Chen Liejiu took Xu Huaiqian, who had fainted from fever, straight to the best clinic in the city.

It was Ji’an Clinic.

The medicines in his clinic were a bit expensive, but since Xu Huaiqian started taking his medicine, he had been visibly getting better. Chen Liejiu didn’t trust other clinics that didn’t have the reputation of this clinic.

When they got there, he carried Xu Huaiqian from the carriage into the clinic and called out, “Let your best doctor come.”

The doctors in the clinic saw that he, a ger, came in with a big man in his arms easily, and that he spoke and acted in an orderly manner. They knew that he was not someone to be trifled with, so they hurriedly pushed Doctor Miao, who had the best medical skills in the clinic, over.

Dr. Miao looked very old. He sat by the bed and felt Xu Huaiqian’s pulse. Seeing that the unconscious patient was still vomiting blood subconsciously, he frowned.

 “What’s wrong?” Chen Liejiu took a handkerchief to wipe the blood that Xu Huaiqian vomited subconsciously. Seeing this, he asked anxiously.

“Ah!” Doctor Miao sighed, retracted his hand, and shook his head, “He was already weak, and he was so weak that he caught a cold. There is no cure.”

Even if there is a cure, it is extremely difficult and dangerous. It is definitely not something that people in a small city like them can afford. He looked at the clothes of Chen Liejiu and his group, and saw that they were not from a noble family, so he simply didn’t say the rest of the words.

 “You’re lying!” Chen Liejiu’s eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts. He stared at Doctor Miao fiercely, “He’s a healthy person. He’s sick, not dead. How can he be incurable?”

“Could it be that your clinic dismisses all difficult and complicated diseases with a word that they can’t be cured?”

“It seems that your Ji’an Clinic is just in name only and doesn’t deserve the title of the best clinic in Changnan!”

It’s full of threats!

What a domineering guy! Doctor Miao was stared at by Chen Liejiu’s eyes that shot straight into people’s hearts. It was like someone had a knife on his neck. He had to save this person today, otherwise, this guy would never let their clinic go!

“…Okay.”

The arrogant ones are not afraid of being stunned, and the stunned ones are afraid of being dead. People with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If the reputation of Ji’an Clinic is ruined because of him, the owner behind it will definitely not let him off the hook.

Dr. Miao only hesitated for a while and nodded to agree to treat him, but he didn’t say it so absolutely: “But let me be frank, his condition can be cured, but the money consumed is definitely not a small amount, and…”

He paused here, Chen Liejiu was very impatient: “And what, say it!”

Dr. Miao was helpless: “And even if he is cured, I can only save his life for ten years. During these ten years, he must not be cold, hot, or be exposed to the wind.”

If Xu Huaiqian’s body still had a vitality in his body before, it would not be a big deal to nourish him with medicine every day, but now he is terminally ill, and only an empty shell is left. Even if he is saved, he will probably have to endure the torture of illness every day, and it is impossible for people with great perseverance to persist.

 “Only ten years to live?!” Wang Wanwan in the room cried when she heard this. How much suffering must a person have suffered to torture him like this.

Even Chen Xiaomei, who had no idea about life and lifespan, knew that ten years was very short. It was so short that her second brother could only live until she was eighteen, and couldn’t even see her get married! Thinking of this, her tears fell like beads, and she couldn’t stop them.

Seeing them like this, Doctor Miao’s eyes dimmed. This was also the reason why he said at the beginning that it couldn’t be cured. Even if it was cured, the patient couldn’t bear the torture of this disease and would want to die.

 “Why are you crying!” Chen Liejiu was different from all of them. He didn’t think that just because the doctor said Xu Huaiqian could only live for ten years, he didn’t think that what he said was true. “He’s not dead yet, and you’re crying like a funeral? Isn’t this curable?”

He looked at Doctor Miao and said, “We’ll treat him, no matter how much it costs!”

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Doctor Miao had no choice but to say, “Then please go to the counter and get a hundred-year-old ginseng.”

Chen Liejiu took out a silver note of one hundred taels from his purse and gave it to Wang Wanwan, “Go get it!”

Before coming, he was afraid that Xu Huaiqian couldn’t carry so much silver, so he changed all of it into silver notes.

Seeing that they were really rich, Doctor Miao didn’t say anything more. After Wang Wanwan got the ginseng, he took out a knife from the medicine box, wiped it again and again, and wanted to cut ginseng slices for Xu Huaiqian to hold.

Seeing him taking so long, Chen Liejiu snatched the ginseng, broke it off, pinched open Xu Huaiqian’s mouth, stuffed it into his mouth, and said to Doctor Miao, “Please.”

Doctor Miao looked at the half-broken ginseng. When he took out the silver needle to give Xu Huaiqian acupuncture, he kept cursing in his heart.

Waste of God’s gifts! Waste of God’s gifts!

Such a waste!

Look at what you have to use to treat the sickly person after you spend all the money!

Although Doctor Miao was a bit stingy, his medical skills were really good. After a few needles, Xu Huaiqian no longer coughed and vomited blood unconsciously. He gradually fell asleep with the ginseng slice in his mouth.

At night, the needle was taken out. Chen Liejiu took out the ginseng for him, fed him the medicine, and broke off another piece of ginseng for him to hold in his mouth.

This was repeated for three days, and Xu Huaiqian barely woke up after the hundred-year-old ginseng was used up.

 When he just woke up, his eyes were blurry and he couldn’t see anything clearly. He could only confirm that he was in a room full of medicine.

“… Ah Jiu, cough cough cough.” He called out a syllable in confusion, and then coughed violently with his throat full of wounds.

“I’m here, don’t talk.” Chen Liejiu held his hand almost as soon as he heard his first syllable.

His hand was held, and the temperature of his hand made him shrink. He followed his voice to look at him, but he couldn’t see anything, only a red shadow. After hearing his voice and seeing this red, and confirming that it was Chen Liejiu, he nodded with relief.

 “You just woke up, your body is not fully recovered yet.” Chen Liejiu grabbed his hand and covered him with the quilt. “Lie down for two more days, and talk after you are well.”

Xu Huaiqian looked at him eagerly, trying to see his appearance clearly, but the red shadow in front of him was hazy. He could only see the red, and even the traces of his clothes. If he was nearsighted, it would probably be 2,000 degrees.

After hearing what Chen Liejiu said, he thought it was because he was still sick, and said “mm” very softly and simply closed his eyes.

He was so tired that he wanted to vomit.

After burning for two days in the examination hall, he was exhausted. He vomited so much blood, and lay down for three days without eating or drinking. He used to be a man, but now he is so thin that he has no human shape.

The man who was so big and bright now lies on the bed, wrinkled and small. His face is only the size of a palm, and the quilt is several times his size, like a child who can be easily picked up.

 In the past, he had a pair of affectionate eyes, which were bright and tender enough to swallow people up. Now, they are completely colorless and misty. It is obvious that he can’t see anything now.

He was as strong as old liquor, and never shown weakness in front of anyone, but this time he couldn’t help it and his nose was sour.

He would not let go of any of the material officers in the examination hall! Not even one!

He had inquired about it. Xu Huaiqian had spent money. He bought three quilts worth one tael of silver, one for a mattress and two for a cover. As a result, all three beds were straw mattresses!

He ordered three days of food at a price of one hundred coins per meal. When he ordered, he was told that it was three days of hot dishes and hot meals, but what he got was cold water and cold steamed buns!

He bought five taels of ginseng slices, but all he got were inferior, crooked melons and cracked dates.

They have made a lot of money, but they still treat people like this. They are so greedy that they deserve death! 

It’s a pity that he has no power, otherwise, he would make them lose everything and let them taste the feeling of being bullied and having nowhere to go!

Xu Huaiqian didn’t know what Chen Liejiu was thinking. He closed his eyes and thought about his imperial examination.

Those questions were difficult, but he answered every question. Even if some of them were not satisfactory, they shouldn’t be too bad?

And he remembered that the examiners in ancient times also read the words. His hands were shaking so much that he was afraid that the words he wrote would be crooked and ugly, so he put his hands in cold water to numb them, wiped them clean and copied them word by word on the paper.

Those words were much better than his usual writing.

Even if it wasn’t for his grades, could he be given a lower score because of his good handwriting?

When Xu Huaiqian was thinking about his grades, Song Yunfan, the academic official from Suzhou Prefecture, was really embarrassed about his test paper.

It’s so beautiful! So beautiful! 

This handwriting is so beautiful!

Song Yunfan has been the academician for many years and has presided over many imperial examinations, but he has never encountered a word that moved him.

After all, there are many literati in Suzhou, and he has seen countless good words, including elegant, graceful, sharp, majestic, magnificent, and tenacious. If you go to Suzhou Prefecture, you will find that the words written by a scholar on the street are not good, but the most basic words are pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, when he took imperial examinations in other places, he would never give a free pass because of the words on the test papers of any student. He has the reputation of being the iron-faced and impartial Song Yunfan.

He thought that he would never encounter a word that moved him in his life, so he was happy to be called that by others.

A person’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow!

Students need reputation not only during imperial examinations, but also when they are officials.

 With this title, he was not unknown in Hanlin Academy. Song Yunfan thought that when the next imperial exam came, as long as his score was not at the bottom, maybe his position could be promoted.

But to maintain this reputation, he had to give up his hobbies…

Song Yunfan looked at Xu Huaiqian’s test paper again and again. The handwriting was beautiful, but the answers were too bad.

The poem about snow was written terribly, and the test poem was irrelevant. The last article about people’s livelihood was well written, but it was too empty and pretentious. All of them needed money to support them. If the local government had money, why would they write about people’s livelihood? The answers to the questions were also confusing.

Finally, the only thing left was the dictation of the scriptures, which was written so beautifully, without a single typo or pause. The whole article was smooth and completed in one go.

Song Yunfan wanted to cut this passage from the examination paper, take it back and stick it on the wall to admire it every day.

It felt like he could calm down if he read it more.

It was just that he couldn’t find anything to ignore except this passage, otherwise he wouldn’t be so embarrassed.

“Sir Song?”

The two schoolmasters and teachers in front of him saw that Song Yunfan had been reading this article with good handwriting for several days without making a decision, and asked: “Does Sir Song like this handwriting? How about passing it?”

Don’t waste time. If they delay any longer, will they have time to disclose other articles?

This examination is the same as the provincial examination. You can’t be careless. Every article must be carefully read and recorded.

Originally, articles are naturally formed and accidentally created by a master. Some articles seem to be flattering to them, but they are masterpieces in the eyes of others. Therefore, they have to read the article again and again, and they will only add it after everyone agrees and passes it.

 Originally, they were going to reject the article after just one look. Except for Mo Yi, they couldn’t find any good points in other places.

But the handwriting was really beautiful. The group couldn’t make a decision. Finally, they could only send the article to the academic administrator and let him make a decision.

But they didn’t expect that even the academic administrator, who was always selfless, was in trouble this time.

They looked at the answer sheet of this candidate for several days and didn’t make a decision. If this goes on, can they still announce the results next month?

So they had to remind him out loud.

Song Yunfan came back to his senses and saw the two academic administrators and teachers who accompanied him to Yong’an Prefecture for the imperial examination. He thought that they were not his people, but local officials in the superintendent’s academy. If he passed the article today, it wouldn’t take long for his reputation as the iron-faced and impartial Song to be completely gone.

 Thinking about it, he is not a popular person in Hanlin Academy, otherwise he would not be sent to Changnan, a remote and poor place where there is not even an official who can enter the main hall. If he does not have a reputation, he will have to sit on the bench in the Hanlin Academy for the rest of his life.

For his own future, Song Yunfan had to reluctantly give up the answer sheet with good handwriting that he loved so much, saying: “The handwriting is good, but the article is really not written with any highlights, so let’s reject it.”

The two academicians and teachers saw that their Lord Song put this test paper that he obviously liked very much into the pile of articles that were rejected.

Instantly, they were in awe of him!

He is worthy of being the iron-faced Lord Song! The article that they liked for several days was rejected! It was rejected!

They had to talk to other colleagues about Lord Song when they went back! Let other colleagues also know that Lord Song is upright!

 Song Yunfan, who was sentenced the fail, was originally thinking bitterly that if he had written the test poem a little more neatly, he would not be so upset now.

But now, noticing the expressions of his colleagues looking at him with admiration, he suddenly felt that he was not so upset.

… Well, that’s it.

So he put down Xu Huaiqian’s test paper and picked up the other test papers on the desk again.

Sir Song, who had just been dazzled by Xu Huaiqian’s good handwriting, picked up the next test paper and saw the crooked words on it that looked like a dog paddling, and his face immediately turned black.

 He took the test paper to the schoolmaster and the teacher and asked: “What’s going on? Such a test paper is worthy of being brought to my desk?”

As the schoolmaster, Song Yunfan did not have to read every article. With the schoolmaster and the teacher present, he only needed to read the test papers that they were undecided about, and finally rank all the additional test papers according to the quality of the articles.

In the eyes of the schoolmaster, such a test paper that could not even write the characters clearly should be directly rejected. Why should he show it to him?

The teacher stood up and replied: “Although the handwriting of this student is ugly, his solution is very innovative. Please take a look at the column where he cuts off the question. The question cuts off the Four Books, and he directly uses the Analects to solve the question, and then he rounds it off at the end. This proves that he has memorized all the books used for the imperial examination and has a solid knowledge. I think this candidate is a rare talent.”

So he didn’t make up his mind even though the handwriting was ugly.

 After hearing what he said, Song Yunfan turned the test paper to the page with the question of cutting and connecting, and he tried very hard to read it.

Really!

But he still couldn’t see clearly what he wrote?

Finally, Song Yunfan’s eyes were red. He had never seen such ugly words. He felt dizzy and uncomfortable. He shook his head and put this test paper into the stack of test papers that were rejected: “The handwriting is too ugly. Let him go back and practice writing for two more years before taking the imperial examination.”

“… This,” the teacher felt a little reluctant, but felt that what Mr. Song said was right. After thinking about it, he compromised, “Okay.”

The next two test papers were not very novel, and there were only two answer papers left for him to decide on the first case, which gave Song Yunfan a headache.

One poem was written very well.

The other article was written with full of spirit.

 Both papers were rare, and Song Yunfan was really in a dilemma.

If he were to judge, he might choose the one about poetry and songs, because he answered the other questions well.

It completely fits the style of their Suzhou Prefecture, and it is most appropriate to give him this first place.

But the following article is too well written. He hasn’t seen such a spiritual article for many years. The emotion of compassion for the world is too abundant. If he were an official, his talent for writing articles alone could make the literati cry.

What do they fear most when they are officials? The most feared thing is subordinates who can’t write memorials. The memorials submitted are just dry statements of facts. There are so many places across the country, who can pay attention to your memorial?

If the memorial is well written, it will be heard by the emperor. With a word from the emperor, what can’t be done below?

But this candidate is only outstanding in the article, and the others are mediocre.

 Song Yunfan hesitated, but still wanted to follow the rules. After all, it was just first place, not the failed one. So he should choose the candidate who wrote poetry and songs. It would not be a disgrace to this candidate with outstanding writing if he got second place.

After Song Yunfan finalized all these matters, he stood up and was about to go back to his room to rest. His servant came in with a visiting card and handed it to him: “Master.”

Song Yunfan took the visiting card and asked in confusion: “Why did the magistrate of Pingxi County come to submit a visiting card so late at night?”

The servant shook his head: “I don’t know.”

“Let’s go,” Song Yunfan stretched his body lazily, not afraid, after all, there was something, “Let’s go meet him.”

After several days, Xu Huaiqian’s body finally got better, and he could barely get out of bed and talk, but he found something very scary.

He still couldn’t see clearly!

Everything he saw was a blurry mass.

That day, Doctor Miao came to take his pulse, and seeing that his eyes were still dull, he asked: “Still can’t see clearly?”

Xu Huaiqian shook his head: “Not very clear.”

Then Doctor Miao remained silent.

 “…My eyes?” Xu Huaiqian seemed to have noticed something, and reached out to touch the corner of his eye, “…Will it always be like this?”

Dr. Miao felt his pulse and sighed, “Your body is too weak, and your eyes are injured. You can only take care of them slowly and see if they can be healed.”

…Let’s see.

…Can they be healed?

This was already said very tactfully. Xu Huaiqian nodded, not knowing what to say, so he just said “Oh”.

“I’m here!” Chen Liejiu was afraid that he would be discouraged, so he quickly said, “Nothing can’t be healed!”

Xu Huaiqian believed him and smiled, “Mm!” Although he didn’t know if he could recover, he was like this, and his wife didn’t give up on him, so he was quite happy!

 Chen Liejiu was right, but after Doctor Miao finished his daily acupuncture for Xu Huaiqian, he still followed him out to ask, “His eyes?”

“It’s okay,” Doctor Miao reassured him, “You just need to prepare the money and take care of his body, and his eyes won’t be a problem.”

The stone in Chen Liejiu’s heart fell: “As long as I can take care of him, money is not a problem!”

If Xu Huaiqian is fragile glass, even if it is broken, Chen Liejiu will find ways to glue him back together.

He doesn’t believe it. As long as he is more careful, is he afraid of not being able to take care of him?

“Then I’ll prescribe some medicine for his eyes.” Through these days of contact, Doctor Miao also knew that Chen Liejiu was an extremely determined person. Extraordinary things could not shake him. It was just a matter of money, and he must be able to solve it.

He didn’t know how he, a ger, can develop such a state of mind?

 Chen Liejiu took the eye drops prescribed by Doctor Miao back home. Fearing that Xu Huaiqian would be upset, he explained to him in detail: “The doctor said that your eyes will slowly get better as you take care of your body, so don’t worry.”

“Mm.” Xu Huaiqian believed everything he said. After a pause, as if he had thought of something, he asked him, “It will cost a lot of money to get well, right?”

Chen Liejiu applied the drops to him. Seeing that Xu Huaiqian was worried about money again, he assured him: “I will find a way to earn it.”

Then his brows furrowed again.

Mishan County was too remote. There was no charcoal from the prefectural city to be sold in their county. Even if there was, it was sold by grocery stores. Therefore, it was particularly difficult to endure in winter.

When his charcoal was burned, he first sent a cart to Shopkeeper Wu.

Sure enough, when Shopkeeper Wu learned that their Chen family could burn charcoal, he immediately ordered ten carts of charcoal from them.

One cart cost three taels of silver, and he quoted the price of the prefectural city. Logically speaking, they were all in the same county, so it should have been cheaper. However, they had to spend an extra 1-2 taels of money on the charcoal from the prefectural city to Mishan County. The wealthy families could afford the charcoal, but the common people could not. He had saved them the charcoal. If he still lowered the price, the charcoal shops in the prefectural city would have troubled him.

He and the Chen clan split the charcoal in a 30-70 ratio. He could get 900 coins for each charcoal. He was afraid that the people in the county would order charcoal from the prefectural city in winter, so he took people to knock on doors and sell charcoal. He sold 200 charcoal carts in the whole county and earned 180 taels.

He sold some more in the future, but he couldn’t sell them anymore. He bought everything he should buy. The total amount he received was only about 230 taels.

He thought that this money was enough for Xu Huaiqian’s medicine for a year, but he didn’t expect that it was not enough after coming to the prefectural city.

However, it’s okay. As long as people are still alive, they can always find ways to make money.

 Chen Liejiu didn’t believe that a living person could be suffocated to death by urine.

While he was thinking about it, his clothes were pulled by Xu Huaiqian. He lowered his head, and Xu Huaiqian raised his face and said seriously: “I will also find a way to make money.”

He is a man, how can a man let his wife support him. Although it was quite nice when he was supported by his wife, he was sick now, and the medical expenses were very high, so he couldn’t let his wife bear it alone.

“Your top priority is to take care of your body first,” Chen Liejiu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Why did he still think about making money when he couldn’t see, “Don’t worry about anything else.”

“Mm.” Xu Huaiqian nodded, but he didn’t listen in his heart.

He had to take care of his body! He also had to make money!

He finally realized that with his completely dragged down body, if he didn’t work hard to make money, once he encountered any emergency, the whole family would be stretched to the limit.

After all, he didn’t have medical insurance here, and he had to pay the full medical expenses.

 When he thought of this, Xu Huaiqian pursed his lips. He was a civil servant, and 90% of his medical expenses were reimbursed! 

Now that he has traveled to this body, God has not reimbursed his medical expenses, and he has to earn money for medical expenses himself. It’s too miserable! 

After a few days, they heard that Xu Huaiqian could see guests, and Duan Youyan and others came to visit him. 

They had visited him several times before, but the smell of medicine in Xu Huaiqian’s room was too strong. Doctor Miao said that too many strangers should not enter because they have cold air on their bodies, and it will aggravate the patient’s condition, so they gave up. 

Now that they heard that Xu Huaiqian could see guests, they all rushed over. 

But when they opened the door, they were all stunned.

Xu Huaiqian was wearing loose clothes and sitting quietly at the table, fiddling with some ropes.

“Who?” Hearing the sound of the door opening but no movement, Xu Huaiqian looked up at the door.

His face was so thin that only a pointed chin was left, and the white eye bands on his eyes made him look pitiful.

Especially now that his skin color has recovered a little, without the dull cover, his temperament of the sun and the moon in his arms and his skinny body, it’s really…

Pei Wangshu couldn’t help but say: “…You are really more beautiful when you are sick.”

If he didn’t know that Xu Huaiqian was a man, he would have wanted to say, where did this sick beauty come from.

 As soon as he heard Pei Wangshu’s voice, Xu Huaiqian knew that his friends came to visit him. He curled his lips and focused on his appearance: “Am I good-looking now?”

Everyone went into the house and closed the door: “You are not ugly.” It’s just that when you are sick, you have no color on your body and look a little scary.

“Then I feel relieved.” Xu Huaiqian breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that he would be very ugly now.

He was about to become a blind man, and then become an ugly blind man…

Xu Huaiqian thought about it and felt that he couldn’t accept it.

“…What’s wrong with your eyes?” Duan Youyan was not as optimistic as Pei Wangshu. Seeing Xu Huaiqian’s eye patch, he couldn’t help but worry.

“Half blind,” Xu Huaiqian didn’t hide it, “see if it can be cured.”

“What if it can’t be cured?” Zhang Bingwen was a little worried. Everything else was fine, but it would be so uncomfortable if the eyes couldn’t see.

 “Don’t talk nonsense,” Meng Fangxun, who had never been angry, covered Zhang Bingwen’s big mouth with one hand, “It will definitely get well.”

Xu Huaiqian smiled indifferently: “It’s okay if it doesn’t get well.”

Seeing him so indifferent, Pei Wangshu asked doubtfully: “Aren’t you going to take the imperial examination?”

“Why not?” Xu Huaiqian would not give up. He made up his mind in the examination room that no matter how difficult this imperial examination was, he would continue to take it, otherwise wouldn’t his current sin be in vain?

A gentleman’s revenge is never too late!

Although they were all rotten fish and shrimp, it would be unbelievable if no one benefited from the withholding of materials in the examination room.

He is weak now and can’t avenge himself, but as long as he passes the exam step by step, one day he will make these corrupt officials regret what they have done.

He was so angry! If he hadn’t been lucky and had a good wife who never gave up or abandoned him, he would have died now!

 “You can’t see, how can you take the exam?” Duan Youyan was in a complicated mood. He just wanted to get by. Xu Huaiqian didn’t give up even though he was like this.

“There will be a way.” He calculated that he was now almost equivalent to 2,000 degrees of myopia. If he really couldn’t get better, he would burn glass to make glasses. Maybe he would look better wearing glasses.

How to burn glass?

Xu Huaiqian was thinking positively, but Duan Youyan and the others thought that Xu Huaiqian was determined that he could get better, so they didn’t discourage him. Seeing that his hands were always fiddling with the rope, they asked him, “What are you doing?”

“Making a string.” Xu Huaiqian’s hand fumbled under the table and found a beautiful string, “This is it.”

“It looks good!” Zhang Bingwen picked it up. It was a vivid string of the zodiac horse. It was not flat, but solid, and it was no different from a small doll.

“Did you make this?” Meng Fangxun asked in surprise.

 “Mm.” When we were doing poverty alleviation, there was a period of time when non-legacy handicrafts were very popular. In order to allow women who stayed in the village and were afraid to go out to work to make money without leaving home, he learned this non-legacy knitting and opened an online store for them.

During that time, he was really sick of learning from his master. He knitted with his hands even with his eyes closed at night. After learning, he went back to the village to teach others.

After covering his eyes with a cloth, he had nothing to do. He thought that people in this world also knitted, but they knitted flat ones, not solid ones like his, so he asked Wanwan to buy him some thread and tried to make it.

Unfortunately, he can’t see now, so he can only knit in one color, and he doesn’t know how it will turn out.

So he asked them: “Does it look good?”

“It looks good,” Duan Youyan nodded, “Your hands are very skillful, more skillful than my husband’s hands.”

Hearing him talk about his husband for the first time, Xu Huaiqian was surprised.

 But he soon got down to business: “You are all here. Tell me, if I sell this, can it be sold?”

“Can!” Zhang Bingwen said immediately, “I’ll buy it no matter how much you sell it for!”

“I want to sell them one by one, how long will it take?” Xu Huaiqian smiled, “I want to sell my craft and save some money to treat my eyes.”

“I can’t go out now,” Xu Huaiqian asked for help from several people, “Can you help me go to silk and satin shops, embroidery shops, etc., and ask them if they want to learn this? I can teach them for five to ten taels.”

He paid a lot of tuition fees when he learned this before, so it shouldn’t be too much for him to open a class and charge students now?

 “Why bother?” Pei Wangshu understood what he said and immediately said, “My family runs a silk shop. We’ll also buy what you want to sell. It doesn’t matter who you sell it to. Just sell it to me.”

Now everyone looked at him in surprise: “Your family runs a silk shop?”

Pei Wangshu didn’t understand why they looked at him like that: “Ah? Can’t I?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Silk can be used as money. You can imagine how rich the family is for those who can sell it for money.

No wonder Pei Wangshu didn’t want to study or take the imperial examinations every day. If his family was so rich, they wouldn’t want to work hard and struggle!

Xu Huaiqian thought about it. No wonder Pei Wangshu always had endless colorful robes to wear. It turned out that he was a rich second generation, a super rich second generation!

He was marrying above his station!

Although he was marrying above his station, Xu Huaiqian was not at all embarrassed to talk business with his friends, and asked him directly: “How much do you plan to pay for learning to make a knot?”

“… Ten taels!” Pei Wangshu thought about it, his mother seemed to sell it at a high price on weekdays? The price of a peace knot made of silk thread ranged from ten to one hundred coins.

To make the one in Xu Huaiqian’s hand, choose the best silk thread, hang it on jade, and sell it to those rich families. His mother dared to ask for an extra price of five hundred coins to one tael of silver.

“Is it too much?” In fact, Xu Huaiqian’s price in his mind was one tael of silver per piece, after all, it was not a difficult thing to learn.

His tuition fees in those days were only a few thousand yuan.

“… It’s okay.” Pei Wangshu didn’t think the money was a lot of money, “Anyway, my mother is quite rich.” He spent a little casually, and his mother wouldn’t feel bad.

 “How many do you know?” Pei Wangshu said, looking at his classmates who were staring at him, and said domineeringly, “I’ll take them all!”

“Pei Wangshu.” Xu Huaiqian suddenly called his name very seriously.

Pei Wangshu was stunned for a moment: “Ah?” He was not used to being called so formally all of a sudden.

“Your name is God, right?”

Pei Wangshu nodded: “The God who drives the moon.”

“Pei Wangshu!” Xu Huaiqian called his name again, curled his lips, “You are my God!”

Then, while he was still not reacting, he stretched out his hand to him: “I only know more than two thousand! Send me money! Hurry up!”

Pei Wangshu: “…”

Pei Wangshu: “…”

Pei Wangshu: “…”

“Excuse me!” He arched his hands to everyone, “Just pretend I haven’t been here today!” More than two thousand, do you want him to buy them and go bankrupt?

 Although they played around, Pei Wangshu didn’t ruin his family. In the end, he only bought 20 knitting methods from Xu Huaiqian. When he returned home, he would send someone to Xu Huaiqian’s house to learn.

If it was easy to sell, he would continue to pay Xu Huaiqian to learn. If it was not easy to sell, their business would be interrupted.

Out of friendship, Xu Huaiqian didn’t cheat him. He taught him the kind of things that were very delicate and difficult to learn, and guaranteed that others couldn’t learn them even if they took them apart!

Of course, this is all for later. At this moment, several people came out of the clinic to visit Xu Huaiqian, thinking of Xu Huaiqian’s determination to take the imperial examination even if he was blind.

Suddenly, he felt: “I have wasted my studies!”

Zhang Bingwen roared, thinking of his senior brother who was so hardworking when he was sick. He thought of himself, except for being serious during the imperial examination, he was quite relaxed at other times, and suddenly felt that he was a waste.

The other people also nodded in agreement.

 Seeing that they finally made some progress, Meng Fangxun felt relieved: “It’s not too late to study hard now.”

“I just don’t know if we can pass this imperial examination.” Duan Youyan was still worried when he thought about it. Would the academician fail him without even looking at his handwriting?

He thought that he would not take the exam this time.

“It’s okay if we fail. At most, we can take the exam again next year,” Pei Wangshu smiled bitterly, “What if Xu Huaiqian fails, what will we do in the future?”

“Mm.” Meng Fangxun felt helpless when he thought of this. None of the questions he asked Xu Huaiqian this time were correct. If he had asked one, the academic official would have given him a pass based on his handwriting.

It’s a pity that the academician who came this time was too tricky and was simply not a human being!

 When Meng Fangxun thought that if Xu Huaiqian was really blind, he would have no hope of passing the imperial examination in this life, he felt like a thorn in his heart. If only he could be more attentive when teaching him!

“Ah Yan!”

Dingling, a bell sounded, breaking their heavy atmosphere. A carriage stopped in front of them, and a round little boy’s face popped out of the carriage. His face was filled with the joy of seeing his sweetheart, which made people happy.

Duan Youyan heard the voice, looked up and saw his husband. He was surprised: “Why are you here.”

His husband blinked: “Guess?”

Duan Youyan looked through the gap in the carriage window and saw a middle-aged man sitting upright in the carriage, who was unusually solemn. All the surprises were blocked in his throat, and he knew what was going on without having to guess.

His father-in-law, the county magistrate, came.
