Chen Muqing hurriedly pressed his arm: "Don't, I have silver in my hand, I have silver... You pulled out the hairpin and there was nothing on my head later. Everyone would think you were out of order..."

Xiao Sa thought about it and finally took his hand off the hairpin and said, "It's really not possible. Just treat the clothes on your body, which can be worth one or two taels of silver."

Chen Muqing nodded repeatedly, but said in surprise: "When I made this clothes, my wages were worth four taels of silver. Why did it cost one or two taels of silver to you?"

He was proud: "What money does the pawn shop make? What money is earned in this "urgent" money. I said one or two taels of silver, then you met me. If it were normal, seven or eight cents of silver would be acceptable."

Chen Muqing couldn't help but feel shocked.

I often turn around in pawn shops, what good things are there!

She kept silent and laughed, "How do you know about the pawnshop?"

Xiao Sa saw Chen Muqing's face slightly anger, but his pair of apricot-like eyes were filled with smiles, and there was a slight sarcasm. He felt relieved and smiled and said, "My family started with a pawnshop."

Chen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It turns out that it is the origin of family education!"

Xiao Sa's face was slightly dark when he heard this.

Did you say something wrong again?

But thinking of his sincere comfort just now, Chen Muqing felt that he was not happy about his unhappiness. She smiled and said, "What are you? As she talked, she was unhappy!" The ending was a little long, and she brought a little coquettish intimacy.

Xiao Sa felt a little warm, but she didn't know how to speak well.

Chen Muqing's thoughts changed slightly and guessed: "Is there any misunderstanding with his family?"

Xiao Sa looked at her in surprise.

Chen Muqing blinked at him in a slight manner: "I didn't take the gifts from my elders seriously and made shoes for me; I said your family's origins and turned my face back again - isn't there any conflicts with my family or what?" She turned her head and her slender eyelashes fluttered, and her expression was very playful.

Xiao Sa's face turned slightly red and said, "Why didn't you see you as smart as you just now!"

Chen Muqing covered his mouth and smiled: "Do you want to find someone to talk about it?"

Xiao Sa glared at her: "Are you?" He said very disdainful and glanced at her sideways, but it exuded the pure pride of a young man. Not only did it not make people hate it, but Chen Muqing gave birth to a motherly tenderness.

She was in a good mood. She straightened her chest, raised her face, and pretended to be disdainful in imitation of Xiao Sa's appearance: "What? Do you look down on me?"

Xiao Sa looked at the coldness of her snow-white cheeks and rose a layer of rose purple. Suddenly, he thought of the rare peony named Zi Wei, whom his mother kept in the warm room. He couldn't help but clench his eyebrows and laughed out loud.

The bright eyes shine with bright light, like the scorching sun breaking haze, illuminating this dark space.

Chen Muqing felt dizzy for a moment.

"I do not match my family." The passionate and unrestrained as the scorching sun lasted for a moment, and Xiao Sa's smile gradually faded, and there was a bit of sadness in his voice, "Grandfather devoted himself to let me become an official... But in my heart, I am not a patient person."

Looking at his lonely expression, Chen Muqing felt pity in his heart. He said softly: "What does it have to do with being an official and being patient?"

Xiao Sa's expressionless face and obscure eyes: "If you don't come to the official position, no matter how capable you are, it will be difficult for you to be a chief official. If you don't become a chief official, you will obey others in everything. What's the point of becoming an official? But it's not so easy to pass the exam. Ten years of hard work is not fake at all. I've been active since I was a child, and I rarely calm down and study. I have no patience to study. I can pass the college entrance examination, relying on some cleverness. And this cleverness can fool others in that place of acre of three-point land. When I really go to the provincial examination, the imperial examination or the palace examination, I'm afraid it won't work... I feel very upset, but I don't want to go against the wishes of my elders. I have been in Kyoto for almost half a year, but my mood is getting worse and worse... I went to Alfalfa Mountain that day because I was scolded by the assistant teacher in the Imperial College..."

Chen Muqing was very surprised.

She didn't expect that a person like Xiao Sa would really tell her her embarrassing things. This made her more and more determined to tell him her identity in person and not let him misunderstand it any more. But in this atmosphere, it was not a good time to say this. However, when she was studying, she never felt that there was any difficulty in studying. After thinking for a long time, Chen Muqing had to comfort Xiao Sa in a tone that even she felt guilty when she heard it, and said, "Or what if we find a good teacher in private and secretly make up for it?"

When Xiao Sa heard this, he looked very grateful. He was frank and said, "I have never had this idea. But firstly, Lincheng has a wealthy family all over the world - Lincheng has two of the four famous merchants. It is easy to find a rich person, but difficult to find a scholar. Secondly, I was following the old man at that time, and every move was too conspicuous and I couldn't secretly cross Chen Cang."

Chen Muqing was puzzled: "Why did you secretly cross Chencang? You can tell the old man directly, I think he will be very happy to know that you work so hard and will find a way to ask you for guidance from a famous teacher."

Xiao Sa's expression became unnatural and he whispered: "The situation in my family is very complicated..."

Chen Muqing's mind was spinning quickly, thinking about Xiao Sa's temper and style of conduct, and putting all the bloody stories he had seen and heard on him, and then smiled and said, "It's because your parents were not successful at home, and you have been smart since childhood, and you can do anything and win the championship. Therefore, you often use this as a force to oppress your cousins ​​and cousins ​​in the clan, and become scholars because of your intelligence. Therefore, you are in a difficult situation and dare not take a small job. For fear that those who are suppressed by themselves will not accept your discipline. Later, seeing that the situation is wrong, you can borrow a donkey to go downhill and go to the Imperial College to study!"

Xiao Sa glared at her fiercely: "Your head is full of batter!"

Chen Muqing smiled softly, feeling that he was almost sure he could guess!

She pulled his sleeve: "What's so angry about this? As the saying goes, the process is not important, what is important is the result!" At this point, she suddenly thought of Min Luan.

Didn’t Min Luan also be very interested in him that day?

"Xiao Sa!" Chen Muqing was as excited as if he was treating his own future. "The gentleman I taught before, named Min Luan, was a disciple of the Min clan of Xiangshan, and had a good knowledge. You can ask him."

Xiao Sa looked at the green and slender fingers pinching the corners of his clothes and swaying gently, like during the Chinese New Year when he pestered the old man to eat the grandchildren and great-grandchildren - relying on his young age and ignorant, he could do whatever he wanted without following the rules. He was the most annoyed by this in the past, but for some reason, when he saw such a Shen Muqing, his little bit of unhappiness just now suddenly disappeared, and instead a trace of sweetness flowed through his heart, feeling that he seemed to be like an old man sitting in a drunkard chair in front of Shen Muqing, with the power to touch people's joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

He couldn't help but straighten his body and smiled, "Is it Mr. Min Min who invited Mr. Shen to the house to attend the restaurant?"

Chen Muqing didn't expect that he had also heard of Mr. Min's name and said, "It's Mr. Min Bieshan!"

Xiao Sa shook his head: "He will participate in next year's spring exam soon. It is rumored outside that he will enter the top three - I don't have the chance to receive education under his disciples."

This Shen Muqing didn't expect it.

"I don't know anyone except him!" Chen Muqing couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that she was in a low mood and was as concerned as her own affairs, Xiao Sa felt a little moved. He smiled and comforted her: "I didn't like reading at all, so there is nothing I can do about it. I can only take one step at a time."

Chen Muqing changed his destiny by studying, but he didn't believe that some people didn't know how to read, and just felt that they hadn't found the right way. She muttered, "Does he like to read any book?"

Seeing that she was still unwilling to give up, Xiao Sa explained: "I only like to read military books!"

Chen Muqing's heart moved and his eyes shiningly looked at Xiao Sa: "How many military books have you read!"

Xiao Sa was slightly stunned.

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "Tell me quickly! Maybe I have a way!"

Seeing her confident look, Xiao Sa couldn't help but feel curious and said, "I have read ordinary books! Sun Wu's "The Art of War", Huang Shigong's "Three Notes", Zhuge Kongming's "Sixteen Cheap Strategy", Ma Long's "The Eight Formations", "Holding the Strange Classics", Tao Hong's "The Record of Swords of Ancient and Modern Times", Li Xian's "The God Mechanism Enemy of Taibai Yin Jing", "Yin Fu Jing", Li Jing's "Tang Li Wenwei"... There are many more!"

Chen Muqing was stunned. There were many books that she had never heard of as a modern person.

When Xiao Sa saw this, he felt a little proud and said, "I spent a lot of energy to collect these books, such as Huang Shigong's "Three Labels", which are almost the only ones, as well as Ma Long's "The Strong Sutra" and Li Qian's "The God Mechanism Enemy Taibai Yin Sutra" that are spread in the world!"

Chen Muqing nodded repeatedly and said, "How good are you in fist and foot skills? Can you lift it up..." As she said that, she looked around and saw the stone table and bench covered by snow under the grape trellis beside the stone mountain in Taihu Lake. "Can you lift that stone table?"

Xiao Sa looked at her coldly.

Chen Muqing immediately surrendered and said hurriedly: "It's like this... I heard a message, and I don't know if it is accurate or not, but I can give you a reference..."

Xiao Sa frowned slightly and said, "Where did you hear it?"

Chen Muqing smiled and said, "I heard it from the master!"

When Xiao Sa heard this, he was very interested and said, "Tell me, let me see."

"Your family members hope you will be awarded the imperial examination!" Chen Muqing said guiltily, "But there should be no regulations on what you awarded!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Sa nodded, "I hope I can pass the imperial examination, first of all, to change my identity, and secondly, to make it easier to do business."

Chen Muqing said carefully: "You can make a fuss about this!"

Xiao Sa was slightly stunned: "You mean bribery!"

"You know how to use money to smash people!" Chen Muqing laughed and cried, and said angrily, "I mean if the emperor takes the Wu Jinshi exam, you can consider it!"
Chapter completed!
