Soon Master Wang came over to reply to the two girls, "The prefect agreed, and sent Lang Zhong from Mufu to treat him, but he didn't go to the cell with Lang Zhong who met unexpectedly." ”

"Thank you Master Wang for your kindness."

……

After leaving the yamen, Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er went to the ruins of Wanbao Silver Tower together and went down to the well.

Xiao Qi skillfully found the lantern and lit it and handed it to Hua Xi'er.

Then she found a large rock and carried it all the way to the end of the tunnel, blocking the exit.

Clapped his hands and said, "Now no one can easily enter and exit from here." ”

The two of them also inspected the jewelry and household utensils in the two stone houses.

Hua Xi'er picked up the bronze mirror in the stone house, saw the word Daqing written on the back, and said to Xiao Qi: "Daqing has been two or three hundred years away from now. ”

Xiao Qi also showed Hua Xi'er the two books he got in the stone house.

"Aunt Xi, you see that the signature on this is Liu Feifei, and it is likely that she is the goddess of the Liu family who dominated the rivers and lakes hundreds of years ago in the master's mouth."

"Xiao Qi, do you think Liu Feifei will still be alive now?"

Xiao Qi nodded, "It's possible, that Lang Zhong from Xiao Zhao Village didn't live for more than a hundred years, and now his body is still very good." ”

"With so much gold, silver and jewelry, our business in 7-Up Shop will definitely spread all over the country in the future, so that we will have the ability to help more people."

When the two climbed to the mouth of the well, the inside of the Mingyue Silver Building opposite was brightly lit, and the two red lanterns outside were swaying with the spring breeze.

The two sat silently on the edge of the hexagonal well for a while.

Hua Xi'er held her chin with both hands, "This place is quite big, why don't we build a big house." ”

"The kind of many rooms, and then rent out the shops in it one by one, so that those reputable merchants can live in, so that the people can buy whatever they want here, they can buy things, and they can eat and rest."

Xiao Qi leaned his head on Hua Xi'er's shoulder, closed his eyes and said, "Although I don't know how to do business, Aunt Xi's idea sounds very good." ”

On the second day, taking advantage of the lunch time, the four proprietors gathered in the ruins, and when they heard Hua Xi'er's thoughts, Mu Zixi and Feng Xiaogongzi all voted in favor.

Feng Xiaogongzi returned home and told Feng Wanbao about Hua Xi'er's thoughts.

Feng Wanbao has a lot of affection for Wanbao Silver Building.

"Son, can you talk to a few other people, let your father and I go to help, I don't want to be paid."

"I'll help the supervisor to control the quality of the building, and when the shop is rented, I will also rent one and continue to open Wanbao Silver Building."

Feng Xiaogongzi patted Feng Wanbao's shoulder, "Dad, you have a good idea, I support you, I will go to my master tomorrow to talk to them." ”

"Thank you, good son!"

"But dad, don't have too much hope for it, Mu Zishan has invested a lot of money, and I have very few shares now, and I don't have much right to speak."

Feng Wanbao patted his son's shoulder, "When Dad makes money in the future, I'll help you invest more." ”

"Dad, are you sure? I heard from my master that the money I earned from doing business should be used to help the poor. ”

Feng Xiaogongzi found Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er patrolling the street.

"Master, is it okay for my father to come over and be an overseer when the house is being built? In fact, my father likes to drink a little wine, and has no other bad hobbies, and those bad things in the past were all done by my uncle Jin Daya without telling my father. ”

Hua Xi'er: "It's not a big mistake to like to drink, but it's not okay to do wrong things when you're drunk all the time." ”

In the evening, at the dinner table of the Feng family.

Feng Xiaogongzi: "Dad, my master didn't answer them, they were afraid that you would drink and make a mistake." ”

Feng Wanbao was ruthless, "Good son, you go and ask me again, I promised not to drink during the overseer." ”

Mrs. Feng smiled happily, "It's rare, my lord is going to quit drinking." ”

……

Soon, Ah Fu went to the Qixi pen and ink shop to work as a buddy, and was discovered by the Niu family.

The Niu clan gave Ah Fu a hard reprimand, but Ah Fu was unwilling to go to that school again anyway.

"Mother, I don't go there, the children in the school are always crying and crying."

"Mother, help you find a good one."

Niu now has money and is very confident.

She heard from her neighbors that the best academy in Pengzhou City was Pengzhou Academy, so she dressed up fiercely in gold and silver.

asked Lao Zhao Tou to drive her and Liu Dahe to Pengzhou Academy in Beicheng.

The husband and wife were stopped by the old man watching the gate at the gate of the academy, "Why are you two here?" ”

Niu: "I want to see your dean. ”

The old man looked embarrassed: "Our dean is very busy. ”

Liu Dahe made a gesture: "Old man, do you know how much silver you have to pay to study here?" ”

The old man's voice was neither high nor low, and his speech was well organized.

"One hundred taels a year is enough, but silver is not the most important thing, if you want to study here, you must pass the exam."

One hundred taels of silver is really not a matter for the current Liu family, and the silver given by Wanbao alone is as much as three thousand taels.

Niu's smile was even worse than when he came, "I thought it was so troublesome, isn't it just an exam?" My family Afuke is smart, and I am sure that I can pass the exam. ”

Liu Dahe is not as confident in his son as Niu.

Liu Dahe: "Old man, when can I take the exam?" ”

Old man: "The two of you are waiting here first, I'll ask the dean, and then I'll inform the two of you when I come out." ”

Soon the old man came out and said to the husband and wife, "Come over tomorrow (9:00-11:00)." ”

Liu Dahe bowed his hand, "Thank you, old man." ”

Just as the students in the academy finished class, many scholars with scarves came out.

Niu was very envious, "Look, the students of Pengzhou Academy are different, they are all dressed up so well, I will also dress up Ah Fu tomorrow." ”

When he returned home in the evening, Liu Dahe said to Ah Fu: "Ah Fu, you prepare first tonight, and the dean of Pengzhou Academy will test you tomorrow." ”

Ah Fu looked reluctant, "Dad, I really don't want to study." ”

"Ah Fu, if you don't go to study, your mother will definitely make the family restless."

On the second day, Niu took out the new clothes that he had urgently made and dressed up for Ah Fu.

The husband and wife took Ah Fu to Pengzhou Academy.

Because it was agreed in advance, the old man who guarded the door took them directly to the room where the dean worked.

At first glance, the dean felt that Ah Fu was quite handsome, and said to Ah Fu in a calm tone: "Let's introduce yourself first." ”

Niu's voice was very loud, "My son's name is Liu Afu, he is 15 years old this year, my son is smart, you must accept him." ”

The dean was a little disappointed, and the child in front of him cowered, and asked a few questions, all of which were answered by the parents.

The dean's tone was very tactful, "Your son may not be suitable for studying in our academy. ”

"Dean, we have money, don't you collect a hundred taels of silver every year? I'll give you three hundred taels, and I beg you, let my son stay. ”

"It's not a matter of money, you better go home and wait for news."

Niu Shi pulled the sleeve of the hospitalist, "Dean, you can be accommodating, my daughter saved the people of the whole city, even if there is no hard work, there is merit." ”

The dean pulled back his sleeve, "Just talk well, don't do it casually - who is your daughter?" ”

Niu thought for a while and said, "People outside seem to call my daughter Seven Women. ”

"It turned out to be the Seven Heroines, so let's give you another chance. Your name is Liu Afu, right? How many years have you been reading, what are you good at? ”

"I've only been studying for half a year, I used to learn to read with my sister, and I'm good at drawing."

"I'll see if you draw it."

Ah Fu randomly drew two rabbits with different shapes on paper, which was the most customary drawing he used to draw when he was a child.

"Dacai, Dacai, give me this picture. Master Wang will definitely like you very much, you don't read much, I will arrange you to train you in the primary class first, and you can come over to study after you go to the next room and pay the money. ”

After Niu Shi handed over the money, he turned back and asked the dean, "Is it okay for my son to come back to study the day after tomorrow?" ”

"Absolutely." The dean is holding the painting in his hand and looking at it seriously.

After Niu went back, he went to the neighborhood to show off.

"My son has been admitted to Pengzhou Academy, and tomorrow my family will have a treat, everyone remember to come as a guest."

The neighbors actually like to go to Liu's house to eat, the food of Liu's family is delicious, and the male owner of Liu's family is also very talkative.

As for the hostess? It's even simpler, just say something good and obedient and coax.

For this matter, the Niu family also asked Ah Fu to write an invitation and asked Lao Zhao Tou to send it to the Feng family.
