Chapter 265: Before the Tribute Courtyard

Cao Yan looked at the road in front of him with a little darkness, and muttered: "This is really dark." ”

"Master, is this still called black?" Luo Ming looked at the glass blubber lamp that emitted that bright light, and he didn't know how to complain, no matter how much light was transmitted to those silk lanterns, they couldn't compare to the light of this transparent glass lamp.

"Yes, it's already very bright, brother, can we follow you?" An unfamiliar candidate around suddenly spoke.

At this time, many candidates came around the two of them.

Some of them had simple lanterns in their hands, others torches, and even just the light from the scattered lights on the official roadside, groping their way forward.

Now Cao Yan and the others are like a small sun, illuminating the surrounding area of a few zhang transparently.

When Luo Ming heard this, he looked at Cao Yan.

"Yes, yes, but you can't get too close to us." This is pitch black, Cao Yan is a little wary of someone hacking Luo Ming.

"Thank you, brother, we know these rules." The people around also understood the request.

After all, large families are very careful about their own safety.

"Brother Tai and the two are the children of the eunuchs, right?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"I'm not, he is." Cao Yan was bored and wanted to talk to them casually.

"It's no wonder, we saw a lot of carriages with such glass lamps hanging before, but those are not as big as the six big ones in the brotherhood, and it seems that the merchants in the capital have not seen such a large shape of glass lamps for sale." This man has apparently studied these luxuries to some extent.

"It's custom-made." Luo Ming saw that Cao Yan was chatting with them, and he also interjected.

"It's no wonder, this lamp is not cheap, I heard that the most common ones are forty runs, and the big brother is still custom-made, I'm afraid it will cost hundreds, right?"

"A thousand and one light." Luo Ming said that he had sold this lamp, and it was not that there was no lamp in the capital, but in those high-ranking homes or those high-end places, it was just hung in the courtyard and not hung out, and it was normal for these people to not see it.

"Tear," there was a sound of cold air inhaling from all around.

"I heard that the oil used to light the lamp inside was boiled from Kun's body, is it true?"

"Well, it's true."

"Is the Kun really as big as the legend says?" Seeing that Luo Ming seemed to know a lot, the number of people around him began to increase.

"It's not as exaggerated as the book says, it's probably just more than ten zhang long." Luo Ming thought for a while and said, the book is thousands of miles long.

"More than ten feet?" The people who listened were also smacking their tongues, this is more than 90 feet, isn't it?

"By the way, I heard that eating Kun's meat can cure all diseases, is this true?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"How can I say it, it can cure the disease so much that there is no such thing, but if you eat it regularly, it is true that people will get sick less." Cao Yan said before that eating more can supplement many trace elements of people, enhance people's resistance, and therefore make them less sick.

"Have you ever eaten that brother?" Someone asked.

"Eaten!" This meat Luo Ming can be regarded as one of the people who eats the most, and he has basically made any flavor.

"Is it delicious?"

"It depends on how you make it, but it's kind of like beef overall." Luo Ming smashed his mouth again when he thought about it.

It's Cao Yan's ship that only comes back once a month or two, which is a bit worrying.

The sound of swallowing saliva was heard all around.

"By the way, brother, what is the effect of the refreshing mosquito repellent water?"

This time, without waiting for Luo Ming to speak, someone around him said first: "The effect is good, when I used it according to its instructions, I really felt that my mind was clear, and the article I wrote was a little better, I tried it, and I quickly sold it, but I bought it a little late, and I used forty-five times." ”

"Alas," someone sighed: "You are only forty-five guan, I only arrived in Jingshi the day before yesterday, and the price had already increased at that time, and I sold it for fifty guan." ”

"Ah, you sell it so expensive?" Only one person in the crowd asked.

"Yes! You didn't sell? As soon as the man's words came out, the people around him immediately stared curiously at the person who spoke.

"The little brother's family is not good, he really doesn't have the financial resources, by the way, can't he buy it?"

"It's not impossible, you will know when you wait for the exam, if all the people next door are buying, it's okay, if the people around you don't buy it, hehe, it's July at this time, and all the mosquitoes in the entire Gongyuan will be driven to you, think about the consequences, hehe!" There were people around laughing.

Schadenfreude followed by a burst of gloating laughter.

Cao Yan listened to these words, and only then did he know why, the more that thing was sold, the better, this is all a word-of-mouth effect, he turned his head to look, and Luo Ming, who was already smiling and toothless, glanced at it, this kid is afraid that he has made millions of yuan this time, right?

……

Along the way, these six lights attracted more and more people like they attracted mosquitoes.

The more we talked, the happier we became.

However, Cao Yan and the others did not reveal their names, and fortunately, no one asked, after all, this is also a meeting in Pingshui, and there is no need for so many people to ask.

Even the people I met in Jiangning Mansion occasionally didn't talk about this aspect.

In fact, Cao Yan was a little worried that others would know that Luo Ming was one of the masterminds behind such an expensive perfume, and he would be beaten to death by them.

……

Small talk all the way.

Soon arrived at the gate of the Gongyuan.

For this, the imperial court still made great efforts.

First of all, in terms of lighting, at intervals, a huge torch was erected.

Secondly, there are more forbidden troops patrolling.

There are also some forbidden soldiers who are maintaining the order of the queue.

See the destination arrived.

Everyone thanked Cao Yan and the others, and then everyone lined up in the line.

After handing the exam box and two small horses to the two, Jia Ding stayed on the periphery, and only Luo Xiaosan and one of the Jia Ding followed the two in.

The queuing area is not allowed to enter so many outsiders, at most only one person is allowed to bring a scholar or something like that, and help take care of one or two there, after all, there will always be three urgents.

Luo Ming looked at the somewhat long line in front of him and shook his head.

He stretched out his hand, turned around, took out the watch he was carrying in his hand, and looked at the time: "These people are really positive, it's only more than two o'clock, and there are still more than two hours before the Gongyuan opens, so there is so much for this person to line up?" We're all at the back of the line. ”

After saying that, he opened his little horse and sat down.

Cao Yan also followed the long dragon in front of the Gongyuan and glanced at it a few times, and silently opened the little maza, which was too worrying.

In his hand is a mechanical watch with a sapphire appearance, the appearance of the watch is all made of gold, with an analogue design, a skeleton dial, you can see the small mechanical gears turning inside, and the buckle is a butterfly double snap buckle.

It was Cao Yan who was grounded during this time and was really bored to do it himself, it was originally four pieces brought by his family, but he was accidentally seen by Luo Ming, and he asked Cao Yan to help him with a piece of it, and it was also a local tyrant gold, and now he is fine every day, so he just slipped out and took a look in front of everyone.

However, after seeing the convenience of this thing, he once encouraged Cao Yan to get more to sell, and the price was 10,000 Mr. Da, or the same sentence, love or not!

But Cao Yan didn't agree, now the level of his own craftsmen can't reach this level, but a larger clock should still be able to produce, he is ready to finish the exam, so let people go back with the drawings to try it.

The small ones can only be done by themselves now, and this is still a delicate item, and it takes a night to make one by yourself, which is extremely laborious.

He doesn't want to stay up late every day to give birth by himself, anyway, he is not short of money now.

"By the way, Master, are you hungry?" Luo Ming spoke again.

Cao Yan didn't answer, he looked at the gathered flow of people, after walking for so long, he felt a little hungry and wanted to eat supper.

Well! If you let the people from Linjiazhai come here to set up a spicy stall, I don't know how the business is?

"Master, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Cao Yan didn't reply, Luo Ming asked again.

"I'm wondering, why didn't anyone come over to set up a stall tonight?" Cao Yan was a little puzzled, it is said that the business of Jingshi is so developed, how can no one think of this.

"Yes! It's on the lake around the corner over there, and the imperial court doesn't let them get too close for safety, but you can let the next person get it or eat it yourself, don't you see a lot of people running over there? Luo Ming pointed in one direction and said to Cao Yan.

Cao Yan noticed this time that there seemed to be a lot of people running over there, and at first he thought that people had three urgencies.

"What? What does Master want to eat? Luo Ming asked.

"Well, go over and see what's there."

"Little San, you are staring here, I'll go over with Master to take a look." ()
