"Master, how are you? Have you become a disciple?"
Fuquan saw his young master coming out and hurried forward, having already made a draft in his stomach to express his congratulations.
Sun Hao was confused, and he only had the word "finished" in his mind.
The article was stolen from Shen Yancheng. He was an average scholar, and the articles he usually wrote were only mediocre. How could they compare to Shen Yancheng who was full of knowledge and had a wealth of knowledge?
As long as Mr. Wei reads his article tomorrow, the secret of him secretly changing the article will definitely be exposed.
"Trash, it's all your bad idea!"
Sun Hao slapped him across the head and face. Fuquan was staggered from the beating and half of his face was swollen. He trembled and fell to the ground, allowing Sun Hao to punch and kick him.
Sun Hao finally vented enough. Looking at the boy who was beaten with a bruised nose and face at his feet, disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Master."
Fuquan's ribs were aching, and he had to kneel down to thank him. Sun Hao had a bad temper, and would whip his servants whenever he didn't get what he wanted. They usually worked with their hearts and skin tight, for fear of offending him.
"Master, but Mr. Wei is not satisfied?" Fuquan was careful to please.
"My servant said that the invitation to the Shen Banquet was just for fame and fame, but it was just a false name. In terms of writing, there is nothing comparable to the young master. If I had known earlier, I should have sent your article to the young master. Maybe now Mr. Wei has had the apprenticeship tea."
Sun Hao was not at all excited about being flattered, so he kicked him over.
"Bah, what do you know, a slave!"
He didn't want to admit that his talents were not as good as Shen Yanqing's, and he felt even more irritable.
"The old man wants me to write an article. Where can I go to do it for him? Why don't I force Shen Yan to invite me to write it?"
This is in the academy, not Linglong Pavilion. As long as he dares to touch Shen Yanqing, the people in the academy will know it soon. But without Shen Yanqing's writing style, just relying on his skill, he will be exposed tomorrow.
Sun Hao racked his brains and couldn't think of a solution, and Fuquan almost figured out the reason for his young master's depression.
This is because Mr. Wei took a fancy to Shen Yanyin's article and wanted to use it to test his young master, but the young master was flustered when he couldn't answer the questions.
To him, he deserved it. He thought about taking shortcuts and overturned.
But he didn't dare to say this. If his young master found out, he would probably drag him out and beat him to death.
Fuquan calmed down and thought about the newly opened bookstore at the entrance of the academy, and he had another idea in his mind.
"Master, I heard that the newly opened QiQi Bookstore at the entrance of the academy sells Shen Yanqing's reading experience, and the articles he usually writes are also in it. Why don't you go and have a look, in case there are answers to the questions Mr. Wei wants? "
This idea is more reliable than kidnapping Shen Yanqing. Even if there is no answer in it, he can still find the solution to the problem from his experience.
It's just that... when he went to buy something rashly and was discovered, didn't he admit that he was not as knowledgeable as him?
Although this was a fact known to everyone, Sun Hao did not want to reveal this fig leaf in public.
Fuquan had been following Sun Hao for more than ten years and could see his concerns at a glance.
"Master, if I go to buy it, no one will discover my identity."
"Well, go ahead and be careful."
"Know it."
——
The Shen family closed the stall at noon, and Jiang Miao asked Boss Shen and Wang to go back first. She had to go to Jinxiu Pavilion.
Yesterday, she made an appointment with Xu Zilan to give her Yuyanshuang. There was no one in the shop at noon, so while the maid went to Xu Mansion to call for help, she asked shopkeeper Qin to pull some pieces of cloth for her.
Shen Laoer became obsessed with handicrafts after getting the drawings, but the toys could not be finished in a day or two. She was frightened by the Sun family yesterday and forgot to pull the cloth for Xu, so she just made up for it today.
"What kind of fabric does Lady Ginger want?"
Shopkeeper Qin took out three pieces of silk and two pieces of silk yarn. She thought Jiang Miao was making clothes, so they were all made of fine materials.
"I need all of these. Can I ask Shopkeeper Qin to give me a piece of each?"
"Here... don't go too far, madam. These pieces are only enough to embroider a purse. If you want to make clothes, I can give you a cheaper price."
Madam Jiang has made so much money for Jinxiu Pavilion that Shopkeeper Qin is not willing to give it to her for free.
"No, these are enough."
Shopkeeper Qin didn't insist, so he wrapped the torn cloths and gave them to her. Although these cloths were precious, Jiang Miao had torn them very little, and the total amount was only thirty yuan.
Jiang Miao paid the money and paused when she saw the cotton cloth on the side. She had never made clothes in ancient times, and the robe she had promised to sew for Shen Yan had not yet been made. This time, she happened to pull two pieces of cotton cloth back to make the middle coat. The original owner's robe After wearing it for a long time, the collar has been washed and torn.
Moreover, she also wants to make two small clothes for herself...
After everything was packed, Xu Zilan arrived.
"Ms. Jiang, is the jade Yanshuang ready?"
"Well, I made three boxes this time, which is enough for you to use for a while."
"Just three boxes..."
Xu Zilan was a little dissatisfied. She only used the box she saved for half a month, and these three boxes were only enough for her for a month.
"You can ask me for more after you finish it. Although this jade cream is good, it deteriorates easily and should not be stored for a long time." There were no preservatives in ancient times, so she didn't dare to make too much every time.
She was reluctant to use the box given to Mrs. Zhang last time. She heard that the shelf life was only two months, so she insisted on applying it every day to avoid wasting it. It took only half a month for the wrinkles on her face to smooth out.
No matter how old Mrs. Zhang is, she still loves beauty. After knowing the benefits of Yuyan Cream, she doesn’t mind spending money. She applies it more diligently than anyone else every day. Father Shen even praises her for looking several years younger and standing with him. Like a wife, she made Mrs. Zhang smile from ear to ear.
When Xu Zilan heard that the shelf life was short, she gave up on stocking up.
"How much does this cost, Mrs. Jiang?"
"It doesn't cost anything. Madam Xu has helped me many times. These are my thank you gifts."
"I already gave you a thank you gift last time, how can I take advantage of you again and again." Moreover, there are ten fragrant beads in the extra box, and these alone are already twenty taels of silver.
"Ms. Xu has been a life-saving grace to me. She deserves as much jade cream as she gives me. Don't talk to me about it."
"That's...ok." Xu Zilan also saw that Jiang Miao was a sweet-tempered person who didn't stick to trivial details and would repay kindness. She gave away dozens of taels of silver as she was asked to do. Moreover, judging from her dress, her family background was only average, even a little. poverty.
"This is the Xu family's brand. If Mrs. Jiang encounters trouble in the town, she can ask the Xu family for help."
Jiang Miao took it. This thing was better than silver. Now that she was in the eyes of the Sun family, they might come to trouble her again. With the protection of the Xu family, the Sun family would have to think twice before touching her.
"Thank you Madam Xu!"
——
"Brother Shen, how much do you think the bookshop earned today?"
Xu Ziwen came in overjoyed, resting his hands on Shen Yanqing's table.
Shen Yanqing stopped copying the book, and looking at his open eyes and brows, he felt a little curious.
"How many?"
"Twelve!"
"so much!"
Shen Yanqing was shocked even if he was mentally prepared.
"No, once I heard that it was the reading notes of a talented scholar from Shen University, the students in the academy flocked to it. If it weren't for their tight pockets, everyone would be willing to buy a copy."
This is a study material for prospective candidates. They can gain insights by reading it twice more, in case they need to use it in the exam.
Shen Yanqing felt complicated. Normally, he only copied two articles a month, but in one day he earned five years' worth of money.
