Chapter Twenty-Eight: Purple Jade Kirin Pendant
Ling Yunfei, who was blocked by King Qi, looked at King Qi in confusion and said, "What does the prince have to explain to Yunfei?" ”
"There are three days left before the imperial examination, and the Wenju will start seven days earlier than the Wuju, are you ready?"
"Thank you for your concern, Yunfei is ready."
"The chief examiners of this imperial examination are An Guogong and Zuo Xiang, both of whom are members of the Ruiwang Party, do you have any scruples?"
"Lord Wang, the imperial examination is for Yunshang to select talents and use ability, and those who can serve as the chief examiner will definitely judge fairly."
"Well, if you have the courage, then the king will wait for your good news, and look forward to the day when he will be an official with you."
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Ling Yunfei smiled at King Qi.
"You're welcome, this king came here today to tell you that Wu Jian has been beheaded, and now you can live a stable life."
"It's a pity that I didn't see him kill with my own eyes, otherwise I would have been relieved." Ling Ruoyi gritted her teeth.
"Ha, if you really see the head killed, I'm afraid you'll be frightened." King Qi laughed.
Ling Ruoyi snorted unconvinced, pouting very cutely, King Qi saw that his heart was happy, he retracted his gaze, and said, "Then Yunfei, you should prepare for the imperial examination, this king still has something to do, go first." ”
"Congratulations to the prince," the two said in unison.
Seeing King Qi's figure drifting away, Ling Ruoxuan said, "Yunfei, let's go and see some clothes in the afternoon." ”
"Sister, I have clothes, I don't need to make new clothes."
"My sister just made a sum of silver, of course I want to buy some things for you, just ask what you want, as long as Yunshang is owned by the country, and it can be bought with silver." Ling Ruoxuan looked at Ling Yunfei and said proudly.
"Okay, let's go to Yi Pin Xuan in the afternoon."
Although the boss of Yipinxuan didn't know Ling Ruoyi and Ling Yunfei, but when he saw the carriage outside and the maid following, even a fool knew that this was a big customer, so he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Yo, two guest officers, welcome to the shop, what kind of clothes are you going to make." ”
"Boss, just bring out your best clothes here."
"Okay, I wonder if Miss wants to make women's clothes or men's clothes?"
"Men's clothing, you can take it."
After a while, the shopkeeper held a few precious fabrics and began to show off, "Miss, please see, this apricot yellow bottom flower moonlight brocade, if the son makes a long robe and wears it, it must be chic, and this ivory white gongbi landscape tower cloud brocade, as well as the Hangzhou satin, almost tailor-made for the son." The boss boasted about his own cloth like a treasure.
"Okay, okay, I want these three pieces of cloth, as well as the royal blue pure Hangzhou silk, the beautiful blue brocade forging, and the stone blue treasure flower carved silk pattern, and also carry them to the carriage for me."
"Miss is really a good eye, these pieces of cloth are new to the store, no one else, no, it has not been sold yet, so Miss you like, I promise, these clothes must be unique." Miss, do you want to look at the cloth of women's clothing again? The shopkeeper continued to peddle, and he didn't ask the price, and the one who moved the whole cloth directly must be the owner who was not short of silver, so didn't he take the opportunity to buy more?
"Okay, I'll see. Mu'er, spring, summer, autumn and winter, you also come to help me take a look. ”
"Yes." The five maids stepped forward together, but none of them went to look at the cloth, but waited for her young lady to hold whichever one she liked.
"Give me the honey-colored large brocade cluster flower peony pattern brocade, the plain Hangzhou silk with blue sky and water, the fragrant swirl yarn, the lilac butterfly crescent cloud brocade, the blue color woven dark flower bamboo leaf brocade, the rose purple satin, the magenta makeup, the python and the gold silk jacquard brocade all on the carriage." Ling Ruoyi was so happy that the shopkeeper was happy, Ling Yunfei and the five maids opened their mouths wide, looking incredulous, buying so many materials at once, could it be that they wanted to open a store?
"Why are you looking at me like this, these fabrics are not worn by me alone, those simple colors are all for my son's clothes, and the dark colors are for my father. Miss Ben only needs the honey color, the sky and the water, and the fragrant swirl yarn, and the rest are for you and Mama Qian. As soon as Ling Ruoyi's words came out, Mu'er and the four of them suddenly turned red, her young lady actually thought about them, it was understandable to buy fabrics for Xiangye and Gongzi, they were all subordinates, whose master would treat the subordinate as a human being, looking at Yunshang Country, I am afraid that only her young lady would be so good to her subordinates.
The boss on the side looked at Ling Ruoyi in disbelief, whose daughter is this, she treats her subordinates so well, and the clothes are all good. Without waiting for the boss to finish muttering in his heart, Ling Ruoyi interrupted, "Boss, settle the bill." ”
"Oh, good." Then there was a sound of the collision of abacus beads, and after half a cup of tea, the boss took a long breath and said, "Miss, the cloth you fancy is all of the best materials, five of the three thousand taels, and the rest are two thousand five hundred taels, a total of thirty thousand taels of silver." ”
When everyone heard this, they asked for 30,000 taels of silver, and Mu'er said softly, "Miss, we didn't bring so much silver when we went out." ”
Ling Ruoxuan took out the purple jade unicorn in his sleeve and said, "Mu'er, take it and go to the opposite money village to get five silver tickets of 10,000 taels and come back." ”
"Yes." Mu Er took the purple jade unicorn pendant and ran out, and came back with the silver ticket after a while, Ling Ruoxuan took back the jade pendant, paid the money, and the group got into the carriage and ran towards the prime minister's mansion......
Sitting in the carriage, Ling Ruoxuan took out the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and chuckled, "I didn't expect that this jade pendant can really be exchanged for money." Mu'er, when you took the jade pendant to the money bank, what was the shopkeeper's expression? ”
"Well......, miss, Mu'er took the purple jade unicorn pendant to the shopkeeper, he was first surprised, and then asked me very respectfully how much silver I wanted, I said I wanted five silver tickets of 10,000 taels, and the shopkeeper took the silver tickets from the cabinet and handed them to me and left."
"It's as simple as that?" Ling Ruoxuan couldn't believe that a piece of jade pendant was so useful.
The day of the imperial examination is coming soon, and the imperial examination system in Yunshang is very strict, and all candidates, regardless of their status, need to go through a body search. I saw Ling Yunfei wearing an ivory white Gongbi landscape robe, standing in the crowd, but I didn't expect someone to recognize Ling Yunfei's identity. whispered on the side, "Look, that guy in the indigo robe is Ling Xiang's stupid son." ”
"Silly son? No, it doesn't look like it. ”
"I heard that Ling Yunfei became a fool three days after his mother's death seven years ago, and his sister was originally going to marry King Rui, and then committed suicide by jumping into the lotus pond."
"Hey, hey, I also heard that his sister is as beautiful as a fairy, and the emperor has personally issued an order to praise Ling Ruoyi for being as angry as an orchid and talented as an immortal." A man in a carved silk robe with dark patterns of crow-blue saffron hurriedly interjected.
"What do you know, I have a cousin who is a subordinate in King Rui's Mansion, I heard him tell me, King Rui originally listened to rumors, mistakenly thought that Miss Ling was extremely ugly, but when Jinluan Palace saw it, King Rui wanted to marry Ling Ruoyi, but Ling Ruohui wanted to ask for a decree to withdraw from the marriage, a few days ago, King Rui's subordinates, Lord Xiao of the Criminal Department and Lord Hu of Shuntian Mansion, wanted to kill Ling Yunfei, who knew that King Rui taught two subordinates a hard lesson because of Ling Ruohui, and also gave a lot of silver taels to Miss Ling as a dowry, it seems that Ling Ruohui still has to be Princess Rui."
Ling Yunfei listened to a few big men discussing the trivial matters of other people's families like long-tongued women, and at the same time made him understand that he and his sister were too sharp during this time, and he was afraid that the future days would not be so dull. Looking at the moves that entered after being searched one by one, Ling Yunfei also felt inexplicable pressure. Soon it was Ling Yunfei's turn, the guards searched him, Zuo Xiang sent him a numbered sign, and followed a person dressed as a master to the examination room......
In the examination room, students from all over the world gathered together, the examiner opened the scroll, which reads "Qi Family Governs the Country and Equals the World", the students have written a book as soon as they see the topic, but Ling Yunfei closed his eyes and played the abdominal draft, about a cup of tea, the abdominal draft has been completed, and the pen is written "The big thing that covers the Tao, the original is out of the sky, beyond the wonder of Wuji Taiji, and it is not far from the daily things, rooted in the five elements of Yang and Yang, and it is nothing more than benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, rigidity, softness, good and evil." The sky is clear, the earth is quiet, the people are very clear, and there is no way to do it. The saints are passed down from generation to generation, together with this, from self-cultivation to govern people, from enlightenment to the family to govern the country and level the world, the spirit of the heart, and the etiquette and music of the criminal government. ......" The examiner inspected Ling Yunfei's place, and couldn't help but be attracted by his words, and the handwriting was like flowing water, which was really praiseworthy.
At the end of the imperial examination, it was already evening, and Ling Ruohui took Mu'er and Panqiu to wait outside the examination room by Xiao Liuzi in a cuigai bead eight-treasure car.
Suddenly, the candidates walked out of the examination room one after another, and Mu'er looked anxiously at the candidates who walked out, but she couldn't see Ling Yunfei's figure, "Miss, why hasn't the son come out yet, hasn't it been written yet?" Mu'er asked softly.
"There are a lot of people in the imperial examination this year, let's wait and see." Ling Ruoyi said lightly, her eyes kept staring at the candidates who came out, and finally saw Ling Yunfei walk out, "Yunfei, here." Ling Ruoxuan said. The voice like a yellow warbler in the valley attracted the attention of all the candidates.
I saw Ling Ruoyi wearing a slightly simple moon-white long brocade robe, embroidering strange and strong branches on the fabric with dark brown silk threads, and the peach-colored silk threads embroidered plum blossoms in full bloom, extending from the skirt to the waist, a wide purple belt tightened the thin waist, showing a slender figure, but also gave people a sense of elegance and luxury, draped in a light purple open gauze coat, every move caused the yarn to have a sense of sparkling flow, and a piece of jade jade pendant was tied around the waist, adding an elegant atmosphere. couldn't help but attract everyone to stop and look at the fairy-like woman.
"Who is this woman?" An out-of-town candidate asked.
"She, she is Ling Xiang's daughter-in-law, the famous Ling Ruohui of Yunshang Country."
"What? She's the fool's sister? ”
"What a fool, just now in the examination room, the examiner looked at him differently, it seems that this rumor is not credible, such a beautiful woman, it would be great if she could be my wife."
"Let's dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival, people are the concubines of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and your identity Ling Xiang will not consider it." A few long-tongued women began to croak around again, which made people feel annoying.
Ling Yunfei was very happy when he saw his sister coming to pick him up, and quickly walked to the carriage, helped Ling Ruoyi into the carriage, and ran towards the Xiangfu......
