Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 55
There are a few rosy clouds in the sky in the east, dawn ushered in the silence, and chickens crow in the village one after another: "Goooooh, hooh~"

Wen Qian was awakened by the crowing of the rooster, opened her eyes, got up and moved her hands and feet.

The moment she left the room, she caught a glimpse of the jade pendant on the desk, hesitated for half a second, put it in her sleeve, and stepped out of the room indifferently.

Wen Yu bumped into the sleepy-eyed Wen Yu head-on, she was rubbing her eyes, her hair was slightly messy, her fair face was reddish, she looked like she had just woken up.

Wen Yu was surprised when she saw Wen Qian, and then remembered that she hadn't washed and dressed, covered her face in embarrassment, and whispered, "Brother, did you get up so early?"

morning?
Wen Qian raised her eyes and saw that the sky was slightly bright, and there was still a thick white morning fog ten meters away. It was indeed quite early.

This was the first time she woke up one month after coming to the ancient times.

"Ah."

Wen Yu received a cold response from her eldest brother, turned around and was about to leave, when his voice rang again.

"Ayu, I'm going to town today, so my mother doesn't have to leave me food."

Wen Yu froze, looked up at Wen Qian, then lowered her head again.

"Then when will you go home? Does the eldest brother want to live in the small courtyard in the town again?"

Wen Qian, who was stepping down the steps, instantly heard a hint of dissatisfaction in her soft tone, Ayu was a little unhappy!
I originally planned to live in the small courtyard in the town tonight, but it seems that this idea can only be shelved.

She hurriedly coaxed: "Ayu, don't worry, elder brother will definitely go home no matter how late tonight."

Wen Yu heard this, Wan Yan smiled, turned around and ran back to the house bouncing around.

Wen Qian saw that Wen Yu, who was always elegant and quiet, had a lively and lovely side, with a faint smile on his face, and left with his hands behind his back.

Anle Town, Chen Mansion.

in the library.

The wealthy Chen Linong and Wei Nuo, the owner of the Longyin Escort, each held a book list in their hands, and their faces were full of joy.

"Lord Wei, the roster of books in your hand is the most promising young man who is most likely to pass the entrance examination this year, and even the leader of the entire Xuancheng case."

Chen Linong put down the book list in his hand, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and continued: "My book list is just some people who are suspected of being successful, don't dirty your eyes."

Wei Nuo raised his eyebrows, put down the roster in his hand, picked up the roster that Chen Linong put down just now, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen was joking. This is my duty. How can I miss anyone."

If you don't look at the people on this roster, if someone is among the best and falls into the eyes of the master, you will not know.

The master blamed it, and I didn't even have a chance to defend myself.

Maybe you, an old bastard, will make trouble again!

It's a small matter to lose an official, but it's not worth losing your life.

Chen Linong smiled politely, with a hint of flattery: "Master Wei is careful and responsible in doing things, which makes me admire."

Wei Nuo nodded lightly, and didn't take the words to heart. Chen Linong, an old man, is not a kind person.

He opened the book list in his hand and looked at it page by page. There were not only young men who had won the fame of scholar, but also young geniuses who had just passed their childhood.

Suddenly, the word Wen Gan fell into Wei Nuo's eyes, and there was a murmur in his heart: This name is a bit familiar, where did I hear it?
I saw the roster read:

温乾
Not yet crowned (less than twenty)

Unmarried

A native of Wenjia Village, he was born with Kemu and lost his father when he was an adult. He has a stepmother named Jiang, two younger sisters and one younger brother.

Wen Gan was selected as a scholar at the age of 15. He failed in the scientific examination for four consecutive years, and he is suspected of winning this year.

After reading all the information, Wei Nuo paused, ready to turn to the next page, but found that this was already the bottom page.

He put down the book list and tapped the table with his hands, a trace of doubt appeared on his calm face.

This person is so young, even if he failed to win the exam for four years, he shouldn't be ranked last?
What's more, there are more than a dozen people in the roster who are over [-] and still have the status of juren. This Wen Gan obviously has a lot of advantages over them, so how could he be at the bottom?
Chen Linong put away the two book lists, saw Wei Nuo tapping on the table in a daze, and reminded him aloud: "Master Wei, Master Wei!"

"Huh? Mr. Chen, what did you say?" Wei Nuo came back to his senses and looked at Chen Linong beside him.

Chen Linong said: "Should we discuss, what rewards should be given to the top three in today's poetry meeting?"

Chen Linong is an old man who has no profit and can't afford it early. He is small-minded, snobbish, and greedy for power and wealth. What kind of idea is he hiding.

Wei Nuo's eyes were slightly cold, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, covering up the sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, he said puzzledly: "In the past, it was always the choice of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, could it be that this time Poetry Club, does Mr. Chen have a better proposal?"

There was a smug smile on Chen Linong's rich face: "The villain has such a small idea."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Wei Nuo raised his eyebrows, put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at him with some expectation.

Chen Linong smiled, took out an invitation card with golden borders from his sleeve, and put it on the table, "Master Wei, I want to use this invitation card as one of the rewards for the top three."

This post was given to him by Chu Qin two days ago, and one of them was given to Wen Gan, but Chen Yuanwai didn't send someone to give it to him, but used it in a roundabout way for the upcoming poetry meeting.

Chen Yuanwai believes that the pretentious Wen Gan will definitely come, even if he doesn't come, the invitation will fall into the hands of others.

He still has an invitation card for his own use in his hand, so he can go to Wenjia Village to invite Wen Gan to go with him, and he can even sell him a favor.

Wei Nuo opened the invitation with a puzzled face, and after seeing the content clearly, his eyes sank, and he looked at him pretending to envy: "Mr. Chen, you have great skills. You can get in touch with the heir of King Anyang. I admire you!"

"Haha, haha." Chen Linong laughed and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say, if Master Wei also wants to get acquainted with Chu Shizi, I can introduce you."

Anyway, the loyal master behind us has kept us in this poor Anle Town for many years, it's time to change to climb up!
Wei Nuo didn't expect that Chen Linong would dare to blatantly say words to win him over, and his face immediately changed: "Mr. Chen is so intentional, isn't he afraid of the Gu that the master has placed in our bodies?"

Chen Linong's face froze, he didn't expect Wei Nuo to be so disappointed, which pot he didn't open and which pot he lifted, and his tone became cold: "What are you talking about, Mr. Wei! I approach Chu Shizi for the sake of the master, don't want the heart of a villain to treat the heart of a gentleman." belly!"

Pooh!What about Gu?

Without the sound of the master's flute, it will always be an insect sleeping in the body, and the master has not looked for us for four years, maybe...

Wei Nuo didn't know what Chen Linong was thinking, so he more or less guessed what he was thinking. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "I made a mistake. I hope Mr. Chen will forgive you!"

Chen Linong shook his head and sighed: "Lord Wei, you are so loyal to your master, it's too late for a villain to admire you, how can you blame me, be polite, be polite."

Needless to say, blame, if I have the chance, I will definitely step on you into the mud, I have been coveting the Longyin Escort in your hand for a long time!
It's time to change the owner...

A coldness flashed quickly in Wei Nuo's eyes, and then he said with a smile: "Mr. Chen paid out of his own pocket, and gave the invitation to participate in the prince and crown ceremony to the top three in this poetry meeting. How can I not be left behind?"

As he spoke, he took out a book from his pocket and put it on the table: ""Thirty-six Strategies" is the No. 36 reward for this poetry meeting, what do Yuanwai think?"

"What? "36 Strategies"!"

Chen Linong looked at the slightly yellowed book on the table in shock, picked it up carefully, looked at it carefully for a moment, and exclaimed: "This is the "36 Strategies" written by Qin Zhao, the grandson of the Qin Kingdom, and it is a complete orphan copy."

Weinuo nodded: "Not bad!"

Member Chen put down the book with a bit of greed, and smiled awkwardly: "This book can indeed be the reward for No.1, and my invitation post is for No.2, so what prize will No.3 give?"

Wei Nuo picked up the teacup and drank it down, laughed loudly and said, "Haha, No.3? Why do we need to bother, just give us any pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

After all, he got up and walked out.

Chen Yuanwai's face changed again and again, and then he showed a look of sudden realization.

It turns out that this kid also has a heart of rebellion, deliberately neglecting No.3, such an unfair reward, I am afraid that everyone will feel resentment in his heart!
I thought... this kid is really as loyal as he says!
Sure enough, people in the Jianghu are treacherous!
