Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

Chapter 43 The Life of a Sworn Brother in an Ancient Farming Family 9

Just as the two were about to explode, Scholar Shi finally took pity on them and hung a sign at the gate saying "No visitors allowed." He looked at Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu with a meaningful smile.

"What? Now you know why your father has been suppressing you two and preventing you from becoming famous, right?"

"Two child prodigies, after this experience, how does it feel to become famous?"

How? What else could it be? "Terrible" doesn't even begin to describe how the two of them felt. Even Shi Shaoyu, who had been struggling to lose weight, had lost a lot of weight. At least when Ji Han poked him with his finger, there was no longer a dent!

Fortunately, after that day, fewer people came to the Shi residence. As the provincial examination approached, the topic of discussion finally shifted from the child prodigy to the provincial examination, and Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were finally released from their confinement.

While this sudden fame brought them considerable trouble, they also gained a great deal:

Hosts: Shi Shaoyu, Ji Han

Number of tasks completed: 1

Completed task points: 200

Reputation points:

Merit value: 0

Darkness value: 155

Account Balance: (Text)

Moreover, their reputation is still slowly increasing, which means that the fame of these two child prodigies is continuing to spread!

With money and freedom, of course they have to go out and spend money! Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu abandoned Shi Shaoheng and went out with Siqi Shishu and two guards specially arranged by Yuebo.

There were noticeably more scholars on the streets today than before, and even the restaurants and inns on both sides of the road were packed with people. These were all scholars who had come to Mengzhou Prefecture to take the imperial examinations, along with their families and entourages.

Of course, with the influx of these scholars, the number of small vendors on the streets of Mengzhou Prefecture also increased. These vendors worked hard to sell more goods.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu looked around, and soon Siqi and Shishu's hands were piled high with all sorts of trinkets, some for themselves but mostly for their families.

The two strolled and ate their way through the area, and soon arrived at their final destination: Wuyi Bookstore.

For a while, Shi Xiucai was busy preparing for the provincial examination and didn't have much time to manage them, so Ji Han and the other two managed to squeeze out another new book in the mansion.

The previous book, "The Legend of Immortals," sold very well, and the shopkeeper urged Shi Shaoheng many times in order to get his hands on the new book as soon as possible. When he learned that they were coming to Mengzhou Prefecture, he even gave Shi Shaoheng the address of the bookstore and a letter of recommendation, telling him that once the new book was finished, he could just take the letter to the bookstore.

This book is also in the Xianxia genre, but it's called "The Scholar's Journey to Immortality." It's a very long book, so Shi Shaoyu simply divided it into several volumes. The one he brought over this time was the first volume.

The Worry-Free Bookstore in Mengzhou Prefecture was much larger than that in Linshui County, and the books inside were neatly arranged. Perhaps because the exams were approaching, the bookshelves related to the imperial examinations were crowded with scholars reading.

Near the other unrelated bookshelves, only a few people were browsing, and most of them were young ladies and maids.

When Shi Shaoyu and Ji Han found the shopkeeper, they didn't introduce themselves to each other, but they could guess what the shopkeeper's relationship was with the old man from Linshui County. After all, the two looked so alike, almost like they were made from the same mold, except one was older and the other was younger.

The two first handed over their letters of recommendation, and only after the shopkeeper had read them did they hand over the books under his expectant gaze.

The shopkeeper took the book and first had the waiter serve tea and snacks to Ji Han and the others. Then he couldn't wait to open the book and start reading. He became completely engrossed in it.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had eaten all the way and weren't hungry yet. They rested for a bit, then had two guards carry them as they strolled around the few bookshelves with fewer people.

Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu looked at those best-selling storybooks, making quiet comments as they read. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory!

What the two of them didn't expect was that they discovered a lot of new fantasy stories. These kinds of books have become a new trend, and Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu are the ones leading this trend.

In addition, Ji Han also selected several books on mountain travel and history. After choosing the books, they did not stay in the bookstore for long. According to the previous agreement, they signed a new contract with the bookstore owner and then embarked on a new journey with their little short-legged companion.

As they walked, they were stopped by several familiar servants. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu looked up at the same time and could only say: Fate is truly wonderful!

Who would have thought that they would only come to Mengzhou Prefecture twice, and both times they would run into the young master of the Zhang family. Speaking of which, the provincial examination is just around the corner. Doesn't this young master need to study hard at home to prepare for the exam?

"My two young friends, what a coincidence, we meet again!"

Ji Han wanted to say something like, "Unfortunately," but Shi Shaoyu had already cheerfully started to chime in.

"Young Master Zhang, what a coincidence! Are you out shopping today too?"

"Oh, so you're out shopping, Brother Shi. You've come to the right place today; I know the local specialties of Mengzhou Prefecture best..."

Ji Han looked at the two people, one big and one small, chatting happily in front of him, and suddenly felt that he was starting to feel out of place in this world. Did people in ancient times form friendships so quickly?

If Ji Han hadn't confirmed that this was truly their second meeting today, seeing how happy they were together, he would have started to doubt whether they were actually father and son!

Scholar Shi... are you being polite?

And so, the three of them, maintaining an eerie atmosphere, arrived at Wangxianglou again. Ji Han, seeing the bright smile on the proprietress's face, knew that Young Master Zhang was definitely doing this on purpose.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the familiar third floor, it was already full of people. When they saw Young Master Zhang, they all stood up to greet him. Young Master Zhang responded with a smile and quickly led Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu to the familiar platform.

"Everyone! Quiet down! Look this way!"

"Now, the two children sitting next to me are the legendary child prodigies of Linshui Town. I'm sure you've all seen their masterpieces when you visited Wangxiang Tower these past few days. It's just so happens that we've run into these two child prodigies again today. How about we invite them to compose another poem for us?"

"it is good!"

Before Young Master Zhang finished speaking, cheers erupted from the crowd, and everyone looked at Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu with expectant eyes.
