A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 621 Examination + Acting on behalf of the sky
"Heng'er's article, how could it be ranked so low!"

Every time Wang Lidong returned home after the exam, she would ask her son to make a new copy of the paper.According to her analysis, the 'head of the case' was a sure thing, but she never thought it was the tail of the crane.

"My lady, what are you doing?" Father Qi grabbed the lady who was about to get out of the car, "If you don't do it, you won't be wrong. You can see it again."

Qi's mother said, "I'm going to find the Governor of Kaifeng now. I want to take a look at the top ten test papers in this year's county test. How good are they?
Such a good article by Heng'er can only be ranked third from the bottom. "

Wang Lidong hurriedly spoke to dissuade, "Mother, the most important thing in the imperial examination is the results of the general examination and palace examination.

In the previous few times, even if it was ranked first every time, it meant a better reputation.

Because of a small 'case', I have a lot of trouble with the chief examiner, so I will definitely wear small shoes for the next government examination, hospital examination, and rural examination! "

Princess Pingning sneered, "Then I'll go to the palace."

Wang Lidong rolled his eyes, "Mother, you went to find His Majesty for a sesame-sized county 'desk' or mansion 'desk', so what if you win?
In the next few exams, if the examiner continues to rank like this, do you always go to the official? ! "

The emperor is not your own father, so how can he have any free time to help with such trivial matters.Even his own father didn't order him like that, he didn't take the emperor seriously!

Princess Pingning choked on his son's words!
With a cold snort, he turned around heavily, staring at the curtains and sulking.

As the dog-licking father, Qi immediately reprimanded: "Heng'er, why did you talk to your mother? She is so angry, and she is not seeking justice for you. Apologize to your mother."

Although he also felt that his son's words were true, he couldn't be more tactful. When he got home, Wang Lidong patted pg and went back to his yard, but where could he go?

Seeing Qi's father winking at him desperately, with a pleading look in his eyes, Wang Lidong felt a little bit emotional, try not to marry a high-class girl, otherwise life will be as miserable as cheap daddy.

For the sake of the family's stability and harmony, on the way home, Wang Lidong turned on his sweet talk skills and added a few thousand-year-old jokes.

When he got home, just as he sat down, Wang Lidong found a plate of fresh fruit on the table, picked up a fresh lychee, and asked in surprise, "Where did this come from?"

It's not that I'm surprised that there are lychees here in Kaifeng, but that it takes more than a month before I want to eat fresh lychees.

Qi's mother said: "Your grandfather sent someone to deliver it this morning."

Wang Lidong said: "Grandfather's family has a fleet coming back from the south?"

During the Song Dynasty, the maritime trade was very developed, and such a lucrative business, of course, the nobles would not be left behind.Like his family has 3 fleets, but the scale is not large, but the family of the grandparent Xiangyang Hou’s family has a very large maritime trade business. There are 8 fleets in total, mainly traveling between the Song Dynasty and Southeast Asia. Listen to me My mother said that almost a million dollars can be earned every year.

Qi's mother nodded, "I sent a lot of small things this time, Heng'er will go to the warehouse to have a look later, and pick some if I like."

Wang Lidong ate two lychees, "Mom, how much can lychees sell in the capital now?"

Qi's mother looked at her eldest maid, and Xi'er hurriedly said: "Madam, little father-in-law, in the past two days, a fresh lychee can be sold for about 1 piece.

From the beginning of next month, lychees will gradually increase. At that time, they can be sold for 500 renminbi per piece. In June and July, the price in previous years remained at 80 renminbi per lychee. "

Wang Lidong asked about some other seasonal fruits, and found that as long as they were seasonal fruits from the south, the price of most of them in the capital was ridiculously expensive.

Take lychee as an example, the production area is about 8 yuan/jin, and there are about 20 pieces per catty. According to the price of the capital, it can be at least 200 times higher.

Robbery is not so profitable!

This business can be done.

Wang Lidong thought about the speed of the current seagoing ships, the fastest is almost 100 kilometers per day.From Guangdong Province to Tokyo City, it takes almost a month.

No wonder it's so expensive.

For such a long time, according to the current fresh-keeping technology, most fruits will rot halfway.

In the next week, except for dealing with some important matters, Wang Lidong didn't go anywhere, so he stayed in the mansion and concentrated on copying the blueprint of the 'flying-scissor high-speed sailboat'.

"My lord, this boat seems to be of the Western style?" Chunlan pointed to the blueprint of a flying-scissor high-speed sailing boat.

"Remove it. Chunlan, do we have a shipyard?"

"There are two small shipyards in the mansion."

Since there is one at home, there is no need to spend money to buy it again. Wang Lidong ran to his parents' yard and was about to come to a small shipyard near the Bian River outside the city.
"No, let the shipyard build one as soon as possible according to the drawings. Let the ironworks do the keel and ribs."

"My lord, if the keel is made of steel, isn't it too heavy?"

"With wood, I worry that it will fall apart too quickly."

Out of curiosity, he asked, "My lord, how far can this boat run?"

Wang Lidong thought for a while and said, "80 li/hour."

Don't be surprised by this speed. The faster sea ships these days only travel about ten miles in an hour. This is seven or eight times faster.

Wang Lidong said: "Remember to keep the blueprints secret, don't let them out."

Nodding his head in a hurry, if he can really reach the speed that the little father-in-law said, the booklet in his hand is absolutely priceless, and there will definitely be many orders in the future.

A few days after finishing working on the flying shear boat, Wang Lidong came to the Gong Yuan again.

In fact, there is not much difference between the examination questions of the prefectural examination and the county examination, except for one more item, 'policy question'.

A total of three exams, a total of 4 days.

"Heng'er, are you alright?"

After the last exam, Wang Lidong just left the gate of the Gongyuan when he saw Qi's mother standing at the gate.

"Mother, why don't you wait in the carriage?"

Father Qi said: "I heard in the morning that some students were bitten to death by poisonous snakes in the examination room. Your mother is really worried."

Wang Lidong hurriedly pulled his old mother to comfort him: "Mother, don't worry, if we really meet, I will be fine with my skills."

Seeing that her son was safe and sound, Qi's mother finally put her heart back in her stomach.

"Heng'er, did it affect your performance?"

Wang Lidong said: "By the time I knew about it, the papers were all written."

The candidate who was bitten this time was right next door to him. Although he was very close, the candidate didn't make any sound after being bitten, so he didn't notice it either.It was around ten o'clock when an inspector passed by and found out, but at that time the examinee was already dead and couldn't die anymore.

Three days later, the day when the results of the government examination will be announced.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, Wang Lidong was pulled into the carriage by Qi's mother, and arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan.

Waiting not to see clearly, looking at the posted list, after finding his son's name in the last row, he immediately trotted back to the carriage and said, "Your Majesty, you have passed."

Princess Pingning asked: "Where is Heng'er ranked this time?"

Buwei immediately lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "The last one."

Princess Pingning's complexion immediately turned black, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Prefect of Kaifeng, you are too deceitful!"

Wang Lidong comforted: "The government test is no better than the county test, and there are usually no more than 20 people who pass."

Buwei who was outside the carriage also answered: "The little one just counted, and this time only 18 people passed in total."

Princess Pingning said coldly: "Today I must enter the palace. If this continues, next time Heng'er your grades may fall out of the list."

Wang Lidong hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, if you go to the palace to file a complaint now, you might fall into the hands of the governor of Kaifeng."

Mother Qi looked at her son puzzled.

Wang Lidong explained,

"After my mother filed a complaint, it is certainly impossible to only listen to one side of the story today.

At that time, the governor of Kaifeng must face the saint.

When the Holy Majesty asked the reason, the governor of Kaifeng would definitely say that he deliberately suppressed me because he loves me and for my own good. "

Mother Qi said with a face full of disbelief: "Putting you in the last place, how can I love you?"

Wang Lidong said:

"The reason is that I am worried that I will succeed in my youth, become Fang Zhongyong's second, and finally become a mediocre person.

So deliberately suppress me, so that I will not be arrogant and can continue to study hard and diligently.

After listening to it today, you must be very satisfied.

And those civil officials will praise this person, saying that he is a good official who loves the younger generation.

And then there's going to be a lot of hype, making it a good talk.
As for me, as long as I still want to be an official in Song Dynasty, I have to hold my nose and come to thank others for their suppression. "

Qi's mother thought about it for a while, and felt that it was possible to become real, and suddenly felt like eating a fly.
The years are silent, the time has no trace, and it is early summer in the blink of an eye, and the day of leaving the hospital for the exam is less than a week away.

System: "Host, the experience value of 'Yi Jin Jing' is full, do you want to upgrade?"

"upgrade!"

"Ding, the skill 'Yi Jin Jing' has been upgraded to LV4 0/10000."

Smelling the stench coming from the tip of his nose, Wang Lidong found that his whole body was covered with black and silver stains.

I got up and moved, felt it, and found unprecedented ease.

Knowing that all the heavy metals hidden in the body have been removed.

With a light wave of his left hand, the window not far away creaked and opened.

Wang Lidong lightly tapped the ground, and the whole person disappeared from the bedroom. After [-] or [-] breaths, he floated across the Tokyo city wall and came to the Jinming Pond.

After taking a good bath, he didn't go home directly, but went to the palace.

Yi Jin Jing has been practiced to LV4, as long as you don't be surrounded by thousands of people to death, your life will be safe.

After half an hour, Wang Lidong walked around the palace.

Neither did they find any peerless masters, nor did they find any plots of conspiracy and rebellion.

The old emperor is the same as the legend, he didn't sleep most of the night, he was still working hard overtime, sweating for the future of Song Dynasty
Gone!

The palace of the Great Song Dynasty is very boring.

Go home to sleep.

Wang Lidong stepped back and rushed to his home.

"Wang Wang Wang"

A bark of dogs came from several hundred meters ahead.

Confirmed the next direction, Duke Lu's Mansion.

Thinking of the shitty things Duke Lu did in the last few months. Wang Lidong turned around, and after five or six breaths, he was already standing on the roof of a large building.

"Wow woof woof woof."

A dozen or so mad dogs, seeing the stranger on the opposite roof, immediately turned on the group barking mode, "Wow, woof, woof, woof."

"What's the noise?" A shirtless boy came out of a room not far from the dog pen with a lantern in his hands, "I haven't barked enough during the day, and it doesn't stop in the middle of the night."

Walking to the dog pen, the young man shook the lantern in his hand, and found that all eleven dogs were in good condition. After looking around again, after seeing nothing unusual, he sprayed a few more words at the dog pen in displeasure.

"Oh!"

Seeing the boy close the door, Wang Lidong casually summoned a tile, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen broken tiles shot towards the dog pen.

"Puff puff puff..." The eleven mad dogs that were alive and well all fell to the ground with headshots.

The whole courtyard fell silent.

There was a servant's snoring in my ear, this is a blessed person.

Tiptoe lightly, after a few ups and downs, Wang Lidong found the master bedroom, gently opened the door and looked at the fat MMP sleeping soundly with two beautiful girls in his arms, he really enjoyed it.

dare to fly
He reached out and touched the sleeping holes of the three of them.

After a few breaths, there was one after another grunting in the room.

Wang Lidong searched the room in less than 5 minutes.

Looking at the ten-cent land deed and all kinds of gold and jewelry in the cloth bag, I estimated that it was worth forty to fifty thousand guan. I thought it was a poor man.

After tying up the cloth bag and carrying it on his back, Wang Lidong looked at Duke Lu who was snoring loudly, picked up a small square stool in front of the bed, and threw it on the guy's right calf.

"Crack!"

"Humph!"

Wang Lidong was afraid that this guy would wake up from the pain, so he stretched out his hand and pressed his neck lightly.

Then he raised the bench and pointed it at the fellow's other calf, with a 'click' sound. Seeing Duke Lu's pain, the whole body twitched
You kid also has today.

Let you be arrogant, let you hurt people!
In the past month or so, no less than dozens of people have been bitten by the vicious dogs raised by this guy.

There's no rabies vaccine these days, and there's no penicillin
Early the next morning, just after Wang Lidong finished his morning exercise, he saw Chunlan running into the house excitedly.

"My lord, something serious has happened. Duke Yan of Lu was sent to ransack his house and broke his legs."

what!
Unexpectedly, last night's impromptu idea actually played a role.

When Wang Lidong left last night, he thought of some TV drama plots, so he left the word 'Yan' on a blank wall.

"Don't spread rumors. No matter how arrogant King Yan is, he wouldn't dare to do this."

Chunlan gossiped, "My lord, who do you think did it?"

After Wang Lidong wiped off his sweat, he stuffed a hot towel into Chunlan's hands, "Then you have to ask the person who did this. The sky is crazy and the rain is crazy, and people are crazy. Woe, Duke Lu has offended many people in the past six months." .”

Chunlan thought about it for a while, but she couldn't figure out which hero did the good thing, so she acquiesced that King Yan did it, anyway, it was rumored like this.

After changing his clothes, Wang Lidong came to his parents' courtyard.

Seeing Qi's mother helping Qi's father peel an egg for the first time, knowing about Lu Guogong must have penetrated into this ear.

"Mother, what good thing happened to this?"

Father Qi smiled and pointed in the direction of Duke Lu's house, "Heng'er should have heard of it, right?"

Wang Lidong nodded.

Father Qi said, "I don't know which strongman did it. Our street can be peaceful for at least half a year."

While eating breakfast, the three of them successively expressed their opinions on what happened last night, and analyzed and deduced the future trend of the incident and its impact on the twin kings.
When breakfast was over, Wang Lidong just returned to the small courtyard, sweating profusely and carrying a bamboo basket into the living room, "My lord, the clipper ship 'No. [-]' arrived at the port this morning. These are delivered The fruits, I saw, are very fresh."

After the first flying clipper ship was launched last month, he opened the Huacheng-Kaifeng fruit line. Although he only shipped the goods once, the effect was very good, and he earned almost 20 guan.

Looking through the various fruits in the bamboo basket, lychees, mangoes, mangosteens. It looks like they have just been picked, "How many fruits have you shipped this time?"

Buwei took out a small book, opened it, and found relevant records, "Coconuts weighed 153000 catties, watermelons weighed 120800 catties, lychees weighed 16300 catties, mangoes weighed 5800 catties, and mangosteens weighed 3500 catties, totaling 84 catties."

Wang Lidong said:

"Send some to the uncle's family and Zhuang Xuejiao. This time, the Sheng family also sent two baskets, and the rest will be handed over to my mother."

Buwei asked in a low voice: "My lord, which two of the three girls are the two baskets of fruit from the Sheng family?"

Wang Lidong looked up and didn't do anything, this kid "delivered all to the eldest lady of the Sheng family."

Sheng family living room

Wang Shi, the eldest lady of the Sheng family, looked at the two big bamboo baskets of fresh fruits of the season in front of her, and knew that the young man gave them to her family, and she immediately raised her eyebrows with joy: "Oh, your little man is too polite. It's so embarrassing."

Seeing that Mei's mouth was almost grinning to the back of the ears, Wang didn't care to think that this one is easy to coax,

"Miss, if there is nothing else, I will go back home."

After ordering her eldest maid, Li Songbuwei, to go out, Wang immediately asked her nanny to return to Wei Ruixuan with two baskets of fruit.

It took an incense stick of time to divide the fruits, and then sent the servant girl to deliver them to everyone in the family. Just as he sat down to take a breath, "Mother," the little daughter's voice came from outside the door, and then Seeing Ru Lan 'Teng Teng Teng' rushing into the hall with a pair of short legs, "Mother, why am I the only one who has no fruit?"
