Chapter 335: To Dayu County
The Zhezhou General Mansion, also known as the Regent Hall, was an institution where the general of the Southern Yan Kingdom acted as regent and used the military as the government. There were disputes in the world, and the military attachés of the Ling family took precedence over civil affairs. Although the literary style was popular, it was difficult to do anything in the end, and was hidden from the world.
Forgot behind.
However, the emperor still upheld the customs of his ancestors, and although the status of the literati and scholars had plummeted, they still enjoyed a high reputation, but unfortunately they had no real power.
In order to support this last bit of honor as a scholar, the general of Nanyan State resisted the pressure of the ministers in the court and set up a scholar order, which greatly enhanced the honor of the scholars. Only the scholar order can be truly elegant!
"What a fucking fart..." Brother Ji looked at the notice next to the General's Mansion for a long time, raised his eyebrows and popped out a few words.
Damn it, as long as you can write an article, you can get it. The prerequisite is to pay a thousand taels of silver. I wonder, what is the difference between this and spending money to buy a driver's license?
I don’t have a thousand taels of silver, and I don’t have an article either. Damn it, how about I finish the Zhezhou Commercial Bank tonight and come back tomorrow?
No, no, if I leave in such a dejected manner, wouldn’t I be very embarrassed? Money, money.

Brother Ji rolled his eyes, reached out and took out a platinum necklace from the storage ring.
"Hey, there's no need for this thing anyway. Sister Dieyou doesn't like wearing it anymore, so I just used it to pawn some money. Hum, but I need to change my outfit."
Brother Ji returned to the door of the paper and pen shop, "Chen Long, Chen Hu, you go back first, leave these things to me. By the way, give me the address you agreed on, and I will go find you after finishing the work!"
"Well? Sir, isn't this inappropriate..." Chen Long looked confused.
"Whatever is appropriate, that's it! You go, leave the rest to me!" Brother Ji waved his hand and asked these people to leave first.
At this time, the shopkeeper of the paper and pen shop slowly walked out and smiled faintly, "Hey, this 'scholar', why are you back? Don't be kicked out because you can't even enter the gate of the General's Mansion.
Alright?"
Brother Ji sneered, "Remember what you said, if I hold the Shizi Order, your life and the things in this store will belong to me!"
"What a loud tone! Huh, if that's really the case, I'll give it to you! Don't come and take it with your life!" The shopkeeper snorted and looked at Chen Long and the others with disdain, "Untouchables, don't stand here
The door of my store is hindering my business, so get out of here!"
Everyone gave the shopkeeper an angry look and left immediately.
Brother Ji separated from everyone and started shopping alone in this commercial street. The two surrounding streets were full of relatively high-end shops, whether they were daily necessities or weapons stores, they were all relatively large-scale.
When he came to a clothing store, Brother Ji nodded secretly and walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, are you here to choose clothes?" A graceful landlady walked towards me. This woman was wearing heavy makeup, she was between forty and fifty years old, and her watery eyes were very seductive.
Brother Chicken chuckled, feeling a little stirred in his heart, "Sister, please be polite." As he said that, Brother Chicken bent down slightly and made a gentleman's salute.
The landlady was stunned, "Hey, the guest officer is a scholar?"
"Haha..." Brother Ji gently tugged on the animal skin clothes on his body, "I went into the city yesterday and encountered a heavy snowstorm, and my clothes were too thin. Ahem, I met a group of hunters who came to the city to do business.
They bought a set of leather coats to keep out the cold. The sky is clear today, and the students’ clothes were sent to the inn for cleaning, so they simply came to buy new clothes.”
The landlady saw that Brother Ji was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was kind, indifferent, and polite. She immediately believed him and said, "It turns out he is a young master. I am so polite! I wonder what size the young master is. Is it custom-made or bought now?"
Brother Ji waved around and said, "It will take some time to order. I will leave tomorrow and I still need to go north to study. Buy it now!"
The landlady giggled and said, "Young Master is very casual. It doesn't matter, you are not big and you can easily choose your jokes. What kind of clothing material do you need?"
"Um..." Brother Ji scratched his head a little because of the rare opportunity, "In the past, my concubine at home chose clothes for me, and I don't know the market. Why don't you introduce me to my sister, and I'm all ears."
The boss's wife smiled even more, "That's it. Well, the young master will come with the slave's house."
Brother Chicken followed behind the landlady, constantly asking questions and speaking humorously, which made the landlady very fond of him.
"Sir, this is a white brocade dress. You can put a white green shirt on the outside as a lining!" The landlady held up a very noble dress and handed it to Brother Chicken.
Brother Ji shook his head slightly and said, "It's an insult to elegance... Oh, sister, you are so rude. However, this brocade is too showy. I am a scholar who is restrained and educated, so it is not suitable for fancy clothes. Sister, ordinary scholar's clothes are fine!"
"
"Haha, in that case, sir, what do you think of this silk green shirt?" As she said, the landlady took out a green hanging robe, "This material is also of high quality and the workmanship is fine. Wearing it can also keep out the cold in winter. Many scholars like it.
I like it very much!”
Brother Ji chuckled and nodded, "Not bad! Let me give it a try..."
"Young Master, please go to the inner room!" The landlady smiled slightly and guided Brother Ji to the fitting compartment inside.
Brother Ji quickly changed his clothes, threw the animal skin clothes aside, and kept looking at the brass mirror.
"Hey, he's so handsome!" This hanging robe is slightly shorter than the robe, and a light cloth cape is also put on the outside, which complements each other. However, although the hanging robe is short, it also makes Brother Ji's streamlined shape
The figure is perfectly straight!
Brother Ji pinched his fingers and touched his face narcissistically a few times before reluctantly walking out, "So handsome, tsk tsk!"
When Brother Ji appeared in front of the landlady, her eyes suddenly lit up. To be honest, Brother Ji was just a clothes hanger. He was 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a straight waist. This robe looked short, but he was
His figure was highlighted.
"Sister, the clothes are a little too small. Please change them into one size larger!" Brother Ji shook the corner of his clothes and smiled, "Sister, bring me another fur cloak. I can change with you."
superior!"
"elder sister?!"
"Ahem, boss lady!"
Brother Chicken screamed several times, and the landlady finally came to her senses. She was stunned for a while and looked at Brother Chicken with a red face, "Sir, what did you say?"
In desperation, Brother Chicken had to repeat what he said before. The lady boss nodded quickly, took what Brother Chicken said, and handed it to Brother Chicken.
This time, Brother Ji spent even more time trying on the clothes. The size of the clothes was just right, and the cape on his shoulders was fluffy, which made him look very bold. In addition, there was an embroidery on the back of the cloak, which was very delicate and very elegant.
pretty!
Brother Ji was very satisfied with this outfit. He looked around in the landlady's admiring eyes and said, "Sister, how do you feel?"
"Okay...Okay...it looks good!" The landlady nodded blankly.
"Hey, okay, that's it!" Brother Ji pleated the animal skin coat and wrapped it up, "Sister, how do you calculate the price? Haha, I have something else to do, I have to go."
The proprietress let out a slight breath, but the blush in the corners of her eyes still hadn't dissipated. When this guy heard that Brother Ji was about to leave, his eyes were as charming as silk, and he said softly, "Twenty taels for a hanging shirt, and sixty taels for a fur cloak. Sir, you pay seven
Twelve taels will do...Young Master will leave tomorrow, so you might as well come and sit in my sister’s shop after finishing your work today!”
Brother Chicken suddenly felt ashamed, took out seventy taels and handed it to the landlady, "Sister, here is the money, seventy taels! Ahem, I'll come when I have time, come when I have time!" As he said that, Brother Chicken hugged the animal skin coat.
, fled in embarrassment.
The landlady was stunned for a while, then she giggled, "You really are a scholar, you are so thin-skinned! Haha..."
After walking more than 20 meters away from the clothing store, Brother Ji was relieved, and suddenly he was shocked, "Oh, seventy taels, so expensive?! Am I going to be ripped off?"
But when he looked at the clothes he was wearing, Brother Ji was a little uncertain, "This outfit is high-end... Well, forget it, if the boss lady wasn't too old, I might actually stay and sit around for a while."
Alas... tsk tsk!”
Looking left and right, Brother Ji suddenly laughed, "Pawn shop, meow, I'm looking for you!"
Entering the pawn shop, Brother Ji arranged his clothes and knocked on the counter gently, "Is there anyone there?!"
I'm so confused. Why don't people look at the shops here, and everyone likes to go inside? Damn, if you encounter a thief, he will just take a handful of things, and no one will probably notice it.
"Come on, come on!" Sure enough, a boy ran out from the back hall, saw Brother Ji, and saw that he was holding a package of things in his hands. He quickly stepped forward respectfully and asked, "Sir, are you here to pawn something?
?”
"Hey, I'm not here to pawn something, am I here to buy something from you?" Brother Ji sneered, "Where's your shopkeeper?"
"Is the shopkeeper drinking tea in the back hall? Master, this..." Suddenly, the boy looked troubled.
Brother Ji was surprised, "If anything happens, tell me!"
"Young master, there are rules in the store. If it is an ordinary item, we guys will do the measurement and settlement. I don't dare to bother the shopkeeper..." The young man complained in his heart. Most scholars are proud. He didn't know
He thought that he had been slapped by many people for this rule. Unfortunately, no matter how poor he was, he was still a scholar, and it was not something that a little boy like him could afford to offend.
In fact, after saying this, the young man regretted it. He only saw him holding a bag of animal skins, but this young man's clothes were worth a lot of money. Why was he so ignorant?!
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not a valuable thing!" Brother Ji smiled and helped the trembling boy, "Here, help me take a look!"
As if he was receiving an amnesty, the young man felt extremely grateful to Brother Chicken, "Sit down, sir, and I'll take a look at it for you!" The young man invited Brother Chicken to sit on a chair aside, and said to himself, this young man is a nice person, I can do it for him.
Add 10% more to the price!
Unexpectedly, when Brother Ji took out the platinum necklace, the boy was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and didn't dare to take it. After a while, the boy suddenly came back to his senses and ran straight to the back hall, "Shopkeeper's
