The waiter pointed disdainfully at the Number One Scholar Guild Hall opposite: "This place was just built more than ten years ago. There was indeed a number one scholar among the guests who stayed there, and there has never been another one since." "Our family..." He spread out his five fingers and said proudly, "Five top picks have come out in a row." Then he pointed to the Zhuangyuan Guild Hall: "And in their family, even the number of Jinshi is pitiful." "If their family hadn't taken over the title of Zhuangyuan Hall, our family would be worthy of the name." While speaking, he looked at Fu Ciyi and Li Xinheng up and down: "Look at you two, one is so good-looking, he is not the material for the number one scholar at all. The other is simply a martial artist, useless for anything. The number one scholar is not determined by size." Caiyu was furious: "Why do you talk like this?" The waiter smiled: "My guildhouse is not a place where just anyone can stay. It needs to be recommended by the government seal. Do you have one? Besides, my guildhouse is almost full, and not all cats and dogs can stay here." When he heard "Agou", the veins on Li Xinheng's neck popped out, and he clenched his fists and prepared to take action. He was pushed back by Fu Ciyi's glance. Upon seeing this, the waiter of the Zhuangyuan Guild Hall immediately came over to greet the guest: "Sir, please come to my house."

"My family doesn't need a seal recommendation, and the price is affordable." Unlike the waiter at Gaosheng Guild Hall, the visitor was very enthusiastic. Yan Funing looked at Fu Ciyi and called softly: "Husband, where shall we live?" In fact, she didn't know him very well and didn't know what his state of mind was. Although test scores are related to strength, the mentality before the test is particularly important. This does not mean that these implicit things are unimportant. Candidates with a bad mentality will be affected. Fu Ciyi said coldly: "I'll stay at the Zhuangyuan Hall." The young man from Zhuangyuan Guild Hall said hello. Lead Fu Ciyi and the others to their guild hall. Behind me came the shout of the waiter of Gaosheng Guild Hall: "There is a rumor circulating here that people who live in the No. 1 Scholar Guild Hall are no longer destined to be the No. 1 scholar." After shouting, he burst out laughing. Yan Fu lost her temper and was about to turn around to argue, but Fu Ciyi blocked her face and stopped her. "I'm not angry, and you don't need to be angry." "As long as your husband doesn't care." Just as the couple was about to enter the Zhuangyuan Hall, there was another sound of a carriage stopping behind them. The car stopped in front of Gaosheng Guild Hall, and the driver handed a letter to the waiter. The waiter looked at it and stepped forward with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Lu introduced me here. Please come in quickly. The best courtyard is ready." Upon hearing the words "Master Lu", Yan Funing thought the person coming was Lu Wenfeng. His uncle was a fifth-rank Beijing official, so it was understandable that he recommended Lu Wenfeng to live there.

Just when she looked sideways, what she saw was not Lu Wenfeng. But Fu Minghe. After just one glance, she followed Fu Ciyi's footsteps and followed the waiter into the club. The waiter introduced: "Our home is a small courtyard. Each courtyard has a small kitchen. Guests can cook and eat by themselves, or they can come to the dining hall to eat." "Each courtyard considers that candidates have family members and followers, big or small." He glanced at Fu Ciyi and the others, and then said, "There are four of you, so there must be no fewer rooms in the courtyard." The shopkeeper saw his waiters finally bringing customers in and welcomed them happily: "The four guests have good eyesight. Our prices are the most reasonable." Yan Funing stepped forward and asked, "How much does a four-room courtyard cost?" The shopkeeper smiled enthusiastically: "Two taels of silver a day, what do you think?" Yan Funing thought for a while, she stayed at a big inn last night and it cost one or two and a half silver just to get a room. Based on this calculation, the price of the club is affordable. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper said again: "I have to say it first. This is a guild hall, specially for students and candidates to live in. The price is much more affordable than an inn, but it cannot be compared with an inn." "Hot water is not provided, so you have to heat it yourself, and you have to clean the guest room yourself. You have to pay for meals in the hall." "I wonder if any of you can accept it?" Seeing that they didn't say anything, the shopkeeper quickly introduced: "We also have a Datong shop, which offers 250 yuan a night, specifically for candidates from poor family backgrounds." Li Xinheng and Fu Ciyi said, "Master, I can sleep in Datongbu." This way you only need a smaller yard and save money. Fu Ciyi said: "I want a courtyard with four rooms." The shopkeeper smiled when he heard this: "Okay, what a refreshing person." After that, lead them to the courtyard in person. As he walked, he said: "If the guest officer wins the Jinshi, you can get a discount at the final checkout. The higher the ranking, the better the discount." "Although our waiter doesn't run around like an inn, he does the best job of looking at the rankings." Not long after, Fu Ciyi, Yan Funing and the others followed the shopkeeper into a small courtyard. The courtyard is square, with two rooms in the middle and a side room on the left and right. There is a small kitchen in the front corner of the house with only one stove. The corner at the back of the house is probably a hut, which is better for its concealment. There is a stone table and four stone benches in the courtyard. There is also a well on the side. A bamboo rack for drying clothes was set up next to the well. After looking at several other small courtyards, Yan Funing still liked what she saw at first. Fu Ciyi saw it and immediately made an appointment with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and asked: "When will the guest check in?" Fu Ciyi said: "Today." Yan Funing asked: "Is there a stable for use? We came with a carriage." The shopkeeper said: "Yes, yes, of course. The stables are free, just the work of fodder and feeding the horses, the guest has to do it by himself." After leaving the club, Fu Ciyi asked Yan Funing: "Are you satisfied?" Yan Funing said frankly: "It's a bit more expensive than renting a house, but fortunately there is no requirement for the length of stay, and the price is also affordable." After solving the accommodation problem, the group of four headed to the inn. Entering the busy Zhuque Street, Caiyu pointed to a clothing store: "Miss, look there are veils for sale there." "Come on, let's go take a look." Yan Funing walked a few steps quickly, turned to Fu Ciyi, who was slowly following behind her, and said, "Will you accompany me, or should you go back to the inn first?" At this moment, a woman came out of the corner and bumped into Yan Funing. "Be careful." Fu Ciyi quickly reached out to help. Yan Funing's forehead collided with that of the woman. The woman's forehead was fine, but Yan Funing's forehead immediately turned red. She hissed, closed her eyes and reached out to cover the pain. But the woman shouted excitedly, pulling Yan Funing's arm and shaking her hard: "Fairy, fairy!" Yan Funing opened her eyes and saw clearly the woman who collided with her. "Pang Anmeng?" "It's me! It's me." Pang Anmeng immediately hid behind Yan Funing and Fu Ciyi, and then signaled to Li Xinheng and Caiyu: "You two, help me block them too." Yan Funing didn't know why: "What's wrong?" Pang Anmeng shrank his neck and lowered his head: "My brother is chasing me, please help me block him!" In just a moment, a tall man with a sword came after him. The person who came here was dressed in smart clothes, and he looked a lot like Pang Anmeng. There was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes, but he still had an air of elegance. Pang Gaozhuo searched for his sister, glanced at Fu Ciyi, and was startled. (End of chapter)
