To The Land of Nevernight

It was not a trivial matter that the Tang family had a scholar case, which alarmed Tang Juren.

Tang Juren invited Tang Shen to Tang's house for a banquet, and specially held [-] banquets for him, held for three days and three nights, and entertained all the neighbors in Gusu Mansion to congratulate the new leader.Tang Shen did not refuse.Although the relationship between him and the Tang family is not as close as a family, after all, the two parties have cooperated and are already one.

After the banquet on the first day, the maid Haitang invited Tang Shen to the side courtyard of the Tang Mansion, Mrs. Tang had been waiting for a long time.

After meeting, Mrs. Tang smiled and said: "I still remember the first time we met last year. At that time, I didn't expect that my nephew would have such amazing talent, and he won the first case in the examinations of Gusu Mansion and Wu County! "

Tang Shen cupped his hands and said modestly, "Auntie was joking, but she's just a scholar."

Mrs. Tang: "Don't be modest. Your cousin is a few years older than you, but he didn't pass the exam this time as a scholar. Alas, it also makes me worry. Alright, let's not talk about that bastard today to make you unhappy. Be careful Son, a few days ago the shopkeeper Fang Da from Jinling Jinxiu Pavilion came to Gusu Mansion and wanted to place an order with our Zhenbao Pavilion."

Tang Shen's eyes lit up: "Soap?"

Mrs. Tang shook her head: "Shopkeeper Fangda wants soap, soap and essential oils!"

Tang Shen: "Good!"

Mrs. Tang: "Good!"

The two smiled at each other.

Soap has been out for more than three months, as Tang Shen said at the beginning, this is his trump card.

It has the function of soap, which looks very similar to soap, but is much cheaper than soap.In ancient times, there was no substitute for soap. This kind of thing was called pancreas, which was made by grinding pig pancreas into pieces and adding sugar and plant ash.Because pig pancreas was used, it finally brought an indispensable fishy smell, and it was gray-black, and the tentacles were sticky.When there was no soap, soap was a must-have tool for ordinary people in Gusu Prefecture to do laundry, but with soap, soap is more durable than soap, and it is clean and beautiful, and it has suddenly become the new favorite of Gusu people.As the saying goes, there is no wine and tea in the house, but there must be salt and soap in the house!

Gusu Mansion is adjacent to Jinling Mansion, Tang Shen had already guessed that someone would find soap, but he didn't expect it so soon.

Soap is easy and convenient to make. Tang Shen never thought that soap and essential oils would be liked by people.

Mrs. Tang said: "I'm afraid you don't know what Jinxiu Pavilion does. Jinxiu Pavilion is the largest cosmetic shop in Jinling Mansion, the largest restaurant in Jinling Mansion is called Jinxiu Building, and the largest embroidery workshop is called Jinxiufang. The name of the restaurant is Jinxiu Distillery. The Zheng family in Jinling Prefecture is the owner of Jinxiu Pavilion, and it is also the leading rich man in the south of the Yangtze River."

Tang Shen understood: "So that's how it is."

Ordinary merchants who come to Gusu Mansion must want soap most when they see the goods in Zhenbao Pavilion.Although soap and essential oils sell well, their audience is always narrower than soap.If it is not a behemoth, I would not dare to take over the soap and essential oil business.But Jinxiu Pavilion is backed by the Zheng family, who is the richest man in Jinling and the richest man in Jiangnan!

Only the Zheng family has the guts to take over the soap and essential oil business, thinking they can sell it.

Mrs. Tang: "The only thing I am hesitating about now is, Shen'er, how should we cooperate with Jinxiu Pavilion. This business will eventually be half of your business. Do you have any insights, can you tell me?"

Tang Shen: "Eldest aunt should already have an idea."

Mrs. Tang smiled: "I can't hide it from you. Shen'er, our Tang family has some power in Gusu Mansion, but if we go to Jinling, we will be blindly smeared. Jinling Mansion is the territory of the Zheng family. If we don't cooperate with them, we will never be able to." Doing business in Jinling Mansion, even if it is done, it is difficult to recover the cost. So I want to cooperate with them. But there are two ways to ship the goods. The first is to go directly to the Grand Canal and ship the goods we have finished. Send it to Jinling. Second, let’s find a workshop directly in Jinling Mansion to make things.”

Tang Shendao: "The second method is a lucrative business. You invest money in the early stage, and you can directly make a profit in the later stage. The first method requires costs every time you transport the goods, and the money consumed on the road is destined to be more than the second method."

Mrs. Tang: "But..."

Tang Shen: "However, the second option is to place our workshop in the distant Jinling Mansion. As my aunt said, Jinling Mansion is the base of the Zheng family. No one knows what will happen if we put the workshop there. Which one did Auntie choose?"

"The first."

"I also think the first one is better."

Tang Shen has always known that there is a Grand Canal in the west of Gusu Prefecture, which was excavated by the previous dynasty, starting from Shengjing and ending in Qiantang.Most of the goods traveling between the north and the south travel on this Grand Canal, but he has never seen this river.

After negotiating a deal with Jinxiu Pavilion, Tang Shen and Yao San went to the Grand Canal the next day.

On the vast and vast canal, thousands of sails are competing, and the flow of people is like a tide.On the shore port, dozens of large ships are unloading and loading.The tea and silk in Gusu Mansion are the best in the world. Every day, tea and silk worth tens of thousands of gold leave this port by boat and sail to the four directions of the Song Dynasty.

Yao Sandao: "My hometown is also adjacent to a tributary of the Grand Canal, but it is far from the main stream of Gusu Prefecture. There are at most ten boats that dock every day. I occasionally talk to the boatmen who are docked and listen to them. Tell stories from all over the world."

Tang Shen: "Brother Yao, do you still understand shipping?"

Yao San said in shame: "The little boss really flattered us, how could I understand this. I just heard from those boatmen that there is a rule when they deliver goods, which is made by the Sha Gang, also known as the Sha Chuan System. For example, our Gusu Mansion, Tang Dynasty The family, the Wang family, and the Sun family all have goods to and from Shengjing. The journey is long, and there may be storms and robbers on the way. The three families will join hands to build three ships. Each ship will put one-third of the goods on each ship. Whichever ship's ship arrived in Shengjing, the three families will share the cargo on the ship equally. As for the goods lost by the sinking ship, the three families will also share equally."

Tang Shen exclaimed: "The ancients still have such wisdom!"

Ten days later, Tang Shen and Mrs. Tang agreed to deliver the goods to Jinling. When he returned home, Aunt Yao was cooking.

"The little boss is back? Coincidentally, accountant Lin also came half an hour ago. Didn't you say you have something to tell him this morning, he has been waiting for you for a long time."

Tang Shen: "He's here? Where is he?"

Aunt Yao came out of the kitchen and looked around: "Did you go to Ah Huang's room?"

Tang Shen frowned.

After all, Lin's accountant was a man, so why did he go to Ah Huang's room?Tang Shen walked to Tang Juan's house, and he found that the little girl actually closed the door tightly in broad daylight.Tang Shen was displeased, he didn't knock on the door, but listened outside the window for a while.The voice inside couldn't be heard clearly, only one or two sentences such as "don't read this" and "you can write it for me to read".

Tang Shen felt strange, he didn't knock on the door, but pushed the door open.

Don Juan screamed and hid all the things on the table behind him in fright.Lin's accountant was also taken aback. He didn't stand or sit.He silently walked to the door and said, "Xiaodong, I didn't even hear when you came back."

Don Juan: "Brother! You don't knock when you come in. You didn't tell me to be polite and knock before entering the house!"

Tang Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "If I knock on the door, don't you know what you two are doing behind the scenes? Don Juan, what are you hiding behind your back, show it."

The little girl hid the things behind her back, pursed her lips, her face was pale, she took a few steps back, and leaned against the wall.

Tang Shen was puzzled, he stepped forward: "Hand it over."

"I do not!"

Tang Shen didn't force her, but turned his head and asked directly, "Account Lin, what are you doing in this room?"

Accountant Lin hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ah Huang, you can take it out and show it to Xiao Dong."

His eyes were red with tears, and Don Juan was forced to take out what was hidden behind him.Tang Shen took a closer look, and found that it was actually a copy of "Poetry of a Thousand Families", and there were a few sheets of rice paper, on which the ink was not dry, and some crooked characters were written on it.With just one glance, Tang Shen understood: "You let Accountant Lin teach you to read in private?"

Accountant Lin: "Little Boss, don't blame Ms. Huang, it's all my fault for being literate."

Tang Shen: "You're just teaching her to read, why do you hide her and keep the door closed?"

Both Tang Juan and Accountant Lin were taken aback.

"Little Boss?"

Don Juan blinked, a tear rolled down her cheek, she said hoarsely, "Brother, you are not angry when I am studying?"

Tang Shen was puzzled: "Why do I get angry when you study. But I am really going to be angry." Tang Shen looked at the words on the rice paper and asked, "How long have you been teaching her to read and write in private, Accountant Lin?"

"There are more than three months."

"More than three months? That means I started teaching before I went to the county exam. Don Juan, look what you wrote! Mr. Liang once said, how handsome I am is as good as I can write." Unbearable. Half a year ago, my handwriting was worse than yours. But only half a year has passed, and my handwriting has been praised by my husband, and I have also won the case twice!"

Tang Juan was stunned for a long time before realizing: "Brother, are you praising yourself for being good-looking?"

Tang Shen: "Did I say that?"

Don Juan: "You have!"

"Oh, then I'm not wrong. Look at your handwriting again, practice handwriting for three months, this is what you wrote?!"

Tang Juan was extremely wronged: "I dare not practice calligraphy. Every time I can only wait for you, Brother Yao, and Aunt Yao to be away, and practice secretly by myself. It is not bad to write like this."

Tang Shen: "There are a lot of excuses! Then I will give you another three months, and I want to see what you can write."

"Brother...you don't object to my reading and writing?" The little girl's tone was cautious, and Tang Shen's heart ached suddenly because of her apprehensive and frightened appearance.

"Why should I object?"

"When my father was still alive, he always said that a woman's lack of talent is virtue. My mother and I were not allowed to touch anything related to reading, and we were not allowed to step into his study..."

It was only then that Tang Shen remembered that Tang Xiucai seemed to have said similar words, but he didn't know that these words had such a great influence on Tang Juan.

Tang Shen blamed himself and said: "I was negligent. I will never object to what you want to do. Of course, apart from murder and arson, if you dare to do it, I will kill relatives righteously. It's just reading, why can't you read? Accountant Lin, You are here today, I wonder if you are willing to accept Don Juan as a student and her teacher."

Don Juan was overjoyed: "Brother!"

Accountant Lin said with a smile: "The little boss has spoken, so naturally I dare not resign."

"My brother is indeed the best brother in the world!"

Tang Shen was praised by his younger sister for a whole day, Tang Juan wished he could say good things about his elder brother to everyone he met on Suijin Street.When eating in the evening, Lin's accountant kept the dishes together.He said: "Xiao Dongjia and Ah Huang look a bit alike."

Yao San: "Indeed, they are brothers and sisters after all, and their eyes are somewhat similar."

Tang Shen was taken aback, but before he could speak, Tang Juan said, "My brother and I don't have the same eyes, I'm much older than him."

Tang Shen: "Heh, you are not ashamed to speak out, even if you stare out your eyes, they are not as big as mine."

There was laughter in the yard.

Three days later, Tang Shen and Accountant Lin boarded the Tang family's cargo ship and headed for Jinling Mansion.

It has been a year since time travel, and this is the first time Tang Shen has left Gusu.At first he was quite interested, standing on the bow of the boat watching the scenery on both sides.I got tired of watching it for a long time, so I went into the cabin to stay.In the evening, everyone came to Jinling Mansion.Tang Shen didn't go to Jinxiu Pavilion with the treasurer of Zhenbao Pavilion, he and Lin accountant walked around Jinling Mansion.

The ancient capital of thousands of years, ten miles away from the Qinhuai River.The spring breeze is blowing and the willows are light, and the sons and daughters of Jinling are full of pride.

The two wandered around the bustling markets in Jinling and came to Jiangnan Gongyuan.

Accountant Lin: "This is the place where Xiaodong's family will take the exams. If you pass the exam..." The voice paused, "Hey, what did I say? I really said something wrong, slap your mouth. Xiaodong's family will naturally be able to pass the exam. Zhong After you become a Juren, you have to come to this Gongyuan to study, it’s fine if you don’t come, but at least you have to be a student.”

The Jiangnan Tribute Courtyard is a forbidden place for the government. Except for scientific examinations, only the Juren students in it can go in to attend classes at ordinary times.

Tang Shen took a look outside and felt that this place was not much different from Ziyang Academy.

The two went to the Confucius Temple and Wuyi Lane to look around.

Tang Shen said with emotion: "Wild grass and flowers by the Zhuque bridge, and the sunset at the entrance of the bird's clothing alley. In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people. This is the bird's clothing alley!"

Lin's accountant was startled: "What does the little boss say?"

Tang Shen: "Nothing, I don't know where I heard the poem, just read it casually."

Lin Zhangfang: "Where did Xiaodong hear this poem? You can't read it blindly. In the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people. Let's forget about Xie's family, but they have declined and are no longer prosperous. But Langya The Wang family is a big family, a master of the clan! If someone hears you cursing Wang Xie's decline behind his back, it will be a catastrophe!"

"……what?"

Accountant Lin: "Young master, don't read any more."

Tang Shen nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, I won't read it anymore."

Dare to be in this world, the Wang and Xie families have not yet gone bankrupt!

The two of them only wandered around for an hour, and the jade toad was suspended in the air, and it was night.Tang Shen wanted to find a place to rest first, but Lin's accountant hesitated for a while and said, "This is very close to the Qinhuai River."

Tang Shen was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Little master... I came to Jinling specially this time, because I want to meet that unique Jinling, a merchant woman on the Qinhuai River?"

Tang Shen was stunned for a long time before he realized what the business girl meant.

Is he so horny!

Tang Shen coughed and reminded: "Account Lin, I'm only fourteen this year."

"I remember when I was fourteen, I was already engaged to my wife who had gone earlier."

"..."

No chat today!

Of course, Tang Shen didn't want to go to Qinhuai River. In fact, he came to Jinling to inspect the market.The living conditions of the people in Jinling Mansion and the merchants in Jinling Mansion are all the objects he wants to observe.At the same time, he also planned to go to Jinxiu Pavilion the next day.Jinling Mansion is indeed rich, but if you want to sell essential oils and soaps well, you can't do it with money.

Tang Shen planned to go to Jinxiu Pavilion to help shopkeeper Fang Da design the storefront decoration of essential oils and soaps, just like what he did in Gusu Mansion.

But here they come...

Tang Shen said, "Would you like to take a look?"

"Let's go." Accountant Lin said with a look on his face that I knew you wanted to go.

Tang Shen: "..."

It's too late to look back now!

Du Mu once wrote a seven-character quatrain: the smoke cage is cold, the water is moon cage and the sand is in the cage, and the Qinhuai River is near the restaurant at night.The business woman doesn't know the hatred of the subjugated country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river.

The country is peaceful and the people are safe in the Song Dynasty, and the business women are naturally not singing the sound of the country's subjugation, but the song of the prosperous age.On the Qinhuai River in the night, a series of painted boats swayed gently with the water waves, the shadows of lights and the sound of oars swayed.Tang Shen didn't board any of the painted boats, he walked along the river bank, watching the prosperous scene from afar.

The sound of the pipa and the qin of the autumn ladies are intertwined with the sound of the Qinhuai River.

Tang Shen suddenly said: "Smoke cage, cold water, moon cage sand! That's right, this is Jinling!"

Lin's accountant didn't know why.

On the second day, Tang Shen went to the Jinxiu Pavilion. Shopkeeper Fang Da knew he was coming and greeted him outside the door.Tang Shen roughly described the design of the storefront he envisioned. Shopkeeper Fang Da froze in place, and repeated: "Smoke cage cold water... moon cage sand?"

"Yes."

"Is this what Mr. Tang did?"

"No, I heard that from someone else."

"This is a beautiful sentence through the ages, it can last for thousands of years! Mr. Tang, don't worry, as you said, I will find someone to prepare for the water and white sand, and redecorate my Jinxiu Pavilion according to your plan. Smoke cage, cold water, moon cage sand, I dare to assert that the essential oil will be a big seller in our Jinling Mansion."

Half a month later, soap, scented soap and essential oils were sold together in Jinling Mansion.

This time Jinxiu Pavilion did not deliberately hide soap like Treasure Pavilion and did not sell it first.Because Jinling Mansion is close to Gusu Mansion, Jinling people have known about soap for a long time, and even bought soap from Gusu Mansion.Jinxiu Pavilion sold the three items together, and at the same time, the Zheng family also entrusted someone from the Wang family of Langya to inscribe the inscriptions and put them in the shop of Jinxiu Pavilion.

"Smoke Cage Cold Water Moon Cage Sand"

Signed, Wang Zifeng.

When shopkeeper Fang Da held this inscription, he was shocked and said, "Master, how did you get Wang Xianggong to inscribe it!"

Zheng Hao, the owner of the Jinxiu Pavilion, the current head of the Zheng family, also felt strange: "I just wanted to ask the second son Wang to write an inscription. Given the relationship between my Zheng family and their Wang family, it shouldn't be a problem. I don't know when the line of poetry came to his ears, he said it was well written, and before returning to Shengjing, he wrote these seven characters and gave it to the second son."

Shopkeeper Fang Da said: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful! Master, although we don't have the "Golden Thread" inscribed by Liang Daru himself, but there are Wang Xianggong's characters. In our Jinling, it is much easier to use than Liang Daru's!"

Not only is it easy to use in Jinling Mansion, Fang Da shopkeeper thought: Even if this word is hung in Shengjing, it will be an extremely golden signboard!

Of course Tang Shen didn't know about these things, he was only responsible for the decoration of the store, how could he have thought that shopkeeper Fang Da was worthy of being a businessman, he was extremely shrewd, he even used the marketing method of inviting Liang Chan inscriptions in Zhenbao Pavilion, and the results were even better than him good.

After returning to Gusu Mansion, there was only one month left before leaving the hospital for the exam, Tang Shen began to study hard.

Later generations often talk about titles on the gold list, and most people know the number one, second, and third, but they are not very clear about the low-level exams such as Juren and Xiucai, and they don't know the complexity of the three children's exams.In the first county examination of the children's examination, if you pass the examination, you will be a child student; if you pass the second government examination, you will be a scholar.

But it doesn't mean that every scholar has the opportunity to take the exam, otherwise the Jiangnan Gongyuan has so many rooms, and everyone goes for the exam, how can it be crowded.Scholars want to be admitted to Juren, except for some special methods, most of them have to pass the college entrance examination, and get the opportunity to participate in the provincial examination and the examination.

Tang Shen still writes two essays on making art and one poem on test posts every day.If Liang Song was in Gusu Mansion, he would send it to Mr. Liang for review every day; if Liang Song was not there, he would keep it until Liang Song came back.

In this way, it was the day before the college entrance examination, because Tang Shenyou had to get up early to go to the examination room the next day, so Tang Shenyou took a break before the hour.At three o'clock in the morning, someone knocked on the door suddenly.Yao San was startled awake, opened the door, and a dusty man stood outside the door.He was wearing a smock, hiding his face in it, and asked in a low voice, "But Tang Shen's family?"

Yao San said vigilantly: "Exactly, who are you?"

Tang Shen was woken up, got some clothes off and walked out of the house.

The visitor said: "My name is Xu Hui, and I am Master Liang's nephew. Go and tell Tang Shen, he will naturally know."

"Fool?"

Xu Hui raised her head and saw Tang Shen.

Tang Shen: "Come in first, talk to the room if you have anything to say."

Xu Hui entered the room with a serious expression and refused to speak for a long time.Tang Shen understood what he meant: "Brother Yao, you can go to the yard. This is Xu Yuzhi, Mr.'s cousin. Mr. Xu is looking for me for something."

Yao San nodded and left the room.

Tang Shen asked, "But what happened to Mr. Liang?"

Xu Hui shook her head: "Never. My lord is still in Jinling Mansion, and I'm afraid he won't be back until a few days later."

"That?"

Xu Hui hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Excellency hasn't come back yet, but there is one thing I can't wait for. Tang Shen, I'm afraid you don't know, Your Excellency has gone to Jinling Mansion three times in the past six months to save an old friend. Your Excellency That old friend of mine has been imprisoned in the prison for 25 years, and for some reason half a year ago, my lord got the news that someone seemed to want to murder that person."

Tang Shen thought to himself, isn't it Zhong Wei Zhong Daru?

On the surface, he pretended not to know: "Who wants to harm Mr.'s friend?"

"I don't know either. But this morning, a man returned to Gusu Mansion from Shengjing to attend the funeral for a relative of his. He only stayed for two days. I didn't have time to inform the adults, and the adults probably have no way to deal with it." After a pause, Xu Huidao: "Tang Shen, let me tell you that this person has some relationship with the current Holy Master. Everyone knows that the current Holy Master is obsessed with cultivating immortals, and he only favors the demon Li Xiaoren. The news I found is that a lay disciple of Li Xiaoren returned Gusu Mansion. If you want to inquire about Shengjing's news, try to figure out Sheng Ting, he is the best way."

Tang Shen frowned and said, "You want me to find out the news for you?"

Xu Hui sighed: "I am also desperate. My lord is poor, don't look at him as the Governor of Gusu Mansion, his power and relationship in Gusu Mansion may not be as big as your Tang family, so I can only come to you for help, I hope you I can ask Tang Juren to try."

Tang Shen pondered for a moment: "Are you in a hurry?"

"That person will leave tomorrow evening!"

"Okay, you come with me."

Tang Shen changed his clothes and went out with Xu Hui.Xu Hui thought that he was going to take her to the Tang Mansion, but unexpectedly, Tang Shen and Yao San went around twice, but instead of going to the Tang Mansion, they came to a compound.

Yao San knocked on a door, and a middle-aged man with a strong figure came out. He met him and said, "Little boss, brother Yao."

Tang Shen: "Brother Liu, if I remember correctly, you are in charge of the logistics business in Tongde Lane, right?"

Liu Haozi said: "Yes. Is there something you want to order from Xiaodong's family?"

Tang's logistics business has already been on the right track. Three months ago, Tang Shen specially selected some smarter guys and promoted them as supervisors to manage the logistics business in a square street.This Liu Haozi is one of them.

Tang Shen: "If you want to inquire about a family, is it possible? That family lives in Tongde Lane."

"Three days later, I will be able to tell my little boss what color the man was wearing that day!"

"What if it's only one day?"

Liu Haozi was stunned: "We can only do our best."

"Okay, then tomorrow you will listen to this gentleman, and you will do what he says." Tang Shen introduced Xu Hui to Liu Haozi.

Liu Haozi nodded repeatedly.

Xu Hui looked at Tang Shen gratefully, and cupped her hands.

Tang Shen and Yao San left.

Yes, from the very beginning, when Tang Shen decided to start a logistics business, he put an eyeliner on himself in Gusu Mansion.He had read a book in his previous life, which told about a legendary family, the Rothschild family.In the nineteenth century, the Rothschild family knew the outcome of the Battle of Waterloo in the first place with their powerful news network.They took advantage of the time difference to make a fortune and became the richest people in the world ever since.

Information is the most powerful tool for making money.

In the early morning of the second day, Tang Shen entered the examination room with a long-eared book basket.He sat in front of the desk with a calm expression, as if no one had knocked on the door last night, and he had heard about the imperial coup more than 20 years ago.Tang Shen turned over the test paper calmly, and Jia Liangsheng sat in front of him, looking at him expectantly.

Tongshi Xiaosanyuan is an honor to Tang Shen, and a good literary name to Jia Liangsheng.He came to Gusu Prefecture to serve as the county magistrate for the first time, and if he got a little Sanyuan, it would be an auspicious and happy event to tell.So in order not to let Tang Shen write off the topic, he deliberately asked three simple questions for the college entrance examination.

Tang Shen, you can't go wrong with this, right?

Tang Shen opened the paper, looked at the questions on it, and suddenly froze.

The first question: "Learn and learn from time to time."

Tang Shen stayed for a while, then subconsciously opened the second question.

The second question: "Know what you know."

Tang Shen: "..."

Well, don't look at the third test post poem, it must be a familiar topic again, and it is absolutely impossible to write off-topic topics!

Tang Shen quietly raised his head, his gaze met Jia Liangsheng.

Jia Liangsheng's eyes were earnest: "Write well, don't make mistakes, you are the leader of this year's case!"

Tang Shen: "..."

The unspoken rules of the ancient examination room are really harmful!He obviously didn't want to get the case, why is there someone rushing to give him the case.Alas, then I can only reluctantly accept it.

Tang Shen lowered his head and began to answer the question, but his mouth secretly grinned to the ear.

hey-hey……

Hey Hey!

After the first exam was over, Tang Shen handed in the paper, and Jia Liangsheng couldn't wait to take his paper and read it.He carefully read two poems on making art and one poem on trial posts, and nodded frequently.

Tang Shen also heaved a sigh of relief, no surprises, he probably will be the top case again in this college entrance examination.

"I'm really a genius!" Tang Shen thought to himself.

Going home at night, Tang Shen didn't hide his joy, he said directly to Yao San: "Bring the accountant Lin's family over, let's celebrate."

Yao San: "What are you celebrating?"

Tang Shen smiled and said, "Congratulations to me for passing the college exam."

It never occurred to Yao San that he had just passed the first exam, and there were four more rounds to go. How could Tang Shen be so sure that he could pass the college exam.He trusted Tang Shen very much, and happily invited the accountant Lin's family.

Lin accountant is experienced, he stroked his beard and said: "It seems that the young master is very confident, and he answered very well today."

Tang Shen smiled without saying a word.

Aunt Yao cooked a table of delicious dishes, and everyone ate the dishes to celebrate.Yao San drank two cups with Accountant Lin, but Accountant Lin drank too much and said that Tang Juan had recited three more poems recently.The little girl was not shy at all, and proudly recited the poem on the spot.

As the night darkened, Tang Shen left the crowd and quietly opened the door.

I saw Liu Haozi standing outside the door, and the two looked at each other.

Tang Shen asked: "Xu Yuzhi asked you to check the news, have you found it?"

Liu Haozi said: "I checked a lot of news, I don't know which one he wants. But Mr. Xu didn't say anything wrong, it should be that he got what he wanted."

"What did you say to him, tell me clearly."

Liu Haozi told Tang Shen the news he found out today.

"...The Taoist priest Hua said he was a Taoist priest, but he married three daughters-in-law. He was also from a wealthy family in Tongde Lane. When he came back yesterday, he talked to his wife and said that he wanted to find a way to leave Shengjing and go back to his aunt. Su Mansion. Because on the night when the meteorite fell to the ground half a year ago, his two senior brothers were on errands in the palace, and they didn't come back from the palace that night."

Tang Shen: "The night when the meteorite fell to the ground... Eh, that night?"

Liu Haozi: "Is there anything else the little boss wants?"

"It's all right. Go back, and remember what I asked you to do today, and you can't say a word."

"Yes."

After closing the door, Tang Shen still couldn't do it after thinking about it. He called Yao San, "You give 50 taels of silver to Liu Haozi, and tell him to leave Gusu Mansion immediately, and never come back from now on."

Yao San guessed that it had something to do with what happened last night, so he nodded and went out with the money.

Ten days later, the results of the college entrance examination will be released.

Sun Yue and Tang Shen came to the gate of the academy together, and most of the students from Ziyang Academy were present at the same time.

The sky is not yet bright, and the stars are all over the sky.Tang Shen was a little sleepy, he yawned a few times, but Sun Yue stared at the gate of the academy with wide-eyed eyes.

Tang Shen: "Are you sure you have passed the college exam?"

Sun Yue: "I'm not sure, but just in case, I'll be lucky. This time the title is so simple, it's hard to write well, but I can't make mistakes. Look at those old scholars in our academy, although they say they are better than me. Okay, but they may not write better than me when they write 'Learning while learning from time to time'. I can write this stuff too!"

Tang Shen smiled, and the old god said on the ground: "I wish you the bottom one."

Sun Yue wasn't upset either: "It's good to be the last one, it's great to be the last one. The bottom one is also included in the list. If I enter the list, I will be a Gongsheng student. I can report to Jiangnan Gongyuan, and I can take the provincial examination in the coming year!"

"That's all you can do!"

Tang Shen scolded, but in his heart he also hoped that Sun Yue would pass the exam.Fatty Sun looks unreliable, but he is very serious about reading.Every day, he earnestly completes the homework assigned by his teacher and never compromises.Among all the rich kids in Ziyang Academy, he is the hardest working one, even Tang Shen is ashamed of himself - after all, he still has to manage the business of Zhenbao Pavilion and Tang's Logistics.

There is no difference between the No.1 in the college entrance examination and the last one. They are both Gong students, and they can all participate in the rural examination.If he hadn't already taken the case twice, Tang Shen would not be interested in the third case.The desk is not worth much, there are three of them every year!

Finally, when Yin's time arrived, two officials and a Xuezheng came to the academy holding the red list.

The red list slowly opened, some people wept bitterly, some were ecstatic.Such a crazy dream-like scene has appeared in the land of China for thousands of years, and it has been like this every year without interruption.The imperial examinations were really pedantic, and the stereotyped system stifled the thinking of the students, making them bound by the Four Books and Five Classics.But this is the greatest fairness that the ancients could achieve!

Regardless of rich or poor, everyone is tested in the same examination room.

This is the best way to change your life, and it is a broad road before the world.No matter how old you are, never give up.

Soon, someone announced the good news to Tang Shen.

"Congratulations, Tang Sanyuan!"

"Congratulations Tang Shen!"

"Tang Xiao Sanyuan, you can go to Qianqiu Tower to treat guests."

Tang Shen smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you, classmates. See you at Qianqiu Tower tomorrow at noon."

After a while, Tang Shen found that Fatty Sun had disappeared.He searched and found Sun Yue among the crowd.

"What, did you hit Sun Yue?"

Fatty Sun turned around slowly, Tang Shen was horrified to find that the fat man was crying.Sun Yue was so excited that he rushed forward and hugged Tang Shen, his heavy body almost knocked Tang Shen to pieces: "The last one, really the last one! Tang Shen, you are so eloquent, you must do it next time!" If I can win the exam, I’ll be the bottom one! Oh yes, you said just now that you’re going to the Qianqiu Tower for a treat at noon tomorrow? No! Students, my Sun Yue will treat you at the Qianqiu Tower at noon tomorrow, and I’ll treat you!”

Tang Shen couldn't laugh or cry.

After the results of the college entrance examination were released, Tang Shen and his classmates gathered again for a while. When he returned home, he saw someone.

Tang Shen was shocked, and hurried over: "Why is Mr. here?"

This was Liang Song's first visit to his house.

Liang Song sat on the wooden chair in the middle of the yard, and said with a smile, "This is your sister?"

Tang Shen glanced at Tang Juan: "Yes, her name is Tang Juan, she is ten years old."

"Don Juan, which Juan is it?"

The little girl immediately said: "Yellow yellow."

Tang Shen: "Huang Yu's Huang. There is a saying in "Book of Changes Da Zongbo" that Xuan Huang is a gift to the north. Sir, this is Huang."

Don Juan looked at his brother in astonishment.

Liang Song saw the reaction of the two brothers and sisters, nodded and said: "Huang, Meiyu, it's a good name."

Tang Juan stayed where she was for a long time, then she ran excitedly to the kitchen, and said as she ran, "Ms. Yao, I have a name, Tang Juan, not the yellow Huang, but Huangyu's Huang! Liang Daru said it's a good name... ..."

Tang Shen covered her face, she would have a name, why can't this girl be more reserved and lose her position in front of her husband!

Liang Song stood up and said, "Xiao Sanyuan Tang?"

"Ah, sir, you already know."

"Well, I knew it one night earlier than you. Let's go, Tang Sanyuan, let's go for a walk."

"Yes."

The two went out and walked along the neighborhood.

Next to the house that Tang Shen rented was a small river, and there were small rivers everywhere in Gusu Mansion, and the two walked along the river for a while.

Liang chanted: "A few days ago Yuzhi came to look for you?"

Tang Shen was silent, and said, "Yes."

The author has something to say: Xiao Tanglang: What are you doing, the Wang family is not bankrupt yet? !

Young and old in the Wang family: Meow meow? ? ?Eldest young mistress, you......? ? ?

Next door·I still didn't show up today·Lao Wang: My wife is a prodigal, everyone laughed at me.
