Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Qi Qingxi left He Huwei to help those scholars, and she took two maids back to a restaurant first.

It's not time for lunch yet, and the shopkeepers in the restaurant are still making preparations.

Wang Lang was not surprised when he saw Qi Qingxi coming, he knew that he had accepted Fan Qingshan as his apprentice, Qi Qingxi naturally wanted to come and have a look, after all she asked Fan Qingshan to help in the store.

But Qi Qingxi seems to have forgotten that he came to the capital from Jiangzhou with Fan Qingshan, and he has heard a lot about Fan Qingshan's whereabouts from Liu Yong.

He said that he was a follower with the young master of General Li's family, and said that this kid has a high spirit and will suffer sooner or later.

In fact, it was a pity for him to hear this.

He and Fan Qingshan came to the capital all the way, and would pull him up for a chat from time to time, this kid is indeed very business-minded, no wonder Qi Qingxi would specially find someone to go to his hometown to find him.

It was obvious that Fan Qingshan was still a little impetuous, thinking that by being with the young master of the official family, there would be some changes.

It's perfectly normal for a young man to be a little naive.

It's just that he didn't expect that in less than a year, Fan Qingshan actually left the group of young masters and found him in the shop and said that he would come to work as a handyman.

After observing for a long time, Wang Lang finally came to the conclusion that Qi Qingxi asked Fan Qingshan to come to the store.

Fan Qingshan even thought about worshiping him as a teacher, presumably it was also Qi Qingxi's handwriting.

Originally, he was also happy to accept Fan Qingshan, who was quite business-minded, as his apprentice. Although he knew that this kid would definitely be able to pass the test, he still couldn't help but want to test him.

Wang Lang saluted Qi Qingxi with a smile: "Thank you, Master, for sending me a good apprentice."

Qi Qingxi smiled back, hearing Wang Lang's words, it seemed that she had already guessed her intention.

She knew Wang Lang's ability to do business. The corrupt official Wang Minzhong donated so much property. Except for the people's fat and people's anointing, everything else was Wang Lang's business income.

In terms of doing business, Qi Qingxi knew that he was not as good as Wang Lang.Moreover, she knew that Fan Qingshan was also quite a business-minded person, if she followed her, she would be wasting her talent without learning anything.

It is most appropriate for Fan Qingshan to worship Wang Lang as his teacher.

Qi Qingxi also returned with a smile: "From now on, Fan Qingshan will have to trouble you."

Qi Qingxi looked around in the shop, but there was no sign of Fan Qingshan. Wang Lang stepped forward and told her that Fan Qingshan went out to do some business in the morning when no one was around.

It happened that Qi Qingxi had nothing to do today, so it would not be a problem to be the first class in the store.

After a while, He Huwei also came back, followed by several scholars who were helping the scholar surnamed Wen at the booth.

He Huwei stepped forward and said, "Ma'am, there happened to be a policeman passing by on the street, and these scholars handed over the scholar surnamed Wen and the boss to the policeman and sent them to the Yamen. I said I would come back and report, but they insisted Come with me, saying that I want to thank you."

Several scholars came out from behind He Huwei. At this time, Qi Qingxi had already taken off his veil. They looked at Qi Qingxi with an unconcealable surprise in his eyes, but they also abided by the words of "do not see evil". After a glance, they lowered their heads Don't take another look.

Several people bowed and saluted: "Thank you, madam, for your words of persuasion."

Several people thanked her, and Qi Qingxi naturally replied politely: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about."

The reason why Qi Qingxi helped her was because she remembered her two silly younger brothers.

To be precise, only Yun Hui is stupid, and the calculations of the scholar Wen and the boss should not escape Yun Ming's eyes.

The few scholars in front of them don't look stupid, and seeing the unsophisticated scholar with a simple face, Qi Qingxi was a little curious about how the scholar surnamed Wen deceived them.

Among them, the scholar surnamed Zheng spoke out to explain Qi Qingxi's doubts.

It's not that they are stupid and easy to trust people, but that the clerk is really hateful, and he started to set up this situation a few months ago.

Qi Qingxi was even more curious when he heard this. How could such a scam still take several months to lay out?

It turned out that the clerk was indeed a candidate for the examination, but he had failed three times, and this session was already the fourth examination that the clerk had participated in.

To say that this was not the first time, although the clerk's family was not rich, he had raised a lot of money to let him go to Beijing again to continue the exam for the second time.

But after failing to rank twice in a row, the clerk felt ashamed and went home, thinking about finding a job in the capital while saving money to study while waiting for the next exam.

Also during the third test, the clerk also ate breakfast at the boss without bringing any money. found.

Qi Qingxi can guess what happened next without mentioning it.

It must be the clerk and the boss who discovered this cost-free and extremely profitable business opportunity, so the two teamed up to deceive people everywhere and make a lot of money.

It seems that the third time the clerk still failed, it was God's will to punish him for cheating.

Missed for the third time, and started to cheat for the fourth time.

And this time it seems that I have accumulated experience, knowing that I will go around to meet the candidates who are taking the exam, spy on everyone's wealth, and tell about my own misery to win everyone's sympathy, and then choose a place to do the game.

"At least a dozen copper coins each time, and at most only one tael of silver. Even if others see through, most of them will not be willing to speak out for such a small amount of money. Today is considered unlucky for him. He met you and came out to speak out."

Qi Qingxi just smiled and didn't answer.

Lies will always be exposed one day. If it wasn't for her, someone else would do it, but it was a matter of time.

Taking this opportunity, Qi Qingxi asked another question that he had been wondering for a long time.

"Although it's a bit presumptuous for me to ask this question, I still want to know that if you pass the exam, you should have a lot of public and private subsidies. I can understand the clerk's place. I have passed the exam many times and after so many years. More subsidies are not enough. But I think there are still many scholars who can’t even afford to buy a steamed stuffed bun.”

Several scholars glanced at each other, and it was still Zheng Shusheng who came out to answer Qi Qingxi's question.

"I don't know why the other students are, but I can tell my wife one or two things about my situation. In fact, there are indeed a lot of subsidies. Because of the many subsidies, I think about my relatives at home for so many years. Bearing hardships and standing hard work supported Xiaosheng to study without hearing anything outside the window, so Xiaosheng thought that he would rather endure hardships along the way and leave more money for his family so that they can also have a good meal."
