In the early morning of the next day, the south gate of Qiandu.

Dressed in a green shirt and robe, Wei Qing, who was dressed in a slightly low-key manner, was waiting.

Compared to the generation of Zaisuke who wears a crimson official uniform and exudes the momentum of officialdom.

At this time, he was more like an old Confucian student.

In other words, this prime minister, from beginning to end, has never forgotten his identity as a scholar.

For this reason, his perspective on things and the way he handled things were also done from the standpoint of Confucian scholars and scholars.

However, it is also destined that he and Emperor Renxuan will not be able to achieve the unity of the monarch and the minister.

In other words, he represents the interests of the vast number of poor scholars.

In the eyes of Emperor Renxuan, there is only the great achievements of Zhongxing Daqian.

After a long time, the spring breeze blows on the face, like willows, not only not cold, but extremely comfortable.

An old man who was about the same age, but whose appearance was more haggard, came over surrounded by attendants.

The person who came was Emperor Renxuan.

It's just that compared to the majesty of the court, Emperor Renxuan at this time is more like an ordinary old man.

As an emperor, he can naturally control his own momentum.

As long as he wants, he can be an ordinary old farmer in the field, a general who fights on the battlefield and kills vertically and horizontally, or a peerless emperor who will go down in history for thousands of generations.

It's just momentum, how can't you do it?

"I haven't left the palace for a long time, I've been delayed for a while, how long has Wei Qing been waiting?"

"Back to Your Majesty, soon."

"Then let's go and see the Huainan that is rumored to be a god."

……

Huainan City!

Shen Mansion.

It stands to reason that the palace test gold list has been announced a few days ago.

It's just that if you want to spread it to Huainan, it will still take some time.

And these days are undoubtedly the biggest torment for Shen Gui.

Along with him, there was also Zhou Huai, the largest grain merchant in Huainan, and a number of businessmen who cooperated with Feihong.

At this time, everyone's eyes are full of delicious food.

They don't have the slightest appetite, it's more of a kind of longing.

After all, the news that would decide the fate of their family might arrive in a day or two.

Knock knock!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the house.

Everyone straightened up and raised their eyebrows, but when they turned their heads to look, their faces inevitably showed disappointment.

The person who came was not the "newspaper" who reported the good news, but an old acquaintance of everyone - Sun Yuanwai.

Sun Mansion and Shen Mansion are adjacent to each other, and since the last time Sun Yuan came to Shen Mansion for dinner, the two families have had a lot of contacts, and they can be regarded as close relations.

It's just that what is Sun Yuanwai doing at this time?

Everyone looked puzzled and puzzled.

However, in the face of everyone's surprised eyes, Sun Yuanwai ignored it and went straight to the table.

This table of delicacies, even if he has always been picky about food, he can't help but salivate and drool, wanting to taste it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why do you ignore such a delicacy?"

"If you want to eat, eat it yourself, I won't be hungry." Zhou Huai said absent-mindedly.

Hearing this, Sun Yuanwai ate it by himself.

While eating, he commented: "This dish is good, I'm afraid it's from Feihong Restaurant, right?" ”

"You Feihong shareholders, the treatment is good, sitting at home, you can also taste a table of delicacies made by Sun Yuchu."

Although Feihong Restaurant has launched a takeaway service, not everyone can eat Sun Huaimin's dishes.

After all, Sun Huaimin is only one person, and the number of dishes he can make every day is limited, so he naturally has to limit his purchase.

Even Sun Yuanwai can rarely eat Sun Huaimin's craftsmanship.

Seeing that everyone didn't care about him, Sun Yuanwai could only sigh and said helplessly: "Don't wait, there is no good news." ”

Hearing this, everyone frowned, and some people even reprimanded: "The surname Sun, don't talk nonsense, you know a mallet about the affairs of scholars." ”

"It's a scholar's business, but why can't I understand?"

"My relatives in Qiandu wrote a few days ago, saying that this year's spring festival is very difficult, and even some talented people in the north who have been famous for a long time have fallen to Sun Mountain one after another."

"Those few people in your family, I'm afraid there is not much hope."

Hearing this, the scene suddenly fell into a long silence, and the sound of Sun Yuan eating and drinking soup outside became even more obvious.

"Impossible! Over the past few days, the dog has clearly told me that there has been a lot of progress, and the title of the gold list should not be a problem. Someone was indignant and retorted.

"Yes, whether it is eight shares, poems or strategies, the dog is confident, and he will try three times in a row, and he has rich experience, how can he be famous and fall to Sun Mountain?" Someone chimed in.

Sun Yuanwai shook his head and said, "You guys, you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin." ”

"Hasn't the difference between the North and the South been obvious enough over the years?"

"Most of the places on the gold list are occupied by candidates from the north."

"And this time it's even more difficult, even northern candidates are difficult to get on the list, let alone your children."

As soon as these words came out, all the members only felt that their hearts were like knives and their chests were like needles.

However, there is no word to refute.

After all, what Sun Yuanwai said is indeed the truth.

Over the past few years, it has become a consensus that the north is strong and the south is weak.

This impression is even more ingrained in their minds.

No matter how strong your own children are, can they still be stronger than the northern candidates?

"If you want me to say, you are all old brothers, why bother?"

"What's wrong with us doing business? It's a big deal to suffer more on weekdays. ”

"But we have money, we can eat whatever we want, buy whatever we want!"

"In comparison, those officials seem to be on top, but can they be at ease?" Sun Yuanwai said comfortingly.

However, none of the people present took these words seriously.

Some people are even colder.

That is to say, but if there is a jinshi from your Sun family, you are afraid that you will be happier than anyone else, and you will definitely be able to beat gongs and drums, and carry lanterns to inform from door to door.

"Where did you get that news? Is it accurate? ”

"Hey, my distant relative, but on an errand in the palace! You are the eunuch in front of the palace! ”

"Over the years, although there has been little contact, the love is still there."

"Isn't it easy to get a word out?"

"Besides, I spent money on this news, and as a relative, how can you lie to me?"

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the people were completely dead.

The eunuch in front of the palace in the palace, to be honest, is already a figure they can't climb.

Eighty percent of the news that comes out of these people will not be false.

"It seems that the dog is still unlucky. That's it, I'll do it again next year. Someone sighed, his words full of helplessness and sadness.

Some people were not convinced, still with a little hope, and said: "I don't think so!" ”

"The children can at least get a jinshi, this is what Gu Shijun promised us."

Hearing this, the depths of the eyes of all the members shone brightly, dispelling the haze.

However, when Sun Yuanwai heard this, he snorted coldly, revealing disdain.
