Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

Xie Shan took Cui Xie straight to the door. There was Tao Zeng wrapped in his car. It was something that was afraid of falling and moving. When he reached the door of his house, Cui Xie got out of the car and watched people open the door, unload the threshold, and drove the car into his yard.

After Cui Liangdong ran with the car, two other shopkeepers also came in to help him move things. Cui Xie suspected that they were old and weak, and feared that they would break his wine retort, he waved back at the three of them, saying: "You can stay away, I will move it myself."

The bottom part of the boiled pot is covered with a basket made of soft thatch. The bottom of the arc is flattened by straw ropes, and the bottom is a wide futon-shaped round bottom. Two ears are pierced from the left and right sides of the retort mouth, and the car can be lifted off with a light lift. It is stable and stable on the ground without fear of tipping. The upper part of the retort cover used to hold cold water to cool down is also made of straw with the same thick sleeve, and the long drip tube is wrapped in copper to prevent it from being bumped. The outer part is not only wrapped in straw, but also stuffed with thick cotton, and the outermost part is held in a slender brown bamboo basket.

Xie Shanyuan wanted to take it out for him. Seeing that he took things down so graciously, and refused to borrow other people's posture, he shrank back. When he took the wine container, he asked someone to move out of the small wine jar, holding the horse in his hand, and said, "Since Mr. Cui is home, he should also go back and take his life. In the middle of the month, I also hope that he will spare time to sit down and sit down. We adults must wait at home."

He also asked why Xie Qianhu got drunk when I see you next time. Is there really another time?

Cui Xie seemed to feel the scorching heat of the cloth on his shoulders, back of hands, and wrists when he was being practiced with the knife, and the feeling of holding the knife seemed to remain in his hands. He restrained and restrained before not going there. He smiled at Xie Shan and replied: "Thank you brother for your kindness, and I will definitely go to the house to harass in the future."

He said that he was ordered to take a drop of copper coins to comfort Xieshan's hard work during these two trips, and then asked him to sit in the front yard and send someone to the kitchen to get him food. Xie Shan looked at the style courtyard of Cui Mansion, and smiled unceremoniously. He took a few more glances in the courtyard and went back to learn from Xie Qianhu.

Cui Xie personally carried the set of wine retort back to the hospital, reluctant to fake it. Cui Liangdong and the two shopkeepers were vying to help him get things, but they couldn’t grab them, and they repeatedly persuaded: “How can the son take this thing by himself. Not to mention that the old lady and the old lady have to worry, and Cui Qi’s little brother will have to bury the injustice when he comes back. You are useless, you can't share your worries for the son."

Cui Xie steadily moved the wine container into the courtyard, and found a room to put it away, then looked at them, and said flatly: "Let’s talk, what happened to you? It can usually be seen that you are so diligent, it must be Was it the trouble that came to curry me?"

"The son's words really make the little ones feel ashamed. The little net worth and life are in the hands of the owner. To deceive the Lord is to deceive the sky, how dare you to deceive the son!"

Cui Liangdong looked embarrassed and frustrated. Cui Jinzhi relied on his satin shop and now has a big customer. He has a face in front of the son, rushing to complain: "Isn't the son telling us to deal with the old things in the Nanhuo store? How dare we do this? Laziness is all followed by the guys called the tents and Deli. After two days of selling, I found that the things in the store are rarely good, and most of them are old things that are two or three years old, or even five or six years old. It says that they are all top grades, but when you open the goods, you find that many of them are shoddy. The people who bought them are all familiar with them. Naturally, they refused to buy them, and asked us to lower the price."

Cui Ting was unwilling to say: "We see that this shop will not be cleaned after another ten days. We are afraid that it will delay the son's change of hands, so we will report to the son in a hurry."

Cui Xie glanced at him and Cui Jinzhi, and nodded slightly: "You are doing a good job, so you should tell me in time for this kind of thing. Later, you write it in the summary, and you will count your performance and add bonuses depending on the situation. Cui Liangdong...you You said you helped count the second-hand goods in the store, why didn't you report it at that time?"

Cui Liangdong said with a bitter face: "Small ones have to take care of the family's affairs. Although they can go to the store to take a few glances, they can't really stare at them. Besides, our goods are always old. , It’s not top-grade, but it’s one star and it’s not bad. If you sell it cheaply, someone will buy it..."

"What does it always mean?" Cui Xie glanced at him and asked in a cold voice, "Why are there old goods in the store, and there are still three or five years old? When Chen Niangzi was in charge of the store, did you dare to be so perfunctory? "

Cui Liangdong sighed: "It wasn't the case before. It's just that some of the things that people gave us are often sold in the store. Chen also has everything, but after all, there are new products to support. It's just that the old man had to choose an official a few days ago to make money. Qian sold good and decent goods to another group at a low price, and the master picked some gifts to Yunnan when he left..."

After Cui Dahui took office, he asked for money from his family and shoddy with the other, in order to slowly make up for the lost money.

If this is really interested in doing business, this family will be confused and dying.

Fortunately, these things came for nothing to Cui Xie. He only needs the storefront and yard, and he doesn’t care about the previous business conditions. He just said, “If this is the case, I won’t ship tomorrow. Testify, take out all the things in the store for inspection, pick up everything that is moldy or rotten, ask the neighborhood to look at them, and carry them out of the city and burn them. It is better to ask the store people to estimate the actual price and sell them at a 30% discount. It will be sold as many days as it is supposed to be, and the rest will be sent to the city sanatorium for the lonely elderly to eat."

It’s been a long time since these people are forcing him to hype.

He looked at the three of them with shocked faces, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I know you are reluctant. But I have found someone who will take over this shop. They must hand it over to the shop when they come over. Do this closely. Come out, otherwise the losses that are not sold will fall on you."

what! This shop has someone to take over?

The news is even more shocking than Choi Xie's giving a good Nanhuo to the poor. Cui Liangdong asked in surprise: "The son has already found someone to take over? In fact, two days ago, there was a head of the Ministry of Engineering that the master had handed over to this shop..."

Not to mention the director of the Ministry of Engineering, even the Ministry of Engineering is not easy to use. He had already written about the changed hands of Bai Qi, and he asked the old lady to play the hand model. Only after Cui Yuan and the treasurer of Ji brought the craftsmen, new books and book editions to Beijing, he could sign the contract and open his new bookstore.

He glanced at the three of them and said faintly: "I have already planned what to do with this shop. You don't need to think too much, and don't talk nonsense outside. As long as I do things my duty, I will not treat you badly, but if you want to Relying on outsiders to bully the owner, Cui Ming is your example."

The three of them remembered the end of Cui Ming's family, and their backs were suddenly covered with cold sweat.

At that time, Cui Xie was still in the countryside, and he dared to bring the second-in-charge affairs that was favored by the former wife into the yamen. Now he is the superintendent, who can't deal with him? Before handing them over to make plans and telling them to reorganize the shop, it was because he still read some old feelings and gave them a chance to change.

The three dared not think carefully in front of him, patted their chests and repeatedly promised: "I'm not waiting for the deceitful villain, and I must do well what the son confessed. If there is someone who is the next owner of the shop Come and stare, the young ones must work together with him to sell things quickly."

After they returned from Cui Xie, they couldn't help but muttered, "Isn't it the treasurer of the subtotal? Otherwise, why did the son call him come home last time?"

"At that time, the son was determined to sell which one? But at that time there was no five-year plan..."

"You don't want to think about the situation of our family!" Cui Liangdong slapped his palm: "He is so hard to ask the son for money, but our family can get the money. The son even sold the household items to make a hundred taels of silver. , Can you give it to him? Whose shop does he sell!"

The two shopkeepers looked at each other: "If the South Store is closed, I don't know who the guys who run south will be in, and what will happen to our two stores."

Without the tripod, the southern goods shop that has been holding the two shops for many years, the owners of the two shops, satin and powder, also secretly developed a sense of competition.

===================

Xie Ying didn't know that Cui's shop had made news again until the treat. He wants to invite his boss and colleagues to dinner, so he can't really use the old products, he just tells the cook to buy some when he gets home, so that people can see and joke for a while.

When he came back in the evening, the cook ran to confess that the shop was closed.

He frowned and asked, "Why is it closed? Does anyone dare to go there and make trouble, or is there something wrong with his goods and asked someone to come to the door?"

The cook grinned and said, "It's not that, but the young master of the family closed it himself. He said that he heard that the things in the store were not good. The owner became angry and asked the steward of the store to ask for the township agreement. The township deputy, Li Zheng, etc. accompanied them into the store to check the goods. Don't want the moldy and sour ones, and told them to be carried out of the city and burned! Today a bunch of people are chasing them!"

He shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the moldy stuff is actually nothing. For those who are not so particular about it, as long as they can be cheaper, they can buy it and cut it and eat it. But the owner doesn't care about silver, so he just burned it. ."

Xie Ying smiled and said to herself: "It really is what he can do."

The cook looked at Xie Ying not looking angry, and said: "If the lord wants other things from his house, they will have them again in a day or two. The little guy said that after they have cleaned up the moldy goods If it’s sold for a few days, if it’s sold for ten days, a new store owner will take over, and any leftover goods will be sent to the Sanatorium, so they can’t occupy the shop."

Running a library for people to read books, and donating the leftover goods to the Sanatorium, this is all one way of doing things, it can be seen that he is a man who pity the poor and cherish the old.

Even Xie Ying is not surprised that he wants to burn moldy goods. After all, he is such a person who posted all the weeks. He is afraid that someone will pick up moldy things and eat them, and get sick, right?

The cook was still nearby and asked him, "Will I go to his house to buy something in two days?"

Xie Ying nodded slightly: "You don't need to buy more." Shi Ji's lonely old man is also a merit. They scholars will try to enter the arena and be rewarded by Yinsi, so that he has the opportunity to accumulate more blessings.

Xie Ying paid close attention to his shop, and many people in the Imperial College also cared about his home. After all, in January, Guoxue only gave two buckets of eight liters of rice and a few liters of wheat and beans, and the rest was given as a treasure, and the new banknotes were not very well spent. It's rare to hear of a store that offers discounts, and many poor tributes are willing to take a few more steps to buy things there.

The news of Cui's South Store dealing with obsolete second-hand goods went around from the students, and then returned to Cui Xie's own ears.

He listened to the few people working safely according to their own words, feeling a little satisfied, and a little smile on their faces. The supervisor who was talking also sighed: "The owner of that shop is really conscientious. It sells cheaply and refuses to be shoddy. Those shops that sell things only polished and stuffed with rotten goods will see what he does. They should all be hanged. It’s a pity that the clearance period is too short to buy much of his stuff for a while. It would be nice to sell it like this every day."

Cui Xie told him to praise him too harshly, I am embarrassed to listen, and it is hard to say that he is the owner of that store, so he casually diverts the topic: "There are some places where things are sold, and the time for our review will be on this day. tomorrow. I’m going to repeat the lecture for two days in a row. I don’t know whose turn it is. I think we should endorse more and prepare to explain."

A supervising student who was talking to him also said: "Yes, the papers for the quiz at the end of the month should also be seen. I don't know when it will be posted outside the classroom. I am waiting to read it."

and many more! what! The Imperial College even posted examination papers?

He had heard that the most tragic way was the class rankings, the rankings of the grades, and the ranking was posted in the corridor. Later, because of the understanding of the students, the ranking was not announced to the public. The Imperial College actually posted the papers!

This also prevents people from living... Why didn't he stay in the county school desperately?

Choi Xie nervously pressed the table and asked, "Do you post everyone's papers? Those who failed the test..."

"Of course I won't post it." A young supervisor in his early thirties laughed: "They picked the best ones and posted them for the students to circulate and copy. They are usually Ye Xiong Tingjin, Cheng Xiheng, and Sun. Brother Youzhen... Several of the articles are the best. This year, Fei Jieyuan from Jiangxi fell to Guoxue and immediately became a famous person. Although he is young, he has excellent articles. He has a profound knowledge, and Fei Siye instructs him to read and write, and it is better to make appointments every time."

It turns out that it only posted the best, so he was relieved. Cui Xie sighed quietly, and echoed his classmates and said: "After those good articles are posted, I have to figure it out. If I read too many articles on Jie Yuan, I don't have to worry about jurying people."

As long as his articles will not be posted and executed publicly, he will be fearless. When he was relieved, his mind became more active, and he remembered that his own Ju'anzhai was a place where literati's books were published. If there is any good article, he can also discuss it with the author in person, and collect it to produce a collection of Guozijian essays.
