That night, Li Jin showed Qin Muwen the bank note.

The boy's almond eyes widened slightly, and he said, "Where did Ah Jin get so much money?"

Li Jin said, "I sold the prescription of Xiaoshi Wan for 50 taels of silver."

Qin Muwen didn't look at the bank note again, even though it was the largest amount of money he had ever seen since he was born.

Because he obviously paid more attention to his husband, he could sense Li Jin's emotions.Qin Muwen unbuttoned Li Jin and brought water to wipe his face.

His voice was soft and soothing, "Ah Jin, why are you a little unhappy?"

Li Jin said: "Because I didn't create the prescription of Dashanzha Pills, but I just read it in an ancient book. Now I sell the prescription to make money, and I feel guilty."

Qin Muwen hugged him, still with a gentle tone, "I used to like to read miscellaneous books, and there happened to be an introduction about this."

He paused, then said: "An original secret recipe that is very beneficial can usually be sold for thousands of taels in the capital, no matter how bad it is, as long as it is original, it can be sold for at least 300 taels of silver.

As for those non-original prescriptions, depending on the effect, the price can be between 50 taels and 100 taels.

Ah Jin said in advance that her recipe is not original, and our town is small, so the shopkeeper will only give you 50 taels. "

Li Jin was taken aback. It turned out that what the shopkeeper said earlier was not comforting at all, but the pricing in the industry is just like this...

It has to be said that the longer Li Jin has been in contact with his husband, the more attractive things he will find in him.

Qin Muwen's words completely relieved the knot in his heart before, which made Li Jin eager to try, and even wanted to sell a way to make preserved eggs.

But he was just thinking about it. He didn't want to go through this way of making money again.

But if he could compile a simplified version of enlightenment arithmetic based on "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and the knowledge in his mind, he should be able to earn a lot of money.

Qin Muwen approached and said, "Ah Jin, I had a drink today."

"Well, what kind of wine do you want to taste?"

Qin Muwen was surprised: "But Ah Jin didn't bring back wine at all."

Li Jin kissed her directly, and the two exchanged breaths: "Have you tasted it yet?"

Qin Muwen might have wanted to be shy at first, but his thoughts were taken away by Li Jin's words. He actually thought about it seriously, and then shook his head: "No."

Li Jin tried his best not to bully him, why is his little husband so obedient.

After taking a shower, Li Jin hugged him in his arms and told him his plan.

"Tomorrow, I'll walk to Fucheng by the waterway. I'll pick out a house first, and then I'll pick you up and Baozi when I come back."

Little Baozi was asleep at first, but when he heard Li Jin say the word 'baozi', he knew he was calling him, so he suddenly opened his eyes wide, "嘤嘤."

Li Jin quickly picked up Xiao Baozi and put him to sleep.

Fortunately, Xiao Baozi didn't usually wake up at this time, his body's biological clock kept him awake for a long time, and soon fell asleep again.

Qin Muwen pointed to the sleeping little Baozi, and said in a low voice, "Now he knows that 'Bao...' is calling him, he is very clever."

Li Jin was silent for a moment, just wanting to sigh why his cub is so smart.

If he talked about steamed stuffed buns later, he would use Li Ruolai instead.Sure enough, Xiao Baozi didn't know that his real name was Li Ruo, he didn't respond to these two words at all, and slept soundly.

Early the next morning, Li Jin entrusted Qin Muwen and the child to the care of Li Zhuzi's wife. After thanking him, he took dry food and a cage on his back and went to the town.

There is actually a docking point for ships in the town, but it is not counted as a pier. Before that, the river lanterns were released there during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Originally, there was a temple fair in the town on the fifteenth day of the first month, but it was not long before the February county examination, and it was cold winter, so he finally chose to stay with his husband and children at the house where the earth dragon was burned.

From the town to the outer city of Fucheng, if the wind is favorable, it only takes one day.

But if the wind is not smooth, you have to dock the boat at the shore at night and find a temple or inn to stay for the night.

There are mostly mountains along the waterway, and there is little chance of having an inn. Most experienced boatmen will choose to stay overnight in temples near Fucheng.

This was Li Jin's first time riding an ancient boat. Without any power equipment, he could float smoothly on the water with only a penny.

After leaving the town, the width of the river increased dramatically, and the flow became more turbulent. The scenery on both sides of the river was like a canvas, unfolding inch by inch.

Li Jin stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back. The wind made his clothes rattle, but he didn't seem to feel the cold at all, and he just focused on admiring the surrounding scenery.

It is nothing more than good mountains and good waters, but you can see the looming green tiles and cornices halfway up the mountain, making people feel like they are in a painting.

Li Jin suddenly wanted to paint.

The boatman said: "Students, don't blow the wind for too long, you will catch cold easily." Then he called the old lady at the bow to give Li Jin a bowl of ginger soup, "After drinking this soup, it's never too late for you to look."

Li Jin smiled and thanked: "Thank you, this is my first time on a boat, and I have never experienced such a wonderful scenery before."

"When we see each other every day, we feel that this is nothing. However, in the early spring, when the snow on the mountains has not yet melted and the ice in the river has melted, the scenery we see is really beautiful.

But at that time we didn't dare to sail, until a boat could float to Fucheng and come back, I dared not go out. "

Otherwise, the unmelted ice in the river could knock the boat into a big hole, and even the people and the boat would sink into the river, which would be fatal.

Li Jin said, "Safety is the most important thing."

It was the first time for the boatman to see such a talkative young man, he said: "You are different from other people, I once carried a scholar, he thought I couldn't speak official language, so he kept pretending that he didn't understand me.

At that time, I thought he really didn't understand, but I sent him to the government office, and the person who picked him up also spoke the dialect of our town. "

Li Jin was silent again, and finally changed the subject abruptly: "It's getting dark, where shall we stay at night?"

This time, the boatman mainly transported some special products from the town to Fucheng, and he was also very happy to bring a person along and make a lot of money.

Hearing Li Jin's question, the boatman really forgot what he wanted to say just now, he replied: "There is a temple around the corner, I will stop there in a while, and we will sleep directly in the boat tent.

You are a scholar, you can go to the temple to stay overnight, no money is charged. "

Li Jin nodded in response. In ancient times, many candidates chose to travel around before taking the Jinshi exam.

Temples are really friendly to scholars. Some people even live in temples for a long time to study because of the rain in their houses.

Therefore, many literati and monks had a harmonious relationship in ancient times.Even become best friends.

Before it was completely dark, Li Jin got off the boat, carried his luggage, and climbed more than 300 steps to the gate of the temple.

Seeing Li Jin's attire, the little monk sweeping the floor said directly, "Is the benefactor here to stay?"

"Exactly, it's getting late, and the boat is afraid of danger, so I can only come to bother you."

"The benefactor is very polite. There are still many vacant rooms in our temple. Please follow me, the benefactor."

The little monk took him to the back hall, and an older monk politely asked Li Jin to take out his identity document.

After the inspection, Li Jin was directly assigned a room by the river bank.

"The temple stipulates that the bell must be rung every hour, please forgive me."

"Your temple can let me stay overnight, I am very grateful."

After the monk left, Li Jin looked at his room. There was a bed, a futon, a table and an oil lamp. Although the room was small, it was well-equipped.

It was completely dark, Li Jin went to the vegetarian room to eat vegetarian food, and after returning to the house, he lit the oil lamp and drew all the mountain and water scenes he saw during the day.

It was late at night after the painting was finished.

Li Jin lay down in his clothes, and before he fell asleep, he heard the distant sound of the copper bell, with a long ending.

Two lines of poems suddenly popped up in his mind: "Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bell rings at midnight to the passenger ship."

Isn't he staying at a temple outside Fucheng?The boatman and the old lady on the passenger ship can also hear the bell every time they rest here.

Early the next morning, Li Jin packed up his room, carried his bags, lit a stick of incense in front of the Buddhist hall, and set off again.

At noon that day, Li Jin arrived outside the Fucheng. After paying the money, he hurried into the city.

Li Jin first found an inn. It wasn't during the imperial examination period recently, and the inn's business was sluggish. You can find a clean inn in the outer city for more than 30 Wen.

He asked the waiter in the shop to inquire about the person in charge of house rental and purchase in Fucheng.

The waiter pointed him in the direction: "The objective is to find Mr. Wang. After entering the inner city, go straight from the main street, turn left at the first alley, and the door is always open to Mr. Wang's residence."

"Thank you."

According to his words, Li Jin found the so-called Mr. Wang.

In ancient times, special persons were in charge of the sale and leasing of houses in prefectures, counties, and even towns. If you want to buy a house, you have to go to him first, screen the buyer's purchase conditions, and then choose a house for him.

That is to say, even if the buyer and the seller have discussed it, they must first register with the person in charge, and then the person in charge will ask the neighbors for their opinions. If the neighbors do not agree, the house will not be sold.

Mr. Wang first checked Li Jin's hometown and the village head's letter of knowledge, and then looked at the list of his only remaining relatives.

He frowned: "Your information is not very good, your financial resources are not rich, and you have no relatives. I can't do it for you."

Li Jin said, "Mr. Wang, there are documents and materials later."

Mr. Wang said: "I'm very busy. I won't pass the screening for these two most basic points. You should go to the outer city to buy a house. It's cheaper there. Give the person in charge a little thought, and he will handle it for you. "

Li Jin sighed: "I am not talented, it is the county magistrate and the magistrate's handpicked case for the county examination and the government examination. This time I came to Fucheng to buy a house to prepare for next year's hospital examination."

As he spoke, he took out the letter written by Mr. Song, "This is the letter from the teacher recommending that I go to Fucheng Academy to study."

Mr. Wang was startled, and quickly read the two "good news" at the back. The seals of the magistrate and county magistrate are all on them!

He quickly stood up and said, "It turned out to be Li Tongsheng. I got dizzy when I got busy. Please don't remember the villain."

Anyone who has taken the imperial examination knows that if you have won the first place in the case, you must be a scholar after the court examination.And a scholar has the possibility of becoming an official.

That's why Mr. Wang suddenly respected him. In fact, his attitude was not that bad before, and his tone of speech and affairs was very businesslike.

Li Jin was not proud of his change of attitude at all, but praised: "Mr. Wang is a gentleman, how can I care about it?"

When Mr. Wang heard his words, he felt very relieved. He poured a cup of tea for Li Jin and asked, "Does Li Tongsheng have a favorite location? Or the size and price of the house?"

The author has something to say: hand-picked: generally only the emperor or the supreme ruler of a certain area will name xx to be xxxx

The county magistrate is also considered the boss of the county, and so is the magistrate... so I used qwq

[When I was a child, I always liked the phrase "Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the midnight bell to the passenger ship". I went to Suzhou the year before last, which can be regarded as fulfilling my child's dream. 】
