After the Spring Festival examination, Lu Lin's shop was hot again. Before, a member bought a big rooster from their shop at a price of fifty Liang. It happened that the grandson of the member succeeded in being a scholar.
The grandson of that councillor is only 15 years old. Among the people who won the election this time, he is the youngest, so he is called the top junior.
His grandson became a scholar when he was young, and everyone praised him for his talent and learning. In the future, he will become a prime minister, and it is not impossible to be a marquis.
As soon as the clerk was happy, he held a banquet for the guests at home and held a water banquet for several days.
At the banquet, the member took out the treasure of Zhendian to show off. He also said that it was thanks to the treasure of Zhendian that his grandson had such good fortune. He said that although fifty Liang was a little expensive, it was worth the money.
It's rumored that the treasure of the shop is really effective. This kind of rumor even spread to the surrounding villages and towns. Many people came to buy Dolls, and all kinds of dolls became popular again.
Mrs. Shen is very happy to be a doll in the room.
Recently, the business in the store is good, so we have to rush to work day and night. Although we have worked hard, we have a bottom in our heart.
Magpie and Lin Chun are ready to start. Now grandma Shen is only in charge of fighting.
The rooster doll was snatched away. Without the little yellow chicken doll, people had to turn their attention to other dolls.
Lu Lin doesn't think that the dolls in his shop can help people to get a job. He thinks it's just a coincidence. However, he's very happy to see that the customers are so satisfied.
The name of Zhendian treasure is so big that it even spread to the countryside.
The doll and the Spring Festival test are hot topics, and the villagers love to talk about them.
"This time, a 15-year-old scholar was selected. It's amazing!"
"It's member Xu's grandson in the town. It's said that when his grandson was more than three years old, the old master found a master to enlighten him. It's different from the students in the countryside."
"Yes, the price of ink, ink, paper and inkstone is not cheap. The boy in the countryside has to use a piece of paper tightly. The rich young man in the town doesn't have so many worries."
When the villagers thought of Lu Chengyu, they sighed again. They thought that Lu Chengyu should win this time, but they didn't expect that she was defeated again.
"I heard that Xu Yuanwai's grandson, who was admitted as grandson this time, was all thanks to the treasure of the town store."
"It seems that this doll shop is not very big."
"Why not? It's worth fifty Liang."
"That is to say, these people have no money to spend. This is such a big doll. Where can they use so much money?"
"It's said that when the treasure of the town shop came out, it was robbed by several non members."
Wan Li stayed in the shop and saw a woman staring at the shop from a distance, looking rather strange.
After a long time, the woman finally came to Wan Li and said that he was Chen Xiaomi's aunt and wanted to see her.
Wan Li was surprised and sent Qin Lang in to report.
Qin Lang gets a letter from Chen Xiaomi and takes Chen Chuner to meet Chen Xiaomi in the backyard.
Chen Chuner ranked fourth, Chen Xiaomi's sister-in-law.
Mr. Chen has some preference for boys and doesn't care much about his daughter.
When Chen Xiaomi was very young, Chen Chuner married out. Chen Xiaomi didn't have a deep impression on her.
Chen chun'er was married to a butcher at that time, and the bride price was not low.
The butchers make money very quickly, but in the end, it's the work of seeing blood. The white knife comes in and the red knife comes out all day. People here think that the butchers are very evil and not a good match.
At that time, after I married, I got more than 20 Liang betrothal gifts. After I married, I didn't get much contact with my family.
After Chen Xiaomi's father had an accident, my sister-in-law came back to the Chen family and cried. Before my sister-in-law got married, she seemed to have a good relationship with his father.
My sister-in-law saw that the three brothers were pitiful. She secretly gave him 100 Wen to take good care of himself.
For Chen Xiaomi at that time, 100 Wen was also a lot of money. Because of this, Chen Xiaomi had a good impression of her little sister-in-law.
"Auntie, what are you doing here?" Chen Xiaomi is a little confused.
Chen chun'er hesitated for a moment and said, "your father, milk, found my home two days ago."
Chen Xiaomi some doubts way: "why?"
Chen Chuner married a butcher. Chen Xiaomi was very young at that time, and he didn't have a deep impression on that man. However, from the village people's mouth, I learned that the man my sister-in-law married had a face full of flesh and a beard. At first sight, he was a bad match. It is said that many butchers are grumpy and like to beat people.
Chen Chuner didn't take much dowry to go out at that time. Because of the distance, the two families didn't move much.
Some time ago, Chen Jing met a man who said that he could get fifty-two copies of the internal examination questions for the examination of Xiucai.Chen Xiaomi is full of surprised way: "have this kind of thing?" If the examination questions come from the government, it will be a big trouble if someone really leaks the questions. "It's not true." If there is such an internal question, it should not be Chen Jing's turn.
Chen Chuner nodded, "it's really fake."
Chen Xiaomi whispered: sure enough, this paper really spread out, it's a big event.
"Did Chen Jing believe it?"
Chen chunniang nodded her head and said, "I don't know if she wants to borrow money from her family."
In fact, Mrs. Chen was very excited to hear that Chen Jing had a way to get the test paper with fifty Liang. However, time was too tight at that time, and the Chen family didn't have much money left. If she wanted to get fifty Liang as soon as possible, she had to sell the land. Unless she sold the land at a high or low price, it would be impossible to sell the land for a while and it would be delayed.
The old lady was afraid of taking risks, so she refused.
Chen Jing was fascinated by the prospect described by the swindler. He felt that success or failure depended on it, so he borrowed money from his family.
Chen Xiaomi frowned and said, "he's crazy!" Is this printing money so easy to borrow? That silver money roll up, two months can roll out double the principal.
Chen chun'er shook his head and said, "ah Jing, he really believes it."
After Chen Jinghua bought fifty liang of the test paper, he felt that everything was all right. He just waited for the exam to start, and he won the first prize of scholar. From then on, he made great progress. He asked the old lady for money to make up the money.
As a result, after the examination papers were sent out, Chen Jingcai found that he had been cheated. The content of the examination was totally different from the questions Chen Jing had bought before.
Chen Jing realizes that he has been cheated. When he goes back to find the person who sells the examination questions, he has already run away. Buying the examination questions is a matter of opportunism. If he goes to the government, he may go first. The authorities are also very strict in investigating the malpractice for personal gain. If he is found to be cheating, he will go to jail or be beheaded.
Chen Jing had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.
The results of the Spring Festival examination show that Chen Jing is really no one on the list. His family is very disappointed because he has lost his reputation. Chen Jing has never dared to mention the fifty taels of money.
Chen Jing was terrified at the beginning, probably because he borrowed money and didn't bother him all the time. Later, Chen Jing tried to muddle along and simply defaulted.
Most of the people who can pay high prices for printing money outside are not ordinary people. If they don't return the money, the other party will not give up.
A few days ago, a few people who were not easy to provoke at first sight came to the Chen family to ask for money.
Several people beat Chen Jing and threatened his family that if they didn't hand over a hundred taels of silver within the time limit, they would cut off Chen Jing's hand.
Mrs. Chen has always been domineering, but when she faced a few men with big arms and round waists, she couldn't get up. She only knew how to howl.
Chen Xiaomi said calmly: "is that right? It doesn't matter if I borrow it. Yeh and Nai should pay him back. " There are still more than 20 mu of land in my family. If all the land is sold, it will be worth more than 200 Liang. If only half of it is sold, it will be more than enough to repay Chen Jing's debt.
Chen chun'er sighed and said, "what's the matter?"
Chen Chuner and the Chen family haven't contacted each other for a long time. Unless something serious happens to the Chen family, they usually won't inform Chen Chuner. Now that something serious has happened to the Chen family, the Chen family boss calls Chen Chuner back. Of course, the Chen family boss doesn't say that Chen Jing is in trouble, but that the master is ill.
Mr. Chen is already old. Chen Chuner is not suspicious when he hears that he is ill.
Chen Chuner came back to the Chen family to find out that the old man was not ill at all. Instead, it was Chen Jing who was on the verge of death because he was beaten.
Chen Chuner was still wondering how the family could think of her married daughter when she was well. Later, she learned that her eldest brother was so anxious that he couldn't help it. So he went to the doctor in a hurry and asked her to pay a share of the money.
When Lu Lin came back, Chen Chuner had already left.
"Xiaomi, I heard that my aunt is here." Lu Lin came in and asked.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "yes!"
"What is she doing here, without leaving her for dinner?"
"Yes, but she said she would go back early. Otherwise, it would be dark. It's not safe to walk at night."
after listening to my Aunt Chen's car fare, I asked her about it Chen Xiaomi said.
"Five Wen?" Lu Lin was a little surprised.
Chen Xiaomi nodded, "all her money to the Chen family to go, so Chen Chuner heard that the old man was ill, did not think much, directly back to the Chen family, as a result, to the Chen family, the family asked her for money, Chen Chuner just know that she was cheated."
Chen Xiaomi told Lu Lin what she heard from Chen Chuner.
Lu Lin rolled his eyes and said nothing.
"Chen Jing buys test questions. There are a lot of opportunists here. Most of the people who buy test questions are not good things. People who buy such things will not make a public statement. When they find that the test questions are wrong, they can only admit their bad luck."When Lu Lin was in college, he also heard about buying test questions. Sometimes he can buy real ones. Of course, if he is not lucky, he has more chances to buy fake ones.
Chen Xiaomi curled his lips and said, "this fool actually believes in this kind of pie falling from the sky."
Lu Lin thought to himself: why don't you believe it? It's the individual who always has a fluke mentality. In previous lives, many people believed that 68000 can become millions or tens of millions.
"If Chen Jing really owes a hundred Liang, then your master and milk should come to our side to make trouble." Lulin road.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "it's probably so."
One hundred taels of silver is not a small sum for the villagers. With the family background of the Chen family, it's not difficult to get the money together. However, if we really want to get it out, we must break our bones and muscles.
