The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

In the crowded throng, Jia Daoshi's left and right hands were tightly gripped by two soft yet strong hands, but Murong Jiu and Di Qinglin couldn't see him at all.

Because there were just too many people around, and no one knew where this Yuan Jin'er came from, that she had such great charm!

In Yilan County, literary figures and poets who are usually rarely seen suddenly appear out of nowhere!

Jia Daoshi vaguely saw Jia An's figure, but in a moment of distraction, he disappeared again!

"I heard that this Jia An usually likes to visit brothels. This time, he's probably sneaking out to visit brothels behind his family's back again."

Soon, a message reached Jia Daoshi's ears—to enter the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, one only needed to prove one's talent and learning; the method of proof was irrelevant, as long as one could compose poems and write essays on the spot.

In short, anything related to music, chess, calligraphy, and painting is acceptable.

If you're a complete idiot who knows nothing, then as long as you have money, you can get in!

Just spend two hundred taels to buy an admission ticket!

Upon hearing this news, Jia Daoshi chuckled inwardly.

This requirement was no challenge for him at all!

Just as the three were queuing, a shout suddenly rang out from behind them.

"Everyone, please make way! Excuse me!"

"Who is it? Trying to cut in line?"

"Just do as I say, stop talking nonsense!"

A young man dressed in fine clothes and with a round and chubby figure squeezed his way up from the back of the crowd.

Seeing a scholar following behind Jia Daoshi complaining, the fat man reached into his pocket, took out a silver ingot, and stuffed it directly into the scholar's hand!

"Twenty taels?"

The scholar stood there dumbfounded. If he came out and joined the queue, he might be able to find twenty taels of silver.

Where did this wealthy family come from?

Somewhat hesitantly put the silver coin in his hand into his mouth and took a bite, only to discover that it was indeed real silver coin, honest and reliable!

Finally, look at the fat man opposite him. He has a fist-sized gold lock hanging on his chest, which shines brightly even at night, making him very eye-catching!

"Brother, I think I should be in this position."

The fat man clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jia Daoshi, then casually stuffed a silver coin into Jia Daoshi's hand, and winked at him.

Jia Daoshi: "..."

The silver I received was twenty taels!

Another substantial income!

Jia Daoshi never expected that simply queuing up would bring him such an unexpected windfall!

Seeing the gleaming silver in Jia Daoshi's hand, Murong Jiu, who had previously been quite critical of Jia Daoshi's visit to Baihualou, no longer had any objections!

At the same time, the scholar who had been standing in front of Jia Daoshi was also staring intently at the uninvited guest in front of him, and he had already reached out his hand to take the money.

Unexpectedly, after looking left and right for a while, he muttered to himself, "Hmm! Not bad, not bad! This position is neither too forward nor too backward, just right!"

Scholar: "..."

I was already prepared to pay to give up my seat, and you actually said something like that? Isn't this just mocking me?

"Hmph! How vulgar and crude!"

"Miss Yuan Jin'er would never meet a rough man like you!"

"Thinking you can pretend to be scholars like us just because you have some money! What a joke!"

"If you have money, why don't you just hand over two hundred taels and buy a pass?"

"You think you're worthy to see Miss Jin'er!"

The scholars who were waiting to receive the money started attacking almost simultaneously!

The words were extremely vicious and harsh!
