A copy of "Renzong's Past Dynasties Jinshi Scientific Examination Solution", Shen Yun took five days to finish copying.

It wasn't that his speed was short-lived, but that he had spent much more time studying the book than he had copied it. After five days, Shen Yun thought that he had a preliminary understanding of the articles of these dozens of Jinshi.

Even for the future of scientific research, there is a great understanding.

The next time he sent the solution test, Shen Yun didn't feel that he would be dethroned again.

When the book was put down and he breathed a sigh of relief in his hand, Shen Yun smiled and wrapped the thick pile of paper in his hand with burlap paper.

This book is too thick, and these things in my own home can't be beautifully bound at all. I had to take it back to the city and ask the old butler to find someone to help.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, eight days have passed. Shen Yun did not delay in the slightest, and finally on the morning of the ninth day, he packed up all the books and prepared to enter the city to send them to Na Fan's house.

Sending the silver bottle out to play, Shen's mother walked to Shen Yun's house, took out the scattered silver, and handed it to Shen Yun: "Child, when you get to the city, you can pull a few more feet of cloth." ”

Shen Yun wondered, the original fabric was enough for the two of them, wouldn't it be too ostentatious to buy some more?

Seeing Shen Yun's puzzled face, Shen's mother smiled, glanced at the courtyard with a little pampering, and seemed to be able to see the silver bottle squatting under the tree to pick up leaves: "In a few days, you will send the silver bottle back to Ningxi Fort." ”

"Your sister's family is not having a good time this year, so I pulled a few feet of cloth and sent them over so that they could fill their clothes for the family. During the Chinese New Year, I saw that your brother-in-law's pants were still a big hole. ”

Shen Yun nodded and took the silver.

I have the impression that the eldest sister Shen Gui is a woman who can endure hardships.

It's just that after getting married, Zhu Aming's family is not much different from his own family. Moreover, the two brothers of the Zhu family, Zhu Aming's father favored his youngest son Zhu Aliang, so that the two separated their families as soon as they got married, leaving only eight acres of dry land for Zhu Aming.

The two couples gave birth to a silver bottle, and eight years ago gave birth to a boy named Zhu Jinhui. At this moment, there are more mouths for food in the family, and the guards in the field can still feed the family if they are older. If the age is not good, it will be like Shen Yun's family.

The family lives tightly, and counting the eccentric old parents who come to ask for food from time to time, if it weren't for the brother-in-law's farming season and being able to do some mason things, life would definitely be difficult and tight.

Shen Yun is not a stingy person, he suddenly has more than one or two silver, although he still has to take care of the family, but a little fabric will not be placed in his heart.

Wrapped the burden again with tung oil cloth, Shen Yuncai politely refused the request of the silver bottle to go to the city together, and walked to Chengji County alone.

Nariki Prefecture is as calm as ever.

Shen Yun walked into the city, and suddenly remembered that he had promised the old housekeeper that day, and he would bring his own seal today.

There are many places in the city to make a living like this, and the most common is the calligraphy and painting shop. It is said to be selling calligraphy and paintings, but in fact, it is also a livelihood for scholarly utensils and literati supplies. Walking into a shop at random, I heard the shopkeeper politely ask:

"Childe is here, why is it coming? Our store has excellent lake pens, good rice paper, and top ink, if you want to inkstone, our store can also get it for the child. ”

These pieces are all utensils that the scribes quite admired.

However, the little silver in Shen Yun's hand is still waiting for the county to use it when the tax is levied, how dare he spend so much.

"I want the shopkeeper to cure the seal for me, I don't know if it's possible?"

Yin Xin and other things, the store is naturally sold, and the shopkeeper smiled very happily: "I don't know what materials Gongzi needs, talc, jade or soft copper?" ”

Without thinking about it, Shen Yun replied: "Talc, I'm going to use it now." ”

Compared with soft copper and jade, talc engraving can be completed in only one or two moments. If it is a hard jade, it will be a day or two. Not to mention the scarce soft copper, I am afraid that it will take several days to collect the materials.

Even if it is a small business, the shopkeeper does not show a trace of impatience.

This is the case with the calligraphy and painting shop, some people come here and only buy a proclamation of three or four cents, or only buy a piece of pine smoke ink, but it can accumulate over time, and it is also a big deal.

Sure enough, it was all kinds of skilled hands, and the shopkeeper took a piece of talc with a green appearance, which just made Shen Yun think of the font size, but in just a moment, he carved a few lines of Kaiyang text on the low end of the talc.

As if feeling a little confused, I took another knife and hooked a few small flowers at the top of the talc, according to the color of the talc. He also took a flat knife and carved a paper pattern around it.

The exquisite appearance made Shen Yun secretly call a good word.

After completing all this, I took a pattern of ink rubbing, and the words "Longjian Bannong" jumped on the paper. The shopkeeper handed the seal and rubbing to Shen Yun, and then said slowly: "Fifty yuan." ”

Shen Yun was secretly speechless.

Well, that's almost the price of eight liters of rice.

However, after all, he has to pay this money, and it is estimated that he will accompany him for a lifetime. Although talc is cheap, the shopkeeper's handwork is not cheap.

He took out the scattered copper coins from his bosom, counted them, and pushed them to the counter, and Shen Yun continued to walk towards Fan's Mansion with two things in his arms.

Every time he came to the door of Fan's mansion, Shen Yun was shocked by this luxury. In later generations, such a house could only exist in various protected areas and private clubs.

If you want to say that it is built by an individual, it is estimated that the land on which the house is built can be reviewed for several years. Not to mention the green bricks that have been rarely fired, as well as the intricate wood carvings and paintings.

Knock on the door, and in the blink of an eye, the door will show its head.

Seeing that it was Shen Yun coming over, he directly gave a thumbs up and praised: "I heard Uncle Quan say a few days ago that Shen Gongzi wants to copy five books, and there are several thick things. I don't want to be among the four people, but it was Shen Gongzi who was the first to come. ”

Shen Yun was a little strange: "Then Lu Fang didn't come?" ”

"Lu Gongzi asked someone to say that he is going to visit many nobles in the state capital in the past few days, and he will inevitably send the "Tao Te Ching" before going to Beijing. As for the other two, they haven't heard from them, and they are still copying books. ”

Shen Yun said secretly, this Lu Fang is really a little arrogant. Since it was agreed that it would be delivered within ten days, he still took the silver in advance, and he dared to delay it like this. If you spread it, you are not afraid of ruining your reputation.

Nodding, Shen Yun was taken to the study where he had been before, and after serving tea at the door, he hurried to find the old butler.

Sniffing the refreshing aroma of tea, taking a few sips, footsteps sounded outside the door.

As soon as Shen Yun got up, the old housekeeper had already walked in, and when he saw Shen Yun, he said with a regretful face: "My master only came when Shen Gongzi came after tomorrow, and today I asked a few old friends to hold a poetry meeting outside the city." ”

Seeing Shen Gongzi's words, the old man was really happy that he didn't fall asleep all night, and he was staring at Gongzi's words. The next day, his eyes were red, and he still fell asleep on the couch with his arms in his arms. When I went to the poetry club today, I still took it with me, saying that it was to open the eyes of his old friends. ”

"The boy is frightened, and he should not be so valued by the head of the family. Fortunately, this time I came to copy all the previous books, and I thought it would be in vain for the old man's kindness. ”

"Really, it's all copied?"

The old butler looked stunned.

He did value Shen Yun more among the four, so most of the books given to Shen Yun were used in scientific expeditions. I don't want Shen Yun to finish copying it so quickly, but I'm afraid that my intentions will be in vain.

Shen Yun nodded: "Not only did I finish copying it, but I also remembered it." The lord of the family is really powerful, not only there are a lot of rare books here, but also this "Renzong Past Dynasties Jinshi Scientific Examination", if it is not for some relationship in the court, how can it fall to a remote place like Qinzhou. ”

"What do you think of Han Zihua Han Mansion Yin?"

Shen Yun was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that this was the old man testing himself. nodded, recalled Han Jiang's article in the second year of Qingli, and replied: "Han Gong is an upright person, decisive in case of trouble, and has the ability to slaughter and assist. ”

The old man smiled: "If Han Zihua knew that someone would evaluate him like this, he would definitely be happy to think about it." However, if he knows that the reviewer is a junior, he will inevitably find you desperately. ”

A joke shows that the old man does not have much respect for Han Jiang, who is now the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion.

But apparently he was very satisfied with Shen Yun's hard work.

It takes a lot of effort to be able to make a fairly fair evaluation of a person through a person's article.

And in Shen Wang's heart, he became more and more curious about who the owner of this family was. I don't even have much impression in the memory of my predecessor, and it's really mysterious to the extreme.

Since it was the old housekeeper in front of him, Shen Yun didn't delay it any longer, opened the burden on the table, took out four bound books from it very preciously, and handed them to the old man.

"These are four books with relatively little content, but Shen Yun can bind one or two on his behalf."

The old man opened the book, glanced at it casually, and saw that the whole book was full of ordinary handwriting, not even a little scribbled, and looked at Shen Yun's eyes, becoming more and more satisfied.

Flipping through four books in a row, looking at the thin gold body that had not missed the cover, the old man smiled: "Now that the master is back, I don't know how many days and nights it will be a few days and nights before I close my eyes." There's another one, which I've given you at the risk, so don't lose it. ”

It was the divine book that Shen Yun had identified.

Shen Yun handed over a thick pile of paper wrapped in burlap paper.

"It's too thick, and the tools at home don't look good after all, so it's better to leave it to the craftsmen in the city to make it."

Then he took out the original and put it on the table: "If it weren't for the generosity of the old gentleman, how could Shen Yun be so instructed." If you are as ignorant as before, don't say that the next scientific examination will be three or five more exams, and you can still only plough the sky at home. ”

Shen Yun's respectful attitude obviously made the old man very comfortable, and after reading a few pages of the open book, he said with a smile: "If there are damaged books at home in the future, I will still ask you to make up for it." ”
