A month later.

Song Fusheng's Jinshi friends.

Some are changing cups with local officials, and since they came to office, they have been welcoming all kinds of meetings.

Some cars were loaded with heavy gifts and were rushing to the homes of their superiors to visit each other's parents.

Sitting in the car, I was still thinking in my heart, where individual superiors want to use Mrs. diplomacy, how to tell Mrs. when I turn around.

Some of them sat in front of the candles, with a pile of account books on the table, and were working with the master they hired to bring with them, and Zen Jing tried his best to find out the local situation.

Some have even just arrived at the place and are unloading the truck, ready to settle the bill for Maxima and let people go back.

However, due to the relationship with Song Fusheng, basically after arriving at the place, the young men of the transport team will stay in the local area for a day and rest their legs.

Not only was the money given for transporting, but also some dry food was prepared for the return.

In a small narrow alley in the capital.

There are only four families living here, and Yang Mingyuan's house is in the innermost small courtyard.

Every inch of land in the capital is valuable.

The Yang family bought this yard and bought 17 acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing, basically empty.

Mother Yang originally wanted to sell the house in her hometown so that she could be more relaxed.

She knew that Mingyuan wanted to learn to ride a horse, and wanted to buy a horse for her, make a carriage, and let the little girl go back and forth to send the child to Hanlin Courtyard to save face, right? You see, everybody has a car. When resting, unload the carriage and go horseback riding.

In the past, the family purchased a mule cart for the eldest son and daughter-in-law to travel back and forth between the house and the field.

However, Yang Mingyuan refused.

He didn't want to sell the house that his father had purchased, and he felt that it was nothing to walk, and the house he bought was so expensive because it was close to the Hanlin Courtyard.

Therefore, in the entire Hanlin Academy, his colleagues include Ding Jian, and Lu Pan's second brother-in-law, all of whom are sons with this kind of identity, and Yang Mingyuan is the poorest one.

Every day, others rode horses and cars, Yang Mingyuan walked back, followed by a young scholar to carry a bookbox, and the master and servant duo often had to go to the market to buy some meat, salt and other things to bring home.

Every time he rested, others called friends for a party, and Yang Mingyuan would refuse even if someone else offered an olive branch to invite him.

The big and small things in the Gaomen Mansion, he pretended not to know and didn't participate.

If you want to say that Yang Mingyuan is willing to spend money.

One is his own nephew. He spent a lot of money to arrange for him to enter the best enlightenment school in the capital.

One is to visit the new homes of several Jinshi who stayed in Kyoto in the Mukden area, and the gifts in their hands are no worse than others.

provoked those people to complain about him, saying that we know your situation, we all have the help of the clan, you don't, and you just settled down and bought land, why do you have to spend so much.

The last one is the people of the Song Jiu clan who came to the capital of Maxima, so he will buy some chicken, duck and fish meat, and let the old lady make it at home, and he will send it.

Every seven days, Mingyuan would take the time to go to the dart bureau to have a look, hoping to receive Song Fusheng's letter, but he never received it.

The situation of this Yang Zhuangyuan is seen by many officials with a heart.

As the seat teacher of this imperial examination, Master Meng thought that he should ask the new champion to come to the mansion to sit, and the more he observed, the more he found that Yang Mingyuan had a temper with him and had the intention of supporting.

I took a fancy to this student and was still the same as before the imperial examination, and I heard that every day the yamen carried the books borrowed from the Hanlin Academy, and he read books without anything in the yamen, so he could calm down and do his studies.

However, the new champion never responded, once or twice, Master Meng felt that the old face could not be hung up.

After that, some officials of the Hanlin Academy began to ridicule Yang Mingyuan, intentionally or unintentionally, with such words:

Our new champion recognized the teacher with good intentions, and I wanted to be an apprentice grandson by the side, but he was never called to the inner room, (the inner room is the place that is qualified to accompany the emperor) How can the real apprentice grandson do chores?

Hehe, the real protégé of the Son of Heaven is in Huining as a six-pin magistrate, if he had been left in the Hanlin Academy, he would have been called in by the emperor a long time ago.

There are a lot of similar words.

Disagree with the name of Yang Mingyuan's champion.

thinks that Yang Mingyuan is Song Fusheng, who has the talent of the champion, and he is where he is today.

As for the emperor, he did not use the new champion, but first used Ding Jian, who was half a level lower than Yang Mingyuan.

In fact, the emperor took into account Ding Jian's background and wanted to see how the family was, so he put the champion aside and used Tanhua.

This provokes more gossip on the champion.

To put it bluntly, the Yang family has no background, all aspects are too poor, the more they understand, the more they despise it, and some people don't even care about it, and ask directly on Yang Mingyuan's face: "Yang Zhuangyuan, don't rush down, let's have a competition?" My father and Lord Meng are old friends, so I can ask Lord Meng to review the file for the two of us. ”

Yang Mingyuan replied every time he encountered such a thing, his mother had just come to the capital, he was not familiar with the road, and it was easy to get lost, so he wanted to go down to the government to buy vegetables, and he had no time to accompany him.

Ding Jian, who was admitted from the Fengtian area, because he knew that Song Fusheng took good care of Yang Mingyuan, he never participated in the topic of "bullying champions", and he was proud, so there was no need.

Lu Pan's second brother-in-law also did not participate.

The second brother-in-law thinks that don't look at Yang Mingyuan as the champion and his colleague, his own official position is not high, but his family is high.

If he stepped on the field, it would be too unstylish, and he would disdain it in his heart.

Therefore, when Song Fusheng was in the dark of Huining, Yang Mingyuan developed much slower than he imagined, and he was still picking vegetables in the back garden.

"Uncle, how can you pick vegetables."

"Sister-in-law, why can't I," Mingyuan stood up with half a frame of eggplant and smiled.

"Hey, you are the pillar of our family, you are the champion, and you hurt the hand holding the pen. Besides, don't do it, someone from the front yard, Boss Guo of the dart game. ”

……

"Brother Guo, have you eaten, come into the hospital to wash your hands and eat."

"Mingyuan, if you don't go in, I'm going to rush back to the dart to make arrangements, and I'll return to Fengtian before dawn tomorrow. I came here to look for you, because I want to ask you to stay in Beijing. ”

"You say, I'll do it."

"Help find a relationship and put down a façade in those bustling streets in the capital.

This capital is too difficult, it is difficult to spend money to buy a storefront, and all of them are covered by those high doors.

If the transaction is not good, it will not be cashed, and people are not bad for money. ”

If Xiao Quanzi is here, Guo Lao will find a way to ask Quanzi to help.

But Quanzi is not in Beijing, and then begging the Lu family for such a trivial matter, isn't it.

I just wanted to ask Mingyuan how many of them stayed in Beijing.

"What to do with the façade, is it convenient for Brother Guo to speak?"

"There's nothing inconvenient to talk about, be busy with Huining, hang a plaque, Huining's specialty, the store doesn't have to be very big, but it must be in a good location, this is what your Uncle Song asked in his letter."

That night, Yang Mingyuan studied with the Jinshi who stayed in Beijing and found that the difficulties were the same as those of Boss Guo. The shops on those bustling streets are all behind this and that.

It's good to say in the field, and I'm not afraid of a high background, and I know it now.

But in the capital, there are many relatives of the emperor.

On the second day, before the Hanlin Academy was about to go down, the provocative one came again to test his knowledge.

Everyone thought that Yang Mingyuan would avoid the edge in the name of buying vegetables again, but they didn't want Yang Zhuangyuan to respond today.

And Ding Jian and Lu Pan's second brother-in-law were stunned when they heard it.

Because Yang Zhuangyuan said in front of everyone, since you can't wait, you must have a lottery. I don't know if there is a spare shop at the front door of your house, he wants to win the lease.

"You?"

"Good!"

"Don't do it yet, but then tell me, how much money can you rent me? It can't be too high. ”

caused all the civil officials of the Hanlin Academy to show disdainful expressions, and even Lu Pan's second brother-in-law couldn't hold back, the money was money, and the vulgarity was unbearable.

Three days later, in a fair, just and open way, Master Meng used the lunch break to judge the paper with several colleagues, and the answer was revealed under the expectation of everyone in the Hanlin Academy.

Yang Mingyuan won.

The emperor knew about this, and Yang Mingyuan was also summoned into the inner room after Ding Jian.

began to help the emperor sort out the folds sent from all over the country.

And in his spare time, the emperor stopped writing and suddenly asked Yang Mingyuan about the gambling contract.

"The minister is terrified, and he always borrows light from Song Zhixian."

And what is swirling in the emperor's mind is: Huining specialty?

In other words, before the special products were delivered, and Song Fusheng's excerpts were not handed over, the emperor already knew that there would be a shop in Huining in the capital.

At the same time, Mukden, this time everyone is packing together.

I can't wait for the autumn harvest, and Fusheng needs them.
