    "You really hit me." Cheng Ping was surprised and exclaimed outside, "Knowing that there is someone behind him, but you still want to offend him like this."

    Later, Dr. Hu was dragged back like a dead dog, and he was dying. It was as miserable as it could be.

    "Anyway, it's all like this if I don't offend. I spent a lot of money, but if it weren't for the blessing of Brother Cheng, I wouldn't have gotten such a chance of revenge." Jiang Baiye said with emotion, after beating himself,The feeling of powerlessness and aggrievedness also dissipated.

    That's called a whole body smooth!

    "Haha, we dare not really decide on this matter..." After all, it was the biggest person in the government office who acquiesced and even pushed behind the scenes. After all, if Dr. Hu was really rescued, that person would also be rescuedThose who slap in the face may be punished.

    Why not take this opportunity to teach yourself a lesson!

    "Then again, it's terrible to offend you." Cheng Ping sighed, but the appreciation in his eyes was even stronger, "You have a ruthless spirit, you really like my appetite!"

    "Thank you for being sensitive, I have a partner."

    "What the hell?"

    "Does my daughter-in-law understand, oh no, Husband, hehe."

    "???" Cheng Ping said to Yuan Erhu, who was also open-mouthed next to him, "Is there something wrong with my ears?"

    "I also seem to have a problem with my ears." As he spoke, he made a gesture of picking it out.

    The other two looked complicated and shocked, "It doesn't seem like there is something wrong with our ears."

    "I'll go, what does this kid mean!? Husband? Man? Man!"

    Jiang Baiye only waved his hands, full of smiles, "I'll treat you to some good wine later."

    "Hey wait, we want to listen to Hanmo Pavilion's storytelling, can you help me order it? We will chip in for you!" For some reason, they always felt that he seemed to be able to do it, so they couldn't help asking.

    In the past few days, they have helped him a lot, repeatedly attacking Jiang Yueming in front of him, making him look like he is neither human nor ghost.

    "Han Mo Pavilion." Jiang Baiye mused.

    "Forget it, we also..." They all knew how difficult it was, so they wanted to give up.

    As a result, Jiang Baiye smiled even more proudly, "That's not easy, I'll book the best seats for you!"

    "Huh?" Before they could continue asking, Jiang Baiye jumped into the carriage, "Wait for my good news."

    "This guy, you've got the best position, right?" Cheng Ping laughed angrily, but couldn't help but look forward to what was going on.

    During this period of time, Mr. Yi's new storytelling has become very popular in Fucheng, but it has suffocated those guys who love to listen to the anecdotes of the world, but they can't even squeeze through the cracks in the door!

    In the prison, Jiang Baiye waved his sleeves and left, but Jiang Yueming was definitely not as "calm" as he appeared on the surface.

    In fact, instead of being calm, he was frightened out of his wits.

    "I could have been released after being locked up for a few years, and I still have my life, but now I'm going to be used as a scapegoat. I feel sorry for you, but you still regard them as your savior..."

    "If you think about it with your toes, you know, if Dr. Hu wants to go out, what process should they go through to steal the day and not be caught?"

    "Resistance? Maybe it will directly commit suicide for you, and you won't even have a chance to struggle!"

    One word at a time, like a sharp knife piercing Jiang Yueming's heart, when he was eager to ask for help, he didn't care about those personal grievances, and told Jiang Baiye everything in one go.

    In the carriage, Jiang Baiye did not drive this time, but sat in the carriage, nodding his fingers.

    The matter of recruiting corvee is not under the jurisdiction of the magistrate, he is busy with many things, and recently he is holding a prefectural examination, so this matter has fallen on Chen Tong's head, and it is estimated that the Shanyitang has almost taken care of it.

    "Unexpectedly, it is not allowed to use silver as a substitute..."

    In fact, it was difficult to use silver as a substitute in the previous life. Unless there was enough silver taels, it would start with twenty taels of head, which is basically equivalent to paying for one's life. Many expropriators abused their power and set prices on the ground, otherwise they would forcefully pull people away.Walk.

    Whoever heard this and didn't think of a way to escape from the army was severely punished and executed in public as an example to others.

    Using silver to serve as a substitute is to use money to recruit other people to serve instead. There are still a lot of people, but the construction of this flood discharge canal is by no means a small project. In the previous life, hundreds of thousands of people were recruited, and most of them were killed or injured. No one was willing to go.Obviously impossible.

    Jiang Yueming, a scumbag in Qingshui Village, actually asked Qin Chunquan to take away all the property in their village, especially himself as a workshop owner. Rich households have higher taxes than others, and then he can swindle a lot of money.

    In this kind of years, there are real landlords and rich households who were cheated out of their money, and finally abandoned their land and didn't want to be taxed. Otherwise, everyone is crazy and wants to go to school. Only when they are scholars can they be exempted from part of the taxCorvée, the higher the fame, the more privileges.

    Or there is another idea - take him and send them all to dig ditches to stop the flood, and then they can find a way to kill him easily.

    "It's really whimsical." Jiang Baiye didn't know what to say about this person, he was no longer a penniless man, so he could let them play with him, okay?

    So knowing their plot, Jiang Baiye waited frankly and peacefully for them to make a move.

    At this time, the carriage stopped at the door of a high-end jade shop, Jiang Baiye touched the five hundred taels of silver in his chest, and coughed lightly.

    This is what he earned by selling the white fungus again, and he can still recall the condemning eyes that Doctor Meng looked at him.

    It seems to be saying, you don't make medicine well, what are you messing with all day long!

    Sure enough, the way to get money quickly is always addictive. Occasionally, he would think about not doing the work, selling all his prescriptions for money, and spending the rest of the time with his wife, isn't it good?

    It's just that before he wakes up, he will dream of his old man chasing and beating him with a broom.

    On the other hand, his parents are also worried all day long, worrying that if he doesn't make any progress, his wife will fly away.

    Jiang Baiye was also a little worried, so in the past few days, taking advantage of not being able to go to Li Zhi's side to disturb his mind, Jiang Baiye solved several things with extraordinary efficiency.

    I don't know if Li Zhi has time to think about him~

    Jiang Baiye was invited into the jade shop because he was well dressed, and there was no scene of looking down on others.

    Assuming that he had some background, he gave him a batch of finely carved jade articles from the town store.

    Bi, Yuan, Huan, Jue... Jade articles of various shapes and uses were presented to him one by one, Jiang Baiye was not very satisfied.

    Either the style is too vulgar, or the color is not good, and some are a little flawed.

    "Guest, the so-called 'no jade can't be made', look at these bird and animal patterns, are they exquisite? This carving is not my fault, only our Hongyi Pavilion can do it!"

    The engraving was really good, but he just couldn't pick out one that he found suitable for a token of love.

    He wanted the effect that would make his eyes shine at the first sight, and Jiang Baiye suddenly believed in this. This kind of jade with eyesight may have spirituality, and it can bless him and Li Zhi's long-term relationship.

    In the past, Jiang Baiye did not engage in these "superstitions" at all, but now he has become a little concerned about these teachings.

    Of course, the best jade shop in Fucheng also has a lot of elegant and beautiful jade ornaments, which makes him think it is very suitable for Li Zhi, but it will not be too late to buy these in the future.

    He has limited funds now, so he wanted to take advantage of Li Zhi's happy mood after passing the exam, and give him a token of love.

    So he didn't find anything satisfactory after looking for a long time, so he planned to leave.

    "Let me go, please let me go." A young man carrying a burden staggered towards the jade shop.

    The shopkeeper who introduced the jade to Jiang Baiye just now was very angry, and slapped him on the head, "Stinky boy, didn't I let you go through the back door!"

    The boy almost stumbled, and the burden on his thin shoulders slipped a little, "The back door is closed and no one is here."

    "Then you won't come to say hello first?" Walking through the front door really affects the business of the store, and it's just this kid who didn't know the rules when he came here.

    The shopkeeper was still lecturing, he didn't know that several stones of different sizes rolled out of the boy's basket just now, and one of them rolled to Jiang Baiye's feet with a thud, just blocking his way.

    Jiang Baiye's eyes lit up!

    When picked it up, it was a rough stone with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters, which is what is called rough emerald stone in modern times.

    "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this?"

    "You want this?" The shopkeeper looked suspicious, "It's useless if you want this. Our Hongyi Pavilion sells handicrafts and carvings. Without these, it's just an ordinary stone. It's useless for you to buy it back."

    The original intention was to let him buy the finished product, but Jiang Baiye caught a loophole, "That is to say, your jade is mainly expensive on the carving?"

    "Of course!" Jiang Baiye said with pride, waiting to persuade him, "The materials are not expensive?"

    The treasurer of the Hongyi Pavilion glared at him, but it is true, these stones are all brought back from the mines in the mountains, and they have not been selected. They roughly know that jade will come out of it, but what kind of jade will come out, people with this visionThere are not many master craftsmen, and both of them are explaining stones for them in the back.

    At this time, there was no concept of "gambling with stones", so the price would not be negotiated to be sky-high. He was willing to sell Jiang Baiye for fifty taels.

    But this shopkeeper is not stupid, no one buys stones from them at all, maybe there is something strange in it.

    He called the two stone-clearing masters and asked them to give them palms, so as not to miss any treasures and sell them at a low price.

    The two tossed and turned but did not see a flower, and were still puzzled, "Why do you suddenly want to buy this rough stone?"

    "I didn't want to buy it. It came to me on its own initiative. I regard it as fate." Jiang Baiye really doesn't understand jadeite and jade, but only knows that jadeite is a kind of jade, and it is also the most precious among jades. It is almost on a par with Hetian jade.However, there are also pros and cons.

    In the end, Hongyi Pavilion was sold to him for fifty taels.

    Jiang Baiye wanted to polish a token of love for Li Zhi himself, but he was afraid that his hand would be damaged, so he bought two more stones, and bought a set of tools for cutting and carving jade ornaments from them at a bargain price.I paid him two hundred taels of silver.

    Not bad, his original budget was around five hundred taels.

    Three pieces of jade are enough for him to make a lot of things, and the price is super high, provided that the things he makes can be shown to others.

    "I hope I can make something decent..."

    There were still three days before Li Zhi's final results in the re-examination and discharge examination, Jiang Baiye did not stop, immediately requisitioned a yard of the He family, and began to practice and polish day and night.

    He Lin was also surprised to see him staying awake in the middle of the night, grinding stones with a lantern in the yard, "Are you crazy, how long will it take to grind?"

    "An iron pestle can be ground into a needle, let alone a stone." Jiang Baiye has strong hands, and he also consulted some experience from the two masters who dissected stones, so even with relatively backward tools, grinding is not too strenuous.

    In just one night, he took off the "coat" of the three stones. Early in the morning, He Lin yawned to watch the excitement, and saw that he was not tired at all after a night, but was extremely excited.

    "What's wrong?"

    "Look at this stone, the one who came to me on its own initiative..."

    "Hiss, it's so green! This color looks very good, you bought it for fifty taels, maybe you can sell it for one thousand taels?"

    "Be bold, it's probably worth two thousand taels." But Jiang Baiye doesn't know how to sell it, he just thinks that this stone is here to repay his kindness, and after just rubbing the outer skin a little, it reveals green eyes everywhere, which is good for even a layman like himkind of water.

    Fortunately, the two master masters who boasted of their rich experience were mistaken.

    His luck is also gone, and this belongs to him and Li Zhi, does it mean...

    "Li Zhi, Li Zhi, you think that the three lives and three generations will have to be tied to me." Jiang Bai Yele planned to use this piece of jade to make a jade pendant, a fan pendant, a finger ring, a seal, a jade hairpin, and a pair of finger rings.A pair of rings as a couple.

    Then, it cleverly divides the areas according to the distribution of jadeite colors. If you don’t understand, Jiang Baiye also knows a little bit, and even knows it without a teacher. How to save materials and make more things is the key.

    The emeralds from the other two stones are not satisfactory, so you can use them to practice first.

    So in the next few days, He Lin saw that he seemed to have lost his soul, and he was all on polishing and carving jade, and he didn't even have the time to talk to himself.

    If the servants hadn't come to remind him to eat, he might not even want to eat.

    "Crazy, crazy, I'm afraid this person has a sweetheart?" He Lin was curious, who could make him crazy like this.

    On the day Lu Lizhi was taking the second exam, he found that Jiang Baiye hadn't come to send him for the exam.

    He was not disappointed, but more of a regret that "he can't be given a title for the time being". Although he still has some psychological shadows about those malicious slanders, at this time he is more concerned about whether Jiang Baiye will be implicated by him.

    If it can be avoided, it doesn't have to make everyone know about the two of them, especially some irrelevant people. Lu Lizhi wanted to keep a low profile, but Jiang Baiye didn't ask more questions, but silently supported and cooperated with him.

    It made Lu Lizhi feel a kind of stealth and emotion as if hiding in a golden house.

    In other words, the golden house hides pride.

    Lu Lizhi planned to treat Jiang Baiye better.

    Before entering the arena, Lu Lizhi couldn't help turning his head, he didn't see anyone, but he saw Mrs. He and the others standing in place and waving at him.

    Lu Lizhi smiled lightly, this time, he will not let them down!

    Turning around, seeing Lu Qinghong who was looking at his side, he walked forward with the same smile.

    How could this still be the restrained and self-sufficient Lu Lizhi?

    Provocation, naked provocation!Lu Qinghong clenched his fists and snorted.

    It wasn't just him, all the candidates from Mingli Academy who were shortlisted were desperately trying to pass the exam.

    If they don’t do well in this exam, they have to go back to the stove and rebuild. On the contrary, if they pass the exam step by step, they can be promoted from Mingli Academy in Xuanhe Mansion to other higher-level academies in their own Lu family.

    Those academies have countless writers and scholars, and there are countless candidates and Jinshi, and even the number one scholar have come to teach, how can we not be yearning!

    The network resources included in it are also a shortcut for every student who enters Beijing to rush for the exam to learn from a teacher...

    In this scene, Tai Song, who was the director of the Provincial Department of Education at any rate, was rarely able to face up to the fact that the provincial school of learning was originally the background board.

    He did not correct the papers for the first round, but he ordered the rankings, including this one, so he was very concerned about that "No. 83".

    In short, every point of his article touched Tai Song's heart. When he read it, he almost lost the dignity and majesty of an imperial envoy, and slapped the table to applaud.

    This is still a short article, if really expand it...

    Tai Song was a little thirsty, this small Xuanhe mansion, such a small courtyard test, unexpectedly such a genius appeared!

    He even wanted to get up from his seat and go down to patrol, and walk up to No. 83 to see how square and flat he is.

    Curious like this.

    Fortunately, after the exam is over, he doesn't need to copy the examinee's papers anymore, he will be able to see this person's handwriting when the time comes, and when the seal is opened, he will know who this person is.

    Referrals, quickly introduce them to your own people, and accept them as students as soon as possible, so as not to be robbed by others!

    But an exam can't explain anything, Tai Song calmed down after thinking about it, maybe it was just a violent play.

    A lot of students are like this. They wrote brilliantly on the topic of appetite, but when it comes to other articles, they reveal many deficiencies and disadvantages.

    Tai Song's mind was in a mess like this, and he didn't know whether he wanted that person to stand out from the crowd, or whether he was sure of his all-time experience.

    Until, before the release time, when the other candidates were still writing hard, a white dress slowly stepped into his eyes.

    Obviously other candidates are also wearing Confucian robes and white shirts, but this person shows a different demeanor.

    After seeing the people below, Tai Song almost thought that he saw the old people.

    But it is so different, younger and more extraordinary.

    He leaned forward slightly and saluted. Instead of saying "Master the examiner, students hand in the paper" like other candidates, he stepped forward silently and handed over his scroll with both hands.

    "You..." Tai Song, who was about to ask him why he didn't speak, suddenly thought of countless things.

    Unable to speak, dumb, Lu Lizhi, who once appealed to the Holy Master to intercede for him, slandered by several students, good Longyang, bad style...

    Looking at the elegant figure below, his eyebrows are lowered and submissive, and he exudes a natural coldness and alienation, and he is not as flattering and flattering to him as the chief examiner like other students.

    The complaints in Tai Song's heart almost reached their peak at this moment.

    Framed, big framed!

    How can such a person who looks like a mountain and flowing water be like Longyang? Longyang is just as good as him!

    It must be jealousy, Tai Song felt a moment of sourness in his heart. Seeing his demeanor and appearance, he thought of his unbeautiful face, which almost caused him to lose the number one spot back then...

    Finally, Tai Song accepted the paper.

    Lu Lizhi left with the yamen servant, he couldn't go out until the time came, but he could just sit aside and be in a daze.

    However, he didn't know that when he handed in the papers all the way and left calmly, the other candidates in the examination room were stunned.

    "Mother, I've only written half of it, what's going on?"

    "Don't panic, I'm the best, wait, where did I write?"

    Soon, other examinees came out one after another, Lu Qinghong fell behind just in case, and when he was queuing up, he saw Lu Lizhi standing in the first place.

    As soon as the gongs and drums sounded, the courtyard examination officially ended, and the dragon gate opened wide, and he walked out first, with a romantic attitude, and his whole body was full of incomparable self-confidence.

    Lu Qinghong looked at his back, slightly absent-minded.

    Yu Zhijie, who followed closely behind, was no exception. Suddenly, he felt that this person's back looked a little good-looking?

    Both men have to admit his charm.

    How many foolish girls will this captivate?

    Lu Lizhi naturally didn't know the influence he had on others, he only knew that Jiang Baiye didn't show up.

    He handed in the paper in such a hurry, why didn't he want to see him as soon as possible.

    These days, it's not just Jiang Baiye who is holding back something, Lu Lizhi, who is so indifferent, always feels that something is missing.

    Carefully set aside emotions that need to be ignited.

    In the end, this person still didn't show up?

    He avoided suspicion too much, he thought.Curling his fingers, he was a little worried if something happened to him.

    Even if Jiang Baiye didn't go into details, the owner of the Shanyitang should not be too obvious about his intentions, don't know what actions he will make.

    Jiang Dazhu walked up to him, seeing him searching for something, he hurriedly said: "Chang Sui has something to do, let us pick you up, do you plan to stay here for a few more days and wait for the announcement, or go home first?"

    Lu Lizhi chose the former, not because he wanted to know the result too much, but because he had some contacts with Ding Lihui and the others, including Mr. Yi, the shopkeeper, and he had to go to greet him.

    Because of Jiang Baiye's influence, Lu Lizhi stepped out of the "cage" he drew to enclose himself earlier than before, walked in front of more people, and had contact and entanglement with them.

    This feeling was not bad, but the person who haunted him the most still didn't show up in the next two days.

    Until this day, when the list was finally released, Lu Lizhi was once again dragged to the bottom of the list to check for himself.

    Yu Zhijie was waiting for him here specially. The revenge of stepping on him last time made him aggrieved for several days. Now that he has the opportunity, he will naturally fight back!

    For this reason, he also specially put on a pair of hard shoes, which would make his soul go to heaven if he stepped on it!

    In the chaos, Yu Zhijie didn't even care much about his own grades. Seeing the appearance of one of Lu Li, he immediately winked at the others.

    All of a sudden, the already crowded crowd became even more chaotic. Ding Lihui took all precautions, but he was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground.

    "what!"

    Seeing that the people behind were about to rush up, Lu Lizhi's face changed, and when he was about to help him, one foot suddenly turned sideways——

    With the stance of crushing him!

    Lu Lizhi's eyes turned cold, aware of some people's conspiracy, but he didn't care to avoid it, he wanted to pull Ding Lihui up to avoid danger.

    He was prepared for the pain that would definitely be excruciating.

    But at this moment, the surroundings were silent for a moment.

    Immediately afterwards, a broad and powerful body appeared behind him, protecting him tightly, and then unceremoniously kicked the person who wanted to do evil into the crowd!

    "Ahhh!"

    There was a sound of exclamation and screams, and the people who fell were all the people who joined forces with Yu Zhijie just now. They were knocked into a ball and couldn't get up for a long time.

    The author has something to say:

    In the end, Jiang Baiye was so ingenious that there was only one piece of material left. Guess what he made.
