Chapter 23 You Are Cheaper than Me

Although Chen Xiao exposed the fat man as he was eating, he did not blush at all, but instead he should eat for granted.

While eating, he also said:

"Brother, you don't know. My family is poor. My parents sold all the oxen to make me study... I really have no money, so I eat some of your leftovers here..."

As he said that, he deliberately wiped tears that did not exist.

Chen Xiao looked at the fat man wearing silk and satin and said, "Guess me or not?"

"Guess me or not?" the fat man asked back.

"You guy is wearing better clothes than me. Your waist is bulging and you probably have money. Are you crying poor here?" Chen Xiao rolled his eyes.

The fat man said: "It is different to having money and having free meals. As the saying goes, eating parents at home and friends at home. Only by doing these two things can you not be hungry if you are at home or out."

Chen Xiao curled his lips: "I won't be hungry, I'm afraid you will be beaten..."

"It's okay, I'm thick!" said the fat man.

Chen Xiao was convinced: "It's so shameless..."

"Going too much..." The fat man smiled.

Chen Xiao shook his head and heard the fat man say again: "Brother, are you planning to live here today?"

"Yeah!" Chen Xiao nodded.

The fat man smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, I plan so too."

Chen Xiao had a bad premonition. Could this guy have eaten or had to sleep?

As expected, "Why don't you pay the house later? Otherwise, I won't have a place to sleep with you, so it's hard to squeeze in with you..."

Sure enough, he was extremely shameless, but Chen Xiao was not the one who suffered a loss, so he smiled: "Acquaintance is fate, so there is no problem."

As he said that, Chen Xiao planned to go over and pay for the meal and open the room, and suddenly his face changed and said:

"ah?"

The fat man hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"I parted with my friend before, and the money is still there, so I can only get it tomorrow." Chen Xiao said.

The fat man asked, "What should I do?"

Chen Xiao thought for a while: "Brother, everyone is honest. Why don't you pay first? I will treat this meal and the money I have to stay here. I will pay it back to you tomorrow if I get the money."

"It's okay, I'll pay in advance!" The fat man said, taking out the money to pay the bill, and opening three houses.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but want to laugh. This kid is shameless, but his mind is not very good.

The three of them lived in the restaurant for a rest.

It was late, and the three of them had supper again, and the fat man paid the money.

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling got up, and the fat man also got up. After the three of them had breakfast, Chen Xiao said he would go to the tribute courtyard to report.

The fat man was stunned and asked Chen Xiao: "Brother, why don't you go to your friend to get the money first?"

Chen Xiao said: "Oh, no need, I found the silver in the bag last night."

The fat man's eyes lit up and said, "That's it, brother, yesterday, I paid 500 yuan for two meals and accommodation, including the breakfast just now."

Chen Xiao nodded: "Oh, the consumption is quite high!"

The fat man smiled: "Where is the money?"

Chen Xiao: "Money? What money?"

The fat man was stunned: "You promised to ask for it, I just paid in advance? You said you would give it to me?"

Chen Xiao looked at Long Jiuling and asked, "Is this happening?"

Long Jiuling shook his head: "No!"

The fat man was stunned and opened his mouth: "No...no?"

Chen Xiao: "I don't know, don't look for me, I forgot~"

The fat man was anxious: "How can you do this?"

Chen Xiao said seriously: "As the saying goes, eat your parents at home, eat your friends and brothers, you taught me!"

The fat man said desperately: "You...you are cheaper than me~"

Chen Xiao smiled: "Each of each other!"

He left as he said that, Long Jiuling followed Chen Xiao and laughed.

The fat man was stunned and then gritted his teeth: "I met an opponent..."

So he caught up with him in a few steps and decided that he had to win a game back.

After leaving the restaurant, I arrived at the imperial capital's tribute courtyard shortly after walking. This is a place where many scholars in the imperial capital's residence study, and most of the scholars who come here to study are scholars.

Of course, at the previous level, if you become a juren, you will not study here, but go to the Imperial College.

Imperial College is equivalent to a national talent training site.

Basically, even if you don’t have the status of a scholar, you will be a future official.

The Imperial College generally accepts outstanding scholars or juren from the outside, while some officials and royal relatives can go directly to study.

When they arrived at the tribute court, Chen Xiao and Fatty registered with the tribute court with their respective documents, and notified them that half a month later, it was the time for the provincial examination.

During this half month, most scholars who were going to take the imperial examination will study quickly.

It is rare to be as leisurely as Chen Xiao and Fatty.

Chen Xiao was not only leisurely, but also thought about where to go after leaving the tribute courtyard. After all, his father gave him a lot of money. He is now a rich second generation, so why don’t he have fun?

So, that afternoon, Fatty Man was the guide and took Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling to play in the imperial capital.

However, the imperial palace.

The commander of the Imperial Guard spoke to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess has returned to the imperial capital, otherwise..."

"No, this deep palace is not what she wants to stay for a long time. Compared to the stinky face in the palace every day, I hope she can fly freely and happily as she imagined."

After the emperor finished speaking, he got up from the dragon throne and suddenly said:

"In this palace, some people want Jiuer to marry and marry. Some people don't want Jiuer to marry and marry and marry. Only those little people who think that she doesn't care whether she or not will she be able to get married and marry and not harm Jiuer."

The commander of the Imperial Guards was confused when he heard this. The old eunuch beside him probably understood the meaning and his face changed slightly.

"Instead of letting Jiuer become their intrigue target in the palace, you might as well let her be free and comfortable outside!" the emperor added.

The commander of the Imperial Guard nodded: "I will send experts to continue to protect!"

"Well, by the way, you said that boy named Chen Xiao is preparing to take the imperial examination? Look at him, how sure is he?" The emperor was both unhappy and curious about the young man who kidnapped his daughter!

"When you go back to your Majesty, your subordinates have heard him say many times that he will definitely win..." The commander of the Imperial Guard replied.

The emperor frowned: "So confident? Or is it too confident?"

"The subordinates who protect the Ninth Princess under his command said that they had never seen this boy read books and study, but he was eloquent and said that he was good at poetry. He was very popular with Confucian professors in the imperial capital, and he also specially recommended him to the autumn examination."

The emperor was puzzled: "I have never read often and am confident that I can pass the imperial examination? This person... is really unpredictable, so let's wait and see.

If you don’t win the championship at that time, hum, it will be disappointing. If you win... it means you are indeed a talent, so it’s okay to give him an official seat!"

The commander of the Imperial Guard did not reply, the emperor waved his hand to let him leave, and then said to the old eunuch:

"Biography, Professor of Confucianism in the Imperial Capital!"

The old eunuch was shocked and glanced at the emperor. He had been with the emperor for so many years and understood that the emperor would never pay too much attention to anyone.
