Yunxiao hurriedly thanked the servant, and was overjoyed, and without saying more, he rushed impatiently towards Chu Haoran's mansion. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Three steps and one step, and soon came to the door of a large mansion. I saw that this house building, ingenious conception, neatly arranged, the selection of materials and materials are very exquisite, its luxury with a bit of elegance, exquisite in the more tranquil. It is not as unattainable as the palace compound, giving people a sense of intimacy. It is not as extravagant as the ordinary dignitaries and nobles, but it is very solemn and solemn, which makes people look at it without fear and awe! Looking at the two squatting stone lions in front of its door, they are tall and mighty, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, so we can see how prominent the status of this Lord Chu is. Just looking at this building, Yunxiao had a little more admiration for this Lord Chu in his heart.

This scholar's mansion is really extraordinary, even the slaves get up earlier than other families, and when the clouds come, an old servant has already cleaned outside the gate of the bachelor's mansion.

Yunxiao hurriedly walked over, saluted first, and inquired: "Uncle, may I ask if your Mansion Recruitment Hall is recruiting?"

The old man looked at the clouds and said, "Move, move! Little brother is this year's scholar?"

Yunxiao's face was embarrassed, and he said a little embarrassedly: "It's not a secret, it's not exact." It's just because I heard that the Fushang Recruitment Hall is recruiting people, and I have come to serve!"

The old man smiled and said, "It's easy to say, we want you like this in the Recruiting Hall, hahaha!" The old man seemed very happy, and seemed to like him very much, and immediately said: "Let's go! I'll take you there." ”

Yunxiao saw that this old man was approachable, not as arrogant and unreasonable as other mansions, and he was also very happy, so he only said: "Then there is Uncle Lao!"

The old servant led the way in front, Yunxiao followed, and walked to the mansion, only to see that this bachelor's mansion was so big, Yunxiao had never seen such a big mansion. In the meantime, the courtyard is numerous, row upon row, but the arrangement is very exquisite, the courtyard is lined with trees, flowers and plants, birds and flowers, it is really wonderful and beautiful!

He and the old servant walked for a while before arriving at the Bachelor's Mansion's Recruiting Hall. This Zhaoxian Hall is not small, the building is not tabled, only to see a pair of extremely dazzling couplets by the door, which is: "The virtuous and capable do not worry about the talents, and the heroic and strong men do not worry about serving the country." “

At this moment, the door of the recruitment hall was open, and the old servant brought Yunxiao to the door and said, "This is it, you can go in and sign up!"

Yunxiao was very grateful, and thanked the old servant again, and then walked in. And the person in charge of the affairs of the Zhaoxian Pavilion here is a man in his forties, who doesn't look like a scholar, but like a housekeeper or something, presumably a confidant of this Chu adult.

Yunxiao approached, waved at the man first, and said, "Hello, I have heard that your Mansion Recruitment Hall is recruiting people, and I am here to serve!"

The man didn't seem to have woken up yet, but was dozing off with his head propped up in one hand, deaf to him. Yunxiao raised his voice slightly and said, "Hello, I have heard that your mansion is recruiting people, and I am here to serve!"

The man woke up in shock, barely opened his eyes, opened his mouth to doze off, and stretched again, then he glanced at Yunxiao and said disdainfully: "What's your name?"

Yunxiao paused slightly, but still told the truth. The man was slightly shocked, but asked again, "Are you a scholar who has failed this year?"

Yunxiao said: "Exactly!"

The man said, "But what will happen?"

Yunxiao said: "Reading and writing, talking about poetry, music and rhythm articles, art of war, etc. ”

The man nodded and said, "Well, that's almost what the scholars who come here say, and you're not outstanding!"

Yunxiao didn't explain much, but the man said: "The people who come to us are already overcrowded, if there is any other place to go, let's go, we can't arrange so many people in the Zhaoxian Hall!" The man spoke, but one hand was spread out on the table, shaking slightly.

Yunxiao was puzzled, and asked again: "I heard that this recruitment hall recruits people, isn't it better to have more people, why can't you arrange me?"

The man had displeasure on his face, and said coldly: "Who said that? The more the better, doesn't this person need to eat? The more people there are, the more they eat, even if we have gold and silver in the academy, we can't stand it!"

He glanced at Yunxiao again, and said, "What's more, the livelihood is not good these days, and there are a lot of cheats to eat and drink, and no one knows if others are pretending to be scholars to come to us to beg for food and drink?" I heard that you have to pass the assessment when you enter the recruitment hall, if you don't believe it, you can test me with questions!"

The man shook his head with a slight anger, and did not mention the assessment at all. He seemed a little impatient, and just reprimanded: "Brainless, don't open your mind!"

Yunxiao saw that he was angry, and said kindly: "This master, just do it and make arrangements!

Seeing that he seemed to understand, the man hurriedly said, "Do you have to wait until later?"

Yunxiao only realized now, it was for favor. He changed color slightly, and he was deeply ashamed in his heart, he didn't expect that there would be such a person in such a place. It's just that I feel penniless, but I can't help it.

Yunxiao shook his head slowly in a daze, let out a long breath, and did not speak. The man slowly lowered his hand, and seemed to see through the poor scholar's pennilessness. He sneered, shook his head, and said lightly: "The day before yesterday, Steward Chen of the mansion said that Lin Bo, who was cleaning the front yard, was old and frail, so let me find someone to help with it, if you really want to stay, just go there!"

Yunxiao sighed bitterly when he heard this, but thought in his heart: "I entered the Zhaoxian Pavilion as a staff member, how can I be a subordinate?" But now I just want to eat together, and I don't dare to have too many extravagant hopes to show my ambitions, let alone think that I can soar one day, and now I have something to eat, so I don't care about anything else." Ay...... Either way, or !!"

Although he has a letter of recommendation written to him by Hu Yun in the past, he still hopes to gain recognition through his own efforts.

Yunxiao sighed: "Okay! I'll listen to your arrangement!"

The man glanced at him roughly again, and said in a low voice with contempt: "Spineless stinky poor sour, drilling people's crotch and still want to soar, phew, no way!"

Yunxiao didn't hear what he said, but he suddenly shouted loudly, called a servant, and ordered: "You take him to the room in the backyard of our bachelor's mansion, and he will live there in the future." ”

The little guy seemed to be taken aback, and said, "It's been a long time since there has been a habit, can you live?"

The man was impatient, and said angrily: "Why can't you live?

The little servant resignedly, "Yes, yes, yes!" and went straight to the backyard of the bachelor's mansion with Yunxiao. Along the way, the little guy told Yunxiao some rules in the house, as well as when Yunxiao worked, when he rested, when he ate, and other things. The pavilions and pavilions he encountered on the road, Yunxiao also asked about their uses, and the little guy also had to answer all questions! It was another time to walk through the buildings and alleys, and it took a long time to reach the backyard.

Just looking at this backyard clouds dumbfounded, because it's so barren. This yard is not big, it looks inaccessible, and there are some flowers and trees planted in the yard, but it seems that no one takes care of it, the trees grow wildly, the flowers are overgrown with weeds, it looks very messy, and the yard is not cleaned, and there are leaves and dirt everywhere. This scholar's house is too big to manage this useless small courtyard! Look at the door in this courtyard, which can go straight to the outside of the house, and there is a house next to the door, which is in disrepair, and there are broken tiles and loopholes everywhere.

The little servant pointed to the house and said, "Look, you will live here in the future, and everything in this courtyard will be under your control." ”

Yunxiao looked at everything here, shook his head, and only said to the little guy: "Thank you!"

The little guy was very easy to talk to, and said: "Thank you, we are all the same life, if you have any questions in the future, just ask me, you're welcome!"

Yunxiao said: "Yes! Yes! Thank you so much, brother!"

The little guy said: "You're welcome! I still have something to do, I have to go, you can clean up slowly!"

Yunxiao said: "Okay, brother Tai go slowly!"

The little guy turned around and left, walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, it's time to eat in a while, but don't forget, if you miss it, you won't have anything to eat!"

Yunxiao smiled and replied, "Got it!" before the man left.

Yunxiao approached the house, the lock of the house was rusty, and when he pushed the door in, the dust on the door kept coming, and the dust in the house was an inch thick, and it was full of cobwebs, and the roof was full of countless holes, and the roof tiles were all over the ground. The room was simply furnished, with a bed with sheets and bedding that were too dirty to be used, a table that was also in tatters, and a bookshelf that was empty and unproductive. Yunxiao looked at this mess, shook his head and smiled bitterly!

However, this place is quiet, and it is also a good place to practice in the future!
