On the east side of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a business school established by Xiangye Wang Jingtian for the sons and daughters of the mansion, relatives and the primary apprentices of the Xiangye Mansion, and it is an honor to be able to enter the business school.

After Liu Fusu entered the school, he listened carefully to the master's lectures every day. She was self-acquainted and became good friends with most of her apprentices. However, some people can't see the woman show up, and often take the opportunity to catch Liu Fusu and tease her.

"Fusu, the master told you to serve tea." A tall and childish boy said to Liu Fusu that he was Wang Erxun, the son of Zheng Xuemei, the second wife of Xiangye Wang Jingtian, although he was the son of a concubine, his status was not low in the house, and no one could look down on him casually. Liu Fusu believed it was true and ran out, but was locked in the tea room by Wang Erxun. As a result, the master took a roll call in class, and Liu Fusu was absent. The master thought she had skipped class, so he punished Liu Fusu for standing outside the door of the school for a stick of incense.

Liu Fusu stood outside the door, his heart was very angry, his lips pursed, and he looked angry. In the academy, the words of the master are supreme, and even the prince Wang Jiaer can't intercede for Liu Fusu, so he can only look dryly.

After getting out of the school, Liu Fusu shouted to the trouble-making Wang Erxun, "Second Young Master, why did you punish me by the master?" What's the intention? Wang Erxun thought about it and left, but was pulled by the prince Wang Jiaer. Wang Erxun saw that it was Wang Jiaer, the prince of the world, so he became honest, "Brother Shizi, I just thought that the master wanted to drink tea, so I asked Miss Fusu to serve tea, but I don't know why she went for so long and didn't come back." ”

The prince Wang Jiaer's eyes showed coldness, and he only asked: "Is that so?" Wang Erxun's eyes dodged for a moment, and then he stopped talking. After that, if you dare to be disrespectful to Fusu again, this son will report to your father, and you don't have to stay in the academy. Get out of here! The prince of the world, Jia'er, said to him coldly. Wang Erxun went out and went back to find his mother Zheng Xuemei.

Liu Fusu smiled, "Thank you, Brother Shizi!" Wang Jia'er only smiled gently at Liu Fusu, "Sister Fusu is polite, if you encounter anything, just come to this son." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, it was time for morning class. The old master came to teach, and as soon as he picked up his teapot, it cracked, and the hot tea burned his hands. "Who touched the old man's teapot and stood up for me!" The old master shouted angrily. The apprentices below didn't dare to make a sound, Liu Fusu stood up with a smile and replied, "Master, today is the second young master king and looking for a turn, and he should be serving tea!" ”

When the second young master Wang Erxun heard this, his face turned pale in an instant, and his legs trembled and stood up, "Husband, master, I served tea, but it was obviously good, why did it break down?" The old master stared dryly, so angry that his beard straightened, "Go out and receive the punishment, and beat the ruler thirty feet!" ”

The second young master, Wang Erxun, hurriedly begged for mercy, "Master, wronged, it's really not me!" The old master did not relent, and beat him with a long ring ruler, and the king let out a terrible cry and begged for mercy. The apprentice, who was usually bullied and oppressed by Wang Erxun, felt a sigh of relief when he saw him being punished, and applauded again and again.

"Master, Master, I remember. It was probably because the north wind was too strong when the door was opened, and it was blown to the ground, so it was picked up. It's probably bad in the early morning, so let's spare the second young master. Liu Fusu stood in front of the master with a slight smile, and the second young master looked at Liu Fusu in surprise, why did he intercede for him?

The old master had already cared for Liu Fusu, and it was reasonable to hear her say this, so he only warned the king and looked for it. After getting out of the school and waiting for everyone to leave, Wang Erxun called out to Liu Fusu, "Thank you Miss Fusu, Miss Fusu has a lot of them, regardless of previous suspicions." Liu Fusu just smiled and followed her brother Liu Fuqing back to Nanyuan.

The second young master, Wang Erxun, is a concubine, and although his mother is the second lady, she is just a concubine. On weekdays, he doesn't care about his father Wang Jingtian, and there are few people in the house who treat him sincerely. Today, Liu Fusu's trip touched him.

Back in the courtyard of Nanyuan, Liu Fuqing stopped and asked curiously, "Fusu, to be honest, is it a ghost that you did?" Liu Fusu pretended to make a cute grimace, "Well, who called that second young master Wang and Xun always go against me, instead of letting him play endlessly, it is better to show him grace once, so that he will not be my enemy again if he is ashamed." Liu Fuqing looked at this sister approvingly, "That brother is also relieved." ”

One day, the old master came up with a question specifically to test the new apprentice: "How to sell the wooden combs produced by our Xiangfu grocery store to the monks?" It is limited to five days, at which time each apprentice is required to report the amount sold to the steward. ”

As soon as the old master finished speaking, there was an uproar in the school, and Yuan San, the entourage of the prince Wang Jia'er, said excitedly, "This is an impossible thing?" The other apprentices also expressed their embarrassment.

The master habitually stroked his beard, smiled and said, "Five days!" "Turn around and leave the school. Liu Fusu was thoughtful, frowning all day, and laughed after a while.

The eldest brother Liu Fuqing looked at his sister like this, and secretly became anxious. This question was much more difficult than the test he had taken before, and he accompanied his sister to watch the Xinyi flowers bloom in Nanyuan.

"Brother, let's go to Nanhua Temple to offer incense!" Liu Fusu pulled his brother's sleeve and begged. Liu Fuqing looked at her sister dotingly, "Fusu, tomorrow I will report to the son and my father and mother to travel, now it is the beginning of spring, the beginning of spring forest, ten miles of spring breeze, good time, is a good time to travel." You go back to the boudoir and get ready. ”

Liu Fusu held his mouth and said aggrievedly, "Brother, I just went to Nanhua Temple to see the situation, not for travel." Fuqing responded with one word, "good".

When the lights of the Prime Minister's Mansion were lit, it was the time when the prince Wang Jiaer was reading at night, Liu Fuqing had already done his evening homework as a companion, and Yuan San was grinding on the left side of the prince Wang Jiaer. Liu Fuqing went up to bow down, "Lord Shizi, tomorrow's weather is very good, it is a good time to travel, my sister Fusu wants to go to Nanhua Temple outside the city to find the answer because of the master's problem, Fuqing asked the prince to agree." ”

Wang Jia'er, the prince of the world, smiled slightly, stepped forward to help Fu Qing Dao, "You and I are like brothers, why do you need to be so polite." In this case, then the son of this world will walk with your brother and sister in order to relieve the worries of Fusu's sister. ”

"Xie Shizi, my father asked me to abide by my duty, and there is a difference between the noble and the lowly between the son and the servant after all." Fuqing wanted to say more, but was stopped by Shizi, he stood in the white moonlight with his hands behind his back, his figure was much longer, and it looked deeper.

The incense of Nanhua Temple outside the city is prosperous, and the pilgrims are endless. Nanhua Temple faces the river of Qingcheng, backed by Xiangling, the peaks are beautiful, and the ancient trees are lush. The temple is built on the mountain, and there is a Jiulong Spring in the temple, the spring water flows all year round, clear and cold. On the right side of the pond there are nine water pines, which are evergreen and undefeated.

The carriage of the prince and his entourage arrived, first the prince jumped out of the carriage, Fuqing and Yuan San followed, and the carriage behind was the carriage with light yarn hanging on Fusu's carriage, and Fusu got off the carriage with the support of the maidservant. "Shizi Jin'an." Fusu and the maidservant Rujin gently bowed forward, and the prince smiled, "Sister Fusu doesn't have to be polite, if you are not in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, you can call me Brother Jiaer, okay?" Moreover, Fusu has a lively personality and does not have to be formal. Fusu winked playfully with everyone.

Fusu and his entourage reverently offered incense to the Buddha. Seeing that the pilgrims all sincerely donated a little of their hearts after offering incense, the temple host also responded reverently, "Great blessings to the donor." "But what's missing? Fusu suddenly thought about it and said to everyone, "I know how I can complete my master's task!" ”

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, Fusu went forward to salute the host and asked the host, "How is the host, how many pilgrims do you have in your temple in a day?" The presiding monk replied: "My temple has a long reputation, the incense is vigorous, every day from morning to evening pilgrims are endless, superior to the first and fifteenth day of the new year, you have a Buddha in your heart, and the Buddha's heart has you." ”

Fusu also said: "But all those who enter the incense pilgrimage have a pious heart, and the treasure temple should be given back to commemorate it, keep it safe, encourage a variety of good causes, and do more good deeds." The host replied thoughtfully, "What the donor said is reasonable, how to give it back?" ”

Shizi and Fuqing looked at Fusu with a serious face in confusion, and Fusu continued, "I have a batch of wooden combs, and the calligraphy of the host is outstanding, so you can first engrave the three words "Jishan comb" on the wooden comb, and then make a gift. The pilgrims will surely come with joy and return with joy. The host was overjoyed, and immediately bought 1,000 handfuls, and invited Fusu to give them the first "Jishan comb".

The pilgrims were glad to get the comb, and the next day there were more pilgrims. The host sent two young monks to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Liu Fusu, hoping that Liu Fusu could sell more wooden combs to Nanhua Temple to give more blessings to the donors and pilgrims.

"Brother Fuqing, Brother Jiaer, I'm done, I must have passed the master's test this time." Liu Fusu excitedly ran to Shizi's study. Wang Jiaer, the prince of the world, immediately jumped up, and when he saw Liu Fusu coming in, he suppressed his emotions again, and he still couldn't help but say, "Sister Fusu is talented and intelligent, and the eyes of this prince are very vicious." Fuqing was so happy that he was busy greeting his sister.

When the deadline for the last day came, the master asked Du Zhong, the son of the Lang family, the historian of the court, "How many have Du Lang sold?" Du Zhong replied: "A handful!" Then he recounted the hardships he had endured, as well as the scolding and beating he was beaten by the monks. Fortunately, on the way down the mountain, I met a little monk who was basking in the sun and scratching his scalp vigorously. Du Zhong was inspired to hurriedly hand over the wooden comb, and the little monk was full of joy after using it, so he bought only one handful.

Li Congjun, the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, Li Congjun replied, "I sold ten handfuls" After passing by, he went to an ancient mountain temple, and because the mountain was high and windy, the hair of the incense worshippers was messy. So he found the host and said that unkempt hair is disrespectful to the Buddha, and a wooden comb should be placed in front of the incense table in the temple for good men and women to comb their sideburns. So the host bought 10 combs from him.

The apprentice in the back didn't understand anything, the second understood but he was pretending, and finally asked. Liu Fusu stood up and gently told the story of the incident, development, and then sold 2,500 units, and there were orders one after another. Xiangye Wang Jingtian stood at the back of the school, touched his beard, smiled and nodded, turned to Liu Zongnan and said, "Zongnan is so blessed!" Fusu was so proficient at a young age. It's a pity that it's a woman. Liu Zongnan was stunned, and smiled with relief in an instant.
