Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 8
In fact, Wang Fu didn't understand the quality of wolf fur, but he couldn't act like he didn't understand.Anyway, he is not completely ignorant, and it is not wrong to choose some beautiful words to say.

Qin Chuan naturally agreed with this.

Wang Fu asked the housekeeper, "In terms of the market price, how much is a suitable price for such a wolf skin?"

As a scholar, he should not speak too much, he can tell the quality of wolf fur, but he doesn't have to be so clear about the price, otherwise he will appear philistine.

Of course, if Zheng Tu came here, Wang Fu would not have to care about this at all.

Qin Chuan is different. He can take the college examination at the age of 16, and it is only a matter of time before he is admitted to a scholar.

"20 taels."

Wang Fu clapped his hands and said, "Xiandi Qin and I hit it off right away, then add another ten taels. You take them to pay the bill, and Xiandi Qin and I go to the pavilion for a drink or two."

"No." The housekeeper took Wang Fu's order and took Zheng Tu and his wife who were waiting outside to the cashier to get the money.

When Qin Chuan saw that Wang Fu had increased the money, he didn't say anything to refuse, and followed Wang Fu to drink honestly.

Ten taels of silver is money that ordinary people may not be able to earn in a year, but for Wang Fu, the son of a rich family, it is naturally nothing.

What's more, this transaction also includes Zheng Tu's shares.

Knowing the white and keeping the black is also his style of acting.

Wang Fu's family is a large family with an inner house and an outer courtyard.The pavilion where Qin Chuan was invited to drink was in the outer courtyard, surrounded by pools and rockeries.

Now it is the beginning of August, Lingzhou Prefecture is in the south near the sea, and the summer has just passed. This situation corresponds to a poem:

Lili Shuyun scattered, and a cool breeze was blowing.

Wang Fu took out a jar of peach blossom wine, and asked his servants to prepare lamb.

Ying Ning and the book case were by the side of the pavilion, the little girl was not making any noise, looking at the lotus in the pond, her expression was quite cheerful.

Wang Fu said embarrassingly: "Brother Qin Xian, I have studied hard these few days and sent all the maidservants to the old man's side. Otherwise, I will definitely find a maidservant to help you take care of the children. You have worked hard enough to take the hospital examination. I still have to bring the child, where are my siblings?"

He is an acquaintance, seeing Qin Chuan pleasing to the eye, he naturally chatted with Qin Chuan about things.

If it wasn't for the exam, with his personality, why would he invite Qin Chuan to drink peach blossom wine, just remove the word peach, and take Qin Chuan to the Goulan to listen to the music first.

Qin Chuan then explained Ying Ning's origin, but only concealed the identity of the fox girl.

Wang Fu is a sentimental person, and he almost shed tears, "So this child is so pitiful, it's hard for you, Brother Qin Xian. The Holy Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. I have to ask someone to commend you for your deeds."

Qin Chuan naturally refused: "My little brother has been very quiet since he was a child, and he doesn't like excitement. Brother Wang's kindness, my little brother appreciates it."

Wang Fu dislikes people who strive for fame the most, and thinks that such people are hypocritical and artificial, and they should not be friends with each other. Qin Chuan's words are in line with his temperament.

He clarified, "Brother Qin Xian, I like to hear these words. As a brother, I am not a person who likes to pursue fame and fortune. However, I have no intention of pursuing wealth and honor, but who knows that wealth and honor will force people to come. My family has a great cause, and for the sake of my ancestors and parents, I have to I also joined the examination room to seek fame. It was just not what I wanted. I took the exam a few times, but I just dealt with it, so I failed repeatedly. This time I took the exam at the same time as my brother, and I don’t want to fall behind my brother. This exam is bound to be won. You and I encourage each other!"

He got the wolf fur, thinking that he should pass the exam this time, so he let out big words.Besides, he failed the talent test nine times. He is not in a hurry. The old man should be in a hurry. Maybe he has already taken care of it.

Anyway, I will go to the old man tonight to express my determination and let the old man figure it out.

At that time, say a few harsh words, and if he fails this time, he will die.If you don't believe me, the old man won't arrange it!

The two drank several cups to each other, toasting each other.

At this time, a servant came to him and whispered in a low voice: "Young Master, there are people from the Ti Academy outside to pay a visit."

Ti Xueguan is the chief examiner of the Tongsheng Examination. It can be said that all the scholars in the province come from his disciples.

Just as Wang Fu was thinking about this, he lost his drunkenness and thought: "The old man really understands me very well. He knows that I don't like to do those stereotyped articles, so he should take care of it early. It's just that I haven't heard that the old man can have anything to do with the Institute of Education. Is it a bad influence to come here in broad daylight? Although I have the strength to pass the exam, if I pass the exam, won’t this cause people to gossip? not see."

"Take me there quickly."

Servant: "Young Master, the person didn't come to see you. He said that a guest came to our house. He was the head of the county examination. Mr. Tixue is interested in him and wants to see him."

"Who is that guest?"

The servant nodded towards Qin Chuan.

Wang Fu was surprised and said: "Brother Qin Xian, you are the head of the county examination, why didn't you tell me?"

The birthplace of Wang Fu's scientific research is located in Guobei County, Huaning Prefecture next door.Guobei County and Lingzhou Prefecture are next to each other, and the journey from Qinjia Village to Guobei County is actually about the same distance as to Lingzhou Prefecture.It's not that he likes to be from Guobei County, but that Nie Zhi County, who is next door to Guobei County, is his uncle.

Of course, his ability to pass the county test this time depends entirely on his own strength.However, it happened that my uncle was also the magistrate of Huaning Prefecture in the same year, and he had a very good relationship with him. Wang Fu could not know if he mentioned him while drinking with the prefect of Huaning Prefecture before the examination.

Thinking that he is so outstanding in this family, it is impossible for my uncle not to mention it.

After all, drinking needs a topic.

Wang Fu asked himself, he has always been the center of conversation in the family.

Regardless of whether the prefect of Huaning knows about Wang Fu, he will definitely be impressed by his literary talent.

It's just that his literary talent is not the top case in the county examination, although it may be that his uncle and the others lowered his ranking in order to avoid suspicion.

But Wang Fu felt that although his knowledge was good, there was still a gap between him and the head of the Lingzhou prefecture.Because Lingzhou Prefecture is a provincial government, the style of study is very prosperous, and it is the most difficult place to take the exam in this province.

It is not an easy task to be the chief case of Lingzhou Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, brother Qin Xian was a great talent.

Wang Fu thought with emotion like lightning.

Qin Chuan replied slowly, "It's just good luck. It's not worth mentioning that you won the first case in a daze. Besides, you can be considered a scholar if you pass the college exam. If you don't pass the college exam, you're just a child."

Wang Fu laughed loudly: "My dear brother, don't be humble. There is no one in the Lingzhou government who fails the examination of a scholar. Let's go and meet the people in the school first, and don't make them wait for a long time."

Qin Chuan shook his head, "Brother Wang, no, please help me to reject that person, just say that Mr. Tixue and I have never met each other, and now we are taking the college entrance examination, and I don't want to put Mr. Tixue and myself in a place of suspicion." .After all, people's words are awesome, so don't be careless."

Before Qin Chuan awakened, he was naturally smart and eager to learn, and his literary talents were indeed enough to pass the examinations for scholars and even candidates, but he was only the leader of the county examination, and he was more or less particular about it.It is unlikely to fall on a person of his origin.He can be the leader of the case, in addition to his excellent articles and his ability to convince the public, he must have been involved in some unknown games, so the title of the leader of the case fell on him.

At this time, someone from Tixue Institute suddenly came to Wang Fu's house to invite him over. I'm afraid it was not for the purpose of mentioning xuefu, and the person who came might not even be from Tixuexue Institute.

Even if you pass the exam as a scholar, you will be brought up to talk about it.

If you don't see him, even if you really offend Tixue, you will at least give him the reputation of a scholar because of his scruples Lin Qingyi.

After all, learning is a clean stream, and one has to pay attention to the reputation among scholars.

Wang Fu also immediately realized that even if someone from the Tixue School really came to invite him, he would not be able to see him. Qin Chuan saw it more thoroughly than him.

It seems that most of the people who mention the school are fake identities, who is so bold?

Wang Fu had to think deeply, for fear that this matter would involve his family.

But people definitely can’t see him, even he can’t go to see him, so he sent a servant to call the housekeeper, and explained clearly that he must politely refuse people, especially in public.

After Wang Fu gave his orders, he asked the steward to do as he said.

Looking at Qin Chuan again, his expression was calm, and he looked at him more and more in his heart.

Qin Chuan thought in his heart: Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Disputes in the world cannot be avoided after all, and one has to strengthen one's own strength.

Just one more wolf.
