After eating and drinking, Wei Feng left with Cang Gou, thinking secretly in his mind that it was only the beginning of July, and the first examination of the academy would only start on August 25th. There was still more than a month left, so he must find something to do.
There is less than twenty taels of silver left in the money bag. The consumption in Feiniao Town is not lower than that in Tianyang City. He and Cang Gou usually don’t know how to be frugal in spending money. If it doesn’t rain, the money bag may be lost one day. It's almost empty.
But just relying on picking up money on rainy days is not a problem. After all, he has to find a way to make money. Wei Feng has already made plans for this. He took the time to code along the way and has saved several volumes of idle books. Now he is in Walk around the streets and see where the shops are cheaper to rent.
He kept asking around, but the more he asked, the darker his face became. It wasn't that he had endured the disdainful looks of many shopkeepers, but he just felt that the rent here was a bit high, and he began to doubt whether his decision was reliable.
The rent of the shops along the street is easily dozens of taels per month. He needs to have dozens of taels. He has lived in an inn for more than a month, so why rent a shop?
He began to think about whether to change his life to hunting, but not to mention whether the money earned from selling prey would be enough to live in an inn, there was no place for hunting near Feiniao Town, and there were so many people coming and going on the official road and in the town. The excitement was so great that even if there were prey nearby, they would have been frightened and migrated.
He was preparing to take the Academy Exam, otherwise he could collect some information on a rainy day, act like a trickster and cheat a sum of money before leaving.
"Let me, let me..." "Let me..."
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a commotion behind him, all shouting to get out of the way. Wei Feng subconsciously moved a few steps to the side, and then turned his head to look.
The crowd at the back shouted spontaneously, and the people in front would avoid it and follow the shout to pass on the message. The bustling crowd separated into a lane.
Not long after, a group of ten or so horses came, crossing the middle of the road with their horses hooves trampling, heading towards the academy with great swagger.
"Master Le is still so fresh, handsome and personable..."
"That's wrong. In terms of handsomeness, it depends on Young Master Fang..."
"Didn't you two notice that Miss Shen was among them? That's how picturesque her features are..."
After they left, many people on the roadside were talking about it.
Wei Feng was surprised and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, may I ask you guys, who was that person just now? Why did everyone consciously give way to them?"
When the conversation was interrupted by Wei Feng, one of them turned around and looked over. First, he glanced up and down at Wei Feng. Seeing that he was wearing ordinary clothes, he said with a smile, "You just came to Feiniao Town not long ago, right?"
Without waiting for Wei Feng to answer, he thought to himself: "I think so, otherwise I wouldn't have recognized Mr. Le and the others. I am a kind-hearted person. I would like to give you a few words today. If you want to survive here, you must know , it is better to be respectful when you meet the disciples of the academy, especially the disciples of the inner courtyard."
The entire town is built around the academy, and the main consumers are the academy students, especially the inner courtyard disciples.
Every year in the town, there are many people who are rewarded with a large sum of money by the disciples of the inner court because of the good service of the store. There are also a lot of people who can't live because they have offended the disciples of the academy. Therefore, those who make a living here face the situation of the academy. Students, your posture should always be lowered.
"The ones who just passed by were a group of inner court disciples, headed by Mr. Ledao Yule..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another person beside him: "What is the leader? He is just keeping pace with Young Master Fang Zi Yuanfang."
Another person also shouted: "Shen Yeqin, Miss Shen is just more gentle and doesn't compete with them..."
After saying a few words, the three of them started arguing again, which reminded Wei Feng of the way some true fans were jealous of their idols in his previous life, and he couldn't help laughing.
The person who spoke first saw him laughing here and couldn't help frowning: "Why are you laughing? You don't know the names of Mr. Le and the others. Country people have never seen the world..."
He is not afraid of offending Wei Feng. If candidates from all over the country come to Feiniao Town in some time, he will not dare to judge people by their appearance. However, it is still early and Wei Feng is holding the horse in a dusty state. He must be thinking He was more visible to outsiders who took advantage of the academy exams to find a job, so the contempt in his words was not concealed at all.
Wei Feng shrugged and didn't bother to argue with him. He led the horse and continued to move forward, letting the three of them continue to argue. Although he had only walked a few streets, he felt that the residents of Feiniao Town had a sense of superiority. Already have some experience.
In just one or two hours, I have been called "countryman" several times. It seems that in the eyes of people here, everyone except Tianyang City is countryman.
However, it can also be heard from their few words that the three people just mentioned seem to be well-known figures in the previous academy. Among them, the one named Le Daoyu was the first place in the preliminary examination. It is indeed amazing, but It has nothing to do with him. The top priority is to find a store with an acceptable price.
Land is at a premium in Feiniao Town, and it is almost impossible to find a store with a large customer flow and cheap rent. However, the business Wei Feng wanted to do did not require a large customer flow, so he simply went to the more remote streets. Go.
However, even in these more remote streets, the rent is twenty to thirty two months, and the minimum rent is three months, which is not what Wei Feng can afford.
After wandering around, Wei Feng simply found a street corner, put the package under his butt, leaned against the wall to rest for a while while enjoying the breeze, then took out his pen and ink and started typing.
It’s not that I’m tired or showing off, it’s just that it’s going to rain in a while, so I just need to take a break and wait for work. Maybe I will pick up a few banknotes with a denomination of several thousand taels later, so I don’t have to think of ways to make money. .
Although he doesn't dare to use his talent in this place, predicting when it will rain has almost become his passive skill, so there is no need for effort.
He was so enthusiastic about writing that he didn't notice that in a calligraphy and painting shop called "Fuyuanzhai" opposite, a middle-aged man lying on a rocking chair was watching him write furiously.
Wei Feng wrote for a while, and his neck seemed to be sore from having lowered his head for too long. He pretended to raise his head to rub his cervical vertebrae, and glanced across the way inadvertently. He saw the middle-aged man, and even looked at each other inadvertently. For a moment, he immediately looked away as if nothing had happened.
He originally just found a random street corner to sit down, and really didn't care what shop was opposite. However, after using the [Insight] skill, his five senses were greatly improved, and he seemed to have a sense of being noticed.
At this time, he felt that Youdao's eyes were always watching him, so he pretended to look up casually. However, it seemed that the shopkeeper opposite was just casually looking at him, so he didn't pay much attention and continued to lower his head and code.
"Young man, come in and sit down."
Wei Feng just lowered his head when he heard a plain voice ringing in his ears. He suddenly raised his head and saw the owner of Fuyuanzhai looking at him with a smile, and there was still a street between them. The distance, the sound just now...
