Qin Mingyuan was in a daze and stayed in his room for three whole days.

During these three days, his mind was no longer functioning, and he did not know what he was seeing with his eyes, let alone what he was eating.

Mother Qin didn't pay attention to him either.

It wasn't until early in the morning of the fourth day that Qin's mother took Mama Qin, followed by two men and a woman who looked to be one or two years older than Qin Mingyuan, dressed as a maid and a maid respectively, and came to Qin Mingyuan's room.

Mother Qin glanced into the room with a faint expression, and saw her son's figure faintly visible on the messy bed, but she didn't step in. Turning sideways, Mother Qin said to the two little servants: "That is the master you need to serve in the future." Go and clean him up, and bring him to me. ”

With that, Qin's mother turned around and went to Qin Mingyuan's study. She didn't touch anything in her son's study, just sat down in a chair by the window. As soon as she sat down, the whole study seemed to be still with her, and even the floating dust was quiet.

As soon as she sits, it is more than half an hour.

Finally, Qin Mingyuan, who had freshened up and seemed to have regained his senses, walked into the room a little weakly and knelt down in front of Qin's mother.

At this time, he was wearing a new navy blue satin gown, which at first glance was inconspicuous, but those who knew the goods could quickly recognize it: it was clearly a brand new garment, deliberately worn. And the cloth is not something that can be bought casually, although it is not a top-level tribute, but it is also very good.

It's just that Qin Mingyuan obviously doesn't know the goods. He didn't realize that this new garment, which was worth more than ten generations more than the clothes he usually wore, didn't realize it at all.

When Qin's mother saw her, she raised her eyes slightly, and did not comment on his behavior in the past few days, but said directly: "Lin Shiqing has already returned home from the Gongyuan last night. You go to the Lin Mansion now and ask for sin. ”

"Please?" Qin Mingyuan, na.

Qin's mother said: "I ask you to be confused by Sheng Jing's flashiness and fail to devote yourself to your studies, so that the failure of the imperial examination will disgrace Lin Shiqing, and please give birth to the sin of foolish thoughts that try to test the topic from Lin Yijia." And not some other sin, you see? If you shouldn't mention it, you can't even mention half a word. Do you know! ”

Qin Mingyuan shook his somewhat heavy head and said in a low voice, "I know." ”

Qin Mu looked at Qin Mingyuan, who was weak, and there seemed to be a nameless fire rushing up in her heart. Her long fingernails pinched into the palms of her hands, and the slight pain made her restrain her emotions, and she said slowly: "When you get out of this door, cheer me up!" It's just a matter of being knocked down after one defeat. No one wants to sympathize with you! ”

Qin Mingyuan's body trembled, and he answered "yes" again.

"There you go." Qin Mu waved her hand.

Qin Mingyuan kowtowed when he heard this, got up and left his study backwards. At the door, he met Mama Qin, and saw Mama Qin looking at him worriedly and distressedly, and greeted him.

"I'm fine." Qin Mingyuan nodded.

He was only fifteen years old.

I think last year when he took the government exam. How many gray-haired shows just entered the scene. And those old students, the exam year after year. But he couldn't even pass the test!

And he became a lifter at the age of fourteen! If I try again in three years, I will only be 18 years old!

It's just that even a grandmother has distress in her eyes, but his mother never will! Qin Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a hint of ridicule in his heart.

"Madame, it's all for your good, grandma......" Mama Qin explained for Qin's mother in a low voice.

"I know." Qin Mingyuan answered, and his footsteps stepped out from Mama Qin's side. The young man dressed as a little boy followed him.

After he left, Mama Qin entered the study. He whispered to Qin Mu, who was sitting quietly in the chair, and said, "Miss, you were always good at persuasion in the past...... Why can't you be more tactful to the young master? You're a mother and son. ”

Mother Qin only didn't seem to hear Mama Qin's words. Sit still and be silent. Mama Qin had no choice but to stand aside with her head down, sighing in her heart.

Let's talk about Qin Mingyuan.

"What's your name?" Qin Mingyuan asked.

"Slave Qin Sanyuan." The little guy's appearance was just ordinary, very inconspicuous. But when he spoke, a few simple words, coming out of his mouth, gave people a very comfortable feeling. "The slave turned out to be the second shopkeeper of a shop in the Tang family, and he was more familiar with the characters in Shengjing, so he was asked by the old lady to come to the master."

became the second shopkeeper at such a young age, obviously this Qin Sanyuan is very capable. And he is an old man in Shengjing, and of course he must be very familiar with the nobles of Shengjing, big and small...... It's exactly what I need.

Compared with him, the original Qin Qi couldn't help him at all, and sometimes he would drag him back.

It's just that this Qin Sanyuan, from the second shopkeeper of the scenery, has become a poor follower, is there no dissatisfaction with himself in his heart? And Qin Mingyuan didn't know how to subdue this person, so he had to ask, "Which store is it?" ”

"Lanxing Pavilion."

Qin Mingyuan was silent. Lanxing Pavilion is the only restaurant in Shengjing that can compete with the invitation building - and it is also something he has never set foot in.

Qin Mingyuan didn't speak, and Qin Sanyuan, who was his follower, didn't speak either. The two of them walked to the front yard in silence, and Qin Mingyuan noticed at a glance that a new carriage was parked on the edge of the shadow wall. With Qin Mingyuan's not very clever eyes, he could probably see what kind of particularly heavy and precious wood this carriage was made of, without much decoration, just carved with simple moire, simple and atmospheric.

There were also the two horses pulling the cart, tall and sturdy, with smooth fur, and they were leisurely trotting on their hooves.

"Master, please get in the car." Qin Sanyuan bent down and said.

Qin Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where did this carriage come from?" ”

Qin Sanyuan said: "Hui Ye, this is naturally ordered by the old lady." ”

Such a carriage, with these two tall horses...... Even if Qin Mingyuan didn't know the price of these "expensive" things, he probably knew about this set. You can't get it without three or five hundred taels of silver. Maybe more, maybe a thousand taels.

"Tell me about the carriage and the horse." Qin Mingyuan's voice suddenly became a little hoarse: "I believe you should have this kind of vision?" ”

Qin Sanyuan bent over, his face was neither expected nor modest, and said, "Master Hui, this carriage is completely made of iron power wood. Tieli wood is only produced in the wild and wild mountains of Yunnan, and the material is heavier than other woods, and the corrosion resistance is very good, and it is the most durable. Such a carriage, estimated by a minion. The price of timber should be around a thousand taels. And because the iron wood is extremely hard and difficult to carve, most craftsmen will charge a production fee of eleven, that is, one hundred taels of silver. ”

Qin Mingyuan's eyelids jumped.

One thousand one hundred taels of silver...... It's a pity that he only had a few copper coins on him before he was fourteen years old...... After that, although he saw the appearance of silver, at most, he only carried fifty taels of silver tickets on his body......

"As for these two horses, they are not a precious breed......"

Hear this. Qin Mingyuan's heart soothed for some reason.

But then, Qin Sanyuan said again: "However, these two horses are in the prime of life, very healthy, and have a very docile personality, and they can become good military horses with a little training." Military prices. The price of one such steed is around fifty taels of silver. ”

Two horses are a hundred taels.

A set of horse-drawn carriages. That's one thousand two hundred taels.

Qin Mingyuan stepped into the carriage, opened the door, glanced around the carriage, and said in his heart: This carriage is arranged, I am afraid it will cost a few hundred taels of silver......

When did the Qin family become so rich!

Since the Qin family is rich, what happened to those bitter days in the past!

Qin Mingyuan sat down in the carriage and pursed his lips. asked, "What is the relationship between the old lady and the Tang family?" ”

It is impossible for my mother to save so much money one day ago. If you get it from the Royal Tang family. That's the explanation. But since they arrived in Shengjing, it was only at the beginning that his mother asked him to visit the Tang Mansion, and he never let him go after that. Even, the mother herself never went back.

He has always believed that the relationship between the Tang family and the Qin family is definitely not close. Perhaps, in the case of the Qin family, the Tang family may have played a disgraceful role. Otherwise, as an in-law, the Qin family has all the property, and everyone is only orphaned and widowed, but the Tang family is unharmed and has been living well?

If it seems, it may not be what he thinks.

I only listened to Qin Sanyuan: "The relationship between the Qin family and the Tang family is naturally excellent. The old lady is a brother and sister with the head of the Tang family. ”

But they are not siblings.

Mrs. Qin is the daughter of the Tang family, but the current eldest master of the Tang family is the son of the Tang family. Although Qin Mingyuan has never experienced it, how can the relationship between the two people be harmonious when they are in the inner courtyard and the difference between their concubines? Therefore, for a long time, Qin's mother did not take the initiative to let him go to the Tang family, and he has never been close to the Tang family.

"The old lady said, if you ask, let the servant tell you. This amount of silver came from the dividends she held in Lanxing Pavilion......"

Shares of Lanxingge!

That's the shares of Lanxing Pavilion, even if it's just a little bit, it can make their whole family live a very good life!

"How much?" Qin Mingyuan's voice trembled slightly.

"Twenty percent."

Such a fluttering two words, but it seemed to be smashed down by two heavy hammers, and his eyes were scattered, and countless golden lights appeared in front of him!

Twenty percent! How much silver should there be in that month! How much money should be received in a year!

Qin Sanyuan didn't wait for Qin Mingyuan to ask this time, so he took the initiative to say it. He said in a low voice but very calmly: "Although Lanxing Pavilion is not as good as Yingyue Tower, the average profit in January is about 3,000 taels of silver, and about 40,000 silver can be received in a year. The old lady left Shengjing for 12 years, during which she did not take a penny of dividends. Twelve years later, ninety-eight thousand six hundred and eighty-nine taels of silver coexisted. A few days ago, Mama Qin arrived at Tang's house and asked for a slave and a pothos, as well as a silver ticket of 100,000 taels of silver. ”

100,000 taels!

Qin Mingyuan seemed to have become numb.

At this moment, he suddenly unconsciously imitated his mother: his hands were flat, his eyes were looking at a slightly lower position in front of him, his face was expressionless, and he was speechless.

Of course, Qin Sanyuan stopped talking. He saluted Qin Mingyuan, sat in the parking space, shook the reins, and the carriage slowly moved around, out of the Qin Mansion, out of the not too wide alley in front of the Qin Mansion, and onto the street.

The carriage was flat and steady.

Qin Mingyuan sat in such a carriage and barely felt any bumps.

Finally arrived at the Lin Mansion, after Qin Mingyuan got out of the carriage, he asked Qin Sanyuan, "How many silver tickets do you have on you now?" ”

"One thousand taels." Qin Sanyuan did not hesitate.

Qin Mingyuan nodded, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he changed to a smiling face, his tense legs gradually became agile and flexible, and the more he walked, the more brisk he became. Although, when the servants of the Lin Mansion saw him, they couldn't help but smile with celebration on their faces.

The Lin Mansion was not celebrating.

Of course, with such a double happiness, of course, all the people in the Lin Mansion were elated.

Lin Shifei, who was only sixteen years old, and Lin Siye, was admitted to the Jinshi; Lin Jiakang, who was only eighteen years old, was admitted to the Jinshi; Master Lin's student Song Jie, Young Master Song, will be the first in high school; The second student of Master Lin also won the Jinshi! Only the third student of Master Lin University unfortunately fell off the list......

What kind of thoughts the people of the Lin Mansion will have, there is almost no need to guess.

Qin Mingyuan walked all the way into Wutong Courtyard.

Lin Shiqing was with his eldest nephew and two students. Song Jie's need to prepare for the palace exam, of course, Lin Shiqing, the former champion, needs to mention something; Needless to say, Wei Chen had to take the exam of the Hanlin Academy; And Lin Jiahan's ranking is not very high, and he is barely qualified to lean on it and increase his experience......

"You're here." Lin Shiqing saw Qin Mingyuan and couldn't help but look him up and down a few times. Seeing that he was in good spirits, he nodded and said, "Here, just follow and listen." ”

"Yes, Teacher."

Qin Mingyuan straightened up, walked to Lin Shiqing's side, and picked up the ink. Several other people smiled at him, and Qin Mingyuan also smiled in return.

Lin Shiqing continued: "If you want to say that Nanshan is literary enough, your footprints over the years are not limited to Shengjing, and you have a wide range of knowledge, presumably no matter what topics the emperor will temporarily come up with when the palace examines the emperor, you will be able to make a good article." However, you are not the only one who is outstanding in this subject......"

Lin Shiqing gave the lecture, and others occasionally asked some questions.

If there was something that needed to be written down, Qin Mingyuan took the initiative to write it down.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the light in this well-lit study also dimmed.

Lin Shiqing raised his head and looked out at the sky, and said, "Okay, your foundation is solid enough on weekdays, and I'm not worried about you." Go back and prepare. ”

Song Jie and the others bid farewell to Lin Shiqing. Of course, Qin Mingyuan didn't leave. He walked up to Lin Shiqing with his head down, and knelt down silently: "Please punish the teacher!" ”

"You know it's wrong?" Lin Shiqing said.

Qin Mingyuan said sadly: "It's a big mistake for students not to focus on their homework!" Students try to peep at the test questions, which is even more wrong! This time I fell off the list, which is a slap in the face for students! If the student still doesn't know the mistake, then it's really stupid! (To be continued.)
