Xiao He looked back and saw that he was a good friend, and smiled naturally, just like before.
Cao Shen came running over. He was out of breath, but he was smiling. He must have done well in the exam. When he came to Xiao He, he immediately stopped his smile and sighed: "It doesn't matter if I don't do well in the exam. I can't blame you. I blame you." Just blame that guy Li Zhao, he actually..."
Before Cao Shen could finish what he said, Xiao He interrupted, his face straightened and slightly sullen: "You are not allowed to slander the young master."
"This" Cao Shen can't speak anymore. He is just fighting for his brother's injustice. This reaction of his brother is a bit wrong. Shouldn't he agree and scold Li Zhao for a few words?
However, after a while, I figured out that my brother must be afraid of Li Zhao, so he didn't dare to show his complaints in front of others, and pretended to defend him at all times.
Brother, it’s hard!
"Brother, there is no need to embarrass yourself. I am here and will not speak to others. If you have any grievances, just speak out boldly! I am willing to be your listener."
Xiao He can no longer be punished by Cao Shen. If he has any grievances, it is only the young master's grievances. Indeed, the young master is too wronged.
"Brother, I'm not wronged. I just don't want you to slander the young master. The young master," he shed tears as he spoke.
Cao Shen was even more angry when he saw that Li Zhao had made his brother heartbroken, but his brother still defended him at all times, which was inappropriate.
He quickly stopped what Xiao He was about to say, "Brother, I understand, I understand. Just don't mention it! But you don't have to be too sad. If you fail the exam this time, there will be another time. I support you."
Xiao He heard this and really didn't know how to tell his friend, does he understand? What do you know? Do you understand the young master’s righteousness? He knew nothing, otherwise he wouldn't have slandered the young master just now.
Also, he failed the exam? How could it be possible? He had already memorized the young master's second book by heart. How could he fail the exam? He was still weighing whether he should be ranked first or second?
However, he didn't want to hurt his friend's self-esteem. You know, this brother's self-esteem is very strong. If he knew that he would be in the third list, I don't know if he would be able to accept it.
"Brother, let's not talk anymore. I have to rush back to serve the young master. If it's too late, the young master will be sad."
Yes, he had to rush back as soon as possible to comfort the young master. The young master was hurt too deeply by those people.
Cao Shen was speechless. My brother was so afraid of Li Zhao.
Why! Brother is useless.
"Oh, by the way! This is the second book. You must read more, it is very useful." Before leaving, Xiao He took out the second book from his backpack and handed it over.
As a brother, if you are successful in your studies, you can't let your brother fall behind. With this book, if you don't do well in the exam this time, you can still use it next time. Of course, if you pass the exam like this, the two books will definitely make one of them soar to the sky. .
Xiao He had good intentions, but in Cao Shen's eyes he was so helpless.
After Xiao He left, he shook his head and sighed: "Brother, you straightened it out for Li Zhao. This is a miscellaneous book, what's the use of it?"
Without even looking at it, he threw the two books into his backpack.
As for Gao Qiu, after sending his son out, he immediately took out the second book his son had sealed, tied it up in large bundles, and moved it to the best wine shop in Xianyang.
He wants to sell these two books.
This is also the best solution. There are thousands of books, but he asked, and spent dozens of gold, which is half of the wealth of the Gao family!
Nowadays, the second book is a banned book. Not to mention selling it at a good price, I don’t know if anyone will buy it. This is bound to be a loss-making business, but I can’t just watch dozens of gold rot in my home.
Then, he came up with the idea of hawking in a wine shop. Some dignitaries were extremely rich. Even if they despised these two books, it was okay to buy them to decorate their homes.
After all, these two books look quite beautiful.
As for what is forbidden, dignitaries will not care.
Gao Fugui returned home triumphantly, and was about to show off in front of his father, letting his father know that he was not a prodigal, let alone uneducated, and that he would bring glory to his ancestors.
But as soon as I asked, I immediately became so angry that my old and immortal father actually sold all his two books. How disgusting and infuriating! Isn't this random?
Selling two books now would be a huge loss, the time has not come yet!
"Master, don't blame me. The Gao family cannot afford to be defeated!" The housekeeper spoke. He stood on the side of the master, and there was a hint of blame in his words.
Gao Fugui glared at the housekeeper and said angrily: "What do you know?"
He was running around with his head in his hands, as if he hated iron.
"A prodigal, a prodigal! Why did I give birth to such a father? No, I have to stop him, otherwise my Gao family will be completely ruined by that prodigal thing."
The rich man left in a hurry.
The housekeeper stood there with a look of astonishment on his face and said to himself: The young master is crazy, isn't he a prodigal? How did you become a master? Also, can he give birth to a master?
It's messed up, it's all messed up.
At Yuelai Restaurant, people were coming and going at the moment, all of them noble-dressed people. Perhaps because the imperial examination was over, the flow of people unexpectedly soared. In addition to elegant-speaking students, there were also high-ranking dignitaries.
It truly deserves to be the number one wine shop in Xianyang.
The decoration is luxurious and the guests are elegant, but there is also something ungrateful. In that corner, there is a man bending down and shouting at the crowd from time to time: "We sell miscellaneous books! Sell them at a loss, just five and a half taels!"
This person is Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu was able to put down his pretentiousness and come here to sell books. He really worked hard. There was nothing he could do! He couldn't just watch the prodigal son prodigal!
As a father, he must take practical actions to tell his son that this is the fate of a prodigal family.
There were piles of books piled next to Gao Qiu. There were servants taking care of them, but they were very leisurely. It was obvious at a glance that he would not be able to sell two books.
Looking at the noble people passing by, they didn't even dare to glance at Gao Qiu. Some of them would glance at the second book, and they soon showed their lack of interest.
As soon as Gao Fugui arrived, he saw his father and was very angry. This guy really embarrassed him. Moreover, five and a half liang? You must know that he spent dozens and a half taels of money to buy a copy!
Prodigal, too prodigal.
He was about to scold his father loudly, but was stopped by a very sarcastic voice next to him.
"Hey! Isn't this rich and noble? What? You knew you were going to fail, so why did you come here to get drunk? How pitiful!"
Gao Fugui followed the reputation, but it was Mr. Shen, and the words were spoken by his admirers.
"If the ivory comes out of the dog's mouth, go ahead!"
"You, what did you say?" Several people stood up, looking angry.
Gao Fugui didn't give a good look to the others and didn't bother to pay attention. He went straight to his father, asked his father to stop shouting, and ordered his servants to quickly put away the two books.
"You brat, what are you going to do? You've ruined your family and you can't let me clean up the mess?" Gao Qiu was furious when he saw his son's unrepentant behavior.
Yes, he is angry and resentful.
If his son hadn't been a prodigal, would he have lowered his arrogance and come here to make people laugh? Will you be criticized? You know, he belongs to the young master!
Gao Fugui was scolded, but he was not angry and said: "Old man, do you really not believe in your son? Don't be afraid, this is not the endgame, but the victory. Soon you will know how rare these two books are."
"These two books are rare? Hehe!"
These words were not said by Gao Qiu, but by Mr. Shen.
Gao Fugui was too arrogant just now, and it was not the first time, but the third time. No matter how well-educated he was, he couldn't bear it anymore. He was the son of one of the Nine Lords! No matter where it is, it will not be lifted high by others, but it will be ineffective when it comes to Gao Fugui.
He can't hold back his face.
"Gao Fugui, Gao Fugui, although your name is Fugui, you are a fool. How can this miscellaneous book be rare even though it has been banned? I have to say that I doubt your IQ."
