Poor.

After returning to the house, Yu Jin liquidated his property for the first time and was disappointed to come to a conclusion.

I have a small house with a garden. Although it is a bit dilapidated, it is better than being left on the street. Fortunately, my predecessor is not inhumane and has no debts. However, the situation is not optimistic. Apart from my mother and my younger sister, I have no other income. My family is so poor that I am so poor that I have a tiny bit of silver on my body. Now I have one or two pieces of silver on my body, and I have 342 cents left. This is what I left after buying rice and meat.

The food and food cost money every day. The house has to be worn and repaired, and the little sister's clothes don't fit well. The most depressing thing is that she has a bad reputation and it is not easy to make money.

When you find that silver is a grandson when you have too much, you can spend it willfully, but when you don’t have it, you will also pay it as a grandfather.

He didn't want money to be his "grandfather", Yu Jin drank a bowl of sweet egg porridge the next morning, and then made a look at the water tank, preparing to find an errand that could make a living.

Yesterday, I was worried and didn't observe it carefully. After a different mood, Yu Jin felt that Yuyao County was still very lively, with many shops and prosperous markets. It is worthy of being a place of talented people. They are all polite, just selling vegetables and shoes on the street. When they talk, a few classics of the predecessors or writing one or two limericks.

It seemed that the air was filled with a scent of books.

Of course, there are exceptions:

"Young Master Yu, please contact me. The door is on the east side. Our store will not recruit people for the time being."

"You prodigal son, get out of the way, don't you help me. If you want to take the opportunity to molest me, an old woman? You're such a gentle scum."

"What, you want to apply for a job as a occupant? Mr. Yu, please Jide, Xiao Lao's daughter is only nine years old, please let her go."

"Young Master Yu, it's not bad. You can write and calculate. You are still a scholar. You said you don't have a salary for a few days to try. I'm very moved. Let me tell you clearly. If you invite you, I guess the female relatives in this county will not be there and their reputation will be damaged. Please seek another job."

...

Damn, Yu Jin wanted to cry forever. How did this predecessor do? He just crossed the street and helped the old woman push the cart. He thought he wanted to take the opportunity to be careless and wanted to apply for a job. He either had concerns or thought he liked their daughter, niece or a woman, and had no money to do it for nothing.

It was so sad.

Yu Jin found that the first thing he had to do was not how to make money, but how to restore his reputation. In fact, even though he was notorious now, he could not make money.

With a "bang", Yu Jin slapped his thigh hard and gritted his teeth and said to himself: "You guy took all the advantage and patted your butt and left. Let me take the blame for you and wipe your butt, and I'm so angry."

"Oh, is this Brother Yu? Why? There is someone who is depressed here. You won't be chased by a dog after you go over the wall, right?"

"Haha, this is not sure."

"I heard that Brother Yu has a unique taste, from eighty-year-old woman to eight-year-old girl, she is interested in it. It's so fraternity."

"I've rarely seen Brother Yu recently. I heard that he was beaten by the young master of the Ma family and broke his third leg. It seems that the rumors are untrue. Brother Yu steals jade and incense again."

"Hahaha….."

Just as Yu Jin was dazed, a harsh sound suddenly sounded in his ears, followed by a burst of sarcasm and ridicule. When he looked up, he saw a group of scholars dressed in blue shirts and silk scarves surrounding him. Many of them had jade pendants around their waists and paper fans in their hands. One of them had a big face, a medium-sized figure, and a gold-patterned paper fan in his hands, looking at him with disdain.

This person is so familiar, oh, I remember that this person is the eldest son of Yu Fang, the Yu family's parent room. Although both have the surname Yu, Yu Fang is a serious and famous family. The future successor of the Yu family is not like Yu Jin. Although his dead father worked hard in every way, he would not be recognized by others if he wanted to become a branch of Yu Yao Yu family.

It is said that literati are inferior to each other. These guys speak beautifully and do not contain any dirty words, but they all have bones in their words. Yu Fang did not even hide his contempt, and he did not care that his surname was Yu, so he directly sarcasticized him.

From the remaining memories in my mind, Yu Jin knew that he had taken the exam for Tongsheng at the age of nine and passed the scholar at the age of fourteen. He was very glorious for a while, and even compared Yu Fang, who had been smart since childhood. So some boring people said that Yu Jin's bloodline was relatively pure, and the talent of the Yu family also came to him.

In this way, Yu Fang was hated by Yu Fang and often sarcasticated Yu Jin. Many of the comments about Yu Jin's bad reputation were caused by Yu Fang behind the scenes.

Although he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, Yu Jin was not impulsive and said seriously: "Haha, you all laughed. How can you steal jade and incense in broad daylight? Now Yu is just focusing on learning and grinding knowledge."

Pecking and grinding knowledge?

When Yu Fang heard this, he sneered. Yu Jin was quite good at studying in the past, but after looking for flowers and willows, he was already useless. He was laughed at for the daily drinking party, poetry party because he couldn't write poems, so he didn't dare to attend later. He wandered around here early in the morning, saying that he was doing academic research, and even if people didn't laugh, the dog barked.

"Oh, is that?" Yu Fang smiled, and did not point it out, but said with a "sincere" look: "The photo of the Bai Wall of Zuixian Tower has expired today. Everyone is preparing to join in the fun. Brother Yu, go with you? Let me wait and see how much Brother Yu's knowledge has grown."

As soon as Yu Fang spoke, the loyal follower named Zhao Zishan next to him immediately agreed: "Yes, Brother Yu, go with you. If you can leave some writing on the white wall of Zuixian Tower, this is a good thing to become famous."

"Yes, we all wrote poems on it, which is considered to be a throw-in and jade. Only Brother Yu did not leave any magic treasures. How can this work? Go quickly and go quickly."

"That's right, this is a major event in our Yuyao literary world. How can this incident be missed by Brother Yu? Go together."

Everyone also made invitations. The two anxious people pulled Yu Jin's sleeves and enthusiastically pulled him to participate in the so-called literary event.

Yu Jin knew that although the technology level was not high in ancient times, the ancients had long used advertising. In order to attract customers, many businessmen tried their best to advertise. Yuyao's literary style was soaring, and many merchants would hold pairs and poems to expand their popularity. Zuixianlou is the most luxurious restaurant in Yuyao. It has good wine and delicious food, and the owner is rich and generous, and is willing to make a debut. The topics it has either been of level or unique, and is very popular among scholars in Yuyao.

Scholars are good. They don’t need to work or housework. They can travel around openly and enjoy the mountains and rivers and have fun, just like looking for flowers and willows. People without fame are vulgarity. If they become famous, they are also frivolous, but they are just romantic.

There is no hope of finding a job, and it is still idle anyway. Yu Jin, who wants to make a name for himself, decided to join in the fun with this idle student.

Lanshi Street is the most prosperous and popular street in Yuyao County. It has money houses, silver houses, silk shops, jade shops, antique shops, rice shops, restaurants, bookstores, etc. It can be said that it is all available. Many literati and scholars like to gather here, so they are named Lanshi Street.
