The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 362
The next day, when Wang Gang went to Zhuang Xuejiao's class, Gu Tingye and Qi Hengqiqi told him that the family had agreed to cooperate.

Gu Tingye even planned to use the channel of his grandfather Bai's family to help Wang Gang sell glass bottles and toilet water.

The Bai family is a well-known salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, with a wealth of wealth. After the death of the old master Bai, he gave all the property of the family to Gu Tingye.

It is not only Tianpu cash, but also the sales channels and contacts of Baijia salt sellers.

After Wang Gang found out, he was very happy. The deeper he was involved with Gu Tingye, the deeper his bond with the Yongning Hou Mansion.

Gu Tingye will inherit the title of Marquis of Yongning one day sooner or later.

Although there is an elder brother above him and a younger brother below him, but the elder brother is weak and unable to give birth to a son, and the younger brother is young.

Moreover, Gu Yankai's most beloved son is actually Gu Tingye, which has something to do with Gu Tingye's mother.

Before Marquis Yongning married Gu Tingye's mother, he had a first wife, the Daqin family.

After Da Qin gave birth to Gu Yankai's eldest son, his health has been in poor health.

Later, the Hou Mansion encountered a crisis and needed a large sum of money to tide over the difficulties. Gu Yankai intended to marry the Bai family, who was also Gu Tingye's mother.

As a result, when Da Qin knew about it, he was so angry that he couldn't afford it, and completely moved Bai's position.

After the Bai family passed through the door, they brought a dowry of several 10 taels to help the Marquis Mansion tide over the difficulties. Gu Yankai was grateful to the Bai family.

Later, when Mrs. Bai heard about Da Qin's affairs, she knew that she was being used, and her emotional agitation led to dystocia. Although she gave birth to Gu Tingye, she did not survive it.

Gu Yankai was very guilty of Bai's death. He had strict requirements on Gu Tingye since he was a child, and hoped that he would become a talent.

Gu Yankai is a person who is not good at expressing his feelings. He hides all his love for Gu Tingye in his heart, causing father and son to be at odds.

Gu Tingye thought that his father favored his eldest brother, and Gu Yankai was angry with his son for being unrestrained, so the father and son always quarreled when they met.

Knowing it or not, Gu Tingye's ups and downs in the first half of his life were mostly related to the discord between father and son.

Wang Gang thought that if Gu Tingye helped him like this, he would have a chance to reconcile their father and son and resolve the misunderstanding.

After class, good news came from the old lady. She took the initiative to contact the Yongyi Hou Mansion and the Sheng family's big house, so that she could help Wang Gang with his business.

Now that there are two Marquis' mansions and one Duke's mansion, and with the support of the Sheng family, Wang Gang can finally do business with peace of mind, not afraid that others will miss his money.

Wang Gang has already written to Lin Sushuang the process of producing glass bottles and toilet water. She will be in charge of production in the future, and the Bai family and Sheng family will be in charge of sales. Two Marquis' mansions and one Duke's mansion will escort them. No one dares to force them. secret recipe.

Sheng Hong approached Wang Gang once, and advised him to hand over the business to his servants, to study at ease, and not to lose sesame seeds and watermelons.

At the same time, Sheng Hong also thanked his son, because after the Sheng family had interests with the two Marquis' mansions and one Duke's mansion, Sheng Hong obviously felt that he was getting smoother and smoother in the officialdom.

Mother is more precious than son, Wang Gang is more outstanding, and even Lin Sushuang is more favored, and Sheng Hong spends more and more time staying in Lin Xige.

Mrs. Wang quit after seeing it, but she had no ability to keep the man. In the end, she followed the advice of the maidservant and gave Sheng Hong a few concubines.

Sheng Hong was lustful, and he would never refuse any woman who came to his door. Lin Sushuang was jealous for several days.

In the end, it was Wang Gang who came forward and persuaded Lin Sushuang not to show jealousy, but to be more magnanimous and live in peace with those concubines.

As long as the business is on track and brings continuous benefits to the Sheng family, it is impossible for Lin Sushuang to fall out of favor.

Lin Sushuang listened to Wang Gang's words and put her mind on business. The first batch of glass bottles and toilet water had already appeared in Bianjing City.

There was no glass manufacturing technology in this era, Wang Gang's glass bottles were immediately sought after, but toilet water became a by-product.

Rare things are more expensive. Wang Gang set a very high price for glass bottles and toilet water. The monthly output is very small, but the supply is still in short supply.

There are too many rich and powerful people in Bianjing, who doesn't want to get a rare treasure to show off.

Soon Wang Gang made money and was a little scared himself.

At the end of the year, when the accounts were settled, after deducting the benefits of all parties, Wang Gang earned 30 taels of silver just by selling the glass bottles.

During the period, it was not that no one wanted to make a glass bottle, but it was blocked by the two princes' mansion and the Duke's mansion.

It may not be a big deal for the three families alone, but when the three are united, even the emperor has to give some face.

The two princes' mansions and the Duke's mansion are also willing to help Wang Gang block some people in view of the annual income of at least 5 taels.

Later, as the sales of glass bottles opened up in the south, the annual accounts of the Hou Mansion and the Guogong Mansion were more than 10 taels.

Facing such a huge sum of money, the Hou Mansion and the Duke's Mansion were not willing to have any influence to share the accounts.

After the business was on track, Wang Gang focused his energy on books.

Zhuang Xuexue is worthy of being a great Confucian in the world. Under his guidance, the sons and daughters of the Sheng family have made great progress in their knowledge, but it is not the Sheng family who has made the fastest progress, but Gu Tingye.

Although Gu Tingye is a prodigal, wandering around the romantic places all the year round, but he is really smart, and the articles are very beautifully written.

Xuexue Zhuang not only said once that if Gu Tingye could concentrate on his books, it would be no problem to get the top score in the exam.

On the contrary, Qi Heng is much worse. His aptitude is not as high as Gu Tingye's, but he wins because of his hard work.

It's just that ever since Wang Gang introduced Sheng Minglan to Qi Heng, this little father-in-law has lost his mind on books and sent some small gifts to Minglan all day long.

Knowing her identity, Minglan also kept in mind Wei Xiaoniang's dying words, and kept a low profile in the Sheng Mansion. Facing Qi Heng's advances of love, she refused many times, and all the small gifts she received were given to her sisters Rulan and Molan.

Since childhood, Qi Heng wanted the wind to get the wind, and the rain to get the rain, how could he bear this, the more Minglan rejected him, the more he took the initiative, sometimes Wang Gang felt that he was just a licking dog.

As for Sheng Changbai's homework, it can only be described as stable, making steady progress and catching up from behind.

Sheng Changbai deserves to be the person most like Mrs. Wang, not only is Zhou Zheng, but also studies hard. Unlike Gu Tingye and Qi Heng, Sheng Changbai's concentration is astonishing, even Wang Gang can't match it.

As for Wang Gang himself, because he was distracted from learning martial arts, he was a little worse than Gu Tingye in textbooks, but he was better than Sheng Changbai and Qi Heng.

I dare not say that I am the number one scholar in the examination, but it should not be a problem to be a Jinshi in the examination.

As for winning three yuan in a row, Wang Gang no longer dared to think about it!
Because the difficulty is too great, in Gu Tingye's words, it is simply not something that humans can do.

The imperial examinations call the No. 1 of the provincial examination, general examination and palace examination as Jieyuan, Huiyuan and Zhuangyuan, collectively referred to as "three yuan".

Successively passed No.1 in the provincial examination, general examination, and palace examination, which is called Sanyuan Jidi, also known as Lianzhong Sanyuan.

That is to say, you have to get the first place in the provincial test first, and then get the first place in the national test.

The final palace examination is the emperor's personal assessment. In addition to the test of talent and learning, it also depends on the emperor's eyesight. Only when he sees you pleasing to the eye can he get the first place, that is, the number one scholar.

In this way, those who have won the three yuan consecutively must not only have the best talents in the world, but also be pleasing to the eye.

It doesn't matter if it's good-looking or too ugly, too ugly will be disliked by the emperor, and too handsome may arouse the emperor's jealousy.

Therefore, Lianzhong Sanyuan has been rare since ancient times, and there are only five people in the Song Dynasty since the founding of the country.

Wang Gang said big things before and wanted to win three yuan in a row, but after inquiring clearly, he realized how big his big words were, so he no longer had extravagant hopes.

The imperial court examination is held in autumn every time, also known as Qiu Wei.

Before the township examination, there are three, the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination.

Wang Gang and Sheng Changbai passed the county and government examinations in Yangzhou, and obtained the qualifications for children.

Later, he passed the college examination in Bianjing and became a scholar.

Nowadays, as long as you pass the provincial examination again, you will be a master of the people.

Fan Jin Zhongju, the one who wins is Juren.

Juren is qualified to be an official, but he can only be a small official below the seventh rank, and the limit is the county magistrate of the seventh rank.

Don't think that the county magistrate is small. The Qipin county magistrate actually has to manage 10,000+ people in a county. It is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor is an emperor.

After the Sheng family moved to Bianjing, the township examination would naturally be taken in Bianjing, and Gu Tingye and Qi Heng took part together.

The exam lasted for three consecutive days, and Wang Gang was assigned to a separate small room, no more than one meter wide, with only a chair and a partition.

The partition is both a desk and a bed, and all the eating, drinking and drinking are in the cubicle.

Lin Sushuang originally wanted to prepare some cakes for her son to bring into the examination room, but when she had her body checked at the front door, all of them were confiscated, leaving only some dry food to bring into the examination room.

Others are treated similarly.

Don't even think about cheating in the imperial examination, and it is even more impossible to impersonate someone.

After Wang Gang finished the exam in three days, he felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, but he still couldn't hand in the paper in advance.

Sheng Hong and Zhuang Xuejiao reminded that submitting the imperial examination papers in advance may easily arouse the resentment of the examiners, thinking that you are not paying attention to the scientific examinations, and it is a deduction item, which must not be done.

At this time, the advantages of the official family are reflected. Compared with the general candidates, they have the experience of the father's generation and the advice from the ears.

Not to mention that Sheng Hong had inquired about the examiner's temperament early in the morning, and asked his son to cater to the examiner's writing style when writing essays, which would have a better chance of winning.

Three days after the examination papers were graded, it was the day when the rankings would be released. Early in the morning, firecrackers sounded in front of Sheng's house, and there was an endless stream of congratulatory people.

"Congratulations to Mr. Sheng's senior high school Jieyuan!"
