After the Demonic Rain, the Tang Dynasty entered a short dry period.

In this kind of weather, the forest is prone to fire.

In the Tang Dynasty, the concept of fire prevention was not strong, and many natural disasters were prevented with hindsight.

Imperial City Shangshu Province.

When Fang Xuanling heard that a large forest in Gyeonggi Province was on fire, he immediately mobilized the Jinwu Guards to go to the rescue.

Fortunately, there were very few casualties.

Just a lot of trees burned.

Fang Xuanling didn't pay much attention.

Naturally, he would not have thought that this fire would set off a crazy growth in the real estate market in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty.

Now the main task of Fang Xuanling, Minister of Secretariat, is to prepare for the upcoming Tibetan mission.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed.

Next, Datang will usher in Autumn.

Although the imperial examination is not perfect yet.

But this is only for poor people.

Because they do not have enough money to support their studies, buy books, and take exams.

Especially coming to Chang'an for the exam.

Not counting the cost of the journey, just living in Chang'an for half a month, the food and accommodation costs are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

There are no officials from a poor family.

At least in the early Tang Dynasty, this sentence was the absolute truth.

But just because the poor families couldn't afford it, it didn't mean that the wealthy families from Shandong's gentry couldn't afford it.

There are seven sects and five surnamed financial groups behind the scenes, and these talented people are not short of money.

These days, more and more talented people are rushing to Chang'an.

The 108 residences in Chang'an are already overcrowded.

Unable to live in a residence, I had to find a way to rent a house.

But I don’t know why.

Recently, renting and buying houses in Chang'an suddenly started to rise at a crazy speed, seemingly overnight.

Inside the Wei Mansion

"Tan'er"

"Tan'er?"

"Tan'er!"

Wei Shuyi called several times in succession, but Tan'er was nowhere to be seen.

After asking, she found out that Tan'er had gone to help.

Li Yi's perfume shop, toilet water shop, and facial mask shop were all opened together.

These days, Tan'er hardly touches the Wei Mansion

"Damn girl! Turn your elbows outward!"

Wei Shuyi was going to let Tan'er go to Chang'an to rent a house for Xu Hui, but now she can only go with Liu'er.

Xu Hui was reading books in the pavilion. She was very serious.

Wei Shuyi found Xu Hui very ashamed.

"Sister Xu, you are so serious, I will work hard too……"

Before she could finish the word"effort", Wei Shuyi looked at Xu Hui in shock and said,"Sister Xu Hui, what are you reading?"The Romance of the West Chamber"? Why haven't I heard of it?" She stayed up late last night to read it.

Even the dark circles under Xu Hui's eyes were slightly bulging.

Xu Hui said:"You are talking about this book. When you went to the county government office to greet the county magistrate, I saw it on the roadside. It was said to be an only copy and cost fifty guan."

Wei Shuyi's eyes widened and her chest trembled wildly.

"Sister Xu Hui, do you remember what the person selling your book looks like?"

"Find that person and see if I don’t arrest him and take him to court!"

"A shabby book, the normal market price is only five guan, but he sells it to you for ten times the price?"

"This is bullying. You just came to Chang'an and don't understand anything!"

"So do you. You just buy whatever people say?"

"hateful!"

Wei Shuyi couldn't be more angry.

My good sister was deceived when she first came to Chang'an. Wei Shuyi doesn't want to lose face, right?

Xu Hui smiled and said:"It's nothing. I think the fifty-dollar purchase is worth it. Wei

Shuyi glared at Xu Hui and said,"Sister Xu Hui, you are just stupid. No matter how valuable a book is, it is still a book. The market price is just there. How can it make sense to increase it ten times?" You have been deceived, and you still speak for others. You are exactly like that girl Tan'er!

Xu Hui said doubtfully:"Tan'er?" What's wrong? Scammed too?"

"No!"Wei Shuyi said angrily:"I was cheated, but I was still helping count the money happily."

"Forget about Tan'er, let me see what is written in your book that can make you so obsessed. Xu

Hui nodded, then thought for a while,"Let's watch it together.""

Wei Shuyi said in surprise:"Didn't you watch it all night last night and now you want to watch it again?"

Xu Hui said seriously:"You can learn something new by reviewing the past."

"All right."

So.

Wei Shuyi opened"The Romance of the West Chamber".

A quarter of an hour later,

Wei Shuyi's eyes were a little red.

"So cruel. This damn author!"

Another quarter of an hour later

"It’s so worrying, Cui Yingying is getting married, but damn Sheng Zhang still has the nerve to stay in the capital for scientific examinations!"

Another quarter of an hour.

Well, the morning has passed.

Unknowingly, the two of them have stayed in the pavilion for two and four hours.

They just kept this knowledge and remained motionless.

Both of their eyes were sore.

The postures are also somewhat the same.

They are all clutching their chests and seem to be out of breath.

"Damn it! Cui Yingying is going to marry someone else! Did Zhang Sheng move to rescue the soldiers?"

Wei Shuyi raised her head and looked at Xu Hui, whose eyes were swollen.

Xu Hui looked confused:"I... don't know either."

"Who wrote this, and what about the rest?

Xu Hui:"I... still don't know!""

"Who is the author? Buy the lower part too.

Xu Hui:"I... don't know you!""

"You must find the author, don’t say 50 guan, buy a 100 guan! It’s so appetizing!"

Xu Hui:"……"

Who just said that I was cheated?

Who just said that the market price of books is just there, how can it make sense to increase it ten times?

Does it smell really good now?

The two were having a conversation.

Wei Zheng watched from a distance and Lao Huai comforted him.

Two good kids.

In order to welcome the Tubo envoys, he worked so hard.

But even if I work hard, I still have to have lunch.

Wei Zheng walked over feeling a little distressed.

"What books did you read? Confucius? Mencius? Or a national policy? Tubo Zhi?"

According to Wei Zheng, this confrontation with the Tubo envoys will inevitably involve a competition in culture, military, intelligence, customs, etc.

But after getting closer,

Wei Zheng turned green.

《"The Romance of the West Chamber"?

This stupid thing?

Look at this cover, why does it look like a miscellaneous storybook?

Wei Zheng's words suddenly came to mind.

Wei Shuyi and Xu Hui were both shocked

"Dad/Doctor Wei"

"Don't look at these messy things and study hard!"

Wei Zheng said and took the books over.

"ah! Dad, be careful not to break it."Wei Shuyi said distressedly.

Wei Zheng chuckled and said:"This is a book of miscellaneous words, not for advancement! After dinner, go and review your homework!"

Seeing that the two girls were not moving, their eyes were looking longingly at"The Romance of the West Chamber" in their hands.

Wei Zheng's eyes widened and he shouted:"You're not going to eat yet!"

"oh."

The two of them took one step at a time and left reluctantly. Before leaving, they did not forget to tell Wei Zheng:"Dad... don't break it.

Wei Zheng sneered:"Don't seek improvement!""

Wei Shuyi and Xu Hui walked away.

Wei Shuyi said with emotion:"Sister Xu Hui, you are right, I really can't continue to live in Wei Mansion."

Xu Hui nodded in agreement.

Wei Shuyi continued:"If I read the next volume of"The Romance of the West Chamber" in the future and my father catches me, will I still have to kill my relatives out of justice?"

Xu Hui:"……"

After the two left.

Wei Zheng blushed,"The world is getting worse! Don't ask for progress! Read this crappy book!"

Wei Zheng opened it casually and happened to open the fourth and third fold.

"The sky is blue and the sky is yellow, the ground is yellow, the west wind is strong, and the wild geese from the north are flying south. Who will be drunk in the forest at dawn? Always in tears"

"Um? Are all scripts at this level?"Wei Zheng was very curious and planned to start over.

In the evening, after reading it, Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and shivered.

"Great book!"

But I can't have it!

Why?

Because I don't know who the author is, haha.

No matter who it is, the author who wrote this book has extremely high literary quality!

"Master, didn't you say you wanted to come in at noon??"

Someone reminded me.

Wei Zheng reacted immediately,"Fuck!"

Wiping his cold sweat, Wei Zheng quickly lifted his robe and headed towards Tai Chi Palace.

……

It's ten minutes in the evening.

Liu Er spent a whole day in Chang'an and returned to Wei Mansion.

Wei Shuyi said:"Liu'er, have you found the house? Is it in Xiuwenfang?"

Xiuwenfang is in a good location, close to Tianjin Bridge and the Imperial City.

Although the rent is higher, it doesn’t matter.

Liu Er shook her head with an ugly expression:"No."

Wei Shuyi was a little confused, and then said with relief:"There have been many talented people coming to take the exam recently. Xiuwenfang and Pingkangfang are two good areas. It doesn't matter if you can't rent them."

"Is that Li De Fang?"

Liu'er continued to shake his head.

"Xiuwufang?"

Liu'er is still shaking his head.

"Isn't it Kaihuafang?"

Kaihuafang is already in the middle of Chang'an, and the location is already a bit out of place.

But who knows, Liu'er said:"Let alone Kaihuafang, there are no vacant houses in Anyi Fang in the southernmost part."

"What? Wei Shuyi's face changed slightly:"

What's going on?""

In the past, in Chang'an, even after the Mid-Autumn Festival, talented people came to take the exam, but there were countless shops for rent.

What's going on this year?
