Chapter 203 The lesser of the two evils

In short, after asking about it, Hua Lang made a hasty calculation. If he really relied on this to make a living, it would really not be a problem to earn 1,800 taels a month, and he only raised it casually!

Both of them were a little excited.

In the evening, Tang Shijin went back, and Hualang was still scheming. The shopkeeper came over and said softly: "Third Young Master, isn't this inappropriate?"

"Why is it inappropriate?" Hua Lang asked, "Are there any rules in the religion that prohibit this?"

The man scratched his head: "Although there is no... but no one has sold it?"

"What do you care about what others do?" Hua Lang said: "I suddenly felt that we are all fools. For so many years, we have made money secretly and were scolded wherever we went. We dare not say anything about our sect when we go out, for fear of being despised.

...But we can obviously make a lot of money in business with this skill. Uncle Tian, ​​do you think we are fools?"

Uncle Tian said: "It's different. How can our dignified Five Immortals Sect do such a business thing?"

Hua Lang chuckled: "The Five Poison Sect is the Five Poison Sect. What is the Five Immortal Sect? Who are you trying to influence? Are you dignified? We have never been dignified!"

He paused: "If you are afraid, just go back and I will do it myself."

Uncle Tian hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's done!"

He held a lantern for him and asked Hualang to catch scorpions. The two of them worked for an hour and caught three or four kilograms. In the morning, Tang Shijin came, and Hualang gave her several jars of wild honey. After tasting it, it was extremely sweet.

.

Tang Shijin happily gave two cans to Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Zheng, and kept two cans for herself.

With this quality, you can even sell honey exclusively!

Tang Shijin said: "Didn't you say that bees are the best to raise? Then you raise more and sell honey! I can let you sell it in my tea house! I won't charge you any money!"

Uncle Tian said: "Miss Tang is truly worthy of being the goddess of wealth."

"Huh?" Tang Shijin said, "Uncle, are you praising me?"

Uncle Tian smiled and said, "I do praise you sincerely."

In the afternoon, Tao Chengqi came back.

Tang Shijin got the letter and hurried back to the village to meet him.

He explained a few words to her. Anyway, it was political enemies who wanted to clean up their Tao family, so Yan Baiwei found someone to escort the old housekeeper back to report the news.

But Yan Baiwei had something else to do and didn't come back for a while.

As for himself, he was afraid of getting into trouble if he went back, and when Jiang Hu left, he rushed back to the capital, fearing that it would cause trouble for him.

So for the time being, I'll just pretend that nothing is wrong and continue to stay here.

Tang Shijin understood. I was afraid that this matter was still related to Wanfu.

She didn't ask any more questions.

She practiced martial arts on time and according to the amount, and even practiced Chinese calligraphy according to the amount. She was just waiting for Yan Baiwei to come back and praise her a few words... But he didn't come back for four days in a row.

Tang Shijin couldn't sit still anymore and ran to the county town for a walk again.

After checking the account with Mrs. Luo, I got far more than expected, actually more than 5,000 taels.

After I came out, I accompanied Hualang to the county government to buy a piece of land and plan to build a large bee farm.

Now in the county government office, even County Magistrate Lin was trembling with fear when he saw her, and the bookkeeper didn't even dare to charge benefits.

Therefore, Mr. Jiang's thighs are not in vain, and the effect of this fox's fake power is expected to last for a while.

So, when Yan Baiwei returned home near noon, she was nowhere to be seen.

After asking around, I still don't know where she went.

So he had only been away for a few days, and she went crazy? She was nowhere to be found?

When it was dinner time, she didn't come back to eat, so Yan Baiwei got on his horse and went out to look for her.

Over there, Tang Shijin had dinner with Hua Lang and then walked back. On the way back, he saw Han Liuguang.

Han Liuguang must have just had dinner with others and were walking back together.

Tang Shijin hesitated when he thought of the story told by Jiang Hu.

When she has a "favor" like this, she usually chooses to give it a gift. If the person listens, it is just a sign of affection. If the person doesn't listen, she doesn't care about it.

So she told Hua Lang, caught up a few steps, and said, "Mr. Han!"

Han Liuguang turned his head, was slightly surprised, cupped his hands and said, "Miss Tang?"

Tang Shijin said: "Is it possible to take a step to speak?"

Han Liuguang didn't ask any more questions, so he talked to those people, then followed her a few steps to the side and said, "Tang Xiaoniang, my friend has made an agreement with his employer and will be coming over in the next few days."

Tang Shijin said: "There's no rush, the school hasn't been finished yet!"

Han Liuguang hummed and said, "How about I invite Miss Tang to sit in the teahouse?"

"No," Tang Shijin said, "It's getting late, I'll leave after I finish speaking."

Han Liuguang had no choice but to follow. The two of them walked to the foot of a willow tree by the roadside. Seeing no one around, Tang Shijin asked him: "Next year is the time for the National Examination. Will Mr. Han go to Beijing for the National Examination?"

Although Han Liuguang didn't know why she asked, he still replied: "Yes."

Tang Shijin said: "I want to ask Mr. Han a question. If you feel embarrassed, don't answer it."

Han Liuguang nodded, and she said: "I heard that Han Juren was engaged to someone before. I wonder if he has not married for many years because he has never forgotten her?"

Han Liuguang raised his head in surprise.

Her expression was serious, and she was definitely not trying to pry.

Han Liuguang hesitated for a moment, then said: "That's absolutely not the case! I didn't have much contact with that person before we got engaged. Her family took the initiative to do this, but afterwards they broke up the marriage for no reason, and the whole family acted as if they were afraid of my entanglement.

I can't even remember her face now, but I can't forget the feeling of shame. How can I not marry her because of her?"

He looked at her: "I wonder why Miss Tang is asking this?"

Tang Shijin asked: "Mr. Han, does he know where she went?"

Han Liuguang said: "I don't know anything."

Tang Dynasty Jin said: "She went to the capital and recognized her ancestors. Her family background is very prominent."

Han Liuguang said: "No wonder!"

Tang Shijin said warmly: "Mr. Han, maybe I am unfounded. You have to take the general examination, and then the palace examination. If you are on the list, it may be spread to her ears. If there is a chance to meet then, Tang has something to say

I would like to advise...Mr. Han can treat you coldly or ignore him, but you must not express your contempt and disgust in words, let alone express it with your mouth."

Han Liuguang was stunned: "Why?"

"Things have changed, and no more talking will help. The most important thing is, Mr. Han, the situation is stronger than others. Even if you win the first prize, you are just a sixth-grade official. Others can kill you with one hand, so

, after more than ten years of hard work, it should not be ruined by a moment of enthusiasm."

She paused and looked at his expression: "I know you scholars have your own character, but Mr. Han, whether you want to honor your ancestors or make decisions for the people, you must at least become an official first, right? Or do the worst.

I plan, no matter what, you still have your mother here, so you should save your own life."

To save his life? Han Liuguang hesitated to speak.

Tang Shijin continued, "When Master Jinyi Weijiang asked me what to do with County Magistrate Lin, I said he should be kept."

Han Liuguang was slightly surprised.

Tang Shijin said: "I say that even though he has all kinds of bad qualities, he is good at being a coward. Otherwise, what if the next one he gets in exchange is a tyrannical man who is a fishy countryman? Which of the two evils is the lesser?

!! Therefore, if Han Juren can become an official, even if he can influence the emperor even a little bit in the Hanlin Academy, it will be a blessing to the world; or if he is appointed as an official in one place, even if he is half better than Lin County Magistrate, it will be a blessing to the people of that place."
