"Wu Jiang, you take a hundred taels of silver notes and go to the academy to give them to the mountain chief. You are only going to hand over the silver, and you can't say a word more. Do you understand?" Yuzhu called Wu Jiang, gave him careful instructions, and then sent him away.
He went to pay the money.
Hu Fenghui nodded secretly and asked himself, if he was treated so harshly, he really couldn't be so calm and calm, as calm as water.
Originally, Yu Hongtu was somewhat embarrassed. His cousin Zhang Deguang looked down on others and was beaten into a pig's head by the servants of the Yuzhu family. He was a bit embarrassed about his face.
Now, when Yu Hongtu looked at Yuzhu again, apart from admiration, there was no trace of embarrassment in his heart.
This boy will definitely become a great person in the future! Everyone thought of it in unison.
Zha Siting and Qin Benchu had argued several times over the issue of Yuzhu ranking fifth from the bottom. However, he was only the academy's hired teacher, while Qin Benchu was the academy's chief master.
How can the arm be twisted past the thigh? Five
Qin Benchu waited for more than ten days, but did not wait until Yuzhu came to make a noise. He couldn't help but smile, how could such an extremely smart man humiliate himself?
Originally, Qin Benchu admired Yuzhu's talents and ranked him first in the monthly exam. However, the mountain leader Li Yindu rejected Qin Benchu's opinion and insisted on ranking Yuzhu fifth from the bottom.
Li Yindu's reasons are also very good. If Yuzhu becomes the first, it will definitely anger the entire Jiangnan Shilin, and the academy will not be far from closing.
A wise man would not do anything to give up the entire forest of Shilin in the south of the Yangtze River for a big tree belonging to the Banner Man!
Qin Benchu had no choice but to give in and ranked Yuzhu fifth from the bottom against his will.
Not only was the ranking in this month's exam ridiculously low, but one also had to pay one hundred taels of silver, which was simply a huge humiliation.
Qin Benchu expected that Yuzhu would definitely come to make trouble, so he used the topic to his advantage and kicked Yuzhu out of the house, saving everyone from embarrassment in the future.
Unexpectedly, Yuzhu not only did not come to make any noise, but immediately sent someone to pay a fine of one hundred taels of silver.
Qin Benchu's heart was full of emotions, and he could only look up and sigh: Never be his enemy!
Yuzhu acted like a normal person, taking notes in class as usual every day, and after returning home, he would sit in his study and practice calligraphy, completely aloof from the world.
In the next two monthly exams, Yuzhu ranked fifth from the bottom both times, and had to pay a fine of 100 taels of silver both times.
Yuzhu never gnawed a word, handed in money, took class pictures, and was quieter than anyone else.
On this day, Jiangnan Xuezheng He Zichang sent an official on horseback to ask Yuzhu to return to the Xuezheng Yamen in Jurong County to explain.
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile, summoned the chief steward Hu Biao, and ordered him to take people on horseback to Jurong County to set up a front station, or rent three houses respectively to accommodate everyone.
After the news that Yuzhu was leaving spread, everyone was reluctant to leave him. However, joining the imperial examination and becoming an official was a huge matter, related to the future and destiny. No one could persuade him not to leave.
Before leaving, Yuzhu forced five hundred taels of silver to Wu Sidao. In name, this money was not given, but borrowed.
Wu Sidao was grateful and took the initiative to write an IOU, which Yuzhu naturally accepted with a smile.
With so much money, Wu Sidao would not be able to spend it all even if he did not work for ten years as long as he did not spend it lavishly.
"Master, please get on board." Niu Tai squatted on the side of the carriage, already stretching out his hands, ready to hold up Yuzhu's feet.
Yuzhu frowned. Doesn't this really treat a hero as a slave?
No matter how much he follows the local customs, Yuzhu is still the soul of modern people and cannot bear the servitude of too much cannibalism.
"Don't do this kind of thing in the future. You are my Haha Pearl, my partner, and my good brother." Yuzhu turned around and asked someone to bring a long stool. He raised his feet and stepped on the stool.
carriage.
Niu Tai looked at Yuzhu stupidly, always feeling that his master did not look like a pure Manchu noble.
"Boy, why are you so stupid? The second master has already sat in the car and has been waiting for you for a long time." Baixing was dressed in a smart outfit, with a long bow and quiver on his shoulder, and a long knife hanging on his waist. His whole person was extremely energetic.
of excitement.
Coincidentally, Niutai's attire is almost exactly the same as Baixing's except for the different color of his clothes.
The only difference was that at Niutai's feet lay a giant wolf the size of a pony. The giant wolf's fur was white and flawless, without a trace of color.
The draft horse that was carrying the carriage was so frightened that it kicked its hind legs, snorted, and dropped horse dung. It was obvious that it was extremely frightened.
"Hush..." Niu Tai licked his lips and whistled, "Chi!" Suddenly, a loud chirping sound was heard in the air.
"Wow." A golden eagle with huge wings fell from the sky, swooped down in the air, and landed on Niu Tai's shoulder.
Baixing's eyes widened as he looked at the golden eagle on Niu Tai's shoulder, so greedy that his saliva almost flowed out.
"You told it to let me touch it?" Bai Xing is also a warrior who has hunted black bears. He naturally knows how powerful the golden eagle is.
If the owner of the golden eagle doesn't cover its eyes, whoever dares to reach out and touch it will be blinded by pecks.
Niu Tai was too lazy to pay attention to Baixing. He took out a handful of beef jerky from the leather bag around his waist and fed it to the golden eagle, eating it up.
Suddenly, Niu Tai stretched out his arms and threw it violently. The golden eagle immediately rose into the sky. It only flapped its huge wings a few times before disappearing into the sky.
Yuzhu looked at it with gusto, hey, is this a treasure he picked up by accident?
Most people just watch the excitement and think that the golden eagle is just a rare toy, but Yuzhu thinks very far.
The most critical moment for Kowloon to seize the throne is if Yuzhu is trapped in Sijiu City or Changchun Garden.
This golden eagle, or its descendants, can actually help deliver the message.
Hehe, Niutai, Niutai, he is simply a cheating artifact given to Yuzhu by God!
Unlike ordinary slaves, as long as the Qing Dynasty, there was no precedent for Hahazhu betraying his master.
There is a flesh-and-blood dependence between Haha Pearl and his master.
For example, the crown prince Yinfeng was deposed twice, and the dozen Hahazhu around him would rather have their heads chopped off by Kangxi than betray any of Yinfeng's privacy.
According to Tatar rules, other people's Haha Pearls are the least trustworthy. To put it bluntly, no one would believe Haha Pearls even if they surrendered to their political opponents.
Liu Wu, the second steward, caught Yu Zhu's look and shouted loudly: "I'm on my way."
In this era, when the nobles went out by car, the servants would never dare to say "on the road".
Because, at Caishikou, before the executioners cut off the heads of the condemned prisoners, they would shout loudly: "Please, man, let's get on with it."
The motorcade moved slowly, with Niu Tai riding on a tall horse and tightly protecting the right side of the carriage.
Even though Bai Xing was a bit short-sighted at times, he was still very concerned about protecting Yuzhu from harm.
If Yuzhu is assassinated by a gangster, where can Baixing find such a good apprentice and master?
People's hearts are made of flesh. Baixing has been teaching Yuzhu riding and shooting for so many years, but not only has he not saved a lot of money, he also owes a lot of alcohol debt.
If Yuzhu hadn't helped Baixing pay off the wine debt he owed before the end of each year, he would definitely not be able to get through the new year.
The motorcade had just started and suddenly stopped again. A servant came to report that the gentlemen from the academy had arrived.
(PS: Updates have been added. It’s already two days after the end of the month. Please give all the monthly tickets to Yuzhu.)
