The lucky little girl of the Shoufu family

Chapter 75 Getting ready to go to Jinzhou City
"Golden State City?"

The morning sun was very soft, and He Xuanji was leaning on Xiaohu's back to bask in the sun, while Wang Tiezhu, Wang Daniu and his son were standing below, talking respectfully.

He Xuanji asked them where they sold pens, inks, papers and inkstones. She is now learning characters from Ning Yi, and she always writes on the dirt and feels that it is not a problem, so she wants to get some paper and pens.

But Wang Tiezhu said that pens, inks, papers and inkstones can no longer be bought in Qianniu Town, so he has to go to Jinzhou City?
How far is that?
He Xuanji doesn't want to leave her one-acre three-point land at the moment. God knows how many monsters and ghosts there are outside?
Seeing her dissatisfied expression, Wang Tiezhu just sighed.

"Xianggu, today's world is too chaotic, the future is bleak, many capable people have run away, who is still staying in Qianniu Town?
Only those of us who have no skills, wives, children and parents stick to one side, but those who need pens, inks, papers and inkstones are rich and noble families, and they have already left with those craftsmen who can make pens, inks, papers and inkstones! "

She also heard these words from the proprietresses of the showcases in the town that day, so she just pursed her lips.

"Xianggu, if you need it, you can go to Jinzhou City. The supplies there are much richer than Qianniu Town, and it's not very far away. It usually takes three hours on foot, and you can go back and forth in a day. If you have Xiaohu, it only takes less than an hour to go back and forth."

Wang Tiezhu made a gesture with his hand, but Xiaohu's eyes were resentful.

This bad old man is too bad, let him pull the cart again!
He Xuanji rested her chin, tapped the little tiger's back lightly with her little hand, thinking.

In fact, she really wanted to go to Jinzhou City to have a look. The last time she went to Qianniu Town, she didn't find this kind of formation stone. If she went to Jinzhou City, maybe she could find it?
"Also, Xiangu, let me tell you something exciting. Our cassava cakes are a novelty. Selling them in Qianniu Town is worse than selling them in Jinzhou City. There are many rich people there, and they cost fifty cents each." Somebody will pay for it!"

When Wang Tiezhu said this, his expression was a little distressed.

That day He Xuanji and the others took cassava cakes to the town to sell, and Liu's self-assessment wanted to open up the market and sell them for five cents each. When they came back, they were severely reprimanded by Wang Tiezhu, saying that a woman like her has a long-term vision like a man?
These days, food is made of gold, and you can’t sell too much. If you don’t buy it, someone else will buy it!

Wang Tiezhu felt that he lost a lot of money last time. If he could take it to Jinzhou City this time, he would definitely sell it for fifty cents each!
"How much tapioca have we made?"

He Xuanji's heart was also moved. After all, she is still a human being, not a god. Well, even a god has seven emotions and six desires. Otherwise, why would Zhinu go down to earth to find a cowherd?
He Xuanji also wants to dress herself up beautifully, eat well, drink well and dress well, who wants to be tattered all day long?
If you can go to Jinzhou City and make a fortune selling cassava cakes, and then buy some good things back, that would be great!
"Xianggu, what do you think...how is it?"

Wang Tiezhu's heart is also growing more and more these days, and he feels that it is time to go to Jinzhou City to fiddle with it and get some better things back.

Now that there is no shortage of water or food in the village, it would be nice to buy some exotic things for the wife and children, wouldn't it?
"Well, you go and prepare first, and let's go to Jinzhou City to have a look after a while!"

"Oh, good, Fairy is wise!"

Satisfied, Wang Tiezhu left. Not long after he left, Ning Yi rushed in with a few wild game in his hand.

"Yaoer, let's eat pigeon stew tonight! Look, I shot three pigeons!"

Ning Yi picked up a bunch of pigeons in his hand and showed He Xuanji.

He Xuanji nodded: "Okay, let's go... Hey, wait, Ning Yi, do you know Jinzhou City?"

"I know, what's the matter?"

"Tell me, I'm going to go back to Jinzhou City!"

"Well, why are you going to Jinzhou City?"

Just as Ning Yi was about to enter the firewood room to get pigeons, he immediately turned around when he heard that He Xuanji was going to Jinzhou City, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Aren't you going to buy something else? Besides, where there are many rich people in Jinzhou City, food is also easier to sell. If our cassava cakes are taken to Jinzhou City, they may sell for more money."

"Okay, wait a minute!"

Ning Yi put the pigeons in the corner of the firewood room, and went to the room to get a parchment.

"This is……"

He Xuanji watched him carefully spread out the sheepskin roll on the big bluestone bit by bit, wondering, what was painted on it crookedly?
"This is a map!" Ning Yi said, "Come and see, this is the location of our village, this is Jinzhou City, we have to go to Jinzhou City to pass this mountain, there are often bandits on this mountain, it is very dangerous , usually go together.”

He Xuanji nodded: "Well, don't worry, there is Xiaohu, who dares to play Xiaohu's idea?"

"Ouch-"

The praised Xiaohu immediately howled, very happy.

Ning Yi's dark eyes turned slightly, looked at the girl who was only a foot away from him, and whispered: "If you want to go, I will go with you later!"

"What are you going for?"

"Hmm... am I not fifteen years old? Let's see if I can take the imperial examination!"

Ning Yi couldn't find a good reason, so he just talked about it.

He didn't mean to worry about her, after all, Yao'er is so powerful, she should be fine, but he didn't want her to leave his field of vision, otherwise he would be very disturbed.

For him, the imperial examination is dispensable. After all, as he said last time, the imperial examination is very unfriendly to these humble children. The sons of the scholarly nobles were enlightened at the age of three, and they have the knowledge of Confucian professors. They won early at the starting line up.

It is too difficult for children from poor families who want to be promoted, less than one in a thousand.

"Oh, you are going to take the imperial examination? Then what did you take the exam first? Tongsheng?"

He Xuanji had seen the ancient imperial examination process when looking through the materials before, so she asked curiously.

"Well, let's take the test of Tongsheng first, and then go to the test of scholar." Ning Yi said with a smile, "Tongsheng takes the test a month earlier than Xiucai. If you pass the test, you can take the scholar's test immediately, and... now there are many disasters, I heard people say The past few years have been Ganke, so there is no need to wait for three years."

"Ah, can I take the exam every year?"

"That's right. In the past, only once every three years could I take part in the talent examination, but these years, it is held every year. I heard that they want to recruit some great talents who can govern the country."

"Hmm..." He Xuanji nodded, but was immediately puzzled again. She turned to look at him with bright eyes, "How do you know such details?"

"When I went to town a few months ago, I asked about it by the way."

"Oh, no wonder...a great talent in governing the country?" He Xuanji chuckled and shook her head lightly, "Why govern the country? Let's think about how to solve the drought problem first!"

Ning Yi's dark eyes were slightly condensed, noncommittal.

"Okay, I know, let's talk about it later!"

"Xiangnu, happy event, great happy event!"

At this moment, Wang Tiezhu went back and forth, running in panting, with excitement on his face.
