After the eldest daughter was reborn, she became a crazy output

"Don't worry, the noble families are not that harmonious. Moreover, each noble family is not that peaceful. It will never be possible for them to join forces."

"It is possible for several families to join forces, but if they join forces, we can also cooperate with other families."

"There must be people from the noble families who bought our test papers. It's unlikely that they can join forces for the time being. It's not easy for them to reach an agreement. Even if they do, we can easily destroy them."

"So we have to take advantage of now to develop Wanshu Pavilion."

After listening to Gu Jue's words, Cheng Cheng now understood everything.

"I understand. But why are there so many twists and turns between these noble families, and so much distrust?"

Hearing this, Gu Jue smiled, "Aristocratic families are the result of hundreds of years of inheritance. Over the years, which family doesn't have some dirty things? Which two families dare to say that they don't have some conflicts? People from aristocratic families are also human beings. As human beings, they will have weaknesses, frictions, and conflicts."

"That's right, there are only eternal interests, not eternal feelings." Cheng Cheng rarely speaks out of his feelings, and it's hard not to agree.

Because of the changes in the way books are sold later.

After the people crowded at the door of the library got what they wanted, they quickly returned to their own residences, as if they would be snatched away by someone else if they were a second late.

When people return home or to the inn, they close their doors.

Ever since returning from Wanshu Pavilion, he has been racing against time. He dared not, let alone be willing to leave the room, and was desperately trying to digest the papers in his hands.

at the same time.

In a dilapidated courtyard in Yanjing.

"squeak"

As the door was pushed open, a weak voice came from a room, "Xiao Jing, are you back?"

"It's me, sister." Hearing the voice, the man who pushed the door open walked forward quickly.

Enter the room,

In the shabby room, on the old bed, lay a frail and extremely weak woman.

The woman's face was pale, her limbs were weak, and she looked like a flower that was about to wither. She was so sick that it made people feel distressed and pity her.

"Sister, I went to Wanshu Pavilion today, but it was selling books today and there were a lot of people outside the door, so I didn't go to read books in Wanshu Pavilion."

"If you don't go today, you must go tomorrow. The Spring Examination will be held soon. No matter what, you must read books in the Wanshu Pavilion every day until the Spring Examination. I will be at home free during the day, so you just need to concentrate on reading and preparing for the examination."

"Xiao Jing, don't worry about me. Before Xiao Jing passes the imperial examination and clears the Xie family's grievances, nothing will happen to your sister. Xiao Jing, just study with peace of mind and don't worry about money."

As she spoke, the woman took out a jade pendant.

"Xiao Jing, pawn this jade pendant."

Xiao Jing, also known as Xie Jing.

He looked at his sick sister in astonishment and refused without thinking.

"No, sister, this is the jade pendant you have worn since childhood, I..."

"Xiao Jing!"

Interrupted by the stern voice, Xie Jing looked at his sister with wide eyes.

Meeting his sister's eyes and seeing the determination in those clear and bright eyes, Xie Jing lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in them, and answered in a low voice.

"I see."

Zhang Mansion

"Has my father and grandfather come back?" Zhang Yulin asked the servant who greeted him as soon as he entered the house.

"Master, the old master and the old lady have not come back yet."

Zhang Yulin frowned slightly, thought about it, and suddenly turned around and left the house.

"Master? Master!"

Zhang Yulin ignored the calls from behind him. Since his grandfather was not there, he would go first.

If the Wanshu Pavilion is closed later, he can take the opportunity to buy those books.

Hehehe~

Most of the officials in the various prefectures in Yanjing have not returned home yet, and have not heard about the incident in Wanshu Pavilion.

Some mistresses in the mansions heard about it and even sent people to inquire about it. However, before they could confirm it, someone arrived at the Wanshu Pavilion.

At this time, it was Shen time.

Most of the scholars outside the Wanshu Pavilion had already left, and only a few scholars came in one after another. Some had just heard about it, some were told by relatives and friends, and some went home to get money.

The crowd outside the door has cleared and is no longer crowded.

The people from Jingzhao Yin had also returned to the government office, but when they went back, they took some benefits every day that only they knew about.

It was at this time that Zhang Yulin, who had left Wanshu Pavilion not long ago, came to Wanshu Pavilion again.

I asked impatiently as soon as I entered the door.

"Where's your boss? I'm looking for him."

"Please wait."

Upstairs, Gu Jue had not left yet and was playing chess with Cheng Cheng.

"Brother Cheng, Zhang Yulin is here again. He's downstairs and said he wants to see you." The man didn't lower his voice intentionally, and the two people who were playing chess could hear it clearly.

"You were right. I lost."

Chengcheng was helpless. Every time he made a bet with Linglong, he always lost.

Hearing this, Gu Jue chuckled, "You're not going down? He's already delivered himself to your door."

Looking at Gu Jue's expression, Cheng Cheng narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are these also within your expectations? Or, should I say this, these are all in your plan."

The tone at the beginning was still slightly questioning, but it turned into an affirmative tone at the end.

Everything that happened yesterday and today.

Everything went as Linglong expected every time. Everything was developing according to Linglong's plan. Everything was beneficial to Wanshu Pavilion, which made him think more.

After hearing Cheng Cheng's words, Gu Jue laughed out loud.

He neither admitted nor denied it, but said it with a slight smile in his tone.

"Go down quickly, the two small fish are in the pond. Once you release them, the big fish will come to you."

"Row."

Although he didn't admit it, he didn't deny it either, so what he thought was right.

Linglong, you are really amazing!

Every step was calculated, and everyone played a role in Linglong's plan.

Is this the gap between genius and ordinary people? !

When Chengcheng went downstairs, Zhang Yulin was already standing quietly behind Yuan Zhizhou, secretly observing what book Yuan Zhizhou was reading.

He is indeed a nerd. He has been away from Wanshu Pavilion for an hour, but he is still reading here and doesn't even drink a sip of tea.

Nerds are nerds!

"Mr. Zhang." The sudden voice startled Zhang Yulin, and also startled Yuan Zhizhou who was immersed in a book.

They both looked at Cheng Cheng at the same time.

Then, Yuan Zhizhou reacted and looked behind him. Zhang Yulin was standing behind him. When their eyes met, Zhang Yulin's face immediately turned red and he jumped away as if he was escaping.

"I didn't peek at what book you were reading!"

Yuan Zhizhou nodded blankly and asked, "Are you buying books here too?"

"Why do you care so much?" Zhang Yulin said with disdain.

"Master Yuan, Master Zhang." Cheng Cheng interrupted their conversation. He didn't have the heart to watch the two people bickering.

Hearing the voice, Yuan Zhizhou subconsciously stood up and saluted, causing Zhang Yulin to feel embarrassed not to salute.

After the ceremony, Yuan Zhizhou asked, "Who are you?"

"Pfft"
