No one exchanged identity documents, no one snatched test papers, and no one framed or slandered us.
This government examination is destined to be fair, a true competition of talent and knowledge.
But it's also unfair to Xu Mo.
Not only the ailing body, but also the students from the same batch who entered the examination room together, most of them were between seventeen, eighteen, twenty-two or three years old.
They have been studying hard for more than ten years and have already mastered all the knowledge points.
They may have taken the government examination several times and are already familiar with what they will be tested on.
But Xu Mo had nothing.
At the age of twelve, he dragged his disabled body, carried a heavy promise, and used the knowledge accumulated with one hand to move forward indomitably.
The four younger brothers are all a little worried, wondering how the government examination will turn out.
Jiang Sheng was the only one who was extremely excited. When the family members of the students who were staying at the gate of Gongyuan gradually disappeared, she rushed over and hugged Zheng Ruqian's arms tightly. "Second brother, let's go get some goods quickly. Once the eldest brother gets the head of the government case, we will go back and sell it for money."
Zheng Ruqian, "..."
The idiot sister thought that the head of the government case was the eggplant and beans in Shilipu Village, and she picked it whenever she wanted.
How can this be.
But he did not shatter Jiang Sheng's longing. Instead, he looked at the other brothers and said, "The eldest brother has to take the exam for three days. We have nothing to do if we stay at the gate of Gongyuan. Why don't we look around."
Chang Yan and Wen Zhiyun have always been well-behaved little followers. Fang Heng nodded his head in a bamboo hat twice.
Anshui County is the core city of the entire county. Not to mention its prosperity, even the markets are divided into categories.
Those selling meat and vegetables are in one market, those selling clothes and shoes are in one market, and even those selling seasonings and dry goods have a separate area.
Whatever the people in Fucheng want to buy, they just need to choose the right market, and they can choose whatever they want.
But with this, competition also increases.
It's too expensive for you, so go buy it next door. If the quality next door is not good, I'll find another one.
Fortunately, Fucheng has express regulations that cannot fall below the lowest price. Otherwise, it will maliciously disrupt the market and seize the opportunity to hit the market.
Zheng Ruqian took his younger brother and sister around the Fucheng market and found that the things in Fucheng were expensive, but the quality was really good. Every piece of meat he picked was plum blossom, and the layers of pork belly were clearly textured, with different fat and thin shapes. Half, it is a rare product.
But no matter how well a pig is raised, there will always be unsightly meat, and there will always be a few pieces of meat that are too fat or too lean. Why can't you find any in the market?
Zheng Ruqian asked intently, but was afraid of running into a wall. He rolled his eyes and whispered something into Chang Yan's ear.
Finally, he patted the fifth brother on the shoulder and said, "You are good-looking. It's up to you."
Long banquet, "..."
Well, for the sake of my brother, I will betray my beauty.
Chang Yan, with a protruding face, stopped in front of the proprietress of a pork shop, and said gracefully, "Sister, can I ask you something?"
The proprietress was in her thirties, tall and thick, holding a piece of greasy pork in her hand. She said she could be a hostess, but she was a little unhappy when she was suddenly called sister.
But when she glanced at Chang Yan's fair cheeks and rosy mouth, she was stunned again, threw away the pork belly in her hand, and rubbed it on her apron repeatedly, "Little brother, what are you asking for?"
"The meat here is so beautiful, sister, with clear texture and fresh and red color." Chang Yan grinned, "It's just that the best meat from this pig is here, where did the other meat go?"
The proprietress was confused by the laughter, "Where else can I go? Either mix it into stuffing and make steamed buns, or sell it cheaply to the county and countryside."
"That's it. Thank you very much, sister." Chang Yan performed a standard court ceremony and Shi Shiran withdrew.
If he hadn't been wearing a big dusty coat, he would have thought it was a young lady from some family who came out to show sympathy for the people.
The proprietress stretched her neck until Chang Yan disappeared, then smacked her lips and went back to carve the pork.
Zheng Ruqian saw it from the corner and shook his head repeatedly, secretly hating God for being unfair.
If he also had a peerless face...
Then he should be working as a young master at the Actor Hall in Yihongyuan, Xieyang County, the kind of young master who sleeps during the day and works hard at night.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't hurt to be ugly.
Zheng Ruqian regained his composure and looked at Chang Yan with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, fifth brother. I will come back to you if I have such a thing in the future."
Chang Yan's mouth twitched and he said nothing.
Zheng Ruqian began to mutter about the leftover meat again, "If it's cheap enough, I can sell it from the capital city to the county town, that would be good."
Taxes are collected on goods entering Fucheng, but not on goods leaving Fucheng.
Unfortunately, it's April, and the warmer weather makes it impossible to store meat easily. A four- to five-day journey is enough to make a piece of fresh pork rot, deteriorate, and even produce maggots.
The brothers and sisters left the market and continued to wander on the street.
Zheng Ruqian's eyes are like rulers, measuring wherever he goes. When he sees a new thing, he wonders if he can sell it, take it away, and make money.
Jiang Sheng is happier, like a novel little rabbit, everything he sees is new and interesting.
Until they stopped in front of a Youranju.
Familiar plaque, unfamiliar building, unfamiliar second brother and shopkeeper.
Jiang Sheng later remembered that shopkeeper Bai had said that Youranju was a chain restaurant with businesses all over the country.
Xieyang County is just a small branch.
Just look at the big stores in Fucheng, with their splendid two-story buildings, beautifully carved buildings, and countless waiters walking back and forth in the store.
I just don’t know where Anshui County’s Youranju gets their food from, and whether they can cooperate.
Jiang Sheng was lost in thought when someone suddenly pushed her and told her to get out of the way.
Zheng Ruqian and his three brothers stood a little further away, but they were squeezed away. They did not grab the ground with both hands like Jiang Sheng and fell onto their feet.
Immediately afterwards, four or five maids came over, spreading their arms, blocking the rest of the crowd behind them, leaving only the spacious road in front of them exposed.
Jiang Sheng was still a little confused.
A sedan stopped at the door of Youranju.
The shopkeeper, who was doing the accounting, quickly pulled a few young men over and said with great respect, "Greetings to the third lady, please come to the private room for the third lady."
There was no movement in the sedan.
A maid came forward, respectfully opened the curtain, and stretched out her arms to act as a human frame.
Only then did a slender hand stretch out, put it on the maid's arm, and stretched out a foot to slowly step on the ground.
Jiang Sheng was lying on the ground, his eyes almost falling out.
The last time I saw Mr. Jiang's shoes in Xieyang County, they were already very luxurious. I didn't expect to open my eyes again today. Not only were these embroidered shoes embroidered with lifelike lotus leaves, but every drop of dew on the lotus leaves was actually... They are all decorated with dong beads.
When the shoes hit the ground, the complete hem of the skirt was revealed. The shiny silk fabric and the vivid lotus embroidery on it all showed the luxury and nobility of the owner.
Jiang Sheng swallowed hard, and all he could think about was: How much would it cost to exchange this for silver? If this were replaced by rice, how many beggars could be fed?
