Tang Yuchen said: "We are really in a hurry, we didn't even think of the Wang family." β
In this way, the three of them asked Wang Shi to pass the message to Zhou's mother.
Dong Ruyi listened to Zhou's mother's relay, and said with a smile: "Tell them not to be impatient, the mountain people have their own tricks, just let them sit and wait to collect the money." β
Dong Ruyi has been really studying hard for a while, and she handed over all the things in her hands.
Yixinyuan is the same as before, busy as if it is fighting.
Zhou's mother, Liao's mother, Xiangju and others have the experience of the last time, and this time it is obviously a lot easier.
And Dong Wende, who had already won the first-class jinshi in Beijing, didn't know that Dong Ruyi had won the Xiucai and the female Xiucai, and he still didn't relax himself at this time, he was preparing for the schoolwork of the palace exam.
Dong Wende attaches great importance to this exam, this exam is not only for him to enter the official career, but also the only opportunity for him to leave the Dong family with his wife and children.
So he really didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of the sages.
Chen naturally understands why her husband is studying so hard, she doesn't say anything about the boiling things outside, even the people in the mansion are not allowed to chew the root of their tongues in the mansion, once they find it, they will directly take it away, and then ask someone to take it away.
Over the course of a year, Chan has grown to the point where he can stand on his own.
Chen took care of Dong Wende and her son on the other, and every time she heard the news of Dong Ruyi, she was happy and anxious in her heart.
She wrote several letters back to Jiangning Mansion to inquire about her daughter.
Fortunately, Dong Ruyi replied, she said that she was very good, so that Chen did not need to worry about her, and said that her grandfather meant that she took the imperial examination, and said that everything was in the control of her grandfather.
Chen read the letter and felt a little relieved, but he was still waiting for the letter from the Chen family.
Soon Chen Jingzhi's reply also arrived, Chen Jingzhi did not say as much as Dong Ruyi said, he only mentioned that it was his intention to let Dong Ruyi take the imperial examination.
also said that he would be optimistic about and discipline Dong Ruyi, and asked her not to tell Dong Wende about this first, and instructed Dong Wende to concentrate on preparing for the palace examination first.
With Chen Jingzhi's letter, Chen was even more relieved.
And what made Chen Jingzhi even happier after the year was that Chen Shuo, the old lady of the Chen family, returned to Jiangning.
Chen Shuo originally lived in Jingzhao Wei Zhongxian's mansion, and seeing that the New Year was about to come, he took his little apprentice to Dong Wende and Chen's place, and saw how Dong Wende's palace preparations were going, and gave some pointers by the way.
When he first heard about Dong Ruyi's examination for Xiucai, he knew that it was his son's handwriting, a female Xiucai, and he could figure it out.
As a result, things developed differently than he imagined, and Mu Zhai and Tang Ji were involved.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
After inquiring carefully, he learned that this female Xiucai was actually the adopted daughter of his granddaughter, so he naturally wanted to ask the Chen family.
Chen said happily: "Grandfather doesn't need to worry, my father and Sister Ru have already written to me, saying that it doesn't matter what happens over there. β
As she spoke, she also showed Chen Shuo the letter between Dong Ruyi and Chen Jingzhi.
How can Chen Shuo not know his son's handwriting, the pen is calm, and there is a little helplessness between the lines, it is obvious that his son can't control this great-granddaughter.
Then he read Dong Ruyi's letter again.
Dong Ruyi's letter was written back to Chen, and the words on it were naturally not embellished in any way.
She writes powerfully, the pen swings freely, although it is written in Wang Xizhi's font, but it is still sharp, it is obvious that she is bound to win the township test.
Chen Shuo looked at the font that faintly concealed the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, and said in his heart: "This is Wang Xizhi's font." β
When he came back to his senses, he felt a cold back, and then he realized that he was in a cold sweat.
He couldn't sit still anymore, and directly wanted to go back to Jiangning Mansion.
The Chen family naturally wants to stay, and seeing that the New Year is coming, isn't this going to be the New Year on the road.
Chen Shuo said: "I looked at this book, and now my heart is like an arrow, so I don't need to persuade you more." β
Dong Wende and Chen saw that the old man was finally homesick and was going home, and they were happy in their hearts, but when they returned to Jiangning, it would be over in the Jiangning year.
The husband and wife repelled each other and were puzzled.
Fortunately, Chen Shuo was different in the eyes of everyone, and in the end, Chen had no choice but to prepare him with enough dry food, horses, and coils to send him back to Jiangning.
Before Chen Shuo left, he specially called Wei Zhongxian to come over to talk, the two of them didn't know what they said, all in all, Wei Zongxian's expression was very serious when he left.
As soon as Chen Shuo left Jingzhao with his front foot, Chen wrote a letter to Chen Jingzhi with his back foot.
Chen Shuo was non-stop all the way, and he would only stay for half a day when he encountered a place where a Muzhai branch was opened.
After Chen Jingzhi's words spread out on the Shangyuan Festival, Mu Zhai still went his own way, Chen Shuo couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and his heart was beating faster.
As long as he thought that if Dong Ruyi understood the yuan, then the whole Zhou, whether it was the official eunuchs or the poor people, would lose the silver, and he would be afraid.
If all the people's silver is lost to Ruji, Muzhai, and Tang Ji, then when the people have no money in their hands, how will they buy food and living needs?
Besides, if those officials and nobles have no silver in their hands, will they start to scrape the people's fat and ointment, so what will be the life of the people of the Great Zhou?
There are also those businesses who are speculating now, those who think that they can make a fortune by setting up a thousand times the amount of money bets, how many businesses will go out of business.
If some businesses go bankrupt and the people don't have the money in their hands to buy their daily necessities, how many of the items in Da Zhou will be backlogged in the hands of merchants?
How many businesses can survive such a difficult time?
In the long run, what will happen to the Great Week?
The words 'precarious' lingered in Chen Shuo's mind.
In the end, if Ru Ji, Tang Ji, and Mu Zhai refused to stop there, and they used the money in their hands to buy a large amount of grain, cloth and other items that could be used for money, then what would happen to the imperial court?
What about the treasury in the long run?
Chen Shuo fell ill directly on the road due to excessive thoughts.
The little apprentice who returned to Jiangning Mansion with Chen Shuo refused to continue his journey, he had to wait for Chen Shuo to get better before he was willing to leave.
Chen Shuo was helpless, thinking that his protΓ©gΓ© Wei Zhongxian would definitely make a difference, so he relaxed a little.
Although Chen Shuo has been away for many years and is in good health, he is old after all, and after this illness, when he rushed to Jiangning Mansion, the township examination had already been completed.
Chen Shuo looked at the gate of the Jiangnan Gongyuan and said straightly: "Providence, providence." β
