Broken leg by silly daughter-in-law

Today, the emperor opened Enke, and there were a lot of references. Liu Luochen walked all the inns in the city, big and small, but was dumbfounded to find that there were no vacant rooms at all, and even the woodsheds of the inns were overcrowded.

In their group of people in the city, there are still ten days before the exam, so many scholars who came to rush for the exam have arrived in the city, which is indeed somewhat beyond Liu Luochen's expectations.

The last time Liu Chun and several people came to rush for the exam, the time in advance was relatively long, and it was a positive year's exam. When they arrived at the state capital, there were not so many people in the inn.

Seeing this situation, Liu Chun thought for a while, stepped forward and cupped his hands, and said to Liu Luochen and Nan Nian: "I would like to report to the two masters of the master's house, why don't we find out if there are any rented houses in this city, let's live here." For a month, it can be quieter."

Hearing what Liu Chun said, Liu Luochen's eyes lit up immediately, he slapped his thigh with his hand, and then said, "Yes, let's find a house and rent it for a month, so that we won't have bad food, bad accommodation, and complicated personnel in the inn." .”

After all, Liu Chun had been here once before. Out of the habit of the former hidden guards, after he arrived in the local area, he had a thorough understanding of the locations.

Since he wanted to rent a house in the city for a month, the best way was to go to a dental office.

A few people drove to the door of the dental shop in a carriage, Liu Luochen did not procrastinate, directly took out a silver ingot, slapped it on the table, and explained his request.

When the shopkeeper saw the money, he was immediately elated and flattered. He immediately looked through the books, found a house that met Liu Luochen's requirements, and personally brought a few people to see it.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances. It is about two blocks away from the Fuya examination room, but it is very quiet.

Liu Luochen saw that the yard was quite clean and tidy, and the location was good, so he no longer hesitated to rent the yard.

The group of people were exhausted from the exhaustion, so Liu Luochen asked Liu Chun to go to a restaurant with a good reputation in the town, ordered some dishes, and sat around to eat.

After Liu Luochen and the others had dinner, he was quite curious about this bustling state capital, so he took Nan Nian out for a walk to digest food.

The two happened to run into the house next door, and someone moved in, and it happened to be that Xiao Yujin.

How else to put it, it's not that enemies don't get together.

Liu Luochen did not expect that the big courtyard next door to his house was the Xiao family's residence in the state capital.

He watched Xiao Yujin get off the carriage arrogantly, Liu Luochen's eyes darkened and he felt a little angry, he quietly took out the slingshot from his back waist, took out a small stone, exerted a little force, and saw the stone fly He shot out and hit Mapi's ass hard.

The horse was in pain, screamed and put down its hooves, and threw Xiao Yujin who got off the carriage to the ground.

Lu Lu and the two guards pretended to help Xiao Yujin up in order to go up. The right cheek of Xiao Yujin, which was visible to the naked eye, was red and swollen, and his body was covered with dust. He was really in a bit of a mess.

Liu Luochen felt much happier. He patted the dust that didn't exist on his hands, and grabbed Nan Nian's arm: "Let's go, go to the study and buy some paper, ink, pens and inkstones for Liu Zhiyuan."

Seeing Liu Luochen like that, Nan Nian raised the corners of his mouth, and with a smile in his eyes, he let him pull her forward, teasing, "Look at him swollen like a pig's head, has the depression dissipated?"

Liu Luochen smirked twice: "I'm just punishing him a little bit. These people live next door to us, and I'm afraid some of them will make a fuss in the future. Let him fall into a pig's head this time, but next time he won't be so lucky. It’s gone. He can’t keep doing things willfully, and not all the world is his father, I still don’t want such a bastard son!”

Liu Luochen and Nan Nian gradually drifted away, and Xiao Yujin, who fell down, stood up, constantly complaining that the two guards hadn't led the horse and it was full moon, and complaining that Lu Fu hadn't stabilized him, it was a resentment.

He patted the dust off his body, grinning his teeth in pain, seeing the figures of Liu Luochen and Nan Nian from a distance, flashing away at the corner of the street, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This time the explosive barrel was ignited even more, pointing in the direction where the two disappeared at the corner of the street, he cursed, his eyes seemed to be poisoned, revealing deep malice, but Liu Luochen and the others didn't know about it.

The two strolled around, found the study in the state capital, and went in to check it out. Liu Luochen was actually very curious about the imperial examination system in this dynasty.

In modern times, he is a person who has been baptized in the college entrance examination. I don't know if there are any real questions in the exams for talents and candidates in this era.

Although Nan Nian was a former Qiang who was in a high position and knew some things about the Central Plains court very well, he naturally didn't know much about these minutiae.

When Liu Luochen arrived at the study, he found that there were already many scholars in long robes, sitting or standing, standing at both ends of the bookshelves.Some scholars seem to be dressed relatively plainly, and they probably can't afford more books, so they borrow books and want to read more books during business breaks.

There is a middle-aged shopkeeper in the house, who looks kind.Those poor scholars were reading books in the store, and he was not angry. Instead, he would bring a cup of tea from time to time. His friendly attitude and cloth towel made Liu Luochen feel good about him. He also strolled around the store. Found some test questions and articles.

Liu Luochen took this small stack of articles, came to the shopkeeper, and asked gently: "Dare to ask the shopkeeper about these test questions and articles, but the exam questions and corresponding articles that will be tested a few years ago?"

The owner of the bookstore saw that Liu Luochen and Nan Nian were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and knew that they were big customers. The smile on his face became more real, and he said quickly: "Go back to this gentleman, there is a summary of the test questions from the past five years in the small shop. , There are also corresponding articles on the top ten candidates for sale over the years."

Having found what he wanted, Liu Luochen was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask the boss, how much are these test questions and articles worth?"

The store owner smiled more and more amiably: "One tael of silver for the test questions a year, and one and a half of an essay by a master."

At that time, I counted the number of test questions and articles in my hand, and according to this, the boss would do business.This is five taels of silver when the full amount is paid, but ten juren each year, five articles will be fifty articles in five years, and it will cost 75 taels of silver after this calculation.

Add it all up, a total of 80 taels of silver, which is not something everyone can afford.

Liu Luochen didn't feel sorry for the 80 taels of silver, but in business, talk and business, naturally there was no reason to agree, he put the stack of test questions and articles together with a smile and said to the boss: "If I buy all the test questions and articles for one Can the boss save me a little or two?"

When the shopkeeper heard that Liu Luochen and the others wanted to buy all the test questions and articles, he secretly sighed in his heart that he was really a big customer. After rolling his eyes around, he said with a smile on his face: "Look at the gentleman's high spirit and extraordinary conversation. Knowing that you have a lot of knowledge, how about all these things, you only need to pay 70 taels to take them all, even if the shop has a good relationship with the husband."

Liu Luochen stretched out his slender fingers, and tapped lightly on the wooden tabletop, making a rattling sound, as if tapping on someone's heart.

He glanced at the shopkeeper with a half-smile, and then made a gesture: "50 taels, these things and articles are just for reference by scholars from other places. The price you set is so high. People will find these materials on their own, so they don’t need to go to bookstores to buy them, and those poor scholars can’t afford this materials, so it’s better to lower the price if they try it soon.”

The shopkeeper was also a little embarrassed when he heard Liu Luochen's words, but what Liu Luochen said was reasonable. These things are really nothing in the local area. The rare items are from well-known local studies, and almost all have the same information. Those aristocratic families do have famous teachers to teach them, and they have more detailed and high-quality materials, and they are not rare.

After thinking about it, the shopkeeper immediately gritted his teeth, and immediately made a decision: "Okay. Deal."

After Liu Luochen paid the money with a smile, and bought some paper, ink, pens and inkstones, he and Nan Nian left the shop.

The boy carried the heavy object for him, looked at the 50 taels of things on the plate, and asked strangely: "If you want to refer to Liu Zhiyuan's past test questions, you can just buy some top-ranked articles and refer to them. Why are you buying so much?"

Liu Luochen gave a sneaky smile, and then his black eyes were full of confidence: "Although these materials are not rare in the state capital, it is very rare for you to want them in our town. If we will Take the materials back, find some people after the exam, copy them for a few hundred points, and then sell them at a low price. Scholars from all over the world, including those from schools, will flock to them, and they don’t have to worry about selling them at all.”

Liu Luochen thinks more, he can even refer to some modern review materials, and publish some typical policy theories and question types of literature and history in the real questions into a test book, which is widely sold.

When Nan Nian heard Liu Luochen's business experience, she couldn't help but be amazed: "Ah Chen, your brain, it's a pity that you don't go to the imperial examination to become an official."

"I'm not interested in those eight ancient prose. When I think about them staying in that palm-sized examination room for three days, I feel sorry for them." Liu Luochen pursed his lips, obviously a little disgusted, but when he thought of his own Business, he was happy again: "Let's go back to the boys in the school, find some good writers, let them help copy the articles, practice calligraphy by the way, and can subsidize the family."

The more Liu Luochen talked, the happier he was, and his big white teeth gleamed under the sun. He didn't really want to make money, but he just liked the sense of accomplishment of doing business.

Seeing him so happy, Nan Nian naturally followed him: "Since you like it, go back and find some workers to carve out the template and print it with ink."

The two of them communicated one after another, and then they settled the matter. Liu Luochen bought some small things that he would use in life on the street.

When the group returned home, Liu Zhiyuan's eyes turned red when he saw the stack of documents Liu Luochen brought back.
