Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tang Yaoyao, who became rich overnight, bought gifts for everyone, including her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xiaoyi and Xiaoru, and even Qing'er, who always opposed her.

Tang Ning also had a gift, of course. Tang Yaoyao gave him a box of good tea.

Tang Ning usually didn't drink much, and didn't know much about tea. He didn't know what Tang Yaoyao meant by giving him a box of tea. It would be better to give him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

This way he could build a better house and build an indoor swimming pool in the back. Summer is coming, just right to use it to escape the heat.

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked in confusion: "Swimming pool?"

Tang Ning nodded and said: "The weather will soon get hot. After you finish practicing, you can soak in the water. It's very comfortable."

Tang Yaoyao was somewhat moved by what he said and asked: "How to practice?"

"Give me 10,000 taels of silver, and I will take care of this matter."

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said uncertainly: "10,000 taels?"

"Five thousand taels is actually fine."

"Five thousand taels?"

"One thousand taels can't be less."

"Are you sure?"

"One hundred taels, less than one hundred taels, this thing can't be done."

Tang Yaoyao used to be stupid and stupid. Tang Ning was worried that if she continued to be stupid, the wealth that Mr. Tang had saved with great difficulty would be cheated away by others.

I don't know when she became smart. Not only did she have a unique vision and a way to make money, but she was not so easy to cheat.

Tang Yaoyao handed him a hundred taels of silver notes, and then asked, "Have you heard the rumors outside?"

"You mean that violent woman who beats people everywhere and will never get married?"

Tang Yaoyao's face darkened, and he said, "I'm talking about the Tang family!"

"What do the rumors about the Tang family have to do with me?" Tang Ning stood up and said, "I'll arrange for someone to dig a swimming pool..."

Although Tang Yaojing was smart, she didn't know that the hundred taels were enough to dig two swimming pools with some left over.

He took advantage of her nearly a million taels, and if he couldn't even take advantage of her dozens of taels, he would feel too aggrieved.

Tang Yaoyao watched him leave, with a trace of worry on her face.

The palace examination has ended, and the list has been posted, but this imperial examination has not yet ended successfully.

According to the practice of previous years, after the imperial examination, the court will hold a "Qionglin Banquet" for the newly promoted Jinshi. This ceremony has been passed down since the Song Dynasty. To this day, although the ritual system has changed greatly, the name has been passed down.

The date of the "Qionglin Banquet" is the third day after the palace examination results are posted. Now that the palace examination results have been posted for two days, there is still no news about when the banquet will be held.

This is because everyone in the court is worried about something bigger and more important than the Qionglin Banquet.

The Wanyan tribe of the Sushen people is about to complete the unification of the tribe. The civil and military officials are discussing how to deal with it. How can they think of holding a banquet? This matter has been put on hold.

In previous years, there were always some interesting things happening at the Qionglin Banquet. For a long time, it was the topic of conversation for the people of the capital.

However, the capital has never lacked new things, and there are always some things that can make the people talk about it with relish.

Compared with what happened in the distant grasslands, they are actually more interested in the gossip of the powerful officials in the capital.

Of course, the powerful people don’t have any big news every day. Recently, these new Jinshi are the focus of everyone’s attention.

This imperial examination, together with the new Jinshi, has too many unexpected things.

First of all, there are only two people in the first class. Everyone probably knows the inside story now. They just think that the new champion and Xiao Gongye are really sharp-sighted and are ahead of the court. Everyone is convinced of this result.

Interestingly, the Xiao family is a family of military generals, but according to the imperial examination convention, the first class of the palace examination must enter the Hanlin Academy. As the only heir of the Xiao family, Xiao Jue, the young master Xiao, is likely to become a civil servant...

Of course, although the Xiao family has declined and has few people, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, the Xiao family is a very special existence among the wealthy families in the capital. As long as His Majesty is still there, the Xiao family will be able to stand firm.

From this point of view, no matter which path Xiao Gongye will choose in the future, there will be no obstacles at least in the next ten years. Perhaps, the Xiao family, which is on the verge of decline, can be reborn in his hands.

Of course, although Gu Bai and Cui Lang are only ranked second, their future must be bright.

The Gu family passed down poetry and books, and there were people who served as university scholars from generation to generation. Although they had no real power in the court, they were respected and had a huge influence.

As for Cui Lang, everyone only knew that the Cui family was a big family in Jiangnan and Cui Lang was the champion in Jiangnan, but they didn't know that Cui Lang's uncle was the current minister of state and played an important role in the court.

In comparison, only the identity of the new champion was not impressive.

Even though he was the second champion who won three consecutive championships since the founding of the Chen State, he had no background and no backing.

Of course, this was just everyone's previous thoughts.

With the end of the palace examination, the identity of the new champion was gradually revealed.

No one thought that he was the abandoned child of the Tang family more than ten years ago. I'm afraid that even the Tang family did not expect that more than ten years later, the child they abandoned would create such glory in the capital.

There have been rumors in the market for two days, and the Tang family did not come forward to refute the rumors, allowing the rumors to spread. This is inconsistent with their usual behavior and further confirms the speculation.

"Unexpectedly, I thought that the new number one scholar was a counterattack by a poor student, but I didn't expect that he would have such an identity?"

"Why isn't this a counterattack by a poor family? The Tang family abandoned him early. What's the use of such an identity?"

"The Number One Scholar has stolen the limelight so far. I wonder if the Tang family will accept him again?"

…

While the people in the capital were discussing, in the palace, Chen Huang stood up, walked to the window, and looked out the window.

"Wei Jian." He suddenly said.

Eunuch Wei took a step forward and immediately said: "I'm here, old slave."

Chen Huang thought for a while and asked, "Do you think he will let me down this time?"

Eunuch Wei smiled and said: "Your Majesty has always been very accurate in judging people. The person your Majesty likes will naturally not disappoint you..."

Chen Huang smiled and said, "I hope so."

Tang family.

Tang Zhao looked livid, shook his head and said: "No, I won't go, whoever wants to go can go!"

Tang Qi looked at him with a stern face and said, "Your eldest brother is not in the capital. If you don't go, do you want me to go in person?"

Tang Zhao strode towards the door and said, "I don't care, I won't go anyway!"

"Stop!" Tang Qi said loudly, looked at him and said coldly: "If you don't go today, don't come back to this house!"

Outside the door, Tang Shui looked inside, then quickly exited and walked into another courtyard.

She grabbed the woman's hand and said happily: "Sister-in-law, he has passed the exam and the second uncle has already planned to invite him back!"

The woman's face did not show happiness, but worry.

Tang Shui looked at her and asked doubtfully, "Sister-in-law, aren't you happy?"

The woman looked at her and said softly: "Shui'er, follow me and see for yourself."

Tang Shui looked at her and nodded slightly: "Okay."

…

Qing'er, wearing the beautiful red hairpin given to her by Tang Yaoyao, jumped in from the courtyard and said, "Uncle, someone is looking for you outside."

"Wait a minute, don't mess with the positions of my chess pieces." Tang Ning, who was playing flying chess with Tang Yaoyao, stood up and reminded her.

"If I want to win against you, why should I cheat?" Tang Yaoyao waved her hand and said with disdain.

Tangning walked out of the yard, looked around, and reached out to move her chess piece forward two spaces.

Tangning walked to the yamen gate and saw a carriage parked in front of her.

Tang Zhao was standing next to the carriage. When he saw him coming out, he said with a sullen face, "My father asked you to go back to the Tang family."

Tangning glanced at him, turned around and walked into the Yamen.

"Stop!" Tang Zhao quickly stepped forward, pointed at him, and said, "Don't be so shameless. Even if my father and the others admit you, I won't recognize you!"

Tangning turned her head, looked at him, smiled and said, "Get out!"
