Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

Xie Ying sent her family to look for the help of Jin Yiwei's people, and went to the Tzu Chi Yuan, Nian, and beggars in the city to find the Xu family. She and Cui Xie followed the Washe Theater outside the city to find someone. After all, she was only in her early thirties, and she was The wife who has been a government official is quite charming, and it is hard to guarantee that she will not be defrauded.

The two searched for opera singers, music singers, high-sounding people, streamers, jumping pills and spinning, and happy horse sellers outside the city; they also went to the night market to see those who carried their burdens and sold hot tea and snacks. Hawker, see if Xu's family will hide in it.

It's a pity that they spent a day and a night, and they put in a lot of money to look at those people, but they didn't find the Xu family or even heard of similar people. Thousands of guards, school lieutenants, and Lishi who patrolled the city in Beijing would also patrol Xie Zhen’s voice. However, after several days of inquiries, they did not ask anyone who had seen this person when he was out of Beijing. The famous criminal woman who has been onlookers by half of the capital--

It was as if she had never been to Beijing at all.

Xie Ying went to Cui's house and told the Cui brothers. Cui Heng's eyes widened, and two lines of tears rolled down like a hanging river. He bit his lip and swallowed his crying, kneeling down on his knees, begging his brother: "I know my mother has harmed my brother, and the sin is unforgivable, but she is my mother in law after all. Please help me to find her. She will come. As long as my mother can come back, I am willing to split up and serve her outside, and never ask her to get in your eyes."

Cui Xie sighed and helped this bear child who at least understood family affection: "Although Xu Niangzi has sins, she has been punished by the law, and I will never remember the old evils. After all, she is your biological mother, I think For your brother’s sake, she will also be looking for her with all our heart. It’s just that if we don’t find any news about her like this, it is possible that she has not entered Beijing at all."

Cui Heng raised his head suddenly, sucked his nose, and asked dumbly: "Did she go to find her father?"

It is also possible.

When Xu’s mother and son were sent out of Beijing, Cui Que had not yet come to Yunnan as a councilor, but later Cui Xie sent Xiao Haijing, who served Cui Heng, to Fujian. The young man went there to please the mistress, and he must take the family’s wife. Tell Xu everything.

At that time, the Cui family in the capital city was covered by his Cui Xie, and the Xu family did not admit this criminal daughter. Maybe the Xu family felt that there was no hope of returning to Beijing, so he went to Yunnan to ask his ex-husband to take it in?

Cui Xie thought for a while, and shook his brother's hand to comfort him: "I will arrange for my family to find people in two ways, all the way to Ping Haiwei to find the original acquaintance of Lady Xu, and to find out where she has gone, all the way to Yunnan. Looking for your father, he also has officials there to help find people."

He asked someone to help the second son back to the room, and made an exception to reduce his day's homework. He told the child to sleep for a while after crying enough, and he called Cui Liangdong to arrange the team going south.

Before Cui Daguan came over, Xie Ying whispered in his ear: "If you are using people, I will also ask a few families to follow them? Ping Haiwei is under the control of the garrison officer, my Jinyiwei town caregiver The name is better than your Hanlin."

Cui Xie laughed and said, "No, it's the second thing to find people this time. The main reason is that people should go to the south to buy things. It just so happens that Ju'anzhai will also bring some book editions to Nanjing to open a branch. When the river opens in February, they will be asked to pack them. The boat went down the canal. It was cold and hard to drive out this winter. As a parent, I couldn’t bear it."

He loves his family, but he doesn't worry much about Xu's exile.

When Xu's mother and son were released into exile, he packed up all of Cui Heng's belongings to Lieutenant Jin Yiwei and asked him to arrange flowers for them. Hearing Cui Heng came back and said that when he came back, Lady Xu still had dozens of silver on hand. Although it was nothing in the Cui Mansion, it would be enough for a few years of worry-free living according to the common people's way of life.

Besides, there is Xiao Haijing by his side with Xu's family, who can also help her with work and earn some money.

Cui Liangdong found a military attache who was going to take office in Fujian that day, and he took a post from Cui Senyi and asked that official to help carry someone over. With the face of this official and Master Cui, Ping Haiwei's officer also promised to help them watch when he was hired, and would not let Xiao Haijing cheat Xu's money and run away. This young man should be eighteen or nine this year. It is the age when he is strong and able to earn money, and he can still afford to raise a woman in the Xu family.

If their masters and servants are still in Fujian, they will definitely be able to live on. Even if they go to Beijing, there is a strong and strong man who will follow, and it will not be easy to be robbed. This spring shopping trip to the south is a big plan for the future development of the shops in the family, and he has planned a big gift to give to his boyfriend. He must be prepared, careful, and cautious.

He squinted his eyes slightly and smiled mysteriously at Xie Ying: "I have something I want to give you. This time I want them to buy one of the accessories by the way. You can't ask your family to follow it, otherwise you know I want it. What did you give?"

Gift-giving is a sense of mystery, and if the person being given knows what it is, it will be very interesting.

He waited until Xie Ying left before summoning Cui Liangdong and the two shopkeepers, Guan Shi from Qingchao, to study this year’s purchase plan: this year, in addition to the fabrics, powders, and spices that he had to buy as usual, he would also buy them in Nanjing In this village, jasmine, hosta, roses, and other fragrant flowers are grown in the village. In addition to steaming the aroma dew, they buy cheap fried green tea leaves locally, and send them to tea shops for sale.

This is a major task for them to go south. Guanshi Liu will select people from the village and arrange them to settle down in Nanjing. In addition, they will arrange for a few elderly people in the inner courtyard to go to Fujian Pinghaiwei to inquire about the whereabouts of Xu and Xiao Haijing. Finally, it is also The most important thing is that when you arrive in Fujian and Guangdong, you have to buy a large piece of clear imported crystal and ask the craftsman to grind it into a round piece about the size of a spectacle lens. If you can buy more, buy more.

Although there are spectacle lenses in Jingli, the price is too expensive. A pair of crystals can cost dozens of silver. In Guangdong, there is a sea-going ship that sells foreign gems. You can get the fine crystals just off the ship with only a few silvers. There are also local craftsmen who are good at processing. Polishing is the right lens.

When he had a tryst with Xie Ying for the first time, he planned to make a "Western Scenery" that was very popular in the late Qing Dynasty and asked Xie Ying to watch a traditional handmade cartoon.

He didn't know exactly what the internal structure of the thing was, but he had seen it once on the street: it was a large wooden box with pictures inlaid with eight lenses on the surface. The people who set up the stall played gongs and sang songs while turning the pictures inside, asking the audience to watch the pictures inside through the lens. Some lenses are even red and green, which can create a pseudo three-D effect.

The rotating device in the box can be found by the carpenter who made his grandfather's hospital bed. What about painting... He has also studied the hard disk in his brain for a long time, the only thing that is bad is this lens, and he will be alive after buying it!

Thinking about the future experience of sharing his starring picture with Xie Ying in the future, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, and said to several stewards: "The lenses must be polished with flawless white crystal. I want Use it to make a game device. If you do it well, you still have a chance to get into the miles. Don’t be perfunctory."

Several managers heard that he was going to buy lenses, and they were all worried about whether his dazzling eyes at a young age would affect his future. He heard that he was going to make a toy, but he was quietly relieved. No matter what he was going to do, he patted his chest and said: "When I go back, I must ask the buyer to remember and buy the best real crystal. Never let them be fooled!"

When you go back, take the guys to the biggest jewelry store in Beijing to see the fineness of the finest crystals. Don’t buy the same good ones in the south!

Several managers wrote down the purchase plan for the beginning of the year, and then handed in a thick annual summary, and went back to work with passion. Cui Xie went to the shopkeeper Ji and Cui Qi to come to a meeting to study the establishment of the Anzhai branch in Nanjing.

Nanjing is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, a prosperous place, and the center of gathering talents from the south. The books of their Ju'anzhai have been sold all over Beijing. The next step is to open up the Jiangnan market so that future talents such as Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Kang Hai, and Li Mengyang will all grow up and become official after reading his books. The screenwriter under the banner of their study.

It's just like Yang Tinghe, the big brother, Wang Zhuangyuan, Liang Zhuangyuan and others.

When this group of big men slowly become ministers, the inner chief Zaifu, there is not so much time to write manuscripts. The next generation of the four great talents in Jiangnan and the first seven should also enter official careers and recruit him. The series of Jinyiwei comics and drama series.

Moreover, the Southern Opera is not like the Northern Opera with only four acts. It can be added along with the plot, just like the difference between a TV series and a movie-their Jin Yiwei drama can also be adapted into a 70-act Jin Yiwei continuous southern opera!

Many Jiangnan talents can write and write operas, and Kang Hai, the leader of the former seven sons, is a famous playwright who wrote "Zhongshan Wolf". They Ju'anzhai are now selling imperial examination books and new Jinshi experience collections in Nanjing. When this group of celebrities watch his books enter the Hanlin Academy, can they be embarrassed to refuse the invitation of his editor-in-chief who is a half-teacher?

It's because they don't read the reference book, and they have spent a long time in the Qingshui Yamen of the Imperial Academy, can they still refuse the temptation to get a rich and luscious pen?

cant!

Branches must be opened, and the shopkeeper actively said, “Many of our shopkeepers often travel south, but when it comes to opening a shop in a new place, it’s not that easy. It’s better to go with me and children. , Open the situation first and then slowly pick people from the bottom..."

Now, at the old shop, Cui Yuan has made it easy, and he doesn’t need Fang Fang to help him. Ask Fang Fang to come to Beijing to help Cui Qi stare at them. The Ju’an Zhai in Jingli will not be in chaos, and their father and son will be free. Nanjing.

Cui Xiesi lined up for a while and asked: "The treasurer is healthy? The south is cold and cold, and the weather used to be prone to leg problems. It is better to let the treasurer follow the boat first, and the villager has to pick a few people to take care of it. At the new farm that Bian bought, someone selected by the shopkeeper Liu will help him, and you are all from the Liu family..."

The shopkeeper Ji was still uneasy. He felt that although his son could manage a branch here, after all, there were few booksellers in the north, and there was an official host to rely on, so everything was easy. When he arrived in the south, the personalities and customs were completely different from those in the north, and there were many booksellers. When he went to Nanjing alone, he was afraid that he would not be able to open the situation and missed the host's business.

When Cui Xie has reached this point, he doesn't really care whether he makes money or not. The people who want to make money are already talented people in the world. He thought about it slightly, and said to the treasurer Ji: "Being still inseparable from you in Jingli, he asked the treasurer to bring a few capable guys, skilled workers, and engravings of the imperial examination books with the Cui family. Let’s go to Nanjing on a big boat rented by a shop. First book a good house there. If you can sell the book, you can sell it. If you can’t sell it, you can build a library like I did in Qian’an. Let people get used to reading our house. And set up a separate bookstore in the library."

Affluent Jiangnan, there will be many people who are willing to spend money to buy good books from the library. Even if the people who watched it didn't buy it, he could still afford a library, just like it was done in Qian'an when it was made into a public welfare enterprise. He was branded as Cui Xie and Cui Zhuangyuan in the hearts of Jiangnan talents.

“It’s easy to build a library for him first, and the name is titled'Zhuangyuan's Library'. We are donated by genuine champions. We are not afraid that they will not come in to get the culture. Ju'anzhai is rented in the yard next to the library to let those who read the books. Well, anyone who wants to buy their own home and go back to see can buy what they want-Weijinyiwei comics have to be sold in the study first, and then put into the library every two months, so those people can't help but chase the latest books."
