a little unhappy in his heart. Ye Zhiqiu was also too concerned about this, always saying this, and seemed to mind these things, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but start to blame himself for being nosy.

Ye Zhiqiu is different from Sun Xian, Sun Xian's family was poor before, but he did not shy away from talking about it, and he was grateful for Gu Chengyu's help, and accepted it generously. And promised to help him as much as he could. As it turns out, it does.

When Gu Chengyu was arrested, he ran forward and backward, trying his best to find a way. I also want to scatter all my family wealth and take care of Gu Chengyu.

Ye Zhiqiu is actually a person who values love and righteousness, but he is too sensitive, and sometimes it is inevitable that people will be unhappy. A little thing should be kept in mind, which is what people often say.

"What you said is bad, who in this world except your father and mother will help you for no reason? Your food and accommodation are all earned by Aunt Ye and Sister Ye, and they are never given by others. Don't say this in the future, so as not to make Aunt Ye and them sad. ”

In fact, Ye Zhiqiu just didn't want to open it! When I get older, my mood will be much more open-minded, and I am still a young man after all.

As soon as Ye Zhiqiu finished speaking, he also felt that it was inappropriate. Hearing Gu Chengyu say this again at this time, he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.

He just has some low self-esteem, Jinyu became famous at a young age, and he made a fortune with his family, which put too much pressure on him. He always involuntarily compares himself to him, which is why he feels inferior to others in every way.

At this moment, he understood that he was too drilly. At the same time, he secretly decided that he would never do this again in the future, and he was covered in thorns like this, hurting himself and the people around him.

"You scholar, don't blame the contemptible for speaking ugly. How big a head and how big a hat is, don't be whimsical. You've been going to the academy for the past few days, and you're still not giving up? Think more about your relatives, and while you still have some money on you, go to your father's house quickly! ”

The shopkeeper also persuaded him bitterly this time, and as for what the scholar said that he had relatives in the capital, the shopkeeper didn't believe it. Even if there was one, it would definitely not be in the capital, otherwise it would have been here for several days, why can't I find it?

"Brother Fang?" In the absence of the head of the family, she has no idea, so she can only rely on her eldest son.

The scholar was a little helpless, looking at the burden in front of him and crying without tears, he no longer paid attention to the shopkeeper, and only stood in front of the inn and prepared to wait for his father to come back. The third sister is still in the hospital, and the hospital refuses to take credit, so she can't do it, so she can only go back.

But the younger brother is still in the hands of those people, how can they go back?

Gu Chengyu's carriage was still some distance away just now, and they happened to pass by in front of the inn at this time. Gu Chengyu wanted to put down the curtain, but a pair of anxious and depressed eyes looked at him, and he happened to be facing Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu glanced at him indifferently, and then lowered the curtain. The scholar saw the people in the luxurious carriage and found that they were two young men in official uniforms. It's really a young man, and he looks very young.

He was a little envious, the sons and daughters of these big families were enlightened early, and they were taught by famous teachers since they were children, and they became officials at such a young age.
