[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

Jia She thought to himself, it turned out that he was not mistaken when he saw him just now.

He walked to the door, opened it, and said with a smile, "Master Zhang, what a coincidence?"

I saw it at the gate of the yamen, and met here, how could it be a coincidence?

"Yeah." Zhang Heng nodded lightly, he glanced at Chen Ronggui in the room, and then turned his attention to Jia She, "I have something to ask for you, are you free?"

Jia Amnesty thought for a while, and said, "I wonder how long your lord's business will take?"

Chen Ronggui saw Zhang Heng's magnificence, and hurriedly said: "Brother Jia, if you have something to do, go first, don't worry about me."

"Then... well, if I haven't come back later, you can go back and talk to your father about today's situation." Jia She said.

Jia Amnesty turned around and looked at Zhang Heng, "Master Zhang, please."

Jia Amnesty did not expect that Zhang Heng's private room was next door to them, no wonder Zhang Heng knew where he was, it was too coincidental to say.

"Sit down, you don't have to be restrained." Zhang Heng waved his hand, calling for Xiaoer to make a pot of good tea.

After the tea was served, Zhang Heng poured two cups of tea. The tea was good tea, the broth was green, and the fragrance could be smelled before entering the mouth. It was like pear blossoms just blooming, and the faint fragrance hit. What surprised Jia She was not the tea, but the tea. It's Zhang Heng's friendly attitude.

He was secretly puzzled, Zhang Heng, as a third-rank official of the imperial court, and also the uncle of the crown prince, why did he treat him so kindly?

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

Jia Amnesty became vigilant without any trace in his heart.

Zhang Heng seemed unaware of his polite and unfamiliar attitude, and chatted with Jia Amnesty about academic matters as usual.

Zhang Heng's knowledge was beyond Jia Amnesty's expectation. No matter astronomy, geography, or customs, he was able to pick it up immediately. The clouds were light and the wind was light, and his conversation was humorous and just right, like the spring breeze in March, warm and peaceful.

There is a saying that a thousand cups of wine are rare when you meet a bosom friend. Unknowingly, Jia Amnesty didn't notice the passage of time.

It wasn't even until the candles were lit in the room that he suddenly realized that they had talked so much.

"It seems that it's getting late, Enhou should go back earlier, so that your lord won't be worried." The corners of Zhang Heng's mouth were slightly curved, his temperament was as gorgeous as a bright moon,

Jia Amnesty nodded and said: "I have benefited a lot from talking with my lord today, and I will definitely go to your house to bother you in person in the future. Then, lord Zhang, don't think I'm too annoying."

Zhang Heng smiled, his brows and eyes were full of spring, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and the romance was in his eyes, "I don't like to hear what Enhou said. Since you and I can talk, how can it be bothering you?"

"Yes." Jia Amnesty changed his words fluently, "Your Excellency is right."

The two looked at each other.

Zhang Heng: Little fox!

Jia Amnesty: Old fox!

After Jia Amnesty left, Zhang Heng poured himself a drink in the room alone. He smiled suddenly while drinking tea.

interesting.

Jia Amnesty returned home, practiced an stereotyped essay as usual, and after taking a bath, sat on a chair with a book in his hand to read, but he couldn't read it no matter what, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart——Zhang Heng What is the plot of getting so close to him?

He didn't want to judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but the haste of Jia Daishan these days has already shown that the court is now in turmoil, and their family is a princeling. This is destined to be irreversible. Now The prince's faction was faintly weak, and Zhang Heng's every move had to make Jia Amnesty think about it.

Especially after today's discussion, he knew Zhang Heng's ability and talent better than before, and he had to speculate more about the intention behind his behavior.

He thought about it for a long time, but he knew too little. Even if he wanted to figure it out, he couldn't figure it out because of the sea of ​​clouds, mountains and fog.

Might as well try it out.

Jia Amnesty thought, this is a good idea, it happened to be a reward for his kindness, and it was reasonable to come to the door to thank him in person.

However, giving gifts is not an easy task.

Jia Amnesty took this matter to heart, and inquired about Zhang Heng's hobbies and hobbies when he was free. Since the gift was given, it should be according to what he likes and make people happy.

While he was busy with this matter, the rice paper business he had partnered with the Chen family had started to get on the right track.

The location that Jia She helped Chen Ronggui choose was really a good location.

There is a private school nearby, not too far from the Imperial College.

Just opened today.

The big red firecrackers crackled non-stop.

Chen Ronggui dragged Jia Amnesty and hurried over here after lunch.

Today is the first day of opening, and Chen Ronggui could not sit still in the school for a long time. If his father didn't allow him to ask for leave, Chen Ronggui would have rushed to help.

Before they entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, they saw those students crowded together from the inside to the door.

Chen Ronggui had a bad heart, so he hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and walked in.

Jia Amnesty hurried to catch up.

It's the first day of business, so don't let anything happen.

As soon as they entered, they were glared at by others, and someone said dissatisfiedly: "They are all here to buy rice paper, how can they not obey the rules? Even if they want to buy, they have to go to the back row."

To buy rice paper?

Jia Amnesty was very surprised, and exchanged a glance with Chen Ronggui.

"So, you people gathered here to buy rice paper?" Jia She asked gently.

"That's not it, isn't Xiongtai here to buy rice paper?" Seeing that Jia She and Chen Ronggui didn't look like they were about to jump in line, the man said in a soft tone.

Jia Amnesty shook his head, pointed at Chen Ronggui and said, "This business belongs to my friend's family. We just thought something happened, so we were in a hurry and wanted to squeeze in to find out."

"So that's how it is." The man suddenly realized, and then showed an embarrassed smile, "I'm really sorry, I misunderstood you just now, but since this business belongs to this brother's family, can you do me a favor? Let me buy more A few knives of paper."

Chen Ronggui was stunned, a little confused.

The man mistakenly thought that he was unwilling, and quickly said: "I will never buy more, at most I just buy a few dozen pieces of paper. Knives, if you want to buy more, you won’t want to buy more, alas, I would rather you don’t discount it, so I can buy more.”

Hearing this, Jia She and Chen Ronggui couldn't understand what else, the store opened today, and on the first day, they offered discounts to attract customers in order to make a name for themselves. Propaganda, all the people in the surrounding private schools and Guozijian heard that there is a newly opened shop that sells first-class rice paper, and the price is cheaper than Wenmoge. No, there are a lot of people after school Came here to buy.

Some people buy it for hundreds of dollars. After all, it is really a good deal to buy paper of this quality at a discounted price. The first day of the shopkeeper is to make a name for himself, so he quickly called someone to tell Chen Xusheng, Chen Xusheng Immediately call them a purchase limit.

Each person is only allowed to buy twenty knives, and will not sell more.

Who knows, the more this is the case, the more people feel that it is a good deal to buy this rice paper, and they will tell their friends and friends to come and buy it.

Jia Amnesty and Chen Ronggui looked at each other, it seems that they don't have to worry about this business.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

After those scholars get used to these good papers, they have to use those rough papers again, and the gap can be imagined.

Today is enough for the reputation of their rice paper to spread throughout the capital.

However, this is just the beginning.

You know, the pamphlet that Jia She gave to Chen Xusheng has not yet appeared.

If those scholars know that buying rice paper can get such a booklet as a gift, the threshold of their store will be stepped down.

Things were exactly as Jia She had expected.

Within a few days, all scholars in the capital knew that there was a Wenyuan Pavilion near Guozijian, selling rice paper exclusively.

Those scholars are the most arty. When they saw other people buying it, they all followed suit to buy it. As a result, everyone was full of praise when they used it. Compared with other papers, it is completely different.

Now the most popular thing among scholars in the capital is to write poems and paintings on Wenyuan Pavilion rice paper, and some people even wrote many poems specially for this rice paper.

Some people are envious, and count the money Wenyuan Pavilion has made these days. Good guy, you can earn nearly a thousand taels of silver this day. After opening the sale, the money earned that day is enough for the whole family to live a lifetime of prosperity.

Chen Xusheng saw his old friend walking together these days, and every time he opened his mouth, he congratulated him. Some people wanted to cooperate and share a piece of the pie, but he refused them all.

Chen Xusheng is not stupid, holding this rice paper prescription in his hand, as long as the descendants of the Chen family don't encounter any natural or man-made disasters, they can become rich for generations.Looking at the daily income, Chen Xusheng was so happy that he would sleep with his mouth open and smile at night. Seeing Jia Amnesty was closer than seeing his own son.

The popularity of this wave of rice paper gradually went down.

Wenyuan Pavilion's income has also gradually stabilized. After deducting the capital, it can earn more than 1500 taels of silver a day.

Jia Amnesty thought about it, and it was time to push out the pamphlet.

Wenyuan Pavilion picked an auspicious day, and launched a sign outside, saying that a mysterious gift would be presented immediately.

Where did those scholars pass through the doorways that Jia She went through in modern times, and they were all very curious. Those who needed it bought a few knives of paper just to see what the mysterious gift was.
