The reborn abandoned woman reigns
Chapter 68 1 Blockbuster
Chapter 68 A Blockbuster
Seeing that everyone was looking at Han Wanxin in astonishment, Changsun Jingrong said slowly: "The Empress is usually dignified and charming, and she mostly dresses in this style. And the Empress Dowager said that this time on Wan'an Eve, we should Let the emperor see a different empress, and the minnv thought about completely abandoning the old Chen Si, and instead brought out the empress's soft figure and sweet smile, so that everyone could know that the empress empress is not just Long Ruiguo. The most noble woman in the world is also the most admirable and happiest woman! No matter what kind of wind and rain you encounter temporarily, you are preparing for the phoenix's nirvana in the future!"
Changsun Jingrong's words really touched the Empress Dowager's heart. She looked at the costume with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Well, that's right, Wanxin, what do you think?"
"I like it very much, too!" Han Wanxin walked to the standing mirror, looked at herself carefully, and said, "This is the first time that I have seen such a gorgeous dress, it looks slender and fluttering. Compared with the stupid clothes of the past, those things can be thrown away!"
Receiving this expected praise, Changsun Jingrong slightly hooked his lips, and then said: "This Chinese dress is not yet finished, and women will embroider patterns with gold silk on the hem of the skirt, and the queen's empress will wear a Chinese dress." Wearing clothes is like being in a sea of flowers, showing the unique beauty of the empress."
Han Wanxin looked forward to the description of the eldest grandson's mirror appearance, and reluctantly took a few more photos in front of the mirror before returning to the screen and taking off her fine clothes.
"We are very satisfied with your performance."
Hearing the empress dowager's praise, Changsun Jingrong leaned over and said, "I am deeply terrified to be able to enter the eyes of the empress dowager."
"According to the previous agreement, I will give you a part of the deposit today. Ah Chang, go and get the gold."
gold...
Because the negotiations had been verbal before, the eldest grandson Jingrong didn't know how much reward he would get.But at this moment, the Empress Dowager's mouth was gold, which made her raise her eyebrows.
Aunt Chang brought the palm-sized box and opened it in front of Changsun Jingrong. The golden gold inside was far beyond Changsun Jingrong's expectation.
The corners of his lips curled up faintly, Changsun Jingrong reached out to take the box, kowtowed and said: "Thank you, the Empress Dowager, for the reward!"
"As long as you do well, there will be more gold, silver and jewelry rewards for you."
Holding the heavy box in his arms, the eldest grandson Jingrong slowly raised his eyes, looked straight at the Empress Dowager, and said sincerely: "Actually, this money is already enough to buy this fancy dress for a civilian girl, and the rest is not enough. It is also possible to give. However, Minnv has an unfeeling request today, and I hope the Empress Dowager will fulfill it."
Looking at the wise and condensed eyes of the eldest grandson Jingrong, the Empress Dowager seemed to see herself when she was young, proud and brave, as if there was nothing in the world that she could not do.
With a sigh of memory in her heart, the Empress Dowager said: "If you have any requirements, please tell me first."
Hearing this, Changsun Jingrong's complexion gradually became solemn, and he said slowly: "Everyone in the world knows that women who are businessmen will be underestimated or favored, and even rumors and malicious slanders will spread. But in the world, Is there any woman who is willing to travel around and do what men do? Isn’t it because the situation forces women to take responsibility? In this case, women often have to take on more in order to have a foothold in the business world .In fact, what they want is not much, but the health of their families and food and clothing. But such small wishes are sometimes elusive. A sense of helplessness. Therefore, the Minnv dared to get a gold plaque nominated by the empress herself, and let the Minnv put it in the shop for self-encouragement!"
Han Wanxin had just walked out from behind the screen, and happened to hear these words, and immediately said: "It's not difficult, it's just memorizing words. You go and get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I can finish writing now."
"Wanxin is really impatient," the Empress Dowager said calmly, "We'll wait until the costumes are ready before we talk about it."
The eldest grandson Jingrong knew the empress dowager's worries, so he said immediately: "It's the daughter of the people who is impatient. I ask the empress dowager and empress to forgive me."
"What you mentioned is not a difficult task in the first place, but it's better to do the things in front of you first, and it's not too late to talk about the rest after the Wan'an Festival."
"Yes, Minnv has been educated."
"Okay, it's getting late today, so you should go back first."
"Yes."
Bending down and bowing down to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, Changsun Jingrong slowly exited the palace.
As soon as the eldest grandson Jingrong left, Han Wanxin sat beside the Empress Dowager, pouted and said, "Grandma, just write her a few words first, I feel that the clothes are really well made, and I don't think so." I want to reward you with something else."
Looking at Han Wanxin's delicate and flowery face, the Empress Dowager smiled gently and said, "The matter is not over yet, so you don't have to be happy so early. When everything is settled, Aijia will be fine if you want to reward her." won't stop you."
Han Wanxin heard other meanings in the words, so she asked, "Is the emperor's grandmother thinking that this matter can change?"
The Empress Dowager looked at Han Wanxin, but smiled and said nothing.
In order to be able to devote himself to preparing the fancy clothes, Changsun Jingrong handed over two silk and satin factories to Qin Li to take care of, Qiao Ruilin assisted him, while he devoted himself to embroidery all day long in the other courtyard of Changsun's mansion.
And just when Changsun Jingrong wanted to hide away, Changsun Zhentian decided to hand over all the business in his hands to Changsun Jingrong.
Hurrying back to Changsun's mansion, Changsun Jingrong looked at Changsun Zhentian's dodging eyes, and asked coldly, "Daddy should know that daughter is very busy recently, why did he rush to hand over the business to daughter at this time?"
"Jingrong, daddy also knows that you are busy, but didn't you agree a few days ago, daddy is old now, his brain is not flexible, and he wants you to take care of the business in the shop. Dad believes in you, with your strength, It will definitely make our business more prosperous.”
Ruoyou listened to Changsun Zhentian's words, Changsun Jingrong flipped through the account books of various shops on the table, pretending to be casual and asked: "Daddy, why is there no land deed here?"
"Those properties don't need to be taken care of, just wait for the rent to be collected. Dad doesn't want to think about it, can it save you trouble. If it's such a small matter, Dad can still do it."
"It's just looking for someone to collect the rent. Anyway, my daughter has already taken over the business, so she still cares about the errands? Besides, it's fine to leave it to the people below. Since Dad finds it troublesome, just leave it to the daughter."
After hearing this, Changsun Zhentian hesitated, but still refused to mention the land deed.
Arms crossed his chest, Changsun Jingrong narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Daddy seems to have other concerns, didn't you, someone asked you to do this?" His tone paused, Changsun Jingrong's voice dropped slightly, and said, "But Aunt Jiao?"
"Where does she have the guts?" Changsun Zhentian said anxiously, "Your uncle and the others came and said that you are very smart in business, and just leave all the business to you. They won't come to me in the future. What matter, just discuss it with you directly. Dad thinks that you have worked hard recently and want to spend some time, talking about this matter, but they seem to be very anxious, saying that the business will only lose money in my hands, so it is better to pay it early Here it is, so I can make money earlier. Father originally wanted to help you find a few more capable assistants, and then hand over the business to you, but he didn't want to be caught off guard by these changes now."
With his eyes fixed, the eldest grandson Jingrong asked: "Did uncle and the others say anything else? It's impossible to just ask Dad to give me the shop, that would be too inexplicable."
"This... Daddy doesn't even know."
After contemplating for a moment, Changsun Jingrong looked at Changsun Zhentian again, and asked sideways: "Uncle and the others made such an arrangement, and Daddy agreed? Daddy said that my daughter is very busy recently, why did she agree?"
Touching his head in embarrassment, the eldest grandson Zhentian said: "Although your uncle and the others are a bit powerful, they are actually right about this matter. You are smart and smart, and I will hand over the business to you earlier, our eldest grandson Your family will benefit earlier. You have already emerged in the business world of the capital and have established your own reputation. More shops under your name will also strengthen your strength. And these shops are only for you in name. The old man will continue to stay. They have all worked for the eldest grandson's family for many years, and they can support the store, so you don't need to worry about it."
Looking at the eldest grandson, Changsun Zhentian, who spoke righteously, the eldest grandson Jingrong was very helpless.She knew that her father was weak, but she didn't know that after tasting the feeling that someone could be relied on, she would let go of him.And the uncle and the others, what do they mean?It's fine, why did you ask your father to withdraw?As for those land deeds, the eldest grandson Jingrong also probably knew that Aunt Jiao was against it, and she persuaded her father to keep them for her son.
Picking up the account book, Changsun Jingrong accepted Changsun Zhentian's arrangement, but this did not mean that she could only accept it passively.If the uncle and the uncle could guard their property and live in peace and stability, the eldest grandson Jingrong would not do anything to them.But if you're still thinking about it and trying to get something, don't blame her for being cruel!
As the heat subsides, autumn is slowly approaching, and at this time, it is time for the three-yearly imperial examination in Longrui Kingdom.The educated young people of Longrui Kingdom all gathered in the capital, gearing up, preparing to show off their skills in the imperial examinations and open up their own world.
In the early morning of the first day of the imperial examination, Xu Zizheng packed up the four treasures of the study, took some dry food, and prepared to go out.As soon as he opened the door, Xu Zizheng saw Mrs. Xu standing outside the door.
Xu Zizheng was surprised for a moment, and asked, "Mother, why did you get up so early today?"
Turning around slowly, Mrs. Xu stared at Xu Zizheng closely, and said after a while: "Son, you have worked so hard for so long, just for today, this year's imperial examination, you must go to high school!"
Xu Zizheng heard the same words countless times, but he couldn't show any irritability and could only respond with a smile.
"Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely go all out to shine on the family!"
Patting Xu Zizheng on the shoulder with satisfaction, old man Xu took out a dozen copper coins from his sleeve, handed them to him, and said, "The money was saved by my mother a while ago. During lunch break, I bought some delicious food outside." Yes, more tonic and tonic."
Holding the warm coin, Xu Zizheng felt indescribably sad.The money was earned by his mother stitch by stitch, and it was hard work, needless to say.In order to allow herself to go to Beijing for the exam, her mother sold the only property in her hometown and came all the way to the capital.In order to prepare herself well for the imperial examination, my mother did not let me go out to make money, and only relied on her hands to mend clothes for others.It's not easy to have enough food for three meals, so how can Xu Zizheng have the face to take over these copper coins?
With hot eyes, Xu Zizheng pushed the copper plate back, raised his head and said with a smile: "My son has already brought dry food with him, and he will be full with some water. Let mother keep the money to supplement the family."
"How can I do that? What if I eat badly? Now is not the time to be frugal." Mrs. Xu pushed the copper plate back and said, "If you still think of me as your mother, then Put it away quickly."
Seeing Mrs. Xu's insistence, Xu Zizheng had no choice but to take the copper plate, feeling a heavy hand.
When Xu Zizheng arrived at the Imperial Examination Institute, there were already many students standing outside, waiting to enter.
Standing at the end of the line, Xu Zizheng took out the roster with the official seal, waiting for the official's verification.After another quarter of an hour, adults in official uniforms stood in front of the gate of the Imperial Examination Institute and rang the gong to show that they were entering the arena.
Standing in the crowd, Xu Zizheng looked up at the plaque of the Imperial Examination Academy, and slowly clenched the copper plate in his palm, as if a fire was burning in his heart.
This is the place where he was reborn, and where he will change his destiny. He will never live like an ant all his life, and he will not let his mother stay up all night for a few copper coins.One day, he will also wear the nine-claw chi flying robe, stand in the palace hall, and become the emperor's right-hand man!
Heart agitated, Xu Zizheng walked slowly along with the crowd, a brand new door was slowly opening for him.
Sitting on the table by the window, the eldest grandson Jingrong leaned on his chin, looking aimlessly at the people coming and going below.
Seeing the "concentration" of the eldest grandson Jingrong, Bi He couldn't help but also looked over.And seeing this, Bihe couldn't help covering her lips and laughing, "It's really strange, how many of these people are there, dressed so strangely?"
After hearing this, Qiao Shan'er leaned against the window, looked carefully, and then said: "Those are from Miaojiang, and they like to wear cloth caps on their heads."
"Miaojiang people?" Bi He stretched out his hand and pointed to the back, and asked, "Where is the one with the white cap and white robe on his head?"
"Those are from the Chiyou clan."
Nodding thoughtfully, Bi He murmured, "It's so strange, what day is it today, so many foreigners will come to the capital."
"Silly girl, have you forgotten that today is the day of the imperial examination?" Qiao Shan'er poked Bihe and said with a smile, "Naturally, the most outstanding talents in the entire Longrui Kingdom are gathered here. People from all ethnic groups, You'll see it too. You haven't seen the Feihe people who just walked over there, their skin is as dark as sunburn."
Bihe heard the freshness, leaned out of the window quickly, looked left and right, and asked at the same time: "Where did you see it just now?"
But when Bihe leaned forward, she saw a familiar figure.
"Hey, isn't that Xu Zizheng?"
His eyes suddenly froze, and the eldest grandson Jingrong sat up straight, and nodded to Qiao Shaner who was opposite.
After being signaled, Qiao Shan'er turned around and ran out of the restaurant, stopping Xu Zizheng who had just walked out of the Imperial Examination Institute.After saying something, Qiao Shan'er pointed upwards, and Xu Zizheng was obviously taken aback when he saw the eldest grandson's mirror.
Nodding to Xu Zizheng with a smile, Xu Zizheng looked at that clean and pure smile, as if he suddenly lost his soul.When he came back to his senses again, he had already walked into the restaurant and sat opposite his eldest grandson Jingrong.
Looking at the ground annoyed, Xu Zizheng thought how could he sit here?Although he is very hungry now, with his current ability, he can't afford the expenses here, especially in front of his eldest grandson Jingrong, his lack of resources makes him very embarrassed.Feeling the temperature of those copper plates in his arms, Xu Zizheng just wanted to disappear from here immediately.
"Mr. Xu?" Seeing that Xu Zizheng hadn't spoken for a long time, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help calling out: "Why haven't I seen you for a few days, do you not know me?"
Looking at the petal-like beauty in front of him, how could Xu Zizheng forget?Ever since she was driven away by her mother that day, Xu Zizheng can't help but think of this unpredictable woman in his mind, which is unpredictable and unforgettable.It's just that today is not a good time for a reunion. He is stretched thin and dressed in shabby clothes. Sitting here, he looks out of place.
Squeezing his palms, Xu Zizheng lowered his eyebrows and said: "Originally, I should invite the girl to dinner, but today I really have something to do, I'm afraid I can't do it, another day, another day, I will be the host, invite the girl... ..."
"No matter what's going on, don't delay filling your stomach," Changsun Jingrong interrupted Xu Zizheng with a smile, and waved back, and the servants outside the door brought up exquisite dishes one after another and placed them on the table. on the table.
The fragrant smell penetrated into the nostrils, causing Xu Zizheng's index finger to twitch.And Changsun Jingrong's next words made him completely give up his plan to leave.
"Looking at the place where you just walked, you should also be taking part in this year's imperial examination. Come, let Jingrong replace the wine with tea, toast you a cup, and wish you a title on the gold list!"
Seeing that grandson Jingrong raised the cup, Xu Zizheng couldn't be rude to others, so he also picked up the tea bowl in front of him, touched it lightly, and then took a few sips.The sweet tea nourished his heart, coupled with the company of beauties, Xu Zizheng felt that this situation was like being in a dream.
But thinking of his own voice, Xu Zizheng put down his cup and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Seeing the change in Xu Zizheng's expression, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, my lord, but these dishes don't suit your appetite?"
"Where, how come, this is the best food I have ever eaten in my life." Xu Zizheng twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, and lowered his head and said, "I came from a poor family, and I am not used to such fine clothes and fine food. It's a joke."

Seeing that everyone was looking at Han Wanxin in astonishment, Changsun Jingrong said slowly: "The Empress is usually dignified and charming, and she mostly dresses in this style. And the Empress Dowager said that this time on Wan'an Eve, we should Let the emperor see a different empress, and the minnv thought about completely abandoning the old Chen Si, and instead brought out the empress's soft figure and sweet smile, so that everyone could know that the empress empress is not just Long Ruiguo.

Changsun Jingrong's words really touched the Empress Dowager's heart. She looked at the costume with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Well, that's right, Wanxin, what do you think?"
"I like it very much, too!" Han Wanxin walked to the standing mirror, looked at herself carefully, and said, "This is the first time that I have seen such a gorgeous dress, it looks slender and fluttering. Compared with the stupid clothes of the past, those things can be thrown away!"

"We are very satisfied with your performance."
Hearing the empress dowager's praise, Changsun Jingrong leaned over and said, "I am deeply terrified to be able to enter the eyes of the empress dowager."
"According to the previous agreement, I will give you a part of the deposit today. Ah Chang, go and get the gold."

Because the negotiations had been verbal before, the eldest grandson Jingrong didn't know how much reward he would get.But at this moment, the Empress Dowager's mouth was gold, which made her raise her eyebrows.

Han Wanxin had just walked out from behind the screen, and happened to hear these words, and immediately said: "It's not difficult, it's just memorizing words. You go and get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I can finish writing now."
"Wanxin is really impatient," the Empress Dowager said calmly, "We'll wait until the costumes are ready before we talk about it."
The eldest grandson Jingrong knew the empress dowager's worries, so he said immediately: "It's the daughter of the people who is impatient. I ask the empress dowager and empress to forgive me."
"What you mentioned is not a difficult task in the first place, but it's better to do the things in front of you first, and it's not too late to talk about the rest after the Wan'an Festival."
"Yes, Minnv has been educated."
"Okay, it's getting late today, so you should go back first."
"Yes."
Bending down and bowing down to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, Changsun Jingrong slowly exited the palace.
As soon as the eldest grandson Jingrong left, Han Wanxin sat beside the Empress Dowager, pouted and said, "Grandma, just write her a few words first, I feel that the clothes are really well made, and I don't think so." I want to reward you with something else."

As the heat subsides, autumn is slowly approaching, and at this time, it is time for the three-yearly imperial examination in Longrui Kingdom.The educated young people of Longrui Kingdom all gathered in the capital, gearing up, preparing to show off their skills in the imperial examinations and open up their own world.

"Miaojiang people?" Bi He stretched out his hand and pointed to the back, and asked, "Where is the one with the white cap and white robe on his head?"
"Those are from the Chiyou clan."
Nodding thoughtfully, Bi He murmured, "It's so strange, what day is it today, so many foreigners will come to the capital."
"Silly girl, have you forgotten that today is the day of the imperial examination?" Qiao Shan'er poked Bihe and said with a smile, "Naturally, the most outstanding talents in the entire Longrui Kingdom are gathered here. People from all ethnic groups, You'll see it too. You haven't seen the Feihe people who just walked over there, their skin is as dark as sunburn."
Bihe heard the freshness, leaned out of the window quickly, looked left and right, and asked at the same time: "Where did you see it just now?"
But when Bihe leaned forward, she saw a familiar figure.
"Hey, isn't that Xu Zizheng?"
His eyes suddenly froze, and the eldest grandson Jingrong sat up straight, and nodded to Qiao Shaner who was opposite.
After being signaled, Qiao Shan'er turned around and ran out of the restaurant, stopping Xu Zizheng who had just walked out of the Imperial Examination Institute.After saying something, Qiao Shan'er pointed upwards, and Xu Zizheng was obviously taken aback when he saw the eldest grandson's mirror.
Nodding to Xu Zizheng with a smile, Xu Zizheng looked at that clean and pure smile, as if he suddenly lost his soul.When he came back to his senses again, he had already walked into the restaurant and sat opposite his eldest grandson Jingrong.
Looking at the ground annoyed, Xu Zizheng thought how could he sit here?Although he is very hungry now, with his current ability, he can't afford the expenses here, especially in front of his eldest grandson Jingrong, his lack of resources makes him very embarrassed.Feeling the temperature of those copper plates in his arms, Xu Zizheng just wanted to disappear from here immediately.
"Mr. Xu?" Seeing that Xu Zizheng hadn't spoken for a long time, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help calling out: "Why haven't I seen you for a few days, do you not know me?"
Looking at the petal-like beauty in front of him, how could Xu Zizheng forget?Ever since she was driven away by her mother that day, Xu Zizheng can't help but think of this unpredictable woman in his mind, which is unpredictable and unforgettable.It's just that today is not a good time for a reunion. He is stretched thin and dressed in shabby clothes. Sitting here, he looks out of place.
Squeezing his palms, Xu Zizheng lowered his eyebrows and said: "Originally, I should invite the girl to dinner, but today I really have something to do, I'm afraid I can't do it, another day, another day, I will be the host, invite the girl... ..."
"No matter what's going on, don't delay filling your stomach," Changsun Jingrong interrupted Xu Zizheng with a smile, and waved back, and the servants outside the door brought up exquisite dishes one after another and placed them on the table. on the table.
The fragrant smell penetrated into the nostrils, causing Xu Zizheng's index finger to twitch.And Changsun Jingrong's next words made him completely give up his plan to leave.
"Looking at the place where you just walked, you should also be taking part in this year's imperial examination. Come, let Jingrong replace the wine with tea, toast you a cup, and wish you a title on the gold list!"
Seeing that grandson Jingrong raised the cup, Xu Zizheng couldn't be rude to others, so he also picked up the tea bowl in front of him, touched it lightly, and then took a few sips.The sweet tea nourished his heart, coupled with the company of beauties, Xu Zizheng felt that this situation was like being in a dream.
But thinking of his own voice, Xu Zizheng put down his cup and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Seeing the change in Xu Zizheng's expression, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, my lord, but these dishes don't suit your appetite?"
"Where, how come, this is the best food I have ever eaten in my life." Xu Zizheng twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, and lowered his head and said, "I came from a poor family, and I am not used to such fine clothes and fine food. It's a joke."
