Chapter 14. Autumn County Test (I).

After leaving the "Chongwen Bookstore", on the way home, among the pedestrians, Xiao Mo and Wang Jirui walked one after the other. (This book is reproduced from the Pick-up Literature Network)

Among them, Xiao Mo had a smile on his face, but Wang Jirui's expression was a little dazed, and he still couldn't believe that Xiao Mo could really sell that story for thirty yuan, and he could get another two hundred yuan afterwards.

For Wang Jirui, who has never seen any money, thirty times is already an astronomical number.

Turning his head to look at Wang Jirui's expression, Xiao Mo suddenly smiled slightly and asked, "Ji Rui, what are you thinking?" ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's inquiry, Wang Jirui finally came to his senses, his expression was a little excited, and he said to Xiao Mo: "Young master, with so much money, you don't have to worry about money anymore, and you will have the money to enter Beijing to participate in the palace examination in the future!" Also, the fourth master doesn't have to go to those people's houses to be a teacher!! ”

Hearing Wang Jirui's words, Xiao Mo couldn't help but be moved in his heart, this Wang Jirui at this time, all he thought of was Xiao Mo himself and Xiao Shenyan.

"You should be happier." Xiao Mo said with a smile: "With this money, not only will it be, but you can also participate in the imperial examination with me." ”

Listening to Xiao Mo's words, Wang Jirui seemed to have just thought of this, and his steps paused, looking at Xiao Mo in a daze.

"I told you, I want you to participate in the imperial examination with me, so naturally you will be the talker."

Xiao Mo nodded at Wang Jirui and said.

Wang Jirui didn't thank Xiao Mo for his actions, but he was very strange on the way home, as if he was excited and moved, and his crying and laughing expressions were entangled between his eyebrows.

It wasn't until he returned to the small courtyard of the three that Wang Jirui's expression finally returned to normal, but he still didn't thank Xiao Mo, but his hands and feet were much sharper and lighter than before.

Xiao Moxian, he is indeed a layman, I am afraid that he will not be able to reach the realm of a literati who treats money as a "blockage" in this life.

When he had no money before, Xiao Mo only felt that the air around him was boring. Now that I have money, I have a kind of high and refreshing comfort, and even the efficiency of reading and practicing calligraphy is much higher. Others are "reading more than 10,000 volumes, and writing like a god", but when they came to Xiao Mo, they became "with a hundred dollars in their pockets, and they wrote like a god".

On the way, I bought some wine and food in the hotel, including the tenderloin that Xiao Mo likes to eat, the Sixi balls that Wang Jirui likes to eat, and the baby cabbage that Xiao Shenyan likes to eat, and a full table is set.

Next to the wine and food, there was a package containing more than 29 yuan of money left over by Xiao Mo after buying the wine and food.

Thinking of Xiao Shenyan's surprised expression after returning, thinking that Xiao Shenyan would no longer beg to be the disdainful teacher in the future because of himself and money, and thinking of Wang Jirui's excited and moved look along the way, Xiao Mo felt that even if he became a layman, it would be worth it.

However, there are some places that deviate from Xiao Mo's imagination.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On this day, when Xiao Shenyan returned, it was already dark, in order to make more money, and Xiao Mo gradually stopped worrying about him, but the time for him to come back these days was getting later and later.

And when Xiao Shenyan entered the room and saw the meals on the table and the large amount of money placed next to it, he was really surprised, and asked Xiao Mo in a hurry, "Mo'er, what is going on?" ”

Xiao Mo smiled and told Xiao Shenyan about writing and selling books.

Xiao Shenyan had also heard of the various reactions caused by the story of "Immortal Dao Quest", but he never thought that this story was written by Xiao Mo, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

However, what was waiting for Xiao Mo next was not Xiao Shenyan's praise, but Xiao Shenyan's first rebuke to Xiao Mo in the past six months.

"Confused!!" I only heard Xiao Shenyan reprimand in front of Xiao Mo in a low voice: "I thought you were a child who knew how to be steady, and you were relieved to let yourself make some decisions these days, but how could you do such a foolish thing!" I know that your current knowledge is enough to cope with the county examination, and even the state examination has the possibility of a try, but the road to the imperial examination is difficult, and there are countless talented people in the world, and we scholars only think that we don't have enough time? How can you spend all your time on these side paths? ”

Xiao Mogang wanted to say something, but listened to Xiao Shenyan continue: "The most important thing is that once the matter of writing this story is known to others, once your identity is known to Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's people, once your actions cause the disgust of too many readers, and once your examiner is dissatisfied with your behavior in the future, what kind of consequences will it cause, have you thought about it?" ”

Hearing Xiao Shenyan say this, Xiao Mo simply stopped defending, and just let Xiao Shenyan reprimand.

"I know your idea is good, you can't bear to let the fourth grandfather suffer, but have you ever thought that all the suffering that the fourth grandfather and I have suffered is so that you can participate in the imperial examination smoothly and gain fame!! If you do this, you will certainly be able to live comfortably for a period of time, but once you have any accidents on the road to the imperial examination, what is the use of us living well? Our Xiao family is different, or do we want to be slaughtered like before? ”

……

Like every debate between Xiao Mo and Xiao Shenyan before, after Xiao Shenyan's feelings were almost vented and his mouth began to dry up, Xiao Mo spoke.

"Fourth grandfather, what you said, I have thought about it countless times before writing this story, and I have thought about the pros and cons very clearly."

Xiao Mo's tone was very calm, and by the way, Xiao Shenyan's anger also calmed down a lot.

"Tell me your reasons."

Xiao Mo's calmness caused Xiao Shenyan to be stunned for a moment, and then said.

However, Xiao Mo did not rush to explain, but slowly poured a cup of tea for Xiao Shenyan first.

Looking at Xiao Mo's familiar action, Xiao Shenyan suddenly appeared, it seemed that the process of every time he and Xiao Mo debated was the same, he first reprimanded Xiao Mo for a long time, and Xiao Mo did not refute, just listened silently, and poured tea for him when his mouth was dry, until he calmed down before he slowly said his reasons, and refuted the reasons that caused Xiao Shenyan's anger little by little, and finally gained the upper hand.

The process is the same, the result is the same, every time in the end, it seems that it is always Xiao Shenyan who is persuaded.
