When the various major events that happened before gradually subsided, while the people of the capital were living as usual, more and more people began to pay attention to Princess Yanfang's marriage.

First, Princess Yanfang is the first princess who is about to marry in this dynasty, and secondly, Master Ma is the second grandson of the famous Duke An Guo, with a noble status.

The combination of the two can be described as a perfect match.

From the day the candidate for the concubine was announced, the Holy Lord ordered the Ministry of Industry to build the princess's mansion as the official residence of Princess Yanfang after she got married.

In order to build this princess's mansion, the saint can be said to have invested a lot of money.

All kinds of good materials are used, and there are many rockeries and strange stones in the house, and even a huge amount of money is spent to plant a maple forest, just because Princess Yanfang has liked maple trees since she was a child.

The entire princess mansion is expected to take a year from design to completion, during which the saint thought that the progress of the Ministry of Works was too slow, and also asked several imperial merchants who specialized in providing stone and wood for the imperial tomb to join in, allowing them to mobilize skilled craftsmen from other places to assist in the construction, and be sure to build the princess mansion before the princess's wedding.

Judging from the importance of building the princess's mansion alone, it is enough to see the saint's fatherly heart for Princess Yanfang.

Generally speaking, this princess's mansion will be the place where Princess Yanfang will live for the rest of her life after leaving the palace.

As a princess, she naturally doesn't need to live in her husband's house like an ordinary married woman, and she doesn't need to ask her in-laws and fathers every day to say goodbye or settle down in the morning and dusk.

At most, it is enough to take a day or two every month or go back to the mansion to salute the elders during the festival, and the elders in the mansion do not even dare to let her perform the full salute.

After all, she is the bloodline of the Heavenly Family, representing the face of the Heavenly Family, and no one dares to put an elder in front of her.

Some favored princesses in history even raised all kinds of noodles outside, and their horses were helpless at all, and they lived a wanton and willful life.

Just to build a princess mansion is so expensive, I don't know how much Princess Yanfang's dowry will be.

For this reason, all the people are looking forward to seeing the grand occasion of ten miles of red makeup with their own eyes on the day of the princess's wedding.

Of course, not everyone is interested in this matter, and Chi Fei is one of them.

He is now busy waiting for the end of the serialization of "Rebirth" in the literary newspaper to start publishing a new book, where is the time to pay attention to things that have nothing to do with him.

Serialized along with the new book, there is also Lan Qing's new work.

As always, Lan Qing's new book is also the heroine's essay, which has almost become her unique style.

She had already written it, but she waited for Chi Fei to come back and refused to publish it.

After hearing that Chi Fei was going to start publishing a new book after the serialization of "Rebirth", she chose to publish a new work with Chi Fei without hesitation.

In this way, the literary newspaper has two new books serialized at the same time, which should be able to become popular again.

After living in the newspaper dormitory for so long, and eating and drinking with the children in the printing house every day, she now completely regarded herself as a member of the newspaper, and only hoped that the newspaper would get better and better.

In addition to preparing for the serialization of new books, there is another thing that Chi Fei is more concerned about, and that is this year's examination.

Before the Great Wei Dynasty, the examinations of all dynasties were held in February, so they were also called spring examinations or spring examinations.

In order to prevent anyone from cheating, all test takers can only enter the venue in single clothes.

February is also a colder time, which leads to many test subjects falling ill due to cold every year.

Since Wei Taizu established the country, in order to sympathize with the students who participated in the examination, the examination was held in October, just two months after the township examination.

In this way, the test takers can avoid being exposed to the cold, and it is also convenient for the test takers who have participated in the township test to come to the capital to participate in the test.

Wei Taizu's benevolent policy was welcomed by many scholars and has been used to this day.

Originally, the imperial examination had nothing to do with Chi Fei's eight-pole work, but this time it was a little different, because his friend Jian Shuqi also participated in this year's examination.

Chi Fei remembered that Jian Shuqi had said before that he did not plan to participate in this session.

He was not afraid that he would not be able to pass the test, but that he was afraid that if he did not take the test, his ranking would be too bad, and he would end up as a fellow jinshi.

Those who know about the imperial examination know that although the same jinshi is also a jinshi, it is naturally one level lower than the jinshi within the second grade, so there is a saying that the same jinshi is like a wife.

A person with a high heart like Jian Shuqi is willing to suffer this kind of anger, so he plans to study hard for three years and then come back to the exam.

But I don't know which tendon he pulled, and suddenly changed his mind and insisted on participating in this year's examination.

Chi Fei was originally not optimistic about how well he could do in the exam, after all, he himself said so.

But what surprised Chi Fei was that this guy was not only admitted, but also appointed as Tanhua by the saint after passing the temple examination, ranking third in the first class.

After the rankings were announced, the routine was the grand scene of these new science and technology scholars crossing the streets.

At this time, almost all the people in the capital will go to watch.

The so-called fame in one fell swoop is the proudest and most beautiful moment for the students of the cold window.

As a friend of Jian Shuqi, of course Chi Fei also went to see it.

Among the many new scholars, Jianshuqi is definitely the most dazzling.

First of all, he is the third place Tanhua, and of course he is at the head of the team.

The champion and the list next to him, one is a middle-aged uncle in his forties, and the other is not young, and he looks about thirty years old.

Only he, a tanhualang, is only in his early twenties, not only handsome, but also full of luxury. It was all over the place at once.

This kind of talented, good-looking and well-born noble son is simply a character who came out of the book, and almost instantly conquered the hearts of many unmarried girls.

Countless maidens threw sachets or flowers at him, hoping that he would look back at them.

However, Jian Shuqi always maintained a moderate smile, a calm bearing, and a degree of advance and retreat, which made people even more impressed by him.

Almost in just one day, the three words "Jianshu Chess" have become the most talked about name among many boudoir ladies.

Chi Fei originally thought that Jian Shuqi would be busy dealing with various socials recently, and it was estimated that it would be a long time before he could see him.

But I didn't expect that only three days later, this guy came to the newspaper office to look for him.

Chi Fei received him in the inner hall of the newspaper office, and after the two sides sat down, Chi Fei first congratulated him, "Although you may be a little annoyed to hear this sentence these days, I still congratulate you on being admitted to Jinshi." This is a big step closer to your goal, congratulations. ”

Jian Shuqi didn't seem too happy, but smiled a little bitterly: "To be honest, I don't feel very happy. ”

"Why?"

"Because I can't win. Ah Zhen, you are my best friend, and I don't want to hide it from you.

The reason why I changed my mind to take this year's examination is actually related to my family's affairs.

My father has a favorite concubine, this woman is insidious and cunning, relying on my father's favor, often resorting to all kinds of subterfuge to harm my mother and me.

I ran away from home before because of her.

As for my father, he is a confused worm who has been led by that woman for many years, and he almost spoiled his concubine and killed his wife.

I don't know how many people laughed at him behind his back, and he didn't know it at all. It's a wonder to be a man who does his job. ”

Speaking of this, a contemptuous sneer appeared on Jian Shuqi's face, as if he was not talking about his biological father, but a stranger.
