Quick Wear: Male Match Ignore

The price of the five agate stones is much lower than that of the finished products.

"Mr. Lin, you need to ask a jade master to carve them. The carving fee is not low, so the price of the raw stones is much lower than that of the finished products, but the purple and green colors are very rare."

"So you look at these three pieces, each for 70 taels of silver, and the remaining two pieces for 50 taels of silver, a total of 310 taels of silver, how about it?"

While speaking, he pointed at the purple, green, and purple-green agates.

So he was still able to take out the money, which was indeed the nature of a businessman, just as the saying goes, the businessman's mouth is a lie.

"Okay."

Lin Zixuan didn't care much and echoed.

There were a total of 1,110 taels of silver. The store didn't have that much cash, so he asked the shopkeeper for 1,000 taels of silver notes and 110 taels of cash.

Putting the silver notes and silver in his pocket, Lin Zixuan said goodbye to the shopkeeper and left.

After leaving Zhenbaozhai, Lin Zixuan walked to the alleys on the street and turned left and right. After he found no one following him, he put the money in his pocket into the system space.

In another year and a half, it will be the imperial examination. In the original plot, Lin Zixuan did not participate in this imperial examination, but participated in the imperial examination four years later. (The imperial examination is held every three years)

This time, Lin Zixuan plans to take the initiative and participate in the imperial examination one year later.

The few things he sold this time were small things in the system space and the portable world, which were really worthless.

There were too many glass jades, mutton-fat white jade, various high-quality gems, and even too many spirit stones in his system space.

That is, in order to save money for the trip and make the money visible, he sold a few small things so that he could legitimately take out space materials.

When he returned to the small courtyard where he lived, he saw a tall and elegant middle-aged man walking towards him.

That was the headmaster of Hanchen Academy where he studied, Li Ci, who was 38 years old this year, a scholar, and also his teacher.

It was not an ordinary teacher-student relationship, but a deeper one, the kind of apprenticeship.

"Zixuan, how is living here? Are you used to it? If you are not used to it, tell the teacher or the teacher's wife."

Li Ci looked at Lin Zixuan lovingly and asked.

"Teacher, I am used to living here. I just walked by the river for a while to relax."

This disciple is a genius in reading, and he has been studying hard on weekdays. Li Ci has seen all of this.

With such talent and willingness to study hard, he knows that this disciple will go further than him in the future.

He often thought that it would be great if he had a daughter. Maybe he and Zixuan could become in-laws in the future. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a close relationship?

Unfortunately, he only had one son. He didn't like to study since he was young, but liked to play with swords and guns. So he asked someone to teach him martial arts. He joined the army a few years ago and is still on duty in the army, so they can't meet.

After giving birth to a son, the master's wife experienced a cold and fell ill. It was difficult for her to have children in the future.

So he also treated Lin Zixuan as his son.

"Zixuan, come with me to the study. I have something to discuss with you."

After Li Ci finished speaking, he led him to the study.

When they arrived at the study, Li Ci asked him to sit next to him, and asked after a while: "Zixuan, the provincial examination will be held in more than a year. Do you plan to participate?"

In the plot, the original body was not well prepared for the content of the provincial examination. In order to get a good ranking in the provincial examination, he decided not to participate in this provincial examination.

Of course, Li Ci was also afraid that he would not get a good ranking in the provincial examination or would be directly eliminated, which would further hurt his self-esteem, so he quite agreed with his decision.

"Teacher, I want to participate in this provincial examination."

"Only through practice can we recognize our own shortcomings and make better progress."

"Besides, students study hard, just to participate in the provincial examination to prove themselves." Lin Zixuan said firmly.

Li Ci listened to his student's answer and was still quite surprised: "You know that your current knowledge still has room for improvement, why not wait a little longer? Be fully prepared and compete for the first place."

"Teacher, I want to verify what I have learned in my heart, which has nothing to do with the ranking."

"I hope you agree!"

Lin Zixuan bowed quickly and saluted with both hands.

"Okay, okay!"

After hearing these words, Li Ci was moved by his sincerity and gave up the idea of ​​letting him wait for another term.

"Xuan'er has a sincere heart and lofty ambitions. As a teacher, I will support him."

Li Ci narrowed his eyes, nodded with satisfaction and stroked his beard.

Li Ci had high expectations for Lin Zixuan, otherwise he would not have named him "Xiang Yu".

", hoping that he can be firm in his original intention, have lofty ambitions, and achieve great things.

But in the original plot, Lin Zixuan was falsely accused of cheating, and Li Ci had asked his classmates for help, but he was just a juren, and his position was just an ordinary academy principal, the result was obvious.

Under the attack of the Ninth Princess, Li Ci's family was not spared.

But he was just suppressed, not killed, so that he knew how powerful it was and retreated when he knew it was difficult.

After all, he is also a juren, and he has some friends in the court. As long as you don't cause trouble, why bother.

"Teacher, I have memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, and I am quite familiar with the format and writing style of policy essays. I have also read a lot of history books and unofficial history, but because of my shallow knowledge, my policy essays are still insufficient."

"It is March now, and there is still about a year and a half before this provincial examination. I want to travel outside for a year to increase my knowledge and improve my policy essays, so as to prepare for the provincial examination in August next year. "

After listening to this, Li Ci turned around and took out a few books from the bookcase, put them on the table and said, "Xuan'er, these books are the notes of great scholars that I have collected. They can be of great use to you. Don't fall behind in your studies on the way."

"Thank you, teacher."

Lin Zixuan put away the books silently.

"Xuan'er, when are you going to leave?"

Li Ci asked.

"Teacher, I have decided to leave for the trip tomorrow. I hope you and your wife take good care of your health. "

Lin Zixuan replied.

In the afternoon, when the master's wife heard that he was going to travel the next day, she took him to the clothing store to buy a few clothes. Time was too tight and she didn't have time to make them herself.

She also stuffed him with twenty taels of silver for the money he spent on the road. You have to know that in this city, an ordinary farmer's family of six or seven people only earns three or four taels of silver a year.

Twenty taels of silver is really a lot. Besides, as the top scholar, he can get four taels of silver every year. Although he uses most of it to buy books and four treasures of the study, there is still a surplus.

Lin Zixuan did not refuse. Although this money is not worth mentioning to him, it is naturally different with the feelings of the teacher and the master's wife in it. .

In the original plot, it was because Teacher Cheng and his wife loved him so much, and were closer to him than their own son, and were willing to spend money on him, otherwise Lin Zixuan would not have the conditions to study, buy books, and continue to participate in the imperial examinations.

An ordinary book costs at least one or two silver coins, not to mention the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as history and miscellaneous books.

It is difficult for ordinary farmers to support a scholar, and even if they can, their lives will not be easy.

If you want to reduce the cost of reading for people, unless the printing technology...

He is still too weak now, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run.

The two looked at his gradually receding back, stood at the door, and did not leave for a long time.
