Chapter 216: Congratulations
When the exam list was opened, some were happy and some were worried, and there was a drama of joys and sorrows. Those who were nominated for the gold list were happy, had many entertainments, and were full of friends; those who had lost their names were devastated, packed up, left the capital one after another, and went home.
"Master, we don't have a penny with us, but what should we do?"
Ah Fu, the young boy, looked sad.
Guo Yuanming's face looked even more ugly, but he was not worried about money. He had not yet recovered from the shock of not being admitted.
He was full of ambition before setting off, but now he is disgraced. After returning, he has no face to face his fellow villagers.
The waiter from the store outside came again to urge them to move out quickly. If they don't want to move out, they can, but they have to pay.
Being urged to panic, Guo Yuanming said angrily: "You guys don't want to look down on others. I am a traitor after all."
The waiter sneered: "So what if you move it? This is the capital! Under the emperor's feet, the streets are full of officials, so what does it mean to move it? I will give you one hour at the end. If you don't move it, I will ask someone to help you move it."
Hearing the word "capital", Guo Juzi immediately lost his temper. He was born in a poor family and lacked confidence. In this city of Shouan, he couldn't even stand up.
Then we can only move it.
But after moving out, I had no money to stay elsewhere, so I had to live on the streets.
The reason why they were in such a mess was because Guo Yuanming spent too much money a while ago. Not only did he overdraft the travel expenses home, he also borrowed a lot from someone. Now he wants to borrow it, but no one is willing.
Gave.
After all, it was still because I failed the exam. If I had passed the exam, why would it be like this?
As for why it didn't perform well, it has to do with the absurdity of the deserted temple.
"The monster mistook me!"
Guo Yuanming cursed bitterly, and began to regret that he did not cut the yellow leather man into pieces that night, but buried him in peace.
But nothing can be said now.
Ah Fu said: "Young master, for the present plan, the only way is to find Mr. Chen."
"Is it useful to find him?"
"I see that Mr. Chen has a good family background and a cheerful temper. If I ask for his help, he won't refuse."
Thinking of Chen Youniao, Guo Yuanming had mixed emotions: The opponent won the election in a weak year and was already a natural talent. Unexpectedly, he was nominated for a gold medal the following year. It was a smooth journey, and he was like the legendary chosen one.
There is no doubt that such a person will have a bright future that is immeasurable.
Chen Youniao is also shrouded in a layer of mystery that makes people unable to figure it out.
He hesitated and said: "Brother Chen passed the exam, but I failed. The situation is very different... Besides, we don't even know where he lives, how can we find him?"
Ah Fu said: "Mr. Chen probably hid before in order to study quietly. Now that he has passed the exam, there is no need to hide."
"Oh well."
Guo Yuanming agreed, but there was nothing he could do about it. They all say "you rely on friends when you go out". Although he and Chen Youniao were not friends, they had a drink together at the same table, and they finally had some friendship.
…
Chen Youniao returned to the house and saw Lao Qin standing outside the door, looking around frequently.
"Sir, you are finally back."
"What's the matter?"
Lao Qin whispered: "Someone sent a carriage over."
Chen Youniao was startled: "A carriage?"
Lao Qin realized that his story was wrong and hurriedly said: "It should be a carriage, but I don't know what it is. The person who sent it is inside and said he would hand it over to you in person. It's mysterious. It's not like that."
Good kind."
Chen Youniao said "Oh" and stepped in. Sure enough, he saw a large carriage and a man wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat standing beside the carriage.
Deja vu!
They're not the same person, but their cold, stone-like temperament is almost exactly the same.
"Meet Mr. Chen."
The man stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
Chen Youniao asked: "Are you from Junior Hu?"
"Yes, my young master would like to congratulate Mr. Chen on his high school entrance examination and his title on the gold medal list."
"Thank you very much."
The man in black took off a baggage he was carrying, held it in both hands, and handed it over.
Chen Youniao took it. It didn't look heavy, and the shape was irregular, not like a box.
"Then, please excuse me."
After saying that, the man in black bowed and left, walking out of the house.
Lao Tan was listening at the side and realized that it was a congratulatory gift from Mr. Hu. The car was full and it was quite generous, so he didn't know what it was.
Chen Youniao called out: "Old Tan, what are you doing standing here? Picking up something."
Lao Qin was stunned: "Can I take it?"
He subconsciously felt that the gift was packed in a carriage and he kept saying that it had to be handed over to Chen Youniao in person. I was afraid it was a very good thing, and it might involve some privacy that would not be handled by others, so he stood still.
Chen Youniao smiled and said, "If you don't come to help, do you think I have to move it?"
Lao Tan secretly screamed "Ashamed" and hurried over.
At first glance, you can tell that this carriage is well-made and extraordinary. As for the strong horse pulling the carriage, it is very strong and spirited, and it is a good horse for thousands of miles.
Looking at the horse, Lao Qin thought to himself: "The original horse can be sold..."
Not to mention the things loaded in the car, the carriage itself is a very valuable gift.
Opening the car curtain, I saw the real gift, a long wooden box, with three half-person-high round-bellied jars neatly placed on the side of the box.
Such a jar, at first glance, is used to brew wine. However, the mouth of the jar is sealed tightly so that no smell can escape.
It must be a rare drink.
Lao Qin quickly got in the car and began to move the wooden boxes and wine jars into the house.
Chen Youniao took the bag into the room and opened it. What he saw inside was a light blue gourd. It was not big and looked ordinary. In terms of appearance, it might not be as good as the green gourd he was carrying around. The gourds produced by the evergreen vine.
But some things cannot be expressed by appearance.
There was also a letter in the baggage. After reading it, Chen Youniao immediately understood.
The gourd has a very appropriate name, called "Endless Gourd". It is a magic weapon that has been carefully refined. The formation inside is running, creating a small secret realm that can hold endless drinks.
It is mainly used to store wine and does not have other offensive and defensive functions.
But for people who love wine, this thing is very practical and saves a lot of trouble.
With the Endless Gourd, the original gourd can be eliminated. In fact, the gourd is mainly used to hold medicine and contain medicinal properties, but after all, it is a fruit produced by vines, not a real magic weapon. With use and wear, it will slowly become An ordinary gourd.
The endless gourd was just one of the congratulatory gifts sent by Hu Hu Ning. The three jars of century-old divine bone spirit wine and hundreds of kilograms of ferocious monster meat were even more good things.
Hu Ning really put a lot of thought into this gift, and he was even more willing to hand it out.
The first time was "Laoshan Tongzhen Taoist Scripture"; this time it was priceless ingredients and medicinal wine...
Is it just to repay the favor of saving my life?
Could it be that he really wants to sleep with me?
Thinking of that, Chen Youniao couldn't help but shudder, quickly put aside these distracting thoughts, walked out, and gave the replaced gourd to Lao Tan.
Lao Qin was surprised: "Sir, do you really have to give it to me?"
Chen Youniao said: "I have something better...but you can't drink the wine in the house for now."
I really can’t drink it. The hundred-year-old divine bone spirit wine is by no means an ordinary medicinal wine. The spiritual energy contained in the wine is amazing. Even if Lao Tan is a first-class warrior, he will not be able to bear it if he drinks it. The spiritual wine turns into poisonous wine, and the energy and blood in the meridians burst out.
die.
The same is true for the flesh and blood of monsters.
But if you pay attention, it is okay to dilute it and taste a little bit. But doing so will not only make the taste worse, but also have no meaning. It is a pure waste.
After Lao Qin retired, Chen Youniao began to open the jar and fill the wine jar.
He was very depleted from practicing the Flying Sword. The meal given by Senior Brother Chiyang was just to satisfy his craving, and he needed to continue to replenish his food later. In addition, there was also Thrush.
Chapter completed!
