Mr. Qi looked at him with a look in his heart. Thinking of his arrogant son-in-law, he twitched his lips and said to Gu Sheng, "Come and sit at home some other time."
Gu Sheng said hurriedly: "I will definitely come to visit you some other time."
After chatting for a while, I heard the commotion outside and gestured to open the door of the box. Sure enough, it was Juren who was rushing to take the exam and was talking loudly again, talking about people's livelihood, from pharmaceutical factories to grain seeds, and finally mentioned the fertile land obtained through land reclamation.
Mr. Qi said: "You are really young, full of vigor and vitality."
Changzhi nodded, "Indeed."
After sitting for a while and leaving, Chang Zhi paused when he went downstairs. Liu Mingsheng also stood up suddenly, "It's you."
Changzhi coughed and said, "Are you going to Beijing to take the exam?"
He said that he seemed to have forgotten something, and when he saw Liu Mingsheng, he remembered it. Liu Mingsheng still owed him four letters written silently, and he completely forgot to pick them up when he returned to Beijing.
Liu Mingsheng calmed down after getting excited. In his impression, Zhou Xiucai was dressed in commoners. He knew that the clothes he was wearing now were not affordable for ordinary people.
Lord Qi raised his eyebrows, "Do you know him?"
Chang Zhi coughed and said, "I, Chengchuan Prefecture, left Beijing early for a visit before taking the exam. I met this person during the visit."
Chang Zhi said to Liu Mingsheng: "I'm very happy to see you in the capital. You must come to the capital for Chunwei. Can you tell me Qiuwei's ranking."
Liu Mingsheng was dizzy. He repeated four words in his mind: "Sichuan Prefecture Examination", so he was a scholar who studied abroad. His heart was pounding and frightened. "Sir, sir, this student has lived up to your expectations and won third place." ”
Chang Zhi raised his eyebrows, which was a bit unexpected, "Not bad, I have accumulated a lot of experience."
Liu Mingsheng couldn't help but ask, "Are you really Mr. Zhou, the examiner of Sichuan Province?"
Lord Qi laughed and said, "Yes, he is Lord Zhou who is called the King of Hell."
Chang Zhi cleared his throat. Seeing many people looking at him, he said to Liu Mingsheng, "I have broken my promise. I will give the set of four books to your child."
Before Liu Mingsheng could speak, Chang Zhi and his party had already left.
After leaving the teahouse, Mr. Qi asked, "Why don't you ask him more about how to contact him in the future?"
Changzhi shook his head, "I didn't want to recruit students. It was his opportunity when I visited him, so that's good."
His excessive attention may not be a good thing for Liu Mingsheng.
Mr. Qi stroked his beard and said, "I'm leaving first."
Chang Zhi got on the carriage and motioned for Gu Sheng to come up, and said to Gu Sheng: "In the future, if Mr. Qi will take care of you, you should learn more from Mr. Qi."
Gu Sheng understood that he was on good terms with his future prince-in-law, but he still couldn't get into some circles he wanted to enter. Master Zhou gave him a chance today.
When Changzhi came back, he did not go back to the courtyard. Instead, he went to the main courtyard and bought snacks on the way back. "Mom, I bought your favorite snacks." Zhulan was reading the books compiled by Mingrui and Minghui, feeling a little tired. Rubbing his eyes, "Did you take a detour to buy it?"
Changzhi smiled, "It's not far away if you have a carriage."
Zhulan washed her hands and ate the snacks with a fork, "I was just about to eat it and you bought it."
"You like to eat. My son will buy it for you tomorrow."
"It's okay to eat it once every few days. If you eat too much, you'll get tired."
Changzhi motioned for the girls to go down and poured juice for his mother himself, "Drink some juice to relieve your tiredness."
Zhulan didn't eat much and stopped eating after drinking juice. "You're back just in time. Help Mingrui and the others read this book. No matter how they sum it up, they are wrong."
She had a headache from reading it, and she felt dizzy looking at the records one after another.
Changzhi took the book. This book was about astronomy. For a top student who likes to read any book, Changzhi smiled after reading it and said, "I will tell them about it later."
"That's good."
Changzhi sat with her for a while before taking the book and leaving. Zhulan breathed a sigh of relief, hey, her grandson thought she could do anything!
The next day, Zhou Shuren entered the palace with a thick book. When Eunuch Zhang saw it, he stretched out his hand and said, "Master Marquis, I will help you get it."
Zhou Shuren dodged, "I can just take these things. You will be exhausted after standing all day."
Eunuch Zhang smiled and said, "This old slave will also take a rest."
Zhou Shuren entered the main hall while he was talking. When he came in, he saw that the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was also there. Then he looked at the book in the emperor's hand. He saw that this year's examination had begun, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel had submitted the list to the emperor in advance.
To Zhou Shuren's surprise, the Minister of Civil Affairs brought officials he was unfamiliar with today.
When the emperor saw Zhou Shuren, he motioned to sit down and wait for a while.
Zhou Shuren put down the book in his hand, the prince sat over, and then picked up the book he brought in.
This book records the furniture, antiques, etc. that were not disposed of during the confiscation of the house, as well as the fields, shops, houses, etc. obtained from the confiscation of the house. These are the best things to deal with. No matter how much is copied, people will buy it. The emperor also bought several houses and villages. !
Jewelry is also easy to renovate and sell to foreign businessmen. There are too many antique calligraphy and paintings, so you have to deal with a batch slowly. Furniture and ornaments are difficult to deal with. If it is too expensive, no one will want to take it cheap!
After waiting for a while, the Minister of Civil Affairs led the people away. The emperor looked at the prince, and the prince said heartbrokenly: "Father, please take a look."
The emperor took a look and said, "So much furniture?"
Zhou Shuren, "Yeah."
In the eyes of the emperor, this is all money, "Renovate it and sell it again?"
Zhou Shuren, “It’s not easy to sell either.”
Many of them are dowry furniture and are custom-made.
The emperor endured the heartache and looked through it again, "If it doesn't work, I'll sell it cheaply."
Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yeah."
The emperor took the list sent by the official department. Zhou Shuren's sharp eyes saw that the emperor marked behind Jiao Han at a glance. The emperor noticed, "Do you know him?"
Zhou Shuren shook his head, "I don't know him."
The emperor said: "I have heard from King Qi several times that his daughter has caught the eye of Concubine Chen. If you look at those on this list, they are all capable of doing well."
Zhou Shuren knew who it was, "I also heard my wife talking about the Jiao family girl."
The emperor pointed at the storybook and said, "I saw that the storybook written by this girl is indeed good."
Zhou Shuren didn't think that the emperor would pay attention to a little girl for no reason, "My wife also likes to see her."
The emperor put down the list and said, "I believe in Mrs. Chen's judgment of people."
Zhou Shuren suddenly had a guess in his mind. The emperor was doing it for the third prince. He glanced at the prince out of the corner of his eye and saw that the third prince had an errand. The emperor was pleased and wanted to use the marriage to tell the third prince clearly that he should go about his errands accordingly.
He thought that the wife of the third prince would not be of high birth, but the result was beyond his expectation. He also thought that his wife said that Miss Jiao was good. The emperor must have considered her character and so on. In addition, Mrs. Chen gave her extra points. He was really sure that Miss Jiao would be just that. No surprise.
The prince never interferes in the marriage of his half-brother. He must interfere with the marriage of his biological brother. It is not to suppress his biological brother, but to hope that his brother can have close friends to accompany him. The uncle's life is simple and happy. He hopes that his brother can also live a young life. Uncle-like days.
In the evening, when Zhou Shuren went home and told his speculation, Zhulan was quite surprised, "Rong Chuan said that the third prince has a good temperament."
Zhou Shuren said, "The third prince can't deceive Rong Chuan yet."
This also proves that the third prince has a clear heart and is happy with his wife's low background. In the future, he will be able to wait for the title of king in peace and contentment, and his life will be good.
