Tang Yaoyao, who became rich overnight, bought gifts for everyone, including her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xiao Yi Xiao Ru, and even Qing'er, who was always against her.
Of course Tang Ning also had a gift, Tang Yaoyao gave him a box of good tea.
Tang Ning didn't drink much and didn't know much about tea. She didn't know what Tang Yaoyao meant by giving him a box of tea. She might as well give him hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
In this way, he can build the house better and build an indoor swimming pool in the back. Summer is coming soon, which can be used to escape the heat.
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked doubtfully: "Pool?"
Tangning nodded and said, "The weather will get hotter soon. After you finish practicing, you can soak in the water. It will be very comfortable."
Tang Yaoyao was a little moved by what he said and asked: "How to cultivate?"
"Give me ten thousand taels of silver, and I will take care of this matter."
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said uncertainly: "Ten thousand taels?"
"Five thousand taels is actually okay."
"Five thousand taels?"
"One thousand taels cannot be less."
"you sure?"
"One hundred taels. If it's less than one hundred taels, we can't do this."
In the past, Tang Yaoyao was so stupid that Tang Ning was worried that if she continued to be so stupid, the wealth that Rich Man Tang had managed to save would be deceived by others.
I don’t know when, she actually became shrewd. Not only did she have a unique vision, she was also good at making money, and she was not so easy to be deceived.
Tang Yaoyao handed him a hundred taels of silver notes, and then asked: "Have you heard the rumors outside?"
"You said that violent woman who goes around beating people will definitely not be able to get married?"
Tang Yaoyao's face darkened and she said, "I'm talking about the Tang family!"
"What do the rumors about the Tang family have to do with me?" Tangning stood up and said, "I'll arrange for someone to dig a swimming pool..."
Although Fairy Tang is smart, she doesn't know that these one hundred taels are enough to dig two swimming pools and there is still some leftover.
He had taken advantage of nearly a million taels of his own. If he couldn't even take advantage of a few dozen taels of hers, then he would feel very aggrieved.
Tang Yaoyao watched him leave with a trace of worry on her face.
The imperial examination has ended and the list has been published, but this time the imperial examination is not yet a successful conclusion.
According to the practice in previous years, after the imperial examination, the imperial court would hold a "Qionglin Banquet" for the new Jinshi. This ceremony was handed down from the Song Dynasty. Until now, although the etiquette system has changed greatly, the name has still been passed down.
.
The date of the "Qionglin Banquet" is the third day after the announcement of the palace examination. It has been two days since the announcement of the palace examination, but 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, and all the civil and military officials are discussing how to deal with it. There is no time to hold a banquet, and this matter has been put on hold.
In previous years, there would always be some interesting things happening at the Qionglin Banquet. For a long time, it was the talk of the people in the capital after dinner.
However, there is never a shortage of new things in the capital, and there are always things that the people can talk about.
Compared with what happened on the distant grasslands, they were actually more interested in the tidbits of the powerful officials in Beijing.
Of course, it is not every day that big news comes out for the powerful. In recent days, these new scholars are what everyone is focusing on.
There are so many things about this imperial examination, including the new Jinshi, that are beyond people's expectations.
First of all, there are only two people in the first class. Everyone probably knows the inside story now. They just feel that the new champion and Mr. Xiao have really vicious eyes. They actually walked in front of the court. Regarding this result, everyone is also disappointed.
convince.
What’s interesting is that the Xiao family is a family of military generals, but according to the imperial examination practice, those who take the first-level examination are required to enter the Hanlin Academy. As the only descendant of the Xiao family, Xiao Jue Xiao Xiaogong is likely to become a civil servant...
Of course, although the Xiao family has declined and is not prosperous, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, the Xiao family is an extremely special existence among the wealthy families in the capital. As long as His Majesty is still there, the Xiao family can stand firm.
From this point of view, no matter which path Young Master Xiao chooses in the future, there will be no obstacles for at least ten years. Perhaps, the Xiao family, which is on the verge of decline, can regain a new life 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 their poetry and calligraphy to the family, and each generation had people who were appointed as bachelors. Although they had no real power in the court, their status was respected and their influence was huge.
As for Cui Lang, everyone only knew that the Cui family was from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, and that Cui Lang was from Jieyuan in the south of the Yangtze River. But they didn't know that Cui Lang's uncle was the servant of the dynasty and played an important role in the dynasty.
Comparatively speaking, only the identity of the new No. 1 scholar is unavailable.
Even though he was the second number one scholar since the founding of Chen Guo, he had no background and no backing.
Of course, this is just what everyone thought before.
With the end of the palace examination, the identity of this new top scholar was gradually revealed.
No one thought that he turned out to be the abandoned son of the Tang family more than ten years ago. I am afraid that even the Tang family did not expect that more than ten years later, the child they abandoned at the beginning would actually create such glory in the capital.
The rumors had been circulating in the community for two days, but the Tang family did not come forward to refute the rumors and allowed the rumors to spread. This was inconsistent with their usual behavior and made the speculation even more solid.
"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, inside the palace, Emperor Chen 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 disappoint me 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 go 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, come 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, there is someone looking for you outside."
"Wait a minute, don't mess with the positions of my chess pieces." Tang Ning was playing flying chess with Tang Yaoyao. She 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, stretched out her hand and moved 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."
Tang Ning glanced at him, turned around and walked into the Yamen.
"Stop!" Tang Zhao walked forward quickly, 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!"
