Chapter 166 The second book has become a hot topic

I saw the slave walking in in a hurry. Perhaps he was too excited to see the threshold and fell down hard.

Gao Qiu was in embarrassment. Seeing the slaves in such a state made him even more embarrassed and scolded him harshly: "What kind of behavior can you do if you are so frivolous in everything you do?"

"Isn't it just that the young master didn't win? Why should I be nervous?" Gao Qiu was relieved. With his son's virtue, it was strange that he could win. Anyway, he lost face, so he might as well lose it to the end.

"No, young master." The slave was about to correct him, but was stopped by Chen You. He said proudly, "It's normal for your young master to fail. Don't pay too much attention to it. He may have tried his best."

Then, he turned to look at Gao Qiu: "Brother Gao! My son failed this time, but he will have a chance next time. No one can blame him. The blame is that he shouldn't read miscellaneous books during the imperial examination. Can miscellaneous books be used as a candidate?

Do you want to eat?"

He seemed to be admonishing Gao Qiu, but he was actually sarcastic. The two had been secretly fighting each other for many years, and he was happy to see Gao Qiu deflated this time, and in front of so many relatives and friends.

"No, the young master was hit." The slave finally said.

"You hit?" When Gao Qiu heard this, he couldn't react. He looked at Nuo Jiong, as if he wanted Nuo Nu to repeat himself.

The slave understood and quickly said: "Yes, the young master has won, and he is still on the list. At this moment, the entire imperial examination prison is talking about how great the young master is, and he can actually suppress Mr. Shen and Shu Sunfu behind him."

"What did you say? Say it again?" Gao Qiu couldn't believe his ears.

"I mean, the young master won the second place on the list. Only one person can win this imperial examination. The other students are all left behind by the young master."

"Really?" Gao Qiu's body trembled, he didn't know how to react, his eyes were as wide as those of a cow.

"It's absolutely true. I think the imperial court will send a decree soon to allow the young master to join the imperial court as an official."

Yes, the young master was ranked second on the list, and the slave thought that it was certain that he would become an official in the court.

"Join the court as an official?" Gao Qiu had not yet come out of his excitement and fell into another excitement.

Entering the court as an official, great! I think that since the Gao family settled in Xianyang, they have been thinking about how to go further. He, Gao Qiu, has been working hard for this for most of his life, but he can't make any progress and can only be a co-worker. Because

In addition, I also fight openly and secretly with my colleagues, just hoping that one day I can go further.

But his son could enter the court and become an official after just one imperial examination. He was a little unable to adapt to the news.

"Have you said enough, Gao Qiuna! If you don't win, you won't win. Why let the slaves spread this panic? If you want to lie, just lie and spread a second place. What is the second place? That's what students all over the world are fighting for.

How can my son win a position that cannot be fought for even with blood, just by reading miscellaneous books? What a joke."

Chen You really didn't want to hear the news that Gao Fugui was on the list, so he sarcastically said that it was a fantasy. Gao Fugui could win the list only if God opened his eyes. No, even God would open his eyes.

Other guests also heard this and stood up one after another. You must know that those who come here want to see Gao Qiu's jokes. After all, everyone knows that Gao Fugui cannot win the ranking.

This is obviously a co-authored lie to save face.

They refused to follow his wishes.

"Brother Gao! Face reality!"

"It is impossible to even be shortlisted when reading miscellaneous books, let alone win the second place on the list. You should know that thousands of students are competing!"

"Don't treat this banquet as a celebration banquet, just treat it as a normal banquet! I will entertain you next time to save your face, haha!"

Some people laughed, some persuaded Gao Qiu to see the reality clearly, and some made excuses over the banquet.

Gao Qiu was not happy to hear this. He was lying. Why couldn't his son win the second place just by reading miscellaneous books? Why should he face reality?

Does this mean that the Gao family doesn't believe that his son is that unbearable? Of course, if it was before, he would have thought that his son would be like this, but now, he won't. If he believes in slavery, he will never be wrong.

After hearing the unkind words of these people, the slave could no longer listen and defended the Lord.

"Who said you can't win the ranking by reading miscellaneous books? The young master won the ranking by reading miscellaneous books."

Yes, many people have said that the young master’s answers are from the second book, and some people personally took out the second book to testify.

"Nonsense!" Chen You was angry.

Now that the imperial court has banned two books, this slave actually said that he won the second place on the list by relying on miscellaneous books. He was really addicted to joking and cursed, "You are slandering the imperial examination. Do you know that you are slandering your majesty?"

"Miscellaneous books are always miscellaneous books. How can banned books fall into the imperial examination, and how can they be admitted to the elegant hall? The most popular scholar this time is Young Master Shen. He must have won the first place on the list as he wished. Could it be that he also read miscellaneous books? Ridiculous.

Extremely."

The slave argued: "Yes, Mr. Shen doesn't read miscellaneous books, so he is not even qualified to be shortlisted."

"It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. You dare to slander Mr. Shen. The one who won the first place this time must be Mr. Shen. How could he not be shortlisted? When I heard this, I knew you were co-authored to trick everyone."

Then Chen You turned to look at the guests, "You guys said that, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Many guests agreed. They came just to watch Gao Qiu's plays, so naturally they couldn't miss any opportunity to watch the plays.

Gao Fugui looked at all this and was really annoyed by the brainlessness of these people. Why was it impossible for him to win the second place? If he was really not sure, would he have sent out an invitation letter? What a joke! He was very confident.

Yes, he had this confidence when he came out of the imperial examination prison. In fact, all the questions he proposed came from the miscellaneous books he read.

Just when he was about to speak out, another slave suddenly came to retaliate.

"Sir, Mr. Shen, the servant's son, would like to see you."

"Master Shen?" Gao Qiu frowned and secretly wondered how Master Shen could come to Gao Mansion without any reason. This has never happened before, but he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went out to greet him.

Soon, he welcomed Mr. Shen over.

As soon as Mr. Shen arrived, Chen You and all the guests were happy and respectful. Chen You cupped his hands and stepped forward to congratulate: "Congratulations to Mr. Shen for ranking first on the list. Mr. Chen is here to congratulate you."

Other guests also expressed their congratulations, which can be described as following the trend.

Mr. Shen was sincere and lowered his arrogance and handed it over: "I'm really ashamed. I have disgraced everyone's expectations and failed to win the first place on the list. I couldn't even be shortlisted. The one you want to congratulate is brother Fugui. He is the one who everyone expected to win."

Number two on the list.”

Mr. Shen completely lost his previous aloof arrogance, and actually bent down and came to Gao Fugui, asking for advice like a student asking a teacher.

"Brother Gao, this was just a misunderstanding. I would like to congratulate you."

What! When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be stunned. What kind of person is Mr. Shen? He actually bowed his head to Gao Fugui and even congratulated him? Didn't he win the first place on the list?

Wait, many people have reacted.

Is what slave said is true? Mr. Shen couldn't even make it to the finals, but Gao Fugui really won the second place.

This is so incredible!

Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed.

If they could question it before, they had no choice but to believe Mr. Shen's words. After all, Mr. Shen was the son of a powerful man and did not bother to lie. Moreover, it was obvious that he could lower his arrogance like this.

Chen You felt very uncomfortable. He obviously came to see a joke, but he didn't see the joke, but when he saw such a situation, he felt that he was inferior to others. He was very unconvinced, so he raised his hands and said to Master Shen: "Master Shen

, Everyone knows that the rich and powerful only read miscellaneous books, why did you win the second place on the list, don’t you?”

"Fart!" Mr. Shen suddenly became furious, pointing at Chen You and poking at him, "Are you insulting the imperial examination and His Majesty?"

"What Brother Fugui is reading is not a miscellaneous book, but a supreme book. Did you know that?"

"I long for such a sacred book, but you insult it."

"Hmph! Shen will definitely report this to his father without missing a word, so that he can inform His Majesty and punish you for your crime."

Mr. Shen showed his power as the son of a servant, and his whole body suddenly seemed taller, which was in sharp contrast to the low posture he had just stooped down.

When Chen You heard this, he was immediately frightened and quickly bent down and held up his hands to beg for mercy.

"No, that's not what Chen meant. Please forgive me."

He was completely cowarded.

But I never would have thought that a miscellaneous book about wealth and wealth would become a sacred book. How is this happening?

Mr. Shen seemed to notice that everyone was puzzled and wanted to please the Gao family, so he shouted in a loud voice, "Don't you know it yet? The so-called second book is not a miscellaneous book, but a book that is favored by His Majesty. The questions for the imperial examination came from it.

This is a book for governing the country and bringing peace to the country."

What? A book about governing the country and bringing peace to the country? Did the questions for the imperial examination come from it? These two books are so remarkable.

Everyone was shocked, and some people looked coveted.

But Mr. Shen didn't have time to see their reactions. After he finished speaking, he swept away the stunned people and immediately changed his posture. He smiled in a good voice and said to Gao Fugui: "Brother Gao, I have been admiring the second book for a long time. Can you please

Give up your love and sell it for one or two."

"I am sincere!" He quickly took out two thousand and a half taels from his arms, "According to what Brother Gao said that day, I have prepared two thousand and a half taels, and I beg you to buy two copies for me."

His attitude was so sincere that no one could have imagined.

Gao Fugui smiled and secretly said that this day has finally come.

Sure enough, what is said in economic theory is right. When a new product appears, it must undergo a transformation before it is accepted by everyone, and it may even dominate the market and become a hot commodity.

These two books are like this. Isn't today a transformation? Yes, he can imagine that after today, countless people will rush to buy the second book, and the second book will become something that everyone in Xianyang and even the surrounding areas will grab.

This is hot.

What was said in the Economic Theory was correct and the truth. For a while, he admired Li Zhao even more, as he was a master of economics! If he could worship him as his teacher, it would be a lifetime honor for him.

In stark contrast to Gao Fugui's plain expression, Gao Qiu was shocked. Yes, he was so shocked at the moment. He thought that at the beginning, he thought these two books were worthless and it would be a loss if he kept them. If his son hadn't stopped him at that time,

, I’m afraid he will sell it at a low price.

But he didn't expect that within a few days, the famous Mr. Shen actually spent two and a half thousand taels to buy it, and he only bought two copies. This made him incredible.

Then, he remembered his son's words: Old man, you don't understand.

Yes, he really didn't understand. He thought he had learned some tricks from his son in doing business, so he bought rice seeds from Chang'an Township.

However, there has never been any news about the increase in seed prices, and the son even said it was a loss-making transaction. Compared with the thousands of books his son bought, it only took a while for everyone to fight for it.

This is business!

Compared to his son, he is really inferior!

Why is this? He asked himself that he was no less intelligent than his son! But why was he so unbearable? Suddenly, his thoughts fell on the second book, two books that he had never read.

"Is it a problem with the Second Book?" He was confused, "It must be!" Then, he began to admire the Second Book.

Gao Fugui didn't know what his father was thinking. At this moment, his impression of Mr. Shen had changed a little. After all, he had just spoken for himself. Of course, he also said at that time that he would buy a copy for one thousand and a half taels. Seeing how rich this man was,

To be honest, it's not like he doesn't know how to behave.

"Seeing that Mr. Shen is so sincere, I will sell it to you anyway." Gao Fugui was happy and quickly asked his servant to get the second book.

Mr. Shen was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed quickly, "Thank you. Brother Fugui is really Mr. Shen's benefactor."

Indeed, Gao Fugui was his benefactor. In order to be able to accept new ideas, he consulted many capable people, but failed. However, this book was truly a new idea. He could have expected that with these two books,

He must make a qualitative leap.

The person who made him leap forward was high wealth and rank. Of course, the authors of these two books also contributed.

"I must meet the author of these two books." Mr. Shen made up his mind that such a powerful person is unparalleled in the world. If he can worship him as his teacher, he is willing to lose five years of his life.

After receiving the second book handed over by Gao Fugui, Mr. Shen was very excited, especially when he saw the shining big characters on the cover, he couldn't put it down. He hugged it tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid of losing it.

This action was seen by everyone, but they were so coveted. It was a book that was favored by His Majesty and could appear in the imperial examination! Everyone could imagine its value, so the whole banquet became a sensation.

"Brother Gao, my son happens to be taking the imperial examination, how about buying me a copy? I'll pay the two and a half thousand taels, and I'll pay it right away." A guest immediately took out a heavy bag of money and handed it over.

How could the other guests lag behind? They all took out their money bags and wanted to buy. Those who had no money quietly asked the servants to go back to the house to get the money.

Suddenly, the scene changed drastically, from a banquet to a market, how lively it was.

This time Gao Qiu was happy. He didn't expect that the shame he thought he had would turn into such a face. However, his mind also changed and he would no longer be greedy for a small amount of money. He said cruelly: "These two books

It has been banned and cannot be bought or sold. I apologize that Mr. Gao cannot violate the ban."

Gao Fugui looked at his father unexpectedly and gave him a thumbs up. His father was enlightened. Yes, these two books are new things. The price will be higher in the future. How can he buy and sell them easily?

Just like jade at that time, the price might rise several times or even more.

"What? We already paid two and a half thousand taels. Brother Gao, you can't do this! You can't hide such a good book." Someone was dissatisfied and jumped out to scold him, but how could Gao Qiu pay attention to him?

, I don’t see how they were sarcastic just now.

"What's wrong with me hiding it? You can do whatever you want with my things, you have nothing to do with them."

Everyone was extremely angry, but Mr. Shen on the side was very happy. If it hadn't been for his rescue just now, he might have been rejected like last time.

This time he was right.

At this moment, the slave at the door came in again and said hurriedly: "Sir, it's not good, the Gaofu Mansion is surrounded, and many students are asking to buy two books."

"This" Gao Qiu was stunned. The matter here had not been resolved yet, and he had to face the outside again. He couldn't handle it at all. The next moment, his face became serious and he quickly ordered Gao Fugui, "Quickly, hide the two books."

, must not let them know.”

So the two of them hurried away without seeing anyone, leaving behind the scolding guests.

Mr. Shen sighed again, thinking to himself that he thought the student was too naive. He expected that it would take a day for the student to react, but otherwise, he just stepped into Gaofu, and they followed behind. How quick they were to react.

Na!

Of course, none of this had anything to do with him. He had already bought the book, but he still followed the direction Gao Fugui left. He wanted to learn from Gao Fugui who the author of the second book was.
Chapter completed!
