Chapter 31 Borrowing Money

Yan Tongliang rubbed his hands together, feeling a little embarrassed. He borrowed money from Yan Hu to watch the game last year, but he has not paid it back yet. Yan Hu's eyes turned, "Brother Six, do you want to borrow money from me?"

"Sister, you are so smart." Yan Tongliang praised.

"How much do you want?" Yan Hu asked.

Yan Tongliang stretched out his right hand and asked with a flattering smile: "Fifty taels, can it be done?"

"Okay." Yan Huo agreed readily. Although her monthly silver was only three taels, she could make money when she was young. She got a lot of good things from King Rong, Princess Rong, Grand Tutor Yan, Old Lady Yan and others. She was a real rich woman.

Yan Huo entered the inner room, took out five silver notes of ten taels from the box containing gold and silver flasks, and handed them to Yan Tongliang, "Sixth Brother, I'll give it to you."

Yan Tongliang took the silver notes and said silly: "Sister, thank you. Sister, I have borrowed a total of 160 taels of silver from you, and I will definitely return it to you in the future."

"It doesn't matter if you don't pay it back." Yan Hu waved his hand generously. When she was one year old, Princess Rong gave her a shop, and the annual income was tens of thousands of taels of silver. Although she didn't see any of these silver, she was taken away by Princess Nanping, saying that she was kept as a box of silver for her, but the elders in her family loved her and she was not short of silver.

"I have to pay it back, I have to pay it back. Sister, I'll go buy the ticket first." Yan Tongliang turned around and followed, afraid that it would be too late to buy the ticket.

The Cuju competition was in full swing, and the gambling house also opened for people to bet on the bets; Princess Heyi, the little gambling ghost, sneaked out of the palace to find Yan Huo, "Xiaoxiao, let's bet to earn some pocket money."

Yan Huo glanced at her sideways and said, "Don't bet, you lost 1,000 taels of silver last year and were punished by your mother for not being allowed to eat pastries. Have you forgotten?"

"The news last year was wrong, so I will definitely win this year." Princess Heyi said authentically.

Yan Huo laughed, "You said so last year."

"Xiaoxiao, are you really not gamble?" asked Princess Heyi.

Yan Huo shook her head. She didn't like gambling at all. A gentleman loves money and makes it well, although she is just a little lady.

Princess Heyi's eyes rolled, "Xiaoxiao, hehe. Xiaoxiao, hehe."

Yan Huo saw her and Yan Tongliang's expressions exactly the same, and asked speculated: "You don't want to borrow money from me, right?"

"Oh, Xiaoxiao, you are so smart." Princess Heyi smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

"No." Yan Qiu refused flatly. Her sixth brother borrowed money to watch the game and could support him. This girl borrowed money to gambling and should not be tolerated.

"Xiaoxiao!" Princess Heyi rushed over and pressed Yan Huo on the couch, "Lend me money."

Princess Heyi stayed in the palace to study. Queen Yu felt that her granddaughter had worked hard and was spoiled by everything. In just a few months, Princess Heyi became more rounded. A mountain of meat pressed against Yan Huo, almost letting Yan Huo go to see his ancestors in one breath, "Heyi, you...you...you get up." Yan Huo really wanted to persuade Queen Yu to feed less food to this fat girl. If you continue to eat, the fat girl would be the same.

"Let me lend me money." Princess Heyi smiled.

Yan Hu reached out to scratch Princess Heyi's fat waist. Princess Heyi was afraid of itching. The two little girls rolled into a ball on the bed and laughed for a while. Yan Hu broke away from Princess Heyi and smiled sly: "Heyi, we are good friends, and good friends talk about money and hurt feelings, so for our relationship, I can't lend you money."

Princess Heyi was stunned for a moment, and then said for a while: "Xiaoxiao, you... seem to make sense. Since I am speechless." Without borrowing money, Princess Heyi could not make bets and could not gamble money, so she had to go back to the palace first.

The Cuju competition is in full swing. The candidates on the autumn examination stayed in Beijing and were waiting to participate in next year's spring examination. Of course, they did not always study hard behind closed doors, but held various literary meetings to make friends with literature, discuss Taoism with literature, and compete for the best of the inferiority of literature. However, Fu Zhixing never got involved in these literary meetings. So, there were rumors that Fu Zhixing's name of Jie Yuan was not true.

"The clown jumping, I don't know what it means." Fu Zhixing disdains such boring things.

But Fu Zhixing's admirers, or his admirers, could not sit idly by. Chenghe County Lord sent many people out to "threat" those scholars, but this practice made the rumors spread more and more outrageous, and also involved the two examiners, and even began to slander the Anguo Duke's Mansion, involving the century-old reputation of Anguo Duke's Mansion. Although the people and the people of Anguo Duke's Mansion all had the attitude of being the Qing people to be clear, the emperor did not allow this situation to happen. Therefore, the oral orders made Fu Zhixing compete with those dissatisfied literati in the Caizilou.

The emperor's order is difficult to violate, even if Fu Zhixing is unwilling to do so, he has to face the challenge. Moreover, it is common to compete with the students, fighting wisdom is also a matter of elegance. The whole city caused a sensation. On the day of literary battle, there were crowds of people outside the Talented Tower.

Yan Huo, who followed his brother and a few cousins, sat on the second floor of the Talent Building with his brothers, and looked out from the window facing the street, "Why haven't Cousin Fu come yet?"

"Don't worry, what you said is that important people are always the last one to appear." Min Xiangbai smiled.

"That's right." Yan Huo laughed, "Brother Jiu, I want to eat pine nuts."

"I'll peel it, I'll give it to you." Yan Tongming handed her Song Ziren.

"Thank you, Brother Jiu." Yan Huo said in a sweet voice.

Yan Tongming smiled and said, "I will continue to peel it for you."

"Yeah." Yan Hu nodded and stuffed a few pine nuts into his mouth.

Downstairs, Fu Zhixing didn't arrive for a long time, and the onlookers were talking, "You're afraid to fight, don't you dare to come?"

"Is it true that the examiner was bribed? I didn't have real knowledge."

"He has ruined the reputation of the talented man in Yanjing."

Some people can understand, "Mr. Fu is a person who inherits the title. Do you need to bribe the examiner to be Jie Yuan?"

"That is, Mr. Fu is the grandson of Duke An Guo and a nobleman. He doesn't have to participate in the imperial examinations at all, so he can become an official."

"Mr. Fu is 15 years old and has a talent and knowledge. You are jealous of him and have started this literary fight."

"That's right, that's right." Yan Huo nodded. The talent of cousin Fu was not comparable to these mediocre talents.

The person below said again: "Since he is so talented, why haven't he shown up yet?"

"The agreed time is Mishishima. It's not time yet. Why are you anxious? You haven't gotten into the room yet."

"If you have something important, go away quickly, no one will keep you."

"That's right, don't get in the way here."

The man dared not speak anymore.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, a carriage slowly drove over from the street. The sign on it was Anguo Duke's Mansion. The onlookers shouted: "Here, come."

Everyone gave in. The carriage was parked outside the Caizi Building. The car door opened. Fu Zhixing, wearing a blue shirt, got off the carriage, with a smile on his lips.

"Mr. Fu, we support you, Mr. Fu, we believe in you." Someone shouted.
