In the Hanlin Academy, there are many talented and capable people, and they are all extraordinary in appearance and knowledge, and Bi Zimo is among them, which is really not obvious at all.

The result of inconspicuousness is inevitable: depression.

However, he is open-minded, young and light, and can still adjust himself, so that he will not go down the narrow road.

One day, Shangguan was about to celebrate his birthday, Bi Zimo touched his shriveled purse, and looked at the Erjin mansion that was not easy to sell all the land and property in exchange, and was purchased in the corner of the capital.

Hearing the various complaints of the crowded family, he sighed, went to his mother and took ten taels of silver that he was going to use to buy the village, and went out into the street.

Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, there is always a need for "affection" towards Shangguan.

But Shangguan is a high-spirited character, and he also likes antiques, famous paintings, and unique characters, Bi Zimo thought about it, and saw an antique shop with a small face, so he walked in.

It's a little difficult to speak, but Bi Zimo is open-minded, and he is not shy because of the shyness in his pocket.

walked in high-spirited, but the shopkeeper and the guys thought that a big buyer was coming, and they came to greet him in a hurry.

In addition to personally greeting the shopkeeper, he also gave a detailed introduction to the treasure shelves on both sides and the various treasures placed on the counter.

After listening to the shopkeeper's mention of quite expensive items, Bi Zimo smiled bitterly and said frankly: "Shopkeeper, you don't have to push good things to me, to tell the truth, I brought ten taels of silver, you look at this price, pick a more suitable one?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face suddenly changed.

The one who dares to show up enthusiastically and be busy with his work is actually a poor ghost.

Suddenly, his eyes turned up, his nostrils turned to the sky, and his sleeves flicked, he walked back behind the counter, and "crackled" and made an abacus, ignoring this person.

Bi Zimo has a good temper, and he also knows very well the face that this kind of philistine villain will have. To tell the truth, in the past ten years since he grew up, he has seen such a face.

He still smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, you have things that sell at sky-high prices, and naturally there are suitable ones to sell to me, so I bother you to help find a few pieces to come out and take a look." ”

The shopkeeper didn't care.

However, a young man came over impatiently and threw people out: "Just ten taels of silver to return to our store, you are bullying us for being small, right?" Okay, okay, let's go out, you can go to another house to have a look, maybe there is a suitable one. ”

Bi Zimo felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and just wanted to say a few words back, he listened to the shopkeeper's words: "If you don't buy it, get out, don't dirty my family's land." ”

"Hey, shopkeeper, what you said is not right, where do I not buy it? It's because you can't find the right one, I can't buy it, right? Ten taels of silver is not silver? This is the cost of how many families for nearly five years, why do you still look down on people so much? ”

Bi Ziang was said to be angry, so he unceremoniously went back.

Ten taels of silver is nothing to a rich and noble family. But for him, that's the price of several acres of land, how long can he feed his whole family? Not to mention the people at the bottom?

How can you be so belittled and looked down upon?

The shopkeeper ignored him again, and only waved his hand again and again.

Immediately three or four men surrounded him and chased him out.

What's more, there was a young man who pushed him and almost pushed him.

"Stop!"

Bi Zimo was furious, waved his sleeves, and said: "You gang of evil slaves, how much silver do you only get a month?" Dare to look down on ten taels of silver! Do you still think you're the eldest young master of the Kuo family? This official is a five-grade Hanlin, I see which of you dares to touch this official! ”

This scared the boys.

But the shopkeeper raised his head, laughed "sneer", and then raised his palm, and gently patted his face a few times.

sneered: "I'm still an official, I don't have the face to listen to you because you have the face to say." You don't look at what kind of boundary this is, this is the root of the imperial city and the foot of the Son of Heaven.

Don't say that a blanket falls from the sky, just drop a brick casually, and at least smash a big man above the third grade.

You're just a five-grade official, what kind of score are you putting here? He shouted so loudly, as if he was so proud. Your face is not panicked, my old face is panicked for you.

I advise you, it's better to sneak around quickly, right? Don't look here anymore. ”

Bi Zimo: "......"

He was so angry that his face turned red and his heart was burned with anger, but in the end, he could only walk away.

After walking a dozen paces, he could hear a young man shouting behind him, "Slip along the wall, don't fall a brick and hit you." ”

Bi Zimo hated and stomped his feet, so he wanted to go to Jingzhao Yin Yamen and sue these profiteers for a big case.

But halfway up, I came to my senses again.

People have the freedom to buy and sell, and they didn't beat him or scold him, but they just ruined him and lost all face, how can he sue others?

What's more, behind such a shop, it must rely on a thick background, if he makes a big fuss, he will only suffer in the end.

At the root of the Imperial City, such things abound.

Bi Zimo walked for a long, long time before he persuaded himself and returned home with the remaining depression.

He returned the money to his mother, and was not ready to give a gift.

It's a bit of a bad idea: It's just love, anyway, the things that are only worth ten taels of silver that are taken out from the house will not only not make Shangguan happy, but will make Shangguan angry, so it's better not to give it away.

He really understands the difficulties of poor officials.

However, the ten taels of silver could not be kept after all.

There is a lack of people in the family, and a large family lives together, and this one wants to buy this, and that one wants to buy that, and they are always fighting.

Bi's mother decided: first build the grange before talking.

Bi Zimo is already a serious official of the imperial court, and the imperial court has divided fifty acres of land, all of which are tax-free fields.

Bi's mother gave the money to Bi's father, and asked him to find a place in the field and build a house.

Bi's father was also an old farmer, and after going around his fifty acres of land, he found a barren grass area next to the foot of the mountain and drew a line.

Then I went to find someone to draw pictures and the like, and soon three small mud courtyards were built that could accommodate the tenants.

This kind of house does not cost much money, except that the foundation is made of masonry, and the walls above are made of mud. On the roof of the house, cover it with wood and lay it with mud and grass.

But in the end, it's a new house, and it looks quite sturdy.

Bi's father was happy in his heart, so he took the hoe and went to hoe the grass outside the three small courtyards and tidy the ground.

Then I saw a man who looked like a steward coming.
