Chapter 1159 The scholar in the yard next door
"So that's it," Yan Gaomin sighed and said, "Fortunately, you know someone who rented a house in advance. Otherwise, if you had come at this time, I'm afraid the inn would have been crowded and there would be no place to stay."
"Yes, we also knew that we had a house, so we came here later without worry, otherwise we would have to come earlier like you. By the way, where is Brother Yan from?" Zhu San smiled and asked quietly.
Look at the situation on the other side.
"I am..."
Yan Gaomin also came from the countryside, but his family's conditions were obviously not as good as those of the Zhu family, but his classmate's family background was good, so he made an appointment with a few people to rent this yard together.
Rather than saying that Yan Gaomin was curious about who lived next door, it was better to say that when he learned that only one family had moved in here, he guessed that the other family had a good family background and wanted to get close to him in advance.
Yan Gaomin wanted to find out about Zhu San, but unfortunately he was just a scholar, and the circles he had interacted with in the past were all circles of scholars. He was not as exposed to as many religions as Zhu San, but he was tricked by Zhu San a lot.
In a few words, Zhu San understood the situation on the other side.
He remained calm, smiled and talked to the other party for a while, then ended the conversation on the grounds that the place was still being tidied up and it was not convenient to entertain guests.
After Yan Gaomin left, Zhu Da and Zhu Er immediately surrounded him: "Do you know him?"
"I don't know him, I just saw someone moving in here and came over to say hello."
"That's it, then you'd better be careful. I've heard that scholars have many eyes." Zhu Dababala told Zhu San the stories he and Zhu Er had heard when they were outside waiting for Zhu San's exam.
Listen, let Zhu San have a clear mind.
Why did Zhu San need him to say it? He already knew it when he accompanied Zhu Qi to take the exam.
If Zhu Qi hadn't been famous at that time and had just taken the exam, he didn't know if he could have helped Zhu Qi defend against it.
But luckily, Zhu Qi got lucky and won the first prize in one fell swoop. He passed the civil service exam directly and didn't have to take the government exam like him.
The next day, Zhu Da went out to invite Mr. Cen, who was staying in the inn, to come here as a guest.
Originally, they wanted to invite Mr. Cen to live with them, but Mr. Cen was unwilling to take advantage of them. It was not his son who was taking the government examination alone, and they arrived here earlier than the Zhu family. They were really embarrassed to stay at the host's house.
When I don't come, I live in other people's houses and I don't have the nerve to come.
If you don't come, then don't come. But Mr. Cen is Zhu Qi's husband, and he is also the husband of Dabao and Erbao. This year, Zhu San and Cen Guangji passed the county examination together and have to take the government examination together. Naturally, they will take care of those who can be taken care of.
, otherwise it will be bad if it makes people’s hearts cold.
"Mr. Cen, I'm really sorry. We have a lot of things at home, so we came a little late. I should have invited you outside, but there are too many people outside, so it's better to be at home. It happens that the yard we rent is not far from here.
, and deserted, you can sit together and talk for a while longer..."
There must be a gathering, so Mr. Cen told the students to stay in the room and not run around, so he took Cen Guangji to follow Zhu Da and came here as a guest.
Yan Gaomin, who lives next door, wanted to come over several times to visit, but he was either receiving guests or had already gone out, so he couldn't meet him.
One of his classmates saw him and laughed at him, saying that he was just stupid and that others wouldn't treat him well when he saw him. He also put his warm face on someone else's cold buttocks, which was simply shameless.
Another classmate saw him and said quickly: "Brother Qin, don't talk nonsense. I just happened to have something to do. I didn't miss Brother Yan on purpose."
Qin Liang rolled his eyes: "Isn't it true that I don't have a clue? I have told you a long time ago that Yan Gaomin is not a good person at all. He is just a snobbery. He wants to stick up to those who are powerful.
, you still don’t believe it, now you know it, right?”
The smile on Yan Gaomin's face could hardly be maintained, and the hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help but clenched their fists.
Do they think he wants this?
Who made his family poor? If he didn't make friends with more powerful people, who would take him seriously as a poor boy with no background?
Among these classmates, how many of them think highly of him?
If he hadn't had a good relationship with Lu Chengwen, would they have taken him to play?
Wan Ruisi was afraid that everyone would look ugly, so he quickly asked Qin Liang to say a few words. Qin Liang didn't care. He was the best among these people, except Lu Chengwen.
If it weren't for hugging Lu Chengwen's thigh, how could he squeeze into the same courtyard with them?
Thinking too much.
Qin Liang also really disliked Yan Gaomin. In addition to the fact that Yan Gaomin usually performed better than him in the school and was liked by his husband, the other thing was that he felt that Yan Gaomin was a little too fake and aloof. He obviously wanted to hug Lu Chengwen's lap.
He still had to act like "I won't take advantage of you, we are gentlemen's friends", which really made his teeth itch.
Zhu San didn't know about this little conflict in the yard next door, because the day of the government examination was coming soon.
Yes, they came at a very specific time. After meeting a few old friends, it was almost time to enter the examination room.
This time, before Zhu Da and Zhu Er went out, they explained to Zhu San as usual, because they were afraid that Zhu San would be under too much pressure and drive himself crazy.
Because they are adjacent to the courtyard next door, the two of them happened to go out together. When they lined up in the examination room, they were naturally together.
What's even more coincidental is that when Zhu San got his room number, he actually found Yan Gaomin sitting opposite him.
Yan Gaomin was also a little surprised and saluted him from the distance.
Zhu San didn't say anything and returned a scholar's gift.
After being seated according to the number, the exam started not long after. There were government officials patrolling the venue with signboards and posters with exam questions on display.
Zhu San didn't waste any time, found a piece of paper, copied down the questions, and then started to write down his admission ticket number and prepare to answer.
Obviously, the questions this time were more complicated than those in the county examination, and included a few more strategies. Most of them were familiar to Zhu San. He had discussed them with Mr. Xu on weekdays, and he knew how to answer them.
Zhu San sighed in his heart, Mr. Xu really deserves to be Mr. Xu, and the scope of the topic was really accurate.
On the opposite side, Yan Gaomin saw Zhu San's confident look, and became more determined to make friends with him.
Originally, when Qin Liang said that, he was also a shameless person, so he was too embarrassed to show it to Zhu San shamelessly.
But what if Zhu San passes the exam?
If you pass the government examination, you will be considered a Tongsheng, and you will be able to take the exam to become a scholar in the future.
Perhaps for those big families, a scholar is worth a glance, and a child is simply not eye-catching, but for Yan Gaomin, even a small child is definitely worthy of respect in their village.
If there were a few more famous friends, it would be even more...
Yan Gaomin believed that he must have read it correctly. The object opposite looked ordinary, but the jade pendant hanging on his waist was definitely a piece of high-quality Lantian warm jade.
Even Lu Chengwen didn't have that piece of jade.
It was also a coincidence that he once attended a poetry meeting with Lu Chengwen and saw him in a noble person.
It's a pity that neither he nor Lu Chengwen had any fame at that time. They were marginalized figures at the poetry meeting attended by the nobles. Not to mention making friends with the nobles, they didn't even have a chance to say a word, so they could only look at it with helpless eyes.
