Most people in Beijing heard that it was just a businessman recruiting a son-in-law, but they didn't pay much attention to it, and they didn't pay much attention to it.

At first, only some people who wanted to try their luck for the Wang family's wealth participated, but after a battle, they were defeated before even the first question was solved, and they had to leave in disgrace.

Coupled with the people arranged by Lu Jing, for two days, hundreds of people did not see Wang Suxiu's true face, and they all returned.

Lu Jing immediately arranged manpower to build momentum for Wang Suxiu, and Wang Suxiu also became famous in the capital and became the talking point of the people in Beijing before the selection of imperial businessmen.

Most of the participants ran out of time on the first question, and fled in shame, and some opportunists asked the question from the loser, struggled to solve the first question, and then fell on the second question, solved the second question and fell on the third question, and all three questions were solved The next day, they went to participate in it, and found that they had changed the question again.

With the outflow of the six questions made by Wang Suxiu two days ago, many people who were not interested in it were also attracted by the questions.

On the third day, most of the businessmen who were preparing for the imperial business written exam also became interested and participated in it, but most of them just wanted to meet Wang Suxiu and see what problems she would have today.

Zhang Jingyi came to Shangdong Inn with this mentality, and observed the dusk from early morning, watched wave after wave of people lose, combined with the first two questions, and participated in the last round of tests.

The crowd of onlookers gave encouragement to the last five people of the day, hoping that someone would solve the second question and ask the third question.

As for whether someone can solve the third question and return to the beauty, everyone does not have expectations, first, they don't want to be compared to others, and second, this matter is extremely interesting, and everyone doesn't want it to end so soon.

"I don't know how many things are there today, two of the three or three numbers are left, three of the five or five numbers are left, and two of the seven or seven numbers are left, ask the geometry of things?" After Wang Suxiu said the first question, he asked people to burn incense and time.

Although there is a curtain to cover it, it is impossible to see the true face, but only hearing its crisp and pleasant sound, revealing an atmosphere, Zhang Jingyi has a good impression in her heart, but she has already married a wife, and the Zhang family's family business is far better than the Wang family, so there are no other distractions in her heart.

The five of them looked at each other, and they all quickly wrote down the answer to twenty-three, and the first question was solved and announced as early as the morning.

Wang Suxiu has long been accustomed to this, and without saying much, he said the second question: "One hundred copper coins on the table, two people take turns to take it, at least one, at most five, and the last one wins, if you take the copper coins first, how many should you take, and how to get them in the future, in order to win?" ”

When Zhang Jingyi and the other two were outside the inn, they solved this problem, so they directly wrote down the answer: take four pieces for the first time, and then no matter how many the other party takes, only the sum of what he takes and what he takes is six.

The other two waited for the incense to burn out but did not solve the correct answer and were eliminated.

Wang Youxiang recognized that the remaining three people were all sons of wealthy businessmen, and his heart was a little complicated, hoping that one of the three would answer that he had married his daughter, but he was also worried that someone would really answer and destroy Lu Jing's plan.

After Wang Suxiu sat on the curtain, he said the third question lightly: "There is a round wood buried in the wall, I don't know the size, I saw it, it is one inch deep, and the saw road is one foot long, ask how much is the diameter?" ”

A stick of incense burned out, Zhang Jingyi and the three of them still did not answer, their faces were a little gloomy, not because they regretted that they could not hold the beauty, but because they were unwilling to be defeated by a woman, the three of them each sighed, and then withdrew.

When the people outside the inn saw the three of them come out with ugly faces, they knew that they had failed again, and they sighed in their hearts and breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Suxiu saw that there was another day without danger, and she was completely relieved of Lu Jing's arrangement, and admired Lu Jing's talent even more.

Just by looking at the questions Lu Jing gave him, he could think of how difficult the questions in the imperial business written exam would be, and a trace of worry gradually rose in his heart.

Then thinking of Lu Jing's arrangement, he gathered his thoughts, covered his face with a light veil, and followed his father to the window on the second floor of the inn. ”

When the people who had not dispersed saw Wang's father and daughter, they all quieted down, and they all looked at Wang Suxiu in the window, wanting to see what the woman who had defeated everyone one after another in the past few days looked like.

Although Wang Suxiu only showed half of his face, everyone could also see his beautiful face, coupled with his graceful posture, he has shown extraordinary talent in the past few days, and many people are heart-pounding and admired.

Wang Suxiu saw the people looking up at him below, and suddenly felt a heroic anger in his heart, and said: "I heard that if today's good businessmen are gathered in the capital, the little woman is not talented, and no one can win the test, is it that many men are not as good as women in hairpin skirts." ”

"From this, when it comes to the selection of imperial businessmen, if the Ministry of Internal Affairs allows women to participate, I am afraid that you will all be defeated by the hands of the hairpin skirt and lose all your face."

"If after three days, no one can defeat the little girl, I am afraid that even the winner of this selection will be difficult to convince the public and become a laughing stock."

"In ancient times, Hua Mulan served in the army for her father, but now my father can't run for the election, and she can't beat the little woman in the competition for many days, and the little woman intends to take the test for her father, if the Internal Affairs Office allows me to participate in the test for my father, I am willing to try to compete with you!"

After Wang Suxiu finished speaking, he glanced down again, then turned to leave.

Wang Youxiang sighed secretly in his heart, as soon as his daughter's words came out, I was afraid that the marriage in the future would be even more difficult, and he sighed a few times and left.

When the people below heard his words, they suddenly poured boiling water into the boiling oil and exploded the pot, some felt ashamed, many men were not as good as a woman, some felt unconvinced, and felt that if they asked each other, who would win and who would lose, it was not yet known, and some thought that if this woman was a man, she would definitely achieve a career.

No matter what, there is an idea in everyone's hearts, that is, to defeat Wang Suxiu, you can't let what she said come true, otherwise everyone will become a laughing stock.

As everyone dispersed, Wang Suxiu's words also spread, and Lu Jing instigated public opinion to compare Wang Suxiu and Hua Mulan.

And many men were defeated by Wang Suxiu, both of whom were examples of women who did not let women have eyebrows, so the people praised Wang Suxiu and expected the court to allow women to participate in the selection of imperial merchants.

After Xue Baochai, who was in the Rong Mansion, heard about this, she instantly guessed that it was Lu Jing who was behind the scenes, and she was still wondering why Lu Jing sent a message and asked her to prepare well, and when the time came to represent the Xue family, she understood everything, and she was also a little moved in her heart, and secretly guessed whether Lu Jing had deliberately set up this game for herself, and her mind suddenly became complicated.

Lin Daiyu has been paying attention to this matter, and the plan has gone so smoothly, the worry in her heart has been slightly reduced, and when she heard everyone's praise for Wang Suxiu, she has an indescribable sense of achievement.

In the next two days, there were more challengers to the inn, and even some scholars disguised themselves as businessmen and secretly participated, but in the end they still fled.

Wang Suxiu's fame is wider, and it is no longer limited to the market and businessmen, and many scholars and officialdom have also heard about it, which is surprising.

Although the women in Beijing had mixed opinions about Wang Suxiu's behavior of recruiting a son-in-law and showing up, they all admired his defeat of many men, and many people came to watch the battle in the past two days.

On July 18, the last day of recruitment, there were more participants, many of whom wanted to become famous, but after a day of tossing, they were all defeated.

Just as everyone was about to leave, a eunuch's voice sounded: "The queen has a decree, and the daughter of the Wang family accepts the decree!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly made way out and made room, only to see a leading eunuch slowly entering the inn with four little eunuchs.

The leading eunuch didn't care about everyone at all, came to the Wang father and daughter, and said, "Wang Suxiu takes the order!" ”

Wang Suxiu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect to alarm the queen's mother, so she knelt down and said, "The people's daughter takes the order!" ”

The leading eunuch did not care about his faux pas, and proclaimed: "The mourning family heard that many men have been defeated by you in the past few days, you can be a role model for women, if you can be in the top ten in the preliminary examination selected by the imperial merchants, the mourning family will personally meet and commend you." ”

Wang Suxiu heard the praise of the queen mother, although it was only a few words, but her heart was still excited and difficult to hold back, she took a few deep breaths, and stammered: "The people's daughter Xie Queen Mother." ”

After several eunuchs announced the queen's decree, they did not pay attention to the expressions of everyone, and left the Shangdong Inn, and hurried all the way back to the palace to resume their lives.

Emperor Yuanyong waved his hand to make everyone retreat, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect a small thing to make him make such a big noise!" ”

If Lao Thirteen had known that Lu Jing would make such a big move, it is estimated that he would not have handed over the affairs of the Xue family to him.

When the queen heard this, she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, last time his wife came to visit, the concubine should meet her!" ”

"You didn't see it, but someone did!" Emperor Yuan Yong said with a touch of coldness in his smile.

The queen knew that the emperor was talking about Jia Yuanchun, so she smiled and said, "I heard that Lu Jing's wife is Concubine Jia's cousin?" ”

Emperor Yuan Yong nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”

"Then why would the emperor?" The queen hesitated, in this case, why did the emperor promote Lu Jing.

"Although the Jia family and the Lin family are in-laws, their grievances are not shallow!" Emperor Yuanyong sneered, and then told the queen about the grievances between Mrs. Wang and Jia Min.

"The concubine remembers the last time the woman saw Concubine Jia, although she was not very affectionate, she didn't look like she had a grudge!" The queen was a little surprised when she heard this, and her evaluation of Jia Yuanchun in her heart was even lower, if there is a mother, there must be a daughter, and with such a vicious mother, presumably Jia Yuanchun's heart is not much better.

"I'm afraid she doesn't know about it yet?" Emperor Yuanyong said, guessing in his heart that Lin Ruhai and Lu Jing did not tell Lin Daiyu about this.

The queen nodded, the essence in her eyes flashed, and then took the initiative to talk to Emperor Yuanyong about Jia Baoyu, and sure enough, she didn't say a few words, Emperor Yuanyong's tone was extremely bad, and the queen was busy ending the topic of the Jia family and talking about other things.

Lu Jing didn't expect that the support that the emperor said turned out to be the queen, but the queen's mother had an excellent effect, which would not cause a big controversy, and it could logically promote the matter.

So after consulting with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Department of General Affairs, the next day the Ministry of Internal Affairs posted a notice that if the men in the family could not participate, they could send women to participate in the competition, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs would set up special entrances and exits and examination rooms for women to answer questions, and the invigilators were selected by the queen from the palace.

As soon as this matter was announced, it attracted a lot of opponents, but it did not cause too many twists and turns, although the queen did not interfere in the selection of the imperial merchants, but specially issued a decree to praise Wang Suxiu as a model for women, and her attitude was there, and everyone did not dare to say anything excessive.

Those merchant families headed by women have vetoed the previous fighters, and many of them have decided to go out in person.

After Xue Baochai heard about this, his mood was extremely complicated, and he couldn't guess Lu Jing's purpose for doing this, but he faintly expected Lu Jing to do it for himself.

With this complicated mind in her arms, she found Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, and tried her best to persuade the two of them on the grounds that Xue Pan's injuries had not recovered and Aunt Xue was illiterate, and she tried her best to persuade the two to participate on behalf of the Xue family, and asked Aunt Xue and Xue Pan to hide from the Jia family and not to tell the matter.

Osmanthus Xia's family, Xia Jingui and his mother argued, and finally decided that Xia Jingui would go out in person.

Although Wang Suxiu is only the daughter of a merchant, she has become the envy of many women in Beijing after this incident, and many young ladies of the family fantasize that they can also get rid of the shackles, and they have won the praise of the queen's mother for this achievement.
