C84 Trouble

Hearing his words, Bai He nodded his head and said: "That's right, it's not like you don't know him." Why did he suggest this?

Hearing her tone, Bai Shi knew that she was unhappy and said: "I'm just a little strange, why would he pretend that he doesn't know you."

He was just a slightly closer person, it was fine if he didn't want to know, but Bai He was his niece, how could he pretend not to know her?

When he thought of this situation, he became even more confused.

Bai He looked at him and said: "Bai Shi, you did that on purpose, didn't you? It was not easy for me to shake off granny and the others, why do you want me to follow you back now? "

"No." Bai Shi immediately denied.

Bai He felt that her attitude was a little too extreme. She heaved a sigh of relief and said: "Bai Shi, I know what you mean, but you definitely do not know how much those scholars despise business people." It was all just a misunderstanding of these people by the profiteers and profiteers.

On the other hand, it also proved how low the status of a businessman was.

Even the powerful Second Young Master Song, if not for his brother being an official in the imperial court, the Song Manor would not be as prosperous as it is now.

Bai He was aware of these principles, although she did not mind what line to take, but she could still feel the other party's obvious rejection.

On one hand, if her Third Uncle didn't acknowledge her, it was because he cared about their relationship. On the other hand, he was naturally afraid of losing face. It was not a good thing to have a niece in business like this.

When Bai He thought about this, she felt that her mental state was growing stronger and stronger. He didn't even bother to think how she had gotten the silver.

He must not have told his classmates, his family affairs.

When Bai He thought about this, she felt that it was kind of funny, but at the same time, she felt that it was boring. As long as he didn't offend her for the time being, she would properly earn her money.

Thinking of this, she became more and more calm, refusing to think about those random things.

He also did not intend to make her unhappy. He immediately nodded and said, "That's good. We don't care about them."

Bai He nodded and said: "Bai Shi, do you have any thoughts of taking the examination?"

Bai Shi looked at her blankly for a moment before asking, "Why?"

Bai He felt that with Bai Shi's abilities, it should be easy for him to pass these exams.

An idea suddenly appeared in her mind as she said, "I was just joking around, but there's still the exam. Why don't we wait and see?"

With that in mind, Bai He increased the speed at which he sold the ingredients.

The two of them quickly sold out all the dishes.

Bai He slightly counted the silver coins. She had actually earned two taels today, which was pretty good. Bai He was very satisfied with this.

Seeing her smiling face, Bai Shi was also happy. She asked: "Are we going to buy some other ingredients?"

Bai He shook her head hard and said: "Bai Shi, do you know how to write?"

Bai Shi looked at her and shook his head.

However, Bai He did not believe him and said: "It doesn't matter if you can write. How about this, we will buy some pen and paper.

Bai Shi looked at her in shock. He didn't know what she wanted to do, but he would normally think differently when he was doing things, so he nodded his head since he trusted Bai He.

Seeing that Bai Shi agreed, Bai He took the donkey cart and went to find the owner of the carriage before. He placed the donkey cart and the foal down properly and then went to the place where the Four Treasures were sold.

"Two brushes, an inkstand, and a few sheets of paper." Bai He said directly after entering.

The shopkeeper glanced at her a few times and asked, "You must be here to help those examinees buy it. The exam has already begun, and it's too late to buy it now. It's better not to buy it."

However, Bai He shook her head and said, "Of course I know it's not early anymore, but we didn't buy it for those examinees. We bought it for ourselves."

When the shopkeeper heard that she was buying it for him, he was even more surprised. From the looks of it, Bai He didn't seem like one of those young misses.

Are they really literate?

Seeing that the shopkeeper actually looked down on her so much, Bai He said: "If you don't believe me, then there's nothing that can be done, I'll tell you anyway. We just want to know the topics of those exams. Although we don't want to be officials, we naturally won't give up on these things that we want to do. "

Bai He nodded her head vigorously, not afraid of showing off, instead, she felt that it would be better to be a bit more arrogant, since she had no way of getting that title anyway.

"If that's the case, then I'll ask someone to help you ask for the questions. If your articles are correct, then I won't take your money. Of course, if I don't, then I'll take quite a bit." The manager pondered for a moment before speaking.

When Bai He heard that there was actually such a good thing, he became even happier, and said: "Innkeeper, you said it yourself. If we really did produce a good article, you cannot deny it."

Her skill level was limited, but she knew of Bai Shi, so according to her, Bai Shi should be not bad.

Hearing the two of them talking, Bai Shi was puzzled, but he still waited quietly by the side. He couldn't help anyway.

Bai He and the shopkeeper had made an agreement.

On the other hand, the shopkeeper was quite loyal. He immediately got someone to move two tables and set them in front of the examination hall.

Many people who were originally waiting outside were astonished when they saw this scene. They all turned to look at the shopkeeper, wondering what he was doing.

However, Bai He calmly sat at the side, looked at the shopkeeper, and lightly coughed twice.

The shopkeeper called for someone to bring the question over and said, "The question is here. Take a good look. If it doesn't work, withdraw as soon as possible."

Bai He looked at the question, an idea forming in her heart, but she still did not write.

When the people at the side saw them acting like this, they knew what had happened. They all said, "Miss, if you can't do it, then don't try to be brave. Sitting here isn't a problem."

Bai He coughed lightly as she looked at the question, boat. It's too simple, okay?

However, the most important thing right now was …

"Which one of you can grind ink?" Bai He looked at the people around him and asked in anticipation.

Upon hearing her words, many people immediately understood. It seemed like she was too unreliable and did not even know how to grind ink. It was likely that she did not know about those things.

"Liar." Someone shouted.

Some of the more tactful people also began to whisper among themselves.

Bai Shi also shook his head.

Seeing that it was so tragic, Bai He was immediately depressed in his heart. This meant that their good work was delayed because of the matter regarding the grindstone.

"Let me do it." One of them stood out and patiently helped to grind the ink for them.

Bai He gratefully looked at him, dipped his finger in the ink and started to write.

The water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat … Bai He began to write the relationship between the monarch and the commoner according to the scripture. She was just adding soy sauce anyway, after writing the discussion paper in such a carefree manner, she didn't care about anything else.

When he looked over again, Bai Shi had his head lowered, and was writing something down very seriously.

Bai He put down the brush, went closer to take a look, and was immediately surprised. His view was actually somewhat similar to her own, but there was clearly a qualitative difference in her thoughts.

When she looked at the words that were written in a single body, she turned around and saw her own beautiful but difficult to achieve writing. Immediately, she felt inferior.

Thinking about how Bai Shi said that he did not know how to do it, she was immediately unhappy. Forcing!

Bai He sighed at the side, but she didn't really want to disturb Bai Shi, so she could only watch obediently from the side.

Previously, Bai He and Bai Shi seemed to not know how to grind ink, and they were still thinking, could it be that the shopkeeper was deceived, and wasted such good paper and ink for nothing?

However, the moment Bai He and the others took out their brushes, they immediately knew, that these two people definitely did not come here to grind ink on their own.

However, they were even more puzzled by these thoughts. From the looks of it, they didn't seem to be the descendants of some large family. Could it be someone from a poor family?

With this conjecture, everything became even clearer.

"Time's up!" A bell suddenly rang out from inside. It was likely that the examinees had already finished writing down the questions.

Bai He looked at Bai Shi and saw how he wrote down five or six pieces of paper in such an unrestrained manner. Bai He's heart was bleeding, I heard that this paper is not cheap.

But seeing how Bai Shi was so engrossed with writing, she did not want to go up and grab the brush.

Besides, there was the shopkeeper watching by the side. From his eyes, one could see some praise. Thinking of this possibility, her heart was reassured. It seemed like the storekeeper was going to lose his fortune today.

Soon, the examinees came out. When they saw that someone was writing, they walked over.

However, Bai Shi was not affected at all.

"What is this?" When the people inside walked out, they saw the scene outside.

Bai He looked over, seeing how everyone was extremely respectful, she guessed that it was some powerful being, she did not know him too well, so she gave up, since they were just here to show off her ability.

After writing for a while, Bai Shi finally stopped.

He had actually written seven or eight pages.

Bai He looked at the white paper, and felt pain for the shopkeeper.

"Master Zeng." Seeing that Bai Shi had finished writing, the shopkeeper found the person by his side and cupped his fists as he spoke.

Master Zeng looked at him and said, "So you are the shopkeeper of the Mo Pavilion. On the day of the examination, I wonder what business do you have here? Could it be that they are here to take a seat? "
