Mrs. Shen said angrily: "Lu Wanzhi, where did my family Xi'er offend you?" Why are you biased and unfavorable? If Xi'er doesn't go back to the Xiao family, the entire Shen family will become a laughing stock! ”

Shen Xi said with disappointment: "Mother, in your eyes, is it possible that your daughter's life can't be compared to someone else's joke?" ”

Lu Wanzhi helped Shen Xi up and said, "I'll take you to the hospital to see the wound first, don't do such a stupid thing." ”

Mrs. Shen said angrily to the grandmother on the side, "Hurry up and send the two children to the Xiao Mansion." ”

Lu Wanzhi even asked the Lu family who came with him to stop him.

Mrs. Shen said sharply: "This is in the Shen State Mansion, but it is not your Lu family, your Lu family dares to come to the door today......

Without waiting for Mrs. Shen to finish speaking, she saw the county lord of Yuyue walk up to her grandmother and hugged Shen Xi's one-year-old daughter in her arms.

"We dare today! If Mrs. Shen feels that something is wrong, she can go to the palace to complain. ”

Yuyue held her little daughter in one hand and Shen Xi's three-year-old son in the other, and took the two children into the Lu family's carriage.

The little boy who had been holding back not crying got into the carriage, only to throw himself into Shen Xi's arms and cry bitterly, "Woo woo, mother." ”

The youngest daughter, who had just turned one year old and didn't understand anything, saw her brother crying, and she also cried.

Shen Xi hugged a pair of children and kept crying.

Lu Wanzhi wiped her tears from Shen Xi distressedly, "Don't cry, you won't go back to the Xiao family again." ”

The county lord of Yuyue said on the side: "Last time I met Brother Heng in the teahouse, I saw him say that he was a matchmaker for you and Pei Qin, this Pei Qin is a lot older, since you have been reconciled, why hasn't this Pei Qin come to the door to propose?" ”

Shen Xi looked at the Yuyue County Lord in surprise, but she didn't expect that even she knew about it, "I rejected Pei Qin because of a pair of children. ”

Lu Wanzhi took Shen Xi to the medical hall, and when the doctor saw the injury and prescribed medicine to stop the bleeding, Lu Wanzhi asked Shen Xi to go back to Lu Mansion with him.

……

Until noon, the palace examination papers were handed in, and all the students were waiting for His Majesty to check the article and ask questions.

The scholars sorted the scrolls one by one and presented them to Emperor Jing Yuan.

Emperor Jing Yuan checked the past one by one, and asked a few words from time to time.

Among them, there are timid students who can't speak when they meet Shengyan for the first time, and there are also those who speak, but they still stumble and can't speak clearly.

There are also many students who dare not speak loudly, and above the main hall, if they dare not speak loudly in a dignified manner, most of them will be ranked at the bottom.

The topic of this palace exam was ploughing, and Emperor Jingyuan didn't expect Zhao Heng, a child with no grains, to write any good articles.

But seeing Zhao Heng's article about farming, a heavy snowfall destroyed the two acres of rice fields planted, as if it was a real thing.

"Zhao Heng."

"Uncle Huang."

Zhao Heng didn't care at all that this was above the palace test, and it was still the previous title.

Emperor Jing Yuan said: "Your article is well written, but this article is true, you can't make it up, when have you ever farmed the field?" ”

Zhao Heng said: "Uncle Huang, I didn't make it up, Mr. Lu taught us the last lesson is farming, the people take food as the sky, and farming is the foundation of food." Our Tianzi squad leader is in the home of high-ranking officials and nobles, although he is the leader of the imperial court, but he is supported by the people's cultivation.

Mr. Lu also taught us that if we embark on a career in office, we must remember to do things for the people and farmers, water can carry a boat or overturn a boat, and having a farmer in our hearts is the only way to serve the court and your majesty.

In order to let us know that it is not easy for farmers to farm, Mr. Lu let us farm, and the students of the Tianzi class plus Ke Zhao had a total of 15 people, and they were busy all morning before planting two acres of rice fields, but a heavy snowfall fell, and the seedlings were destroyed.

Originally, I didn't understand why the imperial court wanted to sacrifice all day and night, disturbing my sleep, but now I understand, the imperial uncle has been sacrificing to pray for a good wind and rain and a good harvest of crops.

But I think that if it is not enough to just ask for the sky, the most important thing is to dig ditches, store reservoirs, and do our best to ensure the harvest in drought and flood. ”

Emperor Jing Yuan was quite relieved to see Zhao Heng talking eloquently below, and asked, "Heng'er, what good way do you have?" ”

Zhao Heng scratched his head and said, "I have a method, but I don't think it's easy to implement." ”

"You just say it."

Zhao Heng said: "I thought if I could ask all the people to pay ten cents for an acre of land to the government before farming, if it was a bumper harvest that year, the ten cents would not be refunded, if it was not harvested that year, the ten cents could be refunded and exempted from taxes, if there was no harvest, then the government would pay one penny of silver per mu of land." ”

All the students and ministers looked at Zhao Heng.

Only the prince said: "If the people see that ten cents can be turned into ten times one penny and two taels of silver, and deliberately do not cultivate, how is it good?" ”

Zhao Heng said: "One penny and two is not much, if there is no harvest, the price of grain at that time must be sky-high, the people are greedy for a penny of silver, and can only buy a little bit of grain, I think the people are not stupid."

Moreover, the local county government also has its own Zhuangzi fields, whether it is a bumper harvest year or a poor harvest year, or a year without a harvest. ”

Emperor Jing Yuan smiled with relief: "That's a good point. ”

Emperor Jing Yuan continued to look at the article, and after asking them one by one, he asked the students to wait outside the hall.

Waiting outside was anxious, Gu Qingchi asked Zhao Heng, "What you said in front of Your Majesty was taught by Lu Wanzhi?" ”

Zhao Heng said: "That's not it, that's what I thought about myself." ”

Gu Qingchi smiled and said, "You might really be able to get a champion this time." ”

An hour later, the attendants announced that all the students had entered the hall, and everyone was very nervous about their own ranking.

There is a list at the door, except for the champion of the first class, the name of the list, and the name of the flower has not yet been decided, and the rest have been decided.

Gu Qingchi saw his name at a glance, and after looking around, there was no name of Zhao Heng and said: "Ah Heng, it seems that you are really expected to become the champion, I didn't expect you to become the champion!" ”

Zhao Heng also began to be a little fluttering, if he really won the champion, he would definitely be able to revitalize the husband!

Inside, all the students knelt in the hall.

Emperor Jingyuan saw the people kneeling below: "After I discussed with the ministers, I appointed Shen Luozhi, a student from Chang'an, as the champion, Jin Cheng, a student from Hangzhou, as the leader, and Zhao Heng, a student from Chang'an, as Tanhualang. ”

Zhao Heng pouted and said unconvinced: "Uncle Huang, I don't think that the palace tried to answer me worse than Shen Luozhi and Jin Cheng?" Why is the champion Shen Luozhi? His answer just now was not as good as mine, although the rhetoric of the article is good, it is all empty words, not realistic at all, I am not convinced! ”

When all the students heard Zhao Heng's words, they all sweated for Zhao Heng.

Even Lu Teng was worried about his little son-in-law.

The King of Chu scolded angrily: "Zhao Heng, how can Your Majesty allow you to be presumptuous? ”

Zhao Heng said: "Uncle Huang is unfair, hum! ”

The King of Chu was so angry that if he wasn't above the main hall, he just wanted to go over and twist Zhao Heng's ears: "Zhao Heng! ”

Emperor Jing Yuan didn't care at all, and said with a chuckle: "Heng'er, there is no injustice in my handling of things, Tanhualang has always been the best-looking, isn't it that I look at you better than Shen Luozhi's Jin Cheng?" ”

Shen Luozhi at the bottom: "......"

For the first time, Zhao Heng felt that being the first beauty in Chang'an was not a good thing.
