"Good! good word!" the old man shook his head and praised.

As a law student, Ning Caichen can get this handwriting.

Characters are a person's face, and as they are likely to be legal workers in society, a beautiful handwriting will add a lot of color to their future work. So as long as you want to do it in this industry, you don't practice calligraphy.

Ning Caichen can't read, but he still has talent for words.

A beautiful thin gold body. This character alone can keep up with the calligrapher's handwriting.

It's just that I don't know if there is still Song Huizong in this world. If there is, it is inevitably suspicious of flattery.

In the face of this "Song of Righteousness", the old man read it over and over again, and he couldn't put it down.

"Old man, listening to your recitation, you are also a literati, how did you end up in such a situation. ”

In ancient times, there were four voices in reading, and it was easy to hear whether a person was a scholar or not.

Ning Caichen's "Song of Righteousness" convinced the old man, and he only then made friends with his peers, and no longer regarded himself as a prison veteran. "Scholar, the old man was enlightened at the age of three, a child at the age of eight, and a talent at the age of twelve. So he retired and wrote a book. But when I write history, I say that I use the past to satirize the present, I write poems, that I use poetry to ridicule the government, and that I write ghost stories that I use evil words to confuse the public. In the end, I rewrote the biography, but I didn't expect that the man would rebel. ”

Although the old man didn't say why he came in, he could guess.

Song, do not scold people with speech, enter the scholar class, and can speak freely. But this does not mean that rebellion is equally innocent.

His characters rebelled, and it was impossible for him not to be implicated.

Ning Caichen said: "Old man, when I go out, I will definitely rehabilitate you." ”

"Rehabilitation?" the old man squinted at him and said, "It's not certain whether you can go out or not?" Anything I write outside offends people. It's good here, at least it's real. ”

As a law student, he was interested in fighting a lawsuit, and on a whim, he forgot that he was still in prison.

The face is in a hurry, the official uniform and official boots, and the round face has figure-eight eyebrows. It's not like a county official, but like the owner of a bun shop.

"Ning Gongzi has suffered!"

This round-faced fat official is the county official of Hangzhou City. This guy is called Qian Yi, which means that he only talks about righteousness with Qian. But he didn't give any money! Which one did he sing? Also, why does he look so much like Wang Jing?

"You bastard! How can you be filthy and fair, it's really slippery. ”

"Master, this is the child's beads, as well as the two hundred taels of compensation paid by the shop. "On the right foot of the county magistrate is kneeling the gold shop owner. The beads and the silver were all held above their heads.

What's going on?

Ning Caichen became more and more puzzled.

"Congratulations to Master Ning, the second place in the first class of the high school exam, Master Tanhua. ”

The college examination, that is, the examination of Xiucai, the first and second class are called the first class, and the top three are also called (small) champions, (small) tanhua, and (small) solution yuan. It is a reward for those who pass the exam.

Now you understand.

As soon as he became a showman, he was the ruling class of scholars, although it was only the lowest ruling class, and he was also a scholar. Although Song couldn't help but be a businessman, this did not mean that a businessman could climb on the head of the scholars.

In the past, Ning Caichen was just a child, which was nothing, but now he has not only become a showman, but also a higher middle school.

The good news reached the county, but no one could be found, so I inquired. This Ning Caichen's family is poor, and he will go home after the hospital examination, and he does not dare to stay for one more night to save money.

The county magistrate traced down this line, only to find that this person was now in his own prison.

At night, he didn't dare to enter the cell, and as soon as it was dawn, he took Qi Ya's servants to see Ning Caichen.

This Jiangnan is already at the peak of his literary style, and a Tanhua was defiled by businessman Jia Fan and went to prison, not to mention that he knew the county of the six products (the county was the sixth product), even Fu Yin couldn't afford it. So this time, he not only came to the prison of the demon in person, but also took a penny from the gold shop owner's 200 taels of apology. For Qian Yi, this is even more uncomfortable than ripping his flesh.

However, this Tanhua was imprisoned by Fan, and once he made a fuss, he would probably not even be able to rip off the flesh in the future, and whether the black gauze hat could be kept was a problem.

In such a case of a merchant riding on the head of a scholar, if nothing happens, nothing will happen, and once something happens, no one will protect him.

Knowing the cause and effect, Ning Caichen immediately hurried home.

I didn't return overnight, and I don't know what my mother was worried about.

Hurried to the entrance of the village. The naughty boys at the entrance of the village screamed and shouted. "Master Tanhua is back, Master Tanhua is back!"

When I entered the village, all the neighbors of the seven aunts and eight aunts gathered to talk.

Ning Caichen responded while walking towards his home without slowing down. The neighbors knew that he had been hit, and no one dared to block his way, and they were very satisfied to be able to come to him and talk.

"Mother, mother!" entered the house, and threw aside all the good news, and went straight to his mother. "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Ning's mother collapsed on the bed, next to the neighbor's help. "Your mother knew that you were in high school, and she was so happy. I've already drunk ginger soup and it's fine. ”

Ning's mother also stood up, tremblingly groped out a faded red cloth from the wall tiles in the corner of the bed, handed it to Ning Caichen and said, "Son! This is my mother's dowry, and you can't treat the good news badly." ”

"Mother, my son has silver. "Ning Caichen will never accept this dowry.

Ning Caichen went out of the house and paid the good news, so he came in to accompany his mother. Ning's mother pushed him out and asked him to greet his neighbors.

Such a happy event is to hold a banquet to entertain the neighbors.

Ning Caichen went out, took out the silver, and begged the villagers to buy vegetables.

"Wow! If you buy any vegetables, you can have them in the field, and let your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pull them out. ”

Ning Caichen said: "Vegetables and vegetables are fine, but this fish and meat must be bought after all." ”

Li Zheng took the silver and found three or two men to go to the evening market to buy fish and meat.

Knowing that there was no means of preservation in this era, Ning Caichen specially instructed them to buy live.

After a short time, they drove a pig, a sheep, and a dozen chickens and ducks back with fish balls in pots.

Ning Caichen gave them ten taels and let them spend the money. I didn't expect them to buy so many things, and there were still leftovers.

It's no wonder that in ancient times, the most expensive thing was horses, but it didn't take ten taels to drive a horse. In "Dream of Red Mansions", Grandma Liu saw a meal of crabs in Jiafu for 24 taels of silver, and sighed that the small family could live for a year. You must know that Grandma Liu's family was also middle-class at that time, she had a house and land and could afford to hire a worker, and the first time she went to Jiafu to fight the autumn breeze, she got 20 taels of silver, and she was very grateful.

Before the Song Dynasty, the total amount of silver was too small, the value was too high, and it had not yet become a circulating currency, only existing in the imperial court rewards and accounting settlements. "Song History Food and Goods" and "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian" both mentioned that since the Zhenzong Dynasty, due to the small stock of silver is not enough to catch up with the development of the economy, the price of silver has continued to rise, basically more than 2,000 copper coins as one tael of silver.
