Chapter 344 Why are you so rude?

Yang Yuhuan glared at him: "What a promising person!"

The shopkeeper was more conscientious and had sent him a cup of tea.

The rich man drank a few mouthfuls madly and finally caught his breath: "Little baby, you can't keep these things. Aren't you afraid that they will go bad if you buy so many back?"

Yuan Baobao turned her head and looked at him with her big black eyes.

The rich man then remembered that the little princess had some extraordinary abilities.

Isn't it just a little snack? She could collect so many apricots without anyone noticing.

Suddenly, he felt a little distressed about his own small treasury, and estimated that he would bleed heavily today.

The shopkeeper was naturally smiling and said that he would send it to Prince Yi's Mansion later.

Yuan Baobao ran out happily, and opposite was the Zhuangyuan Pavilion.

Looking at the three characters of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, Yuan Baobao smiled.

"I heard that the number one scholar every year comes from Zhuangyuan Pavilion!"

Yang Yuhuan looked at them with envy. She hoped that her brother would be one of the lucky ones in a few years.

"Of course, two-thirds of the students stay in Zhuangyuan Pavilion. It's just a matter of probability!"

As for the inns next to Zhuangyuan Pavilion, they were much smaller in scale, and there were only a few people at the door. Business was not good.

Yuan Baobao just glanced at them indifferently and didn't think much about it.

"Little Princess, why are you here?"

Yuan Baobao didn't want to go to Zhuangyuan Pavilion, but unfortunately she was too famous. She was recognized when she walked to the door. A student shouted in surprise.

Yuan Baobao turned to look at her. She looked familiar, as if he had seen her in front of Master Feng's door that day.

"You are..."

The rich man stepped forward, stood in front of Yuan Baobao, raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I am Liu Congwen, a student who will take part in the imperial examination this year!"

Liu Congwen looked haggard. After the incident that day, his life was not easy. There were many students living in Zhuangyuan Pavilion, and more than a dozen of them who bought official positions were also isolated by the public.

Many people said that he had it all to himself, and some people took pleasure in his misfortune.

He also wanted to leave now, but he thought of the six thousand taels of silver he had spent, of which three thousand taels were borrowed.

In any case, he had to wait here, maybe he could really catch that guy surnamed Fang and recover some losses.

As for continuing to be an official, forget it.

Liu Congwen wanted to die. He didn't know how to explain to his parents when he got home. His family had high hopes for him, but his family's conditions were not very good.

His family was in business and had a store with average annual profits.

His family used all their money to support his studies, hoping that he could get a job and return home with wealth.

But now...

"Oh, I remember you. You are one of the victims, right?"

Yuan Baobao recognized him. Although he didn't know his name, he was impressed.

This person has a calm temperament and is capable of doing great things.

Yuan Baobao was also very curious. With Liu Congwen's personality, he would not normally take crooked paths and do such a thing.

"Let's find a place to chat?" Yuan Baobao was a little interested, mainly because he came out to play today.

Liu Congwen was flattered, but he still took Yuan Baobao back to his guest room.

"Why did you think of buying an official position? You don't look like the kind of person who would steal an opportunity to gain personal benefits."

Yuan Baobao said straight to the point.

Liu Congwen regretted it so much that the tough man burst into tears.

"I don't know why, but I was in a bad mood that night, so I had a drink with my two best friends, and then I heard that they were selling official positions."

"Actually, I didn't care about it at the time. I think a real man should do what he should do and shouldn't do what he shouldn't do, and he should never do such speculation!"

"But I don't know what happened at the time. My two friends said that this is the society now. If we don't spend money to give Lord Fang and let him help run the business, we can only be sent back to our hometowns."

"How many officials can the court need in a year? And how many children do those first-rank and second-rank officials have in their families? We are all students with similar grades. Why do they take care of us who have no money and no skills, and not take care of their own family members?"

"With only five or six thousand taels of silver, you can buy an official position. Even if the position is low, once you have an official position, you can work hard to climb up, and in return you will have a lifetime of wealth and glory!"

"I agreed to it in a daze, together with my two good friends!"

Yuan Baobao listened with relish, and did not forget to drink a sip of tea, smacking his lips.

[Isn't this Zhuangyuan Pavilion so good? The tea is not as good as the one in my home, nor as good as the one in my grandfather's house! ]

The shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Pavilion... The little princess really wronged him. How can the tea in his shop compare with the tea in Prince Yi's Mansion and the palace?

But since the little princess is here, he must bring the tea at the bottom of the box.

When the waiter brought another pot of tea, Liu Congwen was stunned.

When could he be treated so well? He simply couldn't imagine it.

But when he saw the calm and composed young princess, Liu Congwen knew that he was benefiting from the young princess.

"Liu Congwen, what you said is harsh!"

A young man of similar age walked in with an angry face: "We didn't force you to buy an official position with us. Didn't you agree to it yourself? Now that you say this, people who don't know will think we forced you?" The one who came in

with him also had an angry face.

Yuan Baobao just glanced at the two of them and curled the corners of his mouth.

[This person is interesting, his words are like farts! ]

[So stinky! ]

The square-faced man who spoke first turned his head and glared at Yuan Baobao, but would Yuan Baobao be afraid?

The answer is definitely no!

[He did buy it, but he has some friendship with Lord Fang!]

The square-faced man's expression changed, and his heart skipped a beat.

He almost wanted to run away.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I...@.#."

The square-faced man wanted to quibble, but found that he couldn't say the rest of the words.

This made him anxious and almost angry.

[You can earn 500 taels of silver by introducing a student to Lord Fang, you are so good at talking! ]

Liu Congwen's eyes were red, and his eyes were fixed on the square-faced man.

"You are talking nonsense, I...@.#."

It was too familiar to speak again. Liu Congwen had already run over, raised his hand and slapped the square-faced man on the face several times.

Even the one who came with the square-faced man raised his foot and kicked him hard.

The square-faced man screamed in pain.

"You are such a good fellow, Li Zizai, you even cheated us!"

"That's right, don't you feel guilty for making this five hundred taels of silver?"

Liu Xiangwen was also furious, and punched the square-faced man hard in the stomach.

Yuan Baobao was shocked and widened his eyes, how could these people be so rude?
