"Whoa! Second Master Liu, why did you buy so many cold melons? "
After getting rid of the Little Witch, Li Zexuan planned to return to Yanhuang College to deal with official business. When he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw Second Master Liu driving an ox cart towards him. The ox cart was filled with watermelons. He was puzzled and couldn't help but go forward and ask.
"Yo! Lord Jue, you're here! "
When Second Master Liu saw that it was Li Zexuan, he quickly stopped the ox cart and greeted him. Then, he replied, "Hey! Aren't the students about to go up the mountain for the exam? I was thinking of getting a cart of watermelons and selling them to the examinees to quench their thirst! "
When Li Zexuan heard this, he said happily, "Ha, I didn't expect Second Master Liu to be so business-minded!"
Liu Wanshan waved his hand and said, "This wasn't my idea. It was Mei Jun's wife, Han Xiaomei. Yes, she's the sister of Han Xiaodong from the Han Family Village. You should know her, Lord Jue!"
Han Xiaodong? Li Zexuan suddenly understood. He still had an impression of Han Xiaodong, so he smiled and said, "Well, Mei Jun married a good wife. She's quite smart! Did the other farmers in our village also prepare all kinds of goods? "
Liu Wanshan grinned and said, "Of course. Of course, everyone has to earn money together! But don't worry, Lord Jue. We won't raise the price. We'll sell it at whatever price is sold in Chang 'an City! Anyway, we have nothing to do. We'll be satisfied with the travel expenses! "
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "I still believe in Second Master Liu's character. It's not that I won't let you raise the price. After all, Yunshan is so high. It's quite hard to go up and down. It's not impossible to raise the price a little! But there must be a limit to everything. Second Master Liu, go back and discuss with Liu Lizheng and my father-in-law. We will set up a standard for the price of goods and set up a monitoring team. In the future, Yanhuang College will attract a lot of people to Plum Village. I won't allow there to be any malicious cheating here! "
According to Li Zexuan's plan, they would rely on Yanhuang College to develop a batch of new technologies in the next few years. These new technologies would definitely bring about new industries and more people. This would also bring about considerable profits for the Han Family Manor and Plum Village's villagers. However, as the saying goes, 'Huge profits move people's hearts'. When that time came, it was inevitable that some villagers would deliberately rip off their customers in order to make quick money. Once this situation was spread out, the reputation of Plum Village and the Han Family Manor would be completely ruined. Even Yanhuang College would be affected.
Such examples could be found everywhere in his previous life. Li Zexuan had no choice but to guard against them ~!
Liu Wanshan frowned and said with an ugly expression, "Don't worry, Lord Jue. We will tell everyone in advance! At that time, if anyone dares to tarnish the reputation of our Plum Village and the Han Family Village, this set of old bones will personally knock on their door! "
"Mm ~! Thank you for your trouble, Second Master Liu ~! "
Li Zexuan said politely, then said goodbye to Second Master Liu and walked in the direction of Yunshan. In the afternoon, he accompanied Mo Huai and the others to look at the courtyard, so he didn't ride a horse.

"Uncle Zhong, help me think of a way ~! I have to go out today ~! "
The next day, in the backyard of the Di Residence.
Di Zhixun dragged the old housekeeper into the study and whispered sneakily.
Housekeeper Zhong's face was bitter. He pushed Di Zhixun's hand away and said, "Young Master, why haven't you given up yet ~? If Old Master finds out that you still want to go to Yanhuang College, you will suffer again ~! "
Di Zhixun said anxiously, "Uncle Zhong, if you don't tell him, how will my father know ~? Besides, this time I just want to take the exam and see how I am doing in mathematics. After all, I have been studying this course by myself for more than a month. You have to let me see how good I am, right ~? Don't worry, whether I can pass the exam or not, I will not go to Yanhuang College ~! I will definitely go back to Bingzhou to prepare for the exam ~! "
Housekeeper Zhong shook his head and said, "No ~! Young Master ~! Old Master has ordered that whoever dares to let you out in these three days will have their legs broken. There are four or five guards watching the front yard ~! "
When Di Zhixun heard this, he couldn't help but think that his father was really ruthless. His brain was working very fast. After a while, he said to the old housekeeper,
"Uncle Zhong, if I don't take the exam, I'm afraid I will feel uneasy ~! It will affect my progress in preparing for the exam. How about this, I will secretly climb over the wall and leave. You can pretend that you didn't see it. Even if my father finds out, he won't blame you ~! How about that ~? "
The old housekeeper was shocked and hurriedly pulled Di Zhixun, afraid that he would really climb over the wall. Then, he said, "Young Master, you can't ~! The wall in the mansion is so high. If you accidentally fall and something bad happens to you, no one in the mansion can bear the responsibility ~! "
In fact, the wall in the Di Mansion was quite high. It was definitely not like some ancient dramas where the young lady could easily climb over by stepping on the back of the servant girl.
Seeing that Di Zhixun didn't seem to give up, the old housekeeper continued, "Besides, Old Master will come back after the court. He will definitely look for you. Young Master, even if you go to Yanhuang College to register, once Old Master finds you coming back, he will lock you up. You won't be able to go to Yanhuang College to take the exam tomorrow ~!"
According to Li Zexuan's instructions, Ma Zhou had published a notice in the most eye-catching headline of yesterday's Datang Daily, informing all the students in Chang 'an City who were preparing to take the entrance exam of Yanhuang College to go to Yanhuang College on September 17th, which was today, to get the exam number and enter the exam with the number.
This was the real reason why Di Zhixun was in a hurry to escape from the Di Mansion today. If he couldn't get the exam number today, he wouldn't be qualified to take the exam tomorrow. In fact, according to the rules, it wasn't that others couldn't help him get the exam number, but the problem now was, who in the Di Mansion dared to help Di Zhixun get the exam number? Wasn't that asking for death ~?
That was why Di Zhixun wanted to sneak out!
However, what Housekeeper Zhong said was not unreasonable. His house was four or five miles away from Yanhuang College. Even if he rode a horse, it would take nearly two hours to go back and forth. What's more, there might be many people waiting in line on Yunshan Mountain. In that case, he couldn't guarantee that he would come back before his father, and his intentions would be exposed. He would have even less chance to sneak out and take the entrance exam of Yanhuang College tomorrow.
"What should I do ~?"
At this moment, Di Zhixun was like an ant on a hot pan. He was very anxious. Once he set his mind on something, he would do whatever it took to accomplish it. Now, this feeling of helplessness made him very unhappy.
"Young Master, I think you'd better give up ~! Old Master is doing this for your own good. Don't do anything stupid ~! Alas ~! "
The old housekeeper persuaded and then left with a sigh. Only Di Zhixun was left in the room with a bitter face.
