"What do you say?!?!" Jiang Liushu was shocked: "You, you unambitious guy! In vain, I thought you were the dragon among men, and I sincerely befriended you! ”

He paused slightly and asked, "That, that, what questions you asked, I answered so seriously, but you disdainful of them, but you are playing tricks on me?" ”

Zeng Guangxi smiled sullenly and asked a little apologetically, "Are you very serious about writing?" ”

Jiang Liu was stunned, how could there be such a person in the world?

Shen Kang frowned slightly and asked, "Why is Brother Zeng so short of money?" ”

Zeng Guangxi smiled and said, "Didn't you listen to Butterfly Dance?" My consumption in Fuhualou this month is not low, ordinary people only use a few taels of silver a year, which is not worth my monthly expenses. ”

Wang Lucao smiled slightly, slowly shook the folding fan, and asked, "Is this this vulgar thing that you brought me to see?" ”

Shen Kang and Jiang Liuchou seemed to have met Bao'er, but they didn't expect that the true face of this Bao'er would be like this.

The two were disappointed and sad, needless to say.

Zeng Guangxi looked at the reactions of the three of them, smiled slightly, and asked, "What else in the world is better than having fun in time and doing everything as you like?" ”

He chuckled and asked, "The three of you, at a young age, don't look down on people like this, it's not a good thing. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Let me ask you, what is your imperial examination for?" ”

He smiled lowly, and continued: "Don't talk to me about the nonsense of being loyal to the country and serving the court, I don't believe it." ”

He looked at Jiang Liusu with a smile and said, "You are from a high-ranking family, but there are no talents in the family, you are taking the imperial examination, not to prosper the family?" ”

"I—" Jiang Liuxuan wanted to retort.

Zeng Guangxi turned his eyes contemptuously at Wang Lucao, and asked with a smile: "Your background is more noble, Taicang Wang, hehe, isn't it for the family's expectations that you took the imperial examination?" ”

Wang Lucao frowned slightly, his eyes were fixed on him, and he didn't speak.

"As for your ......" he looked at Shen Kang and said with a smile: "You, from a humble background, aren't you taking the imperial examination to change your fate?" ”

He snorted coldly, laughed, and said: "I have no parents, no sisters, I have an embarrassing life, and I like to call friends to drink and have fun. ”

He smiled and said, "I don't understand, it's all with a purpose, why is my purpose lower than yours?" I am a layman, a vulgar, a vulgar, a vulgar, and where are you taller than me? Since ancient times, making friends has been a casual thing, and it has become my fault that you didn't find out who I am, so you want to make friends with all your heart? Your disappointment comes from your expectations of me, but isn't this expectation your own problem? Have I ever eaten one of your rice and one soup? Why should you three boys be accused of contempt? ”

In this way, it is really Shen Kang and Jiang Liuchou's own problem......

Zeng Guangxi said with a smile: "Besides, what you wrote, I did read it carefully, the thinking is too rigid, and the writing is average, doing things like learning is to find another way and be the microphone of that person, what's the point?" ”

Jiang Liuchou raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. also said that my thinking is not very broad. ”

Wang Lucao replied: "Although the thinking is not broad, the literary talent can still be used to remedy, and it is not useless. ”

"Yes!" Zeng Guangxi picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth, then swallowed the tea directly, and continued: "That's right, yes, especially this calligraphy, as long as you take out the name of Luming Sanjie, it may be worth ten taels of silver, and no matter how bad it is, it can be sold for three taels of silver." The price of calligraphy and painting is not easy to say, it depends on luck, but also depends on whether the person who buys it is generous, but generally speaking, people who are willing to pay money to buy calligraphy and painting have a generous hand. ”

Jiang Liusu heard that his words could only be sold for ten taels of silver, and he felt very uncomfortable, thinking that he Jiang Liusu was worth 1,800 taels as soon as he made a move, why was the words he wrote worth ten taels of silver?

Babbitt!

Philistine!

Jiang Liu's evaluation of Zeng Guangxi in his heart was only described by these two words.

Shen Kang smiled and said, "It seems that we are full and don't know that the hungry are hungry, Brother Zeng, offended." ”

Zeng Guangxi shook his head and said, "Those who abandon me cannot stay yesterday." Those who disturb my heart will have many troubles today. Anyone who doesn't like me, why should I care? ”

Shen Kang smiled slightly and said, "But now that you have been admitted to the top of the academy examination, do you still want to take the imperial examination?" ”

Zeng Guangxi paused slightly, and said, "Exam, didn't you listen to the butterfly dance girl?" I owe more and more debts, if I can't get the calligraphy and paintings to sell at a higher price, how can I exchange them for wine? ”

Shen Kang smiled and said, "The kid doesn't refute, many people have their own reasons for scientific examinations, but, I think, there are still one or two people who take the examination for the country." After all, there are many ways to carry forward the family, or change your fate, or make money, in addition to the imperial examination. If you choose the imperial examination, you can do those things and then focus on saving the country and the people, which is not a conflict. ”

"But if you only want to make money, Brother Zeng, younger brother take the liberty of persuading the monarch to give up the imperial examination as soon as possible." Shen Kang smiled, and continued: "Brother Zeng's talent can be ranked first in a big province like Fengyang Mansion, and he will definitely be able to get a higher reputation in the future. ”

Jiang Liushu paused slightly, thinking to himself, Shen Kang, this kid has a deep thought. He said so much to Zeng Guangxi, it shouldn't just be to persuade Zeng Guangxi not to take the imperial examination anymore, right?

Don't... He wants to take Zeng Guangxi and let him go to Qamdo to do business for them?

Jiang Liuxuan turned his eyes to look at Shen Kang, wanting to ask, but it was inconvenient.

Zeng Guangxi smiled and asked, "I love money, but it's just for a sip of wine, and no matter how much silver I have, I don't need it." ”

Jiang Liuxuan smiled and said, "In the future, if your classmates want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas to accompany wine?" ”

Zeng Guangxi frowned slightly and asked, "That's right." ”

Butterfly Dance came back with the wine, stood at the door and listened to the four of them for a while, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but push the door in.

"Zeng Yuanhui, if you can change your habit of spending lavishly, maybe you don't have to sell so many calligraphy and paintings."

Shen Kang smiled and said, "What the butterfly dance girl said is right, this thing is rare and expensive, and if you have more, it will be worthless." ”

At this moment, Zeng Guangxi seemed to see that in the future, everyone in Fengyang Mansion used his calligraphy and paintings to pad the table legs, his calligraphy and paintings were no longer valuable, he stood in the bustling crowd, regardless of the wind and rain, but he could no longer sell a calligraphy and painting.
