I sold soy sauce in ancient times

"Okay, then Xiang Bao and I will borrow it later." Xiang Chen felt that he couldn't do anything, so he let Xiang Bao do it alone.After all, these things are still used by his family.

"Okay." Xiang San nodded, and then drank the sugar water.Waiting for lunch, after lunch, Xiang Chen and Xiang Bao went directly to the village to borrow cattle.

Kong You was also bored and went with Xiang Chen and the others. He felt that he was wasting his time now.It's been so long and nothing has happened yet.Even planting a herb is so troublesome, let alone other things.I feel that Xiang Chen is getting more and more unreliable, and I feel that I may be fooled.If I am really fooled by a farmer, I will be in the son of the aristocratic family in the future.I really can't hold my head up anymore, and I can't become the biggest joke.

When Xiang Chen and the others walked halfway, they saw that the village chief was arguing with someone.Seeing that the other person is also from Xiangjia Village, it should be, but Xiang Chen has no impression.

"Xiang Huaisheng borrowed money from the village chief again." Xiang Bao said with a curled lip, and Xiang Chen heard the name.It suddenly occurred to me that this was the only boy in the village.It seems to be 20 years old now, and I still haven't been admitted as a scholar.It has been several years since the exam, for their poor village.It's not bad to have a Tongsheng, and it's the only one.

"He has to go to the village chief's house to borrow money every time?" Xiang Chen asked a little puzzled, but the village chief seemed to lend it to him.It's strange, Xiang Huaisheng's family does not seem to be very rich.It is estimated that there is not much money to give to Xiang Huaisheng.

"That's right, every time his mother and father went to borrow it, the village chief stopped borrowing it. Later, he had no choice but to ask Huaisheng to borrow it by himself. The village chief is not good at discrediting a Tongsheng. Every time he borrows some Give it to him, but I haven't seen him pay it back." Xiang Bao also heard from the villagers, but this matter is not a secret in the village.Those who can be regarded as knowing know it.

"How many times has he passed the exam?" Xiang Chen felt that the road to official career in ancient times was really very difficult.Especially poor scholars like this, after all, there are quite a few rich people who also go on official careers.Moreover, the matter of taking the imperial examination is really not a simple matter.Only a few are recruited at a time, but there are a lot of people who take the exam.It is different from the modern college entrance examination. After all, the ratio of enrollment is quite different.Moreover, it was very expensive to raise a scholar in ancient times.Paper and pens are very expensive things in this era, and families without money cannot afford these things at all.

"I don't know how many times, but his Tongsheng was admitted when he was ten years old. So, at that time, the people in the village said that he was the most likely to be admitted as a scholar. But, how old is he now? It's not that he didn't pass the exam. , how can it be so easy to be a scholar." Xiang Bao continued.

"He's already Tongsheng, it's basically impossible for him to give up." Xiang Chen felt that this Xiang Huaisheng was also waiting to leap to the dragon's gate.However, Longmen is so high.Not everyone can jump over it, most of them can't jump over it.The mermaids are here to stay.

"That's right, so his family is so poor that they have nothing left. They are still taking the exam, and the village chief has actually given up on him. It's just that he doesn't want to give up." Xiang Bao also nodded in agreement.

"Is he married?" Xiang Chen then asked another question.

"His mother doesn't like it in the village, but who can look at his family in the city? There is a family in Shangtiao Village, a very wealthy lady. I have a crush on Xiang Huaisheng, but, they The requirement is that you must be a scholar before you can get married. The lady of that family heard that she failed to win after all these years. Finally, she couldn't wait and married someone else. She really married a scholar. It happened last year. Afterwards, Xiang Huaisheng's mother kept looking for him. It's a pity that rich people don't like his family. His mother doesn't like his family. Moreover, Xiang Huaisheng hasn't been admitted as a scholar for so long. Those I'm thinking about it, but I don't think about it anymore." Xiang Bao continued to explain to Xiang Chen.

"Just a child so proud?" Hearing Xiang Bao's words, Kong You really didn't expect to be in such a small place.A boy can do this, he is still a scholar.There is no such exaggerated behavior.

"He's the only boy in the village." Xiang Chen looked at Kong Ju and said, when there was only one boy in a village.Why don't they just become arrogant, and they also have the capital of arrogance.After all, he is the only scholar in this village.

"Hmph..." Kong You sneered disdainfully.

At this time, Xiang Chen and the others walked over, just passing by Xiang Huaisheng.Xiang Huaisheng raised his head and glanced at Xiang Chen, Kong You and the others.He also heard about these people.He has been studying recently and has not left the village.However, his mother will talk about the affairs of the village every day when she eats.

"Xiang Chen..." Xiang Huaisheng suddenly stopped Xiang Chen, and Xiang Chen froze for a moment.This person has never talked to himself, and he remembers this matter very clearly.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Chen looked at Xiang Huaisheng expressionlessly, it must be nothing good to stop him like that.

"The village chief said, you have money now. I don't know if it's okay, so let's share a few taels first. When I'm in high school, I will return it to you." Xiang Huaisheng said to Xiang Chen in a polite tone.This guy has a child, and he can't even speak properly.

"You mean, you must have won this time?" Xiang Chen raised his brows and looked at Xiang Huaisheng. Such a person still wants to pursue an official career.This kind of person can give PASS in the first episode in the officialdom.

Xiang Huaisheng frowned when he heard Xiang Chen's words.He thought that as long as he opened his mouth, Xiang Chen would definitely be willing to lend it to him.She didn't expect Xiang Chen to ask him such a question.

"Yes, I'm sure this time. So, if you lend it to me, I will never forget this kindness." Xiang Huaisheng nodded directly at the end, knowing that if he said he couldn't win.Xiang Chen probably really wouldn't lend it to him, and there was nothing he could do about it.Everything that could be sold at home was sold, and now there is really nothing left at home.I can only rely on borrowing money to take the exam.Naturally, he would not give up, and he had only borrowed half the money from the village chief.What is this little money enough for, he naturally has to think of other ways.The village chief told him about Xiang Chen.

"How many times have you taken the exam? Didn't your mother always say that you will pass the exam every time? Did you pass the exam?" Xiang Bao was really dissatisfied when he heard Xiang Huaisheng's words.This person is still a scholar, how can he be so thick-skinned.Why should Xiang Chen lend him money?

When Xiang Huaisheng heard Xiang Bao say this about him, his expression became gloomy, "If I go to high school, everyone in the village will have a bright face. You are also a villager, shouldn't you contribute?" What Huaisheng said was very natural.

"No, what does it have to do with me if you win? You are not my family, can you still give me your talent after you win?" Xiang Bao replied directly to Xiang Huaisheng.

Both Kong You and Xiang Chen looked at Xiang Bao in surprise, and Xiang Chen felt that Xiang Bao's character seemed to be like this.It's just, when I met myself before.It turned out that the reason why they talked less, so they also talked less.

"You are also a member of the village. You will be able to enjoy the glory when I am in high school. Everyone in the village will benefit. Why shouldn't you? Even the village head will not lose my face. What do you mean by this?" ?" Xiang Huaisheng directly carried the village head out.

"The village chief didn't care about your face, he just didn't think you were so cheeky. Your mother borrowed it, and the village chief borrowed it. It's not that he didn't borrow it. He thought you were a child. The village chief was embarrassed to say it directly. Yes, why don't you say you didn't see it?" Xiang Baoke didn't give Xiang Huai any face.

"You..." It was the first time that Xiang Huaisheng was treated so lowly by a person, no one in the village would give him a three-pointer.He was actually caught by Xiang Bao, who said these words so directly here.

"Are you so crazy as a child? Then how can a scholar like me be so crazy?" Kong You looked at Xiang Huaisheng with a look of disdain at this moment.

Kong You's words made Xiang Huaisheng's expression change immediately, "Are you a scholar?" Xiang Huaisheng's eyes widened, and he looked at Kong You in disbelief.

"Oh, unfortunately, I can only pass the exam as a scholar. I can't go up the exam, or I'm an official now." Kong You said with some regrets, he was a scholar who still had to bet against others.His status does not allow him to pursue an official career, so he only takes the exam as a scholar and comes down for fun.

"You, you, it's impossible..." Xiang Huaisheng pointed at Kong You with shaking fingers.

"Seeing that you can't pass the exam, don't bother. It's really too pedantic." Kong You looked at Xiang Huaisheng with disgust, his words made Xiang Huaisheng's face even more gloomy.

"You're just a scholar, why do you think I can't pass the exam?" Xiang Huaisheng glared at Kong You sullenly.

"Is it necessary to judge your virtue? Besides, I am a scholar. You are only a child, and you are talking to me like this here. Are you a little ignorant of etiquette?" Kong You looked at Xiang Huaisheng. Tong Sheng is playing the trick here, and hastened to show off his status as a scholar to make a fool of himself.

"Do you have a writing disc?" Xiang Huaisheng didn't believe Kong You's words at all.

"What a joke, I'm not like you. I even carry my writing disk with me, showing off everywhere." Kong You looked at Xiang Huaisheng with disdain.

"Okay, let's hurry up and borrow a bullock cart. We still have to plow the land, so don't waste another day." Xiang Chen didn't want to waste time with Xiang Huaisheng here.

"Wait a minute, Xiang Chen, you haven't borrowed money from me yet?" Xiang Huaisheng directly blocked Xiang Chen's way.
