Chapter 270: Ancient Imperial Examination 37



However, Li Yue was quicker to realize the problem than Zhao Shi and the others. Long before Chu Qi's fake identity was exposed, he had specially closed the door of the bookstore and went to Zhang Town to help solve the problem.

You know, if Ye Qingyun goes to jail, it will be like a stable cash cow for him...

Oh, I got it wrong. If Ye Qingyun goes to jail, it would be equivalent to him losing his good friend for a year or two!

Make money! ——How can we wait for a year or two to maintain friendship?

We must rescue him!

Get him out as soon as possible!

When Li Yue returned to the bookstore, Chu Qi's problem was also resolved.

Li Yue was so angry that he even used his father's remaining influence to find many people in Zhang Village who spread rumors and reported them to the mayor.

The mayor was frightened by Li Yue's father, a retired scholar, and dared not embarrass the Ye family anymore. However, he was very depressed as he could not make any money and felt that his work was in vain.

In order to vent his frustration, he punished those who spread the rumors:

Each of them was beaten with five boards and fined one hundred coins.

One hundred cents, that would mean the lives of the entire families of those rumor spreaders!

Let’s not talk about how they regretted it for now. After this wave, the people in Zhang Village finally understood everything.

It turns out that Ye Qingyun has such an awesome friend, and he’s also a “Wenquxing” with many readers.

Can't afford to offend!

From then on, when Huang Ying and a few friends walked in Zhang Village, they would no longer be stared at or talked about by others. They were all like quails.

They were afraid that Huang Ying would be unhappy and tell Ye Qingyun, and then Ye Qingyun would come and clean up their house.

This incident of being forced to go to jail also made Chu Qi realize more deeply how powerless ordinary people are to resist under the oppression of power.

She almost went to jail just because someone hated her.

If it weren't for Li Yue's father, a juren scholar, Chu Qi would have suffered a lot.

Imperial examination!

Take the exams to become a scholar, a juren, or even a jinshi!

She must climb up until she is free.

Inspired by the energy in his heart, Chu Qi studied harder in his dreams at night and slacked off less during the day.

Zhuang Qiuyi, who was taught by Chu Qi, also deeply realized the risks this time. He understood that only by studying hard and passing the imperial examination to become a scholar or juren would he have a chance to turn things around.

Little Zhuang Qiuyi silently swore in his heart that he must study hard, pass the imperial examination, and become an official in the future to repay the Ye family.

No matter how laughable the immature Zhuang Qiuyi's "ambitions" are at this moment.

But he did start working on it.

I no longer think about playing around every day. Instead, I can study with all my effort without anyone urging me.

This incident has both good and bad sides.

The one most affected was Mr. Ye.

He was already in poor health, and this time, because of Chu Qi's matter, he was so anxious and angry that he fell ill all of a sudden.

Even with his great-grandson Ye Ruoxue trying to cheer him up, he still couldn't cheer up.

The Ye family saw it and were worried.

Chu Qi went to the town to invite a doctor to come back to see the patient. The doctor frowned and wrote a prescription, saying with some reluctance:

"This time, the prescription contains some very precious herbs. I'm afraid you can't buy them even if you have money..."

For Grandpa Ye, Chu Qi ran all over the town, but couldn't find the three medicinal herbs.

A drugstore owner pointed out to her that these medicinal ingredients were not available locally but were available from other places.

But as it happens, these flavors have been sold out.

New stock is still being ordered and it may take anywhere from three months to a year to be replenished.

Mr. Ye couldn't afford to wait.

Chu Qi then ran to Yu Town to inquire.

I asked Li Yue by the way, but Li Yue's family didn't sell medicinal herbs, so I had to ask someone to help me find it.

Upon hearing that "Mr. Chu Qi" was in Yu Town, Zhao Shi, who was at school, sneaked out and insisted on meeting the incarnation of "Jiang Nu" in his mind.

Not to mention, Chu Qi himself is very handsome and elegant, and he is only sixteen years old this year, which is the age when a young man's body is in good shape.

With red lips, white teeth and loose hair, she is so beautiful that it is hard to tell whether she is androgynous. It is not an exaggeration to call her a beauty.

Zhao Shi had only heard of the rumor that Ye Qingyun had passed the examination to become a student, but had never met him in person.

He sneaked into Li's Bookstore and took a peek at the legendary Mr. Chu Qi. For a moment, he was actually shy because of his beauty.

actually.....

It’s not a bad idea to think of him as “Ginger Girl”!

Zhao Shi was shy, his cheeks flushed as if he was drunk. He did not act as frankly as he did when facing Li Yue. Instead, he stepped forward shyly and greeted Chu Qi.

Chu Qi was frowning, worrying about her grandfather's affairs, when she suddenly heard someone greeting her. She was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and looked over.

Zhao Shi acted out the frenzy of modern people seeing their idols.

When Chu Qi looked at him, his cheeks turned redder and he said excitedly:

"Mr. Chu, I like you very much and the stories you write. Every time you sell them, I am the first to buy them...

I, I have a lot of your first drafts collected at home!!”

"Cough cough cough!" Li Yuepo coughed guiltily. He did not tell Chu Qi about the sale of the first draft.

I feel embarrassed that it has been exposed now.

But selling a draft is much more profitable than selling a transcribed copy.

When a person becomes famous, his handwriting, which was previously ignored, becomes popular as well.

Take this first draft for example, it was sold at a sky-high price of over one hundred coins, but there are still fanatical fans who buy it.

And because it was discovered that the handwriting matched some of the books in the bookstore, those books were quickly sold out.

Chu Qi was originally worried about her grandfather's affairs at home, but after hearing Zhao Shi's "confession", her face turned a little strange.

This was the first time in her two lifetimes that a "fan" confessed to her. She looked away a little uncomfortably and nodded calmly, "...Thank you for your kindness."
