But it was true that she had been pregnant for three years. Yan Shiyue warned him that she must tell him immediately when the results of the general examination were released. However, she was stunned until the person who announced the good news came over and reported that Huo Qiyang had won the first place in the general examination.
I was stunned and then I remembered, oh, it turned out that I had already passed the general examination.
Ren Zenan took seventh place, which is not a bad ranking. As long as there are no big problems in the palace examination, he should be somewhat sure of getting the title of Tanhualang. Even if things go wrong, he can still get Chuanlu, which is the first place in the second class.
During the time she was raising her baby, "Trader" had been sung everywhere. The higher Ren Zenan's ranking, the more people would think of him, and the drama would become more popular.
In the evening, everyone heard about it and teased her one after another. Qu Sinian laughed and said, "Then the Prime Minister has also forgotten about the trading business I told him recently?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Are you referring to the huge sales of glass before the Chinese New Year? Or do you mean that many wealthy families have begun to buy cement to pave their yards and houses?"
Qu Sinian laughed, but before he could finish laughing, Yan Shiyue pointed at him: "Speaking of which, you've been very busy recently!"
"No!" Qu Sinian's smile suddenly disappeared and he said vigilantly: "I'm very busy, I'm very busy!"
Yan Shiyue said: "I have a greenhouse outside the city. I have planted a lot of rubber grass. Ask Xiaoyan to take you there to have a look. I think there should be a lot..." She paused and hesitated for a long time: "Forget it.
Yes, I’ll go take a look too.”
Then she suddenly became angry and said, "Why are you so annoying!" She turned around and left.
Qu Sinian held his forehead and looked at Huo Qijing silently: "..."
Huo Qijing was in a really good mood recently and joked: "It's really a bit far outside the city. Either I hate it or others hate it. I'll treat it as something I owe you this time."
Okay... Qu Sinian could only take the blame silently.
Rubber grass has been planted for several years regardless of the season, and now it has grown to a large scale. At first, Yan Shiyue asked someone to make the soles of shoes, which were available in both large and small sizes. There were patterns on the bottom, and there was a circle of tiny pinholes left on the edge.
You can change your face when the time comes.
But when he mentioned selling soles, Qu Sinian's expression became a little strange: "Really?"
"Um?"
Qu Sinian said: "I think you should ask the emperor. After all, Simao belongs to the imperial court. Isn't it too unpleasant to sell shoe soles?"
She said: "Don't you wear shoes?"
"I'll wear it," Qu Sinian said, "but it's useless for you to tell me this!"
Okay, Yan Shiyue strolled into the palace, and sure enough, Emperor Ming Yan didn't agree.
Yan Shiyue complained in her heart, this is because she has money in her hand, and she is starting to talk about being tough again... But rubber is said to be of great use, but for example, tires? Most of them are used on Yuwen cars, and the soles are not allowed to be sold, and the rubber hoses are not allowed to be sold for a while.
If there is no need for it, Yan Shiyue said: "How about leaving it like this and entrusting it to someone else to sell it."
Emperor Ming Yan said: "Okay."
So the big money-making project was handed over to others. Yan Shiyue asked people to summon Meng Dan, signed a confidentiality contract, and handed over the rubber soles to Meng Ji for sale. At the same time, he listed this thing as a tribute and made a part of it first.
Come, ask Emperor Ming Yan to reward people for use, and then start making tires and strengthening the emperor's cars.
During the busy period, the palace tried it, but I don't know if Emperor Ming Yan was biased. Anyway, just as the father and daughter had secretly decided before, Huo Qiyang became the number one scholar, and Ren Zenan was selected as the most beautiful man.
Tanhua Lang was already determined to join the trade department, but Emperor Ming Yan was a little hesitant about Huo Qiyang's arrangement. Although it was cool to say that he was the number one scholar at ten years old, he was still too young after all.
Emperor Ming Yan called Xu Wenqu and asked him: "Where do you think Huo Qiyang should be placed?"
Xu Wenqu replied calmly: "Since the emperor asked, I will not avoid relatives in favor of virtuous people. Although Ayang is young, mature in temperament, and knowledgeable, he is not a scholar, so the Hanlin Academy does not
Suitable for him, but less for him
When he was tortured and killed, his temperament is colder than ordinary people, taciturn, and not suitable for being in front of the emperor. The emperor can put it in the six parts... Now he will be the emperor's eyes, in the future he will be the emperor's hands, and in the future he will be like an arm.
.”
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty was silent.
One day later, when he was summoned to the Golden Palace, Ren Zenan went to see him and told the emperor that he was a merchant and wanted to join Simao. Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty agreed in court.
After that, a decree was made.
The Department of Mao was renamed the "Business Department" and was placed alongside the six departments. Yan Shiyue was still in charge of it and reported directly to the emperor.
In other words, this has become a department that has always belonged to the emperor after the Dragon Guard. It is nominally parallel to the six departments, but in fact it is higher than the six departments.
Qu Sinian was promoted to Shangshu, Ren Zenan became Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Commerce, and the rest of the "Simao special recruits" were changed to "trade principals", and their grades were all upgraded by one level. In addition, they were each rewarded with a certain amount of silver.
At the same time, Gu Hengsha, who stayed in the Ministry of Hubu, was also appointed as a doctor in the Ministry of Hubu, but he still had the job of teaching at the Imperial College.
Yan Shiyue was quite happy.
Rather than chatting and playing tricks with the bosses, she still prefers doing business and being free.
Afterwards, she asked Emperor Ming Yan why it was suddenly changed to the Ministry of Commerce.
Emperor Ming Yan said very calmly: "I see that when you do those things, you need to use people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, etc. from time to time, so I simply move up a level to make it easier to do things."
In addition, Huo Qiyang was put into the Ministry of Personnel and served as a doctor.
As for the second-placed scholar, I don't know if he was influenced by Tang Wanbi before him. Anyway, Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty didn't care much about him, and he still entered the Hanlin Academy according to the procedure and served as a editor of the Hanlin Academy.
Qu Sinian climbed up the ladder to heaven and became the most popular son-in-law in the capital.
Two days later, when he came home, Tong said to him: "You are not young, it's time to get married."
Qu Sinian said calmly: "There's no rush."
"How can we not be in a hurry!" Tong said: "There are three types of unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children! You are already nearly married, how can you not get married!"
Qu Sinian remained silent.
Mrs. Tong said: "This time, I can't follow you anymore. The official media came today and mentioned a girl. I thought she was good, so I agreed."
Qu Sinian frowned and said, "Who is it?"
Mrs. Tong said: "I have seen this little lady from the Yao family before. She is really pretty and plump. She looks like she is good at giving birth..."
Qu Sinian interrupted her: "Which Yao family?"
Tong murmured for a long time before saying: "Her father is the young minister of Dali Temple."
She glanced at him and said coquettishly: "Marry a girl from a high family, marry a woman from a low family. Although the Yao family has a small official position, the young lady is really good..."
Qu Sinian couldn't believe it for a moment. He slowly raised his head and looked at her: "This Yao Qiang is Jin Heqiao's nephew. You don't know about this??"
There was a moment of discomfort on Tong's face: "Then... so what? My son, please don't be stubborn. This marriage is the order of the parents and the matchmaker's words..."
Qu Sinian looked at her for a long time, then sneered: "My parents' orders? Then call my father out and ask! Does he want me to marry this wife of the Yao family? Does he want me to marry the enemy who killed my father?"
Get involved!"
Tong's expression suddenly changed.
He looked at her closely: "Do you have to ask me to make it clear so that you won't pretend to be confused? You colluded with outsiders to murder your husband... Mom, don't force me to kill my husband out of justice!!!" (To be continued)
