Chapter 212: Buying the Question

Wu Wenshi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wang, the little nephew is looking for you, let's go into the house and say yes?" ”

Zhao Jian thought to himself: "It turns out that the surname of this old man who is very spiritual is Wang, is it the surname of the master?" But does the prince wash the horse with the surname Wang, which prince washes the horse? ”

Old Man Wang hummed, and was about to let Wu Wenshi in, but when he saw Zhao Jian behind Wu Wenshi, he frowned and said, "Who is this person, you know that I don't like to see outsiders!" ”

Wu Wenshi hurriedly said: "This person is my good friend, he is a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam this time, and he was admitted to the Shike, and he knew that you could get the exam questions, so he came to ask!" ”

Old Man Wang was taken aback, looked at Wu Wenshi, and then at Zhao Jian, he stretched out his hand and pushed Wu Wenshi, and said, "You still don't want to enter the house, I have nothing to talk about with you, I can't get the exam questions, you have found the wrong person!" ”

Zhao Jian saw him rushing people, hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "I don't know what the old man is called, and he is a housekeeper in which prince's house he washes horses?" ”

But the old man Wang said: "I don't want to tell you my name, and I don't want to tell you which prince's house I am a housekeeper in the house where the prince washes horses, you better go, don't come to me, what exam questions are not examined, I have a bad memory, and I forget it after reading it!" ”

He said this very simply, but Zhao Jian was overjoyed, from these words, he heard that this old man must be a certain prince washing the horse's housekeeper, and he had seen the exam questions, otherwise he would say that he didn't know, how could he say that he forgot, such an important thing, after reading it, how could he forget it!

Zhao Jian hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, you can make a price, can't I spend money to buy your exam questions, I only buy the exam questions of the Shike." He said as he squeezed through the door.

The old man Wang was furious, his strength was not as great as Zhao Jian, and he was squeezed into the courtyard by Zhao Jian, and the old man Wang said: "What kind of crime should you be guilty of trespassing into a private house!" ”

Wu Wenshi also entered the courtyard and said, "Uncle Wang, don't do this, so if Brother Ren wants to see the exam questions, you can be merciful and let him take a look!" Surely you won't read the exam questions in vain, right? Two hundred, is there a problem? ”

In order to show that he is very powerful, Zhao Jian said: "There is no problem, the money is on me, as long as Mr. Wang lends me the exam questions, then these two hundred guan are yours, of course, it must be real exam questions!" ”

Old Man Wang glared at him, and said to Zhao Jian: "You young man, you are really ignorant, do you know whether this surnamed Wu is a good person or a bad person, do you recognize him?" If he is a bad guy who tricks you here, and then kills you with a knife, or knocks you unconscious, and steals the money and leaves, where are you going to find him? ”

Zhao Jian's face changed suddenly, isn't it, he just thought about buying exam questions, but he forgot about security, but since this old man Wang said so, it proves that he is not a bad person, and he is not in the same group as this Wu Wenshi!

Wu Wenshi said: "Uncle Wang, what are you talking about, didn't you know your little nephew on the first day, how can I do that kind of thing, this thing is a business, if you want to do it, you can do it, if you don't do it, you will pull it down, if you don't want to sell it so much, then let's go, two hundred guan to buy a house and a house, it's enough to do anything!" ”

Saying that, Wu Wenshi pulled Zhao Jian and was about to leave, but Zhao Jian didn't want to go, he felt that this old man Wang might really have exam questions, and he wouldn't be a liar, the liar should make every effort to let himself buy it, how could he push himself out, this is not logical!

When Old Man Wang saw that Wu Wenshi was leaving, he immediately said: "Hurry up, don't waste time with me, whoever has exam questions, you can go to whomever you want, don't bother me at my house!" ”

As he spoke, he also vigorously pushed Wu Wenshi and Zhao Jian and pushed them out of the door, but Zhao Jian refused to go out, and the old man Wang really couldn't push him, Wu Wenshi went out directly, it can be seen that Zhao Jian didn't leave, he had to come back and pull Zhao Jian out.

At this moment, someone suddenly ran over in the backyard, it was a young man, he shouted: "Father, grandfather, his old man vomited blood again, the medicine is finished, I have to go and grab the medicine, father, do you have money, one dose of medicine is consistent, you have to grab three doses in a row to make it, and you have to buy some supplements, I'm afraid it will take three and a half to complete!" ”

Old Man Wang didn't care about pushing Zhao Jian anymore, and said hurriedly: "Why did you vomit blood again, you wait, I'll get the money!" He walked quickly to the backyard and ignored Zhao Jian and Wu Wenshi.

The young man agreed, looked at Zhao Jian, and saw Wu Wenshi again, he sighed and said, "Brother Wu, why are you here?" ”

Wu Wenshi sighed, and said in a few words that he came here to ask for exam questions, and he was willing to spend money to buy them, and after the young man heard this, he saw his expression quite interested, his father was unwilling to sell, but he was willing, and it seemed like this.

The young man said, "My father never told anyone what the test question was, nor did he tell me. However, even if you know the exam questions, it's useless, you have to have the ability to make an article, and you have to do better than others, that's also very difficult, anyway, I have a headache when I look at the book! ”

Zhao Jian was heaved in his heart, this young man must be a person who can't read, think about it, he is just the son of a housekeeper, and he can be a housekeeper like his father, which is the biggest talent, and his mind can't be put on reading, of course he can't understand what it means to know the exam questions in advance.

Zhao Jian asked, "Is your grandfather sick?" ”

The young man nodded and said, "Yes, I have been sick for many years, and this time it is serious again, I don't know if I can get through it, but the medicine I took is too expensive, and I have almost spent all my family savings, and this house is going to be mortgaged out, and I will exchange money for my grandfather's medical treatment!" ”

He looked around, looked at the small mansion, and sighed again: "If there is no house, where will the family live, will my grandfather's condition worsen after he is tossed, alas!" ”

Zhao Jian asked, "If you want to cure your grandfather's illness, how much silver will you need?" ”

The young man shook his head and said, "The bottomless pit, it's not counted!" However, it seems that if you want to survive until the end of the year, you will have to have at least two hundred and fifty times, and it can't be less! ”

When Wu Wenshi heard this, he also shook his head, and said: "I think that even if you have thousands of family wealth, such a cure will cost you a lot, and this is only by the end of the year, you will have to pay two hundred and fifty yuan, if you survive for a few more years, your family is afraid that you will have to borrow usury, and it is estimated that your son's generation will not be able to pay it back!" ”

The young man said, "He is a grandfather, as long as we can afford to spend money, we have to save him, we can't watch him can't do it!" ”

Wu Wenshi nodded and said, "That's right, it's just that I'm suffering you!" ”

Zhao Jian didn't squeak, but thought in his heart: "He has a patient at home, he is in a hurry to use money, at least two hundred and fifty yuan, which is fifty times more than I expected, but I don't know what kind of disease it is, I want to take such an expensive medicine, good guy, I always pay for a dose of medicine, this can be said to be a rich disease!" ”

He touched his chest, he wore a fine jade pendant, which was probably worth twenty or thirty yuan, plus his own two ingots of gold, it could reach about one hundred and fifty yuan, plus the one hundred yuan that Quanshu Fang borrowed from him, it is estimated that it can be so-so!

Two hundred guan is not willing to sell, two hundred and fifty guan, then the old man Wang should be able to agree, right?

Zhao Jian really hoped that he would agree!

At this time, the old man Wang walked out from behind, holding about the same copper coin in his hand, handed it to the young man, and said: "There is so much money at home, you take it and grab a dose of medicine first, I will go to Lang Jun's mansion and ask Lang Jun to think of a way!" ”

The young man took the money, but said: "Lang Jun is a Qing official, and he doesn't have any money at home, and he has borrowed it several times, but it is estimated that he really can't borrow it." Otherwise, let's sell this house and raise money to come out and take medicine for my grandfather's illness! ”

The old man Wang looked at this small mansion, his eyes were full of reluctance, it seemed that this was an ancestral house, it belonged to his father, and now in order to treat his father's illness, he was going to sell his father's house!

Zhao Jian was also very moved when he saw this scene, this old man Wang is a filial son, and he is particularly concerned about his father's condition, so he can make a fuss about it, he said: "Uncle Wang, why don't I use it to give me two hundred and fifty times, you showed me the exam questions of the Jinshi Subject, how about it?" ”

The young man was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Father, if there are two hundred and fifty yuan, then grandfather's medicine fee will be settled, you can talk to this benevolent brother about that exam question!" ”

Old Man Wang's face was full of hesitation, but he still shook his head, it seemed that he still didn't want to leak the exam questions, he should know that leaking the exam questions was a serious crime!

The young man said: "Our family has no money, and there is no place to borrow, and everyone who can borrow has asked us to borrow it several times, except for selling the house, I don't think there is much I can do, but if my grandfather leaves home and goes somewhere else, even if he has money to give him medicine, it is estimated that he will die of anger just when he is angry!" ”

"What the hell, what a, talking nonsense!" Old Man Wang reprimanded, but looking at his appearance, he seemed to be very shaken.

At this time, Zhao Jian spoke, and he said: "Forget it, if you really don't sell it, I won't force it, and I'll leave!" He turned and walked out the door.

Wu Wenshi and the young man shouted together: "It's important to cure the disease, or sell the exam questions!" ”

Old Man Wang stomped his feet and said, "Okay, okay, then sell it, but two hundred and fifty yuan requires cash, and credit is not good!" ”

Zhao Jian was overjoyed, the old man Wang was finally willing to sell, it was not easy, if it wasn't for the fact that he had a patient at home and urgently needed money to buy medicine, it was estimated that the old man Wang would still refuse to sell, but this is the best, lest the old man Wang buy it for himself, and then sell it to others, the more people who sell, the less cost-effective it will be for him to buy the question.

Zhao Jian was afraid that the old man Wang would return, so he took out the gold from his arms, as well as his own jade pendant, and stuffed it into the old man's hand together, and said, "What about the exam questions, bring them to me!" ”

Old man Wang sighed, asked the young man to bring a pen and paper, he wrote the title of Jinshike on the paper, folded it, handed the note to Zhao Jian, and then said: "These topics are what I saw, I will give them to you now, take the topic, you should leave quickly, lest I regret it!" ”

Zhao Jian thought to himself: "It's too late for you to regret it now, as long as I take a look, I will keep it in mind, and I don't have to buy your exam questions anymore." ”

He just wanted to open the note and look at the exam questions, but was stopped by Wu Wenshi and said, "This is not good, you can't read it here, what if you want to regret it after reading it and ask for money back?" Let's talk about it outside! ”

The young man also said, "Let's go out and see!" ”

Wu Wenshi and the young man left and right, took Zhao Jian out of the courtyard, and when they arrived outside the gate, the young man closed the door, and Wu Wenshi said: "Can you see it now?" ”

Zhao Jian hummed and said, "If you don't watch it again, then I really don't want it!" ”

He opened the note and saw the exam questions inside, there were more than one exam questions in it, there were several, mainly Shi Ce, but these questions were relatively trivial, and even the last big question was how to adjust the prices in Chang'an, so that the people could eat meat often!

Zhao Jiandao: "This, what's going on, how can it be such a topic, shouldn't it be that kind of Liaodong question, or southwest question, how can it be the price of Chang'an, it's really hard to believe!" ”

This kind of question should be something that only women care about, the imperial court scientific examination, what a serious matter, how to get out that little thing in the vegetable basket, this exam question won't be fake, right?

Zhao Jian really had an impulse at this time, he wanted to return the goods, he didn't want to buy this exam question, it was too unstellary!
