Volume 2: The Heart Has a Thousand Knots Chapter 58: A Month
Every year, the month of the Luyuan Courtyard Examination is the easiest time for Changzhou officials, Luyuan itself is a signboard, plus the people recruited are all geniuses among geniuses, and there are naturally capable people in handling government affairs, so for this group of officials, it is not good for someone to do things for themselves, and some of them have turned over the old cases that have accumulated over the years.
Sure enough, after a month of court examinations, there are a few major cases that Changzhou has cracked, not to mention those about water conservancy, planting and other livelihood issues, even the new assassin who was ordered to be in danger is very satisfied with this, since the bad thing about Xu Huang in Luoyang County, the eyes of the entire court are staring here, if his newly appointed assassin has no political achievements, won't it make people see jokes, and his majesty will not be unhappy, and he will take off his official hat.
Therefore, the gratitude of this assassin to the students of Luyuan is really like a surging river, after the first major case was solved, a pennant was sent to Chen Wenbo's desk, and then it was all kinds of donations, all kinds of convenience, and the end was full of sincerity.
In a month's time, the smell of spring has completely swept the earth, a few points of greenery here, and a few green branches there. Duck fishing has begun on the river, dignitaries and ladies are planning to shed their winter clothes, ordinary people are worried about their livelihoods for a year, and wanderers continue to wander around.
Everyone is busy, for what they want, for the expectations of their families, for the beloved woman to look back at herself.
Whether it is the world or the rivers and lakes, regardless of war, not to mention rich and poor, the whole land is full of vitality.
The moon is crooked, the stars are dotted, and it is located in the downstairs of Tianxiang Tower, which is not far from the government of Luoyang County, and it is a harmonious scene of sending guests to enjoy themselves at this time.
Song Lan, the second son of the Song family, the richest man in Luoyang County, who had not appeared for a long time, was standing in front of a willow tree and vomiting, but the young man who had grown a year old did not seem to be drunk, his eyes were clear, and after vomiting, he was no different from a normal person.
Song Lan looked back at the classmates who had completed the college examination with him in the mansion, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he was a little sarcastic.
Zhao Jinlong, Luo Wenqiu, Huang Wan, Lin Zhi, plus him Song Lan, several of them are lucky, they were arranged to be apprentices in the government office, write some documents and other things every day, and they have a very easy time, and their tasks are also very good, combing Changzhou's financial income in the past ten years, this is a beautiful difference, although the biggest corrupt official was folded, but there are a lot of small actions, this month, there are many people who find them a few people to make it convenient, just he Song Lan has won several big businesses for the family, Not to mention the oil and water fished by the children of the other scholars.
Since they had an unhappy relationship with Xiao Jinchen, this group of people didn't talk to Song Lan much, to be honest, Song Lan didn't want to talk to them, what's the matter, what's the matter, if there was no himself, then Xiao Jinchen wouldn't be able to be famous in the world and cover the brilliance of all of them? Isn't that?
Speaking of which, it's not that you can't do it yourself, but you are also a dignified student of Luyuan, but they are all villains who tend to be inflammatory, after Xiao Jinchen became famous, you went around others, and as a result, people didn't want to pay attention to you at all, and now people don't go to class, it is said that there is a small stove opened by Mr. Ye, you are not satisfied, what do you say that there is a background and a background or something, then you don't accept yourself, go to be Mr. Ye's apprentice, see if other people are birds?
For Jing Jingyi, Song Lan can be regarded as thinking clearly now, this woman is not something she can control at all, she chased for a long time and chased it to the donkey's hooves, not to mention the commotion, and even lost her face.
Song Lan has asked herself more than once, why did you fall in love with such a woman in the first place, why are you not a good person, we will never have results, I bah, it's disgusting to me, Lao Tzu can't find any woman, why hang yourself on your unclimbable tree.
It's just scolding and scolding, the young man's heart is still a little uncomfortable, after all, she is the first woman she really likes, even if it's not good, it's hard to forget, isn't it? He didn't even dare to imagine if Jing Jingyi came to him one day, he would follow her shamelessly again.
Song Lan waited for the four of them to stagger away before following slowly, surrounded by tourists, Song Lan laughed at herself: "Song Lan, Song Lan, you are really a dog, shit is so unpalatable, but why do you always think about eating shit?"
……
At the Mochizuki Inn, Zhou Zeyu, who had been busy for more than a month, finally had the time to catch his breath, and at this time, apart from him in the lobby, there was only the old gentleman who used to teach as a toad.
The old man leaned back in his chair, and from time to time he would take a sip from the flask on the table.
Zhou Zeyu found a stool and put it in front of the table, took two wine bowls from the counter, and brought a plate of peanuts by the way.
"You kid, you have to deduct it, even if you invite someone to drink, you have to invite someone else's wine." The old man squinted, a little dissatisfied.
Zhou Zeyu wiped his clothes casually, and said with a hippie smile: "Don't mind, old man, with our friendship, is there a difference between drinking yours and drinking mine?"
The old man snorted coldly: "This difference is too big, hey, I used to think that you kid buckled, but I never thought that you would be so buttoned, Lao Liu was black enough in the past, you are even darker than him in this later life, what's the matter, you want to make a whole drama that is better than blue."
"Sir, you have no conscience when you say this, who doesn't know what I'm Zhou Zeyu like, others say that I'm willing to pay for money, boy, how did I become a black heart when I came to you?"
"I earned more than 400 taels in a month, this is not a black heart, don't let me know it, the money you gave to those music girls is pitiful, and the bad people have worked hard for you for a month, aren't you not very kind?"
"Old man, you know that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, I can give them more money today, is it possible for me to give them for the rest of my life, this is obviously impossible, besides, come out to live a mixed life, who is not out of the hardship step by step, they are still young, and it does not hurt to grind for a few more years."
"Cut, Hei Xin is so high-sounding, old man, I am most annoyed by you scholars, eat people and don't spit out bones, roll, Lao Tzu won't invite you to drink." The old man said on his lips, but his hand didn't move, watching Zhou Zeyu drink the wine, and he was about to add more, but Zhou Zeyu stretched out his hand to stop him.
"What's the matter, I was angry when I said a few words to the old man?"
"No, didn't you say it all, who is with whom we have a relationship, I'm going to class tomorrow, I just don't want to drink too much." Zhou Zeyu smiled and got up to leave: "Old man, Rong Zeyu is lazy, lock the door when you leave later."
"Gotcha." The old man answered, drank all the wine in the bowl, and muttered to himself: "Lao Liu, you kid has picked up a treasure."
For Zhou Zeyu's performance this month, the old man can see it all, first invite himself, and then invite some music girls, and then take the opportunity of some old customers to launch several discounts, at the beginning of the loss, but in the end, when the city knows about these discounts, he was stunned and made a profit of more than 400 taels of silver, which is a big fortune, but in the old gentleman's opinion, this is all Zhou Zeyu deserves, a month of continuous rotation, only sleep two hours a day, and deal with all kinds of businessmen, the most important thing is that the mouth can speakIf such a person doesn't make money, then who else in this world can make money?
Zhou Zeyu now lives in Lao Liu's former bedroom, the young man walked in, looked at the neat four hundred taels of silver on the table, and smiled very happily, this is all his achievements this month, although it has not reached one thousand taels, but he is already content, people, just be content and happy, it is best to be able to complete it, if it is not completed, it is nothing, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.
What makes Zhou Zeyu happy this month is not that he has made a lot of money, but that he has turned all the things he used to think about in his leisure time into reality, such as one of his discounts, set up some small prizes, and then let all the guests who consume a certain number of guests in the Mochizuki Teahouse draw a lottery, and then let the old gentleman outside the door say a few paragraphs of the book, this book can be exquisite, it must let customers have the desire to consume, and to attract them to continue to think about the prize, people have a kind of mind to take advantage of a small advantage, and the world is lucky, Always confident in his luck, those prizes are not worth much, but under the domination of this layer of psychology, it is better than those that he spent money to buy, Zhou Zeyu just relied on this, and he made a lot of silver taels.
After a month of busy work, Zhou Zeyu's beard was a little dense, the young man sat in front of the bed, took out a razor and began to shave, Zhou Zeyu shaved and shaved.
"Lao Liu, how is it, the kid didn't embarrass you, stains, look at that table, it's all mine." Although the silver on the table is not so dazzling and even has a little black stamp, it is of great significance at this moment.
……
Luyuan Library Building, two groups of people who have been on the upper and lower floors for a month finally met together, Mengwan took a thick pile of manuscripts, she looked at the two young men and women standing hand in hand opposite, a little stunned, it's only been a month, why are these two people together?
He Junqi seemed to know the thoughts in Mengwan, with the nourishment of love, at this time her face was completely gloomy, and Her Royal Highness the princess blinked: "Wanzhong, do you remember that I told you that I was waiting for the little man who made me a bamboo flute."
Mengwan was dumbfounded, and she pointed at Ruan Wenqi: "Could it be him?"
"Hmm."
"I really can't imagine that the two of you still have such a relationship, but what happened to you before?"
He Junqi didn't explain much, she just looked at a man with a flushed face and said sweetly: "Some people are cowards, that's why it's delayed until now."
Mengwan was caught off guard and was fed a mouthful of dog food, she coughed dryly, looked at the two and quipped: "Take the blessing of the old lady, get out of here."
