When Liu's brother Liu Min arrived in Tongzhou, it was not yet noon. Jin Chao is accompanying his grandmother to deal with things in Shixian Building.

Her grandmother told her about Ji's dowry shops: "...... You are young, and you are still in the boudoir, these things can't be managed, so you can take out a few percent of the dividends, and you can do a good job of those gold and silver buildings, silk shops, paper mills, restaurants, etc. ”

Jin Chao also has this intention, some shops do not have much income, but they are very troublesome, she is powerless to manage it.

My grandmother sent two stewards of the grange to her from her subordinates, one was sent to Xianghe Lingbi, and the other went to the Grange in Gujing Township, Wuqing, which had been losing money for many years. The management of the grange is mostly based on the sky, and it is empty talk without experience.

When things were almost over, Mother Song came over and said that Liu Min had arrived at Ji's house, and Uncle Ji was talking to him.

Ji Wu was very happy and said to Jin Chao: "...... You can also go and see, it is also boring to accompany me here all day. Jin Chao thought to himself that this was nothing, and when they ate the feast that caught the wind and washed the dust, it would be good to avoid it himself. followed Ji Wu to the West Cross Courtyard.

Mother Song said this Liu Min on the way: "...... I brought a lot of things from Hebei, a few big bags of hazelnuts, stewed Caohe donkey meat, and Zanhuang golden silk jujubes...... Two wagons were loaded to the brim. He is also a very caring person! ”

Ji Wu said with a smile: "The Liu family has deep roots in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is nothing in Beizhili. He definitely wanted to curry favor with the Ji family...... "Marry the Liu family to their family, isn't it also the idea of fighting." Otherwise, how could these people in Jiangnan, who claim to be famous nobles, want to marry the family of Shangjia. Fortunately, Ji Yun is still promising, and he passed the exam, otherwise the Liu family would have been even more unable to figure it out.

Liu Min drank tea in the flower hall of the Ji family, Ji Yun and Ji Cang came, An Songhuai even wanted to pull Chen Xuanqing to join in the fun, Chen Xuanqing was a little helpless, but unfortunately he couldn't refuse because he was too good to refuse, and followed An Songhuai to drink a stomach of tea. I saw Uncle Ji, Liu Min and Ji Yun talking.

Although Liu Min is a scholar, he is very tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Hearing that Ji Yun won the exam, he was very happy, and asked Ji Yun what the question was in the exam and how he answered.

Ji Yun said: "The Four Books are about "Mencius" and "The Mean......", but he didn't want to elaborate.

Liu Min smiled and asked: "Mencius" said: From Yao and Shun to the soup, more than 500 years old, if Yu Gao Tao Tao, so he can see and hear those who know, can he get it? "Mencius" also said that Yiyin Le Yao Shun way; "The Mean" says, Zhong Ni Zushu Yao Shun, Fu Yi Yin's Happiness, and Zhu Ni's Ancestor Shu, are they similar to those who know and know? Tell me what to say...... Did you take this question, how did you solve it? ”

He had already read Shiwen! Ji Yun could only stubbornly answer: "The way of Yao and Shun is a prosperous age. The sage of Confucius got it for his hard work. ”

Liu Min frowned, as if he was not very satisfied, and said, "The prosperous era after Yao Shun is not bad. Could it be that it is just the way of Yao Shun that is desirable? If the examiner asks you that, how would you answer? ”

Ji Yun was sweating profusely, the questions of this year's township exam were already more difficult than usual, his knowledge was only in general, how could he resist such a question from the two Jinshi! can only beg for mercy and look at An Songhuai next to him, An Songhuai thought that he couldn't stand Liu Min, and turned his head when he didn't see it.

Uncle Ji couldn't interject, he just lifted people.

Ji Yun's eyes turned to Chen Xuanqing, looking pitiful. Chen Xuanqing didn't want to help, but seeing that Ji Yun was being bullied by this two-list jinshi at a loss, he also sighed and got up, and arched his hand: "Yi Yin Le Yao Shun's way, the heart is virtuous, and the poor are the same." The way of Yao Shun is what all the saints want to achieve, but the way to achieve the avenue is different, and it is the way of Yao Shun. ”

Liu Min was a little surprised, and then he also got up and said, "...... I have read this craft, dare to ask Your Excellency is Chen Xuanqing? ”

He knew that Ji Yunqiu was in Qiu this year, so he specially looked for Shi Wen from Beizhili to read, and admired Chen Xuanqing's craftsmanship very much, and felt that although he was the third place, his talent was not inferior to the first two. I thought that my knowledge was so good, I should be a middle-aged person.

Unexpectedly, standing in front of him was such an elegant young man, although he was thin, he was about the same size as him, and he looked even taller.

Chen Xuanqing nodded, and Liu Min was like a treasure: "I read your craftsmanship, but I appreciate it very much!" I didn't expect to see you here. He rubbed his hands very happily, "When I saw the question, I thought of another way to solve the problem, but it is not as subtle as yours!" Ha ha...... You have to tell me in detail, there are some things I still don't understand in that craft! ”

He is a two-rank jinshi, and it is incredible that he can treat a person like this. Seeing Liu Min pulling Chen Xuanqing to speak, Ji Yun quietly breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Chen Xuanqing today, his brother-in-law would be able to let him shed his skin.

When Ji Wu brought Gu Jinchao over, Liu Min was still discussing with Chen Xuanqing with his eyebrows.

Rao is Chen Xuanqing has a calm personality, and he was also a little embarrassed by Liu Min's enthusiasm, but fortunately when he saw Ji Wu's coming, he coughed and stepped aside, and several people saluted Ji Wu's.

Ji Wu smiled and asked what they were talking about, and Liu Min arched his hand and said, "...... The son of the Chen family, the craftsmanship is so good, I think there is no problem to participate in the Spring Festival next year! ”

Ji Wu said: "This is natural, he is the son of the third master of the Wanping Chen family, and the tiger father has no dog." ”

Liu Min was even more surprised, he knew that Chen Xuanqing's name was still seen in the text, but he didn't expect it to be Chen Sanye's son...... No wonder the body is wearing a muslin straight jacket, the average rich and noble people like Shu brocade and Hangzhou silk, but they don't know that this inconspicuous muslin is even more comfortable and valuable.

Gu Jinchao glanced at Chen Xuanqing, he picked up the teacup on the stone table, lowered his head and drank tea, not wanting to look at her.

Jin Chao smiled, the events of her previous life had never happened, and she had no hatred for Chen Xuanqing. Since he doesn't want to pay attention to himself, it's so good, it's really a very troublesome thing to get involved with the people of the Chen family, not to mention that the emperor will die in another month, and the officialdom will be even more turbulent.

Chen Xuanqing seemed to feel Gu Jinchao's gaze, but he shrank unnaturally and put his left hand into his sleeve.

Jin Chao felt a little funny, he was afraid that he would not succeed if he ate him!

She still remembered the scene when she first met Chen Xuanqing.

At that time, Ji Yun had just gotten married, and when she came to drink the wedding wine, she wanted to congratulate Ji Yun in person, so she secretly avoided everyone and wanted to go to her uncle's study to find him. Who knew that it was not Ji Yun in the study, but a very strange teenager.

Gu Jinchao saw that he was dressed either rich or expensive, and guessed that he should be a guest who came to eat and drink. But he was a little scared in his heart, not only reported his home, but also scolded him for being a disciple and told him to go out quickly. Chen Xuanqing didn't move, he sat quietly on the circle chair, holding the scroll in his hand, looked at her lightly and said, "If the girl of the Gu family thinks that she is a disciple below, just shout out." ”

That scar has always been there, that's why he's so uncomfortable!

Ji Wu and Liu Min talked for a while, and it was noon. This is to wash the dust for Liu Min, so naturally he has to hold a few tables of banquets. The female dependents avoided going to the east to eat, but the Jin Dynasty could not attend the banquet because they were serving filial piety.

Ji Wu had already instructed her to make some vegetarian food for her. Everyone came one after another, and the Jin Dynasty avoided everyone and prepared to return to Qidongpan.

Jin Chao took Qingpu out of the flower hall and walked on the bluestone path. I suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she went to play in the West Cross Courtyard, and often walked along this path in the direction of the bamboo forest, and there was a small lake through a small bamboo forest, which was full of lotus flowers, and she could pick the lotus pod from the pavilion.

…… At this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to pick the lotus pod, and I don't know if the small lake is still there.

Jin Chao was not in a hurry to go back to Qidongpan, so he smiled and said: "Then let's go pick some osmanthus and go back to make osmanthus nectar to eat." ”

The osmanthus flowers in early autumn have already bloomed one after another.

After the death of the lady, the eldest lady rarely relaxed. Qingpu nodded and smiled: "The slave has been thinking about it for many years!" ”

It is not difficult to make osmanthus nectar, pick the half-opened osmanthus and wash it to dry, put it in a glass bottle, and spread a layer of osmanthus with a layer of frosting and pickle. Or with honey, the taste is also excellent. Drizzle a spoonful when eating glutinous rice balls or pastries, and the taste is fragrant and sweet.

The master and servant walked under the osmanthus tree, spread out the brocade and picked the osmanthus flowers, and only picked a small handful for half an hour. Jin Chao smiled helplessly: "...... It's enough to try something new. Her neck was sore.

Qingpu said: "Your body is a little worse, maybe it's because you've been working too hard lately......" accompanied her back to Qidongpan.

Over there, Chen Xuanqing was poured a lot of wine by Liu Min, and her delicate face flushed. He secretly complained in his heart, and sure enough, as Ji Yun said, this person drank a lot of wine, he used a small cup of blue and white glazed ice cracks, and Liu Min used a small cup of red glaze, but he couldn't drink him.

When the uncle of the Ji family saw it, he inevitably had to relieve him: "...... I think Chen Qigongzi seems to be a little overwhelmed with alcohol, so it's better to go out and sober up! Let the little guy Gao Chang next to him accompany him, Chen Xuanqing thanked him and followed the little guy out of the flower hall.

An Songhuai couldn't sit still when he saw it, the female dependents didn't eat with them, he stretched his neck several times to look at the east room, but he couldn't see anyone. The heart was as uncomfortable as a cat's claw, and seeing that Chen Xuanqing had gone out, he also pouted Ji Yun: "You also take me around, if you stay here, keep your brother-in-law and pour you to the bottom!" ”RS
