Red Mansion Reader

Chapter 83

The next day.

After Chen Heng got up, he followed everyone to the school as usual.Six or seven people walked in one place, their front and rear positions were different, and they looked very powerful.The classmates I met on the road greeted Chen Heng when they saw this group of people coming: "Brother."

Chen Heng and his friends have become accustomed to this.Since the number of children in the academy increased, Class A also had to implement the rule of those who are capable.

Regardless of how imposing Class A may sound, students in this class have to take one extra theory exam compared with other students in the sample exam every three months.Moreover, the papers written by them will be reviewed by Pei Huaizhen himself.

When Cui Youdao and Du Yunjing were around, they could still compete with Chen Heng for the first place in Class A.Now that the two of them have passed the examination of scholar one after another, it can be said that among Tongsheng, Chen Heng has already come out on top, and no one can hold his own.

Although it sounds a bit like being called the king among the monkeys.

Chen Heng laughed at himself, and nodded to another classmate who greeted him.

Walking into the school, Chen Heng's current position has been moved to the middle, next to Xue Biao.As for Jiang Yuanbai, Qian Dayou, and Xin Suzhao, they were all in the back row.Xue Biao and him are very envious.

There are more than 40 people in the hall, and more than 100 children are divided into three classes. Fortunately, Mei Shengjia is not in this class.Just as everyone sat down, the new Xuezheng from the academy also stepped in.

The visitor was about thirty years old, with a round waist and a thick back, a broad face, a square mouth, sword eyebrows and star eyes, a straight nose and cheeks.He is an out-and-out middle-aged handsome guy.

Xinxue was standing in front of the crowd, smiling before saying anything, glanced at the sleepy student, and wondered: "Did you sleep well last night?"

The students laughed, Xin Xuezheng was much more humorous than the previous one, and was quite famous among the students.

Someone stood up and replied, "Thinking of meeting Xuezheng today, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep."

This Xuezheng's surname was Jia, and because it was inappropriate to call him Jia Xuezheng, the students all called him Xuezheng directly.

"That's it," Jia Xuezheng smiled, pretending to be happy, "Since that's the case, I'll go tell you, Master Xu, and leave it to me tomorrow."

"You can't learn to be upright. We also want to see Master Xu." Immediately, someone raised his hand and shouted urgently, and everyone laughed immediately.

Seeing that Jia Xue was pointing himself with a smile, the student who had just spoken quickly stood up and apologized to his master.How could Jia Xuezheng care about this, he just raised his hand to let him sit down with peace of mind.

"Since you are in better spirits, let's start reading. Continue to read the part from yesterday."

Everyone promised, opened the book one after another, and began to shake their heads and recite.

Chen Heng also subtly withdrew his gaze. Others didn't know this new Xuezheng, but he knew him very well.

Xinxue's surname is Jia, his given name is Shifei, and his nickname is Yucun.A few years ago, when Jia Hua first came to the academy, Chen Heng didn't know that the other party was Jia Yucun.Chen Heng didn't know that the other party had such an nickname until he heard Master Xu call him Yucun one day. (Note 1)

But even sister Lin, he has seen.Just bumping into a Jiayu village, Chen Heng sighed: Yangzhou is so small.He didn't take this matter too seriously.

After an hour of morning reading, Chen Heng had to go to the lecture hall again.Today is not a history lecture, Shanzhang ordered Du Yunjing to come out according to the order, and told the students of Class A the way of policy theory.

Du Yunjing's speech was rigid and dry, far less vivid than Cui Youdao's before.Fortunately, each person only speaks for one day, one round every ten days.The new Tongsheng who came to Class A can pass as long as he endures.

Chen Heng was the one who listened most enthusiastically, because he would be the one who would talk about the policy ten days later.

He compared the teaching methods of Du Yunjing and Cui Youdao, hoping that he could absorb the strengths of the two and use them for himself.

When the paper is full, the get out of class is not far away.

Before eating at noon, Chen Hengshun walked around the Tiren Hall to look at the peach tree.Going to Lin's mansion now is like going back to his own home, and he doesn't need to bother with Zhihe Trust Letter to contact Sister Lin.

But every day to see the paper cranes fluttering under the peach tree, I will feel good.After Chen Hengduo took a look, he went back to his dormitory and prepared to go out for dinner with his classmates.

Now that there are many people in the academy, it is no longer required that everyone must stay in the academy to eat.As long as you are accompanied by a classmate who is over [-] years old, and go out for a meal at noon, the academy still allows it.

There was nothing to describe in the afternoon class. Chen Heng, a stinky chess player, had three victories and seven losses in the Go class.

This class is really evil. People with smart brains should also be very good at Go, right?
Xue Biao came back very early today. Seeing Chen Heng stepping in, the two nodded tacitly.After talking to Qian Dayou, the two left the academy in a hurry and headed towards the Huji library.

The weather in April is neither cold nor hot, very suitable for walking and relaxing.On the way, Chen Heng saw that Xue Biao was nervous and worried, so he dragged him along while watching the bustle of the street.It is the people with small bridges and flowing water, tourists ride lightly on horses, and hawkers boast along the street.

Walk all the way, look all the way, talk all the way.When I came to Hu Ji's library, the first person I saw was Hu Xiang.This man is Hu Yuan's second younger brother, who is only sixteen years old.I have studied for several years, and now I am learning how to manage the library with his brother.

Because Hu Yuan unearthed the strange book "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", he earned a great reputation for Hu Jishulou.The relatives of his host family have completely handed over the management of the Yangzhou library to him.I went to Suzhou and opened another Huji Bookstore.

As soon as Hu Xiang saw Chen Heng, he was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Chen, you are here. Please come in quickly, please come in quickly. My brother is resting in the room now, I will call him right now."

"There is work, there is work." Chen Heng arched his hands, walked into the tea room with a smile, and sat drinking tea with Xue Biao.

After a while, Hu Yuan, who had just washed up, opened the door and walked in with a smile.

"Brother Chen, have you written a new story and are you going to bring it to me?"

Hearing this, Chen Heng couldn't help but smiled wryly, and hurriedly waved his hands and said bluntly, "No, no. Brother Hu, let me rest for a while."

Hu Yuan could not help showing disappointment, but the enthusiasm on his face did not diminish.He only ordered the servants around him to bring another pot of good tea, and then sat down beside them.

In the past five years, Chen Heng has earned a few hundred taels from "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", and the Huji Bookstore, which occupies the bulk of it, will definitely not be less.

Don't look at a book of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" that only sells for more than a dozen articles, but there are so many people who buy it.

Moreover, when doing business, few people come to buy only one thing.Most people look left and right, and often buy other things to take away.

After going back and forth, no one knows how much Hu Jishulou made from it.However, their family sold all the houses on the left and right, and re-expanded the storefront, making people feel very grand when walking outside.

When the new tea was served, the three of them drank it lightly, and then turned the idle chatting to today's business.

After hearing Chen Heng's intentions clearly, Hu Yuan was also a little curious, and asked very puzzled: "How did Brother Chen think of doing this business?"

"Because no one did it." Chen Heng said frankly.

"The government allows us to do it?"

Chen Heng nodded, he had consulted Uncle Lin about this matter.From his mouth, I learned that the government expressly does not prohibit such things.

Lin Ruhai said: "As long as you pay taxes on time, don't talk about state affairs."

Keeping these two points in mind, the court encouraged the people to come up with new ways to make money.

Hu Yuan couldn't help but stood up, walked around the house a few times, still hesitatingly said: "Brother Chen, can you tell me more about your plan? That's it..."

"Newspaper." Chen Heng said the name with a smile.

"Yes, what is the difference between this newspaper and Dibao?"

　Note 1: The name and character of Jia Yucun are written out, but for the sake of everyone's reading experience.I think about it, in the future articles, I will still call him Jia Yucun directly.Just like Lin Hai, the word Ruhai, I write more like Lin Ruhai.

　　By the way, our first order in 24 hours is 3300.Two more chapters were added as agreed.Now it is 1/15. As a newcomer, I am very satisfied with this result, hahahaha, I hope that we can both break [-] on the day when the book is finished.
