"My father also thinks it's strange, there are a lot of people who win the lift this time, your brother's grades are very average on weekdays, it is said that the test is still luck, how can he be lifted all of a sudden?" Jiang Yining chuckled: "My father, I just worried about it, I went to read a lot of people's papers, and I gave up when I found that there were no grading errors." ”

Shen Qingwan squinted her eyes and said casually, "Jiang Shangshu still doesn't know?" ”

Jiang Yining sat up straight: "What do you know?" ”

Yi Rongrong looked at Shen Qingwan, I don't know which one she mentioned?

"This time, many of the test questions have been guessed, it is said that there are a few people in the capital who sell guessing test papers, and the guessing rate is particularly high, before the exam, my sister can collect a lot of papers for the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Shen Qingwan said in a low voice.

Jiang Yining's eyes widened, feeling that this was incredible: "Guessed right? Really? ”

Guessing the test paper is a major feature before the exam, there are too many people doing this, and it is also a mock test paper, and the official family will not care.

But after so many years, I haven't seen anyone who can really guess it, at most they can take sides, or guess the meaning of neutral questions.

Now listening to Shen Qingwan's words, it doesn't seem so simple?

Jiang Yining didn't believe these because he never paid attention to them, and he didn't believe that anyone could really guess the exam questions, even if it was just something similar.

If there is only one question once in a while, the imperial examination is held once every three years, and there will always be a time when you will be blindfolded after taking too many exams.

But they were all guessed, what kind of concept is that?

Yi Rongrong enjoyed the food and nodded: "This, I also heard about it, my brother also bought the test papers of those people and came back to take a look, it is true, although it is scattered, but almost all of them have been guessed, and at most the characters and expressions in it are different, but they are indeed guessed." ”

"Really? Those people still sell exam papers? Jiang Yining was a little surprised, is there really such a god?

"It's still selling, why don't you sell it if you have money to make? After the exam, the business broke out once, which is really rare. Yi Rongrong's tone was quite admirable.

Jiang Yining immediately asked for the address and asked the maid to buy it.

"Fifty taels a lot? So expensive? Jiang Yining was surprised, there are several sets of each subject, and it really costs a lot of money to buy all the subjects.

Hearing this, Shen Qing paused in his late movements, these are the materials for doing business!

"Before the exam, it was twenty-two, probably because after the exam, I knew that I guessed it, but it was a strange thing." Yi Rongrong explained, so she admired it.

Shen Qingwan secretly raised her eyebrows, it seems that there is still a lot of income this time.

Shen Qingwan didn't expect that these people would take care of her business in order to confirm it with their own eyes, so she could only say that human curiosity is really different.

Of course, the one who originally bought the exam papers was also a strange thing, and if she didn't take them out, she would make others curious and could only buy them, and she didn't have to make money constantly, which was really embarrassing.

Jiang Yining didn't see the roll and didn't comment on it, and the three of them talked about other things.

After chatting for a while, I felt comfortable, and then I dispersed back home.

Shen Qing returned to Jingqiuxuan in the evening, but his brows did not stretch, the war on the east, west and north sides will start, and this will last for several years.

The south is close to the sea, and now there is a great disaster, although there is no war, but it is also a big place to spend money.

Although the king of Chu solved the silver problem by himself, the other three sides could also drag down the treasury.

At this time, there will be a big flood, and there will be no harvest in the south, and the people will rely on relief in the coming year, so don't expect any taxes.

Therefore, it is understandable that the emperor should have a headache now, and he will be so angry that his condition will worsen.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Mu Tao happily greeted me: "Miss, the clothes of the Splendid Pavilion have arrived, and the workmanship and quality are not bad." ”

Shen Qingwan watched Mu Tao shake out one by one, and folded and put it away one by one, and was happier than her: "The Splendid Pavilion is newly opened, so naturally there are discounts, if you like it, you can make two sets of clothes, and Xunhan Amu, Mama Xu and Mama Ye will do it, and the account will be on me." ”

"Come on, these are all worn by the young lady, and it doesn't fit for us to wear them." Xunhan hurriedly refused, such a fabric was too arrogant for her to wear out as a maid, and it would definitely be unpleasant to be seen by outsiders at that time.

"Jinxiulou will definitely not only make the master's clothes, otherwise there will be no need to make money in the early stage of such a discount." Shen Qingwan said funny: "Let's go and take a look, maybe there are ones you wear, and there are ones you like, after this village, there will be no such shop, and there will definitely be no discount after a while." ”

Mu Tao was not polite, and her eyes lit up: "That slave is welcome." ”

Shen Qing smiled at night: "What's polite?" You should do the same. ”

That is, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if it was in the Palace, she could be more honest.

The prime minister's house is very economical this year, and she is relatively picky about the maid's clothes and so on, and she, the master, feels sorry for her own people.

Jiang Yining showed the test paper to Jiang Shangshu, Jiang Shangshu flipped through it silently, and suddenly said a few words: "They are all talents!" ”

The exam question was guessed, and the people were not as they were, although there was a feeling of missing the question, but there was nothing bad to say.

However, in the final analysis, it was a faceless time for the imperial court.

So many people have bought these test papers to be selected in the examination, which is contrary to the selection mechanism of the imperial court, at least, many people's knowledge is not enough to be promoted, which is a loss.

It's just that this can't hold any tricks, which makes the prime minister feel a little painful.

Sighing and accepting the test papers, Jiang Shangshu didn't want to worry about the emperor because of such a thing, there are many things that can't be solved now, this kind of thing will only add to the blockage, and there is no solution.

Can people not sell guesses?

That affected the interests of many people, not to mention, but also affected the simulation effect of some candidates, which is very rare and difficult to solve.

Jiang Shangshu didn't say it, but it didn't mean that the imperial historians also turned a blind eye, they wouldn't think about so much causality, and finally found a point, and naturally began to participate.

When the emperor found out, he said a few words: "Are people guessing the question wrong?" ”

"Are you going to arrest everyone who guessed the question?"

"What crime is to be sentenced to?"

A few questions, the imperial history was completely asked, is there a mistake in guessing the question? If they dare to answer that there is a mistake, it depends on whether their butts are clean or not.

The officials in the court, when they were poor, did such things.

Although it has not been sold for twenty taels, fifty taels is so terrifying, but it has also made a fortune and let them get through a difficult time.

After all, seeing people sell so well, it's just a little jealous and sour.

If you dare to say that you want to arrest people, it will involve a wide range of people, and many students have intricate relationships behind them, and some of them are even tougher.

If you dare to arrest someone for something that can't be convicted at all, then wait for countless enemies!

Therefore, in the end, the matter could only be settled, and the emperor just made an episode and reprimanded the imperial history before giving up.

In the eyes of others, the imperial history is just looking for a draw, and he doesn't look at the current situation and situation, and he dares to participate in the performance if he catches a little bit that cannot be convicted, and he is very idle to be the emperor!

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, this day seems to pass quickly.

The rice is finally harvested, if the green corn is raised well, it will mature later than the average rice, and the two owners have been rewarded because they have returned to Shen Qingwan's hands, and they have been very dedicated in the end, and the harvest is relatively good.

Leave some for yourself to taste, and the farmer is ready to sell the grain.

Shen Qingwan asked people to spread the word to wait for a while and store it first.

On the contrary, the fruits ripened in autumn in Zhuangzi sold well, and each Zhuangzi directly earned more than 2,000 taels.

Shen Qingwan laughed when she found out, no wonder Aunt Yu held on to Zhuangzi, there are really few Zhuangzi who make so much money near the capital.

The Zhuangzi that the Gu family chose for Gu Yangxi to marry was naturally extraordinary, otherwise there would not have been only two Zhuangzi.

At that time, it was also to be not eye-catching, so I controlled the quantity and won by quality.

Shen Qing took the time to check the two Zhuangzi in the evening, and invited the owner of the village to invite Yuege to dinner: "After the autumn harvest, rent out all the fields!" ”

The two owners were startled and looked at each other a little strangely.

Shen Qingwan had already made such a decision, and there was some doubt in his tone: "It is almost the same to hire short-term workers every year, leaving only the number of slave households that can be cultivated, and the rest of the people who are willing to rent will rent out, and collect rent every year, in this way, you can be more relaxed." ”

It is indeed not easy to manage such a large field, and slave households can work, so isn't it a joke to let them manage it?

Therefore, the two owners work day and night, and if there is something to do, they have to invite nearby migrant workers, which is not easy.

"If you rent a rent, we can't break the rules of the industry as much as others collect." The corners of Shen Qingwan's mouth hooked: "Now you are still in charge of winemaking, renting out the fields, just collecting rent, otherwise you will definitely not be busy." ”

"If you don't have enough people, you can buy some."

"If you still have time, feed some poultry yourself, count it as your own, and don't have to enter it into the public account."

The more the two owners listened, the more surprised they became, and the more they were moved, the master wanted them to earn their own money!

Although they don't want to do the work in the fields, they can't do it all day long, especially the delicate crops, and they haven't slept peacefully since they planted the green corn and before the harvest.

If you just manage the winemaking, you will have a lot of time, and the income from feeding your own poultry is still your own? This benefit is better than when Gu Yangxi was managing it before, and it suddenly felt a little like an illusion.

Cao Dazhuang, the owner of Xiaolianzi Village, couldn't help but stutter a little: "Lord...... Master, I really want to ...... Do this? ”

Shen Qingwan chuckled: "If you talk about it, just leave a little land to plant some vegetables for yourself to eat, as well as the raw materials for winemaking, the fruit forest naturally can't be moved, and you can deal with the rest yourself." ”

Li Li, the owner of Peach Blossom Village, himself came out of the Gu family, and got up and saluted Shen Qingwan: "Thank you for your compassion." ”

"For me, collecting rent is not much worse, but I hope you will manage the sake brewing business." Shen Qingwan confessed her thoughts, not just to buy people's hearts and give benefits.

Brewing decided half of the business of the Inviting Moon Pavilion, and the money earned back was much more than the difference between collecting rent and hiring short-term workers.

After listening to the two owners report some matters, Shen Qing received a visit from Aunt Hua when she returned home in the evening.

Aunt Hua didn't say anything after entering the house, and directly gave Shen Qing 50,000 taels of silver tickets, a thick stack, which looked particularly comfortable.

Shen Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and picked up the silver ticket in surprise and looked at it: "What is this?" ”

Recently, the silver tickets she received were all in the tens of thousands, and she had never felt that the silver was so easy to earn.

Even if she gave the part of selling exam questions to King Chu, her net worth was also a lot richer.

"Do you remember the rouge shop you talked about last time?" Aunt Hua suddenly mentioned the original transaction.

Shen Qingwan nodded: "It's been two months, even if the dividends are not so much!" So what does business look like? ”

Her most profitable shop makes a net profit of 15,000 taels a year, and a rouge shop has 50,000 taels in two months alone? It's impossible to calculate.

"The two-month part is five thousand taels, and the other shops have a monthly account, and the extra one is the Hua family's gratitude to the young lady." Aunt Hua said it very clearly.

"Others? What others? Shen Qingwan felt inexplicable, and once again felt that the Hua family was looking for various names to send her money, and it was a little unreliable not to earn it herself.

Five thousand taels in two months? Is the rouge shop so profitable? Are you sure you didn't count all of your earnings for two months to her?

Aunt Hua smiled bitterly, this girl is really not easy to fool, and she has to ask clearly: "Last time Concubine Shu's batch of industrial shops, my father said that he would also give you a share." ”

Shen Qingwan couldn't cry or laugh: "The head of the Hua family is too polite, I really don't need it." Also, what's the thanks? ”

Aunt Hua said with some trepidation: "Miss mentioned that Bao Fu's person, my second brother went to check, and sure enough, it has something to do with the Ji family, the sworn enemy of the Hua family. In addition, the second brother quietly made more friends, but Bao Fu was in a hurry, spending the family's money and making various requests. ”

"As Miss said, Bao Fu began to dabble in Qinglou and gambling houses, which are the property of the Ji family, the second brother completely broke off contact on the grounds that he was not enterprising, not like a scholar, and this person was dumbfounded and was like a dog skin plaster pasted up, and he couldn't get rid of it."

Shen Qingwan listened with interest: "Since it is an opponent, the other party must have a plan, and if this plan fails, there must be a plan, you should be careful." ”

"After this time, my father and my two elder brothers will definitely be careful, and besides, the people who are also the prince of Chu in Wuzhou saved my eldest brother's life, my father feels that there is nothing to repay, and the Hua family has a little silver, so Miss don't refuse." Aunt Hua said that she was afraid, there was actually a powerful killer to kill the eldest brother? If it weren't for the fact that the person with the King of Chu happened to be there at that time, her eldest brother would definitely not be there.

Shen Qing took a sip of tea in the evening, which was naturally not a coincidence.

After the rain in Wuzhou stopped, her correspondence with the king of Chu became frequent again, and sometimes she would nag and narrate if she didn't know what to say, and the grievances between the Hua family and the Ji family were also mentioned.

Shen Qingwan deliberately said that Hua Lao Er was calculated, and also expressed her concern that Hua Lao Boss would not be let go.

Now that things are starting to go well, Ah Feng brought a lot of people to the King of Chu, and someone in the hands of the King of Chu sent a master to contact the boss of Hua, naturally he also had the meaning of protecting with him, and he easily made the Hua family owe a favor.

In her previous life, she was almost around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Boss Hua died in vain, but Aunt Hua was hit hard, and she was locked in the yard by herself, no longer competing with other women for favor, and slowly disappeared in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"The person was saved by the prince, but the silver you thanked me for, this is unreasonable!" Shen Qingwan still felt that this silver was a little hot.

"The prince's pen, the Hua family will not be less, this is Miss's, my second brother's life, is it worth this?" Aunt Hua didn't think so, the eldest brother was in distress, the second brother was calculated, if the Hua family was not vigilant in advance, it would obviously not end well.

Aunt Hua didn't dare to think much about what the result would be, the two heirs were gone, and the Hua family would definitely collapse.

The Ji family really deserves to be the start of the Qinglou gambling house, and this method is ruthless enough.

"I really have no reason to say no." Shen Qingwan was helpless, could she still say that the second young master of the Hua family was not worth the fifty thousand taels?

"However, forget about the good rouge shop, don't count the other shops as my part, it's just a line, and you can't sit back and enjoy it like this." Shen Qingwan didn't say much, she didn't want to take it if she shouldn't have her.

The days will soon come to the Double Ninth Festival, otherwise the worst news is enough, and there will be good news slowly.

For example, the king of Chu copied the home of a wealthy merchant, and the silver in his hand was enough for disaster relief in all nearby prefectures and counties.

In this way, the remaining silver in the treasury could be immediately invested in the military, and the emperor instantly felt a lot more comfortable.

The generals and soldiers on the border were also relieved, and finally they had their salaries, and they were already in tears when they thought about it.

The emperor suddenly felt that the king of Chu knew how to be flexible, and he was very worry-free.

The treasury finally eased, the emperor naturally rained and the sky was clear, and although the battles on the border were more frequent, those generals managed to hold on.

After all, it is a small-scale contact, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you come and go, and there has been a stalemate.

The emperor freed his hand, and finally thought of the meritorious work when he was in the palace, and the king of Chu was reassuring, so he was happy and gave Shen Qingwan a lot of things, and a group of people in the Xiangfu were hot.

There is also Gu Ci, who was suddenly summoned by the emperor, which caught many people off guard.

At that time, the emperor was rescued, everyone knows, but who saved him? Even the concubine who went to pick up people didn't know.

With such a summons, everyone understands everything.

The Gu family's house has been empty, so the emperor returned it to Gu Ci, and was ready to reward Gu Ci with a fourth-grade military attaché, but Gu Ci did not accept it.

At this time, many people can't understand it, how big is Gu Ci? Can you be a fourth-grade military attaché? Looking at the emperor like this, he knows that the merit is not enough to save the driver, and with the guilt of the Gu family, Gu Ci's future will definitely not be weak.

The wealthy families with unmarried daughters of the right age in the family immediately looked at the fat like hungry wolves, and they all took a fancy to Gu Ci's potential.

There are no in-laws, no concubines, no other children and children, the only cousin is the future concubine of the King of Chu, and the military attache to whom the emperor wants to be sealed still has real power.

Where can I find such a perfect family background? Although the current official status is a little lower, the future is too brilliant, the most important thing is to marry in the past and worry-free, if you don't start now, I'm afraid that you won't be able to climb in the future!

Although Gu Ci has not yet agreed to that official position, who would be stupid enough to refuse something that is certain?

Therefore, overnight, Gu Ci's market was too good in the capital.

But Gu Ci disappeared again after facing the saint, and the Gu family's house was just sent to take care of it, and they didn't go back at all.

Countless people with ideas were stunned, and finally turned around and sounded to Shen Qingwan.

There is no way, there is only one cousin left in the Gu family, and the others who want to pull the relationship can't be pulled.

As soon as they heard that Gu Ci had saved the emperor and directly confronted the holy official, Shen Cheng and the old lady were so frightened that they couldn't do it, could it be that the Gu family was going to rise again?

I was panicked in my heart, where did I dare to make decisions for Gu Ci? As long as he asked about the Prime Minister's Mansion, he pushed it to Shen Qingwan, which made Shen Qingwan's number of visitors increase sharply recently.
