"Jingxiu, wait, you can't leave your brothers alone." The voice of the scholar holding his belt was filled with tears.

"Hurry up, push your feet."

Zhen Jingxiu got on the carriage with the help of the coachman. Everyone respected him on weekdays, and he was really embarrassed to leave everyone and run alone.

He pulled the scholars to the shaft of the carriage while urging them loudly.

It is said that scholars are useless, and this is not without reason.

The more anxious the scholars were, the softer their feet became. Some of them just climbed halfway, but were pushed by their classmates behind them and slid down again.

Fortunately, the coachman's arms were strong. He quickly lifted everyone beside the carriage up with one hand each. The carriage was full of people, and there was no space left on the shaft.

"Brother, hurry up, run!" The scholars saw that the people surrounding them were getting closer and closer, and the scholar next to the coachman stretched out his hand to hug the coachman around the waist.

The driver: "..." The carriage was about to collapse, and it was useless to shout "Uncle".

The driver raised his whip and lashed out.

He was reluctant to whip the horse on weekdays, but seeing the carriage full of scholars turned pale with fear, he could only take a gamble.

Because there were too many people in the carriage, the horse tried its best but only moved a distance of ten feet before stopping.

Lin Xiangzhi was safe, and in order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, he looked at the list leisurely.

The first place on the list was written as Zhen Jingxiu, Su Jin was second, and then looked down.

Damn it!

He was the eighth.

When he wanted to find out if Xie Yunchen was on the list, he heard a panicked cry from behind him.

"Here they come, run, to the left."

Lin Xiangzhi looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the group of people who had just surrounded him were chasing a scholar in a blue robe.

The scholar ran desperately, and the hairband on his head fluttered in the morning breeze.

A carriage was full of people. Seeing that the scholar running on the ground was about to be caught up, some people shouted "Run faster" and some people laughed with gloating.

There were too many people in the carriage, and the carriage swayed for more than ten steps and then stopped moving.

The coachman waved the whip in his hand, and the servants were afraid of whipping themselves. They looked at the scholar in the carriage like prey but did not dare to approach.

The leader knew the carriage of Zhenfu. He waved his hand and pointed at the exhausted scholar, "That's it."

The servants surrounding the carriage retreated, and the scholar in the carriage was relieved.

The exhausted scholar saw that he had no way to retreat, so he simply sat down on the marble of the flower bed and gasped.

The servants were like a cat playing with a mouse, and they didn't rush to attack him when they saw him sit down.

The leader walked over and bowed to announce his family name.

The scholar swallowed his saliva and said, "I am at the bottom of the list and cannot be a high official. You can let me go and catch those at the top."

"My master will support you. What does it matter if I am at the bottom of the list? Please follow me, sir." The leader explained patiently.

"If your daughter is ugly, I will never obey her even if I die." The scholar gritted his teeth and stared at the person in front of him.

He is poor but not short-sighted. If he is asked to marry an ugly girl, he might as well go back to his hometown to farm.

The crisis was resolved, and the scholars jumped off the shaft to watch. Zhen Jingxiu, who was squeezed in the back of the carriage, took two deep breaths.

There were more than ten people squeezed in the carriage that could seat six people. Just now, two people were sitting on his lap, and he almost couldn't get away.

When the driver saw Zhen Jingxiu get off the carriage, he squatted down to check the body of the carriage.

Zhen Jingxiu asked the driver: "Is the body of the car crushed?"

"No, I heard a "crack" sound, but I didn't find any signs of fracture. I have to go back and turn the car over to check."

"Jingxiu, congratulations, it was a close call just now!" Lin Xiangzhi came over and patted Zhen Jingxiu on the shoulder and said.

Zhen Jingxiu said with lingering fear: "Yes, brother Lin, how did you convince them to let you go?"

"Hush! Go, this is not the place to talk." Lin Xiangzhi pulled Zhen Jingxiu's sleeve and turned to look at the group of people who were catching the son-in-law.

Hearing bursts of laughter from the scholars, someone shouted: "Hurry up and carry it back, you will be obedient after entering the bridal chamber."

"Young master, just give in, the young ladies of the Li family are all beautiful, and I envy you so much." The teasing voices came one after another.

"You, you are adding insult to injury..." The handsome face of the scholar was flushed, and the weak resistance made everyone laugh again.

Amid the noise of everyone's booing, the scholar was 'helped' to get on a luxurious carriage tied with red silk.

"Let's go find Su Jin and Xie Yunchen. They may be waiting for us outside." After the two discussed, Zhen Jingxiu told the driver to go back by himself, and he walked on the road he and Lin Xiangzhi used to go.

There was a lot of traffic in front of Juxian Pavilion, and people stopped and looked up from time to time.

"Everyone, look, Juxian Pavilion will open tomorrow, and you can get a 20% discount if you book the champion banquet."

Passersby looked up and saw the words "discount" posted in front of the restaurant.

There were big red lanterns hanging in front of the restaurant, and the handsome waiter was busy in the hall.

At this time, a waiter came back from the direction of the Imperial Examination Hall and walked quickly into the restaurant.

"How is it, is Su Jin's name on the list?" Nangong Zeyue asked hurriedly when he saw the waiter coming back.

The waiter walked too fast, his handsome face flushed, "Yes, Mr. Su is second on the list."

"As expected of a Jinshi's son, a tiger father will have a dog son." Nangong Zeyue turned around and went upstairs happily.

In the private room on the second floor, Jiang Shuyue was talking to a woman wearing a veil.

"Thank you for your help, with this job, Hongfu can finally escape from the sea of ​​suffering." The woman's voice was as sweet as a yellow warbler.

"Don't call me benefactor from now on, just call me Yueniang. From now on, you will support yourself based on your own ability."

Jiang Shuyue took out some music scores and handed them over, "This is the music score I compiled. You can practice tonight and just play the songs here tomorrow."

The restaurant originally reserved the storytelling program, but Jiang Shuyue thought that a storytelling program every day would be too monotonous. It would be more interesting to play a melodious song while everyone is dining.

Not long ago, a woman happened to come to the medical clinic for treatment, and Jiang Shuyue saw through her identity.

The woman's name is Hongfu. She was sold to Renyazi by her family when she was a child, and later she was sold to Yicui Tower.

The old bustard of Yicuilou saw that she was very beautiful before she had hair extensions, so he asked someone to teach her music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

You must know that brothel mothers are ruthless people who are only interested in profit. Many women fall into their hands and start "testing" at the age of thirteen.

There are also those that develop late and don’t ‘bloom’ until they are fourteen years old.

Hongfu is smart, good-looking, and a rare beauty in the brothel. The madam allows her to be an artist rather than a prostitute, and makes her the number one figure in Yicuilou.

When she got her haircut, the madam sold her first night at a high price and officially let her host customers.

After three years, Hong Fu finally contracted a heart disease. The madam asked her to receive guests even though she was sick. Fortunately, she was smart. Every time a guest came to her house, she truthfully said that she had a heart disease.

Seeing that she could no longer get any profit from her, the madam made her a rough servant to serve the girls in the building.

She heard people say that the female doctor at Jishi Hall had a wonderful rejuvenation effect, so she secretly went to Jishi Hall to give it a try.

With Jiang Shuyue's advice, she left Yicui Tower.

Thinking of the scene when she left Yicui Tower yesterday, Hong Fu still felt lingering fear.

While he was talking, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the wooden stairs. Hong Futeng shuddered and said in panic: "Is it possible that the madam regretted it?"
