As they had expected, there were some rumors regarding Miss Jun and Lu Yunqi.
"There are people from Jinyiwei and people from Taiyuan Hospital." Fang Jinxiu said.
"You are really a scumbag, you will play tricks on the affairs between men and women." Chen Qi said angrily, "You can't compare to those who are upright and just do these things. If Miss Jun were a man, would they still dare to do this?"
This world is always harsher on women.
"What's so strange about this? Aren't they just this kind of people?" Fang Jinxiu said, "Don't make such boring questions."
She looked at Miss Jun.
"How was the conversation?"
Miss Jun shook her head.
"Not very good." She didn't hide it.
Didn't it work this time? Fang Jinxiu looked serious. There was a big difference between Lu Yunqi and the little official in Yangcheng County.
"It doesn't matter. If we can't agree, just continue." Miss Jun said with a smile, "Whoever is afraid of whom, I can't do anything to him, and he can't do anything to me."
With the holy decree, Lu Yunqi couldn't do anything too extreme, such as robbing someone or something like that.
But if this continues, my reputation will not be good.
"Reputation?" Miss Jun smiled, "I don't rely on my reputation to cure diseases and save people."
That's true, Chen Qi smiled.
"You should rest quickly." He said, "I'll go tell Shopkeeper Liu so that he won't worry about it."
No matter how tired or dangerous she is, Miss Jun always exercises and sleeps and eats well.
After night fell, Jiulingtang fell into silence.
But the lights in Deshengchang's inner courtyard were on until they turned white in the east.
Chen Qi drank the strong tea in front of him in one gulp.
"You should have received the letter at home, right?" he said, his voice a little hoarse because he stayed up late or drank too much tea.
Shopkeeper Liu had the same expression as him, with a bit of fatigue. The fatigue was not due to this incident, but because of staying up late.
"We have been changing people and horses all the way. Three days have passed." He said, smiling bitterly again, "Actually, what can the young master do if he knows about it? The family asked for money, and the imperial edict also gave it to him. He gave him everything he could.
Already."
Chen Qi touched his nose.
"You can still give it to someone." He said with his eyes shining, "If Miss Lu is pestering her, if she gets married, how can he still pester her?"
Shopkeeper Liu looked at him with a faint smile.
"You mean young master?" he asked.
"Yes, in the past, Miss Jun gave herself to the young master for the sake of the young master, and now the young master can give herself to the young master in return." Chen Qi said.
Shopkeeper Liu smiled and sighed again.
"First of all, the young master and Miss Jun have already been married once, and everyone knows that it was a fake marriage." He stretched out his finger and said, "One thing leads to another. This time it is a crisis again. No one will believe that Jin Yiwei
I won’t even believe it.”
Chen Qi frowned and wanted to say something, but Shopkeeper Liu stretched out another finger.
"Besides, what if the young lady and the young master get married?" He said, "It's not like there isn't someone else's wife in Lu Yunqi's outer house."
Chen Qi touched his nose.
"Being entangled with an unmarried lady, and entangled with someone else's wife, it is the latter that arouses more public outrage," he said.
Shopkeeper Liu smiled while stroking the table.
"It's not like Jin Yiwei has never done anything to arouse public outrage." He said, "What can public anger do?"
Chen Qi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea.
"I understand what you mean." He said and looked at Shopkeeper Liu, "In any case, even if there is a holy decree, the Fang family is just a merchant. No matter how angry and protest they are, it doesn't matter to the powerful Lu Yunqi.
.”
Shopkeeper Liu also poured a cup of tea.
"Isn't it a cruel fact?" he said.
Chen Qi smiled. He was tired from sitting all night and slumped on the chair.
"What is cruel? Since it is a fact, it is not cruel." He said, "Big people have the cruelty of big people, and small people have methods of small people. So let's just do it. There is nothing to be afraid of."
"Yeah, there's nothing to be afraid of." Shopkeeper Liu kicked off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the chair, "I just think it's not easy for Miss Jun."
"It's easy to do anything, but it's not easy to wait for death." Chen Qi said, "At that time, I was still bullied and kept low."
"But to be honest, I haven't lived like this for many years." Manager Liu knocked on the table and said, "It's so damn exciting."
The two laughed and yawned at the same time. Just when they were about to take a break, the sound of firecrackers suddenly came from outside the door, and they were startled.
"What's wrong?" Chen Qi hurriedly sat up, "Isn't it possible that you stole the bride?"
Shopkeeper Liu listened carefully for a moment. The sound of firecrackers suddenly seemed far away and now closer, and he suddenly realized.
"The new number one scholar has come out." He clapped his legs and said, "The imperial examination is over."
The exam for the number one scholar held every three years is a big event. Before Chen Qi came to the capital, he thought that he would come back in March just to see the number one scholar parade through the streets. He could also go to the royal gardens and maybe see the emperor if he was lucky, but the year before and after
The last series of events made him so busy that he had long forgotten about becoming the number one scholar.
Now after listening to Shopkeeper Liu's words, I feel no sleepiness at all and I feel energetic again.
"Who won the top prize?" he said, "Let's take a look."
…………………………………………
The Royal Street was crowded. Compared with the Rites Examination, the Palace Examination did not rank lower, so the people who came to watch the rankings were all smiles. Firecrackers sounded from time to time on the street, and some people even handed out rewards on the street, which attracted a huge crowd of people on the street. Fortunately, there were government soldiers
Maintain order without causing chaos.
Chen Qi and Shopkeeper Liu, with tired faces on their faces, pushed their way through surrounded by several strong men and stood in front of the gold list. They saw the name of the number one winner at a glance.
Both of them were a little startled, feeling that the name was familiar yet unfamiliar.
Ning Chang.
Who is Ning Chang?
"The tenth son of the Liu Ning family in the north of Yangcheng, Shanxi, is named Chang and named Yunzhao." Shopkeeper Liu said.
Ning Yunzhao.
Only then did Chen Qi realize, Ning Chang, Ning Yunzhao, Ning Shigongzi.
"The number one scholar." He said, "The Ning family has another number one scholar."
With this number one scholar, the Ning family will be prosperous for another generation.
As the number one scholar, Ning Yunzhao directly entered the ranks of Beijing officials and achieved a status that many people, even many officials and Jinshi, could not obtain in their lifetime.
This is the scholar, the highest rank among people in the world, and the most respected family background among officials.
If she was the wife of such a person, Lu Yunqi would definitely not be offended, right?
Chen Qi suddenly had an idea.
But then he smiled again, a bit sadly.
How can it be so easy to become the wife of such a person, otherwise Miss Jun would not be where she is today.
In the past, there was a difference between cloud and mud, but now and in the future, there is no longer any involvement.
Chen Qi was a little disinterested and pulled on Shopkeeper Liu's sleeve.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go about our own business," he said.
At this time, Miss Jun also walked out of Jiulingtang.
Although she didn't stay at Prince Huai's Mansion yesterday, she was still thinking about it, so she decided to go and have a look.
The noise in the street attracted her to look too.
"It's time to release the results," said the driver. "The top pick was chosen last night."
Number one scholar.
Miss Jun looked towards the street.
"Who is it?" Fang Jinxiu asked.
"Beiliu Ningchang, Ning Yan's nephew." The waiter said with joy, and then thought of something, "Miss Jun, I am from Yangcheng."
Fang Jinxiu raised her eyebrows.
"Ha." She said, "So his name is this. It's really unpleasant."
Miss Jun smiled.
"Zhao, 哓ye, rub off the horns of the weapon, but the energy will always remain." She said, and the other party smiled beautifully, "Let's prepare another gift."
