Second spring

Qin Mingyuan stayed in his room for three whole days in a daze.

During these three days, his mind stopped functioning, he didn't know what he saw in his eyes, let alone what he ate.

Qin's mother also ignored him.

It wasn't until the early morning of the fourth day that Qin's mother brought Mother Qin, followed by two men and women who looked a year or two older than Qin Mingyuan, dressed as servants and maids, to Qin Mingyuan's room. .

Qin's mother glanced into the room indifferently, seeing her son's figure vaguely visible on the messy bed, she did not step in.Turning sideways, Qin's mother said to the two young servants: "There is the master you need to serve in the future. Go and clean him up, and then bring him to see me."

After all, Mother Qin turned around and went to Qin Mingyuan's study.She didn't touch anything in her son's study, she just sat down on the chair by the window.As soon as she sat still, the whole study seemed to come to a stillness with her, even the floating dust was quiet.

Once she sat, it lasted more than half an hour.

Finally, Qin Mingyuan, who seemed to have regained his sanity after freshening up, entered the room weakly, and knelt down in front of Qin's mother.

At this time, he was wearing an almost new navy blue satin gown, which was not eye-catching at first glance, but those who knew the goods could quickly recognize it: it was obviously a brand new dress, made old on purpose of.And the clothing material is not something that can be bought casually. Although it is not a top-level tribute, it is still very good.

It's just that Qin Mingyuan obviously doesn't know the goods.He didn't realize at all that this new piece of clothing was worth more than ten generations more than the clothes he usually wore.

Qin's mother raised her eyes slightly when she saw her, and did not comment on his behavior these past few days, but directly said: "Lin Shiqing returned home from the Gong Yuan last night. You should go to the Lin Mansion now to plead guilty. "

"Apologize?" Qin Mingyuan said.

Qin's mother said: "It is the crime of being confused by Shengjing's glitz and not being able to concentrate on your studies so that Lin Shiqing's failure in the imperial examination caused embarrassment to Lin Shiqing. Please give birth to the sin of muddle-headed thinking of trying to test the topic from Lin Yijia. It's not other people's crimes." Do you understand what crime you committed? You shouldn’t mention it, and you can’t even mention it. Do you know it!”

Qin Mingyuan shook his heavy head, and said in a low voice, "I see."

Qin's mother looked at Qin Mingyuan who was weak and weak, and there seemed to be another unknown fire in her heart.Her long fingernails dug into the palm of her hand, and the slight pain made her restrain her emotions, and said slowly: "Come out of this door, cheer me up! It's just a thing that gets knocked down after one failure. No People want to sympathize with you!"

Qin Mingyuan trembled, and answered "Yes" again.

"You go." Mother Qin waved her hand.

Qin Mingyuan kowtowed when he heard the words, got up and left his study backwards.At the door, he met Nanny Qin, who looked at him worriedly and distressedly, and said hello to him.

"I'm fine." Qin Mingyuan nodded.

He is only 15 years old.

Think about when he took the government examination last year.How many gray-haired scholars entered the arena.And those old students took the exam year after year.But he failed even one of the exams!

And I became a child at the age of 14!Try again in three years, only then!

It's just that even a nanny has distress in her eyes, but his mother never does!Qin Mingyuan couldn't help feeling a hint of ridicule in his heart.

"Ma'am, it's all for your own good, sir..." Nanny Qin explained in a low voice for Mother Qin.

"I know." Qin Mingyuan replied, and stepped away from Nanny Qin.The boy dressed as a servant followed him.

After he left, Nanny Qin entered the study.She persuaded Qin's mother who was sitting quietly on the chair: "Miss, you used to be good at persuading... Why can't you be more tactful with the young master? You are a real mother and son."

Qin's mother just didn't seem to hear Qin Nanny's words.Sit quietly.Nanny Qin had no choice but to stand aside with her head bowed, sighing inwardly.

Let's talk about Qin Mingyuan.

"What's your name?" Qin Mingyuan asked.

"Slave Qin Sanyuan." The boy's appearance was nothing more than ordinary, very inconspicuous.But when he spoke, just a few simple words, when spoken from his mouth, gave people a very comfortable feeling. "The slave turned out to be the second innkeeper of a store in the Tang family. He was familiar with the people in Shengjing, so the old lady asked him to come to the master."

To become the second shopkeeper at such a young age, it is obvious that this Qin Sanyuan is very capable.And he is an old man in Shengjing, so of course he must be very familiar with the nobles in Shengjing, big and small, to do business... He is the servant I need.

Compared with him, the original Qin Qi couldn't help him at all, and sometimes even held him back.

It's just that this Qin Sanyuan, from a beautiful second shopkeeper, has become a poor servant, doesn't he feel dissatisfied with himself in his heart?And Qin Mingyuan didn't know how to subdue this person, so he had no choice but to ask, "Which store is it?"

"Lanxing Pavilion."

Qin Mingyuan was silent.Lan Xing Pavilion is the only restaurant in Shengjing that can be compared with the invitation building - and it is also the one he has never set foot in.

Qin Mingyuan didn't speak, and Qin Sanyuan, who was a follower, didn't speak either.The two of them walked to the front yard in silence one after the other, and Qin Mingyuan spotted a new carriage parked beside the shadow wall at a glance.With Qin Mingyuan's not-so-bright eyesight, he could roughly tell that the carriage was made of some particularly heavy and precious wood. It didn't have too many decorations, it was just carved with simple cloud patterns, which was simple and grand.

There are also the two horses pulling the cart, tall and strong, with smooth fur, and they are stepping on their hooves leisurely.

"Master, please get in the car." Qin Sanyuan bent down and said.

Qin Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where did this carriage come from?"

Qin Sanyuan said: "Master Hui, this is naturally ordered by the old lady."

Such a carriage, plus these two tall horses... Even if Qin Mingyuan is a little unclear about the prices of these "expensive" things, he probably knows this set of outfits.It cannot be obtained without three 500 taels of silver.Maybe more, maybe even 1000 taels.

"Tell me about this carriage and this horse." Qin Mingyuan's voice suddenly became hoarse: "I believe you should have this kind of vision?"

Qin Sanyuan bent over, with neither pride nor modesty on his face, and said: "Master Hui, this carriage is entirely made of iron wood. Iron wood is only produced in the wild and wild areas of Yunnan Mountains, and its material is better than other woods. It is heavier, has better corrosion resistance, and is the most durable. Such a carriage is estimated by servants. The price of wood should be around 1000 taels. And because iron wood is extremely hard and difficult to carve, most craftsmen will charge 100 The production fee is [-] taels of silver."

Qin Mingyuan's eyelids twitched.

One thousand 100 taels of silver... It's a pity that he only had a few copper coins on him before Zhongju was 14 years old... Afterwards, although he saw the appearance of silver, most of the time, he only had 50 taels of silver on him...

"As for these two fine horses, they are not considered precious breeds..."

Hear this sentence.Qin Mingyuan felt relieved for some reason.

But then, Qin Sanyuan said again: "However, these two horses are in their prime, very healthy, and have a very docile personality. They can become good military horses with a little training. The military price. A horse like this , the price is around 50 taels of silver."

Two horses are 100 taels.

A set of carriages.That is 1000 two hundred taels.

Qin Mingyuan stepped into the carriage, opened the door, looked around the carriage, and thought to himself: I am afraid that the decoration of this carriage will cost several hundred taels of silver...

When did the Qin family become so rich!

Now that the Qin family is rich, what happened to those miserable days in the past!

Qin Mingyuan sat down in the carriage and pursed his lips.Asked: "What is the relationship between the old lady and the Tang family?"

It is impossible for so much money to be saved by my mother a day ago.If it is obtained from the Royal Tang family.That makes sense.But since they arrived in Shengjing, at the very beginning, his mother let him visit the Tang Mansion, and never let him go there again.Even, the mother herself never went back.

He has always believed that the relationship between the Tang family and the Qin family must not be close.Perhaps, in the case of the Qin family, the Tang family may have played some disgraceful role.Otherwise, as in-laws, the Qin family has all the property, and only orphans and widows are left, while the Tang family has not suffered any damage and has been living well?

If it looked, maybe it wasn't what he thought.

Only Qin Sanyuan said: "The relationship between the Qin family and the Tang family is of course very good. The old lady and the head of the Tang family are brothers and sisters."

But they are not direct siblings.

Mrs. Qin is the concubine daughter of the Tang family, but the current grand master of the Tang family is the concubine of the Tang family.Although Qin Mingyuan had never experienced it before, how could the relationship between the two be harmonious in the inner courtyard of everyone?So, all along, Qin's mother didn't take the initiative to let him go to the Tang family, so he never got close to the Tang family.

"The old lady said, if you ask, I will let the servant tell you. This sum of money comes from dividends from the shares she holds in Lanxing Pavilion..."

Shares in Lanxing Pavilion!

It was the shares of Lanxing Pavilion, which was making a lot of money every day. Even if there was only a small amount, it could make their family live a very good life!

"How much?" Qin Mingyuan's voice trembled slightly.

"Twenty percent."

Such light and fluffy words seemed to be dropped by two heavy hammers, causing his eyes to lose sight, and countless golden lights appeared in front of his eyes!

[-]%!How much silver should there be in that month!How much income should be earned in a year!

Qin Sanyuan didn't wait for Qin Mingyuan to ask this time, and took the initiative to speak out.He whispered but calmly said: "Although the Lanxing Pavilion is not as good as the Yaoyue Tower, the average monthly profit is about 3000 taels of silver, and about 12 taels of silver can be brought into the account a year. The old lady left Shengjing for 12 years, during which time the dividends are divided The text is not taken. After 680 years, the coexistence of silver is 10 taels of silver. A few days ago, Mother Qin went to Tang's house and asked for slaves and green radish, and a silver ticket of [-] taels."

10 taels!

Qin Mingyuan seemed to have gone numb.

At this moment, he suddenly and unconsciously imitated his mother: put his hands flat, his eyes looked at a position slightly lower in front of him, his face was expressionless, and he said nothing.

Of course, Qin Sanyuan stopped talking.He saluted Qin Mingyuan, sat in the carriage, shook the reins, and the carriage started to move slowly, out of Qin's house, out of the not-so-wide alley in front of Qin's house, and onto the street.

The carriage was flat and steady.

Sitting in such a carriage, Qin Mingyuan could hardly feel any bumps.

Finally arrived at Lin Mansion, Qin Mingyuan got off the carriage and asked Qin Sanyuan, "How many bank notes do you have now?"

"1000 taels." Qin Sanyuan did not hesitate.

Qin Mingyuan nodded, the corners of his mouth twitched, changing into a smiling face, his tight legs gradually became agile and flexible, and the more he walked, the more brisk he walked.Although, when the servants of the Lin Mansion saw him, they couldn't help but put away the festive smiles on their faces.

Lin Fu was not celebrating.

Of course, with such double happiness coming to the door, everyone in the Lin Mansion is of course elated.

Lin Shifei, who was only 16 years old, won the Jinshi; the talented Lin Jiakang, Young Master Lin, won the Jinshi; Mr. Lin's student, Song Jie, Young Master Song High School, won the top spot; Mr. Lin's second student also won the Jinshi!Only the third student of Mr. Lin, unfortunately failed the ranking...

It is almost impossible to guess what the servants of the Lin family will think.

Qin Mingyuan walked all the way into Wutong Courtyard.

Lin Shiqing was with her eldest nephew and two students.Song Jie needs to prepare for the imperial examination, and of course Lin Shiqing, the former number one scholar, needs to give some advice; Wei Chen needless to say has to take the Imperial Academy examination; and Lin Jiahan's ranking is not too high, and he is barely qualified to rely on and increase his experience ...

"You're here." Seeing Qin Mingyuan, Lin Shiqing couldn't help but look him up and down.Seeing that he was in good spirits, he nodded and said, "Here we are, just listen to it."

"is teacher."

Qin Mingyuan straightened up, walked to Lin Shiqing's side, and picked up the ink.The others all smiled at him, and Qin Mingyuan also smiled back.

Lin Shiqing continued: "Nanshan, you have enough literary talents. These years, you have not been limited to Shengjing, and you have a wide range of knowledge. I think you will be able to write good articles no matter what questions the emperor asks in the palace examination. But , this subject, you are not the only one who is outstanding..."

Lin Shiqing gave the lecture, and others occasionally asked some questions.

If there was something that needed to be written down, Qin Mingyuan took the initiative to write it down.

Time passed quickly, and the light in this well-lit study room dimmed in an instant.

Lin Shiqing looked up at the sky and said, "Okay, your foundations are solid enough on weekdays, so I'm not worried about you. Go back and prepare."

Song Jie and others bid farewell to Lin Shiqing.Of course Qin Mingyuan didn't leave.He walked up to Lin Shiqing with his head down, and knelt down silently: "Please punish me, teacher!"

"You know you're wrong?" Lin Shiqing said.

Qin Mingyuan said sadly: "Students did not control their minds on their studies. It is a big mistake! Students try to peek at the test questions, which is even more wrong! This time the failure of the exam is a blow to the students! If the students still don't know their mistakes, then they are really stupid It's time!" (To be continued.
