"Shut up, what are you talking about, the fourth young lady and His Royal Highness are also what you can discuss?"

Qiao Sanniang scolded the maidservant, the maid showed grievances, Qiao Sanniang said with a straight face: "Why can I be the fourth princess, it is because the mother and His Royal Highness are afraid that the fourth sister will be wronged by other women, if I become the fourth princess, I will also be wronged by the fourth sister, and the mother and His Royal Highness will not spare me, and I will be ashamed myself." You have also served me for so many years, if you are not in the right position, I will not dare to take you to marry the prince's mansion in the future! ”

The maidservant immediately knelt on the ground and confessed her mistake.

Qiao Sanniang didn't scream, it seemed that she was killing chickens and monkeys, and making the people around her increase their memory.

What happened to Qiao Sanniang's side, Qiao Yingzhen and the four princes didn't know, but they were looked at by the inner supervisor who followed the four princes out of the palace, and after the four princes left Qiao's mansion, the inner eunuch told the four princes about 1510.

The four princes were noncommittal:

"Let's see."

The ladies in the palace are very good at acting, and they can't wait to let each other die, and they can still call their sisters and sisters affectionately.

Although the fourth prince agreed with Qiao Sanniang to be the concubine, he did not trust Qiao Sanniang 100% now.

Virtuous and generous can be pretended, if he doesn't send someone to keep an eye on it, it will be too late to wait for Yingzhen's cousin to suffer a loss.

However, thinking of Concubine Ning's method of teaching him to appease his wife and concubine, the four princes still remembered it in their hearts.

Since this day, the fourth prince sent someone to send something to Qiao Yingzhen, and he would also bring a copy to Qiao Sanniang.

This is the heart that the fourth prince is willing to spend for Qiao Sanniang.

As for seeing one and loving one, it really hasn't happened to the four princes for the time being, he is a dignified son, how can he have so much time to talk about love, it's enough to have a Qiao Yingzhen!

The four princes had already thought of a way to get close to Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing is really busy over there.

On the second day after the ceremony, Cheng Qing had to go to the Ministry of Rites to participate in the 'Enrong Banquet' as the champion, which was similar to the 'Luming Banquet' after the township examination, which was a banquet celebrated by the imperial court for the new scholars.

However, the level of the Enrong banquet was higher, not only more than 300 new science and technology scholars would participate, but all the courtiers who contributed to the palace examination would also show up.

In other words, from the first assistant to the Hanlin, they will all appear at the Enrong banquet, and the new science and technology scholars are naturally very yearning.

This is the first time that the new branch jinshi has entered the officialdom to communicate, and he can still talk to the first assistant at the banquet, and it will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future.

Early in the morning, Cui Yan and Zhou Heng came to find Cheng Qing, plus Dong Jinqiu, and the four of them made an appointment to go to the banquet.

After yesterday's ceremony, Cui Yan and Zhou Heng were so excited that they didn't fall asleep all night.

Cui Yan was thinking about when to pick up his parents and sister to Beijing.

What Zhou Heng was thinking about was the marriage contract with Cui Wuniang.

Xiaojing officials have to stay up for a few years before they have a chance to come out slowly, Zhou Heng also wants to take the Hanlin Academy's Shu Jishi, if he can't pass the Shu Jishi, he has to go to the yamen to "watch the government", and the government is equivalent to an internship, and the imperial court will conduct an assessment after two or three months, and those who pass can really be awarded an official position - a second-class jinshi like Zhou Heng can't enter the Hanlin Academy, probably what is the imperial history, the main thing, the right seven Beijing officials such as the middle of the matter.

Cui Yan and Zhou Heng both have similar prospects, and there are only two choices in front of the two: the Kao Han Lin Academy's Jishi and the early appointment of officials to distribute each yamen.

No matter what kind of future they have, both of them are poor Beijing officials.

It is difficult to support a large family in the capital by relying on Yulu, and it is inevitable to use the family funds.

Cui Yan is a middle jinshi, the lintel of Cui's house has been changed, but unfortunately it was done by Cui Peng before, and Cui Yan has no family background here - this poor child doesn't know that his father and mother sleep with half a room of gold bricks every day, and now he thinks about whether he can support his parents and sister.

The two didn't sleep all night, Cui Yan still wanted to take his father and sister to the capital, and he didn't watch under his eyelids, for fear that Cui Peng would make a mistake.

Zhou Heng didn't decide whether to pick up his family or not, but he knocked on Cui Yan's door early in the morning, brought up the old things, and talked about the marriage contract with Cui Wuniang.

Anyway, he decided to marry Cui Wuniang as his wife, if Cui Yan didn't marry Wuniang to him, he must have other plans.

Zhou Heng suspected that Cui Yan wanted to marry his sister into a high gate, or give it to a powerful person as a concubine or something, Cui Yan also knew that Zhou Heng was a radical general, and still couldn't help but beat Zhou Heng:

"Marry, I'll write a letter to my parents, let them take Wu Niang, and then pull Wu Niang's dowry to Beijing!"

Zhou Heng didn't mind being beaten either.

Being beaten by the eldest brother is not called beating, it is called the care of the eldest brother.

When Cheng Qing saw Zhou Heng, he obviously felt that he was very happy.

Cheng Qing thought that Zhou Hengzhong was very happy, and Zhou Heng himself couldn't help but announce the good news, "Xiaolang, Brother Dong, you must come early to drink the wedding wine when the time comes." ”

Cui Yan rolled his eyes beside him.

This is Zhou Hengsheng afraid that he will regret it, so he hurriedly announced the good news.

Only then did Cheng Qing understand the reason why Zhou Heng was happy.

"Your marriage with Miss Cui has also dragged on long enough, but after the big Dengke, the small Dengke, double happiness is coming, and I congratulate you in advance!"

Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.

In the past, others laughed at Zhou Heng as Cui Yan's follower, saying that Zhou Heng was just the silver of the Cui family.

In fact, Cui Yan not only funded Zhou Heng, but also studied together in Nanyi Academy for three years, participated in the county examination together, won the examination together, and entered the Beijing examination together.

Cui Yan picked Zhou Heng's funding, and without waiting for Zhou Heng to be a big official to escort the Cui family's family wealth, he lost those family wealth first.

But he found himself a reliable brother-in-law, and this business is a big profit in Cheng Qing's opinion!

On the way to the banquet in the Ministry of Rites, Dong Jinqiu got together with Zhou Heng and said that he wanted to teach some experience to Zhou Heng.

Cheng Qing said something else to Cui Yan: "You have been worried about falling into the top three before, and you are not sure whether you will stay in the capital, so you live in the guild hall with Zhou Heng, now you are all at ease, do you have to find a tooth shop to pick a suitable house, even if it is rented, you must have a fixed place to live." ”

The Cui and Zhou families are going to get married.

Zhou Heng wants to marry a wife, and most of Cui Yan's parents also want to live in Beijing for a long time, and if they go to Beijing to take the exam, they can live in the hall, how can there be a reason to squeeze the hall with their families.

Cui Yan nodded, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Cheng Qing asked him if he could still take advantage of the silver in his hand, Cui Yan smiled: "You are worried about what I have done, there are still three catties of nails in the rotten ship, and I also brought a lot of silver with me to go to Beijing to take the exam, and it is more than enough to find a house to settle down." ”

The Cui family's wealth was left to Cui Peng, but at that time, Mrs. Cui and Cui Wuniang were allowed to take away the fine soft, and Master Cui and Mrs. Cui were not the kind of misers.

In addition to the entanglement in Beijing, I was really admitted to the Jinshi, and there are only many places to spend money.

They are all second-class jinshi, and there must be good and bad when awarding official positions.

If you don't give the gift to the place, why should people leave the good and the real lack to Cui Yan, and because he is handsome?

- Although Cui Yan is indeed handsome after losing weight, he is not handsome enough to eat!
