Chapter 49 The Price of Going Out Late

It was Second Uncle An who saw that they were waiting for An Xin to take them there in disguise, and he couldn't help but sighed, "They are really just a few kids who haven't grown up yet."

Then she found herself lying in the pavilion in the bamboo forest, eating the fruit that Qingfeng Mingyue fed her, and at the same time, like an unlearned dandy, she teased the maids sitting on both sides of her until their faces turned red.

Uncle An saw this from a distance, staggered, and almost couldn't help but pick up a stick on the side of the road to beat up this bastard niece. But he was afraid that if he hurt her, he would be sorry for his dead brother.

"An Xin, get up quickly, pack up, and take An Rui and the others to the capital." Second Uncle An gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't get going now, you will miss the college entrance examination."

An Xin had been having a very comfortable time these days as she didn't have to teach. She was flirting with her two beautiful maids when she was interrupted by her second uncle.

He looked up and said, "This time the academy exam and the last prefectural exam are both in the same place and examination room. If they can find it, I don't have to go with them."

Second Uncle An glanced at Qing Feng Ming Yue, gritted his teeth, and said something that seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "No, you have to go."

This little girl has nothing to do when she's free. Let's find her something to do.

"Do you want to give away the Wanhua Academy that your father worked so hard to establish to that treacherous old man Wang Renjie for nothing?"

"Okay." An Xin thought about it and agreed.

There will definitely be quite a few students from Cangyun Academy taking part in this college entrance examination, and among them there will definitely be one or two teachers sent to lead the students.

There are also Zhao Kui, Liu Mingjie, and the son of Principal Wang, who are at odds with her, and they will also take the entrance examination this time.

After all, the bet is still there, and she can't be careless.

When Li Ziyu and the other six heard that An Xin was going to take them there, they picked up their packed things and got on the carriage to the provincial capital.

Because they arrived late, all the inns in the city were full, so they had to look for an inn farther away from the examination hall.

Even so, every inn was overcrowded.

When the roof is leaking, it pours.

Before they found the inn, the sky turned gloomy, which taught An Xin a hard lesson. Next time, he had to go to the exam early, otherwise he would not be able to find a place to stay and might get caught in the rain.

Just as raindrops were falling from the sky, An Xin thought of a place where he could make a desperate move, which was the most upscale inn in the city.

The high-end guest rooms there are ridiculously expensive, not something that ordinary students can afford, and they will be even more expensive at this time.

An Xin didn't think about it for a moment, and it was also because she would not choose to stay in such an outrageously luxurious guest room that would cost more than ten or twenty taels of silver a night, and she would not choose to be ripped off.

"The most upscale inn in the city, Xingyue Inn, would you like to go and enjoy the luxury of the room rate?" An Xin asked democratically.

Everyone frowned as they saw the raindrops falling outside the car window becoming increasingly dense.

Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes: "Do you want to live with us? Do we have a choice?"

An Xin touched his chin and said, "It seems not."

"That's all." Not wanting to waste any more time talking to An Xin, Jiang Zhou closed the carriage window to prevent rain from splashing in and wetting his clothes.

This little brat will die if he doesn't scold someone for a while.

“…”

An Xin saw the carriage windows being closed one after another by the people on the opposite side, and gritted his teeth: "Evil disciple."

She asked this out of loneliness.

In the end, it was she who made the decision. An Xin: "Go to Xingyue Inn."

"yes!"

Da Zhuang drove the carriage in the lead, followed by three other carriages.

When they arrived at the Xingyue Inn, a few people walked into the lobby holding umbrellas. There were several tables of guests eating inside.

The shopkeeper was startled when he saw them coming in the rain. He didn't expect that someone would come to stay overnight at this time.

Seeing their ages and the unique temperament of scholars, the shopkeeper guessed that An Xin and the others should be the students who came to take part in this college entrance examination.

"Boss, are there any rooms available?" An Xin asked.

The slightly plump shopkeeper, with a polite smile on his round face, said with regret, "I'm sorry, my dear guests, our store is full.

It's getting late, you should go to another inn and see if there are any vacant rooms."

"Are all students nowadays so rich?" The stingy Zhu Shijing raised his head in surprise and let out a light sigh.

“……”The other friends were also shocked.

Even if you have never stayed there, you have heard of Xingyue, the most upscale inn in the city. The No. 1 room is just like its name, and it is extremely expensive in this place.

One look at this magnificently decorated lobby will reveal the level of luxury and extravagance that can be seen from the consumption here.

Not only are the rooms nice and expensive, the food is delicious but also expensive.

This is a paradise for rich people and a hell for poor students.

If An Xin and his group hadn't really been unable to find a place to live, they wouldn't have walked into this crappy place.

The shopkeeper told them that there were no rooms left. Are there so many rich people in this world?

The fact is that there is a gap between An Xin and others’ ideas and reality.

The most upscale rooms at the Xingyue Inn are extremely expensive, but not many people can afford to stay in such rooms, so naturally there are fewer "top-grade" rooms.

During exam time, there are many people like them who arrive late and cannot book a room.

Therefore, some students from well-off families can still afford to live with two or three classmates for a few days.

The poor An Xin and his friends stood at the door of the inn and looked out. The sound of the rain made them not want to go out again.

An Xin looked around the spacious hall and said, "How about we discuss this with the shopkeeper~"

Jiang Zhou, who was as shrewd as a man, immediately understood what An Xin wanted to say, and said with gritted teeth: "No, I would rather not take the exam than embarrass myself like this."

An Xin looked at the other people, and there was also obvious rejection in his eyes.

"She spread her hands and said, "Okay." If no one wanted to, what could she do?

At this time, a young man wearing a blue brocade robe and with elegant eyes was sitting by the window in the lobby, looking at An Xin and the others with pity in his eyes.

"It's the college entrance examination period, and it's raining so hard outside." The young man glanced at the stern man opposite him and said weakly, "It's so late, what if they can't find an inn to stay in."

The man sighed softly with a look of helplessness on his face. This cousin from his uncle's family was good in every way except that he had a soft heart and was too naive.

With a personality like his, if he had no one to protect him, even if he passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom successfully, he would probably be eaten up by others without leaving anything behind as soon as he stepped into the treacherous officialdom.

Fortunately, my uncle is the Taifu and my brother is the Minister of Rites. With their support in officialdom, my little cousin's future career should not be difficult.

Since his cousin had spoken, Kong Jue turned around and instructed the servant beside him, "Ashan, go tell the shopkeeper to bring those students to the backyard and live with us in Wenkui Garden."
