The Queen Mother only opened her eyes slightly, and under the lights of the Rising Palace in this winter, she saw that the Queen Mother's beautiful face was accompanied by the gloom of late autumn.

She said lightly: "It's been another year, and the emperor just let people hold it to greet the mourning family, do you know what the mourning family is thinking?" ”

Zhang Jing raised his eyes to look at the Queen Mother and said, "Niangniang must be thinking, if the emperor is the prince of Wuji, how good it would be." ”

The Queen Mother smiled, but smiled a little reluctantly: "Wuji...... How is he now?"

Zhang Jing said: "Slave maid...... Don't dare to dig deeper. “

Yes, I'm afraid that someone will notice it, which is the biggest danger!

The Queen Mother's jaw: "Is there any change in King Zhao?" ”

Zhang Jing was silent for a moment before he said, "Just in case." King Zhao was very vigilant about the slave's every move, and the slave was worried that once King Zhao became suspicious, His Royal Highness's life would be difficult to protect. ”

"yes." The Queen Mother's melancholy turned into a wave of resentment, her eyes were like the cold air of this winter, and she said: "His son has now become the Ninety-Five, and the son of the mourning family is now ...... Scold...... Hehe...... What a King of Zhao, he has harmed the mourning family for thirteen years, thirteen years, at this time of year, the heart of the mourning family is like a knife. ”

Zhang Jing's eyes couldn't help but redden, why wasn't he like this? After thirteen years of searching, if he doesn't find Prince Wuji again, I'm afraid he will have to look for it again.

He kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "Fortunately, God has eyes, and the mother has a little patience." The slave maid heard that the township test was about to begin. ”

The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "Huh? ”

Zhang Jing cautiously raised his eyes and said, "Prince Wuji is already a talented person, and he wants to participate in the township examination after the beginning of spring." He is unique, maybe this time there is a chance to go to high school, if so, then he should enter Beijing next year to try, and when he comes to Beijing, Niangniang...... Maybe you'll have a chance to meet him. ”

Yes, if you take the initiative to send someone forward, once the matter is leaked, how can King Zhao's city not think of the secret behind it? And once it is known, the world will be in chaos.

Think about it, Da Chen already has an emperor, and now there is a crown prince who was the first emperor, and this person is the blood of the queen mother, so ...... What will happen?

King Zhao will definitely be killed, and all his henchmen in the locality, in the army, and in the court, including those who support him, will also carry out a crazy attack desperately.

But since he can't take the initiative to get in touch, what if Prince Wuji can take the high school township test?

After winning the township test, he will enter the Luoyang School Palace, and at that time, is the Queen Mother afraid that she will not find the opportunity to meet her son?

"Really?" The Queen Mother's lonely eyes suddenly became a little more colorful, and she said, "Can he really go to high school?" ”

Zhang Jingdao: "Perhaps...... Yes. ”

He didn't dare to pack the ticket, so he turned to say: "This time, according to the ancestral system, the invigilator Zheng Wen has been selected to go to Jinling to invigilate, the slave maid for the sake of prudence, dare not reveal anything to him, in addition, there is also the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites Zhang Jian, after this year, it will be pre-filed in Jinling to preside over the township test, the slave is not worried about this Zheng Wen, Zheng Wen this slave, although he is greedy for money, but he can't afford to make any waves, only that Zhang Jian, this person ......"

"This person has always been loyal to the emperor?"

"Yes." Zhang Jingdao: "I'm afraid that he will be disgusted with Prince Wuji, so the slave ......"

"Got it." The Queen Mother calmed down at this time: "He is an examiner, do you dare to act because of your likes and dislikes?" What's more, the township test has always been a vague name, even if he wants to judge by his likes and dislikes, I am afraid that it will be difficult, although he is the main examiner, but he is not the only one, you don't have to worry. ”

"Yes, yes, it's the minion who wants to go wrong."

At this time, the Queen Mother stood up, Zhang Jing was busy trying to help her, she waved her sleeves slightly, and Zhang Jing hurriedly retreated.

The Queen Mother walked barefoot in this dormitory paved with copper bricks, and at this time it was freezing cold, Zhang Jing couldn't help frowning: "Niangniang should take care of her body." ”

Under her feet, there was a coldness, this biting chill, but the Queen Mother was unconscious, and her embroidered eyebrows condensed slightly: "Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Xian bless, Kai Yi will definitely be able to go to high school." ”

The Queen Mother is a woman after all, and she always believes in this dark thing, and Zhang Jing also said with a straight face: "Yes, Emperor Taizu Gao and the first emperor will definitely bless His Royal Highness the prince safe and sound, and bless him to be able to go to high school in one fell swoop." ”

The moonlight is like a hook, with a bit of coldness. This tragic moonlight, sneaking into the dormitory through the doors and windows of the dormitory, the queen mother's crystal clear bare feet stepped under this touch of moonlight, at this moment, she is like Chang'e in the Gui Palace, although it is in this year's season, it should be a noisy moment, but the queen mother's body is a little more poignant.

………………

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Kaizhi went to Xun's house with a gift, and saw Xun You, Xun You seemed to be very happy, and the most surprising thing for Chen Kaizhi was that there were no traces of bruises on his face.

Chen Kaizhi bowed, then put down the gift, and then said, "I don't know if my aunt is there?" ”

"Ahem......" Chen Kaizhi's voice fell, and he heard a crisp cough, Xun's mother came out of the inner room gracefully, and said, "Kaizhi, you are going to take the exam, but ...... I heard outsiders say, your test number is Ding Wu? Ah, who have you offended, and who have you been framed like this? ”

Ay...... Sure enough, everyone in Jinling knows it.

Chen Kaizhi saluted Xun's mother: "Students have always been kind and have not offended anyone. ”

"Who said that?" Xun's mother glanced at Chen Kai meaningfully: "I'm clairvoyant and obedient ears, at the end of the year, Eunuch Zheng was beaten, but many people know that Bao Zhifu has a temperament like fire, according to his temperament, there is no room for sand in his eyes, but he will not be awkward with the envoy for no reason, okay, it's a big year, don't mention these frustrating words first, but you are only afraid that it will be difficult to get into this time, if you take the test again after three years......"

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but think in his heart, is this Ding Wu's examination shed really so terrible? Not really......

But although Chen Kaizhi doesn't believe that an examination booth can greatly affect a candidate's performance, everyone is now conclusive, as if Chen Kaizhi has been sentenced to death.

Chen Kaizhi just laughed, and did not talk deeply, but changed the topic: "How much refined salt can the workshop produce now?" ”

When Xun's mother said this, she suddenly became like a few treasures: "Now you can drag nine thousand catties of salt from the salt field every month, and the refined salt produced is roughly around six or seven thousand catties, the three major salt merchants, now the sales of refined salt are huge, and the price is mentioned again and again, but it is still sold out, after all, this is Jinling, it is a rich place, and even the nearby state capital heard the news, and some salt merchants there also purchased from the three major salt merchants, so these three salt merchants no longer plan to sell coarse salt, specializing in selling refined salt, and they dragged out the coarse salt from the salt field. They were all sent to our workshop, so that our refined salt workshop could be processed, and the old man was thinking, after a few years, we would have to buy some more house slaves, and the output would have to increase a little more. ”

Chen Kaizhi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that his income will increase a lot in the future, now learn this "Wenchang Map", according to the prescription of Emperor Taizu Gao, more and more precious medicinal materials are needed, and even bathing requires many precious medicinal materials to be thrown into the bath bucket.

This kind of luxury made Chen Kaizhi want to give up a little at times, and he even had a big question, when the original Taizu didn't seem to have won the world, he had already begun to study Wenchang Tu, so where did he get such a huge wealth to supply his 'cultivation'?

Chen Kaizhi urgently needed money now, but at this time, he couldn't show it, he said to Xun's mother: "It's good that aunt has arranged it properly." ”

Xun Mu nodded, although she was talking about business, she was also observing Chen Kaizhi carefully.

When it comes to the sale of refined salt, Chen Kaizhi is still like autumn water, as if he is not careless, and Xun's mother can't help but be amazed in her heart.

This kid, where does he look like a kid from a poor background? It's clearly the son of a noble family!

His bearing is extraordinary, although the conversation in his mouth is coppery, there is no wave on his face, and he does not even have half a trace of greed.

It's like ...... What kind of good life did he live in the past, people inexplicably feel that such a person seems to have food and clothing, all of which are exquisite, otherwise he is really from a poor background, how can he not be moved?

How did Xun's mother know that Chen Kaizhi was a human being in two lives, and his vision was already much higher, he had already foreseen the huge profits of refined salt in the future, how could he feel surprising when he was already expecting? And making money is only to temporarily satisfy him to learn Wenchangtu, and his natural life can also be improved one or two, but if he has any greed, it will not be.

After chatting for a while, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but pluck up his courage and said, "I don't know if Ya'er is there?" ”

Xun Mu smiled and said, "She? Ha...... I was so confused that I forgot to tell you that she had set off for Huating years ago. ”

Huating?

Chen Kaizhi remembered that Huating was a county, hundreds of miles away from Jinling, where it was close to the sea, but he didn't know why Xun Ya went there for the New Year?

Xun's mother had already seen Chen Kaizhi's question, so she said: "That is the ancestral home of our Xun family, all unmarried children should go there to pay homage to their ancestors, don't you know?" ”

My surname is Chen, not Xun, how do I know?

However, Chen Kaizhi probably also knows that the Xun family is a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, such a family background is scattered, Jinling is just a branch of the Xun family, the ancients have a strong clan concept, the patriarchal law is strict, and the patriarchy of each family is also different.

Seeing Xun Ya again, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart, and his interest was a lot less, so he had to say: "Then the student should go and pay homage to the teacher." ”

Xun's mother bowed her jaw and gave Xun You a look, Xun You realized something, and hurriedly said: "Kaizhi, the old man will send you." ”

Chen Kaizhi hurriedly humbled and said: "Don't dare." ”

After that, Chen Kaizhi thanked Xun You for his kindness, and since he came out of Xun's house, he went directly to visit Mr. Fang.
