"Master Huang, where can I have a thousand taels of silver? Although I have some food to eat and some pocket money now, I really don't have that much income. How could he have the face to say that Wen Jin had split up, and besides, he had only earned less than three hundred taels of silver by collecting medicinal materials, and now, the Qian family's second room, even if the house was sold, it would not be enough to make up one thousand taels of silver, unless the land was sold together.

Huang Xiangguan didn't believe it at all, and Qian Xiancheng was not an opponent at all......

At this time, Wen Jin was selling fish with Wei Chenglan, carrying a money bag, and walking on the street of Minghu City, the provincial capital. Seeing the bustling flow of people and the bustling streets, she was overjoyed: "Uncle, go back, kill your fish, and transport them to sell." ”

Wei Chenglan was also very happy: "Wen Jin, you still have a good idea, bring a bag of fried sauerkraut, our fish will be more expensive than the fish market, and we will charge a few taels more for this item." ”

"yes!"

"One tael of silver and three hundred catties of grain is enough for one person to eat for a year, but I didn't expect that fish alone can be eaten by dozens of people."

Wen Jin saw Wei Chenglan's simple face, full of smiles, and his eyes blinking brightly, knowing that he was calculating how much the ducks and sheep at home could sell.

Sure enough, Wei Chenglan excitedly said to Wen Jin: "I have calculated, before the Chinese New Year, I can repay you fifty taels of silver." ”

"Uncle, your life hasn't stabilized yet, don't be in a hurry to pay back, next spring, you won't buy sheep anymore? Don't you want to buy a few calves to raise? That's all for money. ”

"Hehe, okay, Wen Jin, your mind, uncle remembers."

On the way back, Wen Jin and Wei Chenglan turned around and went to Huaijin Mansion. On the climbing plow, there were more than a dozen fish, as well as a basket of duck eggs and a bag of rice, which were given to Iriyun Academy.

Wen Han had already received the letter, and when he heard the report from the academy guard, he immediately couldn't help but go out with joy.

"Hey, Qian Wenhan, what are you going to do here?" Classmate Shen Ping grabbed his arm.

"Someone from my family came to see me." Wen Han said patiently.

"Isn't your house quite far from here?" Shen Ping seemed to be quite concerned, but in fact, his eyes were full of contempt, and he was thinking about how to make fun of Wen Han.

This Shen Ping is from Shaxi County, Huaijin Prefecture, and his grandfather Shen Wangyun was the first assistant of the cabinet of the Jurong Dynasty, and after the old man died, their family moved back to their hometown from the capital.

Although Shen Wangyun has been dead for more than ten years, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Shen family, not to mention in Huaijin Mansion, is Liangzhong Province, which is still very influential.

Shen Ping's father is the third in line, although he is a concubine, but the eldest and second eldest of the Shen family are both officials outside, the uncle's family stays in the capital, and the second aunt follows the second uncle to take office, and there are only his father and the little uncle Shen Mingxi who has just become a marry, Shen Mingxi also likes to travel outside, so his memory is not under pressure because of the concubine.

Shen Ping is a few years older than Wen Han, he is the only six non-talented people in the Cloud Academy, there were originally twenty-one talents here, and there were six in the middle of the move this fall, Shen Ping was at home, boasting to his parents that he was a talent, and he took the autumn exam for the second time this year, and the fact gave him a slap in the face, and once again fell to Sun Shan, which made him angry and angry, in the school, he always felt that he was being pointed at behind his back, he didn't dare to provoke those movers, he could only bully a few talents, Wen Han was young, and his grades were not good, which was the object of his bullying.

The more than 30 people in the Cloud Academy have now left the academy and gone to the capital, preparing to participate in next year's examination, and a few older Xiucai don't care about their teenage children on weekdays, Shen Ping is particularly arrogant during this time, and he has intensified his bullying of Wen Han, passing on the humiliation and trouble of not being lifted.

Shen Ping was about to say something and humiliate Wen Han, when a low cough came from behind him: "Ahem!" ”

Shen Ping looked back, and his face darkened.

The person who came was called Shen Jun, the son of a girl from the Shen family, his mother died early, and Shen Mingxi, the fourth master of the Shen family, brought him back a few years ago. I don't know what the reason is, Shen Mingxi is at home, so he asked his nephew to call Shen Jun and follow his surname, but Shen Jun has no opinion.

Shen Ping whispered bad things about Shen Jun behind his back: "This stupid guy was enlightened at the age of six, and he hadn't read a few books by the age of ten, and he couldn't even memorize the Analects. ”

Wen Han contacted Shen Jun and found that this was not the case at all, Shen Jun just didn't like the Four Books and Five Classics, which were books for exams, and other miscellaneous essays, but he read a lot, astronomical history, even geography, farming, hydraulic engineering, and even production skills books like "Heavenly Works", he read a lot.

Shen Ping also said that Shen Jun was domineering and domineering, and the fourth uncle Shen Mingxi was young and talented, but it was only because of his straightforward temperament that the uncle let him take care of the family's affairs first, walked thousands of miles, and saw tens of millions of people re-enter the officialdom. Such a person personally supervised Shen Jun to study, and he was also very angry, Shen Jun had just arrived at Shen's house, and he had a thorn under his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still at all, and he was beaten a lot.

It was still the second uncle Shen Minglan who went to Beijing to report on his work, passed through Huaijin Mansion, and lived at home, he talked with Shen Jun for a long time, and then sent people to Zhuyun Academy, which was considered to liberate Shen Mingxi.

With this statement, the classmates of Zhuyun Academy all felt that Shen Ping had not wronged Shen Jun. The teaching at Izumo Academy is very rigorous, and the students study very hard. Only Shen Jun is an exception, he listens to the class if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to listen to the class, he runs out to play, he is such a prodigal, but he took the exam for the first time this year, and even made a name for himself, and his grades are much better than Wen Handu, he is a student.

The talents of the Jurong Dynasty are divided into three levels, and the best ones are called "Yusheng", and the government pays grain on a monthly basis; secondly, it is called "proliferation", which does not provide food, and there is a certain quota for "endowment" and "proliferation"; The third is "epiphysis", which is just an identity, and he is not even qualified to participate in the lifting examination. This grade is not static, every year the academic officer will hold a grade exam, will be reordered, if the results are too poor, will be dismissed.

Shen Ping was still in the second year of Xiucai's examination, and only in Xuezheng's inspection examination did he get the rank of a student, he was very jealous of Shen Jun's step-by-step approach, plus his classmates in Zhuyun Academy, he was very disdainful of Shen Jun's deceitful behavior, and few people paid attention to him, and Shen Ping's slander behind his back was the only market.

Shen Jun doesn't take it seriously, and still goes his own way.

Wen Han's articles often reveal between the lines that "only reading the books of sages and sages, not caring about the people's livelihood and suffering, is useless to learn, and loses the true character of a reader." His point of view made the bishop their husband Lu Zhao very displeased. Shen Jun gradually made eye contact with Wen Han. It turned out that he particularly hated Lu Zhao's benevolence and righteousness at every turn, and regarded his reputation as greater than the sky, and even thought that he could not break his reputation even if he was crushed to pieces, so when Lu Zhao came to lecture, he was mostly absent.
