Wei Xi finished reading the letter in his hand, and turned his head to look at the Seven Killings standing obediently outside the window."
You wait for me to get back to me."
Seven Kills nodded in response.Wei Xi got up and went to the side to get a pen and paper, organized the language in his mind, and put pen to paper.Half a cup of tea time, done.Compared with the letter that Zong Xu gave her that was several pages long, and then looked at the few lines of words on the paper in front of her, Wei Xi was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.However, compared to the excitement of the capital during this time, she really doesn't have much to talk about here.Forget it, so be it.Fold the letter and envelope it, Wei Xi thought for a moment, turned around and took out a delicate basket from another room.The basket was made of soft wicker, and there were some cleanly washed fruits in it, red, yellow, green, and purple were very beautiful, and she put the envelope in the basket and pressed it with a peach that looked more like a heart, and then handed it to the seven kills waiting outside the window.Seven Kills stretched out his hands and solemnly took it, "Miss Weisan, my subordinates retire." ”Wei Xi waved at him.People can brush away.Wei Xi held her cheeks and read the letter written by Zong Xu to her carefully.I just feel that the only smart person in the royal family has been occupied by her.One or two is really stupid.Then it fell on the Lin Mansion incident.It's not stupid anymore, it's vicious.Sure enough, it's still her Taoyuan Town that is the best.After sighing, Wei Xi put the letter back in the envelope, put the envelope in a box specially used to store the letters, and then opened the door and walked out.The street in the town that was used for shops had been named Commercial Street by her.For her name, the evaluation given by several gentlemen can be summed up as: easy to understand.Now there is an embroidery village, a cloth village, an iron shop, a bookstore on the street, and Wei Xi is planning a department store.Nearly one-third of the buildings on the commercial street were directly pulled away by her.The interior is all open, and now neat wooden shelves have been installed.Just wait for all the goods to arrive, and you can open on the same day.When Wei Xi arrived, several carriages were parked outside the shop, and Han Moguang and they were helping to unload the goods.She leaned over and looked, "This was transported from Hexiangzhai?"
”Soap, facial grease, rouge, gouache, tooth powder, soap powder are all available.If you look closely, you can see that these things are either on the themselves or on the packaging, and they are engraved with the good-looking word Hexiang.Things were moved in one after another, and Wei Xi had already walked around inside.Seven or eight out of ten have been placed on the wooden shelves, from grain, oil, rice and noodles to needles and threads, as long as people will eat and use them in their daily life, they can be found in it."
Miss," Min Qi, who helped move things and put them on the wooden shelf, met Wei Xi's eyes were shining, "How did you come up with the idea of opening such a shop, it's really amazing!"
”Wei Xi raised his eyebrows, "Like it?"
”"I love it.""
It's good if you like it," Wei Xi patted her on the shoulder, "Come and visit often when it opens." ”"Definitely."
After leaving the shop, Wei Xi went to the school again.When she arrived, several gentlemen hadn't come yet, so she simply went to Zhou Yuan's Gewu Academy, looked at what he was studying now, and then went back to the small pavilion for daily discussions.After sitting down for a while, I saw a person walking up the stairs not far away."
Lady Qin Kite."
Qin Yuan looked up and saw Wei Xi waving towards her, and walked over a little faster, "Come so early?"
”"I'm young, so it's hard for me to have a few gentlemen waiting for me.And the scenery here is also good, never get tired of seeing. ”Qin Yuan laughed when he heard this, "That's right." ”They chose this place because of the different scenery all around.Two people spoke, and the other four gentlemen came one after another.The five of them chatted for a moment and sat down, and the atmosphere became a little more serious.When Wei Xi's face was expressionless, he was on par with the momentum of several gentlemen.And although Lu Qinfeng and the others are called Xi'er Xi'er, it is only because the little girl is young, and in their hearts, they have always put Wei Xi on an equal footing.At the beginning of Wei Xi's establishment of Taoyuan Town, he actually had two plans.One is that she slowly gathers talents from all walks of life by herself, and then selects children to cultivate.It's slow, but it's steady.The other is to invite big people who are already famous, and start with a big one.Thanks to Zong Xu, she met Mr.
Shang and invited four more prestigious gentlemen.Naturally, she chose her second plan.Wei Xi first said her current progress, "Now the handwritten letters of several gentlemen have arrived in the major academies of Dayong, and the conditions are limited, so they can only give priority to the academies.I wonder how the test prepared by the gentlemen was?
”Wei Xi's first step plan was to start the first battle with the name of five gentlemen joining disciples.Whoever wants to come to apprentice can go to Taoyuan Town, as long as they all pass the test set by the five gentlemen, they can become a disciple of Taoyuan Town School.This condition is not not harsh, but the temptation is also considerable.Shang Zhan used to be the prince's teacher, Su Weijian and Qi Shu'an were both scholars of Zhengge University, Lu Qinfeng was the leader of the altar, and even Mrs.
Qin Yuan, who had a somewhat mysterious background, can sit on an equal footing with the above four as a woman, which is enough for students in the world to be honored as a gentleman.These five people are rumored to have long ceased to preach and teach, and it is a good thing that they could never dream of becoming a student of any of them, let alone a disciple of five people.Wei Xi didn't believe that the students in the world were not moved.After all, this is not only the most demanding test, but if it does pass, it will be a great honor.Lu Qinfeng nodded first: "Ready." ”The other four nodded their heads and then glanced at each other.Wei Xi: "Can you reveal it in advance?"
”Mrs.
Qin Yuan curled her lips and smiled, "No, keep it secret." ”Wei Xi: "Okay, then let's wait for the disciples of the gentlemen who will be sent to the door." ”The five of them smiled and nodded.I have to say, a little bit of anticipation.Shang Jing, School Admissions Office.A dusty boy led a little donkey along the street and asked, and finally found the address written on the letter.The door carved with hollow peach blossoms, the admissions office of the Shangshu Academy, is exactly the same as what is written on the letter, and the young man Gu Zi nodded, "It can be regarded as finding a place." ”As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and knocked on the door.Soon the door was opened from the inside, and a face about his age poked out, "Where's your letter of introduction?"
”The young man was stunned when he saw the man, and then he hurriedly took out a well-preserved envelope from his bosom and handed it over.Zhou Ting took it and opened the envelope and read it carefully, "Zhong Qichen?
”"It's me.""
Please come in," Zhou Ting opened the door wider, "It just so happens that you are the tenth person in the first batch, take a rest here first, and wait for tomorrow morning, I will take you to the academy." ”When Zhong Qichen heard this, he asked, "Dare to ask, but for every ten people, they will be divided into batches and go to the test of five gentlemen?"
”"That's right," Zhou Ting said as he took him to tie the little donkey first, and then led him to an empty room, "Young Master Zhong, you can rest in this room for one night first." ”Zhong Qichen arched his hand at him, "There is labor." ”Zhou Ting returned the salute to him, and then got up and left.As soon as he left, before Zhong Qichen pushed open the door of his room, the doors of other rooms around him opened one after another, poking out their heads one after another.One of them took the initiative to speak, "Which college is the brother from?"
”Zhong Qichen pointed to himself and saw the other party nodding, "I'm from Yuezhou Academy."
What about Brother Tai?
”"I'm from Qizhou Academy.No wonder you came the latest, Yuezhou is the farthest away from Shangjing. ”As soon as the conversation began, everyone followed to introduce themselves.The man said, "We are all from the north and south of the Hengjiang River, and this time we also got together by fate, why don't we have a meal together in the evening?"
”Another young man with a fan in his hand and a rather elegant demeanor smiled: "Every time a newcomer comes back, you have to say such a sentence, this should be the tenth meal, right?"
”"No, it's the ninth, who let me come first, the first one I ate myself."
The crowd couldn't help but laugh.The restraint in Zhong Qichen's heart also dissipated in this laughter.Sure enough, in the evening, the young man named Ye Xiao began to knock on everyone's doors one by one, and the ten teenagers who were about the same age said hello to Zhou Ting, who was guarding the door, and after going out of the door, they had a meal in a nearby restaurant.Step on the moonlight and come back.To be the first batch of students to come to participate in the test, they are all the best in the major academies, and there is no shortage of courage and talent.And there was no competition in tomorrow's test, and the boys all said words of encouragement to each other to the other nine companions, and then they went back to their rooms.After a while, the lights in the ten rooms went out one after another, and the teenagers consciously rested early, just waiting to recharge their energy and prepare for the test of the five gentlemen.The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, there was a knock on the door of the teenagers.When Zhong Qichen was awakened by the knock on the door, he was still in a daze under the quilt, and after thinking about what he was going to do today, a carp got up.After washing up and eating the simple breakfast that had been brought to them, the boys went out of the gate and saw that there were already five carriages quietly parked on the side of the road."
Two people in a carriage," Zhou Ting beckoned everyone to get into the carriage, and before leaving, he shouted to everyone, "I wish everyone a smooth assessment." ”Five carriages lined up the city gates and headed for Taoyuan Town.As the carriage moved forward, the teenagers sitting in the carriage slowly felt a little nervous.Not only will they have to be assessed by those famous gentlemen later, but they can't help but be a little nervous when they see those gentlemen!
But no matter how nervous you are, you will still come.As the carriage stopped, the driver outside the carriage said "arrived", and almost everyone in the carriage took a deep breath and slowly spit it out at this moment, relieving the tension that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and then he opened the carriage door and jumped out of the carriage.Then all ten of them looked in the same direction.The tall all-wood arch, which is three stories high, has three characters on it.In addition to this, "What about people?
”Everyone looked at each other and asked the same question.Seeing that the carriage that had brought them had returned the same way, there were only ten of them left on the road in a short time, and there was no one in the town.So, how is this going to be examined?
