The snow had been falling all morning, and the sharp north wind whistled in the snowflakes, whistling over the bare poplar treetops in the inner courtyard of the dive and sweeping away.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the north wind was like a gust of wind, and the wind wrenched the blizzard and threw it one after another, and soon the world became a world of snow.

Although it was cold outside, there were earth dragons in the inhabited rooms of the Hidden Mansion, so there was no need to worry about keeping out the cold.

The main hall in the inner courtyard is naturally warm as spring.

Xu Cancan ordered people to put a lot of flowering daffodils in the main hall, and asked Suzaku to burn lily incense in the Boshan incense burner, making the whole house warm and elegant.

She leaned on the newly made red embroidered peony pillow of the eldest princess of Yuming on the brocade couch, and watched with a smile as several cronies and female officials teased Fu Rui.

Biyun knelt on the edge of the brocade couch diagonally, holding a crystal bowl of mixed fruits and feeding Queen Xu to eat.

Several cronies and grandmothers and the female doctor Guan Mama were all present, and the female Qingke generally smiled and laughed with her.

In fact, according to the etiquette of Daliang, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the queen is to serve Yiyi in the Fuyun Hall of Kunning Palace to be kowtowed and praised by foreign women and palace concubines, because the whole process is super troublesome, so Xu Cancan immediately withered after seeing the regulations sent by the Ministry of Rites: "This palace is sympathetic to celestial objects, and all foreign women and palace concubines don't have to brave the cold and cold to worship!" ”

Although Zhu Xiaojing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who came to see Empress Xu, said flattering words such as "the queen's mother is kind", she was thinking in her heart: Queen Niangniang, is there anyone else in the inner palace of Emperor Qingping besides you? Where is the palace concubine you are talking about?

Many officials disagree with the fact that Empress Xu is pregnant and Emperor Qingping refuses to draft and accept favors, and Zhu Xiaojing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is one of them, but Emperor Qingping is cold, and no one dares to mention it in person!

Xu Cancan was entertaining in the main hall, but she was looking forward to the arrival of her father and younger brother - she had already ordered Fu Yang to bring someone to pick her up.

Xu Shun and the three of them came soon, and they came with Xu Tinghe, Xu Yipeng, Xu Han and Xu Cui, it turned out that when Fu Yang went to Chengenhou's Mansion, he happened to meet the waiter Xu Mansion who asked Mrs. Xu for peace, so they invited them over.

After the salute, the female officer led them to sit down on the circle chairs on the east and west sides—the female on the east side, and the male guest on the west side.

Because it is rare for the family to reunite, Xu Cancan did not separate men and women, and sat with her in the main hall.

Everyone talked about Xu Yichun's going to return to his hometown to participate in the township test next autumn.

Xu Cancan listened quietly on the side, and if he didn't understand, he asked Biyun or Xu Cui's family, and finally figured out the imperial examination system of Daliang.

It turned out that because Xu Yichun was a student of Guozijian, he could directly participate in the township examination, and if he passed the township examination, he would be a person - Xu Cancan remembered that it was still the eldest uncle who entrusted his father-in-law Han Saijiu to send Xu Yichun to the Guozijian, so that he did not have to participate in the children's examination, so Xu Cancan is still quite grateful in his heart.

After the township examination, they will also participate in the examination held by the Ministry of Rites in February of the following year, and they will participate in the palace examination in March after the examination, and the palace examination will be divided into one, two and three grades.

Xu Cancan was really an eye-opener.

Xu Tinghe twisted his beard and smiled, praised his nephew and said: "Yichun has ambition, and in time, it will be the glory of my Wanzhou Xu family!" "As long as Cancan, the queen, does not fall out of favor, and as long as Fu Rui's position as the crown prince is stable, Yichun will inherit the title of Marquis of Cheng'en in the future, or even Duke Cheng'en. Under such circumstances, he can still work hard to study, which is really the glory of the Xu family, the light of the Xu family.

Xu Cancan saw that the uncle praised his younger brother, and he was also honored in his heart, and his impression of the uncle also improved.

At this time, Xu Yipeng talked about the issue of subject selection, and Xu Cancan knew that the imperial examination of Daliang was also divided into subjects, including Juncai, Ming Jing, Ming Law, Ming Characters, Ming Calculation, etc.

Xu Cancan listened to it for a long time, but he didn't hear that there were practical subjects such as water conservancy, agriculture, and miracle skills, so he kept this matter in his heart.

Xu Hanshi and Cui's talked about the township examination, the general examination and the palace examination every three years, and there were scholars who rushed to take the exam and died of poverty, or committed suicide after failing the list.

Xu Cancan hurriedly looked at Xu Yipeng when he heard this: "Big brother, what the eldest mother and sister-in-law said is true?" ”

Xu Yipeng nodded heavily, and said: "Even if you are as rich as a beam, participating in the imperial examination is still a heavy burden for ordinary people, so those who study to take the exam are quite ruined. ”

Xu Cancan thought for a while, looked at Xu Yipeng with blazing eyes and said, "What if someone has funded it from the beginning of the entrance examination for obtaining student qualifications?" ”

Xu Yipeng was a little puzzled.

Xu Cancan said: "I heard you say that if you want to enter the state school and the county school, you have to take an exam, and if you pass the exam, you will be a talent, and you will be qualified to participate in the township examination." If I set up a reward system for outstanding talents and poor talents in all state and county schools in Daliang, will it be improved? ”

At this moment, not only Xu Tinghe, Xu Shunhe and other four men understood, but even Xu Han and Xu Cui also understood, and they couldn't help but look at Xu Cancan.

Xu Yipeng and Xu Tinghe both showed excitement in their eyes - if the queen's idea is really implemented, this is a real moral policy!

Xu Tinghe's eyes lit up and he looked at his niece, and for the first time found that she not only had beauty, but also seemed to have a little bit of wisdom. At that time, the Xu family was in the middle of the road, he was able to study and finally be admitted to the Jinshi, because the family still had twenty acres of thin fields, and his younger brother Xu Shun and he worked as an apprentice in the Chinese medicine shop in the city at a young age to earn money, but Rao was so, or almost dragged his family down, if Queen Xu's idea came true, how many poor students could jump into Longmen with her sponsorship, these people entered the official career, and they would become the help of Emperor Qingping and further suppress the power of the gate valve!

Xu Yipeng was also excited, and asked Xu Cancan softly: "Niangniang, do you know how much silver you get a year if you say this?" ”

Xu Cancan blinked: "How much?" ”

She smiled and said, "I can afford one million taels a year!" "There are tens of thousands of hectares of land under her name, which were successively given to her by the Emperor Taishang; There are countless silk shops, ready-to-wear shops and gold and silver buildings under her name, which come from Fu Yuchen, Emperor Taishang and Dingguo Gong respectively; She owns a silver mine, two copper mines and three jade mines, and her Fu Song monopolizes the trading of dried seafood from south to north in Daliang, and Shui Han manages several salt farms for her, and monopolizes Daliang's bodyguard industry, and even does business in Dongyi and Liao...... She said that one million taels is still the amount after leaving hundreds of thousands of taels of private silver for herself!

There was silence in the main hall, and everyone was surprised by Xu Cancan's generosity and her wealth, and finally Xu Tinghe spoke: "...... Cancan, are you sure you can take out a million taels a year...... Tattooed silver? ”

Xu Cancan nodded.

Xu Yipeng said thoughtfully: "The queen is afraid that she is already the richest man in Daliang!" ”

Xu Cancan acquiesced. Fu Yuchen has always opposed the gate valve and the concentration of land, in fact, she is the largest landlord in Daliang - however, Xu Cancan assured that he will resolutely support Fu Yuchen's reforms!

The Xu family in the room all looked at Xu Cancan with bright eyes.

Xu Cancan was furious when he saw it, and hurriedly raised his hand and swore: "Don't help the poor, don't ask me to borrow money if you have nothing to do!" ”

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

Xu Cancan looked at Xu Yipeng seriously: "The eldest brother will go back and sum up this matter with the uncle, and then make a statement to His Majesty; I will also talk to Your Majesty about this matter and strive for a successful implementation as soon as possible! ”

Xu Yipeng and Xu Tinghe both took a deep breath, got up and bowed to Xu Cancan uprightly: "The queen is kind to the people, and your subordinates kneel down to you for the people of Daliang!" For the Xu family, Xu Cancan's favor brings glory at the same time, but also brings anxiety, because the grace obtained by beauty alone will always have a day of color decay and love.

Xu Cancan's proposal made them dimly understand: the reason why Xu Cancan was able to become the empress of Emperor Qingping and dominate the harem was not only because she had peerless beauty.

Fu Yuchen was busy until the evening before he set up Luan and drove back to the palace.

Xu Cancan was dressed up and waiting for Fu Yuchen in the morning, and when he heard that he was back, he hurriedly led someone out, gently welcomed him into the main hall, placed him on the brocade couch, and watched the Suzaku and them wait for Fu Yuchen to clean his hands.

After all the people waiting for him retreated, Xu Cancan served tea and massage, flattery and coquettishness, and served Fu Yuchen comfortably.

Fu Yuchen saw that she was so attentive, and knew that Xu Cancan must have something to ask for him, so he calmly enjoyed Xu Cancan's service.

In order to consolidate the results, Xu Cancan won over Fu Yuchen, and specially leaned into his ear and said delicately: "Achen, I'll give you ...... at night"

The thing she promised was Fu Yuchen's favorite thing, so Fu Yuchen also became serious, looked at Xu Cancan quietly, and waited for Xu Cancan to say it himself. He prepared that Xu Cancan would ask for silver for silver, for a knighthood for a title, and for a fief for a fief, and resolutely not let his beloved wife be unhappy on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

Xu Cancan saw that Fu Yuchen was serious, so she told two things, the first thing was that she felt that the imperial examination of Daliang only had subjects such as Juncai, Ming Jing, Ming Law, Ming Characters, and Ming Calculation, and there were no more practical subjects such as water conservancy, agriculture, and strange skills, which was really unreasonable.

The more Fu Yuchen listened, the more serious he became, although there was still no expression on his face, but the hand that was still stroking Xu Cancan before had already held Xu Cancan's hand and didn't move.

Xu Cancan knew that this showed that Fu Yuchen was listening to him carefully, so he began to talk about his plan to set up scholarships in state and county schools across the country.

Fu Yuchen felt both happy and worried, happy that Xu Cancan considered him and the country, and worried that Xu Cancan, who had always been pampered, actually began to worry about state affairs......

Seeing that Fu Yuchen was still expressionless, Xu Cancan snuggled into Fu Yuchen's arms in a little anxious, and while rubbing and seducing Fu Yuchen, he asked, "Achen, how is it?" ”

Fu Yuchen's phoenix eyes were deep: "You have already asked Xu Yipeng to go back to the house for details?" ”

Xu Cancan was afraid that Fu Yuchen would be angry with her for making her own opinions, so he timidly put his face on Fu Yuchen's face and rubbed him.

Fu Yuchen took a deep breath, hugged Xu Cancan tightly, and didn't let go for a long time.

Xu Cancan couldn't tell whether Fu Yuchen was happy or angry, so he leaned up softly and kissed Fu Yuchen on the lips, and said coquettishly: "Achen, answer me quickly!" ”

Fu Yuchen lowered his eyes, made a calm appearance, and said, "If you are tonight-"

"How's it going tonight?" Xu Cancan stupidly took the bait.

Fu Yuchen's face was indifferent: "If you are comfortable with me tonight, I will agree to implement these two things in the court." ”

Xu Cancan was overjoyed: "Then you regret it!" ”

"Cancan, I won't regret it," Fu Yuchen's phoenix eyes were deep, and his hand reached into the placket of Xu Cancan's shirt, holding the plump, soft and warm object.

Xu Cancan groaned, and his body, which was as soft as spring water, was attached to Fu Yuchen.
