The ancient road is very difficult to walk.
If it is said that sitting in a fully equipped carriage, it can only be said that it is generally difficult to walk. Now sitting in a simple donkey carriage, the person sitting in it can be thrown back and forth a thousand times in a day.
Lin Shiheng was okay, he seemed to have the calmness of "Let him go south, east, north and west, I will stand still".
Even if the man in the donkey cart can fly, he can still open the window and read a book in the sunshine outside.
And the one who was with him was miserable.
The one who went with Lin Shiheng, of course, did not have a long-term agreement to go to the provincial capital with him for the exam, but sat in his own carriage, with servants serving and salutes money, he should have gone to the provincial capital comfortably to take the exam. Talented.
This is a completely different comfort version from Lin Shiheng.
He claims to have a backstage and is from the same clan as the third-rank official of the imperial court, Lord Sun. He has always lived in his hometown, which is next door to Lin Shiheng and his county. Silver two servant carriages.
It's a pity that this show is an unlucky one. Originally everything was arranged properly, but halfway through, I happened to meet the robbers and robbed them of all their money. If this show was not good-looking , and immediately said that he could marry the robber's daughter as his wife, and he might not be able to save the lives of himself and his servants.
They ran away on the way back, separated from their servants, and had no money. He was still a young master with no ability to survive in the wild, and he could be called the number one unlucky person.
The great fortune in misfortune was that he met Lin Shiheng after he escaped, and he could follow him to the provincial capital to take the exam.
It's a pity that the delicate and expensive Sun Xiucai became dizzy.
Along the way, he almost spit out his bile.
The person vomited and felt uncomfortable in his mouth. Of course, he wanted to drink water. He didn't bring water himself, so he went to ask Lin Shiheng.
Often at this time, a scholar dressed in plain clothes, holding a book in his hand, with a warm smile on his face, will considerately take water out of his own baggage and hand it to a fellow traveler who has never lived.
It is very kind.
"A tael of silver."
Master Sun did not hesitate to hold the water bag to rinse his mouth. After rinsing his mouth, he leaned against the window with a hopeless expression, "Brother Lin, how much do I owe you?"
"Not much, eighty-two."
Lin Shiheng showed him a pure and kind smile, and Sun Xiucai's teeth ached when he saw it.
Most of today's scholars are full of politeness, righteousness and shame, and they disdain for the smell of copper. Otherwise, the bandit would not have been fooled by Sun Xiucai when he touched his upper and lower lips.
After all, in the world's impression, people who read are disdain to lie.
At least the scholars Sun Xiucai met were all of the above, but he never expected to meet Lin Shiheng.
"Brother Lin, have you ever said that you are very unlike a scholar?"
Lin Shiheng smiled kindly: "No."
"As a scholar, I should let my family and relatives live well. Now that I make reasonable money, why not?"
Sun Xiucai has been with him for so many days, and it can be considered that they have gotten along with him a little bit. Although it is said that he is occasionally choked on by this cheeky person, he is more respectful and considerate than those who are usually respectful and considerate, and the critical moment is behind his back. It is Lin Shiheng's direct price tag that makes him feel more at ease.
Although he wanted money, he still wanted money.
The two had a difficult journey all the way to the provincial capital... Oh, no, it was Sun Xiucai who had difficulty alone, and Lin Shiheng had a very easy journey along the way.
When he saw the plaque hanging on the city wall, Sun Xiucai's eyes turned red. He is only a teenager now, and he hasn't suffered much since he was a child. Now it's good, he has suffered enough for half his life. .
He couldn't wait to return to his own territory, and immediately jumped off the donkey cart and said goodbye to Lin Shiheng: "Thank you Brother Lin for taking care of me these days, I have relatives in this city, now I just need to find them, I hope Brother Lin will give me a place to stay, and when I settle down, I will have someone give you the money I owe you."
Lin Shiheng lifted the curtain and looked back at the city gate.
"You're young, don't be deceived again, do you want to give you another ride?"
Sun Xiucai shook his head. The place he was going was inconvenient for others to go to.
"Okay, let's stop here."
Lin Shiheng smiled and was about to put down the curtain, but Sun Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped him: "Brother Lin, you haven't told me where you are staying."
Without telling him the location, how could he send someone to send the money there.
The handsome scholar in the car shook his head and laughed, "No need."
Seeing Sun Xiucai's dazed expression, Lin Shiheng smiled and said, "When you and I met, you were all wounded and wary, you didn't touch my things, and your hungry stomach growled and refused to eat. Are you afraid of me being poisoned?"
Being told, Sun Xiucai's eyes narrowed suddenly, his whole body was tense, and his hand was quietly pressed on his waist.
"I think your hand is always on your waist, and there's a dagger there, right?" Lin Shiheng didn't take his vigilant appearance seriously at all, instead he said with ease: "If there is something wrong with me on the way, I'm afraid this dagger should be in my heart by now."
"And you're not a scholar who came to take the exam, right? The exam starts now, and you didn't bring a book with you, so you weren't in a hurry at all. When you stopped for repairs, you never mentioned borrowing books from me."
Sun Xiucai's body stiffened. He thought his disguise was flawless, but he didn't expect so many flaws. The voice of a teenager who was obviously only in his teens was extremely obscure: "Who the hell are you!"
"Didn't you tell Brother Sun earlier? A scholar who came to take the exam."
Sun Xiucai didn't believe it, not only he didn't believe it, but he was still thinking about it in his mind, who sent this all the way, and since there was a chance to harm him, why didn't he do it all the way.
"Since you see it, why are you pretending to be stupid?"
The scholar in the car smiled casually, "If I don't do this, will you eat my food and drink my water? I'm afraid you will starve to death before you reach the provincial capital."
Sun Xiucai's face froze, but this is true. If Lin Shiheng hadn't clearly marked the price, he felt that he was someone who was trying to make money. Even if he starved to death, he wouldn't touch his things.
But why should this man help him
What is he drawing
Sun Xiucai was thinking deeply here, but Lin Shiheng in the car raised his eyes to look at the sky, "Since you have reached the safe boundary, let's leave."
After he finished speaking, he lowered the curtain of the car and directly asked the driver to drive the car.
The humble donkey cart entered the city, and only Sun Xiucai, who was standing there, was blank and dazed.
Just gone
Did you leave without anything
It shouldn't be. The people he has come into contact with are either for the sake of fame or for profit, such as Lin Shiheng, who clearly sees his unusual status and does not leave anything. He is really the first.
Thinking of their gossiping, Lin Shiheng's inadvertently revealed talent, and the way he could stand still no matter how bumpy the donkey cart was, Sun Xiucai's young face gradually became clear.
Indifferent to fame and fortune, to see through but not to say anything, and in order to save him, he didn't care at all to put on a layer of love for money disguise on his body.
This is the real reader!
This kind of noble person, he must recruit him! !
The driver of the donkey cart was stunned while driving.
In the eyes of the people of Linjia Village, the driver was hired, but in fact, he was bought by Lin Shiheng, and even the donkey cart was bought together.
In today's world of "you sell me as a deed, you are my master", he fully regards Lin Shiheng, a talented scholar, as his master.
Originally, he thought that his master kindly picked up a scholar who also went to the exam and got into the car, but what Lin Shiheng said just now made him stunned for a moment.
Isn't this guy a genius
He listened to Lin Shiheng's lion's speech before, and the young master agreed again, and also made a fortune for his master, but what is the development now
In the end, he was still worried that his master would have a bad time in the provincial capital. The driver was rushing to drive the car, and he couldn't help but asked, "Young master, you really don't want to be paid? From such a far place to here, it's not enough to calculate the toll. less."
Lin Shiheng sat safely in the car, "I don't want it, he will give it."
"Reach out and ask, where is the style offered by others on their own initiative."
The driver was even more confused.
What does the young master mean by that, that young master Sun will come to the door to give him money
But they didn't tell Master Sun where they planned to live.
He was puzzled in his heart, and was too embarrassed to open his mouth to ask. He drove to an inn and entered with his young master.
The driver knew that his young master had money in his hand. When he drove to the county before, a clerk from the government came to deliver the money, saying what helped him a lot.
From then on, he knew that his master was very capable. Didn't he see people from the government come to make friends
Waiting for Lin Shiheng to get out of the car, he followed closely and asked carefully, "Master, do you live in the upper room?"
As for him, of course, it can be dealt with in any room.
"No." Lin Shiheng gave him the money: "Go and book two lower rooms."
The driver didn't understand why he had to live in a lower house if he had money, so he obediently booked two lower rooms.
That night, a man dressed as a servant walked into the inn and knocked on Lin Shiheng's door.
"Master Lin, I am a servant of the Sun family. This is a thank you gift from my young master, saying that it was the silver taels that were agreed before..."
Tsing Yi Shu grew up in a jade stand, frowned slightly, and turned his body to the left with a dignified face, while allowing the servant to see the environment of the next room, and said in a low voice: "I'm just doing my best to help Brother Sun, and I don't need any thanks. Li, take it back."
The servant saw the bad situation of the lower house with a few glances. It was too bad. Even a servant like him couldn't live there. Looking at the scholar Junyi in front of him, he was so poor that he could refuse such a thing. A lot of silver taels.
An image of an expert who doesn't admire money, has a pure character, and has a strong personality appeared in front of him.
When you go back, you must learn from your master.
Thinking of the master's words, he directly threw the thing in his hand from the space on the right that was made by Lin Shiheng to the left.
"Hey, you!"
Lin Shiheng seemed surprised, he turned around to pick it up and return it to him, but the servant turned and ran away.
"Master Lin, just keep it, this is my master's intention."
Watching him run away, the scholar seemed helpless to hold the silver tael and stood there, then gently closed the door.
As soon as the door closed, he lowered his head and nodded at the hundred taels in his hand, his lips slightly raised.
Gee, money again.
The money is so good.
