I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 106
"Uh, Mr. Gu?" Chong Guang, who came in with a plate of watermelon, was taken aback for a moment, staring at Gu Qingzhou, who was dripping a drop of tea from his chin, his eyeballs almost fell out of shock.

"Shut up!" Gu Qingzhou glanced over with a cold look, quickly wiped his chin, and shook the tea leaves from his skirt.

Yin Wuyan's face was also solemn, and he said coldly to Chongguang: "Go outside and watch."

"Yes!" Chong Guang, who didn't know what happened, put the plate on the table, and his figure jumped up on the tree in the yard. This position is very good, and no one can come close to the house to eavesdrop.

In the room, Gu Qingzhou squinted his eyes and looked at Zhan Feiyu. He still had an open-minded and elegant posture, but anyone could feel the scrutiny and deep meaning in his eyes.

Although Yin Wuyan is a young man with a weak crown, but his whole body is stern and fierce. He is not afraid of such a shrewd and cunning old fox like Gu Qingzhou, and drives people away in a cold voice: "If Master Gu is like this, please do it yourself!"

Although Yin Wuyan hoped that Zhan Feiyu would be a teacher, whether it was the Nanling Gu family or the most trusted courtier of the Holy Majesty, with Gu Qingzhou escorting him, Zhan Feiyu would definitely have a safe future.

But if Gu Qingzhou is unwilling, Yin Wuyan will not force it. With his ability, he can still protect the little girl, but it's just a little more effort.

"This is the only disciple of the old man, why don't the old man look at it a few more times?" Gu Qingzhou said angrily, suppressing a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, tell the teacher that you heard it again. What is the prescription."

It doesn't matter whether the prescription is Zhan Feiyu's own, or what she heard, or other sources, the important thing is the prescription itself.

Zhan Feiyu looked at Yin Wuyan, saw him nodding, and then planned to speak. This action made Gu Qingzhou jealous again. His little disciple believed Yin Wuyan even more, what a pity for his master!

On the tree, Chong Guang looked into the house through the window, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

My Seventh Master, Master Gu and Fat Girl, the three of them seemed to be gangsters who wanted to gang up and plot something, but their voices were too low for Chong Guang to hear.

"This recipe can play a decisive role in marching and fighting." As soon as Zhan Feiyu said this, Yin Wuyan and Gu Qingzhou's expressions became more dignified.

"If it is successfully made, tie it to an arrow and shoot it out, and if it falls into the crowd, one arrow can kill at least six or seven people; if it is used for siege, no matter how strong the gate and wall are, as long as the weight is enough, it will definitely kill [-] or [-] people." The city gate was bombed open." Zhan Feiyu briefly described the use of gunpowder.

Yin Wuyan's expression changed slightly, and Gu Qingzhou also thought of it, "In the first year of Daqing, a firecracker shop in the capital caught fire. Pedestrians outside the shop were thrown several meters away, three people were seriously injured and more than a dozen people were slightly injured."

If they were smart people, they would have guessed it by themselves!Zhan Feiyu looked at Yin Wuyan and Gu Qingzhou with admiration, "Yes, it is similar to firecrackers, but it is controllable and more powerful."

Zhan Feiyu didn't want to think about muskets and cannons. Even if there were gunpowder recipes, they might not be able to make them, but simple explosives were definitely called magical weapons in the era of cold weapons.

Gu Qingzhou's straight body seemed to have lost its support, leaning softly on the back of the chair, squinting half-closed to look at Zhan Feiyu, and said helplessly: "No wonder you said you can stab the sky."

This can literally change the dynasty!If the sage knows, that's all. If the princes know, Gu Qingzhou can't even imagine what the result will be.

Zhan Feiyu opened her eyes wide, her long black eyelashes fluttering, and her expression was innocent and kind-hearted. Isn't this a rush of words, otherwise how dare she say it.

"Little girl." Gu Qingzhou suddenly became interested after being shocked, and smiled meaningfully, "You trust Wuyan so much, aren't you afraid that he will imprison you and force you to ask all the prescriptions in your mind?"

Before Gu Qingzhou came to Nanxuan Mansion, she had investigated Zhan Feiyu. She was a sensible and well-behaved girl who was earlier and smarter than children of the same age. .

Of course, Gu Qingzhou has seen many precocious and intelligent children, some of whom are better than Zhan Feiyu.

What surprised Gu Qingzhou was her self-discipline. A seven or eight-year-old girl only sleeps for more than two hours a day, and spends the rest of her time reading except for meals.

This kind of heart is a little Mengtong, even those students who are studying hard and planning to take the imperial examination can't do it. Such a smart and self-disciplined little girl must be ambitious and have a city according to common sense, but she is stupid. Tell Yin Wuyan such an important prescription.

Hearing this, Zhan Feiyu looked at Yin Wuyan, who was handsome but indifferent, and blushed when he thought of how scared he was when he almost peed on the ground when they met for the first time.

Zhan Feiyu glared at Gu Qingzhou angrily, raised his chubby chin, and showed off: "This is called death for a confidant. Uncle Gu, you have no friends and confidants, so it's normal if you don't understand."

This broken child!Gu Qingzhou suddenly felt itchy in his hands, well, the poor kid hasn't learned his teacher yet, so he can't beat him yet.

Yin Wuyan also thought of that scene at the beginning, raised his hand and rubbed Zhan Feiyu's head, "Don't be rude to Mr. Gu."

"Oh." Zhan Feiyu nodded obediently, "I was rude just now, please forgive Master Gu."

Looking at the two figures, one tall and one short in front of him, Gu Qingzhou inexplicably felt even more angry. His little disciple, this elbow clearly turned outward!

After Zhan Feiyu left with 5000 taels of banknotes, Gu Qingzhou smiled and said: "You collected those articles years ago, and I thought you made friends with poor students, and you did your best for poor children."

Yin Wuyan and Zhan Feiyu had known each other for more than half a year, but they only had real contact a few times. He was so ruthless that he would not even glance at someone who died in front of him, but he helped the little girl several times. It is no wonder that Gu Qingzhou was surprised.

"Scholars die for their confidantes. As a lone minister, Mr. Gu naturally doesn't understand." Yin Wuyan repeated Zhan Feiyu's words exactly.

These two bad kids!Gu Qingzhou is angry, and the two people who are so wise and close to monsters have done such a hasty thing, but if there is a little bit of wind, they will really lose their heads.

After a while, Gu Qingzhou said solemnly: "As my disciple, I also have enemies in the court, but at most they are harmless calculations against the poor kid, but if outsiders know that the poor kid is your weakness, it is a fatal danger."

As a sharp knife in the hands of the emperor, Yin Wuyan entered the Forbidden Dragon Guard at the age of 13. In the past five years, countless people died in his hands, most of them were big families who were searched by the Forbidden Dragon Guard for evidence of crimes, and finally all their families were beheaded.

It can be said that Yin Wuyan's enemies are all mortal enemies with blood and deep hatred, but he is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is accompanied by the subordinates of the Forbidden Dragon Guard. He has no weaknesses, making the enemy unable to attack even if they hate him no matter how much he hates.

But once Yin Wuyan has a weakness, apart from dragging himself down, Zhan Feiyu's situation is the most dangerous.

A long silence spread in the room, just when Gu Qingzhou thought he could not get an answer, Yin Wuyan, who was standing facing the window, said, "I will avoid suspicion in the future."

……

After the jade pendant was thrown, Zhang Xiucai didn't immediately bring someone to the door to claim compensation. Zhan Feiyu guessed that he was waiting for Xiumu from the county school to come over today.

"Xiao Yu, there are many carriages coming to the entrance of the village." Zhu Zi ran so fast that he was out of breath, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'll go find the village chief and the old patriarch right away."

Before Zhan Feiyu could speak, Zhu Zi ran out like a whirlwind again.

In the yard, the cowpea in Mrs. Li's hand fell to the ground, and her complexion turned pale. Mrs. Li felt uneasy if Zhang Xiucai did not come, but Mrs. Li was also terrified when they came today.

"Mother, don't worry, let me handle it." Zhan Feiyu wiped the sweat from his face.

Just after a set of punches, Zhan Feiyu blushed, coupled with a bright smile, like the rising sun, giving people warmth and peace of mind.

Mrs. Li nodded, calmed down a bit, and urged: "Go into the room and wash it quickly, don't catch a cold."

In the past few days, the most talked about in the village is the jade pendant that was accidentally broken by Mrs. Li, worth 5000 taels!It's not enough to put together all the money in the village.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, people from every household came out. The paths in the village were tightly blocked, and the carriages couldn't get in, so they had to stop at the entrance of the village.

"Troublemakers come out of poor mountains and evil waters!" Looking at the dark crowd, Qin Ye frowned in disgust, but he could only get out of the carriage, and stepped on chicken shit.

"Ah!" Qin Ye yelled angrily, wishing he could throw away his boots, but there were no shoes on the carriage, so he had to rub them on the ground again and again, and his face became even more ugly.

Wan Yunhao bowed his hands to Tong Xu, who got off the carriage, with the same attitude as before, "Young master."

"Brother Wan." Tong Xu returned the salute, and now his family was criticized by the school population, but Wan Yunhao didn't make trouble, which made Tong Xu's impression of him much better.

Qin Ye curled his lips in disdain, if he hadn't been a little afraid of Wan Yunhao's brother-in-law, he would have opened his mouth to ridicule Tong Xu.

What kind of person is Sun Fu? There are only a few rich merchants who dare to go to the county school to beat up the instructors and students. As a noble scholar, Qin Ye naturally took his anger on Tong Xu.

Master Xie was the last to get out of the carriage, and the attendants at the side whispered: "Master, Wan Juren is so polite to that young master."

"Shut up, listen more and talk less!" Master Xie gave his attendants a warning look. That young man has a dignified temperament, he must be from a big family in Fucheng, how can they talk about it behind his back.

A group of people marched to the gate of the courtyard, but unfortunately the gate was locked from the inside.

Servant A of the Zhang family slammed the courtyard door loudly and shouted, "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

"What kind of child prodigy? I think it's a shrinking turtle!" Servant B scolded mockingly, and kicked the courtyard door with a loud bang. Fortunately, the wooden door was strong so that it was not broken.

"What are you doing?" The villagers shouted dissatisfied.

Several men even blocked the gate of the courtyard, and raised their fists at the servants of the Zhang family, "If you have something to say, don't come to our village to play wild!"

"It's so early in the morning, Xiaoyu hasn't woken up yet." Shanwa Ziniang yelled in agreement, looking at Zhang Xiucai and Ma Matchmaker with hostility.

Tong Xu, Wan Yunhao, and Qin Ye stood outside the crowd. They just came to watch the fun, and there was no need to conflict with these vulgar villagers. Besides, this was in Jinlin Village. I couldn't bear the beatings of hundreds of villagers.

Zhang Xiucai looked at Cunzheng, who was walking from the crowd, with a sarcastic sneer on his fat facial features, "Zhan Cunzheng, is Zhan Feiyu planning to renege on his debt?"

Xiaoyu said a few days ago that he would borrow money, but it was 5000 taels. Who in Shangsi County could go bankrupt and lend money to Xiaoyu?

But losing is not losing, the village is looking at the short and fat Zhang Xiucai and said coldly: "Zhang Xiucai is also a scholar, not to mention sending a greeting card, at least let me know in advance, and bring someone to call him early in the morning." It's normal for Xiaoyu to be frightened at such a young age."

Without waiting for Zhang Xiucai to refute, Muramasa turned his head and said, "Pillar, call the door."

"Okay." Zhu Zi deliberately pushed servant B away, and then shouted at the door, "Auntie, Xiao Yu, the village chief and the old patriarch are here, you don't have to be afraid, you can open the door."

Li Shi bolted the courtyard door purely because Zhan Feiyu was wiping himself to prevent being bumped by outsiders. When he saw Zhan Feiyu coming out of the bedroom, Li Shi also opened the door.

Hula, the yard was full of people all of a sudden.

"Grandfather, villager, please sit down." Zhan Feiyu greeted the old patriarch and they sat down on the chairs in the main room. As for the other bad guests who came to the door, there were only so many chairs and stools, and those who didn't sit had to stand.

Wan Yunhao, Tong Xu, and Qin Ye didn't bother to feel disgusted anymore, and hurriedly sat down on the bench.

"Is this how little Mengtong Zhan treats guests?" Zhang Xiucai, who was self-reliant on his status, was a step behind and had to stand, but his face was extremely ugly.

Sitting on the square stool, Zhan Feiyu smiled and said, "Zhang Xiucai doesn't need to put gold on his face, you can't be called a guest!"

"Furthermore, I hope that after today's incident, Zhang Xiucai will stop asking a matchmaker to propose a marriage. Even if all the men in the Daqing Dynasty are dead, I still look down on Zhang Tianhao, that ignorant dude!"

"You..." Zhang Xiucai's face was livid with anger, Zhang Tianhao would be his only son no matter how bad he was, and there were people inside and outside the house today, once word got out, Zhang Tianhao's reputation would be lost.

Zhanfei Yuren Xiaogui sighed, "It seems that being too talented is also a trouble, I know I am very good, let Zhang Xiucai let you put down your personal grudges, and even take out the jade pendant handed down from the Zhang family to propose marriage, but even if you put The Zhang family's ancestral property is taken as a betrothal gift, and I don't like Zhang Tianhao, Zhang Xiucai, give up!"

"Her?" Qin Ye looked dumbfounded at Zhan Feiyu who spoke surprisingly, this was the first time he saw such a brazen person!How confident she is to dare to boast like this!
Wan Yunhao and Tong Xu also had chapped expressions, not to mention how bold Zhan Feiyu's remarks were, at least Zhang Tianhao, whom she disliked, has no face to appear in front of people. Being belittled by a little girl like this is a great shame to a man!
Village Zheng didn't speak to the old patriarch or elders, and he felt extremely happy. Does Zhang Xiu have the face to refute?

The horse matchmaker was found by him, and the ancestral jade pendant worth 5000 taels was also a bride price from his Zhang family, tsk tsk, this is not a marriage proposal, this is a perverted sale of a son, but Xiaoyu still doesn't like it!
Zhang Xiucai was so angry that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood, his scarlet eyes burst out with a terrifying fierce light, wishing he could cut the sharp-mouthed Zhan Feiyu alive to vent his hatred.

"You don't need to gossip, your mother dropped my Zhang family's ancestral jade pendant, and I'm here to pay for it!" Zhang Xiucai gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and the entourage at his side immediately took out the wooden box Open it, and inside is a small fish pendant that has been broken in half.

"This is Tao shopkeeper of Zhenbaoxuan, please come and evaluate the price of my Zhang family's jade pendant." Zhang Xiucai stepped back two steps to the side, and stopped arguing with Zhan Feiyu, so as not to be mad at himself.

Everyone who has been to Zhenbaoxuan knows shopkeeper Tao. At this moment, he stepped forward and bowed his hands to everyone in the room, "Old Tao Qian, I was entrusted by Zhang Xiucai to come here today. If you have any objections to the appraisal results, old man willing to take responsibility."

"Treasurer Tao please." Zhan Feiyu said with a smile, subdued his coldness and sharpness, and was a beautiful little girl with a strong bookish air.

Shopkeeper Tao carefully took out the jade pendant from the wooden box, "To identify whether it is real jade, you can drop water on the jade, if it becomes dewdrops and does not disperse for a long time, it is real jade, otherwise it is inferior jade."

The clerk of Zhenbaoxuan said to the people in the yard: "Would any aunt please get a bowl and fill it with water by the way."

In this way, cheating can be prevented, Shanwazi Niang hurried into the kitchen, and when the water came, shopkeeper Tao dropped a drop of water on the jade, and it was true jade as he said.

"It seems to be real jade." The villagers in the yard exclaimed. They have never seen many jade ornaments, let alone distinguishing between real and fake.

"Secondly, if you touch it with your hands, the top-grade jade feels cold and smooth. Would you like to try it, little Mengtong?" Tao shopkeeper asked. Tasting.

Zhan Feiyu shook his head, "No need, Shopkeeper Tao, please continue."

"Hold the jade to the light. If the color is clear and there are no cracks inside, it is of high quality." Shopkeeper Tao explained and appraised it, and finally came to the result, "Everyone, according to the old man's experience in Zhenbaoxuan over the years, If this jade pendant is intact, the price will be between 5000 and [-] taels."

Gold is priceless, jade is priceless!Good-looking jade is hard to come by, and if you meet someone you like, the price will naturally go up.

Zhang Xiucai was very satisfied with the result, snorted coldly, and pretended to be generous: "In this case, the price is 4000 taels, Zhan Feiyu, are you planning to become my Zhang family's daughter-in-law or compensate according to the price?"

Li's face turned pale. Although it was 1000 taels cheaper, 4000 taels is still a sky-high price!

"If you can't give the money, don't blame me for being rude. When you go to court, you will have all the witnesses and material evidence. I believe Mr. Chen will give a fair verdict!" Zhang Xiucai showed an aggressive and strong posture, and finally managed to win the game. !

Tong Xu, who was sitting on the bench, looked at Zhan Feiyu. After waiting for a few days, his patience was exhausted, "Zhan Feiyu, if you sell me the prescription in your hand, I am willing to bid 5000 taels!"

Compared to being forced to marry, or watching his mother go to jail, Tong Xu thinks that selling Fangzi is the best choice for Zhan Feiyu, and it can also make Tongfu remember her favor.

Ho!What recipe is so valuable?

The old patriarch, the village chief and the clan elders, including the villagers in the yard, were all taken aback. In this way, Xiaoyu can still earn 1000 taels!

Zhan Feiyu looked at Zhang Xiucai and Tong Xu, who were singing a good face and a bad face, and said unceremoniously: "Is the price too low for Mr. Tong? Fang Zi, who can bring Tongfu back to life Worth 5000 taels of silver, isn't the life of the whole family too cheap?"
