Chapter 173: It's Time for the Scientific Examination (1st Update)
When he returned to the restaurant, he saw that there were still many customers coming in and out, and Wu Zhan asked, "What's wrong with the store?" It's already past lunch, and there is usually no one at this time.
The guy pointed to the top: "It's terrible, this mahjong parlor has just opened, and many people who come to eat have been invited to play on it, but who knows that many people don't leave as soon as they play, and there are people who go out and bring people to come again, but it is more lively than the restaurant below us."
So it was, Wu Zhan didn't go up to see, he went directly to the backyard, as soon as he opened the back door, he looked at the night under the tree in the courtyard and looked at it defensively, and only when he saw that it was Wu Zhan who relaxed: "Wu Gongzi!"
Wu Zhan nodded: "What about the vines?"
"Rest in your room."
"Go back to your room and rest! I don't have to be so nervous when I'm with her. ”
Ye Zhi nodded, got up and went back to the room, Wu Zhan gently pushed the door open, and sure enough, he saw that Hu Man was sleeping soundly, and he didn't make any noise about him, so he rummaged through the bookshelf, and sure enough, there was a military book, and she fell asleep, so he read quietly on the side.
Wu Zhan had never been in contact with the affairs of the army, so some of the things in the military book, even if they were very simple, were like the freshest nectar to him, and he tirelessly absorbed them.
Half an hour passed, Hu Man turned over, woke up slowly, saw Wu Zhan on the sofa at a glance, and rubbed his eyes: "You're back?"
Only then did Wu Zhan come back to his senses from the book, mark it and put it back on the shelf: "Hmm."
"How's it going in the army?" Hu Man got up and folded the quilt: "Isn't it particularly powerful?"
She was more curious than herself, and Wu Zhan pinched her red face: "Not only mighty, but also domineering!"
"How?"
Wu Zhan put his hand on his stomach: "I haven't eaten for a day, I'm hungry."
Hu Man looked at the sky: "What time is it?" You're not going to ask the chef to cook something for you? ”
"When I came back, the chefs were all out of work." Naturally, he wouldn't have deliberately woken up Hu Man to cook.
Hu Manbai glanced at him: "Wait."
stewed braised pork, mixed with refreshing shredded kelp, and made two bowls of shredded pork noodles: "I heard that the food in the army is very poor, do you have to eat there in the future?"
Wu Zhan took a bite of noodles: "It's not good, but when have I ever been picky?"
The children from poor families are naturally hard-working, Hu Man held his cheeks in his hands: "Tell me, what is the army like here?"
"It's nothing special, eating, drinking, and Lazar is just training,"
"Then you need to practice with you in the future?"
Wu Zhan thought for a while: "It shouldn't be necessary, after all, I followed the prince to do things closely, and moreover, I was also given the position of a pioneer leader."
"Participation? What kind of official is that? Isn't it amazing? ”
"Six pins." It is not clear what exactly is in charge of the armed war.
"Awesome." Hu Man gave a thumbs up, and his eyes smiled crookedly: "I will also have an officer husband in the future!"
Hearing the word husband come out of her mouth, Wu Zhan's heart fluttered, and he glanced at her: "Do you still want me to eat well?"
Hu Man thought he had disturbed him, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, I won't ask, you eat quickly." After that, he got up and went to the restaurant, and Yezhi followed competently behind him.
At this time of the day, the restaurant is very deserted, but today is different, Hu Man went up to the third floor, a private room and a guy, responsible for serving tea and pouring water, the two brothers of the Yang family don't have to run around, because there are only two rooms in the lower middle school at present, and there are no too noble people to play.
"Hostess." Yang Li saw Hu Man at the door walking out.
"How?"
Yang Lixi smiled: "It's much better than I imagined, as long as I learn it, I'll have fun!" The winners are happy, the losers refuse to leave, and many people don't leave for a day. ”
Who knew that Hu Man frowned: "Did you lose too much?"
Yang Li thought for a while: "The most is probably the eldest sister in the corner, she lost about two taels of silver, and she is not rich in dress, and after she lost, I borrowed two taels here, and I kept an account for her."
Hu Man forgot about this question, and said with a serious expression: "You are not allowed to lend money to anyone in the future!"
"Why?" Yang Li doesn't understand, isn't this just the money and profits of the field?
Hu Man pursed his lips, walked up to the eldest sister Yang Li said, and looked at her, there was about one or two more silver, and if it went on like this, it was estimated that he would have to lose: "This eldest sister."
The woman was playing vigorously and didn't raise her head: "What are you doing?"
Yang Li hurriedly said: "This is our boss, I have something to say to you!"
Hu Man simply said in a loud voice: "Everyone stop, I have something to say."
The people who were playing turned their heads to look, and there were basically guests of the restaurant, so they naturally recognized Hu Man, and greeted them: "Boss, how did you come up with this trick?" It's really funny. ”
Hu Man smiled: "Since everyone likes it, they all come to play, Hu Man is very grateful, but I also have my rules here, let me tell you, we are just a place to have fun and make fun of boring people, everyone has nothing to do and take a few small money for recreation."
Hu Man pulled the eldest sister to stand up: "But I want to say in advance, I don't open a casino, I won't open the game myself, and I won't lend you money when you lose!" It's not easy for everyone to work hard to make money, it's okay to be bored to relieve your boredom, but you have to do what you can, otherwise the losing family will not be harmonious, or even bankrupt, it will not be good! ”
"And that makes sense?" People are fresh: "Isn't this what you earn?"
Hu Man smiled: "I really don't earn this money, whether I open a restaurant or a mahjong parlor, I do things with my conscience, and I will never fool customers, if someone makes people unhappy because of my little gadget, I will be uneasy when I open this."
After speaking, he picked up the more than one or two pieces of silver on the table and stuffed it into the eldest sister's hand: "What about this silver, it is lent out by the people below who don't know the rules, I don't want it, the eldest sister can pay a difference when she takes it back, the conditions are limited, just play a little entertainment, don't really think it's a casino."
The eldest sister was already anxious, two taels of silver was not a small amount for her family, but seeing that she had already lost, and she was still borrowing someone else's, she was also panicked when she played.
Hu Man nodded and said to Yang Li: "Cross out the account, and also write down the few articles I just talked about, and paste them on the wall."
"Thank you, thank you!" The eldest sister gratefully shook Hu Man's hand: "What a good person, a good person!"
"This is nothing to be treacherous, but the proprietress really has a personality." A man clapped his hands twice.
"Merchants seek profits, but they also have to take them in the right way!" Hu Man bent over: "Excuse me, go on!"
Yang Li still can't understand, you know, the two brothers were poached from the casino by the people of Yuanfu! Naturally, the most familiar is the casino set: "Boss lady, you really can't make much money with this fee."
Hu Man's original intention was not to make money, but to make friends: "It doesn't matter, the cost is not high anyway, just do as I say, the salary will not be less than you."
"Miss is really kind." Ye Zhi, who followed behind, couldn't help but say, it was clear that she hadn't known each other for a day, and she had seen Hu Man too much, which really impressed her every time.
"It's not very good, it's worthy of your conscience, and it's not unstable to earn some money."
Hu Man went downstairs and looked through the open door: "Huh? There have been a lot of people dressed up like this lately! ”
Ye Zhi looked at it: "Miss doesn't know?" The township examination and the meeting examination have ended, and in ten days, it will be the palace examination, and all the scholars who have passed have also gone to Changling to prepare. ”
"Imperial examinations?" Hu Man's eyes widened, she completely forgot about it! So, what about Takehara? Did he pass the township test? Will he come to Changling too?
Hurriedly went to find Wu Zhan, Wu Zhan had just finished eating, and saw Hu Man hurrying: "What's wrong?"
Hu Man gasped: "Wu Zhan, I heard that the palace test is going to be taken soon!" Wu Yuan didn't participate? Will he come to Changling too? ”
Wu Zhan really forgot about it: "It should be... No way! His leg is just right, he hasn't studied for more than a year, and even if he works hard, he may not be able to pass the exam this year. ”
Hu Man was confused with confidence: "But when his legs are not good, he is not wasted!" Memorize and write every day, plus... What we said to him before leaving, with Wu Yuan's temperament, it is estimated that he will be admitted even if he is desperate. ”
I have to say that what Hu Man said makes sense, after all, he also knows Wu Yuan, he is a child with great perseverance and strong self-esteem: "Why don't you write a letter to your family!" Ask him if he's in Beijing! ”
Said to do it, Hu Man sat down and laid out the paper, at the beginning he first asked about Wu Yuan, and then at the beginning, he couldn't stop chattering, and asked Wu Qing's situation again, Wu Linchuan and Wu Hua greeted each other, after all, the traffic here is too inconvenient, far away, it is not easy to pass a letter, and I wrote three pages of paper and put it in an envelope: "How to send?"
Wu Zhan took it: "There are believers, Qingtang County is far away, but it's just a little expensive."
Hu Man couldn't help but sigh again: "What a mistake!" Even if it doesn't stop, it will take seven or eight days to go back and forth soon, and if you leave us there, you can make a phone call. ”
"Phone?" Wu Zhan put away the letter: "What is that?"
"It's a kind of contact method, one person takes a mobile phone, and they can contact each other through the signal, even if they are 108,000 miles apart, you are on that end, and I can talk to each other on this end."
Although I heard Hu Man say a lot about her place, every time I listen to Wu Zhan, I still feel like I'm joking, to be precise, I don't seem to be human anymore...... Spell? You can't hear each other shouting at a distance of a few hundred meters, and you can still talk after tens of thousands of miles?
Knowing that he couldn't understand it, Hu Man simply missed: "Okay, go find that messenger to send the letter!" We don't know about Beiwu, and we can't send him into the examination room when the time comes. ”
