Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 76 Sweet Burden

The shopkeeper was stunned, stroked his beard, couldn't help but admire, and said: "Unexpectedly, the little brother has a lot of ambition, so Yao will wish Shen Shulang that he can get what he wants as soon as possible."

After all, this Lianxi Academy doesn't mean you can get in if you want to. Ordinary scholars can only get in in the first three years of the exam. If they don't pass the exam in the past three years, they pack up and go home.

After going to school for three years, but failing to pass the Juren exam, that is not material for studying, and it is the real thing to go home early to find another way of life.

Of course, there are also those who have been admitted to the scholar, but have not been admitted after three years of study. After returning home, they have studied hard and practiced hard before they are admitted.

But these are still a minority, not very glorious.

If someone has real talent and real learning, he would have already passed the exam after one or two years of study, so why wait until the third year.

The shopkeeper sent Shen Chenlan away, and the boy behind took out two copies of the Tibetan copy that Shen Shulang had copied, wrapped them in a piece of cloth, and reminded the shopkeeper along the way.

"Boss, this copy has arrived. Didn't you say that you want to send two copies to Mr. Zou of Lianxi Academy when you have more? Coincidentally, there was also a letter from Master Xu of Huatian Village a few days ago, so I asked you to send it together." Go to the academy, if you have no other orders, then I will arrange for someone to take the letter with me on the way."

The shopkeeper was stunned, thanks to the reminder from the servant, he remembered it.

He also has some connections in Lianxi Academy.

Because of the relationship between running a bookstore, I had some contact with the master of the academy. It happened that Mr. Zou asked him to find a collection of books.

He worked so hard to find the book, but it was out of print, he spent a lot of time looking for it, and he was reluctant to read it, so he just gave it away.

But his handwriting is also ugly, and none of the scholars who copied books can handle it well, so this matter was shelved.

Until I met Shen Chenlan.

Now that the book is available, the shopkeeper is naturally not stingy, he waved his hand and let the boy do it.

"Speaking of which, Master Xu's son, Xu Xingling, is also studying in Lianxi Academy. I haven't seen him write any letters to his son. How come he is enlightened now?"

The boy looked at the signature on the envelope, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Master Xu has written two letters, only one is for Xu Xiucai, and the other is for Mr. Zou just like you."

"Oh?" The shopkeeper became curious now, "Isn't old man Xu very tired of flirting with people? Why is he writing a letter to get in touch with Mr. Zou now? I think he used to be a student of Lianxi Academy, and he and Zou My husband is still a classmate, but I didn’t pass the Juren exam, and after struggling for a while, my family finally moved to Huatian Village.”

The boy didn't know what Master Xu was thinking, so he packed up the books and letters, handed them over to the caravan on the way to Changping Prefecture, gave them some money, and asked them to send them along the way.

Here, Shen Chenlan took the money and recited it together with the book to be copied next time.

This time I gave a deposit of one tael as usual, but only 15 taels were brought out in the end.

But the 15 taels of silver is not light, for Shen Chenlan, it is a sweet burden.

When he came to the door, he put all the heavy objects he had put down on his back one after another, and together with Jiang Ning, he set foot on the way home.

Because things were done quickly, it was only a little later in the afternoon, and I greeted the villagers in the same village at the gate of the city as usual.

This time they planned to go with the large army in the village. After all, the two of them carried a lot of things, and Shen Chenlan was carrying 15 taels of silver on his back. If they were robbed on the way, it would be troublesome.

Fortunately, the people in the village were also quick to do things, and they sold out their things when they went to the city, and they all wanted to go home early.

So the two waited for a while, and everyone was there, and everyone packed up and went home together.
