Xiangye

Chapter 88 Knowledge is Power
Seeing Gao Wen's hesitation, the shopkeeper became vigilant.

But looking at the person in front of him, the material of the clothes on his body is not bad, and the cut is quite ironed, but it is full of dirt, making him look very embarrassed.Moreover, it was a cold day, and he was only wearing two unlined clothes, looking a bit down and out.

He asked again: "Mr. Gao, are you staying in a hotel or working at the top?"

Gao Wen gritted his teeth: "It's getting late, I don't have a place to go, and I'll stay in your store for a few days and choose a good and clean room. In addition, I'll bring some wine and food over for my benefit."

The shopkeeper said cautiously: "Mr. Gao, this shop is small and the profit is low, do you pay for the meal in this room..."

Gao Wen pretended to be menacing, and snorted coldly: "Lead me into the house now, let's see if your room suits my wishes first."

At any rate, he was also the head of the fast class acting as an agent of a famous criminal master, and someone who had taken care of dozens of brothers. Gao Wen naturally carried the aura of a big man.

The shopkeeper of the inn has been in business for decades, and he has seen countless people. Anyone who passes by him can instantly tell what kind of quality he is.Immediately, he felt that Mr. Gao Wen seemed to be an unusual person, and he didn't dare to offend, so he said, "Sir, come with me."

They led Gao Wen into the upper room together with a waiter, and Gao Wen pretended to look at it for a long time, expressing his satisfaction.

The shopkeeper asked cautiously again: "Mr. Gao, why are you dressed so thinly in the cold weather... the room fee..."

Gao Wen couldn't hear the word "money" the most now, so he immediately scolded: "It doesn't matter if you wear less clothes. Xiaosheng wants to imitate the demeanor of the ancients in Wei and Jin. In the past, Su Zi said: 'The breeze comes slowly, and the water waves are calm. Drinking wine is a guest. , reciting the poems of the bright moon, and singing the graceful chapters. Shaoyan, the moon rises above the Dongshan Mountain, wandering between the bullfights. The white dew crosses the river, and the water and light meet the sky. As long as a reed is like, Ling Wanqing is at a loss. Haohao is like Feng Xu rides the wind, but he doesn't know where it stops; he flutters as if he is independent from the world, and he becomes immortal after becoming a fairy." Naturally, he needs to take off his coat and gown. If he wears thick as a bear and as stupid as a cow, he will lose his grace, so what Fluttering like Feng Xu Yufeng?"

"Just listen,' so drinking is very enjoyable, and the boat is singing. The song said: Osmanthus and orchid oars, hitting the sky and looking back at the streamer. I am in the arms, looking at the beauty and looking at the sky. There are some guests who play the flute, Relying on the song to make peace with it. The sound is humming, like resentment or admiration, like weeping like complaints, and the lingering sound is endless, like a thread. The dancer dancing in the secluded ravine, the weeping woman in a lonely boat..."

The whole room is full of chanting, it is really golden sound and jade quality, piercing clouds and cracking stones, it is deafening.

After memorizing Su Dongpo's "Ode to the Former Red Cliff", although they couldn't understand it, the innkeeper and the waiter felt that Mr. Gao Wen in front of him was a man with a story.

Seeing him throwing a tantrum, the two felt inexplicably frightened.

After a while, when Gao Wen's mood calmed down, when he looked back, the two of them no longer knew where they had gone.

……

In the courtyard, Xiao Er: "Shopkeeper, what did the customer surnamed Gao say just now? Is he chanting scriptures?"

The shopkeeper slapped him on the head: "Idiot, are you endorsing? Do you know the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Xiao Er: "You mean Mr. Gao is a scholar?"

"Nonsense, you know Mr. Shi, the classmate of the county magistrate. Mr. Gao is acquainted with Mr. Shi, so he is naturally a scholar. It's hard to say... Judging by his appearance when he endorsed the book, he should be famous. .”

"Ah, he is famous."

"Well, look at how annoyed Mr. Gao was when the old man talked about the room and food just now. Scholars, money is like dung, and this is the last thing to listen to. It seems that if you talk too much, you are insulting him. If you have a bad temper Yes, I've already slapped him in the face."

Xiao Er stuck out her tongue: "Fortunately, I didn't get beaten."

The shopkeeper: "Hurry up and send some wine and food to Mr. Gao." After the waiter responded, he was about to go down to prepare, he thought for a while, and then said: "You can still ask about the room and food, but don't worry. You must not offend others."

"Yes, the shopkeeper."

……

Earlier, Gao Wen was tired and hungry, and there was no heat in his vest, so he had to hold on for a long time in front of the shopkeeper. When he entered the room, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his teeth kept chattering up and down.

After a while, the waiter brought a pot of hot wine, a small pot of steamed buns, and a pot of stewed meat.

Seeing the food, Gao Wen's eyes lit up, it was really a hungry tiger throwing himself into the forest, and it was swept away like a storm.Now, I finally feel warm and comfortable.

Hiccupping beautifully, seeing Xiao Er still standing beside him, Gao Wen wondered, "Xiao Er, what's the matter?"

Xiao Er: "Mr. Gao, the shopkeeper said that our shop is small..."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Wen picked up the wine glass and drank it down, singing: "Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle is a pleasure, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time. Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will drink, don't stop drinking. A song with Junge, please listen to me. Bells, drums, and jade are not expensive, but I hope that I will not wake up after being drunk. The ancient sages are lonely, but the drinkers leave their names..."

The waiter quietly left the room and closed the door quietly.

At this time, Gao Wen just finished reading the song "Will Enter the Wine": "Five-flowered horses, thousands of gold fur, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell the eternal sorrow with you."

It seems that in time-travel novels, relying on copying poems to become famous in a different time and space and become rich and prosperous is not a novelist's opinion.As far as the present is concerned, wealth and glory may not be mentioned, but it is still possible to have three meals and one drink.

Knowledge is power, and the predecessors and sages do not deceive me.

After scalding his feet and covering him with a thick quilt, Gao Wen thought of the shopkeeper of this inn, and of being stripped of his cotton jacket in the morning, and sighed in his heart: The same hotel owner, how can there be such a big difference between people!
In fact, it is understandable that Gao Wen in the morning is just an ordinary person.And at this moment, because I know a well-known scholar Shi Linsheng, I am also regarded as a scholar.Therefore, no matter how poor it looks, the store dare not make mistakes.

It can be seen that in the damn era, it doesn't matter if you have money or not, the key is that you have to have political status.

Only by studying the imperial examinations is the right way to gain fame!

I originally planned to go to the Yamen to change my household registration and naturalization after meeting with Shilin students in Zhuanglang County, and then take the local county examination.But now that old man Shi left, he trapped me here.What to do next?

Hey, let's talk about it tomorrow!
After walking for a day and recovering from a serious illness, my whole body is falling apart.After lying on the bed for a while, Gao Wen fell into a dream.

On the second day, Gao Wen didn't get up until it was three o'clock in the morning, so he naturally missed breakfast.

The effect of reciting poems is very obvious, and the lunch restaurant also serves them on time, and their attitude is extremely respectful.

So Gao Wen stayed.However, my heart is uneasy.For one or two days, the shopkeeper might not dare to talk nonsense because he misunderstood that he was a scholar.But as time goes on, I will show my original shape.Moreover, there is no way to wait like this, the ghost knows when old man Shi will come back.

Besides, what to do with this year's county test, if you miss it, you can only wait for next year.With that case on his back, if he didn't have the protection of fame, he might really be killed by Huang Wei.

Thinking of this, Gao Wen couldn't sit still anymore anxiously, so he simply left the inn and started wandering around the city.

Zhuanglang County is too small, and I walked back and forth twice in less than half an hour.

Unconsciously, he walked to the gate of the yamen, looked up, and saw that the adobe wall outside the yamen was covered with notices in disorder.

Gao Wen was concerned about the county examination in Zhuanglang County this year, so he looked closely.

I saw that a notice that had been blown to pieces by the wind said that this year's Zhuanglang County Examination was scheduled to be held on February [-]th, the first year of Jingtai, and the examination location was the lobby of the county government.

From this point of view, Gao Wen's shock was no small matter.

It turns out that today is already February [-]th, that is to say, the exam is coming tomorrow.Poor me, not only have I not registered yet, but I have not even moved my household registration.

"I don't have much time left for Gao Wen, only one day. No, only half a day." The Ming Dynasty County Examination time is Linchen Maoshi, which is four to five o'clock in the morning Beijing time.

"Damn it, this old man Shi is really unreliable!" Gao Wen was so angry that his eyes burst into flames.
