Chapter 25 Profit or Loss
"I've seen my aunt. Fang ran a salute greeting.
"It's all my own family, don't be so polite, sit down. The second lady smiled and motioned for Fang Yun to sit down, and she sat on a superior Taishi chair.
The eldest lady did not sit on the top seat, but walked over with a smile, went directly to Yang Yuhuan, took Yang Yuhuan's hand and said with a smile: "What a Jiangzhou Xi Shi, I see, you are more beautiful than Xi Shi, it is really cheap for Xiao Yun to be his wife." I didn't prepare anything for the first meeting, so I gave you this bracelet. ”
As she spoke, the eldest lady took off the bracelet on her hand and put it on Yang Yuhuan directly.
Yang Yuhuan blushed and said, "I can't help it, it's too precious." She said that she was about to withdraw her hand, because her hand was rough and she was afraid of being laughed at.
The eldest lady seemed to be unaware, and said, "It is natural for my aunt to give her niece and daughter-in-law things, and you have to accept them if you don't accept them." ”
Fang Yun politely excused himself: "Auntie, your bracelet is too valuable." ”
"Precious? With a jade ring, I don't think it's good enough. When I go to Yuhai City to pick carefully, I must choose a better one, otherwise it's a pity that you are a beauty. Come, sit together. The eldest lady reached out to help Yang Yuhuan fix her hair, and seemed to like her very much.
The eldest lady and Fang Yun sat on the lower seat together, and the second lady sat on the main seat by herself.
Yang Yuhuan couldn't see it, but Fang Yun and Liang Yuan glanced at each other and found that there was something wrong between the two ladies.
Fang Yun was about to speak, but the second lady preemptively said, "What my sister-in-law said is true." However, we have a large family of people in Fangfu, and the money can't be spent on it. The eldest brother values Fang Yun, and I also value Fang Yun, but a bookstore costs 1,000 taels of shares, isn't it too much? With this 1,000 taels of silver......
"Brother and sister. The eldest lady interrupted the second lady's words and turned her head to look at the second lady, "Ying Li is about to wake up from a nap, you are not here, he is going to cry again." The master of the bookstore has decided, and we women and Taoists will do it. Yuye, you go to the big housekeeper and ask him and Xiaoyun to go to the yamen to deal with the paperwork contract of the bookstore. ”
"Yes, ma'am. A maid left at once.
The second lady smiled: "You can't say that, the Fang family's money is not blown by the wind. A thousand taels of silver is enough for us to open a new bookstore by ourselves, and we can't get together with just one share. But Fang Yun is his own family after all, and the eldest brother spoke again, and I am not an insatiable person, so let's change three shares. ”
Fang Yun was disgusted in his heart, he had already guessed that this should be a fight between the two rooms of the Fang family, and it was burned to himself, if this was the case, it would be okay if the money was not wanted, and there was no need to learn and teach in the Fang family, it was really impossible to sell a few poems for money to open a bookstore.
Fang Yun immediately got up and said, "Since the second lady said so, then Fang Yun won't bother." Today, I will write a letter to my eldest uncle, saying that I will cancel my cooperation with the Fang family. Leave. ”
Yang Yuhuan and Liang Yuan immediately stood up in a panic.
The second lady immediately said: "This is your willingness, don't say in front of the eldest brother that I forced you, don't admit what I haven't done." ”
"Shut up!" The eldest lady suddenly shouted at the second lady, and then took the first step in front of Fang Yun, and said with a smile, "Brother and sister are crazy people, don't be surprised." I am in charge of this home, and she doesn't count what she said! Go, my mother will accompany you to the yamen to settle this matter. Your uncle and I are very optimistic about you, so don't think about it. ”
Fang Yun saw the attitude of the eldest lady, the anger in his heart disappeared a little, and after thinking about it carefully, this matter was obviously the second lady's deliberate attempt to find the eldest lady, which belonged to referring to Sang and scolding Huai, and it seemed that he wanted to break the relationship between Fang Shouye and him. At first, the eldest lady didn't want to worry about it, but his attitude was so resolute that he had to turn his face with the second lady.
If you are so angry, it is equivalent to obeying the second lady's wishes.
Fang Yun smiled and said: "Auntie, you are too worried, my nephew's heart is bright, and he knows who is doing to me." It's better to do this, since the second lady doesn't like to use the Fang family's money, then simply give me a share in my uncle's own name, and within three months, I can give at least 1,000 taels of dividends!"
"I'm not afraid of flashing my waist!" the second lady muttered quietly, but she didn't dare to embarrass her luck again.
The eldest lady smiled: "After all, the master is the general of the fifth grade, and it is not appropriate to invest in his name." In this way, if you buy shares in my name, the 1,000 taels will be considered my private money. As for the dividends, let's talk about it after the year, there is no hurry. ”
"It's fine. Fang Yundao.
At this time, the maid walked in with Steward Fang.
Steward Fang was a very ordinary little old man, dressed in a black robe, serious and respectful.
"The eldest lady, the second lady. Steward Fang nodded politely.
The eldest lady smiled and said, "I originally wanted you to go to the yamen to sign a document on behalf of the Fang family, but now that I go in person, I won't trouble you." ”
When Fang Yun heard the word "you", he realized that this housekeeper's status in the Fang family was not low.
Steward Fang glanced at Fang Yun and the others, and said, "I often do this kind of thing, so let me accompany you." ”
"Yes, we can save a lot of trouble with you. ”
Then, the group walked out, and the second lady cursed in a low voice: "Sorry for you." ”
Let no one hear.
The group first rented the house, and then went to the yamen to go through the relevant procedures.
The civil servants of the government rarely see the eldest lady of the famous family come in person, so they keep the "Three Flavors Bookstore" in mind, and they must not offend this bookstore in the future.
While Fang Yun was going through the formalities of the bookstore, the clerks of the Holy Courtyard on the Fallen Peak Mountain were also busy.
Xiucai is not a small figure anywhere, even if it is a noble family, they will not offend in vain, but in the Holy Academy, they have the lowest status, but because they are nourished by the talent of the Holy Academy, they are easier to be promoted than ordinary Xiucai, and the road in the future is longer, and the Holy Yuan has great influence in various countries.
Holding two bookcases, two talented clerks hurriedly ran to the "review hall" of the monthly magazine "Holy Dao".
"Hurry up, hurry up, the county exam has just passed, and all states have county exam poems recommended by university scholars, and these have already passed
The 'Holy Election' cannot be delayed. The older clerk said.
"Yes. The young clerk ran with his head bored.
The two clerks ran to the front of the review hall, straightened their clothes, and pushed the door in.
The review hall is very large, and the whole large room is filled with soft white light.
There was a large long table in the east, north, and west, and behind each table sat a Confucian scholar in a university uniform, an old man, a middle-aged man, and one of them turned out to be a young man in his twenties.
There were many papers suspended in the air of the review hall, and the scholars had a thought, and the papers either flew away or flew in front of them.
"Empty talent, bullshit!" the old scholar snorted softly, and several pieces of paper immediately rolled up into a ball and flew into the paper basket.
"This poem is good, it can be selected, too. Look at it for a long time. ”
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, a page flew in front of the old man, and the old man looked down and said, "Pass." With that, the paper flew in front of the young man.
The young man glanced up and said, "Alternate." The page was left unused.
The other two continued to review.
The middle-aged man looked at the door and asked with a pleasant face: "But the counties from all over the country are trying poetry?"
"Yes. Ninety states recommended a total of more than 2,000 poems, and after the holy election, only 67 remained, the lowest out of the county. The clerk said.
The old scholar muttered dissatisfiedly: "In the past few years, where have the county government exams produced qualified poems? The last of the four great talents of this generation is also a jinshi five years ago, and it is really not as good as a crab." It doesn't make sense at all to choose poems in the county government test on the "Holy Dao"! I don't read it, you two decide, I agree. ”
As soon as the middle-aged scholar beckoned, the papers in the two clerks' bookcases immediately flew over one after another, making a rattling sound, and laid a long bridge of white paper in the air, and finally fell neatly on his desk.
After the two clerks went down, the middle-aged scholar didn't care about the stack of county test poems, and continued to select other articles.
After half an hour, the middle-aged university scholar read the county test poems page by page.
One, two, three......
Seeing the twenty-sixth poem, the middle-aged scholar's expression moved, and he couldn't help but read it a second time and read it, it was the poem "Spring Dawn".
The other two scholars didn't react at first, and when they finished reading the most, they "know how much do they know", and the two scholars, one old and one young, looked up at the middle-aged scholars together.
"Who did it? There is a talent of Narushu, which is rare and fresh but can make people evocative, and it can be entered into the next month's "Holy Road". "Elder University Scholar.
The young scholar nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The two of them thought that the middle-aged university scholar would make a judgment, but he continued to read the poem "Twilight".
"Okay, righteous. One person, two poems? This poem also has the talent of Narushu, who is it?"
"Do you remember the only double class boy this year?"
The young scholar who had been silent widened his eyes slightly, and he couldn't believe that a child could make such a good poem.
"I've heard that those juniors are not convinced, and they are all inquiring about that person, but I don't pay much attention to it. This is all the work of that child?" the old scholar reached out and grabbed the page, on which were written "Spring Dawn" and "Twilight".
The middle-aged scholar looked at the next page and said, "It turns out that "Spring Dawn" is an examination work. The "Twilight" only got half a song in the examination room, and then completed it at the children's life meeting. However, there is another thing that is surprising, he was dissatisfied with the defeat of Jingguo last year, and even said at the Tong Shengwen Conference: The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. ”
"Okay! Okay! Just this sentence can be left in the annals of history! Is it called Fang Yun? I remember, if we can meet, we must talk at night, great talent, great talent! This person should be a late bloomer, right?"
The middle-aged scholar said, "Sixteen years old." ”
The old scholar froze, and the young scholar's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
"Then these two poems and the rise and fall of the world are all included in the "Holy Way" next month?"
"Naturally. "Elder University Scholar.
The young scholar said: "That "Twilight" is not a first-class poem in the county examination, and I am afraid it will not be good next month." What's more, he is so young, and he has two poems and one sentence on "The Holy Way" at the same time a month, which is too shocking. Since there are so many poems to choose from this month, it is better to postpone "Twilight" by one month. ”
