Qian Qianyi was talking with Zhou Yanru in the room, when suddenly there were three knocks on the door, one long and two short, which was the signal that there was an abnormal situation. Baidu search to see the latest chapter// Qian Qianyi's heart tightened, will there be any special circumstances in this big day? However, he was not in a hurry, and just shouted softly, "Come in and speak." ”
After listening to Qian Qianyi's words, the back door was gently pushed open, and the captain of the guard in charge of the guard came in and said, "Mr. Qian, the boat boss wants to stop the boat, do you want to restrain him from stopping?" It's just a remote town, and the small ones are afraid of something wrong. ”
Qian Qianyi also felt that the speed of the boat was slowing down at this time, he thought for a while and asked, "Did the boat boss say that he had any reason to stop the ship?" ”
The captain of the guard said, "I asked, and he said that he would pick up the shopkeeper Luo here." ”
Qian Qianyi only remembered at this time that he had forgotten the owner of the chartered boat, and before everyone got on the boat, they had heard that the ship was chartered by a merchant surnamed Luo, and that it could be shared with others, but it was only rented to scholars and not to others. After everyone got on the boat, they didn't see the master and only met a woman who played the piano, and at first thought that the woman who played the piano was the daughter of the shopkeeper Luo, but later learned that it was the concubine bought by the shopkeeper Luo. Everyone has seen other people's concubines, but they haven't seen the owner of the chartered boat, and everyone seems to have forgotten the shopkeeper Luo, which is really a bit undeserved.
Qian Qianyi thought for a while and said: "After all, this boat is chartered by someone else, and it makes no sense for us not to let others get on the boat, a few of you go to the front to pay attention to how many people are on the boat, if there are more people on the boat, you will take action to restrain the boat boss." ”
After Qian Qianyi finished speaking to the captain of the guard, he turned his head and asked Zhou Yanru, "What does Brother Zhou think?" ”
Zhou Yanru said: "In the past, there may have been some river bandits and water bandits, but since the people of Zhao led the sect were resettled along the river, the various forces along the canal have been annexed and disintegrated to the point of almost exhaustion. However, we should not be too relieved, and when the form is not right, we will first restrain the boat boss as Mr. Qian said, and then lean to the bank on the other side of the river and walk down, it is estimated that you will encounter a large market in less than 20 miles, and it is safer to have more crowded places and there are also officers and soldiers patrolling the river. ”
Not long after the captain of the guard went out, he heard the sound of the woman playing the piano outside and stopped, and then heard a man's voice say loudly: "I heard your piano from afar, didn't you miss me for the past two days and start playing the piano to relieve boredom?" ”
It seems that the person who spoke was the shopkeeper Luo in the mouth of the boat boss, as if he had put the concubine who had just bought it not long ago on the ship because of something, and now he is here to wait after the matter is done. Qian Qianyi was also a little curious about this shopkeeper Luo at this time, and bought a woman for the price of 300 acres of land, but he was willing to leave her and a maid on the boat to do things alone. If you can sell 3,000 taels and are reluctant to share a few taels of silver with someone, is there anything strange in this?
At this time, the captain of the guard came over and reported that there were indeed more than a dozen people on the ship, but only one middle-aged man and four attendants actually got on the boat, and the others sent them on the ship and went back, not looking like robbers or others. The captain of the guard also said that from the way these people walked, it was clear that they were not well-trained people, and even if a dozen people got on the boat together, his people would be sure to solve it, and now only four should come up. Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru looked at each other and smiled after listening to the words of the captain of the guard, and the worry in his heart finally let go, and it seemed that he was still carrying things on the boat in a noisy manner, and he didn't care much about it anymore.
At this time, I heard the woman surnamed Liu first whispering something to the shopkeeper Luo, and then I heard the shopkeeper Luo say loudly: "Is there really a scholar who comes to charter a boat together?" Looks like I'm really lucky to see it.,What kind of reader is it?? ”
Listening to the footsteps, it seemed that the shopkeeper Luo was walking this way, the captain of the guard led a few people to greet him, and Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru also followed out of the door, and they also wanted to see this shopkeeper Luo. As soon as he left the door and turned a corner, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing there, and a woman surnamed Liu, who had started to play the piano, stood behind him obediently, and it seemed that the middle-aged man was the shopkeeper Luo. Seeing Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru coming out, Shopkeeper Luo clasped his fists and said, "These two are Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhou, right?" It's a great pleasure to meet you here! ”
Seeing that this shopkeeper Luo said politely but did not take the initiative to use his name, Qian Qianyi also arched his hand and said: "Before I got on the boat, I heard that this boat was contracted by the shopkeeper Luo, and we were able to take a ride to please the shopkeeper Luo." ”
Shopkeeper Luo said: "My family often walks in the canal for business reasons, because Lao Wu's boat is clean, so I take his boat every time, Lao Wu knows that my family's habit is to like to read people." Don't hide that the two gentlemen said that other people want to take the boat I chartered, there is no door, only the scholar wants to take the boat and give two money, if you want to speculate, you can not want the boat money, if you really want to talk about it, you can also give away the travel fee. ”
The old Wu in the mouth of the shopkeeper Luo is the boss of the boat, listening to the shopkeeper Luo's meaning is not only this time to treat Qian Qianyi and his party preferentially, but also their family has a tradition of preferential treatment of scholars, Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru heard it strangely in their hearts, and secretly said that this person is not a descendant of Confucius, and he will treat scholars so well for the sake of Confucius's face.
Qian Qianyi said: "Luo's shopkeeper's move is incomprehensible, I don't know if I can tell me the specific details?" ”
Shopkeeper Luo saw that Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru were very extraordinary, so he said: "Meeting is fate, in the next is because I like to make friends with readers, the outside is more breathable than the inside, and you can also see the scenery on both sides of the strait, why don't we sit outside here for a while?" ”
Seeing Qian and Zhou, the two nodded in agreement, and the shopkeeper Luo asked the woman surnamed Liu to go back to the room first, and then asked the boat boss Lao Wu to make a pot of good tea. ”
After Lao Wu agreed to leave, the shopkeeper Luo said: "At first, Mr. Qian didn't understand why my family likes to make friends with scholars, presumably this Mr. Zhou also has such a question in his heart, before letting the two of you clear their doubts, please don't blame the two of you, that is, what did you do when you went south this time?" ”
Qian Qianyi replied: "The two of us are fellow villagers, we didn't pass the scientific examination last year, and this has been nearly two years, and there is still a year to open the department, we want to go south to play and find a few colleagues to talk about poetry." Shopkeeper Luo is a businessman, I'm afraid I don't know about the things of scholars, no matter how hard we work on learning at this age, it is impossible to make any progress, and we can only make a breakthrough in spirituality and comprehension to go to high school. ”
Shopkeeper Luo said with a smile: "Mr. Qian's words are wrong, if in the past, I might have let you go to high school, but now I can't do that, first, there is no need for that, and second, the current imperial court is very concerned about this matter, and there is no need to take a dangerous road." ”
Qian Qianyi has also been an examiner for two terms, and when he saw Shopkeeper Luo say this, he wondered if there was any fraud in the scientific field, so he asked: "Shopkeeper Luo seems to be very familiar with the scientific examination, how did you say it in the past and now, can you explain it clearly?" ”
Shopkeeper Luo said: "It seems that you scholars are not generally concerned about the imperial examination, in fact, my words are also very simple, in the past, as long as you are members of my Luo family, there will be no problem if you pay some money." As long as your article is not too bad, it is not easy for you to be among the top three, but there should be no problem in getting among the top 100, and it is appropriate to say more than 100 for our family. Now the court is very strict and fair, and the punishment for fraud is relatively heavy, so there is no need for us to take risks, and the reason why I say that it is not necessary is because there is another way to go, it depends on whether you are willing or not. ”
Qian Qianyi asked, "How did we become members of your family?" What about the other roads? ”
The shopkeeper Luo said: "My Luo family is not one of the best families in the Jiangnan area, but the top ten must have a place for my Luo family, among which my family has a unique place in business, needless to say, there is also a secret is to continue to attract people with real talents and learning." As long as you are willing to serve my Luo family and find a woman from the Luo family to marry you as a wife and concubine, aren't you a member of my Luo family? Now you are frustrated in your studies, as long as the head of my family finds that you have real talent and learning, it is not difficult to spend some effort to cultivate you, and now the imperial court allows large businessmen to open companies to do business, and everyone needs people who know how to do business, not necessarily only to be an official. ”
Shopkeeper Luo's words made Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru tremble, it turned out that there was such a place that did not hesitate to win over scholars, listen to his meaning, in the past, as long as you have the ability and willingness, the Luo family can pay for you to be a petty official. The collusion between business people and officials is the most suitable combination of power and money, and it is difficult for others to resist both soft and hard. Even if the imperial court is now tightly blocked, it is not good to bribe to buy rankings, and spending money to find famous teachers for guidance is also a big investment, and the economic inspection system of the imperial court is only aimed at the current officials, not for the scholars, and if you invest in the promising scholars, others will not be able to say that they will be able to have a certain return in the future.
Even if you can't be an official in high school, you can go to study in the doctoral college, and learn new knowledge and new technologies can also help the Luo family open a company, which is the other way that the shopkeeper Luo said. Qian Qianyi thought for a while and said: "If it is a young person, I am afraid that it is worth it for the shopkeeper Luo, but we are too old to be worth it, even if we have the intention of joining the Luo family, we have to weigh it, and we dare not come to the door casually." Today, since I met the shopkeeper Luo, I will ask you something, maybe I won't be able to take the exam next year, so I have to take the practical road, that road is more practical, so I have to investigate more, and if we don't get in the imperial examination, we will look for the shopkeeper Luo again in order to take it in. ”
Luo Zhanggui saw that Qian Qianyi had the intention of prevarication and did not force it, so he said: "Although Mr. Qian is older, it is not impossible to go to high school, and I don't dare to take it in because I just want to make a friend, I don't know where I can help the two gentlemen?" ”
