The fat man smiled slightly: "Normally, most people will choose the first way, find a few people with local status and prestige as guarantors, if you really can't find it...... You have to go the second way. Speaking of this, the fat man paused: "The second way is to spend money to buy qualifications." ”

"Spend money?" Gao Fei raised his eyebrows: "How much?"

"This number. The fat man held out five fingers.

"Five hundred taels?" Gao Fei frowned: "This price is a bit high." ”

"Uh...... Not five hundred taels. The fat man shook his head: "It's fifty taels, as long as you take out fifty taels, you can qualify for the exam." ”

"Fifty taels, so cheap?"

"It's cheap? Yes, it's not expensive for Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao can earn it by painting a picture casually, but it's very expensive for other people, do you know how much an ordinary family's living expenses are for a year? At most, no more than twenty taels, fifty taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live for more than two years. ”

"What? Ordinary people don't live on more than twenty taels a year? You lied to me, right? That's too little, isn't it? What do they eat every day? Do they eat chaff?" Goofy's eyes widened.

"That's right!" The fat man nodded vigorously: "They just eat bran vegetables, and they are reluctant to eat a bite of meat all year round, so it is absolutely impossible to ask ordinary people to take out fifty taels to buy the qualifications for the entrance examination." ”

"As you say...... Those who come from wealthy families can easily buy the entrance exam?"

Indeed, you must have heard the saying: Money can make the devil grind! These days, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do. The fat man glanced at Gao Fei: "You must think it's unfair, right? Let me tell you, there is no fairness in this world, if you want to be prosperous, you have to step on other people's shoulders and climb up, and if you slack off, you will be torn off." ”

"You still have to have a bottom line in life, and you can't be too reckless. Goofy said.

"Little sir, if you want to participate in the imperial examination, I can introduce you to a few guarantors......" The fat man smiled.

"No need. Gao Fei replied: "I'd better spend money to buy the admission qualification." ”

"Huh? this ...... Although fifty taels is nothing for Mr. Xiao, I can save a sum of money, and I can help Mr. Xiao find a guarantor. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, I really don't need to. "Gao Fei has his own considerations, the reason why the fat man is so diligent to help him is nothing more than to take a fancy to Gao Fei's painting talent, let Gao Fei owe favors, and use it as a painting to repay in the future, this is nothing, the real problem is Gao Fei's identity, if you let the fat man know that Gao Fei is the abandoned son of the Gao family, it is estimated that the fat man will not dare to help Gao Fei, maybe he will turn Gao Fei away at that time, and no longer cooperate with Gao Fei to sell paintings, although the fat man is also a figure with a head and a face in the county, but compared with the Gao family, it is too far behind, even if he borrows a few guts from the fat man, the fat man will not dare to offend the Gao family。

After thinking about it, it is better to spend money to buy insurance for admission qualifications, which can save you a lot of trouble.

"Well, since Mr. Xiao insists on spending money to buy admission qualifications, then I won't say much. The fat man thought that Goofy didn't want to owe him a favor, so he refused his help.

"One last question, where do I buy my qualifications for the exam?" Gao Fei asked.

"Of course, I'm going to the county office, if Mr. Xiao believes me, I can help you go. The fat man said, "I have a few friends who work in the county office, and asking them for help can save a lot of time." The fat man just said casually, thinking that Gao Fei would not agree, but what he didn't expect was ...... Goofy actually agreed.

"Okay. Gao Fei nodded: "I'm sorry for you this time." ”

"Uh......" The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded quickly: "Okay, this matter is on me, three days, at most three days I will get things done." The fat man had some doubts in his heart, just now he proposed to help Gao Fei find a guarantor, but Gao Fei refused, why did he now promise to let him go to the county government to help buy the entrance examination qualifications? Whether it is looking for a guarantor, but if he goes to the county office to find a friend to buy the entrance examination qualifications, Gao Fei will owe him a favor? Since he owes a favor, why not just let him go to the guarantor? In this way, there are still fifty taels of silver left? The fat man couldn't figure out what was going on after thinking about it for a long time.

"Let's go sell paintings. Gao Fei said with a smile: "It's the same as yesterday, there will be a bidding for sale, and whoever offers the highest price will sell the painting to whomever it wants." ”

"Ah, oh, okay, I'll go now. As soon as he mentioned selling paintings, the fat man immediately came to his senses, and he stood up and ran out with calligraphy and paintings.

Goofy sat alone in a chair, drinking tea and pondering the way forward, making a fortune by selling paintings, then buying qualifications for the entrance exam, and then taking the children's exam...... By the way, if you want to take the time to buy some books of this era, learn the words and knowledge points of this era, it is best to get a set of books about the examination, in the ancient imperial examination of the earth, the examination is the eight-strand text, I don't know if the eight-strand text is also tested here?

Goofy is not worried that he will fail the exam at all, because his soul is very strong, no matter what kind of book it is, it will be firmly remembered in his mind as long as he reads it at a glance, and as long as he prepares well in advance, he will easily pass the exam.

"Hey, don't grab it, don't grab it, line up and take your time, there are a total of ten paintings today, enough for you to compete, or the same as yesterday, whoever pays the highest price, the painting will belong to whom!"

"I want all these ten paintings, and I will give five hundred taels. ”

"Cut! I want ten paintings for five hundred taels, you're too stingy, aren't you? I'll give you six hundred taels!"

"Seven hundred taels!"

"Eight hundred taels!"

"Eight hundred and fifty taels ......"

At this moment, there was a chaotic shouting outside, Gao Fei smiled slightly after hearing it, his paintings are at the level of middle school students in modern times, and they are estimated to have been thrown on the street and not picked up, but they were not expected to be so popular in this different world, this is the gap between the times, and the ancient things have become antiques in modern times, and the prices have soared, and the modern things have become rare items in ancient times, and they are sought after, and it is really interesting to think about it carefully.

To put it bluntly, it is a game between rich people, and those ordinary people who are struggling at the bottom have no mind, no spare money, and no energy to pay attention to these things, they just want to do more work and earn more money to support their families.

People in different classes have different pursuits of life, the rich cannot imagine the life of the poor, and the poor cannot imagine the life of the rich, just like two parallel straight lines, which will never intersect.

About an hour later, the fat man came back sweating profusely, holding a stack of silver tickets in his hand: "Haha, little sir, guess how much silver you sold today?"

"Can't guess. Gao Fei shook his head: "You better say it directly." ”

"Fifteen hundred taels. The fat man said excitedly: "On average, a painting is sold for one hundred and fifty taels, which is more expensive than yesterday's painting, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Mr. Xiao's name will resound throughout the county......

Gao Fei stretched out his hand to interrupt the fat man's words: "I don't sell paintings to be famous, just to make a living, shopkeeper, let's make an agreement." ”

"Agreed?"

"Yes, I'm only responsible for painting in secret, and you are responsible for selling, and you can't reveal my identity. ”

"Why is that?" the fat man doesn't understand, this is a great opportunity to be famous, as long as you are famous, it becomes easy to make money, and there are still people who don't want to be famous these days?

"I have my own difficulties, please don't ask the shopkeeper more. Gao Fei waved his hand: "Just do what I say, if the shopkeeper can't do it...... Then that's all we can do with our cooperation......"

"Don't, don't. The fat man hurriedly said: "Listen to you, everything is up to you, do whatever you say, I will keep it a strict secret, and I will never reveal the identity of Mr. Xiao...... Hehe, in fact, until now, I don't know the origin of Mr. Xiao, and I don't even know Mr. Xiao's name......"

"You can just call me Xiaofei in the future. ”

"Dumbo?"

"Yes. ”

"Oh, my name is Meng Da Fat, and others call me the fat shopkeeper, if you don't dislike it, call me the fat shopkeeper in the future." ”

"Okay, fat shopkeeper, I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future, I paint, you sell paintings, and the silver earned is divided in half. ”

"Half to half, half to half. The fat shopkeeper handed a few silver tickets to Gao Fei: "A total of 1,500 taels were sold today, and the half is 750 taels......

Gao Fei only accepted seven hundred taels and returned the extra fifty taels to the fat shopkeeper.

"You ...... this," the fat shopkeeper was stunned.

"This is the money to buy the entrance examination. ”

"Ah, I'll just pay for you. ”

"I'm already very grateful for you helping me buy the qualifications for the exam, how can I still ask you to pay, don't back down, put it away quickly, I'm still a thing, I'll leave first." Goofy stood up and walked outside: "I'll come back in three days." ”

"Little gentleman, walk slowly. The fat shopkeeper stood at the door and watched Gao Fei leave, muttering in his heart, what is the origin of this young man?
