More than a dozen candidates who arrived first brought their children and servants into the inn. Many of them had friendships, but they gathered together in groups of three or five. Only Li Ling's master and servant were a little lonely. After all, he really had no interaction with these scholars. In addition, his special identity, others could not think of how to get along with each other. They just smiled and nodded and greeted him when they passed by him.

Li Ling didn't take this too seriously. He knew that he really needed to make friends with classmates of the same age in the future, but he was not busy for a while. After all, now everyone has not even passed the exam for a child. It is not too late to slowly interact with real scholars when he passes the scholar.

Today's Wanjia Inn business was quite prosperous. Four or five people gathered at the counter alone and were discussing the booking of a house, while someone next to him was taken straight up by his friend. Obviously, this mansion trial made the already lively mansion city more populated, so naturally it stimulated the local inn business.

But even so, the service attitude of the inn was quite good. When they saw that 20 or 30 people came in, a person who looked like a manager immediately came forward with a smile: "Do you guys want to stay in a hotel? Our Wanjia Inn is the best inn in the entire city. Not only does it have a room in the upper room, but it also has a quiet and quiet courtyard specially designed for the scholars to prepare for the exam. I wonder how many rooms do you want?"

At this moment, there was a candidate in his forties who looked at the calm and calm person who came forward to everyone and asked, "Is the housing prices here the same as before? I remember that it costs two taels of silver a day to get a house, so you can live in two to three people, right?"

"That's right, the price is naturally not changing, but the number of rooms available is limited. If you want to check in as soon as possible."

"It's easy to say, then we'll have to..." The candidates who looked back at the others. They could take their servants in a carriage and dared to enter such a luxurious inn were all wealthy people at home, so they said: "Give me a room."

"I also want a room..." Li Ling also said casually. Two taels of silver are indeed very expensive a day, but in order to prepare for the exam, I paid for it. As for the better environment, I earned it for spending.

"Okay, there are twelve rooms in total. You guys, please come to the counter with the youngest to pay the store for three days, and then someone will take you upstairs." The manager greeted him enthusiastically and led them to the counter where the two of them were staying.

The movement here naturally attracted two guests dressed as a scholar who was about to leave. One of them was in his twenties and was dressed in a luxurious manner and suddenly settled on the two candidates: "Oh, aren't these two gentlemen, Jiang Feng and Huang Mian from Jiangcheng County?"

"Who am I? Is it my brother Gongguan from Pingjiang County? Why? Didn't you swear to be able to pass the scholar in the previous episode? Is it back today to take the exam?" Jiang Feng's face changed and he said sarcastically.

Gong Guan's face suddenly sank: "Don't you guys be the same that time. I'd say that if I couldn't get into the scholar's exam last year, I wouldn't come again in the future. Why don't you take the words seriously?"

The two sides laughed at each other and heard Li Ling and the others shaking their heads secretly. What is this? Is the child quarreling? But before anyone could come forward to persuade him, the companion next to the palace snorted again: "Brother Gong, what nonsense are you talking to these fools in Jiangcheng County? You have lost our own face. A small place where you can't get ten scholars every year is worthy of comparison with us?"

"Mr. Ji, what you said is that you are declining by yourself." Gong Guan immediately showed even more disdain, looked at them with contempt, and wanted to leave.

"You... are simply arrogant and ignorant. Isn't it just that you have had a few more scholars in Pingjiang County in the past two years? You are not that you have passed the exam for the scholar. What's so proud of?"

"I think his metrics and insights have nothing to do with scholars. Why should we be angry with such a fool?"

"What I mean is that I see that this person has no flesh on his face and triangular eyes, and is the most harsh and ignorant. If anyone can come to take the imperial examination, it is obvious that there is no one in Pingjiang County..."

The map guns of the other two immediately raised the anger of the candidates in Jiangcheng County who had no intention of mixing the conflicts between the two sides. They immediately fought back one by one, and even sarcastic words were sarcastic.

However, Li Ling, although he looked at the youngest, was actually the oldest. Seeing them whispering each other without dirty words, he felt amused and laughed. He felt like he was watching online trolls fighting in later generations. It was said that literati were inferior to each other and liked to join their fellow villagers the most. This time he saw it.

The Young Master Ji and Gong Guan obviously did not expect that everyone's reaction was so fierce. After being criticized by everyone, they did not even have the chance to say anything. They were so angry that their cheeks turned white and their bodies trembled slightly. It was not until the shopkeeper next to them rushed up to persuade them to make peace that they stopped talking, and then they handed Lu Yin and other things to book a room.

Just as the shopkeeper agreed with a smile and asked someone to arrange to send everyone to the room, the young master Ji, who had a gloomy face, suddenly said, "Slow down!"

"What else do you want? Is it because the bickering is not an opponent, but I still want to do it?" Jiang Feng said first. The others were also shocked. They are scholars and have always praised themselves as gentlemen. Of course, they don't want to really fight with others. Fortunately, there are their own slaves next to them, and the number of people will only be greater than that of the other party.

Mr. Ji snorted, ignoring their reaction at all, but looked at the inn shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, there is always someone who comes first and then comes? My guest room has not been decided yet, why should I come with them first?"

"Young Master, have you decided to cross the courtyard with the second place behind?" The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, but he replied with a smile.

"Of course I want it, but I still want to go to the room. How many rooms are there in your inn? I have to take all of them." As he said, he swept to the people of Jiangcheng County with some pride. I have decided to go to this tone today!

Okay, after suffering a loss in words, Young Master Ji actually planned to throw coins to fight back.

"How can you make such a reason? You only have five or six people, and you can take up all the houses?" Jiang Feng suddenly jumped out again with anger, and then the others also objected. Even Li Ling frowned. It seemed that this person is not small and his family is quite rich.

"Hmph, fair transaction, I am happy. What can you do to me? The shopkeeper, why don't you keep the account? Are you afraid that I won't have money to give it to you?" Master Ji said as he said, the slave next to him immediately slapped a huge package on the counter. When he untied it, the dozens of silver inside were exposed, which were several hundred taels, which was indeed enough to pack all the houses.

"This, young master, that's not what happened. Although our inn could have been booked before, it didn't work this time. After all, there are still many candidates from all over the country who want to stay. Moreover, you spent money and didn't check in, which is really a waste. There is really inappropriateness." The shopkeeper quickly persuaded him that if the business was really going to be done, the reputation of his inn would be ruined.

Young Master Ji was getting angry at this moment and said ignorantly: "I don't care about this. Since I paid for it today, you have to do this business with me. Otherwise, we will not finish it."

"You..." The shopkeeper saw sweat on his forehead. It was hard for him to deal with this matter. After all, both parties were guests of the inn. At this moment, another follower from Master Ji walked up with a faint smile. He didn't say anything just now, but he came to the shopkeeper and whispered: "You may not know our young master's identity, right? He is the eldest son and only grandson of our Pingjiang Ji family, and he is deeply loved by the master. Our Ji family has had a lot of business dealings with your Wan family in recent years. Take the bookstore for example, it is our two families who work together to make money. If this is a trivial matter that hurts the harmony between the two parties, it would be a bad idea."

This is much more irritating than Young Master Ji, but the shopkeeper is even more panicked. The other party's threatening intention is already very clear. As long as he doesn't like Young Master Ji's heart and causes the relationship between the two families to become worse, he will have to bear the consequences.

But he was still hesitant and couldn't help saying: "But...but..."

"I understand, if we give all the room to us, how many room to go now?"

"Uh, there are eighteen more rooms."

"Then we..." The man turned around and smiled, "We will have ten more rooms, even if the residence arranged by my Ji family for the candidates in Pingjiang County who will come here next. Do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"

After he said this, the shopkeeper really couldn't refuse. After all, they had already made concessions and found a very beautiful reason. Not only did they not make it difficult to say that they were snatching people's guest rooms, but they could gain a good impression from scholars in Pingjiang County.

Li Ling watched coldly from behind, and secretly shouted at this. This guy is much better than that of Young Master Ji. He took all the initiative in a few words, which is really impeccable. Moreover, it may be a differentiation of the candidates in Jiangcheng County. After all, the middle room is too small and the environment is poor, so it is not what they are willing to live in.

After hesitating for a moment, the shopkeeper finally compromised and nodded, "Then let's do what this gentleman wants." As he said that, he looked at more than ten candidates in Jiangcheng County with apologies: "My gentlemen, please forgive me. Now there are only eight rooms left in the store. Why not adjust it first to see if you can squeeze a little, or go to the middle room, etc., and whether you can get out of the room when you see it." But he couldn't mention the quiet cross-yard behind, the price was high, it cost fifteen taels a day, but only three bedrooms.
