Chapter 68
In a few days, it will be the township exam, and the officials who came to take the exam don't know who it is, but for Mu Qing, he is not afraid.
At the beginning, I was dedicated to studying the preferences of the examiner, in order to be a blockbuster, but also because my own scriptures and meanings were not solid, so I could only work these side doors. Now that Mu Qing is long gone, he doesn't have so many worries.
The registration for the township test started early, and Mu Qing still entrusted the money master book as his guarantor this time. The life of the Qian master book in the government office is now better than before, and he looks a lot fatter than before, thinking that his life is very comfortable, he is naturally happy to be Mu Qing's guarantor, and he wrote a letter directly, and Mu Qing left a seal on the name book.
Mu Qing has long been closed now, and when he has nothing to do, he will go next door to enhance his relationship with Li Qianyu. He also saw that this person was clearly coming to Guizhou to hide and not prepare to leave, and he didn't know if it was enough to make a leisurely appearance that was confusing, Mu Qing didn't think much about it, but he could see that this person was afraid that he wouldn't leave for a while.
I thought that in a few days, I would simply open a door on the courtyard wall between the two courtyards, and it would be convenient to walk.
On this day, I went to Li Qianyu's side to play poker all morning, and Mu Qing lost all the silver on his body. When he came back from crying and mourning, he happened to see Deng Yuanshan, who was standing at his door.
Mu Qing has rarely seen this person recently, but now when he sees it, he laughs, and greets him and says, "Mr. Deng, even if you come, you can go in." ”
Deng Yuanshan arched his hand towards Mu Qing, and then followed him into the door.
Due to the hot weather, Mu Qing planted a grape trellis in the yard, and now the vines on it have grown green, and it is very cool to stay below. There is a stone table and a stone bench below, and a rocking chair made of bamboo, Mu Qing and Deng Yuanshan are used to knowing each other, and they are not so restrained in front of him, so they directly took a big pu fan and lay on their backs in the chair, shaking the fan.
Deng Yuanshan sat on the stone bench next to him, looking at Mu Qing's appearance and feeling funny: "You are very relaxed now, and it will be the township test in a few days, you have to prepare well." ”
Mu Qing smiled when he heard this: "I will live up to Mr. Deng's expectations, and ask Mr. Deng to prepare red envelopes." ”
Deng Yuanshan knew what kind of virtue he was, and he said it with a philistine, but he could also hear the confidence in it. Deng Yuanshan nodded, looking like "don't worry about you".
"How is Mr. Meng? If I can't make it, I can ask someone to make it easier. ”
Who knows, Deng Yuanshan shook his head when he heard this: "Meng Yan said that he didn't want to participate, and he didn't plan to participate in the future." ”
This was strange, Mu Qing was surprised: "Why? ”
Deng Yuanshan shrugged: "I don't know, but looking at his appearance, he is indeed very resolute." ”
Mu Qing frowned slightly.
Meng Yan has the unique demeanor of a scholar, and his every move is decent. Mu Qing never looked down on him because he was once in a lowly position, and treated him with great respect.
But no matter how much that person hides it, he can't hide that kind of desire, if he has no desire and no desire, it is better to go into hiding after leaving the country, and there is no need to see the sky. It's just that his thirst seems to be different from ordinary people.
As an extremely material Deng Yuanshan, he couldn't understand Meng Yan's thoughts, in his opinion, being an official was much more comfortable than being a common man. If you have money to take and be famous, if you make a meritorious service in the future, you can also bless future generations, which is a good thing that you can't ask for.
But Mu Qing can see some doorways.
Everyone wants something, some seek wealth, some seek sex, and some seek power, but Meng Yan doesn't seem to like them. The only thing he is obsessed with is Wenqing Daily, and he has almost all his experience on this. He is very careful to take care of a qiē thing, but he has never participated in the things of making money from above, those advertising things have always been handled by Deng Yuanshan, and Mu Qing has been a handshaker all year round to eat dividends.
Speaking of which, Wenqing Daily is not good for Meng Yan. First, there is no money to make, and secondly, there is no fame, and ordinary people will never come to do such thankless things. Meng Yan is not a fool, if he didn't ask for it, he would never be like this.
But what he wanted, Mu Qing didn't know, so he didn't think much about it.
Left and right Meng Yan is doing things for him now, and nothing is wrong, and he always doubts people's motives, which is a little unfounded.
Putting this matter down and not thinking about it anymore, Mu Qing smiled and said, "If you don't have anything to do, you won't go to the Three Treasures Palace, is Mr. Deng here to send me money?" ”
"It's not the end of the month yet, and you're as beautiful as you think." Deng Yuanshan snorted twice, but he poured another sip of herbal tea and said, "You don't want to go to the library these days, I have some things to deal with." ”
Mu Qing blinked: "What's the matter?" ”
Deng Yuanshan didn't hide it from him, and he couldn't hide it from people if this matter was going to come out sooner or later, so he just said it now: "Wenqing Daily has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and it has actually robbed many people's business. ”
"I remember that we were the only newspaper in Guizhou City." Mu Qing was a little strange.
Meng Yan nodded: "We are the only newspaper house, but there are many shops. Every year, the merchants who advertise on the top of the Wenqing Daily come back at the beginning of the year to register and make a register, and we divide the columns of the newspaper advertisements every year, and whoever has the highest price will put it in the big one, and the one with less money will be placed in the small one, and if it is not able to pay it, it will not be published. ”
Mu Qing nodded: "That's good." ”
"But those businesses that weren't listed were a little jealous and wanted to discuss with us about reformatting. But the original agreement could not be changed here, so I refused, who knew that this would cause trouble. ”
Mu Qing frowned when he heard this, and vaguely guessed: "But someone is here to make trouble?" ”
Deng Yuanshan's expression was faint, and he nodded nonchalantly: "There are some, and the method they use is also very simple, that is, let some hooligans and scoundrels drive away our newsboys, those children are young after all, and they are very scared when they are scared, but there are several who are unwilling to do it again." ”
Mu Qing frowned, this matter can be big or small, but it is clearly unkind. But looking at Deng Yuanshan's appearance, he obviously didn't care much, Mu Qing asked, "How is Mr. Deng going to deal with it?" ”
Deng Yuanshan smiled, with some obvious mockery. Although his status in the Deng family is not high, he has been with the old lady since he was a child, and the old lady has trained him by himself, and he has seen a lot of these tricks. Such low-level means are not enough in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that there was nothing to do now, Deng Yuanshan would not be ready to take action by himself at all.
"If it had been before, I would have gone to the people of the government and given some money to let the servants take care of them." Deng Yuanshan put his hand on the stone table and knocked slowly, "But I have nothing to do recently, and there are people in charge of the Qianzhuang Library, so I should find something to do for myself." ”
Such a casual attitude made Mu Qing feel relaxed: "Mr. Deng already has a good plan, is he willing to reveal one or two to me?" ”
Deng Yuanshan glanced at him with some disgust: "Don't keep saying these sour words, it's awkward to hear." ”
Mu Qing laughed twice, with a little simplicity in her beauty, but it was Deng Yuanshan's back that was cold.
No longer looking at him, Deng Yuanshan said slowly: "Since he is doing things with me, I won't pay attention to him." I'm going to find a few people tomorrow and carry the coffin to mourn. ”
Mu Qing was stunned: "...... What are you crying about? ”
"It's just throwing paper money, playing and singing, and I don't believe they can withstand it for a few days."
Mu Qingden was a little speechless, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. It's just sprinkled with some paper money, which neither disturbs the people nor harms the people, but it is bad luck. The cost is low but the efficiency is high, and he is worthy of being a businessman, and the tricks he comes out of are economical, cheap and insidious.
But I can't help but praise it in my heart. Unlike the literati, most of them were money-hungry and philistine. There will definitely be things that can't be planned again, so it's okay to fight enough once and be scared. If you just let the official send something to happen, I'm afraid that there will be trouble in the future.
"Mr. Deng is really insidious, and he doesn't give half a cent of decency."
Deng Yuanshan sneered, cutting off people's money is like killing parents, for a money fan, making him unable to earn money is enough for him to die with the other party: "You have to pay attention to decency with decent people, and now that people have made it clear that they have cut off my financial route, don't blame me for being vicious." ”
Mu Qing relaxed his strength and leaned back on the chair, shaking slowly: "Remember to inform me when you turn around and make trouble, I'll go and see the excitement." ”
"Tell me decent, you're clearly not a good person."
Mu Qing laughed again, simple and indifferent, and his tone was very serious: "I originally wanted to be a good person." ”
Deng Yuanshan snorted coldly, too lazy to deal with him.
Mu Qing didn't care, and continued to wander: "You have to find the guards of the library, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention that those merchants are like wolves and tigers." ”
Deng Yuanshan put aside the teacup: "That's the case, but if they really make trouble for me, don't blame me." ”
Deng Yuanshan, who is holding the Guizhou Mansion to dress up and make money, is a real local tyrant, a character who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands for rain, this time it is just a small fight, and it is okay to pinch others to death if he annoys him.
"My grandfather once said that it doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, it's a good cat if you can catch a mouse."
Mu Qing shook the fan and glanced at him: "I guess your grandfather's alias is Xiaoping." ”
Deng Yuanshan reached out and pulled a bunch of grapes, peeled the skin and stuffed it into his mouth.
It's sweet, I'll bring some back later.
The author has something to say: Mu Xiaoqing's days in Guizhou are almost over, and he is ready to let him go to the capital to hang around =v=
The capital is prosperous, and the wind is surging, and it is better to be nervous after a lot of idle days! ~
