I came to the world of the heavens

Detective Lin quickly satirized Chen Shishi, a stinky scholar who could not pass the exam, and left contentedly.Chen Chushi sat at the booth and stared at his back in a daze.

Earlier, the boss thought that Chen Shishi was upset, so he hurriedly took a steamed bun and put it in a small bowl in front of him, saying, "Scholar, you are very born, you should not be from our county, don't be angry, arrester Lin is a member of the government, and he has two mouths, right and wrong are all in his mouth, we poor people can't fight against him."

Chen Shishi smiled and said, "You're right. If I come back after the examination, wouldn't it be enough for him?"

The boss smiled wryly and said, "You scholars like to dream of this kind of dream of reaching the sky in one step. I have seen many scholars say this, whether they are from the county or out of town, but in the end, the highest is just a Juren. Don't get excited when you hear the word 'juren'. The scholars here have spent a lot of money to get on the list!"

Chen Shi did not speak at first.

The boss said in the tone of a person who has experienced it: "Ordinary people have a high reputation for being admitted as a scholar. In the future, setting up a stall to write letters and couplets is already very good. It is even better to work as an accountant or a teacher in a private school. As for continuing to take the exam and become an official, don't even think about it. Official careers are reserved for the children of powerful families!

You go to the merit test, thinking that your failure in the test is due to your ability. "

When he said this, seeing that Chen Shishi didn't reply, he realized how much impact these things would have on a scholar.The reason why he knew these things was that those yamen catchers often came over to eat and drink, and he just overheard them chatting after dinner.

On the surface, Chen Shishi is a scholar. He arched his hands together: "I believe that everything depends on man's efforts, and God rewards hard work. Even a poor family can stand out..."

The boss sneered: "The poor family does not refer to ordinary people with muddy legs like us, but refers to the once wealthy and famous families who have fallen from the family background. They are a little worse, but even so, they are much better than us."

Chen Chushi put out a few copper coins on the table, picked up the steamed buns in the bowl, and gnawed: "Thank you, boss, for clarifying the confusion!"

It's rare for the boss to have the opportunity to complain about such things. It's cool, but it's also equivalent to ruining someone's dream. He said with some embarrassment: "Scholar, this soy milk steamed bun is my treat..."

Chen Chushi had already got up and walked away, shaking his hands with his back to the boss.

The boss's breakfast shop belongs to a "family business". He has been setting up the stall for more than 30 years. He has met all kinds of people, and he can naturally see that Chen Shishi has a temperament that ordinary people don't have.He picked up the copper coins on the booth one by one, put them into the clay pot, and said with a sigh: "In this world, we only talk about money. Without money, it is difficult to move..."

Chen Shishi returned to Old Man Fan's house.

Pushing the courtyard door open, he frowned suddenly. Old man Fan was sitting on a stone in the compound, and beside him stood two men in yamen uniforms, staring at old man Fan and saying something.

When Chen Shishi walked in, he saw one of the messengers coming over and looked him up and down: "Scholar, the Temple of the City God in Zichuan County was set on fire by thieves. The county master plans to rebuild the Temple of the City God for the long-term peace of our county. Every household and person needs to raise two copper coins, which is two taels of silver. Please pay the money quickly."

Chen Shishi looked at the messenger and said, "Master, I'm not from Zichuan County, I just passed by and lived for a while."

He had just demolished the Town God's Temple last night, and at dawn in the morning, even before the morning passed, the county lord had already come up with an idea to get the money, which is really great.

The messenger sneered with the booklet in his hand and said, "As long as you step on the land of our Zichuan County, you will contribute to Zichuan County! If you don't want to pay, I suspect that you are a spy sent by the northern grassland. After all, only spies don't care whether my Daqian dynasty can flourish..."

When he said this, the policeman standing next to old man Fan chuckled, took off the rusty iron chain from his waist, and walked over: "Then go to the county jail and stay awake for a few days!"

When they sang together, they all sang bad faces, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The old Fantou, who was as immobile as a statue, suddenly raised his head and said, "Hand it up, we'll pay it all, and I'll pay his share too!"

Chen Shishi was stunned. He had been with Lao Fantou for more than a month. Apart from his eccentric temper, he was also a person who valued money very much. If he could spend as little as possible, he tried to save as much as possible, and he didn't know what to do.

Two taels of silver are two copper coins. According to Chen Chuchu's daily consumption on the street, the purchasing power of copper coins is quite high. The usual copper coins are 800 pieces, which is similar to the purchasing power of more than 600 yuan in the real world.The county master forced the people to crowdfund the money for rebuilding the Town God's Temple, that is, each household and each person must pay more than [-] yuan...

The two policemen came for half an hour, and tortured old man Fan for half an hour, only to see that he refused to accept soft and hard, and had the attitude of squatting in a cell!They didn't dare to really lock old man Fan in, the reason is very simple, the county government is always a county government, so if an old man is locked in, it is difficult to directly punish him for a crime?If you don't kill them, you can't starve to death even if you are locked up. Doesn't it take a lot of effort to cook wild vegetable soup?What a waste of time...

The policeman holding the iron chain smiled and said: "You are so old, our brother's lips are almost worn out, you can't hold out a single copper coin, and you have to pay double when this scholar comes. To be honest, it must be a wild seed planted when you were young, right?"

Old man Fan has a strong personality, but today he was very abnormal. Instead of fighting with the two policemen, he stood up and walked slowly into the room. When he came out again, he took a small package and put it on the stone: "It's nothing to do with us!"

The messenger opened it and found that there were large and small pieces of silver in the package. They actually carried a steelyard with them, and weighed the pieces of silver in the scale for a while: "Barely counting two or two, old man Fan, you are smart! Let's go!" They walked away and went to the neighbor's house next door...

Chen Shishi silently watched them leave.

People like this, if they were in the wilderness, would be two charred bodies at the moment, but they can't do anything now, because this is old man Fan's house...

After giving the two taels of silver, old man Fan didn't say anything, he still sat on the rock and watched his rape flower Chen Shishi walk over and bowed deeply: "Old Fan, thank you for your help, I will return the money to you as soon as possible."

Old man Fan seemed to be suffering from dementia again. He stared at the rapeseed without moving, and murmured, "My sister, there is no water in the water tank. My vegetables are going to dry out..."

Chen Shishi was stunned for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "Wait, I'll fetch water right away!"
