Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

This sound scared everyone.

"What are you yelling about? What's wrong?" Fang Wanjin asked with some disgust.

Di Gua anxiously dug into his sleeve pocket and kept mumbling: "I just put it here. What was there just now is gone. It's gone."

Hearing what he said, Bamboo and Donkey also became anxious and hurriedly gathered around him to help him shake off their sleeves.

"Are you sure you put it here?"

"It seems like it's really gone. Was it lost?"

"I do not know."

The three of them were all anxious. Seeing them like this, Liu Yunxiang asked, "Did you lose your money?"

As soon as these words came out, Di Gua cried out unexpectedly, "It's all my fault. I lost the money. What should I do?"

The other two people hurriedly looked around, getting more and more anxious.

Liu Yunxiang comforted them not to worry, and then asked how much money was lost.

"It's a full tael of silver!" Zhuzi said anxiously.

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment, "How much money do you earn from selling bamboo insects?"

"Yes, I have been saving for almost a month this time, and the boss just paid me a tael of silver."

"That's it." Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment, "The money is lost and I can't find it. You go back to class first and save it later."

"That's too late!"

Liu Yunxiang was about to ask why it was too late, when Fang Wanjin shouted, "Okay, stop shouting, this is not the case."

As he said this, he walked over, opened his mouth, and found a piece of silver in his hand.

The other three people hurriedly came over and were stunned when they saw the silver in his hand.

"But what we lost is two broken pieces of silver." Digua scratched his head.

Fang Wanjin coughed dryly and stuffed it into Di Gua's hand uncomfortably. "It's only one tael of silver after all. You threw it on the ground and I picked it up from the ground. It's yours. Take it and go back quickly."

Digua wanted to say something else, but Liu Yunxiang waved his hand at him, "You go back to class first."

The three of them glanced at Fang Wanjin in tacit understanding, then turned around and went back.

Fang Wanjin looked at the sky and said to Liu Yunxiang: "Master's wife, let's go down the mountain quickly. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to come back before noon."

Liu Yunxiang responded and walked down the mountain with Fang Wanjin.

"That one tael of silver just now was yours, right?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Fang Wanjin curled his lips, "It's only a tael of silver. I'm just too lazy to listen to their crying and howling."

Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Fang Wanjin. This young man was mean-mouthed, impatient, and naughty, but he was a good boy with a soft heart and a kind heart.

"By the way, they said it was too late. What do they mean?"

"They are raising money to help Xie Si participate in the flower list."

"Xie Si wants to participate in the flower contest?"

"That's right, the academy's brand name has been taken off, and the students in the academy are no longer eligible to participate in the provincial examination. Ordinary people like us have no other way but to participate in the provincial examination years ago."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, but she didn't expect this.

"Do I have to pay to participate in the flower list?"

"Twelve taels of silver. Xie Si's father fell ill and died last year. There is an old grandmother and her mother at home. How could they come up with these ten taels of silver? So the three of them started saving for him half a year ago."

Unexpectedly, these children were so attached to love and justice. Liu Yunxiang thought of something else and turned to ask Fang Wanjin: "How much did you help me get?"

"Ever since I was dropped out of Mingyuan Academy, my father stopped giving me monthly pocket money, and only my mother secretly gave it to me."

"How many?"

"Five taels."

Liu Yunxiang reached out and rubbed Fang Wanjin's head. The child was frightened by the sudden blow and took a step back. After reacting, he was a little shy: "You can't touch the top of a man's head."

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "So you just gave them another tael of silver. Have they collected enough?" "If it's enough, Xie Si can go to participate in the flower list tomorrow."

"Then let's go cheer for him together."

When they came to the market, Fang Wanjin was very familiar with the place and took her to the grain and oil shop.Liu Yunxiang wanted a lot, so after paying the money, he asked the shop assistant to deliver it to the academy.

As a result, the clerk didn’t know where Banshan Academy was, so Liu Yunxiang had no choice but to say it was behind Mingyuan Academy.

"There is actually an academy in Zhushui County. I didn't even know it." The clerk said, patting his forehead.

Fang Wanjin said bluntly: "That's because you have little knowledge."

"Yes, yes, my fault."

After coming out of the grain and oil store, Liu Yunxiang asked Fang Wanjin to take him to buy bowls and vegetable basins. She found that there were not enough bowls in the academy, so one student had to wash them after they were used by another student, and the vegetable basins were all empty. No, just use the pot.

Thinking of this, she bought tables, chairs and benches, and added new quilts and mattresses to the students' houses, as well as a basin for washing and some supplies.

Also, the college's buildings were too dilapidated and needed repairs, so she asked Fang Wanjin to lead her to find laborers.After agreeing on when to repair the house, Liu Yunxiang hired a cook.

Seeing her spending her money freely, Fang Wanjin was a little dumbfounded.

"Master Wife, is your family rich?"

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Well, I have money, so you don't have to feel bad for me."

"I don't feel bad."

The last step was to go to the meat stall. Liu Yunxiang was thinking of getting a big piece of meat so that the cook could make dumplings for the children tonight.

They bought meat and when they were walking back, a woman called out to Fang Wanjin.

"Wanjin, why did you come down the mountain?"

Liu Yunxiang turned around after Fang Wanjin and saw a woman in her forties with a basket on her arm filled with vegetables.

When Fang Wanjin saw her, he seemed a little at a loss and subconsciously wanted to hide behind Liu Yunxiang.But the woman saw him and came forward with a smile.

This woman looked familiar to Liu Yunxiang, as if he had seen her before.

"Wan Jin, why haven't you come to our house for dinner for so long? Why are you separated from us when your brother Xu is not around?"

When Fang Wanjin saw the woman approaching, he could only stand up and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, auntie? I'm just busy with my studies recently and can't get away."

The woman nodded with a smile, "That's how it should be. Study hard and be named on the gold medal list like your brother Xu, so that your parents will be proud of you."

"Yes, my aunt is right."

The woman looked at Fang Wanjin with a loving face and gave many instructions carefully, and then she noticed Liu Yunxiang next to her.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, she is the wife of Mr. Yan, the new student in our academy."

"It's Mrs. Yan."

Liu Yunxiang nodded to the woman and finally remembered who she was.

After a few more words, Fang Wanjin finally asked the woman to leave on the grounds that he was in a hurry to return to the academy for classes.

"Her son was a student of Banshan Academy?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

This woman belonged to the family that made incense. She and Yan Mu went to her house when they were asking about Banshan Academy.

Fang Wanjin's expression turned ugly, "Oh."

"What's wrong?" Liu Yunxiang saw something wrong with Fang Wanjin's face.

"There are too many unfair things in this world."

Liu Yunxiang was amused, "Why do you suddenly feel so emotional?"

"It's just like business people cannot take the imperial examination, but hasn't the imperial court always advertised that they demote talents in an eclectic way? Why are our business people lower than others? Furthermore, the Queen Mother is still in business, and she doesn't look down on businessmen."

Liu Yunxiang thought that Fang Wanjin was grievances for him, so he said: "It is a law set by the ancestors of Da Rong that businessmen cannot participate in the imperial examination, and the Queen Mother cannot change it at will." (End of this chapter)
