In the Beijing tea house, Yu Die and a few people were tired from shopping, so they asked the servant to send the purchased items back to the Hou residence, and a few people went to the lively tea house.
Recently, with people from all over the country entering Beijing one after another, the most lively place in the capital is the tea house.
The sisters reserved a private box. Jiang Miao is a quiet one, and she frowned slightly when she entered the restaurant, "So many people?"
Yudie likes to be lively and listens with great interest. She and Yuan Bo have been here several times. Today, if she is not with her cousin, she will also come with her fiancé.
Yu Die pointed to the front, "There are so many people every day, cousin, you see that there is another debate."
The lazy Yuwen had a rare spirit, glanced at it and said, "Let's go upstairs."
Arriving upstairs, when passing by the booth, Yudie paused, then blinked, "Oh, it's really grandpa, she was tangled and didn't know whether to go over.
Yu Yi, who is very attentive, also noticed it, and finally pulled off the third sister, "Let's go to the box."
Yudie didn't have to worry about it, she walked forward quickly, and when she got to the box, she asked, "Who did you see?"
Several Yu Yi have seen the emperor and the prince, Yu Yi said: "The emperor and the prince."
Yudie patted her heart, "Fortunately, I didn't pass."
When Yujiao saw the shop girl come in, she ordered tea and snacks that her sisters liked, and signaled the shop girl to go down. When the door was closed, Yujiao said, "Is this listening to the debate?"
Yudie sat down, "Well, Yuan Bo and I had a wonderful debate, and the emperor also heard about it, so come and listen."
Jiang Miao's face was sullen, she didn't dare to speak so casually like her cousins.
Yuwen held her chin lazily, "No wonder there are so many debates recently. This is to become famous. It is indeed a good way to recommend yourself, but sometimes it can backfire."
Look, someone is going to be unlucky today, it's okay to enter the emperor's eyes, but he can't, hehe!
During the opening, Zhou Shuren naturally noticed his granddaughter and granddaughter, and explained: "The granddaughter followed her husband back to Beijing to take the exam, and a few girls in the family came out to go shopping together."
What the emperor paid attention to was rushing for the exam, "How did your grandson-in-law do in the exam?"
"It can also be ranked in the top ten, better than Chen's grandson."
The emperor knew of Zhou Hou's eldest daughter's family, especially the twins. Now that he heard the two of them were chosen, he became a little interested: "Your son-in-law's family is good at reading."
Zhou Shuren, "They are all children who can endure hardship and work hard."
It's not easy for the emperor to say the last sentence, and he looked at the people downstairs talking loudly, "I don't have enough vision."
Zhou Shuren sighed in his heart, yes, he still looked too shallow. The country is different from the state, and he was also quite disappointed. He heard that there was a wonderful debate before he came with the emperor. .
Talent, he is really rare, the Ministry of Household needs talents, so I want to start first, but the result is forgotten, let's wait for the list!
The crown prince looked at the following people who were still talking eloquently with some sympathy. The father's vision was not enough, and it was destined that he would not be taken seriously on the list. So, if you don't have a deep foundation and vision, it's better not to take shortcuts.
At least not much to say, safe and steady on the list, and planning to have a good future, now tsk tsk.
Suddenly, Zhou Shuren's neck leaned forward, surprised, and turned to look at the emperor, only to see that the emperor's face was not very good.
The emperor chuckled, "The second and third are also out of the palace."
The crown prince was also surprised. Then he thought of something and narrowed his eyes. Recently, the second and third brothers have been diligent in leaving the palace. It turns out that they will be recruiting people from various places. Is this for themselves?
Zhou Shuren closed his mouth tightly, but thought to himself, the princes are all grown up.
The emperor motioned Eunuch Zhang to go down, "Let them come up."
Soon, the two princes came up like quails, the emperor, "Have you been busy recently?"
The second prince thought of the thick schoolwork, "No, not at all idle."
The third prince lowered his head, "My son knows it's wrong."
Zhou Shuren raised his eyes, then lowered his eyes and continued to play with the cup at hand.
The emperor smiled, "Since you can leave the palace, it can be seen that you are very confident in your homework. I am very pleased. I will test you when you return to the palace, if so."
The rest of the words were not finished, and the meaning was clearly expressed.
The two princes were a little scared, but there was nothing they could do. There was too much schoolwork, and many of the second princes wanted to go to court, but they still didn't find the opportunity.
So the second prince is in a hurry, and the Liu family is also in a hurry, but the emperor just beat the Liu family, it is useless for the second prince to be in a hurry, he can only find a way by himself.
As soon as the prince's mind changed, he knew what the second brother was thinking. Just now, he heard the second brother speak downstairs. This was not only to select talents, but also to make a name for himself.
The emperor glanced at the third child, and was too lazy to ask, "Return to the palace with me later."
Zhou Shuren looked sideways. The third prince followed the second prince. He was not surprised. After the emperor beat him, it was inevitable for the second prince to win over the third prince. At present, the third prince is also satisfied.
The following debate was over. Yu Die and the others went downstairs first and waited for the carriage by the door. The horse carriage from Hou’s house came over. Zhou Shuren told the emperor that he was not going to go back to the household department and wanted to go home with his granddaughter.
Yudie saw Grandpa coming, "Grandpa, hehe, we see you."
Zhou Shuren, "I saw you too, is today's debate exciting?"
Yudie has heard wonderful things, "It's okay."
Yu Yi shook her head. Their vision was no worse than that of a man. She did not agree with some of the arguments just now.
Yuwen was more direct, she was already drowsy and fell asleep just listening to it.
The little girl Yujiao is also sloppy, she thinks it's boring, why don't she go to the jewelry store!
Jiang Miao was thinking about some day to come over with Xianggong.
Zhou Shuren understood the expressions of his granddaughters, his beard was upturned, and lo and behold, the granddaughters taught by him and Zhulan had a broad vision, and whoever married his granddaughter was a blessing.
The carriage came over, Zhou Shuren got on the carriage first, and a few girls got on the carriage at the back When the carriage of Zhouhou Mansion left, many people in the restaurant noticed that there was a lot of discussion, and some people didn't believe it Zhou Hou was in the teahouse just now.
The cousin of the third prince, the son of the Du family is also this year's evangelist. He came today to see the third prince. As a result, the third prince went upstairs with the second prince as soon as he came. He saw the third prince leave just now. Next debate.
Seeing that the young master beside him was still staring at the carriage away from Zhouhou Mansion, Du Lu squinted his eyes and asked knowingly, "What is Master Ji looking at?"
Ji Gongzi retracted his gaze, "The one just now was Zhou Hou?"
Du Lu, "Yeah, didn't you hear the discussion?"
Ji Gongzi pinched the corner of his sleeve, "I have always admired Zhouhou, and I knew that Zhouhou was here today, so I'm going too."
Regret, regret to death.
Du Lu glanced at a poor student like Ji Gongzi, his eyes were contemptuous, and he lowered his eyes again, because Zhou Hou, the Du family lost their official status, and now the whole family is counting on him.
