[Red Mansion] Plane Merchant Jia Rong

Lighting is something that almost everyone needs.

In the eyes of the scholars, the test paper is a beauty that can overwhelm the country and the city, and they scramble to get it.For ordinary people, it has no charm at all.

Therefore, in comparison between the two, the desk lamp has received more attention.

It has been warmly loved by people from all walks of life, and soon became another national star product that swept the capital.All the families of the middle and upper classes have replaced the candles in their homes with table lamps.

During the day, you can see a few or rows of desk lamps lying on the ground in many people's homes "eating sunlight".

However, although a table lamp of one tael of silver is not particularly expensive, many ordinary people still don't spend money to buy it.Because they don't even want to buy candles, they only use cheaper, smellier, and less bright oil lamps, not to mention table lamps?

The explosion of the second bookstore, like the previous bookstore, attracted the attention of booksellers from all over the world.

Seeing the madness of the students and the common people, they clearly realized the value of test sets and lamps.

Thinking back to the scene when "Legend of the Wang Family" and more than a dozen comics made them a lot of money, the booksellers seemed to smell the nectar of bees, and they flocked to bookstores to purchase test sets, desk lamps, etc. , A car and a boat are transported outside the capital.

Of course, cosmetics, which opened on the same day but became more popular than test question sets and table lamps, also attracted the attention of a group of foreign businessmen.

If it weren't for the difficulty of keeping and taking away the ice food shop, it is expected that it will be favored by a large number of businessmen from outside Beijing, and it will be snatched away just like its "brothers and sisters".

At the same time, Zhang Jijiu, who succeeded Li Shouzhong in the Guozijian, saw a group of students struggling to write and write questions during an inspection tour. There are two imperial examination mock exams per month.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jijiu thought about it again. He was so busy with the students' studies, teaching doctors and others that he didn't have the time, let alone the energy, to think about the questions.

After two days of deliberation, Zhang Jijiu decided to order two mock exam papers for the Imperial College directly from Jia Rong's bookstore every month.

Think it over and do it.

Zhang Jijiu quickly found the blue pheasant, and made a request for a customized simulation volume.Lan Yu replied to Zhang Jijiu that he needed to ask the people above, and he would give him the answer the next day.

On the same day, Lan Yu went to the Imperial College to ask Jia Rong for his opinion.

Jia Rong, who is the master of her personality, has long practiced her kung fu to be invulnerable to fire and water in the face of fancy exams.Regarding Zhang Jijiu's plan to take mock exams twice a month, he himself has no fear.

In order to share the experience of the college entrance examination with the students, Jia Rong smiled slightly and said, "Why don't you make money when you have money? Tomorrow Zhang Jijiu will look for you again, and you will tell him that the business bookstore of the Imperial College will take over." gone."

Pausing for two breaths, Jia Rong opened her mouth and said again: "Also, you will post a call for questions notice at the door of the bookstore tomorrow. The simulated test questions from all learned people will be collected. Anyone who has passed the review of the bookstore, each question that is accepted , the person who writes the test will get a test fee of one tael of silver."

Although he has a lot of food for the test questions in his hand, there will always be a time when it runs out.Only by finding a source of test questions can this business continue for a long time.

"Yes, my subordinate will set up a special problem collection office as soon as I go back." Lan Yu bowed his hand and resigned.

The next day, after Jia Rong's call for questions was posted, it immediately caused waves in the hearts of many people.

One question is one tael, that is to say, ten questions are ten taels, and one hundred questions is one or two hundred.It is not a big income for people from poor families.

The gentlemen from various academies, the scholars in Beijing, and Juren quickly took action, thinking about writing questions and submitting manuscripts.

Even some petty officials from poor families quietly ordered their servants to take the mock exam questions they had figured out to the bookstore for review.

Even in the Imperial College, a small number of people contributed articles to earn extra money to support their families.

It's just that the review of the blue pheasant is very strict, and among the thousands of manuscripts with topics every day, very few can pass.

Not long after, news of the collection of test questions and the solicitation of questions for those with knowledge floated into the Song family.

Mr. Song sent his servants to buy a set of test questions and came back. After carefully reading them one by one, he immediately discovered the great effect of the test set.

The old man resigned from the officialdom, and every day at home, apart from playing with his great-granddaughter, he had nothing to do, and he often felt very bored.

After browsing the collection of test questions, and recalling the call for questions from Jia Rong Bookstore, Mr. Song immediately decided to submit a question.

Moreover, Mr. Song not only did this by himself, but also invited a group of his friends who are retired officialdom bosses to write questions and submit articles together.

The emergence of test question sets can improve students' grades.The question was meaningful and interesting. Knowing Mr. Song's plan, all his old friends supported him.

When the topic manuscripts were submitted, a group of old people happily bet to see who was hired with the most topics.

A few days later, the first mock test paper that Guozijian ordered from Jia Rong Bookstore was printed.A group of doctoral students who taught the course read it and thought it was very good. The next day, they immediately notified the students of the news that there will be two exams in January.

In the beginning, it was okay to take the exam once or twice, but when the number of exams increased, the entire Imperial College students fell into the abyss of the exam. For a while, people were floating when they walked.

In this regard, Jia Rong, a seasoned veteran, smiled sweetly.

Out of body after two exams in January?You must know that the third-year students of Huahua Country take the test every day, and sometimes they even take the test two or three times a day in a frenzied way. That is called an unforgettable "dream"!

The most impacted by the lethality of the half-month exam was a group of Yin students who entered the Imperial Prison to dawdle.

Faced with the new examination measures introduced by the Imperial College, they cried for their father and mother, saying that it is not a life for human beings.One after another, some people pretended to be sick and refused to return to the Guozijian after being beaten to death.

Having said that, the half-moon mode is quite effective.Not long after the implementation, everyone has made some progress, and even the group of shady students who came to the Imperial College under the shadow of their ancestors have learned something to some extent.

Of course, now that the half-month examination of the Imperial College has just been launched, the students have not yet grasped the "wonderful" taste it brings, so all the above is for later.

The first half-month mock exam of Guozijian is over, and the next day is the holiday.Many students who passed the exam with light weight returned home feeling relieved.

At the same time, Li Ruoguang and Yang Pei deliberately sent someone to release the news about Shen Ruoxu's change of fate and his ability to marry a wife. Finally, through Shen Yu's mouth, it reached Wei's ears.

"What?!" Wei suddenly stood up from the embroidered pier, and said in disbelief, "Impossible!" If the curse on Shen Ruoxu's body was lifted, how could she not feel it at all!

"There's nothing wrong with that. My friend did indeed see Shen Ruoxu going out with a woman a few days ago. The two behaved intimately. It's definitely not an ordinary relationship. In order to prove what I said was true, my friend even swore to God! "Shen Xuan said with a bad face.

"Aniang, what should I do now? Although I have obtained the position of the eldest son now, it is because Shen Ruoxu was unable to marry a wife normally, and his father knelt for a long time and begged the queen mother to ask the emperor for it. The emperor's imperial edict Assuming that Shen Ruoxu is really normal, will the emperor take back my son's status and transfer it to Shen Ruoxu?" Shen Yu panicked in his heart, his expression was restless, and murderous fluctuations flickered in his dark eyes .

"Don't panic, mother promises that all the future of the Hou Mansion belongs to you alone." Wei Shi patted Shen Yun's hand and comforted: "Anyone who dares to snatch it will die!"

Wei Shi looked towards the direction of Leaping Horse Lane, with a gloomy face and snake-like eyes. "Isn't Shen Ruoxu returning home from Xiu Mu tomorrow? I'll take someone to test him personally."

She still didn't quite believe that Shen Ruoxu had broken the spell.

The next day, at Yuema Lane, Shen's house.

Jia Rong stayed at Shen Ruoxu's house last night, and had breakfast at Shen's house after waking up this morning.

After eating, the two of them sat under the big banyan tree with a bamboo chair to enjoy the cool and chat.

The two were chatting, and when they mentioned the topic of chess, Shen Ruoxu suddenly became addicted to chess, and called Yuan Bo to fetch the chess pieces from the board, and pulled Jia Rong under the big banyan tree to play chess.

Jia Rong's chess skills are unbearable to look at directly, and it is not an exaggeration to use the word "rotten" to describe it.

After half an hour, he lost as many times as the two of them played, and the way they lost was fast, fast, and fierce.

After seeing his technique, Shen Ruoxu broke out in a cold sweat.

Carefully raising his eyes to look at Jia Rong's expression, he saw that his lips were tightly pursed and his brows were wrinkled enough to kill a fly.For the next new move, Shen Ruoxu racked his brains to lose.

When the result of winning or losing came out, Shen Ruoxu heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that Jia Rong's frown had loosened, and his eyes had turned into crescent moons.

Realizing what it means to lose chess is harder than winning chess, Shen Ruoxu no longer wants to play chess with Jia Rong.

"We've been sitting for a long time, let's go outside for a walk." Shen Ruoxu stood up and said.

"Backache, don't go." Jia Rong shook her head, pulled Shen Ruoxu to sit down again, and urged: "Let's continue, I just got interested in playing, and my condition just got better, and I want to win you a few more times .”

Shen Ruoxu looked at Jia Rong's bright eyes and full of interest, and felt a dull pain in his stomach.

Feelings lost a game with all their brains, and made him win interest?

At this moment, Shen Ruoxu tasted the taste of self-inflicted suffering.

"I'm a little tired from playing today. We will come back to play again when we have time. How about taking you out to play now?" Shen Ruoxu rubbed his temples, and said with a tired look.

"The expression is too fake, it's fake at first glance." Jia Xiaorong put her hands on her hips, her cheeks bulged slightly, she stared angrily at Shen Ruoxu and complained: "If you win, grab me and play, if you lose, you can't play. You are clearly I want to play tricks."

Shen Ruoxu thought hard, thought of ways to fool the past, thought and thought, but couldn't find a good excuse, so he simply broke the pot and nodded. "Well, I'm just cheating."

Jia Rong's eyes widened with a swipe, and she couldn't believe it: "You actually admitted it?!"

Shen Ruoxu turned his face away, coughed, and finally compromised. "Then... another set."

Jia Rong's cloudy face immediately brightened, and she took the lead and landed a sunspot on the board.

Shen Ruoxu played the game relentlessly, entangled in his mind, whether it is better to win or lose this game.

He looked up at the bright smile on Jia Rong's face, but he couldn't bear to see him frown after all.Isn't it just a headache?Anyway, it was the last hand, and it was better to lose without a trace, let him be happy.

Two quarters of an hour later, the chess game came to an end, the winner and loser had been decided, and the outcome had been divided.

Shen Ruoxu bowed his hands to admit defeat, and said: "Brother Jia is superb at chess, if you can't beat him, you are willing to bow down."

Jia Rong cupped her hands as he did, and said solemnly: "Brother Shen, I accept it!"

Shen Ruoxu shook his head and laughed, and said softly, "Are you happy now?"

"Well, very, very happy!" Jia Rong nodded heavily, laughing happily.

"Okay, get up and walk around." Shen Ruoxu moved his shoulders, got up first, and immediately extended his palm to Jia Rong.

Jia Rong grabbed his hand and shook it, but didn't stand up.

With a pitiful expression, he stared at Shen Ruoxu with those affectionate and talking eyes. "My back is sore, I don't want to move today, can you play a few more games with me?"

Who are you kidding, he didn't do anything last night, so why did he have a sore back.

Shen Ruoxu wasn't fooled at all, he nodded his nose and said, "We've agreed on the last game, are you kidding me?"

"Then give me a chance to cheat and succeed." Jia Rong begged, shaking Shen Ruoxu's arm.

When the next set is over, there will be another set.The game is over, and there is still time to move... Shen Ruoxu saw through Jia Rong's tricks and stood still.

Jia Rong puffed her peach cheeks, looked around, and found two servants standing not far away, their eyeballs rolled around, holding Shen Ruoxu's hand, leading them behind the huge trunk of the banyan tree, It blocked the sight of the two servants.

Shen Ruoxu looked at Jia Rong suspiciously, and Jia Rong tiptoed to kiss his forehead. "Once again, it's really the last time."

Shen Ruoxu didn't respond.

Jia Rong kissed him on the face.

Shen Ruoxu shook his head.

Jia Rong kissed him on the lips.

Shen Ruoxu persisted unwaveringly.

Jia Rong kissed his Adam's apple.

Shen Ruoxu is still persisting.

Then there are clothes, there is no place to kiss.

Jia Rong thought for a moment, then without hesitation opened Shen Ruoxu's skirt, and kissed her under the collarbone.

Jia Rong's movement of picking clothes was lightning fast, Shen Ruoxu was caught off guard, trembled all over, stared at Jia Rong dumbfounded, opened his mouth, and remained silent for a long time.

From Jia Rong's point of view, this reaction meant that Shen Ruoxu still did not agree to his request.

He fixed his eyes on Shen Ruoxu's clothes, his eyes gradually became firmer, as if he had made some big decision in his heart.

Seeing Jia Rong's intention to continue pushing aside for a kiss, Shen Ruoxu's eyebrows twitched, he hurriedly grabbed Jia Rong's hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't come again, I will depend on you, everything will depend on you."

The goal was achieved, Jia Rong covered her mouth and snickered, took Shen Ruoxu's hand and walked out from behind the banyan tree, and came to the stone table where the chessboard was placed.

He just took out a chess piece from the chess basket, before it landed, Yuan Bo hurried over. "Lang Jun, Mrs. Hou's successor is here."

Shen Ruoxu's biological father was the emperor's uncle, and he was honored to be a marquis together with his two elder brothers. The mansion he lived in was the marquis mansion bestowed by the emperor.And the Mrs. Hou's successor that Uncle Yuan was talking about was the Wei family.

Shen Ruoxu's eyes were covered with frost at this moment.Jia Rong's complexion was also not good. He finally persuaded Shen Ruoxu to play with him for the last game of chess, but he was interrupted before it started, so it's no wonder he was happy.

"Let her in." Shen Ruoxu's voice fell like ice.

Just finished speaking, Wei Shi has already rushed here with a group of maidservants.

Wei's heart is dark, but on the surface he always wears a gentle and benevolent mask to show others, earning a reputation of being virtuous.If it was normal, the Wei family would definitely not break into other people's residences without permission.

However, things must be done urgently, and the current situation is special, thinking that Shen Ruoxu might be with that "woman", in order to prevent him from receiving Yuan Bo's notice, he hid her.Only then did Wei decide to take the risk of destroying the character design once, breaking into Shen's house, and verifying whether Shen Ruoxu really had a woman by his side.

Of course, no matter whether the Wei family collapses or not, in the eyes of Shen Ruoxu and even the whole mansion, she is the spokesperson of hypocrisy and insidiousness.

The woman didn't see any one, but there was a strange man sitting beside Shen Ruoxu.Wei's eyes fell on Jia Rong's face, then moved away for a moment, slowed down, and approached with a gentle smile.

Shen Ruoxu didn't even bother to give Wei a perfunctory smirk, and asked straight to the point: "I don't know what the step-wife is doing in my mansion?"

Hearing the word "Ji", Wei's smile froze, and immediately felt like a lump in his throat, very uncomfortable.

At this time, Jia Rong got up and walked to Uncle Yuan, and said, "Uncle Yuan, let me ask you a question quietly."

"Sir, please tell me." Yuan Bo said with a smile.

Jia Rong glanced at Wei Shi "quietly", pretending not to know who she was, and asked "quietly", "Who is she?"

Uncle Yuan whispered Wei's identity, Jia Rong revealed a look of surprise, "quietly" said: "She is actually Shen Houye's stepmother? She looks a bit old, similar to the old lady who sells a stall at the entrance of the alley. If you don't tell me, I thought it was Lord Shen's mother."

Jia Rong's verbal attacks were more ruthless than Shen Ruoxu's.

"Secretary", "old", "looks about the same age as the old woman", "Shen Houye and his mother", in one sentence, four needles were pierced into Wei Shi's heart.

Wei's smile gradually disappeared, and Shen Ruoxu almost laughed out of his face.

She pulled out a half-hearted smile and asked, "Your father hasn't seen you for a long time, so he asked me to see how you are doing. The young man next to Uncle Yuan looked very unfamiliar. I don't know which family it is from." son?"

"Neighbor, come and play chess with me." Shen Ruoxu replied concisely with a blank face.It's better to make excuses and not know, his father will care about him, unless the water flows to a higher place.

"I'll have a private conversation with Uncle Yuan for a while, and you can talk about it as if I don't exist." Jia Rong smiled like a pure little angel.

Wei Shi felt a sting in his heart, and a dark look of annoyance flashed across his eyes.

The people around Shen Ruoxu are indeed more annoying than the other!

Forget it, it's more important to test Shen Ruoxu. As for this irrelevant person, it's not too late to settle accounts with him in the future.

Wei Shi smiled, and said to Shen Ruoxu, "You are not young, unfortunately, because of your fate, there is no one close to you to take care of you. That's all, but you are almost the age of the weak crown, but you are still the same. The problem is even bigger with the body of a child. You must know that if a man does not break his body during his lifetime, he will become a green-headed ghost after death and cannot be reincarnated."

"No, your father was worried that you would not be able to conceive after you died in old age, so he specially rewarded you with a girl and ordered me to bring it here myself."

Wei Shi turned around and took the hand of a little girl behind him, leading him to Shen Ruoxu. "The left and right are just a worthless girl, and it is right to die for the master. You can use it, and if you can complete the mission of breaking the body for you, even if she dies because of your fate, she will die with honor."

Jia Rong narrowed her eyes dangerously, looked sideways at Wei's face, and entertained her with ten tortures in her mind.

What is it that dares to miss his man!

While speaking, Wei observed Shen Ruoxu's expression, and at the same time looked at his wrist.

The curse that the old monk cast on Shen Ruoxu at the cost of his life was a curse of dual attributes.

The first effect is that women who touch Shen Ruoxu will die.The function of the second layer is that when Wei Shi is sick and injured, Shen Ruoxu's body will have the same symptoms and wounds.

Before going out, Wei Shi cut his left wrist with the sharp end of the hairpin.But at this moment, Shen Ruoxu's left hand was clean, with no wounds or traces of bandaging.

Wei's eyes froze, and he immediately confirmed that the second layer of curse effect on Shen Ruoxu had disappeared.

In other words, Shen Ruoxu's life was no longer tied to her.

Wei's heart was jumping with fear, his hands hidden in his wide sleeves were clenched tightly.

How can it be!The curse, the curse was actually lifted!

who is it!Who solved it!

It wasn't until the nails pierced the palm of the hand and the pain hit his heart that Wei Shi recovered from the shock.She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, looked at the trembling little girl beside her, and was about to test whether the first layer of curse effect still existed.

"No need, take your people out!" Shen Ruoxu heard Wei Shi's intention, and the disgust in his heart exploded with a bang, and he didn't want to make a deal with Wei Shixu for a moment. "Uncle Yuan, see off the guests!"

Wei's heart was in a state of desperation, and she hadn't verified another layer of curse on Shen Ruoxu, how could she leave willingly.

Her eyes turned hard, taking advantage of the moment Shen Ruoxu turned around behind her back and ordered Yuan Bo to drive them away, she pushed the girl beside her towards Shen Ruoxu like lightning.

Bai Ling, who was floating on the top of the tree, waved his hand lightly, immediately changing the direction in which the girl fell, and fell on Wei Shi instead, pinning her to the ground.

"what--!"

Shen Ruoxu heard the exclamation coming from behind, looked back, and saw that Wei Shi was pressed to the ground by the girl who was used as cannon fodder and gnawed a mouthful of soil, his heart was happy.

Uncle Yuan walked up to Wei, who was eating dirt, and didn't help her. He just said expressionlessly, "Mrs. Step-by-step, please! If you don't cooperate, I have no choice but to ask someone to 'please' you out. At that time, you It doesn't look good on the face."

At this time, the maids brought by the Wei family finally realized what happened, and hurried over to help her.

Wei took out his handkerchief and wiped off the dirt on his mouth. His willow eyebrows stood on end, and he shouted at Uncle Yuan: "You dog slave, get out of here! There is no place for you to talk here."

Because the second layer of curse no longer exists, there is a problem with the verification of the first layer of curse. Wei's heart is anxious, unable to calm down, and can no longer pretend to be gentle.So at this moment, its true face was revealed.
