Chapter 91: Chen Jing Borrowing Usury

After the Spring Imperial Examination, Lu Lin's shop became the center of the attention again. There was a Councilor who bought the giant rooster doll from the store for 50 taels of silver, and his grandson had passed the exam and became a Xiucai!

The grandson was only fifteen years old. Among the candidates who had passed this time, he was the youngest and the most outstanding one.

Everyone was impressed and they praised him for his talent. They all said in the future, this young man would definitely succeed in the government examination and be conferred a rank of nobility.

The Councilor was bursting with happiness, he held a banquet for a few days straight to celebrate.

On the banquet, the Councilor took out the rooster to impress the guests, he said that it was all thanks to this rooster. His grandson had such luck was all because of this auspicious rooster from Sino Commercial House, even though to tales of silver was expensive, it was totally worth it.

It was rumored that the dolls at Sino Commercial House were auspicious and they would do wonders. This rumor even spread to the surrounding towns and villages. Many people came to buy dolls with admiration, and all kinds of dolls became popular again.

Granny Shen had been busy working and training new workers, but she found pleasure in it.

Recently, business in the shop was good, so the workers had to work day and night. Although it had been a little hard, the workers were grateful.

Xique and Lin Chun became proficient thanks to Granny Shen's training.

The rooster dolls were sold out right away. The customers had to pick other dolls.

Lu Lin didn't think that the dolls in his shop could do wonders like helping people pass exams. He felt that it was just a coincidence, but he was happy to see how satisfied the customers were.

......

The villagers all liked to talk about Imperial Examination.

"Have you heard that, a 15-year-old young talent has passed the exam, amazing!"

"It's Councilor Xu's grandson, right? It is said that Councilor Xu hired a scholar for his grandson when he was three years old. Tut tut tut, they are so privileged, our kids could only play in the field when they were three years old."

"Yeah! The price of writing brushes, ink sticks, paper and inkstones are not cheap, let alone hiring a scholar. The rich people in town don't have so many concerns."

When the villagers thought of Lu Cheng Yu, they sighed again. They all thought that Lu Cheng Yu could make it this time, they did not expect him to fail again.

"I heard that this time Councilor Xu said that it was all thinks to the doll in Sino Commercial House that his grandson could pass the exam. The most-treasured piece in the store!"

"This most-treasured piece in the store is just a big doll, isn't it? It doesn't seem special at all."

"Why isn't it special? It's worth 50 taels."

"In my opinion, no doll is worth such a big amount of money! That Councilor Xu was just too anxious for his grandson. "

"I heard that when the giant doll was first launched, quite a few Councilors offered to buy it."

......

In Sino Commercial House.

Wan Li noticed a woman staring at the store from afar with a strange expression.
