These two students have followed him since the teahouse, and they are very concerned about his every move, and even after they are lost, they can still come to the inn to find him, and it is self-evident what their intentions are.

The knowledge of these two students is not bad, and over the years, he has also walked around the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, and talking to people more is conducive to realizing his own shortcomings.

Some people think that reading should not be heard outside the window, but Yan Wuming doesn't think so, reading behind closed doors may be able to learn a whole body of knowledge, but that's all.

In this world, there are many smart people who read and there are many ignorant people, but after this Huaiwangfu Academy recruits students, if anyone is unfavorable to King Huai, the king of the northern land, in the future, won't these scholars want to go up to Pingming?

It can be seen that fame is not only a talisman, but also a sword that kills, terrible, terrible.

However, Yan Wuming suddenly smiled, changed his words, and asked the two students,

"However, why are you scholars in Sanyang County so leisurely?"

The two students didn't understand a little, so they listened to Yan Wuming continue,

"The students from all over the places I have traveled to are all hanging on their heads, and they are desperately reading for next year's Enko, why do you still run to the inn and the teahouse to watch the excitement?"

"What Enko?" The two students looked at Yan Wuming in surprise.

"Your Majesty has already issued an order, saying that it is ready to open Enko, there has been no war on the border for two consecutive years, and the people are also living and working in peace and contentment, and the announcement has long been pasted throughout the country."

"On the way here, I met scholars from the side branch of King Huai's Mansion asking people for advice everywhere, and there were also test questions to buy the imperial examination in the capital, just to prepare for Enke next year, don't you know?"

The two students looked at each other, and they really didn't hear any news of such a big news.

If they can be sent to follow this foreign student, it means that they are still related to the Huaiwang Mansion.

Even they didn't get the news, so it can be seen that the news was very tightly concealed.

"You've seen a lot of notices posted in a lot of places?" One of the students asked in a difficult voice.

Yan Wuming was inexplicable, "Of course, many places I came here have been posted, but you are the place where the Huaiwang Mansion is located, didn't the announcement be posted?" ”

Yan Wuming's face was puzzled, and the two students were also puzzled, and muttered in a low voice, "It doesn't make sense, don't you all know what the side branch of Huaiwangfu knows?" ”

Why do they not know what the Huai Wangfu knows?

Obviously, Huai Wangfu is still accepting students.

Did Huai Wangfu hide the news and prepare in advance?

But what does the Huai Wangfu have to prepare?

For a long time, the image of Huaiwangfu in the minds of the people of the north is very good, and there are no various tricky pretenses of excesses and miscellaneous taxes.

Not to mention the oppression of the people, even the side branches that were divided have always been under the control of the successive kings of Huai.

No one is going to mess around.

It can be said that the image of Huaiwangfu has always been perfect, which is why today, only the two palaces with different surnames in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty are still standing.

Zhenbei Wangfu guards the border, and has always shed blood and sweat for the people of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, and is not afraid of sacrifice.

And Huaiwangfu relied on this good reputation to pass down.

Now, someone told them that there might be a cat in the Huaiwang Mansion.

Both scholars were a little unreceptive.

Now the county guard of Sanyang County was appointed by the emperor, but the northern land is the fief of King Huai, and it is also possible that the county guard of Sanyang County pressed the notice.

Two students, you look at me, I look at you, I still have comfort in my heart, there may be some misunderstanding here.

They are students, even if they help those people do things, it is for the future, and now, this future may have problems.

Then, the status of Huai Wangfu is not so sacred in their hearts.

There is no shortage of celebrities in the world, but there are more ordinary people, how many readers don't want to be named on the gold list, and glorify their ancestors?

As soon as Enke opened, the happiest people were the readers, and every year in the imperial examination, there were many students from the south who got good rankings, and students from the north were always in the middle and lower reaches, and there were not many of them.

When did the students in the north not want to be ashamed of the snow?

This imperial court opened Enke, that is, sending charcoal in the snow, and it was another opportunity for them to be ashamed.

The reputation of Huaiwangfu is good, but compared with its own interests, then Huaiwangfu is ......

Yan Wuming didn't care about the faces of the two students, he just arched his hand towards the two of them,

"Two, now that the books of the chief examiner of Enke have begun to sell next year, you should find a way to get two sets quickly."

With that, he turned around and headed upstairs.

Enke's news did come out, but it must be slower to come to the north, but before Yan Wuming set off to the north, the emperor called him into the palace, and when he said this, he also gave him a time difference.

made his unannounced visit in the Northland smoother.

Sure enough, Huai Wangfu did not release the news in time, which gave Yan Wuming more room for maneuver.

Lord Huang of Yanjun cheated in the imperial examination, although there was the instigation of the people behind them, but did the Huai Wangfu really know nothing?

They knew, but they didn't reveal a little bit of information to the court!

After Yan Wuming told the two students the news of Kaienke, soon, the news spread to the ears of every student in Sanyang County, and then to the ears of the students in Beidi through the mouths of the students of Sanyang County.

After that, the news spread more and more, and the county guard of Sanyang County finally posted an announcement of the imperial court's Kaienke, and in order to calm the anger of the students, the county guard personally came out to explain, saying that they had just received the news from the imperial court.

On the surface, everyone believed the notices issued by the local governments, but in fact, the students were already dissatisfied with the Huaiwang Mansion and the local officials.

In addition to the main branch of Huai Wangfu, you can enjoy all the treatment of the palace, and the other side branches that are divided out have to rely on their own hard work.

Therefore, if it weren't for the government, Huai Wangfu knew about this in advance, how would he know to buy the books of the chief examiner of Enke?

However, now is not the time to worry about these, after all, everyone has to prepare for the imperial examination, to prepare for the road, and to go to the government to get all kinds of documents, if there is a quarrel at this time, what if you can't get these things?

It's just that they don't fight or quarrel, it doesn't mean that others don't quarrel or quarrel.

When the students of Sanyang County went to each study to buy the books of the Enke examiner, they found that all the books were sold out!

It's like a bolt from the blue!

Originally, I was already behind when I received the news, but now, I can't buy books for the imperial examination!

For candidates, the preference of the examiner is very important, if you don't have the right taste for the examiner, even if your essay is good, you may fall off the list.

Therefore, no matter whether you have money or not, every time the news of the examiner is released in the imperial examination, everyone will find a way to get a copy!

Now, these books are sold out!

Can't buy it!

Sanyang County didn't have it, so they went to the neighboring county, but they didn't expect it to be ...... Yes!!

The candidates couldn't sit still, and every time they went to a study and found that there were no books, they would ask, "Shopkeeper, why don't you prepare more?" ”

At this time, the shopkeeper will say: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is not that there are few small preparations, but because someone came and bought all the relevant books." ”

Someone? Who?

The shopkeeper didn't know what to say, dodged, and finally was forced to have no choice, and he said that he claimed to be a descendant of the branch family next to Huaiwang's mansion, and he was very generous and bought all the books.

Originally, the study was open to do business, and selling books to anyone was selling, since you can buy all the books, and at the same time be generous, so why not sell it, right?

Wherever literati go, they will encounter the same problems, the same conversations, and in the end, they are all numb!

They're ready to give up!

Finally, the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and they finally bought the book in a study.

However, this book ...... Hey, don't talk about it!

The printing is not clear, the paper is not good, no wonder it is not bought out!

This is simply too deceitful! It's too much of a deception!

No matter how good-tempered a person is, when he encounters such a thing, it is impossible to complain, not to mention, this is related to the imperial examination, to the life of every student, whether there will be a turning point in fate, just look at this!

Now, someone has blocked their way!

The northern land is already poor, and there are not many people who can study, where do they dare to go against the Huaiwang Mansion?

can only humbly ask the shopkeeper of the study to prepare more, and they will definitely come to buy it.

The shopkeeper of the study is naturally full of promises!

They did prepare more books and told those who had left their names to pick them up.

Who would have thought that on the day the students took the books, the door panel of the study was only two pieces down, and a group of fierce and vicious people rushed into the study, picked up the books, threw down the silver, and walked away.

Some scholars couldn't look at it, so they stepped forward to stop them and theorize, but they didn't expect those people to do it without saying a word, and finally they were vicious.

"We are from the Huaiwang Mansion, what do you want to do? Want to be disobedient? Roll on! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

Listen, what are you talking about? It's just that if you want to theorize two sentences, it will become a disobedient offense, which one is disobedient? Who's on it?

The students couldn't say anything when they were angry, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.

Why has Huai Wangfu been so arrogant recently?

Could it be that everyone was really deceived before?

You can't believe it!

Now, it's really unbearable!

The reputation of Huaiwangfu can be maintained so well, naturally there are many people who believe in them, and some students say,

"Could it be a misunderstanding? Could it be the side branches who did it? King Huai doesn't know? ”

In the crowd, a scholar took a sip,

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? King Huai doesn't know? Didn't you see those people say that they were from Huaiwangfu? Where can the people of the side branch of King Huai's Mansion afford to raise these fierce gods and evil spirits? ”

"This is clearly that Huaiwangfu is unwilling to let us go to the scientific examination, this is to control us, if we do well in the exam, Huaiwangfu will not be able to control us, and when the time comes, Huaiwangfu will not be able to say anything on the territory of Sanyang."

The more the scholar spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't help crying,

"Take pity on my family, smashing pots and selling iron for me to study, I have been looking forward to my gold list and returning to my hometown, and now Huaiwangfu is acting like this, how can I fulfill my family's wishes?"

The scholar wiped tears as he spoke.

Men don't flick when they have tears, if it weren't for the extreme sadness, where would there be such a gaffe?

Because of these tears of sadness, everyone's hearts were also clouded, and their hearts were at a loss for the future.

The disturbances among the students in Sanyang County seem to have nothing to do with Yan Wuming, these times, he has been living in the inn leisurely, sometimes going out for a walk, sometimes sitting in the lobby of the inn and listening to the discussions between those students.

On this day, he went out early in the morning with mung beans, dealt with two things, and returned to the inn It was already time for thousands of lights to be lit.

Although there is food in the inn, it is not Yan Wuming's favorite food.

To say that he has walked a lot of places, he has never encountered a place like Sanyang County, and there are too few food patterns.

Better food, that's really expensive!

No wonder the food stall business opened by the lady of the Li family can be like that, cheap is one reason, and it is also because there are many tricks.

Yan Wuming stood at the door of the inn for a moment, leading Mung Bean along the street slowly, his ears filled with all kinds of noisy sounds on the side of the street.

There were people who returned from the road at night, and there were also drunks who bought drunks who came out of the restaurant, staggering and walking home with the help of their slaves.

There are also various shops on the roadside that are still open, and all kinds of customers come out of them.

Yan Wuming walked forward slowly and saw a lantern with the words 'Li Ji' swaying in the night breeze.

The two words Li Ji seem to be a little familiar, but if you look closely, it turns out to be Xiao Wulang's words, which is interesting!

He suddenly remembered the female catcher who was exiled with his family, these days seem to be leisurely, but in fact he is very busy, arranging everywhere, controlling the development of this situation, as if he hasn't seen the female catcher selling food for some days.

Could it be that this is ......

Yan Wuming didn't think about it, and walked into the shop of 'Li Ji'.

However, there was no one in the shop, and there was a table of food on the middle table, a bowl of steaming, green porridge, a plate of salted duck eggs cut in half, flowing with golden oil, and a plate of thinly sliced lettuce, a plate of sour bamboo shoots and diced meat, such a placement, as if the guests had not yet taken their seats.

Yan Wuming, who originally had no appetite, couldn't suppress some saliva in his mouth, and his stomach growled at the right time.

He hesitated, sat down on the side of the table, and as soon as he sat down, he saw the girl who came in through the back door with a cloth towel on her shoulder, that is, the 'Li Zhukuai' who had not been seen for a long time. ’

"What do guests want to eat? There are still some food ...... in the kitchen," Li Hong said a few things for Yan Wuming to choose from.

Yan Wuring pointed to the food on the table, "That's fine." ”

Li Hongleng paused, pursed her lips, ignored the anxious look of the maid Xiaomei, took out the bowl, divided the bowl of rice porridge, and brought all the dishes on the table to Yan Wuming.

Yan Wuming didn't say anything, picked up the porridge, ate the dishes on the table, and ate slowly.

It looks like an ordinary bowl of rice porridge, but I didn't expect it to be filled with lotus seeds, boiled seeds, and a faint fragrance of lotus leaves.

It's really a bowl of exquisite rice porridge.

The maid Xiaomei kept stomping her feet on the side and inhaling.

Yan Wuming looked at the sky outside, although the weather in the north was not very good, but it was not winter yet, why did this little girl seem to be very cold?

Li Hong patted Xiaomei's hand and turned around to go to the kitchen.

Yan Wuming sat at the table and slowly began to eat.

The salted duck eggs flow with this golden oil, which is not very salty, especially the egg yolk, which tastes a little rusty and fragrant.

There is also that, sour bamboo shoots, the taste is a little heavy, and it is eaten with porridge, which is just right.

As for the finely chopped lettuce, it is mixed with vinegar and sesame oil, which is very crisp and refreshing.

Yan Wuming felt that this was the most delicious meal he had eaten in Sanyang County for so many days.

Although it is only a side dish of porridge.

It was about late, except for Yan Wuming, there were no other guests, Li Hong's master and servant were also eating at a table in the corner, the two of them were muttering and talking about something, and the maid glanced at Yan Wuming's side from time to time.

Yan Wuming felt too many women's eyes in the capital, and he didn't say anything, and when he finished eating, he stood up, with a slight smile, put down a piece of silver on the table, and said to Li Hong,

"Thank you for your hospitality."

Outside are the lights of ten thousand homes, and inside are the lights lit in the restaurant, which are shining brightly, which can shine on Yan Wuming's body, as if the sun and moon are shrouded in him, making him look exceptionally good.

It's even better than the last time I saw it by the river.

Li Hong couldn't help but sigh, woe to the water, woe to the water.

Yan Wuming didn't know what Li Hong was thinking, looked at the sky outside, raised his feet and walked out, ready to go back to the inn, there are still many things to do tomorrow.

Now those students are in high spirits, and he needs to be on top of the situation at all times.

He had just reached the door when a slightly chubby woman came in.

Seeing Yan Wuming, the fat woman froze for a moment, and then rushed into the house.

At first glance, this fat woman is not the kind of person who wants to come to dinner.

Yan Nameless Ghost made the god stay where he was, but wanted to see what the fat woman was doing.

"Mrs. Li, this family affair is really good!"

"Although Gu Saburo is a businessman, whether he is in the West Market or elsewhere, he has a shop, and at home, he is also a slave and a maid, and he is honest and capable, just to find a neat lady."

"If you want me to say Mrs. Liu, aren't you just a neat lady."

"You guys, it's really a match made in heaven, it's the first time I've come across it in all these years."

The matchmaker Liu pushed Li Hong a little narrowly, waiting to see that she was shy.

Li Hong nodded,

"Yes, this family business, it sounds really good."

She spoke calmly, without any shyness.

Although there was a little difference between what she thought and Mrs. Liu, seeing that Li Hong also said that this was a good family matter, Mrs. Liu suddenly laughed.

It's just that Li Hong's words turned around,

"Mrs. Liu, such a good family business, why is it cheaper for a girl like me whose father was exiled?"

"It's scary."

Mrs. Liu looked around, then leaned over to Li Hong's side, and said in a low voice,

"I heard that I ate the food in your store, and I heard that you have gone from a small stall without a fixed stall to a store in a short period of time, which shows that you are extraordinary."

Yan Wuming was thinking outside, in order to eat, he decided to marry the cook back, and I don't know if this Lang Jun will meet his favorite food in the future, what sells lard cakes, and those who take the mutton test, will marry back?

At that time, there are a bunch of wives and concubines born from cooks in the house, it seems a little funny to think about it?

Li Hong just smiled and didn't speak, Liu Matchmaker's wife had no choice but to do it, this is the way of Ai Ai,

"That person is older than you, really some, now forty-eight, but the man is older, so he knows that it hurts, isn't it."

Seeing that Li Hong still didn't speak, Mrs. Liu patted her thigh, and could only tell the truth,

"This person's wife has been gone for half a year, and I've seen a few girls, it's not so bad, it's not good, I didn't expect to meet you, you see, isn't this a match made in heaven?"

"Mrs. Li, when you enter the door, you are the lady in charge, not only do you not have to make such a living on the street, but your family can also be properly settled."

"Isn't this a godsend?"

The more Mrs. Liu boasted, the more she felt that this was really a good marriage, although the family who said that she was not rich and expensive, but there were several shops that were true, and there were indeed a few slaves and maids in the family, so the family could indeed see it.

It is also recognized that men are more painful when they are older.

Although this Li lady doesn't look very fair-skinned, her face is also good-looking, handsome, and a young bride, doesn't she have to be liked by her family?

Seeing that she had said so much, Li Hong would still be silent, and suddenly Mrs. Liu changed her angle again,

"You said that you are not young, ordinary people are your age, you have been a mother for many years, and your family, your father and mother are now old, and they are not doing heavy work, you work so hard, isn't it just for the family?"

"Are there also people who don't dislike your family and are willing to resettle, what else do you have to choose?"

"Do you have to wait until you are older, waiting to be those step-sisters who are sixty or seventy years old?"

Yan Wuming, who had been standing outside the door and listening for a long time, was almost choked by his own saliva.

How do you say that Li Zhu is already about to be seventy or eighty?

Is it too late if you don't get married?

He couldn't listen to it anymore, it was rare that Miss Li had a good temper and listened to it for so long.

He raised his foot and was just about to enter the door, but he didn't expect to hear Miss Li inside say in a good voice,

"Thank you Aunt Liu for thinking of me, it's just that I'm so old, and my temper is not good, and I'm very weird."

"At my aunt's age, I want to come to the family and there is a girl, right? Fifteen? Sixteen? ”

"Such an age is the age to say that you are married, that person is so good, why didn't the aunt tell her own girl to be a parent?"

"Anyway, I am willing to settle my family, and when the time comes, my aunt will arrange it together, so I don't have to spit everywhere to help people say goodbye, and they will be exposed to the wind and rain. I'm tired. ”

"As for people like me, let me be exposed to the sun and the wind and the wind."

Yan Wuming almost burst out laughing, but he could really say it.

Before Aunt Liu finished listening, she subconsciously retorted, "How can that be a ......?"

She has a daughter, but she is a widower of forty-eight, how can she match her daughter? It's disgusting to think about.

Her daughter is young and has a good color, so she naturally wants to marry the little Langjun who is studying, if that Langjun is in the imperial examination, won't her daughter be a Jinshi lady at that time?

Aunt Liu has been a matchmaker for so many years, and she has not been in vain, and she will understand after a while, Li Hong is teasing, and she suddenly became a little angry, and she felt like she was kicked by a donkey.

She thought for a moment and said sarcastically,

"What? Who is Mrs. Li thinking about? Do you still want to think about those little Langjun who participated in the imperial examination? ”

"Auntie will remind you today, it's better not to have such whimsical daydreams."

"Jinshi Lady is not so easy to do, people with many rules, who will help you settle your family."

"You, the best ones are not the best, being a concubine of the Jinshi family is all promoting you, you better marry honestly in the market."

"It's better not to be too arrogant, what do you have to be so arrogant, it's just the daughter of an exile."

Li Hong pondered and said, "Probably because of the good skills of making food, the brain is bright, and you can make money?" ”

Mrs. Liu, "......"

Yan Wuming stood outside and waited for a while, only to see Mrs. Liu coming out of the room in a stupid manner.

Seeing Yan Wuming standing outside, Mrs. Liu stared at her twice, then looked inside, and left with a strange expression.

Li Hong came out of the room and said with a smile,

"Aunt Liu, don't send it if you go slowly."

In the end, don't come to your door in the end.

She didn't notice that there was still a person outside, and she almost bumped into someone, and when she looked up, she saw that it was the noble boy who had just eaten her dinner.

Li Hong was a little helpless, why did this noble son simply get on the bar with him, and he didn't know how much he listened to the conversation just now.

But even if you hear it, it doesn't matter.

It's just an irrelevant person anyway.

……

The general manager of Sanyang County did not affect the lives of Xin Yi and Xiao Yuanyou in He County.

Xin Yi now teaches 20 students, and his life is busy and fulfilling.

She not only taught the girls to read and write, but also invited the embroidery girl to teach the girls female red needlework.

Since it is to give the children one more way to earn a living, the original road cannot be blocked.

That little girl named Chunzhi is not only good at reading, but even the female red needlework is better than other children of the same age, who doesn't like such a child?

Xin Yi naturally felt that this child could be cultivated, and sometimes there would be something to give to her.

It's just that the child accepted it happily in front of him, but behind his back, he threw aside those rewards and dislikes.

It's like those things are the lowliest.
