fake prince

Chapter 1098
They were talking to a girl, she was wearing a moon-white embroidered dress, it was cleanly starched, her melon-seeded face was still pretty, and she smiled: "You two gentlemen, your clothes are all dry, and there is also a seam." , why don’t you rush to wear it and send it over after it’s ironed, okay?”

"It's ok, don't worry, when it's delivered, I'll pay you eight renminbi next month."

"Yes."

This is a very common thing, Su Ziji suddenly felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember it, it was nothing at first, but now at the critical point, he couldn't help but pay more attention.

"My lord, you forgot, it's Cui Er, the maid of Qian Zhidong's concubine, you have met before."

"Oh, is it the Sun family? But I remember giving 500 taels of silver back then, and Jian Qu was still taking care of her. How did she come out to do laundry in such a downfall?"

"Go and have a look."

"Too..." Just go and have a look, Yu Lv and Fang Xicai turned around, looked at each other, couldn't help being startled, after careful debate, they recognized it immediately, and were about to salute.

Su Ziji was a little helpless, so he could only take a step forward to support him, and said, "You don't need to be too polite, I only have old friends who are studying today."

Yu Lu and Fang Xi realized that Weifu had come and looked at each other, but Su Ziji didn't speak immediately, but saw the wild Taoist leading the girl over. . .

"Why do you wash clothes, isn't there any help in the mansion?" Su Ziji asked.

This girl only met Su Ziji once, and it was a few years ago. Although she felt a little familiar, she didn't expect that even the wild Taoist hadn't met a few times, so she couldn't recognize him for a while. A little blessing.

"Of course there is support in the mansion. There is always some money, rice and fruit to enjoy every year, and there are watermelons in summer!"

"It's just that the lady said that if you sit and eat, you always have to plan for the young lady, so with the blessing of the mansion, she opened a silk shop not far from here." Tweety said clearly: "Business is okay."

"That……"

"Later, the young lady saw that there were quite a few applicants taking the exam nearby, but they were far away. Those who are rich may be able to bring one or two attendants, and most of them are male servants. They are not good at sewing, mending and washing, let alone those who have no money."

"So I went into the business of juren, responsible for washing and mending clothes every month, and paid eight coins a month, and hired the girls and wives nearby to do the work. Since juren must be decent, the business in January is better than that of silk shops. .”

"This has become a scale?" Su Ziji recalled, vaguely remembering that Sun's weak and pretty back then fell to the ground crying, and he didn't want to turn into this in a blink of an eye: "A real person can't be judged by his appearance, people can always find a way what!"

"Sure, I understand, you go—"

"Come on, let's go inside and talk." Su Ziji looked at the girl's back thoughtfully, turned around and entered the bookstore, only to find that this bookstore was different.

The bookstores in other places are equally well-known with a few floors at most, with a larger space and a larger collection of books for people to sit down and read.

But this bookstore looks like a building from the outside, but after entering and walking for a while, it suddenly becomes clear to the eyes, it is actually a hidden world!

Inside, it turned out to be a small garden!
The size of this garden is incomparable to the royal gardens that Su Ziji has seen, it is much smaller, but compared with the layout of other bookstores, it is much larger, it is simply eye-catching!
While walking, you can still smell the faint aroma of tea and snacks.

Looking around, I found that the layout of the garden is like this: books are placed in a strange hollow building surrounded by corridors, and rows of bookshelves can be vaguely seen from the outside.

There are various places to read: rooms, grasslands, pavilions, corridors, and small lakes.

Tables, chairs, and benches are everywhere, and the small stalls offering refreshments are all in the style of thatched huts on the side of the road, and there is one at a distance.

A few scholars passed by, just talking about this matter, obediently speaking, the tea here is delicious, but the price is not high.

Even buying books and these refreshments is not a very expensive expense for most scholars who have reached the stage of juzi.

And this environment, compared with the cost, is even more cost-effective.

"I met a few businessmen in a row today." Su Ziji felt that he had opened his eyes. Of course, he also knew that not to mention the county, even the county government couldn't open a bookshop with this type of layout, nothing else The reason is that the market can only be supported by a place with a large number of candidates.

Su Ziji couldn't help laughing, and asked Yu Lu: "I heard there is a piano room here?"

He came to this place for the first time, and when he entered, he found that it was a garden, and the piano room should be bigger than expected.

Yu Lv didn't know why the grandson came here, maybe it was just for fun, so he smiled: "There is indeed a piano room, I heard it is in the east."

Su Ziji glanced towards the east, and sure enough, he saw a scholar with a piano on his back going there.

Except for that side, many of the scholars who had come earlier gathered in the pavilion or by the lake, and they were not afraid of the cold. They were in groups of three or four, and there were scholars talking and reading everywhere.

It's really charming here!

Su Ziji thought to himself, the ancient courts did not speculate on land and houses, this looks like a huge garden, you can buy it for a few thousand taels, but you can’t make a lot of money in snacks and refreshments, but the boss behind it can attract so many scholars, This is a resource in itself.

"There are many reckless heroes." Su Ziji had other thoughts, but at this moment he gave the wild Taoist a look.

"Understood, I'll try the boss's skills in a few days." Ye Taoist naturally understood, the four of them headed towards the library, and when they met a few scholars sitting at a stone table by the roadside, they just mentioned " Grandson" and "Poetry Collection" were originally the purpose of Su Ziji, so he couldn't help paying attention and slowed down his pace.

There are a lot of people here, since you dare to talk here, you are naturally not afraid of being heard or noticed. Su Ziji's gaze did not attract the attention of these people.

I heard one of them hold a collection of poems and say: "If you want to talk about poems, the number one in the world, there should be no doubts, it must be the grandson, right?"

A person sitting opposite said: "Although Taisun's poems are superb, but he is still young, Mr. Qin's poems are thicker and thicker. Compared with the two, they are not behind."

Yu Lu Fangxi listened and nodded.

The "Mr. Qin" mentioned by this person must refer to Qin Fengyu, Mr. Qin.

This is a well-known poetry master, in his thirties, and well-known among scholars. What this person said is indeed fair.

But Su Ziji noticed something else, that is, he knew the person who said these words, Zhang Modong.

He was a 15-year-old middle school student at the time, and met this person at the chess game. Later, he also had contact with him several times, but he hadn't seen him for many years.

What Mr. Long said at that time is still vivid in my mind——Zhang Modong, although you are talented, your fate is very low. Despite many scientific examinations, you have no chance to be a candidate.Although I can make up for it, but your fortune is poor, you will not be able to be noble in the end, it is just a provincial test.

At that time, a quail flew into Zhang Modong's body, and quail is a ninth-rank genus in Dazheng, which is almost a status.

Su Ziji's face was changed now, but Zhang Modong naturally didn't recognize him.

However, although Zhang Modong's words were approved by Yu Lu and Fang Xi, the person who spoke first was upset, and he suddenly lowered his face and said: "Half a generation of youth knows all kinds of tastes, and is full of ambitions. This sentence may be similar to that of Mr. Qin." .”

"But, can this feeling be turned into a memory? It's just that I was at a loss for this sentence at the time. I'm afraid Mr. Qin is hard to follow?"

"The most important thing is that Mr. Qin is from a family of officials and eunuchs in the capital. Although he was in troubled times, he was a handsome young man and was taught by a famous teacher. , was almost sent to hard labor, and there was no famous teacher to give advice."

"It's hard work to win the top prize in one fell swoop, and to write such poems is full of talent from the sky. You still belittle it secretly. Even if we are used to belittle each other, it's over, right?"

After finishing speaking, he actually returned the poetry collection to him, got up and left, as if he was not with him, this action immediately made Zhang Modong blush involuntarily.

Hearing this, Su Ziji's heart skipped a beat, and a tinge of blood appeared on his face.

"Issuing book collections and biographies is obviously for the sake of fame, but in fact it is for the sake of subtlety, and the literati are the most dignified, and they can make people break off due to disagreement, which is quite different."

"It can be seen that the supernatural power of the way of the university, a small test, the effect seems to be good."

　Today is the 30th anniversary of the new year. I wish the station, editors, and readers a new year. I hope that everyone will be better in the coming year, through the cold winter, and usher in spring
