Mrs. Wang was originally a person who came from the deep house compound, and she was kind-hearted by nature. In recent days, she had become a bit cruel under the continuous influence of He Pingting.
People from all over the country are busy with the matter of choosing a concubine for King Yao, and the Qiu Wei Examination over there is also very lively.
In the past few days, many students and candidates would gather in Piaoxiang Residence every day. After eating together, they would discuss how to recite poems and write poems, analyze the world situation, and talk about life ideals.
Standing on the attic on the second floor, Chunfeng felt that this was not the state he was in before taking the college entrance examination.
Although I was nervous, I still didn’t forget that a few friends talked about their life ideals together and some of their grand goals.
But how many people can achieve their goals and fulfill their dreams without forgetting their original aspirations
Just like when she originally wanted to be a police officer who eliminates harm for the people, she ended up traveling to this strange ancient time that couldn't even be traced in history.
This is the impermanence of life, but looking at the spring breeze of these high-spirited students still feels very intimate.
Therefore, students who spend money at Piaoxiangju can enjoy a 20% discount. Chunfeng’s unintentional move has brought a lot of profits to Piaoxiangju.
Seeing the business getting better and better, the guys at Piaoxiang Curie were so laughing that they almost couldn't see their eyes.
Because the boss said that the better their business, the more money they can make.
In just a few months, the wages of the workers at Piaoxiangju have changed from five or two months of silver to the current twelve months of silver.
The more money they get, the more diligent they are in their work, thus forming a virtuous cycle in Piaoxiangju. The harder everyone works, the more money they get, and the more they get, the harder they work. Therefore, Piaoxiangju The business in the capital is growing day by day.
In the end, Piaoxiangju was no longer enough to meet everyone's needs, and Chunfeng had to choose to open a branch. Of course, this is all a story later.
Let’s talk about King Yao’s selection of concubines. Since it is a nationwide selection, it is necessary to select from various places first, and then send the most beautiful ones to the capital, and then re-select them. Finally, the queen mother of King Yao will personally select them.
This standard is comparable to the scale of the emperor's selection of concubines, so the other concubines in the harem are also ready to move, and they have made requests for their princes, saying that they want to get the glory of King Yao, and wait until King Yao chooses the right one for their princes. Choose a concubine or two.
Everyone was so sincere and humbled. How could the emperor not agree? Anyway, there will be many beauties at that time, so let’s choose them all to save ourselves from worrying about it in the future.
So a ceremony for selecting a concubine for King Yao evolved into a grand event for selecting concubines for all the princes.
It took more than half a month to go through this level-by-level selection process, and these selections only included some women from ordinary families and some women from low-ranking official families.
People like Chunfeng and He Pingting who have status and family background do not need to be screened and will directly enter the final selection.
Half a month later, the imperial examination results were released. The top three candidates were He Luohua, the top scholar, Xiang Jinming, the second-place candidate, and Liu Yixuan, the top candidate!
As soon as the gold list was released, the top three figures immediately became the figures that students rushed to befriend.
Chunfeng didn't expect that this year's three top names were actually people she knew well, and she felt very happy. What surprised her even more was that her cousin actually went to take the exam.
In the capital, young men like my cousin who have hereditary titles in their families will not take such an exam.
After all, scientific examinations have always been a good opportunity for many poor scholars to make a comeback. Even if people with such status do not need to take such an examination, they will still have a lot of good resources to choose from.
As soon as Chunfeng was happy, he said that he would invite the three top leaders to gather together at Piaoxiang Residence.
As a result, I don't know who spread this news, so the news that the boss of Piaoxiangju was going to entertain this year's three toppers spread like wildfire.
Piaoxiangju once again became a gathering place for students. For this reason, Chunfeng specially opened a wall in Piaoxiangjuli. Anyone who recited poems, discussed world affairs, and had outstanding articles here could be framed and put on the wall. Displayed for later reference.
After the Qiu Wei Examination, the famous people in the gang will not only be selected by the emperor for official positions, but some of them will be accepted as disciples by some famous families.
It can be regarded as an opportunity for these students to make a comeback. If they can be appreciated by their masters, these scholars will have the opportunity to be recommended as officials in the future.
After the Qiu Wei Examination, the beauties who chose the concubine came to the capital one after another from all over the country. For a while, the inns in the capital were overcrowded. In almost every inn, you could see gorgeously dressed women who were coming in and out all day long.
If those women weren't well-behaved and well-dressed, people who didn't know would have thought that the inn had been turned into a brothel!
Chunfeng took some time out of his busy schedule to go to the Duke's Mansion these past few days, first to pay his respects to his grandmother, and secondly to see Lan Lan. It had been almost a month since she got married, and she hadn't had time to visit him a few times.
"Grandma, my granddaughter is here to see you!" Chunfeng shouted to the old lady as soon as she entered the door.
"Well, it's just in time. Come on, I've just made a pot of bird's nest porridge here, and I'm worried that I can't finish it by myself!" The old lady said with a smile when she saw the spring breeze coming in.
"Oh, then I'm in for a treat. I haven't eaten yet, so I'll take advantage of grandma!" Chunfeng smiled and sat down next to grandma to take the bird's nest porridge that grandma served her.
"Aren't you very busy recently? Why are you free to come here today?" the old lady said after finishing a bowl of porridge and wiping her mouth with a snow-white brocade handkerchief.
"No matter how busy you are, don't you have to take some time to see grandma?" Chunfeng raised his head and said sweetly.
"Okay, grandma knows that you are filial and should take care of yourself when you are busy. How is your mother lately?" The old lady became even more happy when she heard Chunfeng's words.
"My mother is doing well. The business in the art embroidery workshop is good these days. My mother is smiling so hard that she can hardly close her mouth from ear to ear every day!" Chunfeng said with a smile, put down the bowl of porridge in her hand, and asked Grandma Remove used tableware promptly.
"That's good. Seeing how happy your family is, I feel relieved." The old lady sighed and nodded.
The old lady seemed to have remembered something and continued to speak to Chunfeng.
"By the way, it's almost time for King Yao to choose his concubine. Your current status also has great advantages, but you must be well prepared. If you are missing something, just ask your grandmother directly. Don't be embarrassed! You all, all She is grandma's good granddaughter, so you good grandma will be happy."
The old lady said with a smile on her face.
