Chapter 118: Entering Suizhou again, registering names in Gongyuan
No matter from any aspect, the Sheng family has no reason not to accept this deal. However, the final transaction will not be completed. As a result, there will be a large number of special badges engraved in the hands of the Sheng family. And porcelain that is difficult to sell.
If at this time, someone familiar with the Sheng family proposed to purchase this batch of porcelain at a low price, the Sheng family would certainly agree. Because no matter how much they sell, they will still make money. The difference is just that it is much less than trading with the barbarians. Just profit.
Eventually, these porcelains will be in the hands of the Shao family. Although the cost will be higher than refining it yourself, because the profits are huge and the business will not be delayed, it is naturally the best of both worlds.
In fact, this business did not really harm the Sheng family. Even if the Sheng family found out about it in the future, they would only admire it but not have much resentment.
"Shen Lang's method is just right!" Shao Muyu looked at Shen Tang softly, the love in his eyes so thick that he couldn't let it go, "The Shao family and the Sheng family are fighting but trying not to hurt each other! In this way, the two of them will Each family benefits from it, and it doesn’t matter even if the Sheng family really finds out."
Liu Xiangling also looked at her husband with great joy.
Both women can be regarded as business geniuses, but Shen Tang's performance was unexpected, and he actually came up with such an unexpected method.
Shen Tang smiled, of course he was very happy to be able to help the two girls solve the problem, "Madam, Mu Yu, I'm going to Suizhou City today! The registration for the interpretation test has started. I'll go look for Fan Daren. How about I go there?" I missed the real thing."
"Okay!" Liu Xiangling nodded, "Will your husband come back today?"
"I'm back, but if I'm having a banquet with Fan Da in the evening, it will be a little late!" Shen Tang responded.
"In that case, let Lian'er call two boys to accompany Shen Lang." Shao Muyu also spoke in response...
This courtyard is also located at the foot of Suicheng Mountain, but it is just northwest of Suizhou City.
After bypassing Suicheng Mountain, we have arrived at the west gate of Suizhou City in only thirty or fifty miles!
At this moment, Suizhou City is much calmer than the last time I arrived, but there are still soldiers guarding the door.
Shen Tang and others were waiting to dismount for inspection. However, when the soldiers saw Shen Tang approaching, they all saluted solemnly and let Shen Tang and others in directly.
Most of these soldiers had seen the majesty of Yexiaozong Jinying in the battle at Tongbai Mountain before. In addition, their Shangguan Bian Xi had great respect for Shen Tang. In this way, how could they add value to Shen Tang? trouble?
When a group of three people arrived at the government office, they saw a group of four people carrying blue cloth to the official bridge and preparing to leave.
Seeing this support, Shen Tang knew that Master Zhizhou was going to travel, so he had to give way.
However, before Shen Tang and others could avoid him, the magistrate Xu Hongsheng, who was dressed in a crimson official coat, had already seen Ye Xiao.
He immediately stopped and said to the person next to him: "Go and tell Mr. Deng that I will go to the banquet tomorrow. Today I have to entertain a guest first." After saying that, without waiting for the follower to answer, Xu Liang came to the court. Zhu Shen Tang took the lead and said: "Is this Mr. Shen? Don't know why you came to our county government office? Quickly follow me in to taste tea..."
Shen Tang hesitated a little, then stepped forward and saluted and said: "Shen Tang pays homage to Lord Zhizhou!"
"Let's go..." Master Zhizhou's eagerness made Shen Tang a little surprised, but he could only follow Xu Zhizhou all the way into the government office.
The two boys were taken care of by themselves, and Shen Tang followed Mr. Zhizhou directly into a tea room!
The reason why Xu Hongsheng was so polite to Shen Tang was of course not without reason. One of the reasons was because of Bian Xi! They did not participate in the subsequent war, but not long ago, when Bian Xi went eastward, he personally led the troops. Go to Suizhou and solemnly entrust Xu Liang to ask him to help Shen Tang if anything happens.
Bian Xi and Xu Liang were already of the same rank, but now, Bian Xi has gone one step further and has become a celebrity in the official family, so their weight is naturally different.
The second one is Shao Muyu!
Although Xu Liang had not seen what happened on the battlefield in person, he was very clear about it. Shao Muyu fell in love with him, and it was a fact that everyone knew. Such a great god, even if he is the governor of the state, he must treat him as the governor. Treat each other with courtesy.
There are two points that are enough to give Shen Tang a different status in Xu Liang's heart.
"I heard Master Fan say that the young master wants to be released in Suizhou?" Xu Zhizhou asked with a smile.
Shen Tang nodded, "That's right, I just don't know if it's convenient!"
"Convenient, very convenient!" Xu Zhizhou said with a smile, "I have already sent people to invite Fan Da to come over, and I can follow you to sign up later."
If Shen Tang is really listed on the list in the future, it can be regarded as his political achievement, so why wouldn't he be unwilling? Besides, it's not a big deal, it's just a favor, so Xu Liang will naturally not be embarrassed.
The two talked for a while, and then Fan Zhineng arrived.
Xu Zhizhou didn't stay any longer. He just made an appointment for a banquet in the evening and let the two of them leave.
Similar to the off-site college entrance examination in later generations, Fan Zhineng first led Yexiao to the state school to enter the list, and then the two of them came to the Gongyuan to fill in all the necessary information to prepare for registration.
The Gongyuan of each state capital is a gathering place of local culture, and local officials also attach great importance to it. Although the Gongyuan of Suizhou is slightly inferior to that of Jiangnan, it is still very impressive.
The vermilion door at the main entrance is tightly closed. It is five rooms in size, with a small door on both sides. These three doors are combined into three gates!
Above the main entrance, a red plaque reads "Gongyuan" in black characters, "Pimen" is written on the left forehead, and "Xujun" is written on the right forehead. A pair of majestic stone lions stand in front of the door. On both sides of the stone lions, there is an archway, and on the left is ' "Ming Jing Recruiting Scholars", on the right is "Seeking talents for the country".
On both sides of the middle door, there is a pair of couplets. The first couplet says: In the cold window for ten years, I recited the Four Books, recited the Five Classics, and practiced the Six Arts, just to jump to the dragon gate! The second couplet says: I won the title in the third exam, I will be in the seventh rank, and I will be powerful. Eight sides, nine deities, all reborn because of the river carp.
This middle door cannot be opened except on scientific examination days, so Fan Zhineng led Yexiao to enter through the small door on the left.
Stepping into the small door, the two of them entered a house directly. In the house, an old master was reading an Analects of Confucius while waving his white beard and shaking his head.
Seeing Fan Zhineng leading Shen Tang in, the old master immediately put down his book and said with a smile, "It turns out that Mr. Fan is here. I wonder what the matter is?"
After explaining the reason, the old master looked at Yexiao. Then, after asking about his life and place of origin, he wrote Shen Tang's name on the page of a book and handed a piece of rice paper to Shen Tang. This rice paper would be the The 'test card' of Shen Tang's scientific examination. On the front of the test card, Shen Tang's name, age, place of origin, etc. are written. In addition, Shen Tang's physical appearance is also described in great detail.
For example, he is six feet tall, has a white face and a green beard, thick eyebrows, a small mole one inch below his left ear, etc...
