I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 244
Chongguang looked at the two people in the room who started discussing knowledge again, thanked Bumin and walked out the door.

Seeing He Nuan standing under the veranda, Zhong Guang approached him and asked mysteriously, "Does the fat girl read history every day?"

Reading history makes one wise!Zhongguang suspects that Zhan Feiyu's mind is all about studying history and books. He didn't like reading back then. No wonder he is naive and straightforward. Hey...

He Nuan looked at Chong Guang with various expressions, didn't know what he was thinking, but still replied: "It's inconvenient to go out, and all I bring are the books needed for the imperial examination."

Although it is a subset of classics and history, the history books are too thick and it is inconvenient to bring them out. At present, Zhan Feiyu mainly studies the Four Books and Five Classics.

"Is that so?" Looking back into the room, Shigemitsu rubbed his chin with one hand and thought.

At first he thought that Qi Ye treated the fat girl differently because she was pure-hearted, and was used to seeing darkness, ugliness and bloody fighting in the Forbidden Dragon Guard, so the harmless smile on the fat girl was really pretty.

But thinking about it carefully, Zhongguang felt that he was very wrong. The fat girl is small, but in terms of insidiousness and cunning, she is no different from those ministers in the court. Qi Ye doesn't worry about being tricked by the fat girl in the future?Take advantage of it?

Yin Wuyan glanced outside, and a cold voice sounded, "Guan Zhongjian?"

Thrifty, stingy.The sage Confucius once said that Guan Zhong is a small weapon, and a stingy person is a small weapon. Zhan Feiyu replied: "Guan's family has three returns, and official affairs are not taken care of."

Guan Zhong's three mansions were managed by three people respectively, regardless of frugality or stinginess, so Confucius' so-called pettiness is definitely not because of stinginess.

"Does Guan Zhong know rituals?" Hearing Yin Wuyan's question, Zhan Feiyu frowned, "The sage once said: The king of the state will set up a gate, and the family of Guan will also set up a gate. The clan also has objections. Who knows the etiquette when you are in charge of the clan, who doesn't know the etiquette?"

There is a screen outside the gate of the monarch, and there is a screen outside the gate of Guan Zhong's house.At the monarch's banquet, there are soil tables for placing wine glasses in the hall, and Guan Zhong also has such soil tables for banquet guests.

If it is said that Guan Zhong knows propriety, who does not know propriety?As a matter of fact, Saimen and Fanfu are both the etiquette of the monarch, but Guan Zhong did it arbitrarily, which is really ignorant of etiquette.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu who was frowning and thinking, Yin Wuyan did not urge her. The little girl did have thoughts, but her methods were too immature and clumsy, like this time.

She used the fact that she was framed into the prison to restrain the Liu family and the prefect of Chu, and thus successfully obtained 50 taels of silver, but she never thought that this was a personal risk, and someone secretly would take the opportunity to kill her. If she hadn't had the means to save her life, This time it's bad luck!
"Guan Zi·Xiao Kuang Pian" records: "Shi Bo called Lu Hou and said, Guan Zhong is a sage in the world and a great talent." Zhan Feiyu remembered this passage and knew that Guan Zhong was by no means petty and ignorant of etiquette.

Yin Wuyan pointed to "The Analects of Confucius".

Zhan Feiyu was startled, and after a while he understood, "If Qi changes, it will become Lu; if Lu changes, it will become Dao."

After being instructed by Yin Wuyan, Zhan Feiyu's thoughts became clear, "This is the way of kingship and hegemony. Qi State is a powerful country in the Spring and Autumn Period. Duke Huan of Qi, as the head of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period, finally achieved hegemony, but the sage Confucius pursued Confucianism and Taoism. Benevolent governance, I hope that the hegemonic power of Qi will eventually return to the rule of benevolence and morality, and finally implement the kingly way of benevolence in the world."

"Guan Zhong's weapon is so small! It's not really small or stingy or impolite, but because Confucius was disappointed and Guan Zhong's ability did not reach the realm of kingship. The so-called small weapon is just because he stopped after he achieved hegemony. "

Looking at Zhan Feiyu who was talking eloquently, Yin Wuyan took over the words, "Sage Kong is pursuing four governance."

"Government by benevolence, rule by virtue, rule by rites, and rule by man." Zhan Feiyu was familiar with "The Analects of Confucius" and "Commentary to the Analects of Confucius", her eyes rolled, and she just wanted to say that compared with Confucianism governing the country, she agrees with Legalism.

But before he could say anything, Zhan Feiyu gave a guilty smile to Shang Yin Wuyan's bottomless black eyes, but he didn't dare to "speech nonsense". Whoever made the current emperor agree with Confucianism governing the country, not strict Legalists.

In the yard, Liu Heyu listened to the conversation in the room, his delicately made-up face was filled with admiration and admiration. If the son of the Liu family had a talent for reading like Zhan Feiyu, why would the Liu family not prosper?
He Nuan stood quietly at the door. It stands to reason that if there is a visitor, no matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, He Nuan should inform him out of courtesy, just like Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wei who came to the door before.

But Liu Heyu was obviously more shrewd and tactful, so he stopped He Nuan in a low voice, it doesn't matter if he waits a little longer, he shouldn't disturb Zhan Feiyu's study.

Chong Guang still looked lazy, sitting on a stone bench in the yard, his eyes fixed on the gift box in the maid's hand.

Tsk tsk, it is said that the prefect has been cleared for three years, and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver!The fat girl was about to receive one hundred thousand snowflakes this morning, and this big jail time was worth it.

When He Nuan led Liu Heyu into the house, Zhan Feiyu had already stood up to greet him, and Yin Wuyan retreated to the inner room ahead of schedule.

"Miss Liu, please forgive me for being far away." Zhan Feiyu Baozi smiled, showing good manners.

Since Liu Heyu came to seek cooperation, his posture was even lower, and he laughed crisply: "I came here uninvited to disturb Miss Zhan's study, and I should pay the girl for it."

Chong Guang listened to the polite greetings of the two people in the room, and rolled his eyes boredly, it seems that the fat girl looks like that.

"Miss Zhan, I'm a straightforward person. I came here this time to make amends for Qifang." Liu Heyu understood Zhan Feiyu's character to some extent. The little girl didn't like devious behavior, but it didn't mean that she didn't have a city, but that she was too lazy. Waste time and energy on little things.

As Shigemitsu guessed, Mrs. Wu gave 2000 taels of silver notes, Mrs. Wei took out 2 taels on behalf of the Jin family, and Liu Heyu gave even more generously: a total of 5 taels of silver notes.

Coupled with other compensations, the one hundred thousand snowflake silver was really obtained.

Zhan Feiyu laughed and didn't accept or refuse, letting Liu Heyu hold the gift box with silver notes, "The property of the seventh house of the Liu family is estimated to be about 5 taels. Ms. Liu is so important, is there something special about it?" What do you want?"

Chongguang in the yard really wanted to add: If you have nothing to do to be courteous, you are either rape or robbery!

The Qifang of the Liu family is considered good in the collateral lineage of the Liu family, but apart from the house, shop, farmland and two Zhuangzi, the total cash and profits in the Qifang's books are estimated to be 5 taels.

Liu Heyu glanced at the room calmly. The gentleman who taught Zhan Feiyu just now might not be here because of the aides. There is only one possibility. This person avoided to the inner room.

Even if a man is an elder, but as a scholar, he would enter the inner room where the little girl lives. This is absolutely unreasonable. Then there is only one possibility. This man's status in Zhan Feiyu's place is extraordinary.

Liu Heyu, who wanted to understand, was a little envious. No matter how good Zhan Feiyu was in his studies, he was born in the countryside after all. There must be someone who specially taught and instructed her to avoid mistakes in her life.

No wonder the Jin family wanted Jin Guixuan to learn from the prefect of Chu. Having a good teacher can really save a lot of trouble and detours.

"Miss Zhan." Liu Heyu knew that Zhan Feiyu was being pointed out behind his back, so he didn't dare to deceive her, so he explained the real purpose of coming straight to the point.

"Before He Feng passed away, he gave you all the property under his name. Maybe the Yamen filed it. I estimated that the assets under He Feng's name are about 50 taels of silver."

"I know, Mr. Liu mentioned it before." Zhan Feiyu didn't think that Liu Hejin's sneaky late-night visit could fool Liu Heyu.

"The so-called art industry has a specialization. Miss Zhan, you are good at reading, and I am better at earning money." Liu Heyu smiled warmly, and his attitude was even more frank. "I can decide to hand over the 50 taels of silver to Miss Zhan."

Liu Heyu didn't hide the information he could find out, "As for Miss Zhan, you can leave it to Mr. Deng, but if the money stays in Liu's house, I can guarantee that it will become a million taels and more in the future."

To take away the money is to kill the goose and take the eggs!And Zhan Feiyu is a scholar, and she is not suitable for doing business, so it is the best way to put this money in the Liu family's money to make money.

"Using the 50 taels of silver that will be returned to me as the capital, and the Liu family has the protection of a first-rank bachelor, and can also frighten Xiao Xiao under the name of sending money to support the Southwest Road Army Camp. Miss Liu is indeed a shrewd businessman." .” Zhan Feiyu looked at Liu Heyu with a smile, killing three birds with one stone.

The Liu family is not short of money, but 50 taels of cash is also a lot. The Liu family will not be hurt, but it will also hurt the heart. If the cash is not paid for by property, the Liu family will be even more reluctant. It is an old hen that lays eggs, no matter who it is, it is reluctant to give it to anyone.

Applying Liu Heyu's method, the money stays in Liu's family, and in the future Liu's family will still act in the name of Gu Xueshi and General Deng, whether it is government office or local power, they will give three points of face.

There are guards in every state capital. Some of them have retreated from the border barracks, and some of them will go to the border in the future. The Liu family's money supports the Southwest Road barracks, so these guards will definitely give the Liu family convenience within their capabilities. However, as long as the local gentry or ruffians are afraid of the guards, they will not dare to make a move on the Liu family's business.

Liu Heyu never doubted Zhan Feiyu's intelligence. A little girl won the small three yuan of Nanxuan Mansion not because of Gu Xueshi's teacher, but because of her real talents.

"The Liu family did benefit from it, but at the same time, Miss Zhan, you have nothing to lose." Liu Heyu used his shrewdness as a businessman to lobby.

Liu Heyu is more willing to cooperate with Zhan Feiyu than the personal connections formed by the Liu family in the past.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu, she seemed to see herself back then, as smart as she was ambitious, but most women in this world are too harsh, and they will pay more to succeed.

"Miss Zhan, as the saying goes, money can turn ghosts around! In the future, girl, no matter whether you become an official in the imperial examination or become a reclusive scholar by writing books, you will never be able to escape the word money." Liu Heyu took over the business of the Liu family. In the past few years, she has also visited those court officials.

All of them flaunted being honest and honest, but in private they were dogs that couldn’t get enough to feed them. Liu’s family’s money was given away like water, but what Liu Heyu was upset about was that they not only didn’t show any gratitude at all, but they all had a superior attitude. Look at yourself Just like looking at a dog, taking money from the Liu family is a great gift.

What makes Liu Heyu even more angry is that some people still want to belittle her as an official, wanting her to be their slave and the Liu family to be their pocketbook.

"I'm not short of money." Zhan Feiyu is so rich and powerful!Even though Liu Heyu said the hype, but she is indeed not short of money.

Not to mention the money earned by selling fragrant soap from Beauty Makeup, the teacher gave away things and money notes every now and then, not to mention the big brother, Zhan Feiyu suddenly thought that if he met Gu Xueshi and Yin Wuyan in Jinlin Village at the beginning, he would Will you still study for the imperial examination?
Zhan Feiyu blocked all Liu Heyu's words back with one sentence. She is not short of money, so there is no need to cooperate with the Liu family. So what if money begets money?If there is no shortage of silver, no matter how much money there is, it will be piled up in the warehouse and covered with dust.

Liu Heyu lowered his head, as if he was drinking tea from a teacup, but he was actually thinking quickly.

The most important thing for a woman is to get married, but Zhan Feiyu, as a student of Bachelor Gu, has both status and dowry. It seems that the Liu family really has nothing to impress Zhan Feiyu.

Time passed bit by bit, and the room was silent.

"But I can promise you." Zhan Feiyu changed the topic.

Liu Heyu was completely stunned, she couldn't keep up with Zhan Feiyu's rhythm at all, and she didn't understand why she changed her mind.

"Thieves have their own way, and I think business has its own way. If we cooperate with Ms. Liu, I don't want to see people's lives being plundered and robbed indiscriminately." Zhan Feiyu also knows that it is impossible to completely eliminate it, but at least with Liu Heyu There are principles and a bottom line. Once there is a criminal in the Liu family, he must be punished severely and killed as an example.

Looking at Liu Heyu who didn't answer immediately, but fell into deep thought, Zhan Feiyu didn't urge him, and glanced into the inner room with a guilty conscience. Big brother wouldn't laugh at himself for thinking too much and not being tall?
Before coming here, Liu Heyu made many speculations and discussed with six staff members. Zhan Feiyu's refusal was also expected by her, but she agreed after she refused. Liu Heyu had to think more, she wanted to seek Gu Xueshi Asylum, but did not want to let the Liu family change hands.

In the silence, suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes outside, Zhan Feiyu was slightly startled, and then there was a noise, which could still be heard clearly even through the yard and the fence.

"Surround the inn immediately, and anyone who escapes will be shot!" The rough voice was loud, not only in the small courtyard, but also in the inn in front.

"Excuse me for a moment." Zhan Feiyu got up and walked out the door. Chongguang also jumped down from the tree in the courtyard.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu stretching his neck and looking out, Chongguang laughed, "Come on, you're short, you can't see the outside even if you stand on a stool, you're a soldier of the Huai'an Guard, leading the team It's Wei Kuan."

"Deputy Wei Qianhu?" Zhan Feiyu thought of Mrs. Wei who left in the morning after giving an apology. The couple are interesting. Is this the ceremony before the soldiers?
The soldiers from the guard didn't rush in immediately, but surrounded the entire Xinglong Inn, and the rest of the people stayed in the alley, densely packed with darkness. Just now, Chongguang stood on the tree and visually checked that there were at least 200 people.
