[Red Mansion] Plane Merchant Jia Rong

After several people got the desk lamp, they hugged and touched it curiously.Fan Ming lightly pressed the button a few times, and the look of surprise on his face became more and more intense. "What is this lamp made of, and why can it eat up and spit out light?"

Lan Yu explained in a low voice: "This is an uncle of the owner's family. He learned from the Kunlun Fairy Mountain, and one of the Taoism he practiced is called Mechanism. This lamp is something that the old man used Mechanism to refine when he was bored. "

When Jia Rong handed over a lot of goods to Lanyan Bookstore, he said that he would open a fruit shop in the near future, selling ordinary fruits, as well as spiritual fruits that have miraculous effects in curing diseases and detoxifying.

He also said that he had asked someone to study the special carriage "Somersault Cloud" that carries people to move, and he expected to see the results in two months.

The things that Jia Rong said are all different and not like ordinary things. Although the emperor's name is useful, he is only a mortal, and the weight is not enough, so Lan Yu decided to use this batch of desk lamps as an introduction to let the world know about them. Jinjiang Commercial Bank not only has the emperor as the backstage, but also the empress dowager.

Fan Ming and several scholars who bought lamps were taken aback, and lost their voices: "It was actually made by an expert using Taoism, no wonder it is so miraculous!"

Lan Yu smiled without saying a word, watching a few surprised scholars leave.

After the lunch break, the students who went home for meals entered the academy in an endless stream.

While waiting for the arrival of his husband, he was a bit bored, so Fan Ming simply took out the newly bought test question set to have a look.

Seeing this, his thoughts were immersed in it, and he unconsciously picked up the pen and ink, and started to write the test questions.

After finishing a few scripture questions, Fan Ming guessed that the lecturer was about to come, so Fan Ming was going to put away the test questions.At this moment, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a red question at the end of the paper.

Out of curiosity, Fan Ming stopped closing the paper, and his eyes drifted to the red-marked questions. After reading the questions, he subconsciously thought about how to answer them.

He held the pen in his right hand, and the ink on the pen tip kept dropping.I don't know how much time has passed, but Fan Ming still hasn't come up with an answer, and his eyes gradually turn red.

The question marked in red at the end of the test paper is an additional question added on purpose by Jia Rong. The difficulty is five stars. It is said that it has made thousands of students cry.

Judging by Fan Ming's broken expression, it does have such an effect.

He knocked his head on the desk, knocked and knocked, and suddenly cried aggrievedly.When the surrounding students heard Dongjin, they immediately surrounded him. "What happened? Brother Fan, why are you crying?"

Fan Ming choked up and said, "This question is so difficult, I can't figure out how to answer it even after thinking about it."

"What question?" The students said one after another: "Let's take a look for you."

"That's the way, it's too difficult." Fan Ming pointed to the question marked in red at the end of the test paper, his eyes full of accusations.

The 30 people in the room fell silent after watching it.

Is this a question made by people?If the imperial examination questions are like this, how many people want to commit suicide.

When the lecturer entered the door, he saw a group of students gathered in a pile, not sitting in their respective seats, he was suddenly a little angry. "What are you doing, what are you doing! All of you, why don't you go back to your seats and sit down?"

Hearing his voice, everyone who looked like a piece of wood turned their heads in unison, and shouted with red eyes, "Sir, help me!"

The crowd parted ways, Fan Ming sniffed, and came to the teacher with the test set in his arms. "This question is so difficult, it's hard to cry! Sir, how can you answer it?"

After reading it, the gentleman fell silent.

The students saw Mr. Xiang's black face as if they had eaten Xiang, and knew in their hearts that he was also stumped, so they fell silent again.

The air was suddenly quiet, and everyone looked down at their toes.

Suddenly, Fan Ming slapped himself hard on the head, "Oh, I forgot the answers to the test questions given by the bookstore."

The gentleman raised his head with a swipe, and urged eagerly: "Take it out quickly!"

Fan Ming hurriedly turned to the end of the test set and found the answer to the difficult problem.After a while, everyone finished reading, and couldn't help feeling a deep admiration for the answerers.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"Amazing!"

"Great answer!"

"This man is a genius!"

While the students clapped their hands in admiration, the teacher opened the test set and began to browse.After the students' voices fell, he grabbed Fan Ming excitedly and said, "Where did you get this paper? Do you still have it?"

"There is a new Jinjiang Bookshop a thousand steps to the east of the academy. The shopkeeper said that after completing these papers, my grades will be greatly improved, so I bought a copy. Mr. read it , how credible do you think that person’s words are?”

"Ten!" The gentleman gave a resounding answer without thinking. "The person who came up with this kind of test set is definitely a very talented person, and the one who made the test is full of knowledge. If you are proficient in doing this kind of test set, as long as you get good grades, all of you will definitely be on the list in the coming year!"

In an instant, the room was in an uproar.

"There will be no lectures this afternoon, you all go buy a copy of the problem set, don't let someone snatch it up!"

When the teacher gave an order, the students in the room rushed out with the wind under their feet.

A group of people came fast enough, but when they arrived, there was no room for people in the bookstore.

It turned out that the people who bought the test set with Fan Ming at that time, brought the test set to the academy, and immediately alarmed their husbands, and they took a step ahead of Fan Ming Academy, and brought people from their own academy to buy the test set .

"Shopkeeper! I want a test set! The ones for one tael of silver!"

"Shopkeeper, give me a [-]-word test set!"

"Shopkeeper, quickly get me the test set!"

All of a sudden, the bookstore was filled with voices anxiously calling for the test set.

Because of the commotion in the bookstore, the reputation of the bookstore's inscriptions spread throughout the street like a strong wind.Following the madness of women caused by the cosmetics shop on Taohua Street, there was a wave of crazy students on Guozijian Street.

Countless scholars poured into the bookstore in an endless stream, scrambling to buy them.

Even the people in the Guozijian got the news and stopped classes for half a day to buy problem sets for the students.

The wave caused by the test set suppressed the light of the desk lamp at first.In the evening, Fan Ming and others who had bought a table lamp came out of the excitement of the test set and finally remembered this lighting wonder.

In the pitch-black night, when the switch was pressed, white light poured out, and the room that could not be seen was as bright as day.

This effect, this picture, is far more shocking than the soft light when the daylight is turned on.

Under the light, the text on the book appeared clearly.When I read a book with both eyes, I don't feel the sourness and discomfort of the dim light of candles in the past.

After using it, Fan Ming was amazed. The speed and content of reading books were twice as fast as before.

This thing is really an artifact for reading at night, a good treasure for students to study at night!

After using the precious desk lamp and experiencing the benefits and convenience it brings, Fan Ming never wants to go back to the old days of using candles.

The next day, with excitement, Fan Ming went to the school with a desk lamp to greet his classmates.After listening to his description, the hearts of all the students beat rapidly.

This group of people who had gone crazy once again flocked to the bookstore again, squeezed into the flow of people buying test sets, and snapped up desk lamps one after another.

Those who bought the test set saw their madness, and immediately knew that the thing called "desk lamp" was no less precious than the test set, so they joined the rush to buy it.

At night, Jia Rong took out four desk lamps and turned them on happily, one in the southeast, one in the northwest, and placed them on the desk where Shen Ruoxu was studying.

Looking at the brightly lit room in an instant, Jia Rong was very satisfied.Finally, I can replace those unsightly and not very bright candles!

He gave Shen Ruoxu a loud kiss on the face, immediately blew out the candles in the room, ran to the bed and lay down in two or three steps, staring sideways at Shen Ruoxu's side face to admire.

Jia Rong's gaze has a strong sense of presence, and it is difficult for Shen Ruoxu to ignore it.With him looking at him like this, he couldn't do the questions at all.

Helpless, Shen Ruoxu looked up at him. "Either come and do the questions together, or you can close your eyes and rest."

"No." Jia Rong refused. "I just want to watch you."

He is not the master personality, so he doesn't do those dry and tasteless things to look back at the horror of the college entrance examination year.

"You really want to do that?" Shen Ruoxu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes!" Jia Rong said the answer without even thinking about it, without feeling the danger approaching at all.

"Okay." Shen Ruoxu nodded, and immediately turned off the light and climbed onto the bed. "Then let's sleep together."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ruoxu leaned over and sealed Jia Rong's lips.

Today the queen found out that she was three months pregnant. The emperor was overjoyed and allowed her to summon her mother at any time before she became pregnant.

After the emperor's words fell, envy flashed in the eyes of many concubines.Empress Xiande, after seeing their desire, asked the emperor for a favor, hoping that the emperor would allow other concubines to summon their birth mother tomorrow.

The emperor was delighted to have an heir born to the empress, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered that concubines above the concubine level be allowed to summon their mothers to the palace tomorrow.

The next day, all the women who were called into the palace took out the newly bought cosmetics, put on makeup, and dressed up to see their daughters.

The emperor had been on the throne for several years. At this time, there were only six concubines in the palace, including the empress.

The birth mothers of the five concubines rushed into the palace at Sishi at the same time, so they all ran into each other in front of the palace gate.The five women looked at the makeup on their faces, and finally concentrated on the woman with the most perfect makeup.

"Mrs. Wu's makeup today looks like it was done by a makeup artist from a cosmetics shop. It's so beautiful!"

"Your mother-in-law must be shocked when she sees your young and radiant appearance now, and she may not even dare to recognize you."

"It's not in vain to hear your words. I went to the shop before dawn and waited for the door to open."

"Oh, I knew I would have gone too. The maids at home are not yet proficient in makeup, and the makeup is not good enough. Compared with your makeup, Sister Wu, I feel that I am seven or eight years older than you."

"Yes, yes! Those female make-up artists are still very skilled. I tried it on the first opening day, and the result was not only ten years younger, but also three points more beautiful than when I was younger. That day I took When I came home with that makeup, the one in my house, I almost stared out when I knew it was me."

"Fortunately, the cosmetics store offers makeup courses at the end of each month, and the tuition fee of one tael a year is also cheap. Then I will definitely send a few maids to learn the skills. The makeup masters in the cosmetics store have turned decay into magic. I don't expect them to exceed, as long as I can learn half the cost of others, I will be satisfied."

Several middle-aged women discussed as they walked.

The concubine, who is not worthy of one rank, is sullen because she is not qualified to summon her natal family, so she goes out to enjoy the flowers and relax. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came out, she ran into a group of them talking and laughing, and she became more and more annoyed.

All five of them were the biological mothers of high-ranking concubines, and the concubines were angry when they were angry, but they didn't have the guts to trouble them.

The concubine wanted to trick them into giving her a salute and leave, but when the middle-aged women looked up and saw their beautiful and unique makeup, she couldn't move her eyes away.

"The makeup of the ladies today is really novel, is it the new popular female makeup outside the palace?" The concubine immediately changed into a surprised face, and asked: "Just now, I heard you discussing some cosmetics from a distance. ? Could it have something to do with the current makeup?"

Mrs. Wu said: "It's a new cosmetics shop outside the palace. It sells a variety of cosmetics, which are easy to use and have miraculous effects. The makeup skills are good enough to turn a woman in her 30s into a 15-year-old woman." Young girls are welcome."

"It's really so amazing? But why doesn't it appear in the palace? Does the owner of the shop despise the imperial power too much, and such a good thing doesn't go into the palace? He really deserves to die!" The concubine said angrily.

The fifth wife had been warned by her husband that any shop with the word "Jinjiang" was the emperor's private property.It's just that the emperor didn't want people to know about it, so he kept pretending that the shop was not his own, and every time he opened a new shop, he sent people to the shop to purchase goods and bring them into the palace.

The cosmetics they mentioned just now are expected to be purchased by someone tomorrow and brought into the palace. Unexpectedly, this stupid concubine dared to curse the emperor to death!

Immediately, the five of them looked at the concubine with a deadly look.

However, the concubine didn't notice it, and she kept cursing at the owner of the cosmetics shop for not knowing what was good or bad.

At this time, a bright yellow figure came out from the corner of the path beside the concubine, with two clusters of flames burning in his eyes.

The five women's hearts tightened, and they were about to kneel down to salute, when they heard the emperor's voice like icy ice: "Come here! Take Han Yunu back and be imprisoned for 50 years!" Dare to curse the gods, it is simply suicidal !

What's the difference between being banned for 50 years and being thrown into the cold palace?

The concubine's mind was blank, as if struck by lightning!

When she realized that she wanted to beg the emperor to take back her order, the emperor had already thrown his sleeves angrily, strode away, and could not see his back.

Full of anger, he returned to the study, and the emperor poured a few cups of tea to extinguish the flames in his stomach.

He looked at the eunuch in charge who was standing still, and ordered: "In the afternoon, you let the person in charge of purchasing in the palace leave the palace, and go to the Jinjiang cosmetics store to buy a batch of cosmetics and bring them into the palace."

"In addition, I heard that Jinjiang Commercial Bank also opened a bookstore on Guozijian Street, selling test papers, some for students at various stages of the imperial examination, and some for young children who have just entered school. Ask them to buy makeup After taking the test, go to Guozijian Street to buy the test set, remember to buy everything."

At the end of the speech, the emperor emphasized one sentence.

Ever since he watched the content of palace fights in "Legend of the Wang Family", the emperor recognized another fierce side of the women in the harem, and he suffered from a slight phobia of palace concubines.Recently, I only go to the Queen's Palace to rest every day, avoiding other concubines.

Seeing the emperor not coming to sleep in their own palace for a long time, the concubines were jealous of the empress, and at the same time resorted to all kinds of tricks to win the emperor's favor, which annoyed the emperor.

The emperor thought that the group of them had so much energy because they were too idle, and they changed their ways to trouble him every day.

Knowing that the Jinjiang Bookstore sells test question sets, the emperor originally planned to buy the children's version and come back to give the princes and princesses in the palace a test.

However, the little concubine who had just cursed the gods made the emperor change his mind.

He was going to prepare a set of test questions for the concubines in the harem. He would select some from the test questions of the college test, the town test, and the public test, and let them gather for a test every ten days.

If the grades do not meet the "good" standard, they are not qualified to serve as bed servants.After reaching the standard, only the top three are eligible.

Of course, although the concubines are all literate, the one with the best knowledge, among the serious imperial examination books, is good if he has read two of the Four Books and Five Classics.If they want to get a "good" grade, even if they are like the students who study hard in the cold window, they study day and night, and it doesn't take a few years to achieve success.

The emperor even thought about the reason for organizing the imperial concubine examination. Except for the queen, he didn't like women who were not well educated.

Thinking about the scene of them being drowned in books and howling, the emperor felt a little excited and couldn't help grinning.

The chief eunuch raised his head secretly, and caught a glimpse of the emperor grinning silly, with a row of ellipsis flying over his head.

"By the way, there is also the eat-up self-lighting lamp made by the master of Kunlun Xianshan. Buy more. My eyes are too tired to light candles at night and read memorials."

In order not to expose their identities, a group of celestial immortals actually fabricated a mortal expert. Presumably, those little immortals took great pains to convince the proud Ninth Princess to agree.
