Chapter 199 Exchange Conditions

Chapter 199 Exchange conditions

Then there was a "bodyguard auction". The young scholars followed, real and fake, and finally raised the bodyguard expenses to 60 cents.

However, facing such a huge bodyguard fee, Shi Chuan still shook his head and refused: "I said that if you don't go out, Mr. Huang also knows that my house is full of abducted girls. They are shocked and can no longer bear the fright. I can't leave at this time."

Huang Yu chuckled and asked, "How are the female gentlemen and mother-in-law I gave me?"

Well, it’s not enough to lure it for profit, so I moved it again. Shi Chuan reluctantly replied: “It’s pretty good, thank you.”

Huang Yu kept a warm smile on his face: "Not long ago, Shi Shiyilang and Chu Suzhen also came to congratulate him. I heard that you have already recognized your ancestors and returned to your hometown."

Shi Chuan nodded, Huang Yu led his hand and introduced to the people around him: "You don't know yet. Although Brother Changqing forgot the past, he was also from the prime minister's family and a disciple of the Changfang of the Shi family of Jiaxing."

A scholar next to him exclaimed casually: "It turns out that he is from the prime minister's family. Even if he is buried in the soil, he can shine. It's a pity."

Huang Yu laughed at the disciple who said it was a pity: "Brother Qiao, you think Brother Shi's confession is the official he bought, but you don't know that the confession is also a part of the Mokan."

According to the Song Dynasty, the official titles purchased and the official titles that were sealed cannot be promoted. If you have such official titles on your head, you cannot participate in the imperial examinations, and then you will continue to be promoted on the right path. When Brother Qiao heard about it, he came from a prime minister, but unfortunately, he was named Chengxin Lang, and there was no possibility of promotion in this life. However, Shi Chuan, this Chengxin Lang was awarded because of his merits, half a reward and half a purchase.

Now Shi Chuan is still holding a Haizhou regiment training and platoon commander, the chief instructor, who is the dispatch (actual position) to participate in the performance evaluation of officials, which is what the Song people call "Makan". If Shi Chuan trained the regiment training within the scope of his responsibilities near Cuizhuang and organized properly, there would still be a possibility of promotion in three years - the only regret is that the official position of the regiment training is a military position, while the Song Dynasty used civil servants to control military personnel, and the position of military officers was relatively low.

Huang Yu smiled leisurely and continued, "I heard that Shi was buying a farm near Baihu Mountain. He planned to be Brother Zhou Jishi. If that is the case, the servants I sent seemed to be able to go home."

Are you going up the room to pull the ladder? Shi Chuan also had an equally gentle smile on his face and replied slowly: "Brother Bo Tao should know that I have bought the Guzhai next to Xishi tofu and am preparing to decorate the shop of Guzhai."

Huang Yu laughed: "It turns out that he came from the prime minister's family. Everyone said that Brother Shi was stupid, but Brother Shi was so smart that he would not give in... I said, I, Huang Yu, now I am also Jie Yuan, so you can't give in to me?"

Shi Chuan smiled on his face and fought back without giving in: "I used to be just a 'general', but now I am a 'confidant'. Duke Jie Yuan didn't know how to give in to me? Haha, I am a famous fool in Haizhou City. As Duke Jie Yuan, do you feel embarrassed to take advantage of a fool?"

Huang Yu smiled and reached out to pat the shoulders he wore. When he saw the other juren's expressions of confusion, he explained with a smile: "You don't know yet. The fragrant scent cream and new button-up clothes sold by my Huang store in Haizhou City were all produced by the girls under Brother Changqing. In order to help the girl take care of her life, my family sent several servants to help, and also recruited dozens of embroidery ladies and opened an embroidery workshop together.

Look, he doesn’t want to escort me to Beijing in this friendship, so he is really unfaithful.”

In order to flatter Mr. Jie Yuan, the eunuchs present also mocked Shiban in a slander. However, perhaps the joy of the newly listed list diluted the resentment in everyone's hearts. Everyone said it was lukewarm, as if a group of friends were joking with each other.

When Huang Yu saw it, he couldn't help but sigh: "I'll just help you - I know the farmers at the foot of Baihu Mountain. I will let my Huang clan leader come forward to help you purchase land in the Shi family in Jiaxing, so that your Shi family in Jiaxing can relocate as soon as possible. When your family's people arrive and those girls are taken care of, you can consider how to consider my request?

Shi Chuan nodded: "If Shi's family can move here as soon as possible, I can get out of my body temporarily. So what if I accompany you to the capital?"

Huang Yu applauded and laughed: "The constable in Haizhou County once had rumors that you knew the Taoist 'Palm Thunder' spell. In the past, Zeng Laizi was knocked down by your thunder. Later, the bandits attacked Haizhou City. I heard that they hit your house by the way. As a result, the thunder sounded constantly in your house. Afterwards, many bandits died near your house... Is this a matter?

Well, this time I go to Beijing, Brother Changqing must show off his unique skills. Please bring your 'Palm Thunder' with me. I want to see the secret Taoist methods."

Shi Chuan curled his lips, Yaya, it's all my business to go to Beijing to take the exam. He was about to refuse, but suddenly, a palpitations came. Shi Chuan was shocked. He sat there and slowly felt the palpitations just now. For a moment, he forgot to say something to refuse.

The banquet was open, and the servants came over and called for you to go to the table. Huang Yu stood up and gave in, and suddenly remembered: "Changqing, Mr. Hai's winery is now in your hands? Shiyilang has never dealt with me since he was a child. This time I know Yuan. He was angry and humming. The gifts were stingy and only sent five stagnant coins. I, the Huang family in Haizhou, is a person who lacks money? He doesn't even give a jar of wine. Shiyilang is too stingy."

Huang Yu just said clearly: Brother, I have already been the Lord of Yuan, why don’t you give me a jar of wine as a gift?

Shi Chuan narrowed his eyes and replied: "The Buddha said that it takes five hundred years of practice to transition to the same boat. Five hundred years of fate only pass by once. Everyone is a friend who knows each other. I don't know what kind of grudges Yanei and Brother Botao have, but Yanei is also my friend."

Huang Yu was slightly stunned, and then a hint of gloom appeared: "Shiyilang has been competing with me since he was a child... I am proud of the imperial examination this time, who knows whether I beat him."

Shi Chuan nodded: "Since you have decided to give up, don't provoke you again. If you understand this, I will give you two jars of wine and another novel dish to add a touch of the story."

Both of them knew who they were talking about, but they didn't dare to touch that name. Huang Yu was silent for a moment and replied: "I heard that she met a bandit recently... Forget it, I promise you, bring wine."

"The wine has been brought, and there is also a fresh thing. Invented by Xi Shi, you can try it too - I may have you, I will send you to Beijing, but I have to prepare some things, and you can wait for me for a few days."

"It doesn't matter. It will take some time for each county to sort out the files of the candidates who failed to get the Jinshi in previous years. Just prepare and have a lot of time - bring the things quickly."

So, the fermented tofu from Xishi delivered it. When he opened the jar, the white fermented tofu was filled with a scent of wine. Shi Chuan bowed his hand and said humbly: "It's just a side dish for you to eat. Mr. Jie Yuan tasted it."

Huang Yu stretched out his chopsticks, looked at it, and asked, "It seems to be Hengshan fermented tofu?"

Shi Chuan blinked: "It did not come from Hengshan, but was brewed by my landlord Tofu Xishi. If Xie Yuan Gong wrote a poem, then it would be called 'Haizhou Jieyuan Tofu Fermented Tofu'."

Huang Yu picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully. The juren next to him said, "Donald Jie Yuan is very knowledgeable after all, and I have only vaguely heard of Hengshan fermented bean curd, but Duke Jie Yuan can tell it in one mouthful."

After enjoying the flattery, Huang Yu looked intoxicated: "It's really good fermented tofu, it tastes better than the tribute. Come and try it."

Huang Yu said something too loud. Although the Huang family has six or seven uncles and brothers who are officials, the highest official title is only from the fifth grade or the fifth grade. However, just as he was qualified to wear purple clothes, it was not the turn of officials of this level to taste this Hengshan fermented bean curd.

However, no one corrected the limelight of Duke Jie Yuan. Everyone looked intoxicated, as if they had eaten Hengshan fermented bean curd, and praised them in unison: "Sure enough, it's not worse than entering the market."

After the banquet, Mr. Jie Yuan was immersed in writing a poem, and Tofu Xishi left with satisfaction. On the way back, she couldn't help but sigh: "As soon as she climbed the dragon gate, her identity was completely different. In the past, Mr. Huang came to me, and I had talked to him a few words. Now that I see him, I can only look up from afar. If it weren't for Dalang's help, this thing wouldn't be with me."

Shi Chuan also sighed casually: "Yes - the gap in identity has turned two friends who have grown up into strangers in the blink of an eye. Don't think that Huang Yu and I can talk to each other now. After he takes the palace examination, I will see him again. I am afraid that you will only be able to go to the sidelines as you are today."

The sound of firecrackers sounded in front of a shop in the distance. The location of the shop happened to be on the edge of the security area where Shi Chuan was responsible. It was just outside the West Street area where Shi Chuan was responsible. From a distance, Shi Chuan saw Huanniang's carriage parked by the shop. Huanniang was biting her little finger at the top of the carport, as if thinking about whether to cross the invisible boundary, and also came to this newly opened shop to join in the fun.

A child as old as Huan Niang, who can receive red envelopes when he goes to the newly opened shop to congratulate him... Huan Niang on the roof of the carriage looked hesitant, as if he was difficult to make a choice.

Shi Chuan was slightly embarrassed, but immediately excited. He strode towards Huanniang's carriage. Tofu Xishi followed Shi Chuan with a small step, continuing the topic just now. She sighed at the wealth of the Huang family and complained about Huang Yu's coldness...

When he walked to the door of the newly opened shop, Shi Chuan looked into the door and was stunned for a moment. Later, he paused for a moment, arched his hand to the shop owner, turned around, and walked towards Huanniang's carriage.

Huan Niang on the roof of the carriage did not notice Shi Chuan's arrival. She still bit her fingers on the roof, her eyes dripping around, and she looked like she was hard to abandon. Shi Chuan rushed over and picked up Huan Niang, turned around and bowed slightly to the owner of the newly opened store again, and then turned her eyes to the depths of the store.

Deep in the shop, Fang Yun and Fang Ju stood two steps away from the door, with two followers on the left and right, happily watching the shop owner open the door outside the door to welcome guests.

The store is not open yet, and Fang Yun is already in the shop, which means: he is the owner behind the store.

This kind of welcome method is also a routine - Juren and officials are exempt from tax treatment, but they are not allowed to do business. Therefore, Fang Yun, as a Juren, cannot appear as a store owner, and can only stand in the door to let people know the backstage of this store.
