Chapter 42: Seeing the Money

In the nineties of the last century, there was a trend of going to sea in the country, and Li Xiaojun's mother also quit her job in the textile factory and went to the sea to open a garment factory. Her mother's factory is doing well, and she has to hire a lot of turners every year, because the work is relatively clean and easy, and the income is not bad, and there are many young girls, so many people come to sign up. In order to reduce the workload, her mother posted a notice that anyone who came to take the exam would have to charge a registration fee of 100 yuan in advance, and after that, they would be refunded, but they would not be refunded. In the 90s, 100 yuan was still very valuable, and some people who felt that their level was not good enough had to pay for the exam, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to report their names.

Li Xiaojun heard that there were many people outside, and suddenly thought of this, hehe sneered, and said in his heart that more than a dozen people were ten taels each, that is, more than a hundred taels, if someone can clear the customs, then slaughter him twice, won't two hundred and forty taels be enough?

Zhou Bin couldn't help but make a mistake when he heard that he had to pay the money, but since the young lady had ordered, she had to go out to spread the word.

Sure enough, not long after he went out, there was a noise outside, and Zhou Bin was able to argue a few words at first, but when he got to the back, he was completely suppressed, so he had to come back for help. But Li Xiaojun is very principled, even if there is a lot of trouble outside, even if Zhou Bin kneels down for her, she will resolutely not give in, she must pay the money before she asks the question, otherwise she will listen to the respect.

It's a big deal that I don't want their money, and the old lady sells the recipe for oyster sauce for two months. Because there is no oyster sauce to sell, Cao Wuye of Jixian Building is quite dissatisfied with Zhou Bin, and also proposed to find a place for them to refine fresh oil, but Li Xiaojun was afraid of revealing the secret recipe and did not agree, and now in order to survive, she can't control so much.

Zheng Sen's group was at a stalemate for a while, and someone proposed, "Eldest son, this sister is too arrogant, why don't you break in and see what else she has to say?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Qian Sunai echoed, "That is, if you don't dare, I will go to Yingtianfu to call the official ......."

He was only halfway through his words when he felt a sharp gaze shoot over, and he hurriedly changed his words, "Ah...... Forget it, when I didn't say anything! ”

Seeing him brake suddenly, Zheng Sen knew that it must have been his master's wife, he was much more stable than him, he glanced at everyone unhappily, and pretended to be very serious and said, "Where is the old courtyard of Qinhuai?" It is a place of grace and grace, and you have all read the books of the sages, how can you do such a thing? Since Li Zhenniang intends to take the school entrance examination, can't the thirteen of us be able to get a couplet? ”

After that, regardless of the reaction of other people, let Sui Xiaowu take out two silver tickets and hand them to Zhou Bin, "This is two hundred taels of silver tickets, please ask Zhenniang to solve the question." ”

Looking at the two colorful silver tickets, Zhou Bin's eyes were about to fall out, and his heart said My mother, Miss is really amazing, she easily earned two hundred taels of silver, which is even more powerful than Zhenniang!

Thinking of the Haikou she boasted last night, he was excited, since the young lady is so good at making money, and she doesn't like to play cards like Zhenniang, then Meixianglou's life is better, and she loves to eat very much, and she will definitely have meat to eat every day in the future, so the old man doesn't have to go to the next house.

Li Xiaojun accepted the money and wrote a couplet very simply.

Fusong Gongzi took it from Zhou Bin's hand and saw that it was written, "The eyelids fell to the ground, and it was difficult to read the book of Confucius." ”

Yes...... Belch......

Zheng Sen frowned, thought hard, and shook his head helplessly after thinking for a while, he knew every word on it, but unfortunately he didn't know how to link it!

Zhou Bin lit an incense stick on the incense burner and reminded, "Miss said, you only have time for a stick of incense, please come in if you come out, and please go back if you don't come out!" ”

"Ah, there's only time for a stick of incense?" All the scholars gasped and looked at Zheng Sen as the leader, "This is a time-limited composition, and the difficulty has increased again!" ”

Before Zheng Sen could speak, a scholar next to him shouted loudly, "Hey, the lady of the Li family is laughing at me for not working hard to study!" ”

Qian Sun Ai, the half-eldest son, was angry yesterday, and today he was ready to take revenge, but he was knocked on by Liu Ru, who was hiding in the dark, before he made a move, and finally found a reason, snorted, and scolded loudly, "Hmph, she is just a Qinglou cousin, what qualifications do you have to criticize us and other scholars?" ”

Before he finished speaking, a sharp pain came from his arm, "Ah......h

Qian Sunai woke up immediately, and couldn't help but want to give herself two mouths, "Mother...... Kiss...... I was wrong, let go, I don't dare anymore! ”

Liu Ru twisted his arm fiercely, and the pain made him inhale the cold air, and the lower link, which was a little eyebrow just now, suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't think of it anymore.

Zheng Sen, who was the leader, saw that his junior brother was in trouble, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "It is said that Li Zhenniang has a good temperament and is a hero, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

Qian Sunai rubbed her arm and echoed, "Well, that's it, that's it, since Zhenniang said so, why don't we follow her, it's also a good story." ”

The two sang and harmonized quickly resonated with others, "That's it...... It is...... With the joint examiner, this is another good story! ”

"We are fortunate to participate in it, and we will definitely be able to go down in history in the future!"

"Hmph...... A bunch of delusional people who don't know the height of the sky! Liu Ru scolded lightly, looked at Zheng Sen and said, "Master Zheng, half of the incense has been burned, don't talk about those useless ones, let's hurry up and wait for me to breathe." ”

Zheng Sen was suddenly dumbfounded and hesitated, "This ...... Let me think about it. ”

Zhou Bin silently looked at the scene in front of him, inevitably a little proud in his heart, and reminded him in a timely manner, "Please also ask the sons to write the next couplet on the paper, and the villain will show it to the young lady, and the young lady can enter it if she approves it, and you can also return the silver taels." ”

Everyone looked at Zheng Senzi, who was the leader, and asked him to show his strength and knock on the door of Meixianglou with exquisite couplets.

Zheng Sen was stared at a little uncomfortable, he thought that he could rely on their help to knock on the door of Meixianglou, but Li Xiaojun temporarily changed the rules and abolished them with one move. Now he can only rely on himself, and he was stunned for a long time. The others did have the right ones, but Zheng Gongzi was the leader of this group, and if he couldn't come out, it would be inconvenient for them to write it even if they did, so everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Zheng Gongzi, the time for a stick of incense has come, haven't you made the next couplet yet?" Zheng Sen was still thinking about it, and Liu Ru spoke again, his face full of ridicule and disdain.

Zheng Sen's face suddenly couldn't hold back, and he knew that he couldn't take advantage of it today, so he had to smile wryly, "I'm just a shallow learner, and I still ask for a teacher...... Mr. Shi help me! ”

Liu Ru was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart that your reaction was quite fast, "Mr. Shi" will be "Mr. Shi".

Seeing his pious look, "Mr. Shi" smiled and said in a broken Wu language, "I didn't come out either!" ”

Zheng Sen didn't believe it, yesterday's couplet was much more difficult than today, she looked at it and came out, today he can come out as long as he has a little time, but he is a little uncomfortable with the new rules, and when he sees a few green smokes, he is restless, and he can't think at all.

Liu Ru refused to make a move, and he couldn't say anything, after all, it was his own wife, so he had to arch his hand and lose his land, "In this case, our skills are not as good as others, let's go." ”

After that, he didn't care about the others, and walked straight away.
