Fair Lady

September is clear and high, the blue sky is like washing, the blue is high and far away, and the hot air is blown away by the slightest autumn wind.

September is golden, and slices of gold come into people's eyes one after another, even the clear stream at dusk ends, reflecting the golden color.

September is the harvest season, and the faces of everyone in the two princes' mansions are full of laughter, and the good news comes one after another.

The whole capital is talking about Xia Shuwen, the second master of the Two Marquis's Mansion, who won both the literary and martial arts examinations in the autumn examination, and even defeated Yayuan in only [-] strokes in the martial arts examination (everyone disagreed) What I know is that if it wasn’t for Shujie’s repeated instructions not to embarrass people too much, there would definitely not be more than ten tricks).

Several popular candidates for this imperial examination suddenly had the urge to "hold their hands and look at their tears". The three brothers and sisters of the Xia family are all unique and wonderful. How could they be so unlucky to run into the same class as Xia Shuwen?It wasn't that they discouraged themselves, but they had an intuition that Xia Shuwen had a tendency to win three yuan in a row, no, it should be four yuan in a row, and he was the top case in the examination for talents.

In the imperial palace and the imperial study room, the emperor was flipping through the materials of various civil examinations and Jieyuan, and laughed at Jin Xida who was drinking tea at the side: "It's a pity that your two princes' mansions will be small in the future. No matter how promising you are, you still need one." Ten years, otherwise why would I worry about not having enough talents?"

The corners of Jin Xida's eyes trembled: "Your Majesty, please let me know first, so that your old man will not be angry at that time. Chen and Shujie agreed to Wen'er, as long as he can be named on the gold list, it is up to him whether he enters the official or not, and we will not interfere any more. He chooses what he likes to do. That boy, uh, seems to be out of his mind. He said that his favorite thing to do is to earn money and count money, so he aspires to be a big imperial merchant. The old man is fighting for the position of the richest man in Dazhou."

Dafuzi's father-in-law standing next to him shook his hand, and Buddha dust almost fell to the ground, "My favorite thing to do is to earn money and count money"?This Second Master Xia's ambition is also... er... Would it be too vulgar and philistine?besides.Do you want to be so direct?Although no one will really dislike silver.

Jin Xida took a careful look at the emperor, and continued: "Your majesty, that kid Wen'er was grown up under your watch. Although he is a little clever, his temperament is really not suitable for court."

The emperor suddenly thought of something when Jin Xida uttered the "big ambition" of the book.I dug out the book Wenqiu and read the article again.It was a policy paper on how the imperial court should further revitalize the economy and enrich the treasury.

The book expounded a new point of view in it: the main income of the imperial court now depends on taxes, but in fact the imperial court can also do business, mainly those industries with large investment, high risk, and of course, high profit. Can cooperate with merchants.This not only supports merchants who have the ability to do business but has no powerful backing, but also brings more benefits to the court.Enrich the treasury and strengthen the military.At the same time, it can also avoid the monopoly of the big family.Avoid the economic lifeline of Da Zhou being in the hands of a few big families.

Fingers tapped on the article for a long time, just when Jin Xida felt a little uncertain about the emperor's attitude, a thousand-year-old fox-like smile flashed across the emperor's face, and he said: "It's okay, I don't want to force the article, that kid has been writing since he was a child." He’s smart and has a personality, but he’s not beautiful when he’s tied down. He likes to play with money. Let’s let him play with money, hahaha.”

So easy to talk to?Jin Xida vaguely felt something was wrong.But he still hurriedly said: "Chen Dai Wen'er thanked the emperor first."

The emperor waved his hand: "Don't thank me too early, I have conditions. But, hehe, wait until that kid has the ability to get a title on the gold list."

condition?What conditions?Jin Xida was stunned, how would the emperor embarrass Shuwen?He knew that there must be something wrong when the emperor talks too easily.However, the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not limit that the title of the gold list must be an official in the court. In the early years, there was a senior who had no intention of being an official. After being ranked second in high school, he returned to his hometown to run a school.He took the scientific examination just to prove that he has enough talent and qualifications to run an academy and train students.This academy is the most famous Lushan Academy in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, the emperor Jinkou has already opened, Jin Xida can't say anything more, isn't it time yet?It's useless to say anything.

The emperor didn't have time to pay attention to Jin Xida's entanglement, he was very excited at the moment, a lot of ideas came up, um, we need to organize it well, and after the kid in Shuwen finished his exams, he would catch up and discuss it.

That kid wants to be the richest man in the big week?No problem, he can even give his best support.The premise is that at the same time, the treasury of the Great Zhou must be filled up, so that it can be done by making a great contribution to the prosperity and strength of the Great Zhou.

The emperor did not think that Shuwen's ambition of "becoming the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty" was just a child's heart, so ambitious.Jin Xida and Shujie did not earn the current money of the Lianghou Mansion.Those two Marquis, who can be called his right-hand men, are not talented in earning money in this world.For example, how much money did the little ice hockey earn for the Two Marquis Mansion?Those two couldn't think of such an idea even if they broke their heads.

As far as the emperor knows, the property of the two marquis mansions, even including the dowry property of the old lady, Mo Niang, and Nan Gongmiao, are all managed by Shuwen.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that his sudden plan was too wonderful.Uh, he was originally a wise man, so he naturally knew how to use his talents according to his talents.That boy Shuwen has used it well, and if he can't make it work, he will end up with a bunch of old guys in the transfer department who only know that they are poor and want money in a few years!

Shuwen, who was calculated and didn't know it, was studying in his study room. Suddenly, he sneezed three times in a row. He was so shocked that he rushed over and closed a window facing Shuwen, muttering: " It's strange, and there is no wind. In this season, the night is cooler, but the daytime is fine!" What's even more strange is that their second master can't sneeze a few times throughout the year, okay?

His train of thought was interrupted, Shuwen simply put down the book, got up and walked around the yard.Motivated was happy to relax with his master, and talked about gossip: "Second Master, you don't know, there are a lot of visitors in the house these days, and they all come to talk to the old lady, madam, and grandma."

"Speaking of words? What are you talking about?" Shuwen wondered, "Who is it that rumors that foster father and elder brother have fallen out of favor?"

Motivated and pouted: "How is it possible? What's the matter that makes these people so excited now? Naturally, it's your marriage."

"Cut," Shuwen blushed shyly, and punched Jinjin, "my adoptive father and elder brother have already said that we won't talk about this until after I finish my science exam." , he is not yet 16 years old, and he has a lot of things to do, such as discussing and getting married, the distance is so far away, okay?He hadn't thought about it yet.

But, uh, if there is a woman he likes and also likes him to accompany him in the future, just like a big brother and sister-in-law, that would be nice.

But what kind of woman does he like?Shuwen was worried. Apart from his family, he hadn't had much contact with girls outside.Uh, anyway, it must not be like Xu Binger from the Xu family in Yulin who jumped into the pond by herself and then asked her elder brother to save her, or Shi Juan from Pei's son-in-law's house.

You can't blame Shuwen for directly using these two people as a negative example. When Xu Binger wanted to rely on Shujie, he gave too much bad impression to the young Shuwen.There is also Shi Juan who is like a little white flower. Over the years, every time Shuwen went to visit Princess Zhangzhu's mansion, he would always "encounter" that delicate face at the door, blushing when she was doing well, and crying like tears Shi Juan.

I don't know how Shi Juan knew about his visit, but she always came just in time, and she kept saying that "there is no way to repay a great kindness".Hmph, he doesn't want her to repay his favor, just don't bother him all the time.Since he likes to blush and be shy so much, he shouldn't stop him from talking at the gate of the princess mansion all the time!

Later, Shuwen couldn't bear it any longer, and euphemistically said to Shi Jing once, "Don't worry about raising a hand" and "Don't ruin Miss Shi's reputation."Shi Jing blushed, embarrassingly reassured that such a thing would not happen again.

I don't know how Shi Jing educated his sister, but fortunately, after Shuwen went to Princess Zhangzhu's mansion, he finally didn't have to face the little white flower's "gratitude".

A good girl should be as generous and courteous as her sister and sister-in-law, and she should be really lively and charming like the fourth princess and Princess Yuegui, right?But there are quite a few girls who like to pretend to be shy even though their eyeballs are rolling wildly;

Shuwen curled his lips contemptuously, shook his head, and was about to go back to the study to continue his study, when he ran in like a gust of wind: "Second Master, the good news is that the Turks signed the instrument of surrender and the armistice agreement. You have done a great job, I heard that the emperor named the second uncle as a first-rank marshal."

"Really? Is the second uncle going back to Beijing to thank you?" Shuwen asked excitedly. In addition to being "the number one scholar", Shuwen had a dream of being a general since he was a child. hero.

"Ah? I don't know," Tong Jin patted his head embarrassingly, "It was the old general who sent someone to announce the good news. The slave ran back to tell you when he heard this. Hehe, the slave will ask again?"

Shuwen shook his head amusedly: "No need, it will be dinner time soon." The foster father and eldest brother will definitely explain in detail at that time.

Sure enough, Jin Xida and Shujie also looked happy when they came back. Shujie said with a smile: "The two princes of Turkic will go to Beijing to worship, and the second uncle will also return to Beijing to thank you. There are also several generals who have made great achievements. By the way, sir Strong is in it."

"Wow, brother Daqiang is amazing. He used to be so thin and small. Who would have thought that he is now a majestic general?" After all, he was an old acquaintance when he was a child. Grandfather Zhuangzi went there and told Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu to make them happy first." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
