Chapter 158: Luozhou Student, Qiu Yu
Wan Yanyue took a sip of tea, but her ears secretly listened to the scholars next to her talking. m.
But at this moment, a ragged scholar rushed up with an angry face.
"It's nonsense, it's nonsense! Yang Gong has the grace of reinvention in Luozhou, and there are countless living people. ”
"You are here to slander Yang Gong, it is really not a gentleman's doing!"
As soon as these words came out, the tea guests in the teahouse turned their attention to this side.
They have all heard about Luozhou. But most people don't believe the rumors of eunuch disaster relief.
How can a eunuch with an incomplete body have such great ability?
The scholars who had been drinking tea before were already unhappy when they heard someone interrupt their conversation.
Looking at the person who came to stir up the situation, he was just a down-and-out scholar. The ridicule in their eyes became more and more profound.
"Yo, did my son really not expect that a mere pickled eunuch would now have followers?"
"Dare to ask this friend, when are you going to enter the palace?"
As soon as these words came out, the teahouse burst into laughter.
Everyone looked at the down-and-out scholar, and the disdain in their eyes was not concealed at all.
"You, you!"
The down-and-out scholar was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, and he wanted to hit people several times, but at the last moment, he couldn't hold back.
Now it is only two or three months away from autumn. If he committed something because of this, so many years of hard work in the cold window would be completely ruined.
Seeing him cowering so much, the few scholars sitting at the tea table were even more excited. In their eyes, the other party is just a down-and-out scholar from the countryside, who can be bullied, but it can also add a bit of fun.
"This friend, looking at your dress, isn't it also a scholar?"
"In that case, you came to the capital, but for Qiuqiu?"
The down-and-out scholar nodded,
"Yes, I didn't travel thousands of miles from Luozhou to the capital to participate in the annual autumn festival."
Hearing this, several scholars immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, don't be joking with this friend!"
"Yes, yes! Do you know that if you want to participate in the Autumn Festival, you have to come up with at least ten taels of silver? ”
"Looking at your down-and-out appearance, I'm afraid you don't even have ten pennies, right?"
"Friend, listen to our advice, you should go back and forth from where you want. The autumn festival in the capital is not something that everyone can participate in. Especially a poor country ghost like you! ”
The down-and-out scholar frowned and said puzzledly:
"Isn't Qiu Qiu appointed by His Majesty and does not charge any fees?"
"No charge?"
The scholars at the tea table laughed, and the disdain on their faces became more and more intense.
"Friend, you're too young!"
"In this world, why don't you ask for some silver? Don't say it's Qiuqiu, even if you go to the government to fight a lawsuit, you don't have money to open the way, and you can be justified and said to be unreasonable, understand? ”
When the down-and-out scholar heard this, his eyes were full of disappointment.
He originally thought that the capital was the best place and should be more civilized and advanced.
But now it seems that this place is far inferior to today's Los Angeles!
He sighed softly, and suddenly bowed his hand to several scholars.
"Thank you to a few friends for telling me the truth, this matter is easier to think about!"
He hesitated for a moment, and took out a silver ticket of fifty taels of silver from his bosom.
"But since I've come to the capital, I still have to participate in the Autumn Festival."
"Alas! Yang Gong, the student owes you another amount. If it weren't for the student loan you provided, the student would have been running for nothing! ”
He shook his head and turned to sit at the tea table by the window.
"Little Er, let's have a pot of hot tea!"
"Gotcha!"
Xiao Er greeted him warmly, turned around and went to prepare the tea soup.
But the words of the down-and-out scholars made several scholars in the capital widen their eyes.
Student loans? What is this? Why haven't we ever heard of it?
And this kid, who is obviously dressed up in a down-and-out manner, why can he take out fifty taels of silver?
These scholars, although they are natives of the capital. But in fact, they only have a few taels of silver in their hands.
When it comes to reading, there are incoming items but not outgoing items.
After reading the books of the sages, these scholars scoffed at ordinary work.
As a result, a vicious circle is trapped. The more they study, the poorer they become. If it weren't for the occasional trip to the homes of the rich and keeping accounts, they wouldn't even be able to make ends meet.
Several scholars in the capital glanced at each other, and then immediately gathered around the down-and-out scholars.
"Ahem, let me introduce myself, in Xia Zhao Yu, he is from the capital. I don't know what to call this friend? ”
In the eyes of the down-and-out scholar, a look of vigilance flashed.
He pondered for a moment, but then spoke:
"In Xia Sun Qi, a person from Luozhou."
"Sure enough, it's a friend from Luozhou! Come on, come on, everyone sit! ”
Zhao Yu shouted, and let the rest of the Beijing scholars sit down together. Then he looked familiar, put his arm around Sun Qi's shoulders, and asked:
"Brother Sun, there is something I want to ask you about next."
"It's the student loan ...... you call it"
"Brother Sun doesn't know, the capital paper is expensive, even if I am a scholar, it is not easy to save ten taels of silver!"
"Then why don't you apply for a student loan?"
Sun Qi's brows furrowed slightly, and his cheeks were filled with doubt.
"There is no interest on student loans, only the principal needs to be repaid. And even if you can't repay it, you can go to the county office to do some miscellaneous things to transcribe and use to pay off the debt. ”
"Brother Zhao has been studying hard for many years, why don't you try to apply?"
When Zhao Yu heard this, the whole person was stunned.
"How is that possible!"
"Is there such a good thing in this world?"
The rest of the scholars in the capital couldn't help but look at each other. At this moment, they both saw the incredible in each other's eyes.
The government borrows money, and does not need interest?
Why have they never heard of such good things?
If they can also get this money, won't they be able to concentrate on their studies and wait for the autumn season to come?
If you win, you can repay it slowly.
If you don't win, it's a big deal to go to the government to help! Doing some transcription work is not a loss of face for a scholar.
At this moment, the minds of these scholars couldn't help but come alive.
Zhao Yu coughed lightly and continued to ask:
"Brother Sun, do you think we can go to Luozhou and borrow a student loan?"
Sun Qi didn't hesitate and shook his head directly.
"I'm afraid it won't work!"
"This student loan is only for students whose household registration is in Luozhou. If you are from the capital, you will not be able to apply. ”
"Unless...... Unless you have worked in Los Angeles for one year, you can apply for a Los Angeles household registration. ”
"Another year of work??"
Zhao Yu's eyes flashed with a thick sense of disappointment. But I heard Sun Qi continue:
"Not bad! These are the rules set by Yang Gong. ”
"If there is no Yang Gong, how can a down-and-out scholar like me come to the capital to participate in the Autumn Festival?"
Some people died, but not completely......
