Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 231

"Mr. Mao, can you tell me about the fun and delicious food in Yangzhou?" Tong Jia said, "It's boring to stand around, let sister Chen and I also gain knowledge."

"That's right, cousin, let's hear it." Chen Ruzhu said.

She thought that if she really married Mao Mingxuan one day, she would definitely go to Yangzhou.It's good to know in advance.

Mao Mingxuan couldn't refuse, so he started talking.

He grew up in Yangzhou City since he was a child, and he has good eloquence.Speaking of places to visit and famous snacks in Yangzhou City, it was so vivid that Chen Ruzhu and Tong Jiashi were fascinated by it.

"Master, there are still a few people ahead and it's our turn to offer incense. Are you going to call Mrs. Uncle and Mrs. Tong?" Xiao Huzi asked suddenly.

Mao Mingxuan paused, looked ahead, nodded and said, "You stand here with your cousin and Miss Tong for a while, I'll go over and invite you."

Chen Ruzhu and Tong Jiashi couldn't help but glance at the little tiger who interrupted Mao Mingxuan at the same time.

Little Huzi didn't realize that he had made a mistake, so he smiled at the two of them, and stood aside responsibly.

"Sister Chen, your cousin is so good! He really deserves to be the champion!" Tong Jia said with a bit of admiration.

"That's natural!" Chen Ruzhu also said with a look of admiration: "My cousin is good at learning, and he is very hardworking, otherwise he wouldn't have such a score as winning three yuan in a row!"

After a while, Mao Mingxuan led Mrs. Su and Mrs. Tong over.

Several people offered incense separately and went to draw lots.Seeing that Mao Mingxuan was standing by the side, Su said, "Mingxuan won't smoke one? Let's see what your future is like."

Mao Mingxuan shook his head and said, "I won't draw any more. The future depends on the emperor's decision, it cannot be determined by drawing lots."

A trace of displeasure flashed in Su's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "You are right."

Mrs. Tong said: "You can't say that. Naturally, the drawing of lots can't be used to determine what the emperor will decide, but you can see the fortune, so you have a good idea."

Mao Mingxuan smiled and did not refute.He didn't believe it, and it didn't work after smoking.

Seeing that Mrs. Tong didn't change her mind, she appreciated him even more.Only those who have their own opinions will have great prospects.

Chen Ruzhu and Tong Jiashi obediently went to draw lots.Then, together with Mrs. Su and Mrs. Tong, they waited for the release of the lottery.

"It's a pity that Master Fang Cun won't be in the capital in recent years." Madam Tong said.

"According to the little monk in the temple, Master Fang Cun said before he left that this time he might be traveling abroad for several years." Su Shi said.

Mao Mingxuan was slightly surprised.When Su Shi mentioned it before, he still felt it was exaggerated.But now Mrs. Tong also said that Master Fangcun is very powerful, it seems that this monk is really capable.

Although he does not believe in Buddhism, he also knows that some masters are not in vain.This reminded him of the monk who saved Mao Tongtong's life that year.

Er Niang has always said that she hopes to have the opportunity to meet this master, so that she can express her gratitude in person.I don't know if this master is still alive after a few years.If so, is there a chance to meet again?

After a few people finished untying their signatures, it was already time for lunch.Mrs. Tong invited Mrs. Su to have a fast meal at Guangji Temple.Su Shi thought that it would take another hour to go back to the mansion, so she nodded in agreement.

During the banquet, Chen Ruzhu was sitting next to Mao Mingxuan.Although at home, the two often eat at the same table.But now that there were outsiders at the table, Chen Ruzhu's mood was different.

Sitting across from the two of them, Mrs. Su saw her daughter's shy appearance and Mao Mingxuan's gentle appearance, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

It was already mid-March at this time, and Kangxi was preparing to go on a tour outside the Great Wall.Prior to this, these tributes in the imperial examination high school were also active in activities, trying to find a good official position for themselves.

"Mingxuan, you really don't need uncle to help you ask questions?" Uncle Chen asked Mao Mingxuan that day.

Although his official position is not high, after all he has stayed in the capital for many years, he still has some contacts.By relying on people to drag people, you can also find out some news.Although Mao Mingxuan won the first prize, he was appreciated by the emperor.But what if someone said something in the emperor's ear, which affected the future?It's always good to inquire ahead.

"Uncle, I have troubled you a lot." Mao Mingxuan said.He was very grateful to Uncle Chen for planning for him, but he really didn't think about it.

With Uncle Chen's connections, it might not be easy to find out any really useful information.It might cost a lot more.He didn't want Uncle Chen to spend money.

"Actually, you can find someone else." Uncle Chen said.

Mao Mingxuan knew that Uncle Chen was talking about Ba Ye!

This kind of relationship was the last thing Mao Mingxuan wanted to use.

It's not that he is hypocritical, he seems to mind relying on his sister's nepotism.He didn't want to wait until Ba Ye treated his sister badly in the future, and he didn't have enough confidence to stand up and protect her!

"No need, uncle." Mao Mingxuan shook his head and said, "When I went to see Tongtong last time, Lord Belle didn't mention this matter. Now I have to come here to look for it, so I don't seem to be interested."

"Hey, you!" Uncle Chen sighed, "You should have mentioned it last time. With Ba Ye's help, this matter will be much easier!"

Mao Mingxuan thought about Ba Ye's reminder last time, smiled and said nothing.Ba Ye might not want to help, but he obviously had his own considerations, so he didn't ask.And why should he embarrass Ba Ye.

"If you are thrown into the Imperial Academy, your hard work will be in vain." Uncle Chen said.

The Imperial Academy is a poor government office with no real power, so it is only suitable for those who are dedicated to learning.Anyone who wants to make a difference in the officialdom will not be willing to go to the Hanlin Academy.

"That depends on my luck." Mao Mingxuan laughed.

"You can think about it." Uncle Chen said with a smile.

"Uncle, it's because I can't escape, not because I can't ask for it." Mao Mingxuan said: "It's about these two days, and the dust will settle soon."

At Ba Ye's mansion, Mao Tongtong was packing his luggage.

Yesterday, Ba Ye came back and told Mao Tongtong that the departure time of this trip beyond the Great Wall was five days later.This was Mao Tongtong's first time traveling with Ba Ye, so he packed his things in advance.

The last time I went to Chengde, the journey was only a day or two away.This time, it will take more than half a month on the road.

"Qingzhu, don't you bring too many things?" Mao Tongtong looked at Qingzhu and Qingmiao packing up one thing and another, his head got a little big.

Although it's a long trip this time, isn't the pace of the move too exaggerated?

"Ge Ge, it's better to go out than to be in the mansion. Besides, Mongolia is full of grasslands, but it's not as prosperous as the capital. If there are really any shortcomings, I'm afraid it's hard to buy them temporarily. We'd better be prepared." Qingzhu returned road.

"Okay, look at the belt." Mao Tongtong decided to compromise and let them go.It's just that when I think of leaving the capital for more than a month and missing the farewell to Mao Mingxuan, I feel a little uncomfortable.
