After Li Yu finished washing, the cook, Mrs. Zhao, came to Li Yu and said, "Girl, Mr. Lucky Brother came back early in the morning to buy meat and vegetables. I'll hang them in the well for you to see what you and the young master want to eat."

Li Yu thought for a moment, "You cook a pot of porridge, and then make two light and appetizing side dishes."

"Okay, then you go and have a rest. I'll call you when I'm ready." Mrs. Zhao leaned back and retreated.

After Zhou Jia went out, he didn't come back until the end of Shen Shi. He found Yang and said, "Yu'er, Mr. Lin talked to me about the questions that might be available for the exam this year. He also said that he had taken the exam three years ago. He said that there were very many people in the room. It is narrow and there are only two wooden boards at the top and bottom inside. The upper board is used as a desk for writing and the lower one is used as a chair. When sleeping, the two boards are put together as a bed. There is a charcoal basin and a candle inside, and you have to deal with the rest by yourself. There are three exams in total, which are divided into the eighth, tenth and fourteenth days of the lunar month. The candidates will lock the door as soon as they enter the room and eat, drink and have diarrhea in there for three consecutive days."

After hearing this, Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia in surprise, "You can eat, drink, and have sex all in one place, how smelly is that?"

Zhou Jia spread his hands and said, "What can we do? They do this because they are afraid that the candidates will cheat."

Li Yu frowned, "Then we can only think of something. You go wash up, eat something and rest for a while."

"Yeah!" Zhou Jia rubbed his brows tiredly and walked towards the dining room.

Li Yu returned to the room and opened his travel bag, took out a pack of dried mint leaves and a pack of dried chrysanthemums, and put them aside to take to Zhou Jia to the examination room.

Early the next morning, Li Yu took some puhuang and went to several pharmacies one after another. After asking, he felt that the prices were not ideal. Some gave 40 cents per catty, while others only gave 20 or 30 cents.

Li Yu finally went to a pharmacy called Shen Ji Pharmacy. A handsome and smart-looking clerk stood at the door and asked with a smile: "Girl, do you want to buy medicine? Can you bring me the prescription?" ?”

Li Yu pointed to the oilcloth bag in his hand, "I'm here to sell puhuang, will you accept it?"

The clerk pointed to the old shopkeeper behind the counter, "Collect it. You can take it to Shopkeeper Shen to see if it's fine powder or coarse powder."

Li Yu saw a thin old man with gray hair standing behind the stage. He nodded to the waiter and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, brother."

Li Yu walked up to the counter and put the bag on the counter. He opened the bag and asked the old shopkeeper who was fiddling with the abacus, "Old shopkeeper, what do you think of my cattails? How much can they sell for a pound?"

The old shopkeeper raised his head and glanced at Li Yu, put down the pen in his hand, pinched a handful of puhuang in his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, then pinched it with two fingers and rubbed it back and forth, and nodded, "It's okay. , they are all fine cattail powder, how many of these do you have?"

Li Yu smiled and said, "Only one or two hundred acres of low-water land has produced more than two thousand kilograms of dried cattails. How much does your family charge per kilogram?"

The old shopkeeper pointed to the puhuang in the bag, "If the quality of your goods is like this, I will pay fifty cents per catty. If you are not satisfied, you can go to another store to have a look."

After hearing this, Li Yu was satisfied and said with a smile: "It's yours. Please let me go to Osmanthus Alley with me to buy the goods. Find the door. If you want it next year, you can tell me and I will send it to your shop."

Shopkeeper Shen smiled and said, "Then your goods next year must be the same as this year's. If the quality is different, it won't be worth the price."

"It's okay, we can look at the goods and discuss the price. If it's better than this, you won't have to pay more!"

"That's the truth. Once you see the girl, she is a cheerful person. I will go shopping with you right away."

Li Yu suddenly remembered that Zhou Jia said that he had to stay in the dormitory for food and accommodation for several days, and asked: "Old shopkeeper, may I ask, do you have the anti-odor and refreshing sachets used in the Gongyuan dormitory?"

"You can buy some borneol, camphor, galangal, and cinnamon, mash it and bring it to him, and you can also bring him some mint to soak in water."

"Okay, please give me some tips."

"Okay, just wait for a moment." The old shopkeeper stood up and opened the medicine cabinet behind him, grabbed the medicine and prepared it for the medicine boy to crush and put into the medicine bag. He handed it to Li Yu, "Girl, the sachet is ready. , Are you going to pull Puhuang now?"

"Go now, please." Shopkeeper Shen got on the mule cart and went to Osmanthus Alley with Li Yu.

When they arrived at Osmanthus Alley, Li Yu took out the Puhuang and checked the quality. "Okay, it's about the same as what you brought."

Shopkeeper Shen asked the coachman to fetch a large scale. One or two hundred acres of cattails were harvested. After drying, the total weighed was only 2,600 kilograms, which was not enough. After all, these cattails were sold for a total of one hundred and thirty taels of silver.

Li Yu sent shopkeeper Shen off to find Zhou Jia with the banknotes and medicine bag, and saw that he was still immersed in studying.

He held the banknote in front of his eyes and waved it, "Xiao Xizi, go out with your sister for a walk. These banknotes are all yours."

Zhou Jia took Li Yu's hand and smiled slightly, "Where are you this beautiful girl? Aren't you afraid that the young man will coax you into selling her?"

Li Yu patted his hand and said, "Xiao Xi, look, this is the money from selling puhuang. I also gave you a sachet to refresh your mind."

"Idiot, you can't bring the sachet into the sachet. The examiner is afraid that the candidates will write their answers in the sachet." Zhou Jia smiled and went to get the banknote on the table. "Let me see how much silver Xiaoyuer sold for. I want to buy it." Xiao Xizi will keep me company."

Li Yu patted his paws away, "Just open it and take it in the examination basket. Those cattails sold for one hundred and thirty taels! We are about to enter the examination room. Let's go out and relax together. The combination of work and rest will be more effective." good."

Zhou Jia stood up, took Li Yu in hand, and said with a fond smile: "Okay, I have been in Tongzhou for a year, and I haven't had a good time to go shopping. Let's just walk around today."

After Li Yu left, He Xiaoyu went to Li Yu's village and saw Ruyi leading the mule cart to the door. He Xiaoyu walked to the mule cart and took a look at Ruyi. She lowered her head and twisted her clothes, not knowing what to say.

If he saw her stopping in front of the car with his head down and not saying anything, he looked at her and said, "Miss He, do you have anything to do with me? If you have nothing to do, please let me go. I'm busy delivering fresh eggs to grocery stores and restaurants in the town." go."

"Ruyi, I have something to tell you," He Xiaoyu looked up at Ruyi and said hesitantly, "Ruyi, I, I went to see Sister Xiaoyu the day before yesterday and asked her to talk to Mr. Zhou and release your body contract. , Sister Xiaoyu, Sister Xiaoyu asked me to talk to you."

Ruyi frowned and looked at He Xiaoyu, "Miss He, how can you go to my girl on your own initiative? I told you that I will not leave the Zhou family, let alone my young master. You should find someone with the right family!" "

He Xiaoyu raised her head and looked at Ruyi with red eyes, "Ruyi, how can you say such a thing? You know you are the one I care about."

Ruyi looked at He Xiaoyu expressionlessly and said firmly: "I will never leave the young master and leave the Zhou family no matter what. Xiaoyu, you don't know that without the Zhou family and the young master, there would be no Ruyi without me. Your mother is right about us. It’s really inappropriate.”

After Ruyi said that, he turned around and left. He Xiaoyu stepped forward and pulled Ruyi's sleeves, "I don't want to find anyone else, I..."

Ruyi took out her sleeves and glanced at He Xiaoyu coldly, "That's your business and has nothing to do with me." After saying that, he drove the mule cart and left.

"You bastard." He Xiaoyu was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it at Ruyi. He went home angrily, threw himself on the bed and cried in grievance.
