Chapter 5
Qian Yuanwai is a shrewd businessman. He started from buying and selling grain, and his business prospered all the way. At the age of knowing his destiny, he became the richest squire in Fengshou Township.His youngest son is the most educated one in the Qian family, and he was selected as a scholar before reaching the weak crown. Unfortunately, he suffered from a serious illness the year before last, so he missed Chunwei.This time, Gewu Hall set up a special examination room, and Young Master Qian insisted on giving it a try, which gave Zhong Wan a chance.
"One hundred steamed buns, one hundred monks, three big monks, no competition, three junior monks, one, big and small monks, how many?" Zhong Wan adopted the sea of questions tactic, asking the Qian family members to do the math that they could find on the market. I found all the books, and with the help of Mr. Qian, I understood the meaning of the ancient prose questions, and then solved the questions with modern mathematical solutions.
Young Master Qian was full of doubts at first.Although Zhong Wan was able to answer questions fluently when discussing the Dao with Master Qian, his ability to understand the test questions was really not flattering.
"Mr. Qian, I want to teach you a brand new algorithm for this question." Zhong Wan said with a serious face, "This algorithm is called solving equations."
After listening to what is an unknown sequence equation, the young master Qian tried to draw inferences about the next topic.
"Master Zhong, the solution to the equation is amazing!" Young Master Qian almost cried with joy, "This is similar to the straight division method in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", but it is more concise and subtle."
During the two-month cramming and day and night brushing questions, Mr. Qian quickly grew into the big Chen Dynasty mobile arithmetic question bank, and achieved good results in the examination room.Zhong Wan retired from his career, and he wanted to find a leisurely place to farm and keep healthy.It's not that he has Tao Yuanming's indifferent ambition of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely", but the reason why he traveled to this world in the first place made him more open-minded.
This matter is quite foolish to say, Zhong Wan was in a panic during the summer vacation when he was a junior and was promoted to a senior.One day when the family was away, he went to the study to find a book to read. He wanted to get his favorite martial arts novel in the past, but he saw a new book on the desk that he had never seen before. The plastic paper on the book website is thickly wrapped, it is estimated that his father bought it online.
Zhong Wan unpacked it and found that the book was packed in a butterfly. The yellowed cover, the vertical title, and the rough texture all showed the identity of the book as an ancient book.Zhong Wan had just read a topic, and turned a page cautiously, suddenly saw the white light in the book soaring and blinding, and then came to his senses, lying in the haystack beside the outer road of Fengshou Township.He only remembered that the book was called "Country Anecdote". According to the situation when he traveled, he probably transmigrated into a book.
However, he neither knows the plot of the book nor the name of the main character. The only thing he can be sure of is that the book must be based in the countryside.
Don't think about it, this is definitely this farming text!
It’s just that Zhong Wan didn’t expect his farming career to start so miserably. Before he met the protagonist, he was dispatched by Qian Yuanwai to a fruit forest where people were hanged and nothing was planted. Land of good wheat.
Thin arms couldn't twist his thighs. Although Zhong Wan had seen through Yuan Wai Qian's true nature as a profiteer, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and try.I don't know if it's the people in the village who are farming in the wrong way, or he was cheated by the author of "Anecdotes in the Countryside". In short, Zhong Wan's farming process has been going smoothly. The wheat in the fields is better than the pears grown on the trees. No one else is better, even the poultry that has recently been bred is so good.
But a profiteer is a profiteer, and Qian Yuanwai cheated him so much, yet he had the audacity to come to him.
Qian Yuan pretended to bow, "Master Zhong, don't come here unharmed."
Master Zhong?Li Xingchui turned his head and glanced at Zhong Wan suspiciously, such an ignorant and stupid follower could bear the name of master, this Yingman village is really a remote place.
Zhong Wan said: "Qian Yuanwai's visit this time must not be to reminisce about the old days."
"I'm here to make a deal with Mrs. Zhong." Qian Yuanwai probably also understood that Zhong Wan was very troubled because he picked up a cat recently.There was no need for him to cover up, he simply cut to the chase.
Zhong Wan sneered, "I don't dare to do business with Qian Yuanwai anymore, whether it's Mr. Ling's arithmetic, or my unsatisfactory Sanhuang, I don't bother Qian Yuanwai."
Unexpected Sanhuang? !
Li Xing shook his ears and squatted on the ground, revealing his noble and glamorous style once again.
The strange thing is that Qian Yuanwai was neither ashamed nor annoyed, he glanced lightly at Zhong Wan, and said, "Forget it, Mrs. Zhong neither wants to, nor should I force others to make things difficult for me. However, if Mrs. Zhong encounters difficulties in the future, I will do whatever I can to help you." But if you visit the Qian Mansion, I will never ignore it."
Zhong Wan's heart skipped a beat, until Qian Yuanwai left with his servants, he still stood there in thought.
Yuanwai Qian meant that he had something in his hands?
"I don't know how powerful the members of this dynasty are. Can they just crush a small villager to death? Sanhuang, why didn't you just snatch you away? There are so many others, and I can't resist. Could it be that the county Ling is a good and honest official, if I go to the Yamen to sue, can he uphold justice for me?"
Li Xing, who was squatting on the ground with a concave shape, couldn't help rolling his eyes several times when he heard him ask so many questions in one breath.Doesn't this silly follower know that catching cats casually is to be retaliated by the cat monsters?
Zhong Wan picked up Li Xingchui and walked towards the pigsty, "Forget it, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with soil. Let's go and see my family, Ah Fu and Ah Cai."
Li Xingchui understood now, Zhong Wan only pretended to be awe-inspiring and inviolable in front of others, as he himself said, putting on a noble and glamorous look.In fact, secretly, he is a fool whose mind is thicker than a mallet.
With a silly entourage, the cat owner has to worry more.He also suspects that Qian Yuanwai is uneasy and kind, but the food needs to be eaten bite by bite. The biggest threat now is Lin Yuansen who sneaked into Yingman Village and was called Brother Lin by the greedy Zhong Wan. It took Li Xingchui two days to finally break through. Erwei, barely able to hide his aura, immediately put his tail away, and couldn't wait to follow that kid surnamed Lin.
The dog demon came to Yingman Village to start a job as a hunter. He traveled through the mountains and forests all day long. Li Xingchui followed him nimbly, jumping up and down silently.Lin Yuansen seemed to be totally unaware of his existence, and aimed steadily at the prey grazing not far away with the bow and arrow in his hand. He fired arrows one after another, and the little white rabbit fled quickly in shock.
Lin Yuansen stood there frustrated, and muttered to himself: "Is my archery really that bad? How can I win the champion of martial arts?"
Archery?Martial arts champion?
Among the four major demon clans, cat demons and fox demons make friends, and dog demons and tiger demons get together. Therefore, since Li Xingchui was born, he has only had contact with his peers from the fox demon clan, and he has no understanding of the rules of the dog demon clan. do not understand.
The monsters of the cat monster clan become adults at the age of 20. After they become adults, they can travel out of the monster world and experience the secular life.Among them, there are monster beasts who are nostalgic for the mortal world and never return to the monster realm, and there are also monster beasts who come back depressed and stay behind closed doors ever since.
Li Xingchui can be regarded as a strange flower in it.He is talented and intelligent, and since he was a child, he has determined to go to the world, and he will never return home in disgrace.At that time, he heard that there is a thing called the imperial examination that is very popular in the secular world, and the emperor relies on this thing to select his courtiers. In other words, if you take the imperial examination, you can meet the most noble people in the secular world.
As a nine-tailed cat demon, Li Xingchui wanted to compete with those who stood at the top of all races.
Probably Lin Yuansen had the same thoughts as him, so he wanted to try martial arts.
Li Xingchui followed for another two days, seeing that Lin Yuansen had been practicing archery in the mountains and forests, so he decided to leave him alone for the time being.
On this day, the Zhong family woke up early in the morning, ready to go to the market to buy fruit trees.Zhong Wan had carefully inquired that Jinzhou, where Fengshou Township is located, was a not-so-rich Zhou town in the Great Chen Dynasty, but Jinzhou was located on an important traffic route, with prosperous commerce and trade.Recently, loquats from the south are especially popular in the prefecture. Unfortunately, this kind of fruit is expensive and has no market. Due to the climate, it can only be transported quickly, and ordinary people have no chance to try it.
Zhong Wan is going to buy two to try first.He had long felt that his luck in farming and raising livestock was very strange. Wheat was okay, but if he could even grow loquats, he would be a golden finger.
Li Xingchui wandered around with Zhong Wan, more and more confused about what he was thinking.He read the regional chronicles all over, and naturally understood that loquats are not viable here, but Zhong Wan wants to do the opposite.Thinking of the wheat flowing with aura in the wheat field, Li Xingchui was speechless.He has never heard of anyone in the world who uses spiritual energy to irrigate vegetation. In this place where spiritual energy is scarce, it is simply reckless.
The two walked to the entrance of the market, only to see a group of people pointing around the bulletin board.Since Zhong Wan came here, he hasn't seen any major events happen. At this time, he was curious and rushed in to watch.
"Yichou in the fifth year of Qingli, at the end of September on the autumnal equinox, and on the fourth day of the lunar month, Li Xingchui, the current scientific researcher, was murdered by a traitor in the Yuci mansion in Kyoto, and was seriously injured and disappeared... Whoever finds Li Xingchui will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!" The tone of the person who read the notice suddenly rose, and the front of the notice board was boiling.
"Who is this Jinke Tanhualang? Why did the Holy One go out of his way to find his whereabouts?"
"I heard that this Li Xingchui is not simple. He answered the palace exam fluently. The Holy One specially invited the adults from the Six Departments to test his knowledge. Even Xu Ge was speechless by his questioning. He has nothing to do with ancient and modern arithmetic and astrology. Unknown!"
Zhong Wan walked out of the crowd holding the little milk cat with only the top of its head exposed, and walked towards the place where the bullock carts were driven in the west of the town, saying to himself: "This book is really hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I don't know if I will have the chance to see it in the future." This talented Tanhualang, how would an ancient schoolmaster read without glasses? Are you lying on the table cross-eyed?"
"Meow!" Li Xingchui popped his head angrily, and bit Zhong Wan's arm through the fabric.He didn't lie on the table and cross eyes!He didn't understand half of what Zhong Wan said, but this didn't stop him from expressing his anger!
The author has something to say: Meow, is someone meowing?
