Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 76 Someone Sells Cheat Sheet

It turned out that Wang Yin wanted to find a place nearby to store his cattle and horses.

There are also inns, but because there are too many students who come to take the exam, the space is limited.

And because there are too many cattle and horses, those guys are not easy to treat slowly.

There are already residents in the vicinity doing this kind of business, and the price is also cheap. Many people live in the inn, and they put their carriages in the homes of nearby residents to take care of them.

When Wang Yin was searching, he found a resident with a spare room, so he asked if it could be rented out.

The resident is an old man with a son who runs a small business. The family house is an ancestral house with a lot of rooms, but because it is located slightly inward, it cannot be rented out as a facade.

The old man is too old to make money. His son is a street peddler, and the silver he earns is enough to cover their expenses.

Although there are no livestock at home, there is still a dilapidated cowshed, so I just want to recruit a cow and horse to earn pocket money.

When Wang Yin asked about the house for rent, the old man was pleasantly surprised.

You must know that many students who are rushing for the scientific examination like to live in inns. Living in an inn does not require food and lodging, and students gather together to facilitate communication or obtain news.

There are also those who live in the homes of ordinary residents, but the conditions of the homes must be good and equipped with all kinds of necessities.

The old man's family was struggling, and it cost him two silver dollars to equip bedding and other things, which his family could not afford.

Hearing that someone wants to move in, the most important thing is to have a bed, so I am naturally very happy.

Wang Yin thought that it would be more convenient for them to rent a few rooms with their bedding and cooking utensils, so he asked Qin Shao for his opinion.

Of course Qin Shao was willing, but he didn't want to have anything to do with those students, he could just finish the exam by himself.

Immediately took people with Wang Yin to the resident's house.

Although the house is old, it is clean. The house is divided into front and back yards. The old man and his son usually live in the front yard, and the back yard is vacant, which is very quiet.

As for the place to cook, the yard is so big, it is not troublesome to find some stones to build a stove at will, and it is not troublesome to make do with a place to cook.

Immediately settled.

There are still five days for the exam. After the exam, I plan to spend two days wandering around the De'an Mansion, so I simply set a time of seven days.

The old man felt that they had taken advantage of it, since the house was empty anyway, so he hesitated to ask for 1 tael of silver.

Qin Shao and the others paid directly, and then drove the mule cart in, helped the old man clean the room and settled him down.

The old man's son is also a real person, and he heard about the situation when he came back.

They brought some bricks directly from the outside and built a simple cooking stove for them.

There are also a lot of vegetables planted in the backyard of the house, and they can take whatever they want.

Scholars are very respectable these days. I heard that Qin Shao is the head of the county trial in Anlu Jingshan, and he is very attentive to them, which makes Qin Shao feel a little embarrassed.

A few people packed up, had some food at the restaurant on the street, and then went back to rest.

Running all the way, Qin Shao didn't wake up until it was getting late.

Han Jinrong was about to finish dinner, but was stopped by Qin Shao.

After being tired for such a long time, there is no need to cook. I will go out for dinner, just to see the surrounding night markets.

I heard from the landlord, Mr. Gu, that the night market in De'an is quite lively at night.

Especially when the students come to take the exam every year, it is the most lively, and there will be a curfew after Haishi in the evening.

A few people arrived at the night market street that Old Man Gu mentioned, and it was really crowded with people and it was very bustling.

All kinds of snacks and juggling gadgets are dazzling.

For safety's sake, Qin Shao asked Han Jinrong to wear men's clothing, which made it easier for her to walk.

They ate wontons and pancakes at a bakery, and then started shopping at the night market.

When passing by an inn, I saw a lot of people gathered together, many of them were wearing school clothes.

The third son was curious and squeezed in directly.

Qin Shao looked at the crowd with a smile, thinking of the grandpa and aunt who snapped up things in the previous life.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Someone is selling a cheat sheet, do you want to buy one too?"

When Xiao Sanzi squeezed out, his hat was messed up.

"What cheat sheet?"

Qin Shao asked in surprise.

Could it be that in this bright world, some people dare to sell exercise papers?

"I don't know either. They say it's a cheat sheet. It's not cheap for 1 tael!"

The third son said.

But if this thing can help the exam, Xiaosanzi, the swindler, thinks that his father can invest in it and try it.

Qin Shao felt that the test questions should not be leaked. This is a big deal. If the test questions were leaked, it would be a major event of beheading in ancient times.

Even if there is a leak, it will not be exposed to the public.

Squeezing forward to check, it turned out that they sold the test papers of the government examinations a few years ago and made them into booklets, which they called cheat sheets.

The price is really not cheap!
Such a small booklet cost 1 tael of silver, how cruel it is!
In fact, the old man Zhu has already told him the type of exams in previous years.

The old man Zhu is a tester, the content of the exam every year, the general types of questions in various places, he loves the Internet these things.

Seeing those candidates who were about to buy those things, Qin Shao sighed.

This is the lack of information, and many children from ordinary families will only come into contact with it when they are approaching the examination room.

After shopping for a while and buying some needed things, they went back.

Qin Shao obeyed the old man Zhu's words, and the next few days would be to rest and read books to recharge his batteries.

Han Jinrong cooks delicious food every day.

Although De'an Mansion is a prefecture, the prices and consumption are actually not very different from those in Anlu Prefecture. It's just that during the exam season, the flow of people is indeed more than that in Anlu Prefecture.

Wang Yin and Xiaosanzi often ran out and wandered around, bringing some gossip or something from time to time.

Which inn raised the price again, and some students were dissatisfied and sued the government office;
The innkeeper was called to reprimand by the steward of the government office, and directly refunded the extra money to the student, and even apologized;

One of the students who came to take the exam seems to be almost 60 years old. He is already a grandfather, and he is still taking reference. Many people worry whether he will have the strength to walk out of the exam room;

A few students almost got into a fight because of a quarrel at the inn.

After a few days of tossing and tossing, on October 15, the government examination officially started.

There were 180 people participating in the government examination this time, and it is said that 40 people were admitted.

The elimination rate is not low. You must know that these people were tried and killed from the county.

When entering the examination room, most of the examinees had serious expressions on their faces.

The process is similar to the county test, but the inspection is more stringent, and there are twice as many soldiers on guard as before.

Qin Shao still brought pancakes this time, and Han Jinrong put them in a box for him to keep warm.

Those who did not bring food, in fact, steamed buns are also provided in the examination room, but they just paid for it.

However, the steamed buns have no taste. Compared with the soft and fragrant pancakes made by Han Jinrong, they are more delicious and can also add salt.

Because Qin Shao is the head of the case in the county, this time he sat in a relatively front seat.

This row should be the best of each county. Qin Shao looked over and saw that there were people in their 40s and [-]s, and some were in their teens, with varying age levels.

Compared with the four county exams, the government exam has three exams this time, and the content of the exam is basically the same.

After the roll paper was handed out, Qin Shao checked for damage or missing as before.

After confirming that it was correct, I took a rough look at the question types, and I was basically familiar with them.

He doesn't worry about those exams like Tie Jing and Mo Yi, those are his strengths, and he memorizes all the articles and interpretations fluently.

The only thing to worry about is the poetry part.

After the test papers for the poetry part were sent out, he quickly checked the topics.
