Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 195 These two guys are fighting again
"I wish my master won!"

"What? I hit it?"

Zhu Zhishan looked at the third son in a daze, and then at Qin Shao.

"You said the master has won?"

Qin Shao also found it incredible.

According to the historical trajectory, the old man Zhu did not win.

Could it be that something has changed?
"Yes, I wish my master won, the 17th in the top three!"

The third son said loudly.

"Did I hit? Did I hit?"

Zhu Zhishan is still not convinced.

"Can you see the list clearly?"

Qin Shao also didn't quite believe it. History didn't seem to be like this.

"I read it, I read it several times, Brother Wang Yin, and Mr. Zhang also saw it, and... and Master Zhu's family, they also saw it. They... They are all on the way and will be here in a while!"

They didn't believe it, which made Xiao Sanzi a little dissatisfied.

Try to prove that what you say is true.

"Then... did Mr. Zhang win the prize?"

Qin Shao is very happy, it seems that this historical track may have changed.

"Master! Master!"

Qin Shao just wanted to ask Zhang Cong how he did in the exam, wondering if his fate was different from history.

A cry sounded.

He turned around and saw Master Zhu's expression changed slightly, and he was about to fall to the ground as soon as his body softened.

Qin Shao and Xiaosanzi had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and hurried forward to support him.

"Quick! Quick! Bring out a bowl of sugar water."

Han Jinrong told the woman beside her.

Sugar water was brought over.

Qin Shao poured some sugar water for Mr. Zhu, and he slowly recovered.

"Ziming, did I really pass the exam?"

Zhu Zhishan came to his senses and asked again.

"Master, you passed the exam! You really passed the exam! Your dream in this life has come true."

Qin Shao was also a little excited.

I am very happy for my wife.

This old man's life is really not easy.

After Zhu Zhishan got better, Qin Shao asked about the situation of his third son, Zhang Cong.

I found out that he was really not on the list this time.

"Although Mr. Zhang was a little disappointed, he was in a good state of mind. He said he would wait another year and continue to fight. Brother Wang Yin was worried about him, so he came back with him. I knew you were in a hurry, so I came back to report first."

The third son explained.

Knowing that Zhang Cong failed the ranking, Zhu Zhishan's joyful mood turned slightly disappointed.

"How is my son wishing you for continuing the exam?"

Zhu Zhishan suddenly asked about his son's situation.

Qin Shao remembered the exam that Zhu Zhishan and his son took together.

"Young master Zhu also failed the ranking this time! But he, your boy, and Mr. Zhang are all together, and they said that they will come to pick you up later."

Continuing to fail?
Qin Shao was a little stunned.

According to the original historical trend, it should be that Zhu Xu passed the exam, and the old man Zhu failed again.

His son has already passed the exam, but he has not passed the exam. The old man Zhu was discouraged and gave up the exam.

This exam is also his last exam.

Unexpectedly, the current situation will change at that time, and the situation of the husband and wife has been turned upside down.

When a flower blooms, there is a flower that loses!

Why!Good luck tricks people!

"Xu'er is still young, it won't be too late to take the exam next year!"

Zhu Zhishan was slightly disappointed for a moment, and said.

How many people have something to say.

The sound of carriages and footsteps came from outside.

Qin Shao and Han Jinrong stood up.

Wang Yin, Zhang Cong and Zhu Xu walked in one after another.

"Xizhe, congratulations, you got your wish!"

Zhang Cong walked over with great strides, with sincere blessings on his face, without any disappointment.

Qin Shao felt that this person had a strong psychological quality, no wonder he dared to challenge Yang Tinghe in the future.

"Bingyong, thank you! It's just luck! It's just luck! God thinks I'm old and has mercy on me. You and Xu'er are younger than me, and there will be chances in the future. When the time comes, you will definitely rank better than me!"

Zhu Zhishan was still a little weak, but he still stood up to greet Zhang Cong and the others.

"What you said is true! Fortune is in the future, and the dragon will go to heaven. Don't worry, sooner or later, I will realize my ambition of Lingyun."

Zhang Cong said with confidence.

Zhu Xu walked up and checked his father's physical condition.

Tell Qin Shao that someone at home will definitely come to deliver a letter in a while, and he will give Xiqian at that time, and he wants to take the old man back.

It was only then that Qin Shao remembered that candidates who will take the exam will register their addresses. Once they pass the exam, someone will go to their home to announce the good news, and they will also give some rewards at that time, just to make themselves happy.

Hastily asked Wang Yin and the others to prepare a car to send the old man Zhu and Xu Xu back.

As for Zhang Cong, even though he said he didn't care on the surface, how could he not be disappointed?
After many years of studying hard and failing the exam, no one will feel very good.

He is now living in the old man's house, if he goes back at this time, he will face so many congratulatory crowds, it will inevitably hurt his feelings.

Qin Shao asked him to live here temporarily.

Zhang Cong didn't hesitate, and agreed directly.

……

A few happy and a few sad!
There are those who return to their hometown depressed after landing, and those who are admitted to the exam are ecstatic and hold a banquet to celebrate.

In the past few days, many candidates who have passed the exam have booked private rooms in Jinghua Tea House to invite people to drink tea and watch a play.

The top three of the first class have come out!
There will be a palace test next.

Even if they can't take part in the imperial examination, those second- and third-class students still have to make a pilgrimage.

Being able to pass the exam is a great joy, and many people naturally have to wait until the palace exam is over before going back.

And the second big happy event!
In the entertainment venues in Beijing these days, some middle-ranked movers can be called generous.

Among them, a student named Xia Yan passed the No. 3 in the second class.

He directly booked the private room on the second floor of Jinghua, and invited his son to drink tea and watch "The Case of Guillotine Beauty" together.

Yes, "The Case of Guillotine Beauty" is still in public performances.

Qin Shao originally thought that after two weeks of acting, he could proceed to the next story "The Civet Cat for the Prince".

Unexpectedly, the voice was so loud that many people who hadn't watched it in Beijing would continue to watch it.

Nowadays, going to Beijing is proud of watching "The Case of Beauty".

Some people even brushed it twice or three times.

If someone gives money, the person who comes is the guest.

Of course, Qin Shao welcomes such generous and rich people.

In order not to affect those who bought tickets to watch the show, an extra performance was added directly.

Shangjing is really different from other places.

Even if it's just a teahouse (the bookstore is just a foil now, even if some people visit and browse every day, and occasionally sell some, the money earned is basically better than nothing), the turnover is really high.

"Master, this turnover is basically equivalent to the sum of the turnover of our activities in the two grain and oil stores in Anlu Prefecture. The people in Shangjing are really rich."

Han Jinrong said while doing calculations.

The current accounts are sorted out by Han Jinrong and Su Jin.

"That's right! My lady, you don't know that Liangzi who serves tea is in charge of the box, and there are many rewards every day!"

Su Jin said enviously.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! It's not good, there's a fight outside!"

The boy serving tea outside suddenly shouted at the door.

There are still people making trouble in their own territory. Could it be that they deliberately disrupted the situation?

Qin Shao had considered a few days ago that he had no relatives or reason in Shangjing.

It is easy to attract people's envy if the business is so eye-catching, and maybe something will happen.

This is also the reason why he deliberately lured Zhu Houzhao to his tea house to watch a play.

A few days ago, Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Bin frequently came and went here, and Lin Tong, Wang Yun and others also appeared in official clothes.

I didn't expect that someone would dare to make trouble here.

When Qin Shao went out, he saw Wang Yin and Xiao Sanzi maintaining order.

It was said to be a fight, but in fact there were only two people fighting, and there were only spectators around.

When Qin Shao saw the two fighting, he was even more confused!
Why are Xia Yan and Zhang Cong fighting again?
Earlier, Qin Shao heard that Xia Yan, a middle-ranked candidate, had contracted this event. He felt familiar, so he didn't get up for a while.

Isn't this the Xia Yan who fought with Zhang Cong earlier?
Why are these two fighting again?
However, there were only two scholars fighting, and Qin Shao had seen the force value of these two people before.

After hitting him a few times, he was pulled away by Wang Yin and the others.

Xia Yan was dragged to the box by those candidates.

"Master, why are you at odds with that Xia Yan again?"

Qin Shao was a little helpless.

Zhang Cong failed the ranking and lived in Qin Shao's house these days, always teaching Qin Shao to study.

He originally wanted to go back to his hometown, and come back to take part in the examination in the next year.

Qin Shao believes that there will be a rural examination next year, and he should take the examination in February of the following year. If he wants to come to Beijing, he will probably come in the second half of next year.

Back and forth are delayed on the road.

It is suggested that he might as well live in his own home and go back after the next year's scientific examination.

He knew that Zhang Cong wanted to save face, so he directly hired him to be his wife part-time.

Zhang Cong was upright. After inspecting Qin Shao's study situation, he felt that he could teach him limited content for the provincial examination, so he only agreed to give him free guidance.

The book shop also needs people, so Qin Shao simply suggested that Zhang Cong go over and help out occasionally.

Zhang Cong reluctantly agreed to stay when he heard that there was real work to do.

Yesterday, Zhang Cong said that there was a treat from his classmates, and he would go to attend today.

Unexpectedly, it was Xia Yan who invited him.

One dares to invite, and the other dares to participate!
These two are really good enough!
"It's amazing that kid passed the exam! I will pass the exam in two years, he's just luckier than me, what a thing!"

Zhang Cong cursed.

Qin Shao was speechless.

Even though Zhang Cong has a bit of a tough personality, there is no problem with basic communication. I don't know why the two always fight when they meet Xia Yan.

These two people really don't fit in with the aura!

The two often fight, Qin Shao has heard about it, and it is not surprising.

Qin Shao thought this was just an episode, so it was fine.

Unexpectedly, at noon the next day, Qin Shao was resting at home.

There was a knock on the door.

"Master, a person surnamed Xia said he came to see you."

Han Jinrong said outside the door.

Both Xiaosanzi and Wang Yin are helping out at the tea house.

After these days are on the right track, he starts to read at home.

After all, the township examination will be held in August next year.

It's already April.

Qin Shao got up.

When I opened the door, I saw a person standing outside the door, his face was full of anger.

"Xia... Mr. Xia?"

It turned out to be Xia Yan.

"You...you are Qin Shao, the owner of that Jinghua Teahouse?"

"I'm!"

Qin Shao nodded in agreement and beckoned him to come in.

Although Xia Yan saw Zhang Cong, the two of them looked like cockfighting chickens, but outsiders such as him looked polite.

Qin Shao was sure that he didn't come here deliberately to find trouble, so he called him in to the study.

"I've heard of Mr. Xie's name earlier, but I haven't visited him before. I don't know what business I need today!"

Even though the other party looked furious, he was still polite. Qin Shao knew that Xia Yan was an upright person in history.

"Hmph! If brother Xi Zhe hadn't told me, it would be really hard to find you! You've heard of my name? Did you hear that I was insulted by that Zhang Cong?"

Xia Yan said with a flushed face.

"Sir, I don't know what you mean...you and Mr. Zhang Cong are both my seniors, and you are also a distinguished guest of our Jinghua Teahouse..."

"Huh! You all treat distinguished guests like this? You actually helped that Zhang Cong print these insults on me. If Xi Zhe didn't say that this is not your style, you are a fair person. I... I will directly trouble you. Square..."

Xia Yan directly threw out a printed article to Qin Shao.

When Qin Shao saw the above article, he was immediately stunned!

This... This one is too cruel!
It turned out that after the two men left after fighting, Xia Yan actually wrote a poem on the tea table, specifically mocking Zhang Cong's failure.

This man is real!

If you pass the exam, just pretend to be magnanimous and show off.

It's really unnecessary to add insult to injury.

If you say that Xia Yan is also from a family of officials and eunuchs, and his father is still the magistrate of Linqing, he can also be regarded as a son of a family.

It's just that he is stubborn and doesn't know how to be flexible.

When they met Zhang Cong, who was also upright and did not turn around, the two naturally clashed endlessly.

Zhang Cong is not the one who suffers, I heard that Xia Yan wrote poems to satirize himself.

He directly wrote an article about recovering Xia Yan.

Anyway, it was about how mean and shameless Xia Yan was, and even Xia Yan wrote about his romantic affairs that he was afraid of his wife chasing Goulan's wife.

Now this article has spread in the streets and alleys.

Zhang Cong is really bad enough, not only wrote the article, but also printed hundreds of copies of this article in the printing room of their bookstore, and distributed it to people around the teahouse.

As a result, most of the circle of scholars in Shanghai almost knew about it.

This matter is neither big nor small.

It's not a big deal, but scholars have always been romantic, and many people are not clean.

To put it bluntly, if this matter is not explained clearly, it will be known that the two are teasing each other, and if it spreads, it will not be good for Xia Yan's reputation.

After all, it hasn't been long since he just passed the Jinshi exam.

"Mr. Xia, you said this...it's your personal grievances..."

Qin Shao was speechless.

These two fight, they are the disaster of the fish.

"You bookstores help him print his bad articles, and I want to chase him down to expose him, and you print them for me too. I don't believe I can't beat Zhang Cong."

Xia Yan said directly.

"You...you also want to write articles for distribution?"

"Naturally, tell me! How much is it? I have already written it, and I will print it for me today, and I will distribute it in your teahouse, and I will also make Zhang Cong famous!"

Xia Yan said boldly.

Pay back the money?
This……

He suddenly thought of a good idea.
