Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug
Chapter 49 The Life of a Sworn Brother in an Ancient Farming Family 15
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu sat in the swaying carriage, their ears filled with Zhang Gongzi and Shi Shaoheng's discussion of "The Scholar's Journey to Immortality." Indeed, after the provincial examination, "The Scholar's Journey to Immortality" became popular again, as expected.
According to the owner of Wuyi Bookstore, they have reprinted this book countless times. Even the copyists are so engrossed in copying it that their pens are practically sparking. Despite this, the book is still extremely difficult to find on the market.
With the provincial examinations over, many scholars wanted to buy two copies to take home, one for themselves to study carefully, and the other to give to friends or collect.
Upon hearing that Ji Han and his group were going to Kyoto, the shopkeeper immediately wrote a letter of recommendation and two newly printed copies of "The Scholar's Journey to Immortality," instructing them to personally deliver them to the owner of Wuyi Bookstore in Kyoto. He said that such a good book should be shared and made money by all bookstores across the country!
Ji Han/Shi Shaoyu... For a moment, he didn't know whether to be amazed by the vastness of this bookstore or overjoyed that the books he had silently chosen would be distributed all over the country.
At the end of September, the carriage finally entered the capital. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were finally able to get rid of Young Master Zhang. To be honest, they were really tired of being tormented. This guy first tricked Shi Shaoheng into revealing all sorts of things about Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, and then he started to pester Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu all day long, making them compose poems or write essays.
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had just been warned by Shi Minghao after the provincial examination, so they dared not defy the warning! The two of them could only hide in the carriage of Shi Minghao and his wife, enduring the low pressure that Shi Minghao kept releasing.
The Shi family certainly owned a house in Kyoto, but Shi Minghao did not intend to live there. On the day they entered the city, they directly found a middleman and bought a three-courtyard house on the spot. Keep in mind that this was a house in Kyoto, which gave Ji Han a new understanding of Zhou's dowry.
After all, the five days he spent at the Shi family's house had taught him that Shi Minghao had indeed left with almost nothing. As for Zhou Shi, since the Zhou family had run into trouble and they couldn't keep their assets anyway, they simply gave her everything they could as her dowry.
So... all these years, Shi Minghao has just been a kept man!
After the house was purchased, Uncle Nian led a group of servants and maids to start cleaning. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu, on the other hand, took Shi Shaoheng to ask for directions and went to the Wuyi Bookstore in Kyoto to hand over some things. They also received a bunch of pastries and snacks as a gift from the bookstore owner.
When they returned to the newly purchased house with pastries, restaurant staff, and a pile of food boxes, the house had been simply cleaned and even furnished with a lot of furniture and decorations. At least for now, it looked like a house that someone lived in.
After such a long journey and tidying up the house, everyone quickly washed up and went to bed after eating the meal delivered by the restaurant.
Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu became neighbors in the next room again. The moon was bright and the stars were few. At the same time, the candles in both rooms were extinguished, and the moonlight shone into the rooms, giving the two little people on the bed a transparent glow.
The next day, before they even had breakfast, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu were summoned by Shi Minghao to the training ground next to the front yard. Shi Shaoheng and a martial arts instructor were already waiting there. According to Shi Minghao, this martial arts instructor was introduced by Young Master Zhang. Before they even arrived in Kyoto, the instructor had already prepared the teaching materials in advance.
After a morning of training, all three of them were drenched in sweat, especially Shi Shaoyu, who was on the heavier side. Ji Han, despite his exhaustion, returned to the courtyard to wash up. After breakfast, the first thing he said before class was...
"Shi Shaoyu, we still have enough points, why don't we buy two more Body Strengthening Pills and Strength Pills?"
Shi Shaoyu... Could he say he didn't remember either? It's all because of those three years of poverty; now that they're rich, they don't know how to spend their money!
The pills arrived instantly, and the two of them successfully finished their two pills before class. Instantly, they felt much of their fatigue disappear, and they felt as if they were full of inexhaustible energy. When the teacher came to teach, he saw the dejected Shi Shaoheng and the energetic Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu.
In an instant, the teacher understood. These were two good students and one slacker. It didn't matter that he was a slacker; the teacher loved to guide students back to the right path. Shi Shaoheng suddenly shuddered. He didn't know that from this moment on, his good days were over.
Time flies, and the end of the year is fast approaching. In the days leading up to the new year, Shi Shaoheng was too busy with his studies to help Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu with their writing. Fortunately, after taking the pills, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu had gained a lot of strength in their wrists. They have been practicing their calligraphy diligently recently, and it is believed that they will be able to write their own stories soon.
Besides, the book "The Scholar's Journey to Immortality" became a huge hit, which also boosted the popularity of their previous book, "The Legend of the Immortals." According to the bookstore owner, since these two books became popular, not only people in our Tianqi Kingdom have been reading them, but people from neighboring countries have also come specifically to buy the books and resell them at high prices back in their countries.
Every night before bed, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu would find that their points had increased again, but the increase was in copper coins while their mission required a large amount of gold. Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu suddenly realized that if they relied solely on their communication skills, even if they included everyone on the entire planet at this time, they might not be able to complete the mission.
It seems the system is forcing them to accumulate merit in order to complete the task!
Ji Han and the other person began to feel melancholy again. After all, if they wanted a large amount of merit points, they had to do a lot of good deeds. Small-scale actions would not solve the fundamental problem. They hoped that the peaches from Gutang Village next year would give them a good return.
The family spent their first New Year in Kyoto in a warm and loving atmosphere. After the New Year, scholars from all over the country came to the capital to participate in the imperial examinations, and the streets of Kyoto became crowded all of a sudden. The inns were even more packed, and several of Shi Minghao's friends even stayed at Ji Han's house. As a result, Ji Han and his two friends were taken out for walks more often.
Needless to say, Ji Han and Shi Shaoyu are now at least qualified to be Xiucai (a successful candidate in the provincial examination), even if they are not yet top-ranking scholars. This has earned them praise from Shi Minghao's friends. Even Shi Shaoheng has made great progress after being closely supervised and trained by his teachers for a period of time. He is now worthy of the praise from those who have passed the provincial examination.
