Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 40
Just when Jiang Zhixia was going around the group arranged by Uncle He and Aunt Zhang, preparing all kinds of things for the winter, the day when Qiu Wei released the list came.

On the first day of September, early in the morning, the alley was full of people.

Aunt Li and Wei Zhuxian hired a carriage together to go to the Gongyuan to read the list.Master Wu and Master Fan also arranged for their servants to take a carriage to the gate of the Gong Yuan and wait for the poster to be posted.

As a neighbor, Jiang Zhixia naturally had to take care of her.So I arranged for Uncle He to keep an eye on the movement outside the door, and no matter who won the exam, he would come back quickly to announce the good news, so that she could go and give gifts.

Jiang Zhixia even prepared a congratulatory gift, the Four Treasures of the Superior Study in triplicate.

At the end of the day, Uncle He asked Aunt Zhang to come in and tell Xia that Wei Xiucai had failed the ranking.

When Uncle He heard Aunt Li's crying at the door and saw Wei Xiucai's mournful face, he knew he had failed the ranking.He didn't dare to look too much, so he quickly and quietly closed the door.

Wei Xiucai fell off the list, so Zhixia naturally couldn't go to congratulate him.

Not long after, news came one after another that the young masters of Mr. Wu and Mr. Fan also failed the rankings.

I heard that it was because of the double happiness in the palace this year, and the emperor was in a good mood.Therefore, in order to impress the emperor more in the spring next year, there are especially many shade students and supervising students in autumn this year.

Therefore, children from ordinary families like Wei Xiucai, who were not particularly talented in their studies, naturally failed the ranking.

The alley was uncommonly quiet for a few days.

Not only the children in the alley were detained at home and were not allowed to go out to play and play, even the children were naughty, and the voice of adults beating the children was much quieter, for fear of offending the three frustrated people.

Not only in the alleys, but even in the shops on the street, the business is slightly affected.

Except for some rich families who have nothing to do with the scientific examination and will go shopping unscrupulously, other families with candidates are not too happy to go shopping and shopping.

Jiang Zhixia was worried that Zhu Cuilou's business would also be affected, and she was worried about letting others inquire, so she went to Sheng'an Street to check the situation secretly.

Zhu Cuilou's business was indeed somewhat affected, but overall it was okay. After all, Zhu Cuilou's main customers were the wives and ladies of the noble minister's family.They were less affected by the imperial examinations.

And Zhu Cuilou also informed in advance that new accessories will be launched after a period of time, which also ensures that the popularity continues.

Just when the alley was quiet, Chu Mufeng next door took a rest.

The alley, which had been quiet for several days, suddenly became noisy.Because Chu Mufeng is a single man, when he is resting, he often invites friends to party and drink.

After Chu Mufeng heard that the three examinees in the alley had failed the exams and stayed at home depressed, he called a table at home, went to someone's house, and half-forcibly invited the three candidates. Went to drink at his house.

At the end of the drink, all three of them cried a lot, but their hearts were all opened up, and they were able to go out to meet people.

When Jiang Zhixia heard those children talking about this at the door, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Sure enough, the simple way of simple people cured the non-simple hypocrisy.

Isn't it hypocritical?It’s just a failed exam, life is long, and there are many paths, so why don’t we live in the future?

"After my little uncle failed the exam, my mother didn't let me speak loudly at home." The Wu family boy said angrily at first, "My little uncle has been staying in the house for several days. Both my grandpa and grandma were in a hurry, but they didn't dare to say anything. My mother said that it was because they were afraid of irritating my little uncle. This time, after my little uncle had drunk at Uncle Chu's house and came back drunk, he He left the room by himself, and said that he will study hard again in the future, and go to fight hard after three years." The kid from the Wu family then said with a smile.

"Yes, yes. My elder brother is also like this. Thanks to Uncle Chu, otherwise, not only would I not be able to go out to play now, but I would not be able to speak loudly at home. It would suffocate me." Mr. Fan's family boy followed suit go along.

After the children played noisy games at the door for a while, they each took a bag of snacks given by Jiang Zhixia and went home happily.

Jiang Zhixia was about to close the door, but saw the little girl from Master Fan's family sneaking back and grabbing her skirt.

"What's wrong?" Zhi Xia asked softly, squatting down.

"I overheard my mother chatting with my grandma. My mother said that Grandma Li is looking for an official media to marry Uncle Wei." The little girl from Master Fan's family said softly, "My grandma also said that Uncle Wei I’m 25 this year. I also said that Grandma Li was thinking that Uncle Wei passed the exam this year, so she went to marry an official lady. As a result, Uncle Wei failed the exam, so Grandma Li asked the official media to make a marriage proposal. However, Both my mother and my grandma think that you are very kind, Sister Jiang, and said that it would be fine for you to marry Uncle Wei. Sister Jiang, will you marry Uncle Wei?"

After the little girl finished speaking, she stared at Zhixia with her big eyes and asked.

Jiang Zhixia couldn't laugh or cry.

"No. My sister doesn't want to get married, and Aunt Li doesn't want to talk about kissing either. Niuniu's mother and grandma think too much. Niuniu doesn't need to care about it, and don't talk about it outside. " Zhixia still exhorted softly.

"Enn. Niuniu didn't tell anyone else, she just told her sister secretly. Thank you sister for the snack." Seeing the answer to the question and satisfying her curiosity, Niuniu ran back shyly with the snack.

Jiang Zhixia saw Niuniu running away, smiled and shook his head and stood up.When she turned around to go home, she saw Chu Tiankuo standing at the door of Chu Mufeng.

Zhixia was taken aback for a moment, afraid that he would hear what she said to Niuniu, and then looked at the distance between the two doors, feeling relieved.It's so far away, you shouldn't be able to hear it.

Seeing that Jiang Zhixia had found him, Chu Tiankuo saluted her.

Jiang Zhixia quickly returned a salute.

After each saluted, Zhixia was hesitating whether to enter the door directly, but seeing Chu Tiankuo walking towards her directly, Zhixia had no choice but to stand still.

"I haven't seen you for a while, how is Miss Jiang?" Chu Tiankuo greeted first.

"It's okay. Is Young Master Chu Xiumu?" Zhixia had no choice but to reply.

"Yes. The army is not busy these days, so there are more days to go out. I heard that Mu Feng was drunk yesterday, so I came to have a look." Chu Tiankuo explained, and then he probably wanted to laugh, But after being on the battlefield for many years, his face became stiffer, and he just pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, Big Brother Chu is eager for justice. I heard that Big Brother Wei and the others failed the ranking, so I explained it a bit." Zhixia complimented a few words, but felt that there was nothing more to say, so she wanted to say goodbye and leave.

Chu Tiankuo's mouth squirmed, but he didn't say anything.Just watched Zhixia turn and enter the door.

Jiang Zhixia, who turned around and entered the door, could still feel the eyes behind her staring at her all the time, which felt a bit strange.

However, Zhixia thought about it and didn't expect anything special, so she let it go.
