Today's Xu Bowen is no longer the poor scholar he was back then, although he has no money and no ability to make money, his means of cheating money are not bad.

After not being admitted to Shangen Academy, Xu Bowen took out the money that the Lu family gave him before and used it to buy an admission place. With the current money of the Shen family, it is also possible to buy a place in Shangen Academy. To be honest, if it weren't for Shen Junchuan accidentally meeting Mr. Bai He, he might also go to Sheng'en Academy to buy a place.

The master of Shangen Academy is very good, and if he can get the guidance of the master over there, the money will be well spent. Even if you don't get the master's guidance, it doesn't matter, the library of Shangen Academy is also very large, and the books in it are not less than those of Songhe Academy, as long as you give enough money, you can see most of the books.

But now this is the best, not only do you not have to spend money to buy places, but you can also get the guidance of the master and free books to read, Shen Junchuan feels that he has made a lot of money.

Shen Junchuan is different from Xu Bowen, he can't accept gifts from others for no reason, and he can't eat the soft rice that Lin Zhiyun fed him with peace of mind. Although he also knew that the family couldn't care too much, it was precisely because everyone was a family that he also needed to think about Lin Zhiyun.

Before Lin Zhiyun married him, she was just a soft and weak little girl. When he saw Lin Zhiyun for the first time, he felt that such a delicate little girl should be well protected. But now his protection of Lin Zhiyun is actually very limited, but Lin Zhiyun relies on his own ability to support the entire Shen family.

Shen Junchuan felt that if he couldn't even help Lin Zhiyun share some of the pressure now, then the head of the family would just give Lin Zhiyun as the head.

Because Shen Junchuan still feels very sorry for his daughter-in-law, he will make as much money as possible when he can, and save money as much as possible when he can't. Like Xu Bowen, who didn't study weekdays and had to spend money to buy a quota in the end, Shen Junchuan didn't like it very much.

What's even worse is that Xu Bowen doesn't have the ability to buy a place, anyway, that's Xu Bowen's own business, and what should be distressed is the Lu family who paid the money, and it has nothing to do with him.

However, Xu Bowen obviously didn't think so.

It was a coincidence that Lin Zhiyun and Lin Xiuyue met by chance today, but if there was no coincidence, Lin Xiuyue would have to find a way to create a coincidence, because Xu Bowen wanted to take Shen Junchuan to Shangen Academy to buy a place.

Xu Bowen spent five hundred taels of silver in order to buy that place, and after entering Shangen Academy, he began to play the idea of the library of Shangen Academy.

Xu Bowen still thinks that Shen Junchuan is better than him in the exam, because Shen Junchuan has read more books than him, and the books left by Lin Qingshan have given Shen Junchuan a big advantage.

But no matter how many books Shen Junchuan has, there are no more books than those in other people's libraries, so as long as he reads a few more good books in Shang'en Academy, he will definitely be able to surpass Shen Junchuan's in the township exam.

However, after entering, Xu Bowen found that with his current permission, there were very few books that could be seen, and there were only those on the first floor. Most of the books on the first floor can be bought or seen outside, except for a few special ones, the others are not attractive to Xu Bowen.

After Xu Bowen finished reading the books he hadn't read, he stared at the second floor. It's just that the person in charge of the book over there told him that he wanted to go to the second floor and that he had to pay another two taels of silver.

To tell the truth, this time Xu Bowen came to Fucheng, and the Lu family gave him a total of 1,000 taels of silver. At first, Xu Bowen thought that this thousand taels was already a lot, and he could take the opportunity to meet the girls in the flower building in Fucheng. It wasn't until he entered Shang'en Academy that he realized that in fact, the 1,000 taels of silver were nothing at all.

He had already spent dozens of taels of silver all the way to Fucheng, and another five hundred taels in order to enter Shang'en Academy. He was dumbfounded when he came to the Library Pavilion to inquire, it turned out that Zhuge had to pay money this time, only for the students who bought it.

Probably because they think they are stupid and have a lot of money, the college requires payment of money for many rights and interests of this group of students. For example, this library pavilion, the first floor is all free and open, the second floor will be named two hundred taels, the third floor is five hundred taels, and the nearest floor, without 1,500 taels, it will definitely not work.

Because the price was too expensive, Xu Bowen temporarily dispelled the idea of going to the second floor. He thought that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, although he finished reading those books, but he did not have the ability to memorize, if you want to write them all down, it will take some time, since you can't go upstairs, it is better to copy these books downstairs first.

It's just that no one on the first floor copied these books, so Xu Bowen asked the person in charge of the book, can he copy a copy of today's book and take it away?

The expression of the book is okay, but there are also requirements here, and each copy has to pay ten taels of silver, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are provided by themselves.

Xu Bowen was dumbfounded at that time, he suddenly felt that the place where he remarried Shangen Academy did not look like a academy at all, but like a black shop. It's just asking for money everywhere, but every time it's a lion with his mouth open, he doesn't think about whether others have so much money.

When the person in charge of the book saw Xu Bowen's expression, he knew what Xu Bowen was thinking: "Don't think nonsense, we haven't gone to the academy yet, although many fees are very expensive, but those who really study well, we can let them enroll for free." ”

When Xu Bowen heard this, he felt that it was very unfair, why did he have to hand over so much silver, while some people could enter the school for free? He always felt that he was very good and outstanding, but when he arrived in Fucheng, he found that he was nothing at all, his psychological gap was big, and his temper had changed badly.

"Our college is actually very generous, and every year there are 50 students who can enter for free. Every year, as long as you can get in the top 50 in the final exam of the semester, there will be a silver reward. In addition to the top 50 students, there will also be corresponding rewards for those who are admitted to Xiucai or Juren, and these rewards are all real money. Real money can't be blown by the wind, so ...... You know. ”

The person in charge of the book gave Xu Bowen a meaningful look, and Xu Bowen immediately understood.

Because Shanen College is very good to students who can study, they keep making up for it, but in this way, they not only make a lot of money, but sometimes they may even lose money. In this case, they will have to catch the fat sheep and slaughter them.

However, because several masters and sons in Shang'en Academy are very good in character and learning, there are many wealthy people in the family who would rather be slaughtered than send their children over.

Xu Bowen didn't know much about these things, the reason why he came here was only because the other academies hadn't been admitted, and Shangen Academy could let him stuff money. It's just that he didn't expect that the five hundred taels of silver were just the first step, and if he wanted to wait for a long time, he was afraid that the money would not be enough to spend if he sold himself.

"Do you think you're running out of money you've brought?" The person in charge of the book is quite understanding.

Although Xu Bowen didn't want to admit this kind of thing, his expression betrayed him.

He can see it, just his 1,000 taels of silver, thank God for being able to see the end of the township test in this academy, so how dare you expect anything else?

There was even a moment when Xu Bowen didn't want to continue to stay in this academy, but there was no other way if he didn't continue to stay, he came in with money, he couldn't let so much money be spent in vain, right?

"I've been here for so many years, and when you look at this little brother's expression, you know that you're already shy. But it's also because you have been ignorant and thinking about it, because you don't know enough about our academy, and you have been fooled and lame. But it doesn't matter, for the sake of our fate, I can teach you a way. ”

Xu Bowen immediately asked for help: "I don't know what this brother thinks?" ”

"I can't talk about it, but there is another rule in the academy, I think you can know about it." Guan Shu said with a smile, "The academy has always felt that most of the people who can't be admitted in the written test have no future in this academy, so these people have only one role for the academy, and that is to be slaughtered." ”

"But even if they are all rich, everyone's level is still different, so the academy has another idea. That's like you, you can pull a few more friends to spend money to come in. Each pull one in can give you a fifth of the cheaper. If you can fill five people, then you only need to collect a little money after that. ”

So, Xu Bowen asked Lin Xiuyue to find a way to win Shen Junchuan over.
