Not only shopkeeper Yang and Manager He were stunned, they could understand the relationship, but at most it was only a few hundred taels of silver, but this young man actually gave away gems worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, and it was the first time they met, which made them feel incredible.

Qi Fengwu bit her lip, her face was a little unnatural, she didn't expect that it would be such a result, Wu Jin actually wanted to give more than 10,000 taels of silver gems to his grandfather for his birthday, was he sincere? She was very suspicious, this Wujin was very cunning, he knew that his father would not accept it, so he deliberately made a gesture, it must be so.

Qi Mao laughed, Wu Jin's generosity surprised him a little, Wu Jin and the Qi family did not have this kind of friendship, he shouldn't be so generous, but Qi Mao understood in a blink of an eye that Wu Jin must have guessed from his daughter's words just now that the Qi family had discovered that the silver ticket was related to him, so he borrowed this box of gems to make a statement.

It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of attitude, he just apologized to the Qi family, he had no intention of infringing on the Qi family, Qi Mao also secretly praised this young man for being smart, he exchanged a look with Wu Jin, and the hearts of the two sides were exchanged, no need to say more.

It's just that this box of gems, Qi Mao will not accept it for free, he is a businessman after all, apologies are apologies, and business is business.

Wu Jin is the same, of course he will not give the gem to Qi Mao, he is not generous to a certain extent, he is just borrowing the gem to express his apology, the fake silver ticket, he has no intention of infringing on the interests of the Qi family.

Both parties have understood, and the congratulatory gift will not be mentioned again, Qi Mao smiled slightly and said: "Childe's heart, I received it, but the Qi family has its own rules and does not accept birthday gifts outside, so I still buy this box of gems, 20,000 taels of silver, Childe may accept it?" ”

Wu Jin also smiled, "Since the Qi family has rules, then I will change it to give gifts to the door, it doesn't matter how much it is, as long as these gems can solve my uncle's urgent needs." ”

That is to say, he agreed to this price, Qi Mao took out an envelope, put it on the table and pushed it to Wu Jin, looked at Wu Jin's eyes, and said seriously: "Here are twenty Qi Dafu silver tickets, all of them are one thousand taels of votes, ten thousand taels of silver tickets Qi family has stopped using them, and it is guaranteed to be a real silver ticket with seven colored stripes, and Wu Jin can be inspected on the spot." ”

Wu Jin didn't look at it, he took the envelope and put it in his arms, he also smiled slightly, "There is no Qi Dafu fake silver ticket in the world, I don't have to look at it." ”

Qi Fengwu next to her was obviously not skilled enough, and she didn't see that her father had a wordless exchange with Wu Jin, she still thought that Wu Jin was a kind of hypocrisy, and pretended to be generous, no, his father resigned slightly, and he took it back, this kind of person has no sincerity.

The key is that she has always had prejudices against Wu Jin, thinking that he is lustful and greedy, and now with a hypocrisy, it is difficult for Wu Jin to change her own prejudices.

She sneered, disdainful of Wu Jin, but Qi Mao had a good impression of Wu Jin, this young man did something and didn't do something, brought a box of gems into Beijing to make a profit, but he didn't take it to heart that he could fake the real Qi Dafu silver ticket, this is the most valuable quality of a businessman, and business also has a way.

Of course, it can't be because Wu Jin showed a trace of apology, the matter of fake silver tickets is over, Qi Mao has to continue to go deep with Wu Jin, who made the fake silver tickets, and what should I do in the future? These must be put into practice.

Qi Mao took out an invitation card, wrote down Wu Jin's name, handed it to him and said with a smile: "The Qi family officially invites the son to attend the birthday banquet, August 16, please come." ”

Wu Jin didn't shirk either, took the invitation and smiled, "I must come to participate!" ”

He stood up, glanced at Qi Fengwu again, leaned over and nodded slightly to her, "Miss Fengwu, then we'll see you on our birthday." ”

He said hello to Qi Mao and the shopkeeper of Jubaolou, and then turned to leave, Qi Mao looked at Wu Jin's back with his hands behind his back and disappeared, thinking secretly in his heart, this young man is good, he doesn't want to be as bad as Feng Wu said, if he is willing to do things for Qi Ruifu, it is not bad.

．．．．．．．． Wu Jin walked downstairs and turned around, but he didn't see the shadow of the jewel, and the guy at the door ran forward and gave him a note, "This is left by the county lord to Gongzi, she seems to have met a friend, so she left first." ”

Wu Jin took the note and opened it, only to see a line of words written crookedly on it, "When you see a close friend in the boudoir, take a step first." ”

Wu Jin smiled, she actually has a close friend in her boudoir, which is interesting, and she writes too poorly, she should practice it well.

In fact, there is no jewel, no Jin is more free, he has 20,000 taels of silver in his hand to lay the base, and he is a lot more confident in his heart, he is a person who can't have no money on his body, he has developed a habit in his previous life, if he has no money on his body, he will feel uncomfortable, and he is not confident in his heart, although he is now a plum blossom guard captain, but this habit has been difficult to change.

Now with 20,000 taels of silver, the mood is completely different, first of all, he wants to buy a house, this is what he promised the Chen brothers and sisters, but he almost doesn't know anything about the capital, what house to buy, what price, he doesn't have a clue, maybe Baozhu can help him.

But after thinking about it again, what market can she know about a royal lady like Baozhu? Or go to Tianxing tomorrow, or go to Meihuawei to find other captains and ask.

While thinking about it, he unconsciously walked to the east exit of Nanshi, there is a stationery and book area, most of which sell pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, but there are also a few bookstores, Wujin suddenly remembered "The Monkey King", which is selling well in Donghai County, I don't know if the capital is a bestseller?

He happily walked into the bookstore, only to see that the bookstore area is very large, like two basketball courts, densely filled with all kinds of books, because the imperial examination is about to begin, the bookstore is crowded with scholars who come to buy books, but the bookstore is very quiet, everyone is reading their own books, and occasionally someone whispers to each other.

Wu Jin was not interested in the books for the exam, he was looking for children's books, but he couldn't find them after looking around, when a guy saw that he was looking for books, so he came up and laughed in a low voice: "Childe needs help?" ”

"Do children read any books?"

"Yes! Childe, please come with me. ”

The guy led him to a relatively empty corner, where there were really some books that children read, but they were all enlightenment and the like, he swept his eyes for a long time and didn't see Journey to the West, and asked the guy, "There is a copy of "The Monkey King's Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", is it sold here?" ”

"You mean the book!"

The guy scratched his head and said: "It was sold a month and a half ago, and it was selling quite well, but soon the government will not allow it to be sold, and all the stored books will be taken away by the government, and now there is no bookstore in the capital that sells them." ”

'Take it away! Wu Jin was stunned, "Why is this?" "I don't know!"

The guy shook his head, "Anyway, it's [***], the government is not allowed to sell it, it's as simple as that." ”

The news that "The Monkey King" was banned made Wujin extremely disappointed, he probably guessed one or two, and it is estimated that the havoc in the Heavenly Palace is a bit of an allusion to the current imperial court, so it was banned, how happened to the nine days?

Today is the third day of his entry into Beijing, and he originally wanted to stabilize in a few days and go to visit Jiutian again, but when he heard that the book was banned, his heart suddenly hung up, and his heart was full of worries about Jiutian.

After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to go and see Nine Heavens first.

Jiutian is the granddaughter of the country's priest Su Xun, she naturally lives in Su Mansion, Wu Jin found out from the mouth of the bookstore shopkeeper where Su Mansion is, not too far from here, in An Congfang.

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Jin rode to Ancongfang, about 300 households in the workshop, he saw an old man selling baked cakes on the side of the road, so he stepped forward and asked with a smile: "May I ask the old man, where is the mansion of Lord Jiu Su, the priest of the country?" ”

The old man pointed to a mansion in the distance, "See, that mansion is Su Mansion!" ”

He laughed again: "Young man, let's participate in the imperial examination this year!" Many people have come to Mr. Su, it's useless, Mr. Su never talks about personal feelings, so let's go back and study hard! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Wu Jin arched his hand and smiled slightly, "I'm not a scholar, so I'm not looking for Master Su." ”

He led the horse and walked towards Su Mansion, and the old man who sold baked cakes shook his head with a smile, "It's really interesting that this young man still wants to save face." ”

Su Mansion covers a large area, there are more than 30 acres, the high wall compound, the shade of the trees in the courtyard is dense, there are 36 copper nails on the vermilion lacquer gate, which shows the emperor's attention to the Su family.

Su Xun has served as the country's son of the priest wine for nearly ten years, and also has the title of county earl, the status of the Daning Dynasty is quite high, his mansion has also lived for more than ten years, the year before last the emperor wanted to give Su Xun a new house, but Su Xun was reluctant to leave the house where he had lived for a long time, the emperor ordered to give him five thousand taels of silver to renovate the old house, now, although the tree is tall and dense, but the Su Mansion has been renewed, there is no dilapidated meaning.

In front of the door is more than a dozen steps, under the steps wandering more than 20 scholars, although this year the imperial court has not officially announced who the examiner is, but many discerning people have guessed that this year is the first year of the imperial examination reform, the emperor is very likely to appoint the oldest qualified, the most experienced Su Xun as the chief examiner, so many scholars have come to Su Mansion to try their luck, although there will be no results, but they always feel that closer to Su Mansion, maybe they can get a little clue.

This idea is not unfounded, three years ago in the Ming Jing examination, the examiner Han Zhijian was surrounded by scholars when he returned home, he inadvertently said a historical allusion, many scholars went back to find relevant classics, the result of the exam theme is really related to that allusion, many scholars because of high school, although Han Zhijian was dismissed afterwards, but the results of the exam have been irretrievable.

There are lessons from the past, so it has become the consensus of many people to find a way to surround the examiner before the exam, there are only more than 20 people today, but once the examiner is announced, thousands of scholars will gather in front of the Su Mansion, which is inevitable.

Wu Jin led the horse and stood in front of the steps, he was a little worried, he asked the porter to report for him, but the porter did not see anyone at all, and there was a big wooden sign at the door, on which were written 'Do not disturb visitors' four big words.

After waiting for a long time, no one came in or out, and then Wu Jin suddenly woke up and should go to the side door, and at this time, the Su family should all enter and exit through the side door.

He immediately led his horse to the side gate, which was also on the same street, and to his disappointment, there were also five or six scholars standing in front of the side gate, and there was also a large wooden sign.

Helpless, he had no choice but to leave, but just as he was about to leave, a crisp and surprising voice came from behind him, "Brother Wujin, is it you?" ”

．．．．．．．
