Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 208

It is common to ask someone to deliver a letter.

When I was staying at a hotel earlier, a waiter in the store mentioned that if I couldn’t wait to go home after the exam, I could ask the reporter to deliver a letter.

Just need to spend some money.

Nowadays, the job of "reporting" seems to have become a profession, and many people specialize in this kind of job.

If you happen to meet an employer who passed the exam, you can go to someone else's house to announce the good news and get a reward.

If you report your worries, although there is no reward, you still have the deposit given earlier, so naturally you won't do it in vain, and scholars care about face, even if you don't do well in the exam, you won't default on the mantissa.

It's a good job with a steady profit.

So as soon as Shen Chenlan returned to the inn, many people who took this kind of work came forward to ask.

Originally, there were more people at the gate of the Gongyuan, but the officers and soldiers there were heavily guarded, and these people could not be allowed to be so presumptuous, so they dared not go forward to intercept them blatantly.

Now that they arrived at the inn, Shen Chenlan also negotiated with Jiang Shi, asked the price of several applicants, and chose the one who seemed to have a clean identity and gave the deposit first.

To do this job, you need to provide your home address and a guarantor. Those who can attract customers in this inn are also familiar with the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper can also be half of the guarantor.

Seeing that he should be reliable, the deposit given should not be in vain.

After dealing with this matter, Shen Chenlan and Jiang Shi went back to the room.

As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Shi couldn't help asking: "Just now there were several young people who looked much stronger in hands and feet, why didn't you pick them, instead you picked a guy with thin arms and legs, that guy looks weaker than you , when the time comes to rush from the state capital to the village, will he be able to bear the distance?"

Shen Chenlan was stepped on for no reason, and she was not annoyed, and said: "The man said just now that he is also a scholar, but his mother is seriously ill, so he didn't take the exam this time, and now my mother is in urgent need of money for medicine, so she came here to collect money." With such a job, I think I can help a little bit."

When he said that, Jiang Shi was speechless.

He remembered that the father and son surnamed Jiang came over that day and talked about Shen Chenlan's biological mother. At that time, his mother was also seriously ill.

I don't know if I have tried to do what I did today, trying to find ways to earn some money for my mother's life-saving.

Come to think of it, Shen Lan is also very filial.

Jiang Shi regretted mentioning this.

……

On the second day, after Jiang Shi and Shen Chenlan reported to the county magistrate Mr. Zhang as usual, they hired a mule cart in advance and set off.

There are also many candidates who went home early, and some of them are as eager to return home as they are.

Some felt that they didn't do very well in the exam, so they simply didn't waste money waiting for the results here, and went home early.

Mr. Zhang stayed in the city with a small group of people, saying that they would take advantage of these two days to visit Changpingzhou City and learn a lot along the way. When they return to their respective villages, they will have something to say.

The mule cart on the return trip was going faster than the one on the way back, and when we set off, we walked cautiously, taking care of things like whether our health would be able to bear it or not.

Now that the exams are over, naturally I don't have much to worry about.

So when it was almost dusk on the second day, the mule cart had already arrived at Huatian Village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a familiar figure wandering around the archway.

Shen Chenlan didn't care about other things, so she jumped off the mule cart and ran towards Jiang Ning.

"Honey! Why did you come out?"

Jiang Ning was taken aback, this title would only pop up when Xianggong was occasionally excited, or when he was out of choice.

She raised her head and saw the husband rushing towards her.

The longing accumulated over the past half month flooded into my heart immediately, and the sockets of my eyes became hot in no time.

She didn't want to appear so weak in front of her husband, but the grievances accumulated in her heart were completely released after seeing this person.
