No matter how Zhao Shi coaxed him or tried to bribe him with money, Li Yue kept his mouth shut and refused to tell him the author's true identity.
Later, someone spread rumors that Mr. Chu Qi was actually the vixen Jiang Nu who was repaying a favor.
Before she became an immortal, she was reluctant to say goodbye to the gentle scholar, so she wrote this story herself, just to commemorate her extraordinary love with the scholar...
Well, this fantasy-themed rumor is quite outrageous.
Those who believe are still in the minority.
....
Upon learning that "The Fox Spirit's Repaying Gratitude" was about to have its finale, and that it was limited to only 30 copies and suspected to be out of print, Zhao Shi sent his servant to buy them early.
This rush to buy caused a small storm. There were thirty copies and hundreds of people scrambling to get them. It was almost like their heads were about to burst.
The book boy managed to grab a copy by brute force.
Zhao Shi came back from school and read the entire text eagerly. He felt regretful, thinking that Jiang Nu's story was really coming to an end this time.
He wiped his tears sadly and went to class listlessly the next day.
Then on the third day, Li Ji Bookstore released the news that Mr. Chu Qi’s second story would soon be sold at Li Ji Bookstore!
Those who are interested can pre-order in advance.
But this time the price is not as cheap as before, one chapter costs ten cents.
This is the benefit of being famous. Before, the price was seven cents, and some people thought it was expensive. Now that it is ten cents, no one complains.
Within half a day of the announcement, ninety orders came in, and the number is still increasing.
Correspondingly, if the story sells well, Chu Qi's royalties will also increase, from one cent per twenty words to one cent per ten words now.
Income has almost doubled.
The money Chu Qi could send back home every month increased by half.
While everyone was guessing what the story was, Chu Qi's second story "Love Song of the Jianghu" began to be sold in Li's Bookstore.
In order to extend her money-making opportunities, Chu Qi's story line was extended a lot this time, enough to support her for at least half a year.
Time passes slowly.
Chu Qi didn't realize how much time passed while studying in her dream, but in reality she did study slowly for several decades!
Decades!
She had studied hard for twelve years in her previous life to get into her ideal university, but she had never worked so hard!
On the day when the news of the preparations for the Tongsheng Examination reached Master Jiang's School, Chu Qi could hardly hold back her tears of joy.
Finally, she can finally show her skills...
Congratulations. Congratulations.
The Tongsheng examination was held in Zhang County, Yuzhou, and the counties above Yuzhou sent people to supervise the examination.
The rank of the teachers invigilating the examinations ranged from Juren at the highest to Xiucai at the lowest, and they were all minor officials in the imperial court.
However, the temple is small and the evil spirits are great. For a minor official in such a huge dynasty, and for ordinary people, it is no less a challenge than a three-year-old child facing a tiger.
Therefore, even the small examination for students to become students was very solemn and did not allow any favoritism or fraud to exist.
.....
Chu Qi packed up his gold and silver jewelry, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and prepared to leave for Zhang County.
Zhang County is at least seventy miles away from Yuzhen, where Master Jiang’s school is located.
If you walk there, it will take about five or six days.
In addition to walking, you can also choose to take a donkey cart.
If you set off half a month in advance, you will have plenty of days left to rest and review your lessons when you arrive.
The scholars who shared the dormitory with Chu Qi also packed their things and prepared to leave.
Because the original owner often did not attend school, Chu Qi did not like to communicate with them. Although they were in the same dormitory, they were not even familiar with each other's names.
The three people who had a very good relationship invited each other to go together.
Her roommate ignored her, but Zhang Shiyang, a scholar from the same village as Chu Qi, came over to invite Chu Qi to go to Zhang County together.
In fact, this is also a tradition. The original owner went there twice before with Zhang Shiyang.
What the original owner told his family, that he did not do well in the exam because he had diarrhea, was not a complete excuse.
After all, the original owner had not been addicted to gambling during the first exam.
Although the original owner did not work hard at that time, he still had a lot of knowledge in his head. If he worked hard, he might be able to pass the examination and become a student.
However, because of the failure of diarrhea, the original owner gradually doubted his ability, and then became depressed and complained about everything. Then he was lured into the gambling house by gangsters...
If the brain is not used, it will degenerate.
The original owner hadn't used his brain for two years, and his mind was full of thoughts about winning money and gambling. So the memories that Chu Qi inherited, except for the basic ones that were not easy to forget, the rest were really blank.
However, the first diarrhea can be said to be an accident, but what about the second time?
These two times, there was always a Zhang Shiyang by my side...
Although there is no evidence to accuse him of doing it, who can be sure that he is innocent? .....
Looking at Zhang Shiyang's enthusiastic smile, Chu Qi showed a strange smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Brother Ye?"
Zhang Shiyang felt that the smile of the young man in front of him was somewhat chilling, and his scalp tingled.
He has something to hide.
He would involuntarily try to figure out what Chu Qi meant by every move she made.
Chu Qi smiled warmly and said, "It would be nice to go to the exam with Brother Zhang. It would be nice to have someone to take care of me on the way. Wait a minute, I'll go get my things and then we can set off."
Zhang Shiyang relaxed after hearing this.
There is an official road between the town and the county.
Moreover, there were soldiers guarding every few meters, so the rampant robbers did not dare to rob the students who were taking the exams.
If they were discovered by the government, it would be considered a slap in the face of the government, and the court would be furious. At that time, they would send troops to wipe out the bandits in that area.
