The 22nd year of Prosperity is definitely the most special year of the Dayu Dynasty.
The palace test started on the day the list was released in the Spring Festival, ended in the evening of the second day, and in the morning of the third day, the final result came out.
The top three are Ji Mingshuang of the first class, Li San of the Li family, and Wu Weian of the Wu family.
Feng Wu, who was originally thought by everyone to be in the first A, was pushed down by Wu Weian and became the first in the second A.
As soon as this result came out, the whole capital was boiling.
The first-ranking scholar, Ji Ming, held the hand-picked Shengzhao in both hands and led the scholars to walk through the streets. Behind him on the left, Wu Weian pulled the reins and followed. Although he looked a little nervous, there was a happy smile on his face, and his complexion was better than a few days ago.
The streets were so lively that they were celebrating the upcoming midsummer. The girls threw the fragrant flowers in their hands to Ji Mingshuang, and their eyes were full of admiration.
Every time the champion parade is actually a large-scale blind date meeting, and every family hidden in the dark will see if there are young talents who are suitable for marriage among these jinshi.
The first one is this Ji Mingshuang.
From childhood to adulthood, there are countless women who want to marry Ji Mingshuang, not to mention that he is now the champion.
Appearance, life experience, talent, Ji Mingshuang is a must. There are many high-ranking adults in the court, who have taken a fancy to this son-in-law early on and want to marry the Ji family.
But Ji's elders died unexpectedly in the early years, and now Ji Mingxi is in charge of the house.
The eldest brother is like a father, and it stands to reason that Ji Mingxi can completely decide the marriage of the Ji brothers and sisters.
But no one in the whole court knew, it was useless to find Ji Mingxi. Ji Mingxi can't be the master of his younger siblings, so their daughters must agree to Ji Mingshuang if they want to marry Ji Mingshuang.
It's just that Ji Mingshuang was troubled by the entanglement in his early years, and said that he would not consider this until his brothers married first.
But the elder brothers of the Ji family, including the eldest Ji Mingxi, did not make any news about the marriage, and there was no one who could persuade them.
After all, it can't be persuaded.
A few years ago, some ministers even dared to bypass the Ji family and ask the emperor to marry him. But the emperor said he didn't care about it. Therefore, Ji Mingshuang, a good son-in-law candidate, can only be reluctantly given up.
As for the second one, that is the cousin of the prince, who had already booked a good marriage, and it was not their turn.
As for the third place, although my father is only a 6th rank member, he has performed very well in the Ministry of Industry recently, and he may be able to rise in the future. The most important thing is that, after trying hard for several months, they actually got a first grade. This kind of toughness is really rare, and it can be regarded as a good seedling.
And now that Dahongpao wears it, it looks like a human being.
Alas, why did you think that the eldest son of the Wu family can't do anything? Sure enough, people rely on clothes, and Buddhas rely on gold clothes
But it's too late to say anything now, this Tanhua Lang was picked away by the third girl from the Ji family long ago!
Mentioning this, those who previously agreed that Ji Yunxi was blind felt a little uncomfortable.
And they also remembered one thing, this Wu Weian won the first grade, so the money that Ji Yunxi threw at the Dechang casino can not be returned tenfold
Ten times!
Ji Yunxi smashed 50,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver back then, which means that Ji Yunxi will be able to get back 500,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver! !
-
The Li family ordered a luncheon at Fumanlou and invited all the scholars to attend the banquet.
Ji Mingshuang knew a lot of people, and as soon as he arrived at the door of Fumanlou, he was pulled away by everyone.
Wu Weian followed behind his second brother and walked with the crowd.
This Fumanlou is the best and most expensive restaurant in Shangjing, and the food and drinks during the banquet are not bad.
According to the past, Wu Weian would never be absent, but today, he whispered to his younger brother: "You go to eat, I have something to do, so I have to go back to the house first."
Wu Weining nodded and didn't take it to heart. After seeing Wu Wei'an leave, he went to find his classmates.
Wu Weian hurried back to Wu's house.
Not long after, an old and short carriage came out of Wu's backyard and staggered towards Jifu.
I don't know what was in the carriage. The horse pulling the carriage was obviously very heavy, a little overwhelmed, and its speed was very slow, and it didn't go far for a long time.
Wu Weian in the car urged in a low voice, "Hurry up."
The steward driving outside had a round face: "Young master, it's already the fastest."
These days, he was rubbing against Ji Yunxi's carriage, so Wu Weian, who was completely accustomed to the speed of Ji Yunxi's carriage, said, "??"
The round-faced steward reminded: "Sir, this horse is the cheapest horse in the market."
From what he saw, it was not easy for this horse to hold up until now and to walk.
"Oh." Wu Weian finally remembered this. He just came to the capital a few years ago. He was very poor, and he could only buy the cheapest thing. "This horse has been working hard these days. After today, let it be in the stable. Take a good rest."
The round face in charge: "Then this carriage?"
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows, his tone was indifferent, and he was rather disdainful: "Isn't it enough to buy a sweaty BMW?"
Round face in charge: "??"
He added: "Oh, the carriages are also changed, just follow the lady's way."
At this moment, Wu Weian finally understood why his fiancee always looked so indifferent on weekdays.
He is also very indifferent now, from the inside out, indifferent.
…
At noon, Ji Yunxi was just about to get up.
Yesterday, the palace exam ended in the evening. The eldest brother, the seventh brother and the cash cow, came back late. It was already midnight when she lay down and was about to go to bed.
Wanxiang and Baofu waited on her to wash and dress. As soon as they put on Ji Yunxi's dress, the girl outside the hospital reported that it was Young Master Wu.
Ji Yunxi sat in front of the mirror: "Let him in."
Wu Weian was the first time he entered Ji Yunxi's yard. When he came before, he was basically in the main hall or study of Ji's house.
The main hall and study of the Ji family were already very lavish, but Ji Yunxi's courtyard was even more exquisite and luxurious.
The antiques worth thousands of gold were put aside by her at will, and they were thrown there as if to make up the number.
Not to mention anything else.
Let's just say that her bed is so big that it can be rolled on top of it without being able to roll around, right
She sleeps in such a big bed, isn't she afraid at night
Wu Weian retracted his gaze and looked at Ji Yunxi who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror.
She had just finished taking a shower at the moment, her long black hair was draped behind her, and her face was still stained with water.
Three maids next to her surrounded her, one was carefully combing Ji Yunxi's hair with a fine comb, the other was applying makeup to Ji Yunxi with powder, and the other was standing on the side, waiting to be summoned at any time, waiting to be served to Ji Yunxi Tea and water.
Wu Weian, who was in a good mood at first, sighed inexplicably.
Hearing this, Ji Yunxi looked at him from the mirror, slightly puzzled: "What?"
Wu Weian walked to her side, leaned against the dressing table, and inexplicably said, "Life is different."
Ji Yunxi: "???"
Ji Yunxi was speechless, and she didn't know what he was doing.
But she was too lazy to guess his thoughts. After all, Wu Weian, as long as he wanted to hide, you couldn't guess his true thoughts.
After all, Ji Yunxi had seen that acting once when she was a child, and these days, she seemed a little numb.
Ji Yunxi asked, "Didn't you have a luncheon?"
Wu Weian snorted: "When are we going to the Dechang Casino?"
Ji Yunxi looked at herself in the mirror and said lightly, "Just wait until I have finished my lunch."
This bet, Ji Yunxi won a big victory, and suddenly he could have an extra 450,000 taels of gold and 950,000 taels of silver, which is 1.35 billion.
This is Ji Yunxi's habit. She always likes to convert the silver coins of the Dayu Dynasty into modern RMB, so that she can get more happiness of making money.
1.35 billion is definitely a lot of money. Before getting it, Ji Yunxi was also very troubled, and went to Wu's house from time to time to follow.
But now that it is really in hand, although she is happy in her heart, she is not too excited.
After all, she has a lot of money.
Although this body is only 15 years old, she has lived two lives. In this life, when she was born drinking milk, she was thinking about how to make money.
So, she has a lot of money.
So much that she won the 1.35 billion, she was not very excited, and naturally she was not in a hurry.
She slowly asked the maids to comb her hair in a very complicated bun and put on a makeup that looked simple but was actually time-consuming.
After Ji Yunxi finished packing, almost an hour passed.
At first, Wu Weian was still leaning in front of the dressing table and watching the maids dress her up. Later, he simply leaned on her beauty's couch to drink tea, and drank cup after cup. He drank all the best tea leaves, and it was too light to taste.
Wu Weian thought, if it weren't for the 250,000 taels of gold and 500,000 taels of silver, he would not have waited.
He really won't wait.
Finally, Ji Yunxi got up from the vanity mirror.
Wu Weian also stood up: "Let's go?"
"Aren't you hungry?" Ji Yunxi glanced at him, "I'm hungry, I haven't eaten today."
Wu Weian: "..."
He is hungry, but he is full of tea.
He thought she wouldn't be hungry, but she just sat there for an hour!
Unexpectedly, she will be hungry too
-
Today, Dechang Casino is very lively, but there are not many people gambling inside. Everyone is standing at the door, looking forward to it, as if they are waiting for something.
At this moment, when the application is approaching, everyone is talking about it.
"Are the three girls not coming today?"
"No way? With so much money, I'd be here early in the morning!"
"It's so late, it will be dark soon! What's going on, aren't the Ji family anxious? I'm anxious for them!"
"Maybe something is delayed, just wait."
As soon as the voice fell, a voice came from a distance: "Come!! Here!!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd boiled and looked at each one on tiptoe.
After all, everyone wanted to open their eyes, and also wanted to know how many boxes could be filled with so much money, and how many were piled together!
Everyone blocked a street in Dechang Casino, but when they saw Jifu's motorcade approaching, they all tacitly gave way.
Oh wow! This time, there are fifteen carriages from the Ji family! !
After fifteen carriages passed by, everyone circled back and continued to block the streets.
A battered, very slow, creaking pony was just stuck outside the crowd and lost contact with the convoy ahead.
The round-faced steward looked at the crowd of people in front of him and said loudly, "Let me go, please let me go!"
Everyone ignored them, and each one sharpened their heads and squeezed forward.
The front of the convoy was naturally Ji Yunxi's car.
Wu Weian was also inside. He lowered the curtain of the car and shook his head slightly: "There are more people outside than during the morning parade."
Sure enough, money is the most important thing in anyone's mind.
Ji Yunxi hummed, opened the hidden compartment below, took out a new feathered hand mirror from inside, and looked at her makeup to make sure there was nothing wrong.
Wu Weian subconsciously glanced at her hand mirror, and then lowered his head to see that it was empty before, but at this moment, he was full of secrets again, and his heart was a little sour.
He turned his hand and took out a face mirror from his pocket, followed by looking at his face.
The two were quite satisfied with their makeup, and after putting away their mirrors, they got off the carriage.
The manager of Dechang Casino really wanted to pretend to be dead, but he couldn't.
As soon as it came, there were too many people outside, and he even suspected that people from half the city had come. With so many people watching, the casino can't ignore it. After all, I still want to do business in the future. If everyone thinks that the casino can't afford to lose money, who will come in to gamble
Second, Ji Yunxi's motorcade followed many guards, so it was not easy to provoke him.
The steward rushed to the Feng Mansion to call for someone, and then greeted him with a smile: "I have seen three girls, and I have seen Wu Gongzi."
Then he looked at Wu Weian: "I'm here to congratulate Wu Gongzi."
Wu Weian's dark green is still there, still very obvious, but his complexion is slightly better.
He stood beside Ji Yunxi and said softly, "Thank you."
The steward wanted to greet him, but Ji Yunxi interrupted him directly: "I'm here to get the money."
The smile on the steward's face was very stiff: "Of course, of course, but the money is not a small amount..."
Ji Yunxi interrupted again: "This means, your casinos are not going to give money?"
The steward was sweating and said hurriedly: "Of course not, but—"
Ji Yunxi lightly stroked her hair and temples: "Oh, let's start putting money on it."
As soon as she finished speaking, the guards of the Ji Mansion behind them each carried a suitcase and entered the gate of the casino with vigour and vigour.
The guards of Ji Mansion are all strong and masculine. In front of them, the thugs in the casino are simply not enough to watch.
Without saying a word, the guards opened the box and started looking for money everywhere.
After all, in the casino, on the table, and in the warehouse, there are silver taels.
While they were loading the money, there was a cashier next to them doing the counting.
Steward: "This, this, three girls, you can't do this, this is a robbery—"
Ji Yunxi didn't speak, instead she curved the corners of her lips and looked at the steward with a smile.
The steward was seen speechless.
After all, although this is indeed a robbery, it is indeed not a robbery.
What Ji Yunxi took was all the money she should have taken.
The steward was sweating profusely, but there was really nothing he could do.
Well, they don't account for it. They can't beat it.
The steward can only comfort himself, and he is just a steward.
This casino is not his, but that of the Feng family. When Ji Yunxi took the money to bet, he asked the Lord for his opinion, and the Lord said that he could bet, so he let the third girl of the Ji family bet.
But now, he clearly knew that Young Master Wu won the first grade, and the casino would lose money, but the Feng family had no instructions at all, and no one came, so he was left alone.
How can there be such a reason
The steward tried to persuade him a few times, but he refused to persuade him, and watched the guards brought by Ji Yunxi excitedly load up the money.
Wu Weian sat down with Ji Yunxi in the casino, looked at the scene in front of him, and then looked at Ji Yunxi, who had an indifferent face, and lowered his eyes.
Before he came, he knew that asking for money would not be easy, and he even thought of a lot of ways to help.
But I have to say that it is not as good as his wife's method, which is ruthless and direct.
Sure enough, his wife is more powerful when it comes to making money.
When the money was almost loaded, the Feng family finally came, it was Feng Wu.
Feng Wu almost gritted his teeth, but he always wanted face, and he still had a little smile on his face in front of everyone's eyes.
"Three girls, Young Master Wu." Feng Wu pretended to be surprised, "What happened?"
Ji Yunxi didn't want to talk to Feng Wu very much, so she glanced at Wu Weian.
Wu Weian smiled and replied, "Young Master Feng, Yunniang first spent a lot of money in the casino and bet that I would win the first prize. We won the bet, so I accompany Yunniang to withdraw the money." After speaking, he Very curious and puzzled, he asked back, "By the way, Young Master Feng, why are you here?"
Feng Wu was silent: "This casino is my Feng family property."
Wu Weian was shocked and said, "What a coincidence? Is this casino actually opened by Brother Feng's family?"
Feng Wu: "Yes."
Wu Weian's face changed from shock to joy: "That's great! I was worried that this casino would be reluctant to give money, but if this casino belongs to Brother Feng, I don't worry anymore. Brother Feng has always been of good character, Feng Your Excellency is even more respected by everyone, Your Excellency the Censor, and things like relying on money will definitely not happen. Mother Yun, what do you think?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "That's true. Several brothers in my family often ask me to match up with Fourth Young Lady Feng, no, the noble lady."
Feng Wuyi had a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest.
When he came, he had already thought about what to say, but now, he can't say it anymore.
If he said it, wouldn't he slap his Feng family's face
The Feng family has always cared about their face, and they would not let people look down on them. Feng Wuzheng, he forced out a smile: "The two of you are wrong."
Ji Yunxi brought a lot of people, and the money in the casino was quickly emptied, leaving nothing left.
The accountant from Ji Mansion came over and interrupted the conversation between the three: "Miss San, all the silver coins here are less than 50,000 taels of gold."
In other words, even Ji Yunxi's capital was not enough.
She raised her eyebrows slightly: "Fifth Young Master, this seems a little unreasonable?"
Feng Wu glanced at the people watching the excitement outside and felt extremely ashamed. His face was ashen, and he insisted: "There is generally no excess cash in casinos."
Wu Weian snorted and asked curiously, "Where is it?"
Feng Wu clenched his fist: "In my warehouse."
Ji Yunxi nodded: "Then I'll ask the Fifth Young Master's people to lead the way, and I'll ask the servants of the mansion to fetch it."
Feng Wu did not dare to accept this.
The money in the Feng family's treasury is not something he can call the shots.
And Feng Wu knew very well that even if he took out all the money in the treasury, it would not be enough.
Feng Wudao: "I have to ask my father for instructions."
Ji Yunxi was quite understanding: "If this is the case, then it will be troublesome."
Wu Weian asked more: "Brother Feng, when will we be able to get together? I'm ashamed to say that this money is spent by Yun Niang. As a man, I can't let women spend so much on me. Only the money comes back. Only in Yunniang's hands can I feel at ease. I hope Brother Feng will understand my anxiety."
Feng Wu couldn't laugh anymore: "I will as soon as possible."
Ji Yunxi didn't even think that he could get the money back today.
After all, it takes time for her to collect so much cash, let alone others
Of course, Ji Yunxi guessed that the Feng family might not be able to get together. But it didn't matter, Ji Yunxi didn't want to collect it.
She said: "Then three days later, I will let the guards in the house go to Feng's house to withdraw money, this will trouble the son."
After speaking, Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian left the place.
On the carriage, Wu Weian said, "Give me 20,000 taels of gold first."
Ji Yunxi looked at him inexplicably: "Why?"
Wu Weian raised his eyebrows: "Did Yunniang forget, you said that after this matter is completed, we will be half of us."
This time she took more than 40,000 taels of gold, and he only needed 20,000, which was already a big concession.
Ji Yunxi put down the tea cup in his hand: "What I said is that the money won is half of the money. And I haven't recovered the cost."
Wu Weian: "???"
-
The next day, just after the morning court, Feng Qishi went to the prince and Ji Mingxi immediately.
"His Royal Highness, Lord Ji." Feng Qishi smiled wryly, "I really have no choice but to beg the two of you with a shy face."
The prince has always been a very worried person, and Feng Qishi is his person. The prince will not care about it. Hearing the words, he said: "What happened? Come and listen."
Feng Qishi looked at Ji Mingxi with his head down, and told the Crown Prince about the casino: "My fifth son and Ji's younger sister are both young and not very sensible, so this kind of thing happened. What His Highness does not know is that although the casino is the business of the minister's family, the affairs are handled by the steward. Do this business. After all, the money is not a small amount, how can these dolls be fooled."
The prince frowned: "I know all about this, don't you Feng family know?"
Feng Qishi: "..."
The prince recalled: "In the beginning, there was a lot of uproar in the capital, and I persuaded Mingxi to let him go back and have a good talk with Yunxi, so he can't spend like this in the future."
Feng Qishi hurriedly said: "Yes, this is what I mean. I will return the money of the three girls back then, and this should not have happened. Master Ji, what do you think?"
Ji Mingxi raised his head: "Master Feng, I have no control over this matter. Yunniang has always been very assertive and doesn't listen to me."
At the end, Ji Mingxi sighed deeply, feeling very helpless.
Feng Qishi: "..."
The crown prince also sighed: "I also watched Yunxi grow up, I understand Yunxi's temperament. Master Feng, you are still willing to gamble and admit defeat, just give Yunxi as much as you should. After all, what you have done, It's already done. Your family is still running a casino, and you should understand the words "willing to accept the loss."
At this point, the prince's path is impossible.
This is also the reason why, although the Feng family belongs to the prince's party, they have been unwilling to submit to the prince and want their daughter to enter the palace and give birth to a prince as a concubine.
Because between the Ji family and others, the prince must choose the Ji family.
Feng Qishi hurriedly returned to Feng Mansion, dragged his wife and said a lot in the room.
The next day, Feng Qishi's wife entered the palace to meet her daughter.
Feng Si is now in the limelight in the harem. His Majesty has turned over her brand for three consecutive days.
Not long after Feng Guiren met his mother, he went to the imperial study to deliver chicken soup.
Before Feng Guiren entered the palace, he was actually still afraid. After all, the current saint is about the same age as her father.
But on that day, when I first saw the saint, Feng Guiren didn't think so.
Although the saint is older, he is also personable and gentle. He has no air in private and is very kind to her.
Therefore, Feng Guiren was arrogant and arrogant, playing with his temper in the imperial study to ask the emperor to find a way to solve the Ji Yunxi matter.
Feng Guiren did this with confidence. She has seen all the concubines in the harem these days.
She felt that there was no one better than her.
The chief eunuch who had been with the emperor for many years slowly exited the imperial study and closed the door properly.
He thought, no matter how good the skin looks, if you don't have the inside, you will be tired of watching it for two days.
This Feng Guiren, I'm afraid it won't be long.
In the end, after three days passed, the Feng family did not find any way.
On the third day, the guards of Ji Mansion arrived at the gate of Feng's house early in the morning.
The Feng family had no choice but to take out the money in the treasury and pieced it together. In the end, they collected about 70,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver.
Feng Qishi and Feng Wu did not appear, and only sent a housekeeper to negotiate.
Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian didn't show up either. The person who came was the accountant of Ji's house. He told the housekeeper of the Feng family what Ji Yunxi meant: "Looking at the past relationship, the three girls are willing to take a step back. The remaining money You don’t need to pay it back, you can pay for it with the eight casinos in the Feng family’s hands.”
Yes, Ji Yunxi actually took a fancy to the Feng family's casino.
It is said that it is better to give a man a fish than to teach a man to fish. In turn, it is better to cut a man to fish than to cut a man to fish.
…
In Ji's family, Ji Yunxi's courtyard, Wu Weian looked at the gold in front of him, and was not very happy.
Because it's a lot less than he thought.
Wu Weian pursed his lips, raised his head and asked Ji Yunxi, who was sitting in the main seat drinking tea, "So, I can only get 10,000 taels of gold in the end?"
Ji Yunxi blew the steaming tea lightly: "There are four other casinos, which are also yours. I'm just running it on your behalf, and the profits will be settled to you."
Wu Weian still wants cash more, the money is real when he has it in his hand.
The profit of the casino is settled monthly. This means that he may really be tied to the Ji family's boat.
Ji Yunxi remembered something, put down the tea cup, got up and walked aside to take out a gilded post.
She walked to Wu Weian and handed over the post.
Wu Weian didn't answer: "What is this?"
Ji Yunxi said lightly, "The next few months are auspicious days. It's time for us to get married. You can choose one and tell me."
Wu Weian was quiet for a while, then reached out and took it: "Oh."
The author has something to say: It is known that today is March 20, and there are three suitable dates for weddings:
A. April 18;
B. May 12;
C. The seventh day of the sixth month;
Excuse me, Wu Da finally chose ().
