Chapter 50 Jade Shop

It is because the cost of taking the exam is too high that Yuan Baishan has been delayed.

Five years ago, Yuan Baishan planned to sign up for the exam, but the registration fee was a huge stumbling block, blocking the poor children.

"Even if the children of the poor family are educated, they can't afford such a heavy expense. Those who took the exam in previous years were all wealthy people. Regardless of their strength, as long as they signed up, they could pass the exam easily." Yuan Baishan felt worthless.

Really talented people are buried, such as Yuan Baishan who can't afford the registration fee, there are too many in Milu Academy.

Yuan Yuan: "?"

She widened her eyes, this is an exam, this is clearly a money grab!
"Brother, is the registration fee in the surrounding counties so expensive?" Yuan Yuan felt that it was impossible. Such an expensive examination fee, [-] taels of silver, was enough for their family to spend a few years in the capital. Impossible to spend so much.

Whoever has more money has nowhere to spend, and spends [-] taels of silver to sign up for the county exam, and that's not necessarily the case.

Yuan Wanyi sighed: "It's useless, the neighboring counties are not cheap, and you can only take the exam in this county, even if we know that the former county magistrate earned money from the county exam, we can't do anything about it, should we go to the prefect to report it? ?"

"Someone used to go to the prefect to sue the official. I didn't expect that when the prefect was found, it was discovered by the former county magistrate for some reason, and there was no news after that." said.

Yuan Tongyue snorted: "[-]% of the people who sued officials were silenced. I think the county magistrate and the prefect are on the same boat, and they are in the same boat."

But now everything has changed for the better. The county magistrate has changed, and the family still has extra money. Now, let alone taking the exam, it's okay to go all the way to the capital for the exam.

"No wonder..." Yuan Yuan didn't ask any more, no wonder the former county magistrate was harmed by others, it was too hateful to think about it.

They are blatantly greedy for money, and do not know how many bad things they have done behind the scenes.The death of the county magistrate does not know who did it.

"I hope this new county magistrate... can be more responsible." Yuan Wanyi sighed, that little magistrate didn't know whether he was reliable or not.

Yuan Yuan's brows moved, Nie Mingli is a good person, at present, he is indeed quite responsible, but the problem is, with such a complicated qi entangled in him, he will not survive for two years at all.

Are you going to help him?Yuan Yuan pondered that as long as the money is in place, she would not refuse a business that is not harmful, but it is not expensive to clear his anger.

She doesn't like to be involved in cause and effect, and she doesn't accept credit.

"Brother, you said the county magistrate...isn't he rich?" Yuan Yuan suddenly said, this question is very important.

Yuan Wanyi didn't even think about it, and just looked at how greedy the county magistrate was, how could he be poor: "There must be, let alone 1 taels, even 10 taels, I'm afraid he can take it out."

Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up, and he should find an opportunity to type out his name so that he can talk about business in the future.

……

Several people came all the way to Milu Academy, knowing that the two younger brothers were willing to come to study, Yuan Baishan was very happy, feeling that they had finally come to their senses, and immediately went to explain the matter to the gentlemen of the academy. Together, these old gentlemen planned to give them to him. They have a separate set of test questions.

As long as the test questions are cleared, one can study at Milu Academy in the same month of the Yuan year.

This is a good thing. In the same year, in the same month, Yuan and the same month were a little nervous. The test questions were given in the morning, and the two of them would be tested in the afternoon. For the rest of the morning, the two of them planned to follow Yuan Baishan to study hard.

Seeing how hard they were learning, Yuan Yuan and Yuan Wanyi left Milu Academy with confidence, planning to wait for their two afternoon tests to end and go back after knowing the test results.

It is best for these two clever ghosts to be able to clear the customs at one time. If this time fails, when Yuan Baishan returns home, they will definitely give them a devil-like remedy, and they will suffer.

Yuan Wan came to the town when he thought about it. It is better to discuss Yuan Yuan's proposal with Yuan Qiansong first. If Yuan Yuan's proposal wants to work, it still depends on Yuan Qiansong. This idea will not be successful in a short time. Think long.

He thought about it again and again, and asked Yuan Yuan, "Liu Liu, I'll go to your second brother to discuss what happened yesterday, do you want to play by yourself or come with me."

He actually wanted to bring Yuan Yuan with him, but Yuan Yuan just said last time that he wanted private space, and since she had talked about those magical things, Yuan Wan thought it was better to let her play.

"Big brother, I want to stroll around the town myself, you don't have to worry about me, I'll go to the second brother's place to meet you at noon." Yuan Yuan decisively chose the former.

She also has to surprise her family. How could she make this surprise with her eldest brother.

After an appointment with Yuan Wanyi, Yuan Yuan found the best jade shop in town alone, not by asking for directions, but by Yuan Yuan's own eyes.

This jade shop is located in a very remote part of the town. The shop is not the largest shop in the town, and it is even a bit shabby, but the aura in the shop is the strongest.

With so much spiritual energy gathered here, Yuan Yuan felt that the owner of this shop must be a reliable person.

This shop is also deserted enough. Pushing the door and entering, there is only an old grandfather with a beard and white flowers. Although his eyes are cloudy, he is carefully observing with a piece of jade in his hand.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, he carefully put down the jade and looked at Yuan Yuan who had just come in.

At the first glance at each other, Yuan Yuan noticed the difference between this old grandfather. These eyes are not ordinary eyes.

He can see qi, although it may not be as clear as Yuan Yuan's, but he can really feel it, that's why he has collected so many jade stones with spiritual qi.

And this old grandfather has a dead energy on his body, indicating that he will not live long, maybe seven days, maybe five days...

If you ask him to carve, it is estimated that he will die before this piece of rough jade is finished.

Looking down at Puyu in his hand, Yuan Yuan still intends to change to another store. The old man has only a few days to live, so he should not cause him trouble and let him enjoy the happy life in the world in the last few days.

She turned around decisively and left, and the grandfather stopped her in time.

"Wait..." He stood up with difficulty, staggering. "Little girl, you came to find me to carve jade, why are you leaving now?"

"Grandpa, I just came in to take a look. If there is any disturbance, I will leave now." Yuan Yuan said goodbye to him.

But he obviously didn't want Yuan Yuan to go, so he walked over quickly, his cloudy eyes revealing hope: "The qi in your body is the purest I have ever seen."

Yuan Yuan was stunned, and his heart that wanted to leave also stopped, not for other reasons, just because the master said the same thing when he saw him.
