The emperor frowned and tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers: "You have a name and a surname, so it should be true. I don't expect Chunyu to have the courage to deceive you, but... what should Liuli do?" This is the Queen Mother's decree, but if it is forced, it will not be justified both emotionally and rationally. This matter is a headache!
Xia Zhuofeng was also thinking: If what Chunyu said is true, then this woman named Ye Jinxuan is indeed admirable. Although there is no matchmaker's words, it is understandable that her parents' orders are based on their interests, but... Chunyu has found her. I haven't found it for so long. The sky is so big and the land is so vast and there are so many people. I'm afraid there's little hope.
For a moment, there was silence in the royal study room, and you could hear a needle drop.
After a long time, the emperor raised his eyes and asked, "What if you never find Miss Ye?"
Xia Chunyu said resolutely: "If you can't find her for a day, you will look for her. If you can't find her for a lifetime, you will never marry me."
"That won't work." The emperor said, "There are three kinds of unfilial piety. The worst is not having an heir. What's more, you are the prince of Jingan. Let's do this. I will set a time limit for you. If you can't find one within three months, you can marry Liuli." .”
The emperor has also determined that this person is difficult to find. It may not be possible to find him even in three years, not to mention three months. In this way, it makes sense logically. When the time comes, Chunyu will have no excuses.
"Your Majesty, how can three months be enough?" Xia Chunyu asked anxiously.
"Chunyu, I think of you as a person who attaches great importance to love and righteousness, so I am extremely gracious to you." The emperor emphasized his tone and said solemnly.
Xia Zhuofeng understood what the emperor meant. In fact, there was no hope of finding this person. The three-month period was just to leave a step for the royal family and Chunyu. If Chunyu never married, he would not agree.
Xia Zhuofeng was afraid that his son would say something stupid again that would offend the emperor, so he hurriedly agreed: "What the emperor said is absolutely true, and I also mean the same thing."
The news reached Liuli Palace, Liuli felt depressed, everything was fine, why did Ye Jinxuan show up again? Although the emperor said that there was basically no hope of finding this person, but what if
Liuli called the palace servants: "Go and find out for me Ye Jinxuan, the daughter of Ye Binghuai, a fellow governor of Yangzhou. Come and report as soon as possible."
The palace man accepted the order and retreated. Xiaoya remonstrated: "Princess, didn't the prince say that Li Yao saved his life at Heifeng Ridge? Why don't you ask Li Yao to ask."
Liuli thought about it, yes! Li Yao must know about Ye Jinxuan's matter.
Ye Jiayao is currently busy in heaven.
The peak sales period for mooncakes has passed, so she asked Jiang Li to make several more flower-shaped molds and change the mooncakes into snow-skin ice cream pastries. Although the sales were good, they were far from comparable to snow-skin mooncakes. In order to ensure profits, In order to save her brothers' wages and bonuses, she spent some time thinking about new products.
What's hot lately? It is undoubtedly the exam in September. Talents from all over the Huaisong Dynasty gathered in Jinling. At that time, each restaurant will introduce some auspicious dishes. For those talents, it is not enough to pray to gods and Buddhas. They have to live in the Zhuangyuan Building and the Ji Di Building, and they also need to eat. Eating auspicious dishes is a good sign.
They only introduced a few dishes, but Ye Jiayao decided to go big and launch the Dragon Gate Banquet.
The fish jumped over the dragon's gate and won the first prize.
Get a complete set.
In fact, the dish is still the same dish, just change it and give it a nice name. For Ye Jiayao, this is simply a piece of cake.
Of course, advertising and promotion are also very important. After all, many talented people come from other places and don't know much about the market in Jinling. Therefore, Ye Jiayao personally wrote an advertisement and asked Manager Zhao to find a few beautifully written words and make hundreds of copies. During the afternoon break, all the staff went out to various inns to distribute the advertisement.
This is what the advert says.
In the morning he was a scholar, and in the evening he went to the Huanghuang Emperor's Hall. The fish travels thousands of miles and jumps over the dragon's gate, and the world hears about the number one scholar. If you are talented, you need the blessings of gods and Buddhas, and heaven is in the middle to bring you good luck.
On this occasion when the golden breeze blows, Jinling Tianshangju Restaurant, Chef Li from the imperial kitchen, has made every effort to prepare the Dragon Gate Banquet and the No. 1 Scholar's Banquet for the talents. I wish the talents a surge of literary thoughts and, with God's help, they will be named on the gold medal list.
As soon as the advertisement went out, several groups of people came that night and ordered the Longmen Banquet and reserved seats.
The delicious food, exquisite dishes, and auspicious dish names made all the talented people come and return happily, and soon the reputation spread.
After getting off duty, Xia Chunyu and He Lianxuan sat in the teahouse drinking tea. He Lianxuan took out the advertisement and gave it to Xia Chunyu.
He smiled and said, "Brothers and sisters have so many ideas. Who could have thought of this? Although this poem is not very good, the effect is pretty good."
Xia Chunyu read the advertisement and smiled: "She is really good at doing business."
"So, you are lucky enough to marry." He Lianxuan teased.
Xia Chunyu smiled bitterly, "Marry whatever you want, don't you know that your good brother had a hand in it?"
"What are you going to do with the three-month period given by the emperor? When will you let her show up?" He Lianxuan asked.
"Let's do it step by step!" Xia Chunyu was thinking a few days ago that he might as well let it go, but when the emperor mentioned Liuli today, he realized that he really couldn't accept other women besides her.
"I heard from Xiaojing that you and your siblings have had some misunderstandings recently."
"It's a bit troublesome, but it will be solved." Xia Chunyu did not deny it. He had to sort out his emotions.
"Well, I asked Mr. Xiao Jing to participate. If he does anything, you will treat him as a child and play around."
Xia Chunyu smiled, kid? Children all know how to give ancestral jade pendants as gifts.
"I know."
"If you need any help, just ask me. Simon doesn't need me to go anyway. I've been a little busy recently!" He Lianxuan sipped his tea angrily. It was originally agreed that he would lead the army to attack Simon, but the emperor changed his mind. He made up his mind and sent General Huo.
"It's not necessary for the moment. At the last moment, you can just come out and say a word." Xia Chunyu said. Today, he has laid the groundwork in front of the emperor, and the emperor cannot punish Yaoyao's daughter for disguising herself as a man and deceiving the emperor.
After the tea party, Xia Chunyu returned home, and someone was already waiting for him.
"Back to your lord, I have found out the details of Fang Wanting. She is the second daughter of Mrs. Ning's sister of the Ye family. She has been married to someone else. The third son of the prefect of Haining is named Du Heng. I heard that she will also come to take the exam this year. "
Xia Chunyu raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "Go and find out where this Du Heng has settled."
"Yes." The visitor bowed his hands and stepped back.
Song Qidao: "Master, what are you going to do?"
Xia Chunyu sneered and said, "Watch the show! This show is getting more and more exciting."
Mrs. Ning asked her niece to carry the bag to see how you carry it.
"In the past few days, you have publicized my search for Miss Ye Jinxuan, Miss Ye. I want this matter to become public knowledge, and also send a message to my wife's maternal grandfather's family. It's time for them to appear. "Xia Chunyu said.
Song Qi's work efficiency was very high. In less than three days, the news that Prince Jingan was looking for his wife, Miss Ye, who was in trouble with the CCP in the village, became the hottest topic among people in Jinling City after dinner.
This story is not only the story of an infatuated man looking for his wife, but also promotes Ye Jinxuan as a brave, resourceful, affectionate and righteous woman. Then, everyone naturally connected the true and false rumors about Miss Ye a while ago. Questioning eyes once again turned to Mu Shilang's mansion, and Ye Jinrong once again became a popular figure in Jinling City.
It's just that this heat is from frying in a pan or roasting on the stove.
"Mom, what should I do?" Ye Jinrong lost her composure.
The rumors that were finally put to rest are now spreading again. How should we deal with them this time
Ning was also distressed and was planning to return to Yangzhou.
"In my opinion, it was Jingan Hou Shizi who was responsible last time. No wonder he came to my house and specifically asked about the eldest lady." Wei Liujiang gritted his teeth. He really hated Xia Chunyu and made him infamous. He wanted to No one is willing to accept him as a disciple.
"But didn't he say that Jinxuan was dead?" Ye Jinrong said.
"Who knows whether what he said is true or false." Wei Liujiang said angrily.
Ning mused and said: "If he is really dead, it would be easier to handle. I'm afraid he is not dead."
"Now that the Prince of Jingan is looking for Jinxuan with great fanfare, we can't pretend to be deaf and dumb!" Jin Rong was very anxious.
"Then what else can we do? There were thousands of roads at the beginning, but you chose to take this road. Now that you have made a decision, you must be ruthless and leave no consequences. Now you decide how to solve it yourself!" Ning His airway.
Wei Liujiang muttered: "I asked the bandits to kill him in the first place. Who knew they didn't kill him?"
"Those bandits must be greedy for Jin Xuan's beauty and are reluctant to attack her." Jin Rong said angrily.
Ning glared at the two of them and sighed dejectedly. If she had known earlier, it would be better to do it herself and use the name of Heifenggang to do it, but now it is too late to say anything.
"I have no choice but to ask your father to take action. Now I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm afraid that Jinxuan's maternal grandfather's family will come to ask for someone, and your father won't be able to handle it at that time." Ning said worriedly.
"Then there's nothing you can hide."
"Mom, if they really want to come, let's tell the truth. Jinxuan has already entered the bandits' den. We tried our best to hide it for the sake of the Ye family's reputation. What's wrong? I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just afraid that Jinxuan will not die. Damn it, hide somewhere and wait to watch our show." Jin Rong said.
Wei Liujiang nodded in agreement with Jin Rong's statement.
"Then what should we do? Cutting the grass without eradicating the roots will lead to endless troubles." Ning criticized.
The two of them lowered their heads and did not dare to argue. It was indeed their negligence. They thought the matter was well planned and seamless, but they did not expect that something would go wrong.
"Then...can we hold the housewarming party the day after tomorrow?" Wei Liujiang asked weakly.
His new house has been renovated. Mr. Kanyu said that it is a geomantic treasure place with Wenchang star hanging high in the sky. He will be able to try it out next month. He hopes to move in as soon as possible for good luck.
"We'll do it, of course we have to do it. The more lively the housewarming, the better. Maybe Prince Jingan is just bluffing us. Forget it, I'll talk to your father-in-law about this first. Just ignore it and get ready for the exam. , Your own future is important." Ning said.
