Chapter 653 Doing business again
Qin Huai was thinking about today's golden palace, and some cabinet ministers suspected that his article was fake, so he completed the poem in seven steps, and composed a "Fu in Response to the Assistant Minister".
Praised and criticized in secret, made the cabinet minister turn pale, and gasped for breath while holding his heart.
If Emperor Minghua hadn’t signaled him not to get angry, he would have sent him directly to the Imperial Hospital.
It was only then that everyone knew that this boy was only thirteen years old, so he really shouldn't be underestimated.
In the end, except for the cabinet minister who didn't want to talk, everyone else recognized his talent, and he deserved to be selected as the champion.
At present, there are a lot of talented people in the imperial examination, and the top 20 selected are indeed the dragons and phoenixes, including Wang Chuangui, who happened to be the 20th at the bottom, and he was not timid.
Everyone has their own unique insights.
Wang Chuangui, who was born in a farming family, was the oldest, and Qin Huai was the youngest, and the two were asked the most questions.
Wang Chuangui also answered very decently. Qin Huai quoted scriptures and classics, while Wang Chuangui based himself on the livelihood of the people at the bottom.
Before he rode his horse through the streets, Emperor Minghua secretly asked his father-in-law to ask Qin Huai if he would like to marry him and Ayu, so that he could teach them to bless all his servants.
Qin Huai refused.
Until he asked Ayu, he wouldn't make his own claim.
He really hates Queen Qin's self-assertion. Even now, he probably understands that many actions of Queen Qin in the past, which seemed harsh, were actually protecting him, but so what?
The cold reception he received in the past, the cold state of mind, is irreparable.
Therefore he will never be such a person.
When his thoughts returned, Qin Huai saw Ayu's big smile. She was still the same as when he first saw her, smiling very cutely.
It seems that there is nothing dirty in the world that can be remembered by her.
I really hope they can be like this forever, she will be the happy little Ayu, and she will be the brother Ayou she likes.
Qin Huai mouthed toward Ayu: "Go back."
The horse parade is only on the road of Sansi Street, and then they will go to a few specific places in the imperial city, so that the waiting common people can have a look at the champion and the others.
Finally, we will go to the Confucius Temple for a simple sacrificial ceremony, and the champion parade will come to an end.
The imperial city of Dachang is really big, so it will not go around completely. Instead, it will start from the main city gate and stop at the Confucius Temple, but the distance is not close, and there is a meal on the way.
When the process is carried out to the end, it is usually the climax of the moon.
Of course he was reluctant to let Ayuku wait.
Ayu also knew something about it, so he waved to Qin Huai: "Brother Ayou, I'll help you eat your share!"
Then, he said to Wang Chuangui behind him, "Second Uncle, I'll help you eat yours too!"
Wang Wulang also shouted: "Second uncle, I will help you eat too!"
Wang Erlang was too old to let go and shouted, so he motioned to Wang Silang with his eyes, Wang Silang sighed, followed Ayu's example, and shouted loudly: "Father, don't worry, my son will eat well for you of."
Wang Chuangui: "..." Why are these words so wrong?
If he hadn't been mentioned suddenly, Wang Chuangui would have thought that he had been forgotten by his family long ago. He, a second-class Jinshi, has no sense of existence at all.
The people who watched the number one scholar parading the streets couldn't help laughing when they heard these words, especially when they saw Mr. Yuxiang, who was still passionate before, and now he was acting like a little girl, they couldn't help laughing and shaking their heads in their hearts. A child speaks with a child's mind.
It's still those noble people who were born in a poor family and went up step by step, they seem more friendly, and they are much more pleasing to the eye than those high-ranking and arrogant ladies.
The parading team of champions gradually walked away, but the front of Defeng Tower was still bustling with activity. Seeing that those people still had something to say, Mrs. Wang called Ayu to her side, and gave her orders like this.
After eating, Ayu went downstairs with a smile and walked in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at this little nobleman, not knowing what she was going to do.
Behind looking at Ayu, stood a maidservant who was a head taller than her. The maid held a tray covered with red silk in her hand, and she didn't know what was in it.
Could it be that the fiancé of the township lord won the first prize, so he wanted to reward you all. I heard that nobles love this hand the most.
Just when everyone was expecting, Ayu said: "Actually, science exams not only test wisdom, but also the ability to adapt to changes and calm down. There is a saying in my hometown that if you are restless and can't read, then you must Go to the Puji Temple on the mountain to ask for a peace talisman. With this talisman, you can get twice the result with half the effort. As for me, there is a peace talisman given by the former abbot of Puji Temple. My second uncle can sleep peacefully every day relying on it , in the examination room, he can sleep sweetly even with cold buns and thin quilts..."
Ayu babbled and flickered, and after she finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened, and they were all eagerly looking at the tray in their hands.
I most hope to hear what Xiang Jun said as a free gift to them.
"These peace talismans were made by our family over a thousand days, praying every day, and they are very effective." Ayu added, "If you want to pair it with a cup of our hometown's special peace of mind tea and peace of mind silk quilt, the effect will be great." is better."
I was so impatient that I couldn't help it: "Mr. Yuxiang, just tell us, how to get these things?"
Ayu signaled the glutinous rice **** to open the silk cloth, and dozens of small golden talismans were impressively placed on it.
This...so much?
"Anshen talismans are expensive and not expensive, and they are only given to those who are destined. You can get them with your own certificates, one for each person, and no one else." Ayu said, "But the Anshen tea is carefully prepared at home. It takes a lot of money to feed a few plants and gather rare things from all over the world to warm them up, so I can’t take them for free.”
"How much soothing tea?"
"Five hundred taels of silver." After Ayu finished talking about the price, everyone gasped, and she continued, "One tael."
"Mr. Yuxiang, is this price really too high?"
Ayu said calmly: "I haven't finished talking yet, if one copy of this calming tea is sold, our Wang family will donate half of the money to help the poor, poor and weak. We will donate as many copies as we sell. The money will be handed over to the Xiaoyao Shantang under the jurisdiction of King Xiaoyao, if you are interested, you can check the direction of the money at any time."
Can you still do this?
There are many people doing good deeds, but I have never seen half of their income donated, and there is still no cap.
After Ayu finished speaking, he lowered his head and drank a cup of tea. Tangyuan understood, and then said: "As for the silk quilt, it is also woven from spring silkworms specially raised in Wangbei County. The people who raise silkworms are all old and weak, women and children, and life is extremely difficult. , but the craftsmanship is excellent. You can also order silk quilts from Xiaoyao Wangfu, and the palace will help purchase them back. The price of silk quilts is 30 taels of silver per catty, and you can make reservations according to your own requirements and preferences."
"Similarly, for every silk quilt sold, our Wang family will contribute an additional 5 taels of silver to subsidize handicraft workshops of poor families."
Now the price of silk quilts in Fangshi is usually 5 taels of silver per catty, but the quality of silk varies, and most of the good ones are monopolized by aristocratic families.
The silk quilt sold by Mr. Yuxiang does sound too expensive, but compared with the previous Anshen tea, it seems to be very cheap. What's the matter?
There were people on the spot ready to move and want to buy.
After these people expressed their desire to buy, Ayu said again: "I would like to remind everyone that the Anshen Talisman and silk quilt can be ordered according to needs and preferences, but Anshen tea is particular, it is cultivated with the world's good people and flawless water Yes, it is good for ordinary people to drink it, but if people with particularly bad intentions drink it, they may be in danger of dehydration and diarrhea, and if the most vicious people drink it, their lives will be in danger."
This remark was added temporarily by Ayu.
Because the calming tea was originally poured with water mixed with panacea.
It's just that there are not two plants, but two Zhuangzi, with a total of more than 100 mu of land.
It was all created by Wang Chuanman in the past few years. The tea from the previous few years was the essence, and now he is thinking about selling it.
She just deliberately exaggerated the effect.
There was a self-proclaimed upright person on the spot, and in the eyes of others, he said bravely: "Haha, this is not a problem, we are upright people, we should drink this kind of tea. Mr. Yuxiang, let me remember first. Let's go to five-two."
It's dangerous. I'm used to spending a lot of money on weekdays, and I almost said five catties.
Five catties is more than 20,000 taels of silver.
Then he might be broken by his father when he goes back.
