Chapter 155 Ancient Farmer (12)

The ancient road was very difficult to walk.

If you are sitting in a fully equipped carriage, it can only be said that it is generally difficult to move. Nowadays, sitting in a simple donkey carriage, the person sitting in it can be thrown back and forth a thousand times a day.

Lin Shiheng was okay, he seemed to have the calmness of "Let the winds blow from the southeast, northwest, and I will stand still."

Even if the person riding in the donkey cart can fly, he can still open the window and read in the sunshine outside.

But the one who was traveling with him was miserable.

The person who walked with Lin Shiheng certainly did not agree to go to the provincial capital with him to take the exam. Instead, he was riding in his own carriage, surrounded by servants and money. He should have gone to the provincial capital comfortably to take the exam. Scholar.

This is a completely different and comfortable version of Lin Shiheng rushing to take the exam.

He claimed that he had a good background. He was from the same clan as Mr. Sun, a third-rank official in the imperial court. He had been living in his hometown, which was the county next door to Lin Shiheng's family. He had been well clothed and well-fed since he was a child. He was about to go to Beijing to take the exam. His family would prepare everything for him without him having to do anything. Silver servant carriage.

It's a pity that this scholar was an unlucky guy. Everything was arranged perfectly, but he happened to meet the robbers on the way and robbed all their money. If this scholar hadn't been so good-looking, , and immediately said that he could marry the robber's daughter, but he might not be able to save his own life and that of his servants.

They ran away in the chaos on the way back, got separated from their servants, and were penniless. He was still a young master with no ability to survive in the wild. He could be called the most unlucky person in the world.

The great thing about his misfortune was that he met Lin Shiheng after escaping, and he could go with him to the provincial capital to take the exam.

It's a pity that Sun Xiucai, who is delicate and expensive, got sick while driving.

Along the way, he almost spit out his bile.

When a person vomited and felt uncomfortable in his mouth, he naturally wanted to drink water. He didn't bring any water himself, so he went to ask Lin Shiheng for help.

Often at this time, the scholar who was simply dressed, holding a book in his hand, and with a warm smile on his face would considerately take some water from his bag and hand it to a fellow traveler who had never met him before.

It can be said to be very kind.

"One tael of silver."

Young Master Sun did not hesitate to hold the water bag and rinse his mouth. After rinsing his mouth, he leaned against the window with a look of despair, "Brother Lin, how much do I owe you?"

"Not much, eighty taels in total."

Lin Shiheng showed him a pure and kind smile, which made Sun Xiucai's teeth hurt.

Most of today's scholars are full of propriety, justice and shame, and disdain the smell of copper. Otherwise, the bandit would not have been deceived into letting him go by just touching Sun Xiucai's upper and lower lips.

After all, in the impression of people all over the world, scholars are disdainful of lying.

At least the scholars Sun Xiucai had met were all of the above types. Unexpectedly, he would meet Lin Shiheng, a wonderful person.

"Brother Lin, have you ever said that you don't look like a scholar?"

Lin Shiheng smiled kindly: "No."

"As a scholar, I should let my family and relatives live a good life. Now I can make reasonable money, so why not?"

Sun Xiucai had been with him for so many days, and he had developed some feelings for each other. Although he occasionally choked on his shamelessness, compared to those who were usually respectful and considerate, and always behind his back at critical moments. The person who was making cold shots, it was Lin Shiheng who clearly stated the price that made him feel more at ease.

Although he desperately wants money, he still wants money anyway.

The two of them had a difficult journey all the way to the provincial capital... Oh, no, it was Sun Xiucai who had a difficult time alone, but Lin Shiheng had an easy journey.

Sun Xiucai's eyes turned red when he saw the plaque hanging on the city wall. He is only a teenager now. He has never suffered much since he was a child. But now, he has suffered enough for half his life. .

He couldn't wait to return to his territory, so he immediately jumped off the donkey cart and said goodbye to Lin Shiheng: "Thank you Brother Lin for taking care of me these days. I have relatives in this city. Now I just need to go find them. Is that okay?" I hope Brother Lin will give me a place to stay, and when I settle down, I’ll have someone give you the money I owe you.”

Lin Shiheng opened the curtain and looked back at the city gate.

"You are not old. Don't be fooled again. Do you want to give you a ride again?"

Sun Xiucai shook his head. The place he wanted to go was not convenient for others to go.

"Okay, let's just say goodbye."

Lin Shiheng smiled and was about to lower the curtain. Sun Xiucai was stunned and quickly stopped him: "Brother Lin, you haven't told me where you are staying."

If you don't tell him the location, how can he send someone to deliver the money?

The handsome scholar in the car shook his head and laughed, "No need."

Seeing Sun Xiucai's confused face, Lin Shiheng smiled and said: "When you and I met, you were covered in wounds and wary. You didn't touch my things, and you refused to eat even though your hungry stomach was growling. Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

When he was right, Sun Xiucai's eyes suddenly narrowed, his whole body tensed up, and his hands quietly pressed on his waist.

"I see you always put your hands on your waist. Is there a handful of b-i'sh0u there?" Lin Shiheng didn't take his current vigilant look seriously at all. Instead, he said calmly: "If I'm on the way, There's something wrong, I'm afraid this b-i'sh0u should appear in my heart now."

"And you're not a scholar here for the exam, right? The exam is about to start. You didn't bring a single book with you, and you weren't in a hurry at all. When you parked your car to repair, you never mentioned borrowing a book from me."

Sun Xiucai froze. He thought his disguise was perfect, but he didn't expect that there were so many flaws. He was obviously only a teenager, but his voice was extremely obscure: "Who are you!"

"Didn't you tell Brother Sun a long time ago? I'm a scholar here to take the exam."

Sun Xiucai didn't believe it. Not only did he not believe it, he also kept thinking in his mind, who sent this person, and why he didn't do it all the way since there was a chance to harm him.

"Now that you've seen it, why are you pretending to be dumbfounded?"

The scholar in the car smiled casually, "If I don't do this, will you eat my food and drink my water? I'm afraid you'll starve to death before reaching the provincial capital."

Sun Xiucai's face froze. This was true. If Lin Shiheng hadn't clearly marked the price, making him think that this was a man who wanted to make money, he would not touch his things even if he starved to death.

But why did this person want to help him?

What is he planning?

Sun Xiucai was deep in thought here, but Lin Shiheng in the car raised his eyes and looked at the sky, "Now that you have reached a safe place, let's leave here."

After saying that, he lowered the curtain and asked the coachman to drive the car.

The simple donkey cart entered the city, leaving Sun Xiucai in a daze and confusion.

Just leave like that?

Are you leaving without wanting anything?

That shouldn't be the case. The people he had ever come into contact with were either for fame or profit. Lin Shiheng was the first one who clearly saw that his status was extraordinary but refused to leave.

Thinking of the chats they had while walking together, the talent Lin Shiheng revealed inadvertently, and the way he remained firm no matter how bumpy the donkey cart was, Sun Xiucai's young face gradually became enlightened.

He is indifferent to fame and wealth, sees through things without telling them, and in order to save him, he doesn't care at all about putting on a disguise of loving money.

This is the real scholar!

He must recruit such a noble and noble person to his side! !

The driver of the donkey cart looked confused as he drove.

In the eyes of the people in Linjia Village, the driver was hired. In fact, he was bought by Lin Shiheng, and even the donkey cart was bought together.

In today's world where "if you sell me into a contract, you will be my master", he fully regarded Lin Shiheng, a talented scholar, as his master.

He originally thought that his master was so kind-hearted that he picked up a scholar who was also going to take the exam and got on the bus. However, what Lin Shiheng said just now made him stunned.

Isn't this man a scholar?

He had heard Lin Shiheng speak loudly before, and the young master agreed again, and even made a lot of money for his master's happiness. What kind of development is this now?

After all, he was still worried that his master would not be well off when he arrived in the provincial capital. The driver hurriedly drove the car and couldn't help but asked: "Master, do you really don't want any reward? From such a long way to here, how much does it cost just to calculate the travel expenses?" Less."

Lin Shiheng sat safely in the car, "I don't want it, he will give it to me."

"If you reach out and ask for something, you won't find anything that others offer you in a dignified way."

The driver was even more confused.

What the young master means is that the young master Sun will come to your door to give money?

But they didn't tell Master Sun where they planned to live.

He was confused in his heart, but he didn't have the nerve to ask. He drove to an inn and followed his young master in.

The coachman knew that his young master had money. When he drove to the county before, a government clerk came to deliver the money and said that it was a great help.

From that time on, he knew that his master was very capable. Didn't he see that people from the government came to seek friendship?

Waiting for Lin Shiheng to get out of the car, he followed closely and asked carefully: "Master, will you live in a dormitory?"

As for him, he can naturally be dealt with in any room.

"No need." Lin Shiheng paid him and said, "Go and book two rooms."

The coachman didn't understand why he wanted to stay in a second room if he was rich, so he obediently booked two second rooms.

That night, a man dressed as a servant walked into the inn and knocked on Lin Shiheng's door.

"Master Lin, I am a servant of the Sun family. This is a thank you gift from my young master. It is said to be the silver that was agreed before..."

The scholar in green clothes stood tall, frowned slightly, and turned to the left with a noble face. While allowing the servant to see the environment of the lower room clearly, he said quietly: "I just helped Brother Sun with a little effort, I don't need any thanks." Li, take it back."

The servant took a few glances to see clearly the dire situation in the lower room. It was so bad that even a servant like him couldn't live there. Looking at the handsome scholar in front of him, he was obviously so poor, yet he could still refuse such a offer. A large amount of silver.

The image of a master with no admiration for money, pure character, and strong character appeared in front of him.

You must learn from your master when you go back.

Thinking about his master's words, he directly threw the object in his hand through the space on the right that was left because Lin Shiheng turned to the left.

"Hey, you!"

Lin Shiheng seemed surprised and turned around to pick it up and return it to him, but the servant turned around and ran away.

"Master Lin, just keep it. This is my master's wish."

Watching him run away, the scholar stood there with the silver as if helpless, and then gently closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, he lowered his head and nodded the one hundred taels in his hand, his lips slightly raised.

Tsk, I’m rich again.

The money is so good.
