In the next more than a month, Master Xu led Wang Sheng and four others to teach students who were willing to learn policy theory and poetry.
Time flies by. To register for the Prefectural Examination, you do not need to go to Changle Prefecture in person. You only need to find the master in the county office ceremony room to sign up. The corresponding application list will be sent by the respective county to the prefecture city ceremony room.
The old village chief originally wanted to contact Wang Wenya and ask if he could let Kaozi from the same village stay for a while, but he couldn't get in touch.
The four of them, Wang Sheng, planned to rent a house together, so they set out for Changle Mansion seven days before the imperial examination. Wang Canhui relied on his excellent ability to read rankings and was personally designated by the village chief to accompany him.
"Sheng'er, you go to Fucheng, take good care of yourself and rest early."
Liu Zhaoxing's eyes were reluctant to be pressed down a little bit, and he came closer to Wang Sheng and said: " Mom will sew the money for you in the inner pocket of your clothes and the book bag. The book bag has three thousand gu of money for your pocket money, and the inner pocket has six taels. If it is not enough, you can find someone else to move it, and your mother will return it when you get home. ”
These nine taels are the family’s savings for more than half a year. Shopkeeper Cao sees that Liu Zhaoxing has become more skilled in recent years, and more and more orders have been assigned to her. More than two dollars.
Wang Sheng thought about this reason and wanted to take out the money from his inner pocket and return it to Liu Zhaoxing.
As soon as he made a move, Liu Zhaoxing grabbed Wang Sheng's hand.
Wang Sheng had no choice but to shout: "Mother."
"Sheng'er, listen to mother, there is a way for a poor family to get rich. Take this money and go to Changle Mansion There are so many places to spend money. If you don’t take this money, my mother will really feel uneasy."
Liu Zhaoxing helped Wang Sheng straighten his clothes and continued: "It's a pity that my mother can't go with you. I'm hungry. Remember to eat enough. Remember to take out new clothes when it’s hot. Wear more clothes when it’s cold. If you have any missing ones, go to Fucheng and buy them with money.”
“I understand, mother. "
Only then did Wang Sheng understand Liu Zhaoxing's intention, and all kinds of feelings in his heart turned into a sentence of knowing.
"Brother, I believe you."
Wang Jingjing stood aside and added, "I'm still waiting for my brother to come back and tell me a story. I haven't finished listening yet! Brother, you It will definitely work."
When Wang Sheng taught Wang Jingjing how to read, he would always use stories from later generations to tell some allusions. Occasionally, he would also talk to Wang Jingjing about fairy tales such as Sun Wukong.
After this back and forth, even if Wang Jingjing knew the words, she would come to Wang Sheng at a fixed time without the need for Wang Sheng to teach her. It's just that I haven't heard any new stories in the past six months. Wang Sheng is about to set off again, so it's inevitable that he will get involved.
/p>
"Mom! I'm so old, don't call me by my nickname anymore. My name is Wang Jingjing! Don't call meWang Daya! "
"I think you won't fight for three days and go to the house to uncover the tiles. Stop! "
Wang Sheng looked at the farce in front of him and smiled at each other.
"Let's go. "
Wang Wenqiu picked up the luggage in Wang Sheng's hand and went to the village entrance with Wang Sheng.
This carriage was rented in Qinghe Town.
Wang Sheng later learned that Wang Canhui worked in a craftsman's shop in the town. The people here not only knew how to repair cars, but they were also basically coachmen. He himself also walked from Qinghe Town to Changlefu. As long as he parked the carriage You can rent it from the craftsman's shop in Changle Mansion.
It is worth mentioning that the money needed to rent the carriage this time was also provided by the clan. Wang Sheng didn't know how much money it was, so he always paid for it. It took more than three hours to make two trips, which was not cheap. Wang Sheng thought as he ate the dry food in his hand. Wang Yi said sadly, "When will we arrive!" "
Before Wang Sheng could speak, Wang Canhui in front shouted.
"Xu-Fucheng is here!" Take out your road signs and wait for the Yamen officials to come forward to investigate. ”

After hearing the words, everyone led the way out.
After a while, Wang Sheng’s car arrived. In the carriage, the officials used water and fire sticks to open the curtains of the carriage, carefully counted the number of people, and checked the roads, and then they were able to enter Fucheng.
After entering Fucheng, Wang Yi was much more lively and lay down by the window to look at the scenery.
p>“Brother Sheng! Look there! So much fun. "
Wang Sheng and Wang Yi squeezed together at a window. Looking out, it turned out that a carriage was passing through the busy city. A strong man was on the high platform, performing a performance of breaking a big stone with his chest.
This Chuguo was really much more lively than the small town in Qinghe Town. Wang Sheng looked at it and was suddenly attracted by the bright light in front of him. He took a closer look and saw that it was a small vendor displaying glass beads. A large group of people surrounded him. Waiting to buy.
The carriage passed through the busy city and arrived at the craftsman's shop. Wang Sheng and the other three waited for Wang Canhui to hand over the carriage to the person in charge of the shop. Wang Canhui led the way to the Yaren's location and asked him to help look after it. House.
“Brother Zhao.
Just listen to Wang Canhui shouting, "Look if there are suitable short-term rental houses here. Let me see. My nephews are coming to Changle Mansion to take the government examination, and they have to be close to Gongyuan." Some. "
This Brother Zhao is short and thin, but has a smooth manner. He directly spread out the manual in his hand, searched for it and said: "I have three residences here. I don't know which one Brother Wang wants to rent. . "
"One is located in the east of the city. This is the closest to the Gongyuan. You have to pay twelve taels in seven days. This is also the place in recent times. In order to pay back the money, rich people have secretly asked people to come to the door. At most Can only be rented for one month. "
"One is located in the south of the city. It takes a quarter of an hour to walk from Gongyuan.This property is owned by Miss Yan, a famous prostitute in Huayue Tower, and this is the only house left to rent. "
"One is located in the north of the city. It takes two quarters of an hour to walk from Gongyuan. I pay 20 taels per month. This place was rented by the old scholar who went to Yongzhou some time ago and asked me to rent it before leaving. . "
After everyone discussed it, Wang Canhui came forward and said: "I also want to rent the east part of the city, but I am short of money. Brother Zhao, please take me to the south and north of the city." "
"Easy to talk about. "
Brother Zhao led the way and explained the rules of the two houses over and over again on the way: "The rental house in the south of the city is inevitably noisy in the busy city. Once the rent is decided, the rent cannot be canceled. There are two conditions in the north of the city. First, only scholars can be rented. Second, damaged items must be compensated at the original price. You can rent this place for one night only, and you will have to pay 100 cents to cancel the rent later. "
As he was talking, Yaren's location was not far from the house in the south of the city. He passed by the busy city and arrived within a few steps. It was really noisy here. You could hear it from a distance even if you were standing in the house. The sound of noise.
When Wang Canhui saw that it was so close to the downtown area, he immediately said before he could take out the key to unlock the door: "Brother Zhao, this place is too close to the downtown area, and I'm afraid it will affect my nephews' safety. I have been reading a book these days. It has only been here for a few years. Brother Zhao, please take us to the north of the city to have a look. "
Zhao Yaren led everyone for another three quarters of an hour before arriving at the north of the city.
Wang Sheng passed by the alley and couldn't help but look around. Most of the people living in the alley were ordinary people. , occasionally gathering together to talk about things without making any noise.
The door of this house seemed to be in disrepair and was very dilapidated. Wang Sheng watched Zhao Yaren open the door cautiously, and he was also surprised. Worrying about the quality of the courtyard gate. Everyone walked into the courtyard and found that the facilities in the house were very old. No wonder no one wanted to rent them.
It is worth mentioning that there are three rooms here. There is a temporary stove and a well in the courtyard, which can be said to be everything.
"Brother Zhao, look, can it be cheaper here? According to our friendship, I will send guests away next time. When I come to Fucheng, the first person I recommend to you must be Brother Zhao! "
Wang Canhui patted his chest to show his affirmation.
Zhao Yaren thought for a moment and said loudly: "I do this for Brother Wang's sake. Others come to see me. There is no such thing as a house. How about this? Just give me two hundred and fifty cash along with the deposit. When you check out, I will refund you five hundred cash. "
Wang Canhui turned around to discuss with everyone.
Wang Sheng suggested: "Brother Yan, Brother Jing and Brother Nie, I and I each paid more than 560 yuan. Let's go closer. I have to trouble Uncle Canhui to take care of him for a long time, and it is really difficult to ask Uncle Canhui to pay for the silver. ”
“That’s how it should be.” ”
Everyone agreed, collected the two taels of money, handed it over to Zhao Yaren, and got the key.
