peasant girl

Chapter 440, If there is love in the heart (4 more

Chu Zhengrong and Long Yurong are going to end the next year, and they have to paint for the shop. The two of them paint a lot in a day. A few simple scribbles make a picture, and then write some words. Master Chu will frame it and sell it. It's not expensive, and there are quite a few people who buy it. In addition, there are seal names on it. I also know that the young owner of this shop will have an imperial examination in the coming year. In case of high school, the value of this painting will suddenly double, so the business is very good.

In addition to eating, sleeping, and reading, the two of them just write and draw. Chu Xuerui also took a small calligraphy for herself and drew a lot. However, the price of her paintings is much cheaper, but this is nothing, as long as it can be sold If you go out, you can earn money for your family.

One after another, there are also scholars from all over the world coming to consign and sell calligraphy and painting, and the price will not be too high. Master Chu is a kind person in business, and the commission he draws is not high. The business has only improved in a short period of time. Will come to buy, especially those wealthy businessmen in Xicheng, know that this is the shop of An Yibo's in-laws, and the painter is still An Yibo's eldest son-in-law. Who made the painting!
Master Chu is very busy, collecting paintings and settling accounts every day, waiting for those who came to consign calligraphy and painting to get money, and accepting their paintings by the way.

He is kind and kind, and he never underestimates the poor. These recruits also intend to make friends with Master Chu, and the most important thing is to curry favor with Uncle Anyi and even His Royal Highness Yi Wang.

Mr. Chu is busy with business matters, and the marriage can only be handled by Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu is really worried. She and Chu Xuerui prepare all kinds of things. They are all bought in Xicheng. The cost is not high, but it is not too expensive. Low.

The newly bought maid at home also needs to be trained, so as not to get busy and messy when the time comes.

Fortunately, Huang Momo and Wang Momo came to help with training and management, which saved Mrs. Chu a lot of work.

There were rumors in the capital again that Chu Zhengrong had been lying under the waiter of Jincheng. When Zhu Zhaodi heard the news, she immediately burst into tears.

After Xiao Zhu learned about it, she asked someone to investigate immediately, got up and went to Zhu Zhaodi's yard, seeing her red eyes, "Eldest sister?"

"Little you are here!"

"I'm coming to see you!"

Zhu Zhaodi sniffed, "You know?"

"Oh, I see!"

"I don't dislike him, I just feel sorry for him. These people are really hateful!"

Zhu Xiao nodded, she understood.

Rumors are all released by those who have a heart. It may be those who are more jealous, or it may be the Marquis of Jincheng, and they have not given up until now.

"Sister, you will encounter many such things in the future, and many people will talk about it in front of you and behind your back. You must be mentally prepared!"

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

Rumors like this come out because they want to hit Chu Zhengrong so that he can't enter the examination room properly.

Chu Zhengrong naturally heard the news. He put down the book in his hand, tidied it up, and went to the street again.

To be honest, there are very few people who know him, but many people are talking about Chu Zhengrong, the son of Yuelin County, who once lay under the waiter of Jincheng.

It's ridiculous that these people don't even know what he looks like, everything is just hearsay, but they spread rumors.

If he hadn't been scolded in the mountains for more than a year, he would have heard all kinds of bad words, and he would have already gotten used to it, and when these people talked about him, they were more sympathetic.

A young man, because he was good-looking, was taken back by the Marquis of Jincheng, and he might not be able to do so, so he was locked in a big prison...

He talked about everything. At first, Chu Zhengrong still had shadows in his heart. After walking for a while, he found that it was just like that. Maybe this is good. Only when he is named on the gold list can these people remember that the road ahead It may be difficult to walk, but he will not be afraid.

Perhaps it is good to have such an experience. His life was too smooth, and he cultivated his pride, but he forgot that in this world, sometimes you must bow your head properly.

Qianglong can't overwhelm local snakes, not to mention that there are many local snakes in Jincheng. In the capital, he is also considered a character.

It's a pity that it's a crooked way.

After this walk, Chu Zhengrong returned home, and Long Yurong knew that he had gone out, so he was in a hurry.

Seeing him coming back, he immediately stepped forward, "Where have you been?"

"Go outside for a walk!" Chu Zhengrong said lightly.

"Are you OK?"

"fine!"

Chu Zhengrong smiled at Long Yurong.

"It's okay, let me tell you..."

"It's really all right!" Long Yurong asked again.

Chu Zhengrong raised his hand and patted Long Yurong's shoulder, "What a big deal, they make such a fuss, but I feel that only the weak can let people spread rumors like this, why don't you talk about the bad aspects of His Highness Prince Yi? "

Because His Royal Highness Prince Yi is notoriously bad-tempered and has great power in his hands, who would dare to say that he is not good?

Even if he knew what kind of person he was, he didn't dare to say it, he would only talk about his good side.

So, it still needs to be strong enough.

"It's good if you can figure it out. In fact, it's just some people who don't want you to pass the imperial examination smoothly. It's just a joke. Only you get the title on the gold list. When the time comes, they will be slapped in the face!"

"Ok!"

Seeing that Chu Zhengrong really didn't seem to care, Long Yurong said, "I'm a little puzzled when I see this here, please help me to refer to it!"

"Okay, let's talk in the room!"

You must know the hardships of the imperial examination. The two are the hopes of the two families, so they spend more time studying. After Long Yurong was admitted to the Juren, he worked even harder and never dared to relax.

Now that I have Chu Zhengrong, a good teacher and helpful friend, and these isolated Tibetan studies, my knowledge has improved rapidly.

The two entered the room, took a sip of tea and ate some pastries before continuing to calm down and study.

If the rumor-monger knew that Chu Zhengrong had become more silent because of this incident, how would he feel?
I'm afraid I'm going to vomit blood.

The family members were worried about Chu Zhengrong, so he didn't respond. He should eat and sleep. Now he and Zhu Zhaodi can't meet each other. Even if they send books, Zhu Zhaodi sent them to Youfang.

You Fang was not very good at talking, so she came to give the book to Chu Zhengrong, blessed her body and then left. Chu Zhengrong didn't know where to start if she wanted to ask.

I can only continue to study in silence.

Zhu Zhaodi was worried about Chu Zhengrong, now that the two had settled down, it was difficult to meet, and Youfang was a fool, so she had to let Zhu Xiao go.

"Okay, I'll just go!"

Knowing that Zhu Xiao was coming, Chu Zhengrong and Long Yurong were very surprised, "Why are you here?" Long Yurong asked, after asking, he laughed first, and saluted Zhu Xiao, "When you came, father Let me say hello to you on his behalf!"

"What are you and me? Just call me Xiaoxiao. To be honest, I have to call you brother-in-law!" Zhu Xiao smiled.

Passed the prepared things to the two, "This is the blueprint from the Gongyuan, and the process, after reading it, burn it!"

"The other one is an article written by the top three in the past few years. If the last champion Yuan Zhao, I can still recommend it to you!" Zhu Xiao said softly.

Speaking of being in the capital for a long time, Yuan Zhao has been an official in the capital, and they are old friends, and she has never visited.

Yuan Zhao has never looked for her in the future, even his two younger sisters don't know if they are in the capital.

The events of that year have already passed, and she almost forgot about it. The shock when she saw the old lady's wife gradually faded away with time.

"That's great!" Long Yurong said hastily.

The champion of the previous session is now working in the Imperial Academy, and his knowledge is even more extensive. If he can get his advice, maybe...

"It's unnecessary!" Chu Zhengrong said softly.

Long Yurong looked at Chu Zhengrong in puzzlement, and Chu Zhengrong continued, "The invigilators are different every time, and the questions are also different. As long as we study well, even if we can't get in the top three, we will be the top three in the list. It’s okay to be famous!”

Long Yurong heard the words, and thought about it carefully, it was the same.

To be honest, each examiner has different preferences, and there is no way to cater to them. You can only work hard to do your own articles well.

"I think it's wrong!"

There is no shortcut to take the imperial examination, and there is only a steady step by step.

Zhu Xiaozao knew that Chu Zhengrong had great talent, but he didn't expect him to see it so clearly. He thought of Xun Muyang's sentence, if Chu Zhengrong took part in the imperial examination without accident in the last session, there would be no such thing as the number one scholar.

But this is also very good, Yuan Zhao is now flourishing in the Imperial Academy, and his future is limitless.

"Actually, this is pretty good. If you want to get to know each other, tell me, and I'll get someone to introduce you. If you don't need to know each other, just read books!" Zhu Xiaoxiao said, looking at Chu Zhengrong, "I Eldest sister heard the rumors outside and was very worried about you, so she specially asked me to come over to have a look, seeing you like this, I can go back to work with peace of mind!"

Chu Zhengrong pursed his lips, "Is your sister okay?"
