Chapter 21: Good People Have Good Rewards
More than 100 candidates walked on the street, which immediately attracted the onlookers of passers-by. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Many local people in Sushui County are very familiar with this kind of scene, and realize that these people are some candidates who have passed the county examination, as long as they accept the blessing of the martial temple tomorrow, they can soar into the sky and get the rank of martial arts, which is simply envious of others.
A group of candidates walked down the street, enjoying the envious gaze of others, looking smug and swaggering, but the most enthusiastic atmosphere was the group of chief examiners who walked in front and led the way.
These officials enthusiastically discussed the glory that Su Yi brought to Sushui County, and when they talked about the excitement, they would even turn their heads and smile at Su Yi, and Su Yi nodded in response.
Compared with the entire human race, these parents and officials of Sushui County naturally care more about the future of Sushui County, and what is the potential value of Su Yi to Sushui County?
But no matter how much they disagree about "Su Yi's potential", there is one thing that everyone tacitly acquiesces in: Su Yi's role in Sushui County in the future will be incomparably great, even far beyond that of these officials! Therefore, they must do their best to cultivate and protect Su Yi!
The group walked to the front of Qinghua Building, the shopkeeper seemed to have been prepared, and led a group of men to stand in front of the door to greet the officials and many candidates.
The shopkeeper Wang beside him saw Su Yi's expression, leaned over and said, "Su Xian's nephew may not know that this Qinghua Mansion is the largest restaurant in Sushui County, and it is the first choice for local high-ranking officials and wealthy people to set up banquets. Moreover, after the end of the county examination every year, there will be a rich man who will have a banquet here to entertain the head of the case this year, and the number of the 'head of the case' will be attended, with the intention of winning over the head of the case. However, like this, the high-ranking officials of the county came to participate in the 'first banquet' together, and Su Xian's nephew was definitely the first in the history of the county!"
Su Yi nodded at this time, indicating understanding.
This Qinghua Building, is really worthy of being the most famous restaurant in Sushui County, not only the area is wide, and the restaurant is actually a stepped design, from the first floor you can see the banquet on the second floor and the third floor, it is extremely suitable for the layout of large-scale banquets.
The shopkeeper of Qinghua Building, surnamed Ji, saw that even all the high-ranking officials had come to participate in this "first banquet", and immediately led the officials to the third floor with a smile.
There are a total of five tables on the third floor, and the middle table is headed by the Huangfu Yuan, Ji County Order, and Li Xiaowei, all of whom sit in the top five of the total results of this county examination; other officials sit at the other four tables, and the empty seats are reserved for the upcoming local famous families, and Wang Yingjie, the shopkeeper, sits in the seats on the third floor.
Although Shopkeeper Wang did not rank in the top five in the county examination, he came to the banquet as the shopkeeper of the No. 8 pawnshop at the moment, which can be regarded as taking advantage of the advantage; other candidates sitting on the first floor of the second floor saw that Shopkeeper Wang had the opportunity to be close to Su Yitao, and even toasted Su Yi with great fanfare, and they all had red eyes, sighing why they were not the children of a famous family.
After all the people on the third floor were seated, the shopkeeper of Qinghua Mansion hurriedly returned to the first floor, stood at the door and began to receive the local celebrities who came one after another, although he did not need to do this kind of reception himself. And whenever he was free, the shopkeeper would stretch his neck to look at both ends of the street with a puzzled face, and there was a faint look of anxiety between his eyebrows.
When a young candidate on the first floor saw this, he asked, "Hey, shopkeeper, who are you waiting for?"
"Who else can wait, naturally it is Zhuge Qing, the prodigy of this county. Shopkeeper Ji said with a smile.
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, the surrounding candidates were all full of strangeness, as if they were desperately holding back their smiles.
"I see, but you may be disappointed in the shopkeeper, the so-called 'prodigy' may not come, you better rest. The young candidate said again.
"Huh?" the shopkeeper looked ignorant, and said, "Isn't Zhuge Qing the head of the case? If he doesn't come, how can this first banquet be held?"
The young examinee pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper, who stipulates that the position of the head of the case will definitely be that Zhuge Qing's? ”
The shopkeeper was suddenly startled, only to feel a thunder in his heart.
Who is Zhuge Qing? That is a prodigy who is known as "extensive and knowledgeable, and born with divine power"! Looking all over the entire Sushui County, I can't find a second Mengtong who is more knowledgeable and powerful than Zhuge Qing, but Zhuge Qing is not the head of the case?
Even if the sky falls, I can't believe it!
"Hehe, are you guys joking with me?" said the shopkeeper cautiously.
"What do I have to joke with you? According to Zhuge Qing's temperament, if he wins the case, he will not be the first to rush to the door of the restaurant to show off, how can it be the turn of you to receive the local wealthy family?" the young candidate teased.
There was a burst of laughter.
The shopkeeper's face was red and white, as if he was choked enough. Although he didn't want to believe that Zhuge Qing's position as the head of the case would be taken away by others, he also had to admit the words of this young candidate: Although Zhuge Qing has natural talent, his mind is extremely naïve, if he takes the head of the case, he will indeed do this kind of thing.
However, the guests of the first banquet of this case are all about to gather, and Zhuge Qing is not seen yet, which is too abnormal.
When things go wrong, there must be demons, and the shopkeeper recalled carefully, remembering that when he led a group of officials up to the third floor before, there was indeed a young man who was welcomed to the main seat like the stars holding the moon. The shopkeeper thought that this young man was a prince and nobleman from the county, so could it be ......
"Could it be that the boy who went up to the third floor is the head of this county test?" asked Shopkeeper Ji tentatively.
Several candidates looked at each other, and then let out a burst of laughter, as if mocking the shopkeeper's eyes, one of them said: "It is the 'Su Shichip'!
The shopkeeper's legs are soft: Ten chips through the ages, the best chosen ones?!
The shopkeeper only felt that the sky had fallen, and he almost wanted to suffocate.
Oh my God, what stupid things did he do? He actually left behind the head of this case, who was "a son of the eternal and chosen by heaven", and ran to greet the so-called "prodigy" who was even ashamed to attend the banquet?
The shopkeeper was remorseful, and he couldn't wait to slap himself directly. I saw that he immediately pulled out his legs and rushed upstairs, looked left and right, and in an instant found the young man who was called the head of the crime.
The young man sat with a group of high-ranking officials, and he did not have stage fright, but talked and laughed freely and calmly.
At this time, a guy went upstairs with a drink, and the shopkeeper picked up a pot of wine without saying a word, held the wine glass in his hand, approached the wine table in the middle, put on a flattering smile, and bowed to Su Yi to greet him.
"Is this the head of this case, Su Shichou?" the shopkeeper opened his mouth to ask, but he didn't wait for Su Yi to answer, and immediately smiled, "I see Su Shichou, your eyebrows are heroic, and you are really a hero, and the name of the head of this case is well deserved!
With that, the shopkeeper poured wine into the cup, raised his head and drank it all. Then he smiled again, and his expression was flattering.
Su Yi saw the shopkeeper Ji behaving like this, and her face was strange.
This stepped restaurant can't hide the sound, Su Yi had already heard the conversation of the shopkeeper on the first floor, just smiled, and now he saw the shopkeeper's dog-legged appearance, and sighed in his heart that it was really hard to be a businessman, so he didn't want to embarrass the other party, and waved his hand:
"There are more than 100 people attending the banquet today, and since the shopkeeper wants to preside over the overall situation, there is no need to waste time on a little student like me, go and get busy with you. ”
At this moment, more than 20 famous families had gathered on the third floor, and when they heard Su Yi's words, they burst into laughter, obviously realizing that Su Shicai didn't want to embarrass the shopkeeper, but he didn't want to be close to him. So when they looked at the shopkeeper, they all had a playful look on their faces.
The shopkeeper lost a chance to have a relationship with the head of the case, and with a bitter face, he went downstairs in a gloomy manner.
The people on the first and second floors saw that the shopkeeper touched a nose of ash, and they were even more hilarious. In terms of raising the atmosphere, the shopkeeper is also a hard worker.
The shopkeeper looked depressed, so he could only stand at the door again to greet the famous families who came to the banquet next.
Not long after, in addition to the Zhuge family, almost all the famous families in this county were gathered, and there were almost more than 30 people, among them, there was even the shopkeeper Liu of Liu's tailor shop!
Shopkeeper Liu is the one who not only sent Su Yi to take the exam this morning, but also gave Su Yi his pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Seeing Shopkeeper Liu sitting at a table in the corner after going up to the third floor, Su Yi immediately walked up to Shopkeeper Liu, toasted him with a glass of wine, and sincerely thanked him, and promised to visit him when he had leisure in the future.
Only then did Shopkeeper Liu know that Su Yi was actually the head of the county test! As a party, he was more surprised than everyone on the third floor.
"I just looked at this Su Yi in the morning, and I couldn't bear him to ruin his future for a year, so I helped him casually. I didn't expect him to become the head of the case this time, and he is still a genius through the ages, a natural choice! Could it be that I am going to be transferred?"
Shopkeeper Liu is just a wealthy businessman, who is only ranked at the bottom of the famous family in the county, and has no money and no real power. Therefore, everyone on the third floor found that Su Yi had set aside the others, except for toasting the shopkeeper Liu, and they all looked puzzled.
Seeing this, Su Yi smiled and explained what happened to him this morning, and specially pointed out: "If it weren't for the send-off and gift of the pen from Shopkeeper Liu, I am afraid that I would not be able to participate in today's county exam, let alone win the case." ”
Only then did everyone understand, and they sighed that Su Yi was grateful for the reward, and at the same time they cast a goodwill look at Shopkeeper Liu.
Shopkeeper Liu noticed everyone's strange eyes, and immediately understood that he had obtained great blessings because of Su Yi, and kept sighing in his heart that "good people have good rewards".
