I am a winner with Chinese poetry
Chapter 75 Settlement
"Brother Wei, my house is only two stories high and can't hold so many people. Besides, it's just me and my mother, so we don't need so many servants!"
If Wei Yu continued to talk, I guess even if a few people were to sleep in the yard, the house wouldn't be able to accommodate them.
"Well, how about I give you a bigger house?" Wei Yu stopped and said seriously.
"Stop, stop, stop. Big Brother Wei, we really don't need any more. A cook and a doorman are enough, and at most a maid to serve my mother. If there are more, not to mention that there won't be enough room, even with so many people it's enough to give my mother a headache every day!"
"Pfft..." Wei Rao couldn't help but chuckle. Her beautiful eyes moved as she looked at Gu Yunzhou with a hint of ridicule in her eyes: "Brother Gu, others are eager to receive gifts, but you push away the benefits that are right in front of you!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Wei Feng also said seriously, "Yes, Brother Gu is not one of those flatterers who seek favors. I don't know how many people have taken silver and treasures, just to exchange for a poem from Brother Gu. As long as Brother Gu is willing, any house and servants are no problem. It's just that Brother Gu has always been very low-key and unwilling to take such shortcuts. Otherwise, wouldn't our Jinzhou County houses be at Brother Gu's disposal?" He was full of praise and admiration for Gu Yunzhou's talent.
"Alright, alright, both of you, stop bragging. I'm almost believing you if you keep on. You have to understand, there are always people better than you. My knowledge might be considered decent in Jinzhou County, but the world is so vast, we can't be the frog sitting at the bottom of the well! There are countless talented people in this world, and I don't think I can look down on the heroes of the world!"
Gu Yunzhou smiled and waved his hand, not taking their praise too seriously. After all, Blue Star alone had already produced countless outstanding talents, not to mention the vaster Sky Star Continent.
Calculated by area, the entire Tianxing Continent is more than ten times larger than Blue Star. Even if the areas where monsters and barbarians live are excluded, the total human population far exceeds that of Blue Star.
Not to mention that there is no such thing as family planning or not getting married or having children in this world. On the contrary, due to years of fighting against monsters and barbarians, all countries strongly encourage childbirth, and it is common for a family to have three or five children.
"Brother Gu, don't be so modest. I once went to study at the Tian Academy in the imperial capital. From what I have seen, except for the shorter time you have practiced, you are in no way inferior to those gifted sons of heaven in other aspects!" Wei Rao spoke sincerely, and it was obvious that he really believed so.
"Then I'll take your good wishes!" Gu Yunzhou smiled and nodded slightly to her. The sunlight sprinkled on his body, as if covering his whole body with a hazy halo. Wei Rao looked at him and couldn't help but blushing.
In the days that followed, Gu Yunzhou became extremely busy. He needed to move house, arrange for the servants to stay, and visit those who had helped him one by one. It was not until the day before the academy was about to open that he finally finished all the matters at hand.
Now he and Qin had officially moved into their new house. Although it was renovated later, the previous owner had maintained it very well. After experiencing the initial panic, Qin gradually adapted to her new role, thanks to Nanny Sun's guidance.
I have to say that the one hundred taels of silver were well spent. At least it helped the Qin family get through the initial chaotic period smoothly, and everything began to go smoothly.
That morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Gu Yunzhou washed and dressed early, then said to Qin, who was giving him earnest instructions, with a smile on his face: "Mother, I have to report to the academy. If you feel bored, you can ask Nanny Sun to accompany you for a walk nearby." After that, he prepared to go out.
"Hey, mother knows. Don't worry about the family. With Nanny Sun helping me and so many servants waiting on me, mother's life is quite comfortable. Also, you will be reporting to the academy soon, remember to get along well with your classmates!"
It seems that no matter how old a child grows, he will always be a child in the eyes of his parents. Even though he knows that his son is already capable of taking care of himself, the mother still can't help but remind him subconsciously.
After Gu Yunzhou left, he noticed that there were significantly more people on the street today than usual, making it seem particularly lively. And the busiest place was naturally the four major academies.
Gu Yunzhou did not choose to go by carriage, but walked towards the Wenyuan with the servant Yantai he had just accepted. In fact, his new home was not far from the Wenyuan, and it would only take about an incense stick of time to walk there.
Before I even reached the entrance to the Academy of Arts, I heard a delicate cry from afar: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk! Where did you come from, you weakling? How dare you apply to our Academy of Arts? Let me tell you, the Academy of Arts needs warriors and wise men who are brave and resourceful, who dare to face the demons and barbarians head-on, not pathetic little whimpers like you."
Hearing this, Gu Yunzhou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He walked around the crowd of people watching the excitement in front and took a closer look. He saw a soft and cute little girl with her hands on her hips, shouting at a few young people in a menacing manner.
"You're too overbearing! This academy isn't run by your family, so why do you have the final say? Whether we're qualified to enter the academy should be decided by the examiners, not by you showing off here!"
There were three men accused by the woman. They all seemed a little afraid of this girl with a strong aura, but since it concerned their own future, one of the older men still plucked up the courage, suppressed his inner palpitations, and spoke back.
It wasn't that they were too cowardly, but that girl didn't even frown and easily crushed a stone as big as a millstone into stone chips with one foot. Their bodies were not as hard as the millstone.
"That's right. We are all Confucian scholars of high rank, and Brother Jiang is even an eighth-rank scholar!" Another one also spoke up bravely.
"That's right, that's right. You, girl, don't have the final say on the exam for the College of Arts!" After someone spoke up, the few of them gradually calmed down. At least they could stand without their legs getting weak.
"Tsk, you weaklings, you dare to come and take part in the Arts Academy exam? Forget it, since you're so eager to get beaten up, I won't be a bad guy and stop you. Enter from here, and remember, our Arts Academy exams don't allow you to quit midway! Even if you want to leave, you have to wait until the end of the round!"
The girl sneered and actually stopped trying to stop him. Instead, she pointed behind her with a gloating look on her face, showing an expression of anticipation for the show.
Seeing that she no longer tried to stop them, the few people who had been a little indignant hesitated again. It was obvious that they were enjoying the show, so this test couldn't be a scam!
