When An Yi came out of the alley, he happened to meet shopkeeper Hong and Hong Junxian coming out of the Yamen.
"Doctor Liu, please move and speak!" Shopkeeper Hong stepped forward and saluted Anyi.
Anyi took the stored carriage, nodded, and followed him into the grain store.
"Doctor Liu, you are really eloquent. The master of the town really likes our wise son and wants him to be the son-in-law of Chenglong. There is only one condition!" In the private room behind the food shop, shopkeeper Hong was full of words. He said with an embarrassed face.
"Should we wait until Mr. Hong is elected?" An Yi said quietly.
Hong Junxian has no family background, and Zhang Xinyue has now taken a fancy to Lie Yan. Naturally, he will not look down on Hong Junxian, a poor scholar. This year's provincial examination is Enke, which is an additional examination. In the fall, it will be the general examination. After the general examination, if If Hong Shixian is elected, then Hong Shixian will have the opportunity to become an official, so Zhang Zhang Xinyue probably proposed that Hong Junxian would not be willing to discuss the marriage until Hong Junxian was selected.
Shopkeeper Hong was startled and said quickly: "I really can't hide anything from you, Master. Master Liu, let me see, Xian'er may be a high school candidate?"
Shopkeeper Hong pulled Hong Junxian forward and looked at An Yi eagerly.
An Yi glanced at Hong Shixian and said, "He does have official status!"
Shopkeeper Hong's face was full of joy: "So, this marriage can happen?"
An Yi shook his head: "With official status, as for whether the marriage can be successful, it depends on his birth date!"
Shopkeeper Hong quickly reported his horoscope.
An Yi made some calculations and raised his eyes and said: "The year of marriage is the year of marriage. According to his horoscope, the year after tomorrow is the year of marriage. As for who to marry, it all depends on fate!"
Shopkeeper Hong calculated that if he won the election this fall, it would be the right time to talk about getting married. Why would it take until the year after next to get married?
Shopkeeper Hong wanted to ask more questions, but An Yi refused to say more. He just said: "I have revealed the secrets to him twice, which is enough. One more thing to remember is that destiny is like this, but if you slack off in studying because you know the secrets, your destiny will be It will also change!”
When Shopkeeper Hong heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent anymore, and quickly agreed, and asked Hong Junxian to go study quickly.
After Hong Junxian left, An Yi said to Shopkeeper Hong: "How has the price of food increased? It's time to sell the food I've hoarded!"
Shopkeeper Hong said with a smile: "Master Liu, it's true that you said it will rain continuously this month. I have always regretted not listening to your advice to stock up on food!"
An Yi smiled and asked, "How much has the price of food increased?"
Shopkeeper Hong showed An Yi the price of food today.
An Yi looked at the food price and was stunned, how could it be possible? Rains have continued this month, affecting several nearby towns. The wheat cannot mature at all. It has not been harvested in May. With such a big impact, the price of food will at least increase by half, if not double. Only now Only 20%!
"Actually, the price of grain did rise a lot at the beginning, but then hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain were shipped from nowhere, and the price fell back a little. Now people are not so anxious to sell grain! Please Liu Master, wait a moment, let me do the math!" Shopkeeper Hong said, crackling for a long time, then nodded and said, "If Master wants to clear out all the food he has hoarded now, he can earn a total of five taels of silver!"
An Yi frowned, only five taels of silver? Less than a quarter of her budget, how could this be possible?
Shopkeeper Hong saw that An Yi seemed dissatisfied and said quickly: "These five taels of silver are quite a lot. We are in the grain business all year round, and our annual profit is only a dozen taels of silver. Master Liu, you have made a profit in less than a month." It’s less than half of our regular life! If there is another opportunity like this in the future, Master Liu must tell me!"
