When Mr. Wu learned that he had won the third place in the first class, he smiled from ear to ear, and at the same time felt a sense of relief.

"Good! Attaboy! The old man knew that the child was extraordinary. ”

He stood in the courtyard, looking at the waves of good news, and smiled.

Mrs. Wu on the side also smiled: "It's okay now, Ajie will definitely be able to stay in Beijing." ”

The three Jinshi of the first class, if nothing else, will inevitably enter the Hanlin Academy, and after a few years of qualifications, they will hope to enter the cabinet.

In other words, all cabinet officials are from first-class scholars.

Jiang Jie is so young, and a few years later, he is in his prime, and with the support of the saint, it is not a problem to ascend to a high position in the cabinet.

Moreover, he was born in a poor peasant family, and he did not have a complicated background behind him, which was exactly the talent that the new emperor wanted.

In the future, the Jiang family is afraid that it will really be developed.

Mrs. Wu smiled and thought that if her granddaughter could marry into the Jiang family, her future life would definitely not be bad.

Chunniang and Yingbao were busy rewarding the newspaper at this time, and asked the two little girls to bring tables and chairs for them to sit down and drink tea.

The servants of the Wu family also helped to set up a tent in the courtyard, and invited the person who reported the good news to sit in the tent.

Sakura asked the cook to prepare a banquet of wine and food, and entertained these newspapers for dinner.

There are a lot of dishes prepared at home, such as chicken, duck, goose, fish, pork and mutton, which are cooked early this morning, and only need to be cut into plates.

The rest of the vegetables are much simpler, just stir-fry a few small stir-fries to make snacks, and a table of noodles is completed.

When Jiang Quan came back with Jiang Jie and Li Xu, the people from the Luo family who came to say goodbye also arrived.

Not only the Luo family, but also the Wen family came, they did not come to say goodbye, but asked Li Xu to go back to the Wen family to live, saying that he was the son-in-law of the Wen family and should not live in someone else's house.

Li Xu didn't want to go to Wen's house, but someone said that Mrs. Wen had personally explained that she must take him home.

No, Li Xu had to say goodbye to Chunniang and Mr. Wu, and boarded the donkey cart with the Wen family's steward.

On the third day, the saint held a banquet in the palace and invited all the Jinshi on the list to enter the palace for the banquet.

After that, the emperor rewarded the robes and wore them, and the jinshi rode high-headed horses, led by the first three people, and the Praetorian Guards opened the road on both sides and marched along the royal street.

Jiang Jie sat on a tall horse draped in red silk and wore a flowered hat, and was attacked from time to time by flowers and silk handkerchiefs from girls on both sides of the road, feeling quite helpless.

In front of a restaurant, he saw countless flowers and petals sprinkled on his head, and when he looked up, he saw Sister A leading two little girls to throw flowers at him, and he couldn't help but smile.

Everyone also looked upstairs to see a banner hanging upstairs, which read: Four seasons flowers and fruit potted plants, all half price on the first day of opening.

It turned out to be a bonsai seller, no wonder.

Looking at the flowers and petals that fall down, large and small, bright and dazzling, it seems that there are many varieties, and I can't help but smack my tongue.

What a sacrifice! Almost every Jinshi has been baptized by these petals, and even a few pieces have fallen on the heads of the forbidden army and the people.

However, the people who walked with the procession also saw that the little lady upstairs was so beautiful, grabbing the petals and throwing them over and over again, it was like a goddess scattering flowers.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the newly opened shop, and saw the four big characters "Jiang Ji Potted Plants" written on the door number on the first floor.

There are also a lot of flowers and potted plants at the door of the shop, and there is a young man in a white robe, twenty years old, and he looks handsome, standing at the door and smiling at everyone.

Someone was infected by his smile, so he walked into the shop and walked around, and was soon surprised by the various flowers and fruit potted plants in it, and when he came out, he held a pot of peonies or tangerines in his arms.

One person bought, several people followed suit, and in less than half an hour, Jiang Quan sold more than 20 pots of flowers.

By this time, the procession had all passed, but the crowd was still watching.

Some people saw the petals all over the ground here, although they were stepped on, but they still saw the difference.

So, people continued to go into the store, and when they went out, a small half of them bought bonsai.

Jiang Quan smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and he was busy with the coachman.

By the time Sakura came down from the attic with Mu Dan and Apricot Blossom, most of the potted plants in the shop downstairs had already been sold.

She priced these potted plants at a high price, each pot is ten taels up, even if it is discounted by five taels today, each pot will have to run up for five taels.

They were all sold!

The capital is really different from the county seat, there are so many rich people here.

"Sakura, the potted plants we brought are almost sold out, do you want to move some more?" Jiang Quan asked.

Sakura shook his head: "No, it's past noon now, and when the shop is sold out, it will be closed, hang up the sell-out sign, and move a new one tomorrow." ”

Jiang Quan didn't understand the little cousin's intentions a little, but he just listened to it, anyway, the little cousin was so smart, all her decisions were right.

Sakura took Mu Dan and Xinghua out of the house, went to Yahang again, and proposed to pick a few slaves to go back.

The housekeeper of the dental store already recognized this little lady, and also knew that her younger brother had just won the third place in the first class, so he hurriedly smiled: "Coincidentally, I just sent a batch of good goods before, and the villain took the little lady to take a look." ”

Some time ago, many criminal slaves were escorted into Beijing from all over the country, and many of them were the families and slaves of the remnants of the former court's criminal ministers.

Many officials in the city were afraid of being implicated, and they didn't dare to buy more of these criminal slaves, and the occasional patrons who came to pick people were only the grandmothers of Goolan Washe and the Song House Dance Hall.

Sakura followed the tooth man to a large compound, and saw that there were wooden cage-like houses built on both sides of the compound.

Each wooden cage was crowded with a number of people, young and old, and children of several years old.

When Mu Dan and Xinghua saw these cages, they instinctively shrunk, but when they thought that they were already little ladies, they immediately straightened their chests again.

Sakura said to the teeth: "I want two cooks, four maids about ten years old, and four maids between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, it doesn't matter what they look like, as long as they are obedient." ”

"This is easy to do, let's pick out a few small ones." The tooth man asked the man to open the wooden door and nodded his finger to select a few people to come out.

Sakura looked the ten slaves up and down and asked them a few questions, "Where are you from?" Why was he guilty? Who else is in the house? ”

Most of them answered honestly, and only the two girls kept silent.

Sakura looked at their hands, and saw that their fingers were covered with mud, but they didn't see that they had done any work.

"Don't want these two, replace them with two." She bought a slave, not an ancestor, and she didn't have the leisure to train arrogant people.

The tooth man hurriedly asked the man to drag the two girls back to the wooden cage, and just about to re-select, he saw a woman in her twenties grabbing the wooden fence and saying: "Little lady, choose a slave, the slave is literate and can embroider, please choose a slave." ”

Hearing her say this, Sakura looked at the woman and nodded, "Okay, you come out and talk back." ”

The tooth man let the woman out, and she trembled and seemed to be unsteady on her feet.

Sakura asked, "How old are you?" What was your previous status? ”

"Slave, slave is twenty-five years old, and was the daughter of Wei Wanzhang, the secretary of the ministry, who was demoted to slavery because of her father's guilt." She muttered under her breath, tears welling up in her eyes.
