Seeing that her youngest daughter had a flat mouth and an unhappy look on her face, Mrs. Wang smiled and pushed the fruit basket in front of her daughter.
"Mom, are they all mine?" Ru Lan said in surprise when she saw most of the basket of fruits.
Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at this greedy girl, "Your father and I haven't eaten yet."
Even if it's three people, that's a lot.
Ru Lan immediately turned sunny, reached for a lychee and peeled it off, "Mother, do we sell such fresh fruit in the capital?"
Wang said: "I didn't buy it, it was a gift from my young master."
I took a bite of the lychee meat...it's so sweet!!
"Brother Heng?"
Wang said: "Well. A while ago, I heard that my young father-in-law's family started a fruit business. It seems to be true."
Henglaoer's family is doing fruit business??
Rulan's eyes rolled with trepidation, "Mom, my young master is so polite, should we return some gifts? Lest people think our family is stingy."
Ms. Wang was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect this. But thinking about what her youngest daughter said, it was right. This time, the fruit, together with the gift given by Qi Guo Gong's family when they first came to the house, looked at her daughter and said happily, "
Ru'er has grown up."
Rulan immediately said: "Mother, tell me when you return the gift."
Wang asked strangely: "What does Ru'er want to do?"
Ru Lan said: "I want to send a letter to Brother Heng to thank him for sending me fruit."
Mrs. Wang looked surprised. When did her little daughter become so well-behaved?
Ru Lan said with a serious expression, "Mom, I am ten years old this year. Zhuang Xuexue often said that a drop of water should be repaid by a spring..."
.....................
Get up at dawn and work diligently to do good.
"Heng'er, it's time to get up."
Wang Lidong, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a sharp shout. His anger surged up three inches, but he suppressed it helplessly, "I know, get up right now."
Three strikes, five divided by two, and after a while, he appeared in the living room neatly dressed.
Qi's mother was holding a list in one hand and counting the various items her son would bring to the exam.
"Morning, mother."
"Heng'er, hurry up and have breakfast."
Qi's mother replied casually, pointing to a kraft paper package and said, "There is too little realgar. Come to Sheng, go to the warehouse immediately and get 2 more packages."
Seeing 'realgar', she thought of the candidate who was bitten to death during the government examination. Although her son's fists and kicks are good now, they are just tricks. If he encounters a poisonous snake... safety first.
Wang Lidong glanced at the pack of realgar in Lu Hong's hand, and estimated that it was at least half a catty... It would definitely be enough to cover a small dormitory, and if two more bags were added, the smell of the dormitory would not be overpowering.
dead....
But he didn't say much, he sat at the table obediently and started eating breakfast.
After Princess Pingning finished ordering, she pulled her son onto the carriage.
After leaving the house, Wang Lidong looked through the window at the pedestrians on the roadside. Many of them were dressed as students, thinking they had the same purpose as him.
Many of them are also accompanied by their parents...so similar to the college entrance examination a thousand years later.
When we arrived at Gongyuan, some white bellies were slightly exposed on the horizon.
The process of entering the hospital is no different from the previous two sessions, but the speed of entering the examination room is obviously much slower.
Wang Lidong pricked up his ears and inquired for a while.
Today's examiner has changed. Sunchon Fuyin has been replaced by Tixue Cai Zhun from Gyeonggi Road. This person seems to be particularly strict about examinations.
After half an hour, it was finally Wang Lidong's turn.
The rice balls were torn into pieces one by one, the holder of the writing brush was sawed open one by one, and someone even had his ears picked out...
Just about to poke the anus...fuck!
Lifting up his pants, Wang Lidong spat in his heart and said:
Son of a bitch!
The guard who was checking the realgar powder staggered for some unknown reason, and then fell to the ground.
Wang Lidong hurriedly tied up his trousers, reached out and took out his three packets of realgar.
This thing is not cheap. If you go to the drug store, it will cost you at least three or four dollars, so you can't waste it.
"Sir, these three packets of realgar powder have been inspected. Can students wrap them up?"
Seeing the examiner Cai Zhun nodding expressionlessly, he carefully repackaged the three packets of realgar powder.
Nothing happened next... I found my seat this time, "Zhou-23". I followed the instructions and found the dormitory. It turned out to be the innermost one.
After looking around, I found that the environment was okay and quite clean.
As usual, I took out the broom and cleaned it up.
There were two questions in the college examination, which were asked by the examiner on the spot that day...Wang Lidong put down his writing brush before eleven o'clock.
It's a pity that the examination papers cannot be submitted in advance. You have to wait until three o'clock, and then a guard will come to collect the examination papers.
I had soup again for lunch.
After thinking about it, I dismantled the wooden boards on top and built it into a bed. I lay on the bed and planned to lie there until the exam was over.
When he was sleeping soundly... "Pop!" Wang Lidong woke up instantly when he felt something hit him. When he opened his eyes, he saw an earthy yellow snake on his belly... At this time, he was grinning at him.
Hold yourself....
It has a triangular head, an obvious snout, a short tail, and cheek pits. The back of the head is dark brown, the ventral surface of the body is off-white, and the tip of the tail is brown and black... It turns out to be a short-tailed viper that flies on grass.
You little thing, dare to bare your teeth at me.
He stretched out a finger and lightly flicked the snake's head, causing it to fly straight up on the grass and fall onto the bed.
Wang Lidong sat up and stretched...
I put on my shoes, picked up the grass that was lying on the bed, and didn't dare to move. I looked up and down, then looked up at the sky. It should be almost 2 o'clock. I just wanted to use the small charcoal stove I brought.
It is unrealistic to stew snake meat for several hours.
I reluctantly gave up the idea of killing the snake, skinning it and stewing it into soup.
After thinking for a moment, he released the skill panel. When he saw the Little Bird Adjustment Technique, Wang Lidong's eyes lit up... He threw a Small Bird Adjustment Technique on the little thing...
Five minutes later, looking at the stupid snake in my hand... I finally figured out what "up" meant.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He threw Cao Shangfei under his feet, kicked the guy again, and signaled him to lie down against the wall.
The little guy raised his head and glanced at him for a few seconds before slowly leaning against the corner.
wipe!
If you are not still useful, I will stew you immediately!
Wang Lidong stood back and found that if he had stood further away and not stared, he would not have been able to tell that there was a poisonous snake hiding here.
good.
Then he took off his shoes and Wang Lidong lay on the partition again... thinking about the posture of a person who died of poisoning... the sound of someone's footsteps sounded in the distance...
....
The black-faced officer hurriedly ran to the examiner Cai Zhun and said loudly, "Sir, an examinee was bitten by a poisonous snake and died in the dormitory."
"What?!"
Cai Zhun stood up with a look of shock, "When did it happen?"
The black-faced officer said: "When I found out, the candidate had stopped moving."
"Take me there quickly."
This conversation made the hairs on the hair of the dozen or so candidates nearby stand up with fear.
They all stood up in a panic, and checked their dormitories again with trembling hands...
The messenger who reported the news pointed to the last dormitory and said, "Sir, that's the Zhou-23."
Cai Zhun stroked his beard, looked at the five government servants standing beside him again, felt confident, and waved his hand, "Lead the way."
When everyone arrived in front of 'Zhou-23', Cai Zhun hid behind several government officials and stretched his neck to observe the situation inside the cell. His eyes were blurred, and a black shadow came out of the cell.
My right calf hurts...
Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Lidong followed a group of candidates and trotted out of the gate of Gongyuan.
This Gongyuan is really scary.
Every game has to be a human being, and today I am even more awesome, I even failed my exams!
"Sir." Not wanting to see the young master, he hurriedly stepped forward and took the two test baskets, "Sir, I heard that Tixue was bitten to death by a poisonous snake?"
"Does the outside world know about it?"
"The transmission started at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon."
"Well, the old man died so miserably. When he was bitten, he was not far from me, and the screams were a bit piercing..."
Chunlan Digu said: "I think the Capital Gongyuan should be changed to the Capital Snake Yuan. Three people have been killed this year."
Seeing that her son was safe and sound, Qi's mother breathed a sigh of relief and immediately complained.
This year's exam is really scary.
Every time I send my son to Gongyuan, it feels like I am sending him to the battlefield...
Next, there are two stages of exams, both of which are in this damn place, and both require two days of stay...
The heart that had just been relieved was lifted again!
...
In a side hall of the Lu Mansion in the north of the capital city, Duke Lu, the general magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, pointed at the butler Zhao Qian who was kneeling in front of him and cursed, "It's been three months, and Qi Heng is still alive and kicking.
The first two times I bit other candidates to death, but this time I bit Cai Tixue to death, how do you want me to explain to the Cai family!"
Thinking of the trouble he was about to face, Mr. Lu raised his leg and kicked the butler.
Zhao Qian, who was kicked down, turned over and sat up, banging his head twice: "My lord, my lord, give me another month, and within one month I will definitely let you hear the good news."
Mr. Lu snorted coldly, "If it weren't for Rou'er's sake, I would have sent you to the Cai Mansion today to apologize.
I’ll give you another month, if there’s still no good news...just find a place to bury yourself!...Get out!”
.............................
Shengjia Wei Ruixuan
Sheng Hong returned home from the office. After changing out of his official uniform, he entered the hall and saw more than a dozen plates of various fruits on the table. He was surprised and said, "Madam, so many fruits?"
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Princess Pingning sent it here to celebrate her young master's achievement as a scholar."
"Have you really passed it once?!" Sheng Hong sighed with emotion, "I remember that my young master is only 13 years old this year. If you can pass the hospital examination at this age, your future is limitless."
Wang glanced at Sheng Hong and said tentatively: "My lord, since the young master can pass the college examination, I think Chang Bai's knowledge is no worse than that of the young master. Should we let him try next year too?"
"this....?"
It is a lie to say that he is not excited, and Changbai has been very ambitious since he was a child. It makes no sense that if the young master passes, his smart son cannot. Sheng Hong thought for a while and said, "I will ask Zhuang Xuexue another day. If Zhuang The scholar also agrees, so it will end next year...".
Wang said in a low voice: "Sir, Ru'er and the young master have been writing letters to each other recently..."
"Cough cough cough...."
Sheng Hong, who was happily eating watermelon, was shocked by the news and took a big mouthful, "Ru'er and the young master? Madam, are you right?"
"Ru'er showed it to me herself. There are several of them." Wang took out the handkerchief and handed it to the official, "Official, do you think the young master has taken a liking to my Ru'er?"
Sheng Hong took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Did the young master take the initiative to write the letter to Ru'er?"
Mrs. Wang shook her head slightly, "The first letter was written by Ru'er. Last time, the young father-in-law brought fruit, so she said she wanted to write a letter to thank the young father-in-law. This correspondence has never stopped."
"What is written in the letter from the young master?"
"Most of them were talking about food. The 'boiled dry shredded rice' we had last night was the recipe written in my uncle's letter..."
Sheng Hong was stunned.
No wonder it was so exquisitely made, it turned out to be from the Duke of Qi.
"...No...you already knew about this, why did you tell me today?"
Wang was stuck...: "Didn't I tell you two days ago?...I remember...it seemed...I told you..."
"I told you." Sheng Hong glared at the lost lady, "Please be careful about this..."
.....................................
Since being labeled as a scholar, Wang Lidong has been temporarily liberated. The next round of provincial examination will be next autumn, and there will be almost a year in between.
I went to my financial manager to find out about the funds I had on hand. After knowing that I had 430,000 yuan of small money piled up in my small vault, I waved my hand---flower!
Money has to be spent once it is earned, and it will not give birth to children if it is kept in a warehouse. Moreover, there are no banks these days, and even money banks have not yet appeared.
Iron ore, copper ore, greenstone mine... In less than a month, Wang Lidong had more than 30 various mines in his hands.
Then he spent more than 80,000 yuan and bought 3 large estates covering an area of 10,000 acres. After spending a few months to sort out all the matters in the three estates, he also expanded the iron-making workshop and shipbuilding on a large scale.
Workshop, new chemical workshop...
When the money in hand was reduced to four figures, the annual big day of the Duke's Mansion quietly arrived.
Early in the morning, Wang Lidong, fully dressed, came to his parents' courtyard.
Seeing Qi's mother who was dressed in luxurious equipment, she bowed deeply.
"Happy birthday, mother!"
Seeing that her son had not forgotten, Princess Pingning nodded with satisfaction: "Heng'er, sit down quickly."
Qi's father asked: "Heng'er, what gift have you prepared for your mother?"
"I've prepared the gift, but let me leave it a secret for now as to what it is." Wang Lidong looked at the cheap daddy and said, "What gift did dad prepare this year?"
Father Qi smiled and stroked his beard, "Keep it secret."
Wang Lidong rolled his eyes.
The family happily had breakfast and then went about their business again.
Time soon came to evening.
As usual, we won't have dinner at home, but at a restaurant in the capital.
Wang Lidong grabbed Qi's mother who was about to get into the carriage, pointed in the direction of the stable,
"Mother, this is a birthday gift prepared by my son for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a handsome white horse pulling a golden four-wheeled carriage, slowly approaching from a distance, pacing in front of a family. When he stopped, he snorted loudly.
.
Qi's mother looked at the luxurious carriage and said in surprise: "Why are there four wheels?"
"Mom, let's sit down and talk."
After entering the carriage, Princess Pingning thought of one word - big!
The length was estimated to be more than ten feet, and the width was six to seven feet... In terms of height, when she came in, she only slightly bent her knees.
After sitting down, lean back and straighten your legs.
Spacious!
After walking a hundred meters, Qi's mother noticed something was wrong. Normally, the carriage would jump violently no matter how slow it went, but today she only felt some slight vibrations. She touched the seat cushion, which was only of ordinary thickness.
"Heng'er, why is this carriage so stable?"
Wang Lidong bent down and opened a drawer under the seat, and took out a shock-absorbing system (bow plate, shock-absorbing steel plate) and two bearings, and then briefly explained the functions of the two things to the couple.
If it weren't for the current poor iron smelting technology, he would never have used a spring plate in the shock absorber system. This thing has no comfort and is usually used on trucks.
Father Qi turned the bearing in his hand, "Heng'er, what is the use of this little thing?"
Wang Lidong smiled and said: "Father, this carriage is pulled by just one horse."
They were a family of three, plus a groom, plus the weight of the carriage. Without bearings, it would have taken at least two horses to pull it.
After Qi's father figured it out, he looked at the small round bearing in his hand and said, "What a good thing! If all the carriages are equipped with this thing, it can transport a lot more things, and it can save a lot of manpower and military rations when going to war."
Qi's mother said: "Heng'er, how many of these cars do you have?"
Wang Lidong said: "Does mother intend to give it to Jin He and the empress?"
Qi's mother nodded.
Wang Lidong said: "There is no complete vehicle, but there are a few sets of key accessories. Or give the accessories and the drawings of the carriage to the palace. Isn't there a general in the palace who will serve as a supervisor? The carriage they make must be better than ours."
Qi's mother thought for a while and felt that her son's idea was not bad. Anyway, just let Jin Jin and the Queen know what she felt.
While talking, the car gradually slowed down.
"Your Majesty, the Duke, the Young Master, Fengle Tower has arrived."
The four-wheeled carriage was so stunning that as soon as the carriage parked, a large group of people gathered around it.
After Wang Lidong and his family of three got off the bus, they saw a dozen familiar faces... The British Duke... Duke Chengguo... Marquis Yongchang... Uncle Zhongqin...
After bowing to a circle of elders, four or five minutes had passed... When Wang Lidong was about to enter the restaurant, he found that the cheap dad and his carriage had disappeared.
After asking, I found out that I was dragged to take turns to test the car by several distinguished people...
By the time the family of three sat in the box, it was already past seven o'clock.
Wang Lidong regretted riding out in a four-wheeled carriage today.
However, Qi's father and Qi's mother's faces were all red.
The nobles who have ridden in the four-wheeled carriage are full of praise for the carriage, especially the elderly and those who often travel far away. To them, this carriage is simply a magical tool.
The couple knew that the car was built by their son, so the more others praised it, the prouder they felt.
"Heng'er, how do you plan to sell the carriage?" After ordering, Qi's father asked, "When I was testing the carriage just now, several companies asked me if I would sell the 'high-speed flying shear boat'?"
In the past few months, Wang Lidong had made a lot of money by relying on the clipper boat, which made the bunch of carnivores in the capital laugh and cry.
Wang Lidong said: "I don't plan to make the carriage myself, I will only sell the key accessories. As for the flying shear boat, as long as the price is right... I will sell it!"
The most valuable things in the four-wheeled carriage are the shock-absorbing steel plates and bearings. The rest are just hard work... As for the flying shear ship, he just doesn't sell it. With the shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty, it won't be long before it can be used.
, there will be various imitation clipper boats shuttle back and forth on the Bianhe River....
