Tongfu Inn, everyone got up early today.

It’s not that everyone has become diligent, but that the shopkeeper is crazy about something, and early in the morning, he calls one by one.

And they didn’t just ask them to get up and open the door to do business, but they wanted to take them to buy things from house to house.

Of course, except for Beckham!

"Xiao Bei, keep sleeping. Sister-in-law is having something to do with you, Sister Xiao Guo." The shopkeeper comforted Xiao Bei who was awakened, and then she winked at Xiao Guo who was wearing clothes.

Xiao Guo, who was woken up early in the morning, was also very depressed, but the shopkeeper said so, so she could only helplessly leave her warm and comfortable bed.

Xiao Guo, who was shaking to the lobby, saw the scholar who was a little tired like her, and the two of them were sleeping in their arms holding Zhuzi.

Lao Bai, who was beside him, also looked helpless.

"Why are you all up?" Xiao Guo asked in surprise. The genius was just dawning at this time, and she thought she was the only one.

Hearing Xiao Guo’s inquiry, Xiucai and Dazui were still sleeping in their arms with Zhuzi.

The scholar waved weakly, but his mouth was not responding at all. Lao Bai looked up at the upstairs helplessly, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Come on, don't sleep anymore, guys, we have to set out quickly, or we won't be able to buy good things if we are late."

At this moment, the shopkeeper who returned to the room and got the silver ounces went downstairs again.

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Xiucai and Dazui woke up quickly.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Guo asked with a puzzled look on her face. She just got up and didn't know what she was going to do.

"I don't have time to explain, let's talk about it on the way." The shopkeeper did not explain, but went to open the door with a decisive and decisive manner.

Lao Bai took the opportunity to explain softly in Xiao Guo's ear. "The shopkeeper is going to choose a gift for Xiao Bei's upcoming teacher."

"Ah, no, right? It's just for such a small thing." Xiao Guo couldn't understand.

"Shh!" Old Bai quickly made a booing statement, telling Xiao Guo not to speak too much. He has been following the shopkeeper for many years and knew that once the shopkeeper's boss, he must not fight against her, otherwise the fate will be very miserable.

Xiao Guo also understood this. After several days of getting along, she also understood the shopkeeper's personality better, but she still asked in confusion.

"But, other stores have not opened yet, where can we buy them?"

Lao Bai remained silent, how could he not know? But who is the shopkeeper!

In this way, Tongfu Shopping Group set off early in the morning.

As Xiao Guo said, which shop opened so early? Even their inn has not opened yet.

Looking at the closed door in front of them, everyone was about to take the opportunity to persuade the shopkeeper.

But unexpectedly, the shopkeeper knocked on the door.

Manager Wei from Hanyuanzhai was originally wondering who would be this early?

As a result, it turned out to be Zhanggui Tong, so he had no choice but to open the door in advance to do business.

On the other side, Xiao Liu, who was rushing to Tongfu Inn, was out of here.

Looking at the closed door, Xiao Liu knocked on the door for a long time but no one responded. In the end, it was the door that Xiao Bei opened.

After learning from Xiao Bei that everyone had gone out early in the morning and didn't know when they would come back, Xiao Liu had to go to patrol the street first.

......

"Oh my god, I'm back, I'm so tired."

At noon, almost lunch, everyone returned to the store with big bags.

Xiao Bei, who was sitting in the lobby playing with sandbags and pig bones while waiting for everyone to come back, saw the big bags of people, as if he had just returned from a long way.

"You guys, are you going to loot the Seven Heroes Town?" Xiao Bei asked in confusion.

Everyone put all the big bags on the table, and the pile was as tall as a hill.

Xiao Guo and others quickly found a chair and sat down to rest. Xiao Guo poured himself a bowl of water, took a sip, and moistened his throat. Then he said unhappily.

"About this morning, your sister-in-law took us to sweep all the shops in Qixia Town."

The shopkeeper who was sitting on the main seat resting was not annoyed at all when he listened to Xiao Guo's words.

She looked at the gift as tall as a hill in front of her, as if she was looking at a spoil, and a satisfied and joyful smile appeared on her face.

"Ah, so many things, sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" Xiao Bei asked curiously.

"This is a gift for the gentleman." The shopkeeper shook the round fan in his hand and said with a smile.

"This, this... so many are given to the teacher?" Xiao Bei couldn't understand it, so she just went to school?

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes, this is called Liduo people, isn't it a big deal?"

"But you have too many of them, right?" Xiao Guo, who was standing beside him, interrupted. She had wanted to complain a long time ago.

Hearing Xiao Guo's words, Tong Xiangyu glared at her and said in an educational manner.

"What do you know? There are so many students in the academy. No matter how powerful the teacher is, he cannot cover everything. Let's give him enough gifts. At that time, the teacher is embarrassed to be biased even if he wants to be biased."

At the end, the shopkeeper laughed, as if he was praising his own resourcefulness.

Xiao Bei, who was standing beside him, looked at his sister-in-law like this, and listened to her words, and couldn't help but whisper in a low voice.

"I hope he is biased. It would be great that we can keep so many things ourselves."

"It's not that good." Lao Bai also answered the conversation at this time, but as soon as he said something, the shopkeeper glared at him. Lao Bai immediately changed his words and said with a smile.

"You have to give it, you have to give it absolutely! No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, no matter how hard you are, you can't be hard in gentlemen!"

Looking at Lao Bai's tactful look, the shopkeeper nodded with a smile. Then she seemed to feel that she had enough rest and quickly said to the scholar beside her.

"Scholar, take a look and write a gift list later."

"Okay!" The hardworking scholar immediately stood up and went to the counter to get his new abacus.

When everyone heard this, they helped to sort out the things. To be honest, they bought too many things in the morning, and they still can't remember what they bought.

"A set of four treasures in the study is worth 450 cents." The scholar calculated and reported while fiddling with the abacus.

Speaking of which, this scholar knew a thousand words at the age of three, memorized Tang poetry at the age of five, was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of seven, and was proficient in poetry, songs at the age of eight, and was also a child-prodigy.

Although I have never been able to pass the imperial examination, my memory is outstanding. Although I am not as good as Xiao Liu, I am also a well-known and memorable person.

As for why he has such a great memory but cannot pass the exam?

That's because the imperial examination is not easy to take. It doesn't mean that you can do it by memorizing it by rote. He wants to solve the questions, start the lecture, and get into the questions.

Everyone said that the ancient imperial examinations were eight-legged essays, but these eight-legged essays were actually just a style of writing. The examiners just asked you to use this style of writing to answer questions.

The content they test is to randomly extract a sentence from the Four Books and Five Classics, and then let you make your mind to answer.

To put it bluntly, the content of this exam is reading comprehension, composition, and strategy theory. In other words, there are no so-called multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank questions.

This means that there are no so-called standard answers to these questions. The answers all depend on the candidate's intention and writing style, as well as the mood and philosophy of the examiner.

And this is why there have been so many amazing people throughout history and have failed many times.

In addition, the age limit for the ancient imperial examination was extremely wide, and he could continue to take the exam in his fifties, and the number of places he selected was limited each time.

In other words, in addition to comparing with your peers, you also comparing with your father and grandfather generation.

And the older this person is, the deeper his writing skills and understanding are.

Therefore, it is just a normal phenomenon that scholars are in their twenties but fail to pass the exam again and again.

The reason why he was used as a typical example was that he was a child prodigy and was also a family of officials born, so people had too much expectations for him.

And the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
