    It was said that Pei Jing took the time to come to Zhao Hui's house and mentioned that Xue Rui went to Taiheng Chamber of Commerce to inquire about their residence a few days ago. At that time, Xue Rui claimed to be Cao Zixin. Pei Jing had met him once and did not suspect that it was a fake name.  When they asked what Xue Rui did for a living in the capital, He Langzhong and Zhao Hui couldn't explain clearly. Just when Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu came back, they went to the house to ask.  Yu Shu knew that Xue Rui wanted to conceal his identity, so he didn't mention that he was from an official family, and said vaguely: "It seems that he is also a businessman, but I didn't ask carefully."  As a commission, he said to Yu Shu: "I have sent greetings to several shops under my management. If anyone sees a person who looks like Mr. Jing walking on the street, he will notify you early in the morning." Yu Shu thanked: "  Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Pei." Zhao Hui pulled Yu Shu and said a few words, asking her what was wrong with her body, and after checking her pulse, he asked him to go back to the room to drink medicine, leaving Yu Xiaoxiu alone.  A few adults sat down.  Back in the room, Yu Shu didn't waste much time. He sat down at the desk, took out a pen and paper, and started studying the horoscope of Prince Xiang that he got today.  Yu Shu's current idea is very simple. She can't be perfect, but she can figure out how much it is. Even if she answers the time tomorrow when King Xiang lost his property, but she doesn't know the location, it's still better than handing in a blank paper.  She inquired at the training hall that although each subject costs a hundred yuan, not necessarily a hundred people will pass the exam. In other words, the best will be admitted, but if there are no outstanding ones, Si Tianjian will definitely not take the exam to recharge the exam.  It takes a hundred people.  The screening for this hundred yuan is very strict. Often, twenty or thirty people will pass the exam in one subject of astrology. The places at the back are all empty, and no cheating will be allowed. Therefore, there are at most 500 Yishi places every year, and only one hundred people are successful.  Ten people, and the Great Yi Master is even more rare.  If you hand in a blank paper or just make up the numbers, you are dead.  Yu Shu kept his head in his head and didn't know who came in quietly. Zhao Hui told Kidou to heat up the stove in Yu Shu's room and look after her back and forth to prevent her from freezing if she sat for a long time.  When it got dark, Zhao Hui came over personally to hold the lamp, watched Yu Shu eat and drink medicine, walked around the room, went out and asked someone to hold a mattress, and temporarily nailed a "curtain" outside the window facing the desk.  "Block the wind.  ??Yu Shu went to the toilet several times, mumbling a few words, and she was so dizzy. There was also a time when she forgot to bring toilet paper and had no choice but to squat in the pit and call for help, which made Zhao Hui dumbfounded.  It wasn't until the third watch of the gong was struck on the street outside that Yu Shu put down his pen. With his sore eyes open, he picked up some marked pieces of straw paper on the table with dark fingers and wrinkled when he checked the calculated disasters.  frowned.  "What happened? Did I miss something?" Out of caution, she speculated on the four-month misfortunes that would have occurred during King Xiang's return to Beijing from August to the twelfth lunar month this year, just in case there were any omissions, and she had done enough.  More than one hundred and twenty calculations were made, and recalculations were added. However, the disasters in these four months showed that the King of Xiang only had two minor illnesses, one was flood, and one was a small blood. There was no sign of loss of money or property.  , it shows when King Xiang lost something. What happened? Did he lose the thing after he returned to Beijing? Yu Shu thought for a long time, picked up the pen and calculated again, planning to include the twelfth lunar month.  Another hour passed like this, and the gong rang at the fourth watch. She put down her pen again, and checked the dense data copied line by line with her fingers, gradually frowning.  Still not convinced, Yu Shu collected all the messy pieces of paper on the table and checked them one by one, for more than 130 days, without missing a day, to make sure that she did not miss any day.  This made Yu Shu worried. Her law of misfortunes has not worked until today. What went wrong? She couldn't figure it out? Yu Shu hit his forehead with one hand, his scalp itched, and he was thinking hard.  Feeling that the sky was getting brighter outside, the remaining wax on the candlestick went out with a "pop". She suddenly raised her head, grinned, and laughed sinisterly, "Hey, hey". I don't know how charming this crazy head and red eyes look.  .  She didn't sleep all night, but at dawn, Yu Shu went out in high spirits, carrying the book box, and got on the carriage that had been waiting outside.  I came out and met him somewhere else, but I didn¡¯t say where. ?? I won¡¯t go into details about the process of entering the venue. The open-air venue was the same as when I was taking the Yili exam. The densely packed tables and chairs were only half full. After the bell rang, Yu Shu quickly polished his ink, and sat in the Si Tianjian¡¯s special room.  On the test paper, I wrote my answers one by one, wrote my place of birth and name on the side, put my thumbprint on it with cinnabar mud, and handed in the paper early.  Today, Yu Shu did not go out of his way to find where Ji Xingxuan was sitting. He handed in the papers and followed the servants to leave. He bowed his head and left the Taicheng Division. He stood outside the gate and let out a long breath of turbid air. His mood suddenly became much more relaxed.  No matter what, this subject was finally completed, and regardless of whether she passed or failed, next, she was waiting for the last subject of arithmetic, which was her absolute strength. Yu Shu felt furious, thisShe was very frustrated in the thaumaturgy subject. She kept silent about all kinds of anguish. She made up her mind that she would never leave any room behind in arithmetic. She was determined to win the top three. If she didn't have the ability to become a master of Yi, she would first take the college entrance examination.  The mathematician was working. The snow on the road had melted, and there were ice and slag everywhere. Yu Shu picked up the clean road, walked to the street and got into the carriage, and said to the coachman: "I'm looking for your Uncle Xue." The carriage drove to a prosperous road in the north of the city.  On the street, he stopped outside a building. Yu Shu got off the car and stood on the street where people were coming and going. He looked up at the two-story majestic building in front of him. There was an empty plaque on the door. It was not open for business yet.  She thought to herself, could this be the restaurant that Xue Rui mentioned before? "Is this the girl from Lianfang?" Yu Shu looked back and saw a man coming out of the door. He was of medium height, with a chubby face, and looked to be in his thirties.  He is old enough and smiles innocently.  "It's me." The man looked around Yu Shu without leaving any trace, then immediately pointed his hand towards the restaurant and said with a smile: "Little Lin Fu, you have been waiting for the girl for a long time. Please come inside." The wall tiles outside the restaurant are brand new.  It is even more spacious and bright inside, with green walls of snow and mud, mahogany and sandalwood, tables, chairs, vases, and tea saucers, tea bowls, and chopsticks cages. Opposite the door is an eight-foot-round counter, with a watery Kirin lying on it.  The auspicious jade animal head is followed by a row of colorful flags and famous vegetable brands. The windows are separated in the north and south, with four windows in a cluster. Two rows of flowers, birds, grass and carp glass screen shelves are divided into three rooms on the east and west floors. To the east is the staircase, which leads directly to the second floor.  On the third floor of the building, there is a flowerpot holding a small holly, and there is a hanging door to the north, leading to the backyard.  Yu Shu looked up and down, left, right, east, west, north and south, and couldn't help but admire the man who arranged the Feng Shui. It was really a layout that attracted wealth, wealth and peace. If she had come to clean it up, she would definitely not be so thorough.  It's not resplendent, but it's exquisite and pleasant, especially the glass screen. Yu Shu had seen the green glass window in the old lady's room at Ji's house, and knew that there were glass makers in An Dynasty. But how could Xue Rui be so arrogant?  It has twelve full sides of glass as a screen.  Lin Fu was not in a hurry to take her to see Xue Rui, and allowed Yu Shu to walk around the building and ask him: "Where is your boss?" "They are resting in the back. They said they wanted me to show the girl to the floor first.  , Do you want to go up to the second floor and take a look?" Yu Shu was too lazy to climb the stairs, so he said: "I won't go now, take me to see your boss." "Yes, girl, please take Yu.  When Shu arrived at the backyard, he saw another well-organized enclosed building. It was also a two-story building with a corridor. It had light from the courtyard on three sides. One side was cool and the other sunny. It was the harmony of yin and yang, and the weather was good.  Walking to a room in the northeast corner and under the corridor, Lin Fu knocked on the door and said, "Master, the girl from the lotus room is here." A voice came from inside: "Come in." Lin Fu opened the door and invited Yu Shu.  When a person goes in, there is no curtain hanging on the door to keep out the cold, but the windows are sealed with glass. Unlike ordinary people's windows, which are not ventilated, the room can keep warm.  Xue Rui is sitting at a round table under the east window looking at the account, with a cup of tea in hand, smelling the aroma. He is wearing a brown and green silk shirt, only a black velvet pair of armor, and a pair of topaz around his neck.  The buttons were very eye-catching. When he saw Yu Shu coming in, he put down his account book and asked with a smile: "Have you finished the exam?"  Giving him another smile, she tried to figure out whether he was in a good or bad mood, then walked forward, sat down opposite him, took an empty cup and poured tea, and said: "This is the restaurant you said you were going to open a while ago.  It's quite grand. Yes, let me know in advance on the opening day and I'll come to support you."  "Seeing him take a piece of paper from the account book and hand it to her, Yu Shu took a look at it, then her expression changed, and she choked on a sip of tea and couldn't swallow it.  Strictly speaking, this is a contract, a contract for hiring an employee. She is hired to be the manager of this restaurant, responsible for the accounts and personnel, and the price is clearly marked. It is eighty taels of silver a month, and she is hired to take out half of the money from this restaurant.  The bonus is for a period of about three years, and the contract is dead.  "Why, don't you want to sign? Who swore yesterday that if anything happened to me, she would not be afraid of anything in just one sentence. This didn't make you frightened even though you were in danger? Do you want to regret it?" Xue Rui said with a half-smile.  Look at her.  Yu Shu was riding a tiger this time. Just looking at Xue Rui's face and the atmosphere in the room, if she dared to say no, he might turn against him in the next moment, so he bit the bullet and said: "Didn't you say last time that if I had a great future?  If you fail the exam and fail to get into Taishi Shuyuan, can I help you again?"  If you keep talking about words, you will not be able to get into the rankings. Even if you are successful in thaumaturgy, you will only be a Yi master at most. Taishi Shuyuan will not accept you unless you can reach the top three in academics, and there is still some chance."  Convinced: "How did you know I couldn't enter the top three?" Xue Rui is not in a hurry.He said slowly: "I heard that several of Mr. Han Wenguang's most famous disciples are going to study accounting this year. You have little hope of getting into the top three." "Han Wenguang?" Yu Shu heard the name familiar, and suddenly thought of it and gasped:  "Is that the old man who taught three fortune tellers?"  "Yuan, don't count on me. Just come over and help me and wait until three years to take the exam."
