Little Scholar's Circle of Husbands

"Ah? Need to read so many books? Didn't I go to fail the exam?" Lu Fangzhou looked at the list of books handed over by Mr. Sun Ge stupidly. There was already a stack of twenty books of exam questions.

"If you fail the ranking, you have to act like a failed one. If you can't answer the basic questions, then it's not like that, and it will be regarded as cheating." Sun Ge took a long look at Lu Fangzhou,

The types of questions in the three rounds of the Daliang Dynasty General Examination are basically the same as those in the three rounds of the provincial examination. The meaning of the first examination continues the meaning of the Four Books and Five Classics in the rural examination, adding the meaning of other classics, and removing the examination questions of poems or Fu; the second examination remains the same. Examinations, judgments, edicts, reports, and tables have increased the number of questions; the third session is also a policy, and the questions in the rural examination are more general, and the policies in the general examination are related to current affairs, and special attention is required when answering the questions cautious.

For Lu Fangzhou, the difficulty is still the first round. He has read too few books, and a bad answer in the first round is the most likely to be characterized as cheating, because it is the basic skills, and the basic skills are not solid. Candidates flooded with water.

"Don't worry, there's still some time left. Those in the village will release more in advance, and hand it over to the masters of each village. Set aside more time to read it. I will also watch it with you. If you don't know, I will answer it in time." Yun Yan hurriedly comforted her.

When he heard that Yan Yan was accompanying him to read, Lu Fangzhou thought, okay, he read...

As for the itinerary, it is very convenient to go to Chang'an on Zhedong Road. A canal was dug in the previous dynasty, with Luoyang as the center, reaching Yandi in the north and Hangzhou on Zhedong Road in the south.After the founding of Daliang, the Zhedong Canal was dug on Zhedong Road, from Hangzhou to Yuezhou to Mingzhou.

Lu Fangzhou can go to Chang'an by boat most of the time, but after arriving in Luoyang, there are two options, one is to abandon the ship and go to Chang'an by land. Luoyang is the eastern capital, and the official road between Chang'an and Luoyang has always been smooth. There is an endless stream of vehicles coming and going; the second is to continue to take the waterway. Because Concubine Du Gui likes Luoyang Peony, the current emperor has dug a new Guangtong Canal for her, smoothing the waterway between Chang'an and Luoyang. Well, a student of Lu Fangzhou's status is not suitable for this path.

Therefore, the itinerary that Yan Yan and Sun Gelao finally decided was to take a boat from Yuezhou to Luoyang, and then change land in Luoyang.

There are many merchant ships between Yuezhou and Luoyang, and there are also special passenger ships, which are convenient to take and just find a suitable price.As for the entourage, there are no bookboys or servants in Lu Fangzhou's house, and most of the males in the Sun residence are old, so he immediately went to find a young one, but he was afraid that the time would be too short to recognize his character.

Yun Yan then proposed to postpone.

After a while, in November, this year's tea sales basically came to an end, so Lu Fangzhou went to Zhenpinzhai to settle this year's payment.

The shopkeeper, Yunxiu, calculated carefully with Lu Fangzhou, and asked with a smile, "My lord, are you going to Chang'an City in February next year?"

Lu Fangzhou nodded, regretting: "Yes, I'm going to try it out, I'm afraid I can't handle the tea next year, so don't even think about the tea tasting party."

"Look at what the master said, it's a good thing to go to Beijing to rush for the exam, and if you pass the exam, you will be a Jinshi. When the price rises, why don't you worry about not selling your tea?" Yunxiu smiled.

Lu Fangzhou quickly shook his head: "As far as my level is concerned, it's difficult! It's not that you don't know what happened in the Eastern Zhejiang Dao Gongyuan this year. Those who handed in the papers all won, and they didn't care about the level at all."

"Master Juren is being modest." Yunxiu said with a smile, and then changed the topic, "It's a coincidence that our young master's family is from Chang'an, and early February next year will be the birthday of the old lady at home, and the young master will go back to celebrate her birthday. I directly drove to Chang'an on my own merchant ship. I calculated the time and estimated that it was about the same time as your exam. My young master had a good impression of you, so he asked me: "Would you like to take you with me at that time? I didn't dare to answer at the time. Don't ask for your opinion, if you think it's okay, I'll tell you?"

"This...isn't very good, it will cause trouble for the Young Master's family." Lu Fangzhou thought for a while.

Lu Xiu shook his head: "This is not troublesome, you never went to Chang'an City to take the exam, you don't know that, in those months, merchant ships like to pick up a few masters, if you win, it will be a face-lifting thing, no It is also a good thing to ask for a head, and it will accumulate blessings and virtues."

"This..." Lu Fangzhou thought about it again. When Mr. Sun Ge and Yan Yan decided to take the water route, they didn't propose to charter a boat, but only proposed to take a boat. Both passenger ships and merchant ships are acceptable. Which one is slower? slow search.Now there is a merchant ship going to Zhenpinzhai, maybe we can take it, but we still have to ask Yan Yan and Elder Sun Ge for their opinions, and he replied, "Let me go back and think about it, if it is really possible, I have to trouble the Young Master."

"It's not troublesome. Zhenpinzhai has always been happy to cooperate with you. It's a coincidence and a beautiful thing to have the opportunity to work together together." Lu Xiu smiled, and then handed the settled account to Lu Fangzhou, "Master Juren, you Look, is the number right?"

Lu Fangzhou took it and looked at it one by one. The amount was good, so he took the money and left.

At this time, two months have passed since the release of the list, and the old house of the Zhou family has been repaired.

The Zhou family’s old house is not too big, so we enter the courtyard three times, and there is a row of attached rooms on the left. It is the living place of the owner, with the hall in the middle, the small hall on the left, the dining place in the house, the bedroom on the right, the study on the right side, the residence of the concubines on the left side, and the servant’s room in the third entrance; the third entrance is the children’s room. The residence, the son lives in the east, the daughter lives in the west, the east wing is equipped with a study room, the west side is all residences, and the attached room is also a servant's room.

Lu Fangzhou made a slight change to the layout. The first entry was basically the same. The second entry was because he would not have a concubine's room in the future, so he withdrew the concubine's room and opened it as a small ancestral hall dedicated to Zhou's ancestors. Master Lu It was done so well at the beginning, after Zhou's death, he didn't even take care of the ancestral hall and let it fall into disrepair.

Lu Fangzhou and Yan Yan discussed it. Most of the credit for making such lucrative tea as Daixuanmei should be attributed to the ancestors of the Zhou family. Without their tea gardens and the tea-frying masters they trained, how could it be so easy to make tea? Dai Xuanmei came out.

Move the ancestral tablet of the Zhou family back to the house, so that it can be enshrined, and don't let it be exposed to the wind and rain.Even if someone wants to do evil, he will not dare to come to his house when he moves back home.

Yan Yan didn't object, and Lu Fangzhou didn't sleep in the Zhou family's old house at night, and moved back when the memorial tablet was moved.

As for the third room, Lu Fangzhou didn't like the design of the son's and daughter's room, he treated his son and daughter the same, and he only had Erniu and his daughter, so the whole room was turned into a place for Erniu to live alone.

However, Er Niu didn't come back to live very often. Sun Ge always thought that Lu Fangzhou's study was important, so he left Er Niu in the Sun's Mansion, and Lu Fangzhou also went to Sun's Mansion every three days, and Er Niu didn't insist on going home to live. .

So Lu Fangzhou went out of Zhenpinzhai and returned to Zhou's old house, walked through the main hall directly to the study room, walked through a row of bookshelves in the study room to the end, opened the organ on the blue brick at the end with his foot, the blue brick moved, impressively It is an authentic way.

Lu Fangzhou entered, walked through the tunnel, and when he came out, he was already in the rockery of Yan Yan's house.

Yan Yan's courtyard is much more casually built than the Zhou family's old house. There are only two entrances, and there are not many houses. Half of the area has been turned into a garden, and the authentic exit is in the rockery of the garden.

When Fang walked out of the rockery, Lu Fangzhou saw Yan Yan, who was sitting on the veranda of the opposite water pavilion, holding a book in his hand, and feeding the fish while reading, so leisurely.

Lu Fangzhou was delighted to see it, crossed the small bridge beside the pool, and entered the water pavilion.

Yan Yan already sensed Lu Fangzhou's arrival, put down the book in his hand, wrapped his long arms around Lu Fangzhou who had just stepped into the corridor of the water pavilion, and hugged Lu Fangzhou, who had just stepped into the corridor of the water pavilion, bowed his head and kissed affectionately.

"Hmm..." Lu Fangzhou protested slightly, male god, I'm still very happy to have such a passionate kiss as soon as he came up, but, but I have something to tell you, can you stop for a while~~~ Mmm! ! !Well, enjoy first~~~

After a long time, the two reluctantly separated, Lu Fangzhou asked with a strange smile, "Why are you so enthusiastic today?"

"It's November in a blink of an eye, and the day when you go to Chang'an City is getting closer and closer. When I think that I won't be able to eat you for two months, I feel very reluctant." Yan Yan replied.

eat! ! !The male god used the word "eat"!Hey, don't be so shameless in broad daylight, but I also like shame.I don’t want to go either ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhh

Lu Fangzhou looked at Yan Yan thoughtfully, and rubbed hard.

Yan Yan smiled, and hugged him even tighter: "Zhenpinzhai's money can be settled."

"Clear." Lu Fangzhou nodded, then elaborated on the matter mentioned by the shopkeeper of Zhenpinzhai, and said, "I haven't agreed, so I replied to him and asked the old man for his opinion. Of course, I should ask him first. You, ask for the elder's opinion."

"The shopkeeper is right. During the spring season over the years, there are indeed many merchant ships who like to take their exams. It was because of this that I and the old man decided to take the boat. It's just that we haven't decided which company to choose. Zhenpinzhai ..." Yan Yan deliberately paused, as if thinking.

He is the young master of Zhenpinzhai. Since he decided to go to Chang'an City with Lu Fangzhou, the identity of the young master is naturally the best way to cover up, so he told Lu Fangzhou some secret stories about the young master of Zhenpinzhai.

Zhenpinzhai's main family is the largest mountain goods merchant in Chang'an City. It is named Sifang Pavilion, which means Sifang of Liangliang, and its footprints can be found in the southeast, north, and west.The fact is indeed the case, the mountain products in the Sifang Pavilion come from all over Daliang, and there are many rare things that come in from Persia in the Western Regions.Zhenpinzhai's young master's family background is also pitiful, he was born in the first house, his son, his father died early, and the second house gained power, which robbed him of a lot of things. Fortunately, the old lady is still here, and sent him to the branch in Jiangnan to run the business.

Zhenpinzhai spreads all over East Zhejiang and West Zhejiang. The place where Daliang established the dynasty re-divided the area of ​​the former dynasty. The West Zhejiang Road in Daliang is the Jiangnan West Road of the former dynasty, and the East Zhejiang Road is the Jiangnan of the former dynasty. Dongdao and Huainan Road, these two places are the most beautiful places in the Liang Dynasty, and the two places are rich in tea, which is very popular in the Northern Man, Western Regions, and Persia.

The old lady's move can be regarded as finding an excellent place for the young master of Zhenpinzhai. This move naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the second room, so the young master didn't go back to Chang'an often.And Zhenpinzhai's business is getting bigger and bigger under Erfang's making things difficult, which also shows that this young owner is very capable.

"It's really a good idea to go with him." Yan Yan nodded and said, "Let's go to Xunge Lao and ask. If he thinks it's okay, you can talk to the shopkeeper."

"Yes." Lu Fangzhou nodded. He has always had a good impression of Zhenpinzhai. If both Yan Yan and Mr. Sun Ge think it is good, then it would be a great thing~~

The author has something to say: Yan Yan: My people will naturally escort her there in person!
