Chapter 52 Dating, Mingli Academy
Jiang Baiye endured it for a few more days, almost driving himself crazy, from body to heart.
Fortunately, these days, Ronghuafugui followed him to the mountains every day, and gradually became familiar with the route. Not to mention, Jiang Baiye saw several wild beasts that he encountered during the period.He stared at it every day.
The workshop started slowly, and the helpers in the village gradually got used to it.
In addition, his white fungus was almost sun-dried and could be sold. Jiang Baiye found a reason, came up with an idea, and immediately invited Lu Lizhi to Fucheng.
Now, even his parents can't say anything.
Lu Lizhi, who had been studying behind closed doors for several days, was finally about to go out again, and there was nothing unusual about his cold face.
"Li Zhi, haven't we seen each other for a few days?" Jiang Baiye frowned slightly, wanting to kiss and hug, and to smell his wife's fragrance.
Lu Lizhi, "?"
Aren't we able to see him every day? It's just that he is busy and he doesn't have leisure time. The time we spend together is very short, and occasionally he misses him by accident. It's just that Lu Lizhi didn't take the initiative to stop him.
He lowered his eyes, looked a little secretive, and got into the car.
"If you don't hurry up and leave, you won't be able to come back in the evening if you delay!" Seeing him whimpering, He urged.
Jiang Baiye's black eyes lit up, wouldn't that suit him?It just so happened that he did have something to tell Li Zhi.
Lu Lizhi sat in the car and looked at the pile of herbs piled up in the corner, exuding a faint bitter smell, just like his heart at this moment.
Jiang Baiye originally wanted to say a few words to him, but thinking of today's plan, he couldn't hear clearly under the bumpy vehicle, so he raised his whip to speed up.
When we arrived at Huichun Hall, it was only around 1:00 in the morning.
Jiang Baiye originally thought that Lu Lizhi would stay in the car, but as soon as he parked the car, he got down and stood under the tree waiting for him. His upright and elegant figure is really pleasing to the eye!
Jiang Baiye's inexplicable worries and irritability disappeared in an instant, and he happily brought down some prepared medicinal materials, "Let's go, this time I should be able to exchange a lot of money."
He didn't sell the white fungus to Dr. Sun's pharmacy, because he mainly sells medicinal materials for common people, and the white fungus has to be sold to wealthy families to make money, otherwise it can't be regarded as "good medicine" in the eyes of Doctor Sun.
The facts were exactly as he expected, when the people in Huichun Hall saw his tremella, their voices were broken, "This, this is also from Daheng Mountain!?"
"So many? How come there are so many of them, and each one is so beautiful!" Dr. Meng also took a look at it, but his temperament was somewhat similar to Dr. Sun's, otherwise he wouldn't have become a close friend,The heart for the pursuit of "commercial value" is not strong.
Otherwise, Jiang Baiye could have artificially grown wild white fungus and mass-produced it, but he didn't intend to do so, so as not to make himself look like a philistine businessman, and make several doctors feel uncomfortable.
But the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall and the two stewards who came here to check the accounts were so happy that they couldn't wait to spin around, "This is an extremely rare and precious white fungus on the market! It's still plump and in excellent condition. How do you plan to sell it?"
"How did you collect it?" Jiang Baiye was uncertain.
Apparently, they had been ordered by the He family before, and they didn't lower the price to him. They gave him a sincere price, "This kind of quality is the best and the largest one is ten taels, and this kind of smaller five taels is not very expensive.A complete three taels, but if it is fresh, the value will be higher!"
"Fresh ones are not easy to keep, and they will deteriorate after a long time and cause problems when eating."
"It's true, otherwise, why would the price be so expensive?" Those noble people think that eating fresh food is good, and the price is not because of the psychological satisfaction that is difficult to obtain, so as to show their status.
But those who know how to do it know that what they do doesn't affect anything, they put it in a box, and they can double it and sell it to those dignitaries.
Jiang Baiye brought twenty large ones, more than thirty medium ones, and a dozen small ones. These were picked by the rich and powerful, and they were sold for a total of four hundred taels in one go.
Dr. Meng watched from the side, feeling that the money came too easily, which made people's blood spurt, doubting whether Jiang Baiye would be able to hold on to this temptation, and would only focus on this in the future.
At this moment, Jiang Baiye opened another bag, which instantly shocked him!
"Hey, these medicines... didn't I mention them to you last time?" The old man regained his spirits and began to check them out.
"This is also the first batch of medicine we have made. Please hold your hand and see how it goes." Jiang Baiye said with a smile.
"Does it need to be said!" Dr. Meng looked back and forth to taste, sniffed and pinched some to taste for himself, and nodded, "It's better than our own, Mr. Qian and the others have improved their skills with you.Ah, if you say you are the first batch, I will believe you picked the best!"
"It's also a lot of waste."
The two chatted, and the more they chatted, the happier they became. Lu Lizhi stood aside and listened. He was invited by the shopkeeper of Huichuntang to sit down and drink tea, but he shook his head and refused.
At this moment, his whole mind was a little shaken, because of the many details that he had overlooked, those things that he had questioned countless times, but were ignored after being forced into his life by Jiang Baiye's gag.
For example, the knowledge and experience in the industry that Jiang Baiye is talking about at this moment, which he has no way of knowing, seems to be very precious to him.
Although he never concealed his specialness and strangeness from himself...
While talking happily, Dr. Meng suddenly thought of something, "How is your decoction for clearing heart and purging fire? Did you relieve it?"
Jiang Baiye almost choked on his saliva, he said it well, how could he bring up this embarrassing incident, he instinctively looked towards Lu Lizhi, saw that he was looking elsewhere, didn't seem to hear, he was relieved.
Little did he know that Lu Lizhi heard it right, already clenched his fists, and remembered that he had this problem when the two of them went to the doctor together.
He seems to be in desperate need of that.
Jiang Baiye wanted to change the topic, but Doctor Meng said seriously, "This is not something that can be sloppy, otherwise it will easily affect the whole body for a long time..."
If Lu Lizhi's breath is stagnant, will it hurt his body?
Jiang Baiye was nagged by Doctor Meng, so he had no choice but to get his pulse, and the effect of drinking the medicine was naturally much better, making him feel like that worm with his brain on it.
It was only because of that one person that he had such a strong reaction, okay?
Otherwise, he is just a monk with a pure heart and few desires.
In the end, Dr. Meng said in a commonplace way, "It's better to relieve it as soon as possible..."
Jiang Baiye, "..."
The finished batch of medicine was sold for another one hundred taels because the efficacy of the medicine looked good. Jiang Baiye got five hundred taels of silver notes and put down four hundred taels.
"This is the money to buy the four people who are rich and honored. You can help me pass the message by the way. Thank you, Mr. He, He Steward, and the others for providing them. It's very worry-free!"
Jiang Baiye originally wanted to ask Mr. He how they were thinking, but this matter cannot easily be explained to outsiders.
Before leaving, Jiang Baiye thought of something again, and excitedly dragged Lu Lizhi to the courtyard of Huichuntang, "Look, Wangcai and Dahuang have a baby."
Lu Li, who was thinking about something, was taken aback for a moment, and saw that the little bitch, who was still very proud, was very docile at the moment, with a bulging belly, obviously, as Jiang Baiye had expected, he had been bred successfully.
Lu Lizhi felt a bit indescribably complicated and embarrassed, and inexplicably connected himself with this little bitch for a moment.
It seems that sooner or later he will be succeeded.
This made him feel anxious again, obviously he had already thought about it at the beginning, as long as he had this value, even if he was used by him, he would be willing.
"Li Zhi?" Jiang Baiye sensed something was wrong with him.
Lu Lizhi shook his head, and walked out in a hurry, but his heart felt like a knife was piercing him. He comforted himself that this was not the case, and at the same time remembered that since the first meeting, this person approached him step by step as if he had a plan...
When Jiang Baiye brought him near Yongyuan Bookstore, Lu Lizhi shook his head again. He didn't have anything else to do when he came to Fucheng, he just wanted to find out some truths.
Jiang Baiye suddenly found out that he came here specially to accompany him, he was surprised, and then he was overjoyed, "Li Zhi, you are so kind! It's still early, why don't we go on a date?"
Dating?
Jiang Baiye took him to stop at the entrance of a crowded restaurant. It was noon, and there were a lot of customers. Fortunately, Jiang Baiye had made preparations earlier and directly reported Ding Yue's name.
"Guest officer, please go upstairs, the best private room on the second floor, this is the best place to listen to storytelling!" Xiaoer was attentive, offered all kinds of high-quality melon and fruit snacks, and ran to serve teawater.
Lu Lizhi was still in the fog, and was dragged by Jiang Baiye to sit on the railing, and then he heard an old man in a long gown slapped him awake on the platform built below, with a folding fan in his other hand, and he didn't open it.At that time, he began to talk about all kinds of anecdotes and strange things interestingly.
Lu Lizhi's attention was gradually diverted and he listened intently.
In fact, the old man talked and sang, his voice cadenced and faltered, grabbing people's attention, and gradually drawing out the wonderful and exciting stories of the well-known character they had never heard of.Everyone is worried or happy...
Everyone couldn't help applauding when they heard the highlights, and they didn't even care about the food. Many people who came here came here just for the storytelling.
After finishing the first half of the speech, the old gentleman stopped to drink water to moisten his throat, and everyone's voices gradually came back. When talking about the stories just now, some rich children gave the old gentleman a reward.
At this time, Jiang Baiye's gentle voice rang in his ears, "After reading the book for so long, I have to come out to relax occasionally."
He couldn't help brushing a strand of long ink-like hair that fell from his sideburns.
Lu Lizhi reacted abruptly, and avoided it lightly, with complicated emotions coming up again.
Almost, almost soaked in a honeypot by him again.
Jiang Baiye didn't notice his avoidance because he didn't show any traces, and looked down with burning eyes, "Say, how about giving your book to such an old gentleman to comment on books?"
Lu Lizhi is not stupid, he understands everything, and knows that there is a lot of money in it.
"Nowadays, Mr. Pingshu tells all the rumors and stories that he inquired about or made up by himself. There are not many exciting ones, so often an attractive story is repeated many times, and everyone gradually gets tired of listening to it."
"If you authorize your storybook to Mr. Pingshu, those illiterate merchants, and even many ordinary people, more people will know you, Lord Qingyuan, and know the characters and stories you write!"
"Of course, the money should also be considerable." Jiang Baiye said proudly, "After all, your words are too exciting!"
There is no creator who does not want his writing to be known by more people, and Lu Lizhi is no exception. Most importantly, he also needs money, not to be supported by Jiang Baiye.
He lowered his eyes, unable to hide his excitement, while feeling that there was nothing he could do with this person, he should be angry, but at the same time, he was faintly wary of his unstoppable sinking.
It seems that if he is not vigilant, he will fall violently.
"I'm going to talk to shopkeeper Ning in the afternoon?"
Lu Lizhi wanted to come by himself, he was already so busy, there was no need to bother him.
Seeing him shaking his head for the first time today, Jiang Baiye also realized what he was resisting. Just as he was about to grab his hand and talk about the book, Lu Lizhi quickly pulled it back and looked behind him.
Xiao Er led the two of them to this side.
It was Ding Yue who booked the private room for him, and his son, Ding Lihui, who was studying in the Mingli Academy, was also a boy and was about to take the hospital examination.
Ding Lihui was still a little reluctant, "Father, why did you come to this kind of place?"
"Hush!" Ding Yue reminded him, and hurriedly brought him to meet Jiang Baiye.
Ding Lihui's eyes widened, "Huh? Lu Lizhi?"
He also participated in the children's test in the same year, and he was the head of the case in the previous two rounds. How could Ding Lihui not know him, but before he had time to express himself, his father held his head and saluted Jiang Baiye.
Ding Lihui was confused and wondered how Lu Lizhi knew his father's employer and sat quite close to him.
Lu Lizhi didn't know Ding Lihui, but he recognized his school uniform.
Don't look at him as if he only knows how to bury his head in his books, but the outside world, especially Yifu, still pays attention to the big and small matters of the imperial examination.
Otherwise, people won't even know what happened if they got qualified for the imperial examination.
Fortunately, the last time he met with Yan Zhifu, he learned about Mr. Xinxue Dao from him, and he was sure that he would refer to it smoothly, and naturally he would not suddenly attack later, or where would he put those officials who allowed him to take scientific examinations?
As long as you can refer to it smoothly, everything is fine, except...
"I heard that to take the entrance examination, you children have to guarantee each other. It seems that there is still one missing?" Jiang Baiye said.
"How do you know?" Ding Lihui was still a little embarrassed, suddenly raised his voice, and was hit by his father again, "No rules, no rules!"
Naturally, it was Jiang Baiye who inquired about it. He knew that Lu Lizhi still lacked a guarantor for the child, but it would be fine if he added five child guarantors.
It's just that he didn't expect that it was quite a coincidence that Ding Yue's son was quite unpopular in the school. After all, Mingli School was full of rich kids., was excluded everywhere in the school.
After a lot of hard work, only found a few classmates who were also poor or excluded by those people as guarantees, but there was still one person missing.
At this time, Lu Lizhi seemed to realize something, looked at Jiang Baiye, and Ding Lihui also looked over, blushing, "I, we will find it, we can't fail to take the imperial examination because of this..."
When Ding Yue learned about this, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "Then what should we do?"
Ding Lihui suddenly looked at Lu Lizhi with bright eyes, but then he felt a little lost. Someone like Lu Tongsheng might have been taken the initiative to find him long ago.
And once they get involved with their small group, they will only suffer more exclusion and ridicule.
Lu Lizhi felt that everything was just right, he took a deep look at Jiang Baiye, got up and walked towards Ding Lihui.
Jiang Baiye found that his glance was particularly meaningful, which made him a little confused, did he think that his hands were inserted too long?
After all, without himself, he can solve every problem very well, but he still can't help it...
I want to make him suffer less suffering and setbacks.
Jiang Baiye was feeling a little uneasy, and Ding Lihui whispered uncertainly, "You, you mean, you can guarantee each other with us?"
Lu Lizhi nodded. This person knew him, but he didn't have the slightest prejudice against him. That's enough!
But when he thought of whose handwriting it was, Lu Lizhi felt that Jiang Baiye was really familiar with him in every way...
Ding Lihui almost wept with joy, but he thought of something, and was about to explain to Lu Lizhi what terrible things might happen to him when he joined his small group, when there was a burst of talking and laughter behind him, he was so startled that he rushed over quickly, and there was no one left.Close the door and close it.
There was quite a commotion, and the students from the Mingli School who were about to enter the private room next door were surprised, "Huh? Then the one who passed by just now was someone from our school?"
"Why do I look a bit like that little fat guy Ding Lihui?"
Ding Lihui clenched his fists, his face flushed with anger, it's just that his face is a bit round, so he's not fat!
Ding Yue was about to teach him that there was no big or small, when there was a knock on the door, so frightened that Ding Lihui almost bounced it away, and then blocked it with all his strength.
"Hey, it really is him!"
"How is it possible, this private room is not cheap, he deserves it?"
"That's right." The people outside walked away laughingly, without knocking on the door again, but Ding Yue was so angry that he wanted to settle accounts with these people, "How could there be such vicious people, and they provoked them!"
"Father, your employer is still here, don't make trouble!" Ding Lihui tried his best to stop him.
Jiang Baiye finally knew why he got into such a miserable situation, he was more timid than his father, if he just kept avoiding and giving in, he would only be bullied even worse.
But before he could think of a way to vent his anger on their behalf, Xiaoer brought another person over. It was Zhang Huichun Tang shopkeeper whom he had just met not long ago, and he looked quite anxious.
"Master Jiang Fang, our master and the second young master are in a hurry to find you!"
"You guys eat first, don't wait for me." Jiang Baiye and Dr. Meng chatted here unintentionally before, but he didn't expect them to come here in a hurry, it must be a big deal.
Lu Li subconsciously got up and went with him, but was held down by him, "Sorry, I couldn't accompany you well, you can talk to Ding Lihui and the others."
Although Lu Lizhi was worried, he had no choice but to nod, and only waited for him to come back to tell himself, and how much did he know about himself...
When Jiang Baiye left with shopkeeper Zhang, he heard the commotion in the private room next door, and gave a silver ingot to the waiter beside him, "You don't need to deliberately close the door when the food is served, and then all the good dishes in your restaurant will be brought up, by the way,Can I invite the old man who reads the book to come and give us a private review?"
Xiao Er looked at the big silver ingot in front of him, and nodded excitedly without thinking, "Yes, guest officer, of course!"
Jiang Baiye chuckled, and gave him another reward, "I hope there will be no mistakes."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, guest officer, I promise to take care of it for you!" The little girl was also a smart person, and instantly understood his intentions.
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Jiang Baiye walking and ordering people to do things, and he was calm and composed, but he was soothed.
"What the hell is going on?"
"The owner of the Shanyitang is here..."
Soon, Lu Lizhi felt Jiang Baiye's tricks, money can turn ghosts, not to mention the Mr. Pingshu, even the shopkeeper of this restaurant came to serve them in person, one after another, all of them first.watching them.
In addition, Xiaoer got a lot of benefits from Jiang Baiye, shouting in his mouth, with a courteous face, from downstairs to upstairs, many people knew that there was a distinguished guest in this private room.
The group of students in the private room next door were naturally also alarmed. They wanted to listen to a storytelling, but unfortunately, the session had just ended, so they had to wait.
As a result, Mr. Pingshu was directly called to the next door.
They hadn't heard of this rule before, and they were feeling disappointed, and when they wanted to leave, the younger brother who fawned on the students who took the lead ran out to inquire about the news, and saw Ding Lihui, whom they had just laughed at, facing the crowdEat and drink with the sumptuous dishes that can hardly fit on the table!
Next to him was a man with an extremely outstanding appearance, who was also the object of their contempt and contempt.
Lu Lizhi!
What was even more exaggerated was that Xiaoer was serving Bucai next to him, and Mr. Pingshu had set up the table inside and was about to give a lecture.
I'm going, are they dreaming, why are the two people who shouldn't be here the most here?
"What's going on?" Lu Qinghong, whom they vaguely regarded as the boss, came out, saw this scene, frowned instantly, and reprimanded, "Such behavior is too selfish! So many people are waiting to listen to the storytelling, but they are taken over by themAlready!"
The shopkeeper of the restaurant passed by here, just heard this sentence, and quickly appeased a few people, "It's because everyone has heard a story, and now they are either eating or have already left. No, the money they gave is enough... I hope all students understand, we do business..."
He showed a embarrassed expression, a group of students snorted, and the person standing next to Lu Qinghong snorted angrily.
"Does that mean that we have given enough money, and we can ask Mr. Pingshu to come and talk to us alone?"
This person was Jiang Yueming's former friend, Yu Zhijie, and he suspected that Yueming might have had an accident because of Lu Lizhi, but he didn't expect that he would dare to come out blatantly, deliberately coming to find fault with them!
"How much silver they give, we double it!"
"Twenty taels." Xiaoer interjected beside him, but he actually didn't have twenty taels, but he agreed to Jiang Baiye, and the guest still left with the people from Huichun Hall of the He family, thinking in his heart that such a person should not be offendedup!
The shopkeeper of the restaurant gave him a dark look, but he didn't deny it. He mainly wanted to have more money, and if it was doubled, it might be even more.
However, he obviously overestimated these students.
"Two, twenty taels to listen to a storytelling? Are you crazy!" Yu Zhijie blurted out, his face flushed immediately, and he looked at Lu Qinghong helplessly.
However, Lu Qinghong couldn't afford forty taels for a while. This Yu Zhijie, who slapped his face swollen to pretend to be fat and even hurt him, but if it was more than twenty taels, he could still take it out, although he thought it was not worth it.
"Forget it, I'm not interested in these storytelling, I might as well go back and write more story books." He said proudly, he didn't even need lunch, and left directly.
The other students were stunned for a moment, then remembered something, and deliberately raised their voices towards Lu Lizhi and the others.
"What's the point of listening to the storytelling a hundred times? Chen Zhima rotten millet is told upside down, and those who don't know it are so strange! We have Mr. Qingyuan by our side, and we have endless new stories every day..”
Lord Qingyuan himself, "..."
