Chapter 19:

Li Cheng never went to Lin Juren to go to school and attend classes after he was awarded a talent. Before he was busy getting married, after he got married, Li Cheng was no longer the other Li Chengze. Life has added a lot of messy and trivial things, and it takes time to go. deal with.
Li Cheng took the time to meet the Juren teacher, said a little bit about what he couldn't be free to come over, and then came back after hearing some admonitions and encouragement.
The social status of scholars, farmers, and industrialists is far from the other three. Li Cheng was very clear about this a long time ago, so the imperial examination road must continue to go, but I am afraid that this autumn will not be able to participate in late October this year.
On the one hand, Li Cheng was not the original one. He was a monk halfway through. He had never studied the four books and five classics of the serious scientific examination textbooks of this era. Poetry and poetry were also not good enough. Although there is the memory of the original owner, the original owner himself is a half-bucket of water, and the fame of the previous scholars is unclear.
Besides, the Li family is so poor now. Li Cheng is blessed and shy in his pockets. The imperial examination also costs money. The cost of each place does not add up to a small sum, so it is better to make money first, or else take it. With the trend of the Li family, the Bai family was afraid that they would start making Gu's celadon dowry. It was the Sun family. Although he didn't have that much money in his heart, he still felt that Gu Celadon's money would be justified for Li Cheng.
Su Ziyan didn’t know what he wanted to do, and he was able to copy a copy of the test question to Li Chengze. After getting the question the previous time, he was not stupid to find someone else to buy the answer. Instead, he made a copy by himself, and finally barely obtained one. The performance of the middle and lower reaches, but this is a good thing, at least not noticeable.
As long as Li Cheng didn't pass it through, Qiu Wei's set of exam questions would definitely not be able to be done at the original level, so he would definitely be tempted to ask someone to catch a knife.
Once the test questions circulated, the consequences would be disastrous.
Su Ziyan is now Li Cheng's focus. Obviously, what Su Ziyan did was either to plot something on Li Chengze, or to frame him. Leaving aside how Su Ziyan got the test questions, Li Cheng felt that the first time he threw out the test questions, like an introduction, the purpose is to catch Li Cheng to get the bait. The real shot should be this time in the township examination.
After all, Su Ziyan himself participated in the last child test.
According to Li Chengze's guess, Su Ziyan is brewing a conspiracy, maybe he wants to put Li Chengze in this exam.
If the test question is true, then the test question is leaked. It is a felony to leak examination questions and cheating in the examination field, and the person who bought the question is also guilty. Once it is found out, I don't know how many people have suffered bad luck.
Li Cheng pretended to tell Su Ziyan that he was going to participate in this Qiuwei, which was naturally a lie to him. This month, he deliberately stayed away from home, just to make Su Ziyan believe him.
Although he is not preparing for the exam, Li Cheng is not idle at home either. He is preparing a novel to write.
Unlike the formal literature that governs the world, it is obscure and difficult to understand, and most people's congresses who can recognize characters cannot read it, let alone understand it. The novels circulated among the people are mostly in the vernacular, which is the kind that can be read if you can recognize the words.
This is normal, otherwise the extracurricular readings intended to relax the mind have to be written in complex literary forms, and I am afraid that no one will buy them.
Li Cheng quickly flipped through a lot of books, and then summed it up. Nowadays, the types of novels on the market are roughly divided into four categories, including koan novels, ghost novels, legendary novels and serial novels.
Of course, this does not include some short textbooks that only write love. Love Storybooks have always been denounced as vulgar among certain populations and can't make it to the table, but in fact, Li Cheng has no opinion. After all, is the market determining the direction? If you really don't bother to read them, this type of book won't sell so well.
After struggling through his thoughts, Li Cheng planned to test the waters with Gongan novels. Gongan novels are actually a big concept. Let me call it that first. There are many subdivided items and many types of stories that can be written. There are many short stories, but few long stories.
Li Cheng is to make money. First, the novel's intention must not be ironic about corruption and corruption in the officialdom. Second, the thoughts in the article can be biased towards praising officials to judge cases and vindicate unjust cases, and to judge cases with honest officials. It is best to put the protagonist and the decent characters in the prison as the image of uprightness, cleanliness and integrity, and law enforcement.
In this tone, some Su Shuangwen's tone and elements are added, such as adding highlights in the protagonist's personality and personality.
After preparing for a while, Li Cheng started writing.
He named his first novel "Cui Shi Saburo", a very common topic, and he knew it was a person's name.
The main content of the story is also simple. It is about the story of the protagonist Cui Sablang who has gone through various trials and tribulations from a down-and-out noble boy and finally turned into a commander holding a heavy duty.
In this process, the protagonist, because of his meticulous mind, extraordinary wisdom, and skillful judgment of strange cases, was appreciated by the king, and then he took advantage of the trend to join others. After that, he assisted the king to judge strange cases ingeniously and deal with important matters. Gradually became the confidant of King Xiang.
Xiangyang finally ascended the throne as emperor, and Cui Saburo naturally became a minister of the arm.
Cui Saburo was originally a son of a Houman, but he had lived under the control of his stepmother since he was a child, and was rejected by his father, making it difficult to live in a huge mansion.
But one night, Cui Saburo was assassinated by three assassins on his way home, and then he was thrown into the wilderness.
The plot of the story unfolds from this.
The protagonist who was thrown in the mass grave was actually not dead, still had a breath, but passed out.
Fortunately, there was a beggar who was "pick-up his fortune" doing his daily work. When the beggar found the protagonist Cui Saburo, Cui Saburo suddenly stood up, opened his eyes suddenly, and then stretched out. With a hand, he grabbed the beggar's calf.
"It's a corpse!" The beggar was so scared that he screamed out.
Cui Saburo was saved by others. He was not a stupid person, and immediately inferred that his murder was inseparable from his stepmother, but he also knew that he had no evidence and nothing to prove. Even if he went back to cry with his father, his father might not believe it. On the contrary, he would startled and frightened the snake. The insidious woman once again hurt herself as a killer.
He knows that he is weak and weak, and he must be no match for the snake-hearted stepmother.
So Cui Saburo, who was fourteen years old, made a decision. He pretended to have been killed and was ready to take this opportunity to leave the capital. He would keep a low profile and wait for himself to grow up before returning to avenge him.
Cui Saburo, who had healed his wound, disguised himself and went to the pier, took a passenger ship heading south, and left the capital.
...
Li Cheng used five thousand words at the beginning to explain clearly the protagonist's life experience and story background.
Obviously, Li Cheng wrote about a growing protagonist. At the beginning, the fourteen-year-old protagonist could only be regarded as a teenager, and was very weak. Although his status was noble, his fate was rough and his mother was lost. He was not happy for his father. , Like a little poor image.
Later in the story, after Choi Saburo will return to the capital in a high-profile manner, his identity will change drastically, from helpless Choi Saburo to the chief commander of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Inspector Choi. Directly ordered by the emperor, he is the emperor's favor.
Although it is a cliché story, as long as it is well written, no one will worry about it.
From the perspective of the protagonist's personality, he is typically a Su character.
Well, Su Shuang, people at this time are not like later generations, who have not been brainwashed by all kinds of online novels, so they are more likely to be attracted by such stories.
Li Cheng laid out the outline of the story and finished writing another 30,000 words, ready to go to the bookstore to ask questions and sell the novel.
He polished and revised the manuscript of the novel in the study, and more than half an hour passed without knowing it.
Over there, the two sisters of the Li family who learned to read from Gu Celadon had just left.
Li Cheng went back to the main room and frowned when Gu Celadon was still sitting at the desk watching something.
The girl next to him saluted, Li Cheng waved his hand, walked over, and asked aloud: "What are you looking at? Could it be that the two younger sisters caused you a problem?"
Gu Celadon was distracted, and threw what was in her hands aside, and muttered: "What problems can they give me, but they just gave my sister homework for them to practice. Look at the shop account book sent by the shopkeeper, so that the more you look at it, the more annoying."
Li Cheng understood that Gu Celadon was talking about the account book of his dowry shop. He shouldn't ask about this now, let alone intervene in making decisions. Nothing is right.
So he just nodded, skipped over the words, raised his eyebrows and said: "Since I'm upset, don't look at it. How about I take you out for a stroll?"
As soon as he said this, Gu Celadon's eyes widened, and then he was surprised.
"I, do you want to go out! Can you?"
She appeared to be like a child, and Li Cheng, who provokes her, smiled and said, "Why can't, my family doesn't have such big rules, besides, the lady is going out with you today. What are you afraid of."
Gu Qingci told him that his face was flushed and his big eyes were bright and moist.
Then he stood up all of a sudden and said, "Then I have to go and change my clothes."
Li Cheng grabbed her and shook his head, "No, this set is pretty good-looking, let's go, go out early, and have lunch outside."
Gu Celadon really didn't need to change her body. It was the first time her upper body. The brightly colored material matched her bright and pretty appearance.
Hearing his praise, Gu Celadon was happy and proud.
It was planned to go out today, and Li Cheng asked Yuan Bao to rent a carriage.
At this moment, I brought Gu Celadon, and Gu Celadon brought another jade celadon, leaving the jade beads to guard the house, and we went out together.
Speaking of it, Gu Celadon hasn't been out for a long time. He had hurriedly made a marriage decision before, fearing that people would laugh.
This was the first time I went out after getting married, and I was in a very good mood, so after seeing the rented carriage not so satisfied, I rarely complained.
"Where do you want to go shopping?" Li Cheng asked Gu Celadon first.
Gu Celadon is really not without thoughts. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Of course it is Yuzhenxuan!" Yuzhenxuan is the largest and most famous jewelry and treasure antique shop in Beijing. There is no wife in Beijing. The young lady didn't know it. Gu Celadon had come with the second wife every other time.
Li Cheng naturally followed her, and the carriage drove past slowly.
Yuzhenxuan is really big, with two floors above and below.
The house is well decorated.
Yuzhu got out of the car first, and then slapped the curtain on one side. After Li Cheng got down, he reached out to help Gu Celadon.
Seeing her stepping on the footstool, she jumped down and quickly grabbed people.
Such a long skirt is really afraid of her stepping on it.
After stabilizing the person, he looked at her helplessly and said: "Don't be reckless, if you fall, you will suffer." As he said, he couldn't help pinching her cheek.
Gu Celadon stared at people like a rabbit, and whispered: "So shameless, people have seen it carefully."
Li Cheng laughed, and then warmly said: "Let Yuzhu accompany you to stroll around. I'll go to the bookstore and pick you up later. Is it feasible?"
Gu Celadon nodded, most of them were female family members, and it is not surprising that Li Cheng did not follow.
Li Cheng sent the people to the door, and then asked the shop assistant who was approaching him a few words before leaving.
A carriage was parked not far from the carriage, and two young girls got down early in the morning, watching the scene of Gu Celadon and Li Chengze.
In fact, a person wearing a lotus root pink clothes said to the people around him: "Isn't the one in front Gu Liu?"
The lady in the sapphire blue dress scoffed, with disdain on her face, and sneered: "Is it right, she is upset and dared to go out. I heard that she married a poor family, how can she still afford Yu Zhenxuan?"
The person next to him laughed, "In any case, it's Miss Gonghou's family, isn't there a dowry, let's go and see."
