Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 81
On the second day, officials from the prefectural government beat gongs and drums to present the Celebration List, which was the certificate leading to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, and Wang Xiu obtained the qualification for the Ministry of Rites Examination next year.Of course, the rosters of these candidates will be sent to the Ministry of Rites for record, as the main certificate for participating in the Ministry of Rites examination.

As the number one in the test, Wang Xiu was naturally received by Zhang Bangchang. This was not the randomness of having a drink last time, but a very grand reception.Wang Xiu was also well-founded, and Zhang Bangchang, Tong Pan and others appreciated his ease of advance and retreat. Naturally, the state government hosted a banquet for all the tributes, and everyone expressed their joy.

For Wang Xiu, Zhu Rong and Gao Xuan were just farts, if you let it go, let it go, there is nothing to reminisce about, but Zhang Qiyuan gave him quite a headache, and this guy got closer to him.

Fortunately, he dragged on for a day, Zhang Qiyuan couldn't hold back the other scholars from Shangshui County, so he had to set off with them.

Although, He Wei became a Gong Juren, but his mentality was settled within a day, and he did not get carried away just because he successfully passed the test. He deliberately distanced himself from Wang Xiu, and still accompanied Wang Xiu cautiously, doing his part well. matter.

It has to be said that He Laodao is a veteran. In He Laodao's calculations, Wang Xiu has made amazing achievements in a short period of time. Although he is not a person who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, he is also the only genius he has ever seen.Coupled with Shen Mo's emphasis on Wang Xiu, he will never allow his son to do things that get carried away. Under his repeated enlightenment, He Wei puts his mind in a correct state after serious thinking.

There is also Wang Xiu's personality charm, which has a profound influence on He Wei, especially the character of respecting the old and caring for the young, which deeply influenced him and made him make the decision to follow Wang Xiu.

"Treasurer Zhu." When Wang Xiu was about to leave, Zhu Qianqian, accompanied by Zhu Rong, came to pay a visit and brought a generous gift.

50 taels of Zuse official silver, twenty pieces of Sichuan brocade, ten pieces of colorful satin, and two catties of cotton. The gift is not too thin!Cotton alone is equivalent to half a year given by the Taizhong doctor.

"The treasurer is too polite. How dare I accept such a generous gift." Wang Xiu had a headache for a while. thing.

Zhu Qianxi chuckled and said, "This is not a gift from me, but an order from the young proprietor."

"Oh." Wang Xiu was taken aback, but she didn't want Shen Mo to do it, and couldn't help saying: "Brother Zhi is far away in Tokyo, but he doesn't know what's going on."

With a plump face like a Maitreya Buddha, Zhu Qianqian took out a letter from his sleeve and said with a smile, "Young master entrusted the stage horse to send it here on a special trip. It just arrived last night."

Wang Xiu took it and didn't look at it, but asked Zong Liang to serve tea, and asked Zhu's father and son to sit down, so that He Wei would be there to accompany him.

"This is the property that the young proprietor specifically ordered me to withdraw from the branch. I think the copper coins are too heavy, so I exchanged them for silver and silk." Zhu Qianxi laughed.

Wang Xiu only opened the letter and glanced at it when serving tea, and there were only a few words on it: "Big works are selling well, paper is expensive in Kaifeng, in February next year, Baifanlou and you will have a good talk."

This guy was quite loyal, he put away the letter, and said with a faint smile: "In that case, thank you, big shopkeeper."

Zhu Qianqian smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated the little official yet."

"It's just a solution to Tokyo. Why do you like it? If the Minister of Rites is taken down, it will be nothing but joy." When Wang Xiu was speaking, she glanced at Zhu Rong, but saw the corner of the guy's mouth twitch. , seems very unconvinced.He was well aware of Zhu Qianqian's reason for coming, not only did he follow Shen Mo's order, but he also intended to befriend him. It's a pity that Zhu Rong, a poor dude, might have to let down his father's painstaking efforts.

Zhu Qianqian sighed, took a hard look at his son, and said disappointedly: "If the dog has the literary talent of a small official, I will feel at ease."

Wang Xiu smiled and said nothing, but He Wei frowned, and said humorously: "Brother, what you lose is not your literary talents, but your luck. In the coming year, you will definitely send a tribute."

The corners of Zhu Rong's mouth twitched, and he cursed secretly, but he also had a little comfort in his heart. Normally, he and Wanqiu's gang of dudes, although they were looked down upon by Gao Xuan and other scholars, they also claimed to be romantic and talented. They ate together yesterday and lamented Unlucky, someone else got fucked.

After He Wei spoke, Wang Xiu smiled playfully and said, "Not bad."

Zhu Qianqian was a little embarrassed, he still didn't know what kind of a son his son was, and bringing Zhu Rong here was to ease the relationship. It would be even better if his son could form a good relationship with Wang Xiu and He Wei, and become friends.He smiled immediately and said, "In a few days, shopkeeper He will come to Wanqiu. I wonder if the little official can come?"

He He chuckled and said, "When my lord father comes, I will go directly to Kaifeng and wait for the examination by the Ministry of Rites. However, Uncle Zhu Shi is going to be promoted, and my nephew congratulates first."

Zhu Qianqian shook his head and said: "It's just going to the main store to do odd jobs." In other words, the branch store is definitely not comparable to the main store, which is the world of flowers in Kaifeng!Even the five branches inside and outside the city of Kaifeng are not comparable to the branches outside Jiwai.

But Wang Xiu became a little interested, and said: "The treasurer has gone to Kaifeng, so brother Zhu is going to take part in the examination in Kaifeng. It's good, Kaifeng mansion recruits more scholars every year, and there are many opportunities."

What he said, isn't that the shivering person!However, to Zhu Qianxie's ears, it felt different. With more scholars, his son's chances would increase a lot, but he never thought that Kaifeng Mansion is full of talents!
Zhu Rong finally had a smile on his face, and he became a little complacent, Kaifeng is a world of flowers!

"By the way, since the petty officials are going back to their hometowns, I can't keep them. I will see them off at Huixuan Building in the evening." Since Wang Xiu and He Wei are going to Kaifeng, there will be a long time to come!It would be nice to have a good relationship and say hello to Shen Mo in front of Shen Mo. It would be great if he could become the big shopkeeper of the branch in Kaifeng City.

He Wei frowned slightly, and turned his eyes to Wang Xiu. To be honest, he really didn't want to get too involved with the Zhu family and his son.

But Wang Xiu chuckled and said with a smile: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. When we arrive in Kaifeng in the future, we must disturb the shopkeeper."

Zhu Qianqian was overjoyed, Wang Xiu was on the road like this, it was great to talk to smart people, and he said what he had to say, so he got up and left immediately.

After the Zhu family's father and son left, Wang Xiu picked up a piece of official silver to appreciate, thinking of the difficult years, and sighed a long time, this is a full-color official silver!

He Wei said unhappily: "Zhu Qianxi is hypocritical, and Zhu Rong harbors resentment."

Wang Xiu raised her brows, dropped the official money, and said playfully: "It's just human nature, we have so many things, we can't hire a car ourselves!"

He Wei was startled, but immediately understood, pointed at Wang Xiu and laughed loudly, "You are so kind."

"Honestness is used on old adults." A sly smile flashed on the corner of Wang Xiu's mouth.

In Shangshui County Chengbei Dajie’s shop, Wang Qingzhu was directing the servants to clean the shop inside and out, with Qin Moyan helping at the side, he said with a smile: “Big sister, it’s too wasteful to just sell sugar in such a big shop.” .”

"Go and have a rest." Wang Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, dragged Youqin Moyan to the small courtyard, and said, "Sister, what do you think?"

"What ideas can I have, it's nothing more than running some groceries." Youqin Moyan was a little embarrassed.

Wang Qingzhu raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "It is certain to operate groceries, but I think it must have its own characteristics. The most important thing is the quality, but if there is a chance, it would be the best to open the business in Kaifeng."

"Kaifeng?" Youqin Moyan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Sister, it will take a few years."

Wang Qingzhu's face was full, and she said resolutely: "Sister, if you still don't believe me, I will make an oath that I will live a good life for myself in this life. We women can never let men control our fate."

"Ah!" Youqin Moyan pursed her lips and looked at Wang Qingzhu in surprise.

Wang Qingzhu smiled, and said mysteriously: "This is what the elder brother said."

"Brother said it." Youqin Mo Yan looked surprised.

"That's right!" Wang Qingzhu seemed to have thought of something, she leaned into Youqin Moyan's ear, and said with a soft smile: "When eldest brother comes back, you should also get married."

"Big sister." Youqin Mo Yan blushed thoroughly, stomped her feet, turned around and ran out.

"This girl has a rather thin face." Wang Qingzhu looked at Qin Moyan's back with a smile, but found that the servant Lu Yao was sneaking around, and immediately shouted with a straight face: "Lu Xiaoliu, hurry up and go to work." , looking for a fight!"
