On the third day of the fourth month, the eldest son of the prince of Jiang Guo was full moon.

Jing Yan took time out of his busy schedule and accompanied Jiang Yuqing back to Jiang Guogong's mansion for a banquet.

Zhao Yan's father, General Zhao Qinglan, is now stationed in the southwest and is not in Beijing.

However, there are not many people from her mother's Yongning Bo Mansion. Her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Yongningbo, and several of her cousins were almost all present.

It can be seen that Yongning Bofu still attaches great importance to this niece who married into the public mansion as the wife of the prince.

It's just that Zhao Yan's two cousins, seeing that Zhao Yan is doing so well, can't help but be a little sour, so they bring some out of their words.

In front of her in-laws, Mrs. Yongningbo couldn't say anything, but just glared at them with her eyes.

Wait until you get home: "You two kneel down for me." ”

The two concubines were startled and hurriedly knelt down to listen to the training. Mrs. Yongningbo said with a cold face: "What do you mean by what you said in the Guogong Mansion?"

Do you want the Guogong Mansion to laugh at our Yongning Bo Mansion for not being educated?

Your eldest sister is the eldest lady of our Yongning Bo Mansion, and you can't go to her in this identity. If you want to blame it, blame you for not having a good baby!

From now on, you will kneel here for me, until you know you are wrong! ”

Yongningbo never bothered about things in the backyard. Besides, it is a matter of course for the mother-in-law to discipline the concubine.

What happened in Yongningbo's Mansion was unknown to outsiders, like a gust of wind blowing through and annihilating in the air.

On the fifth day of April, the apricot list is released. Jiang Yu had nothing to do, so he made the carriage early and waited outside the examination institute.

I especially remember that many years ago, the two elder brothers in the family referred to her, and she also waited in the list like this.

After reading the list, she ran home as soon as possible to tell everyone the good news. It's faster than the little guys sent by the family to see the list.

Today she came to see the list again, but her mentality was different.

The joys and sorrows of everyone under the red list are not the same, some are so happy that they are incoherent, and some are so sad that they cry.

The first place this time was a tribute named Lugan. After seeing his ranking, he almost fainted with excitement.

At that time, a person who looked like a housekeeper squeezed forward and asked him, "I wonder if Master Lu is married or not?" ”

Lu Gen's eyes rolled, and he hugged his fist with the butler, and said, "No." ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately smiled: "The little one is the housekeeper of the Sun family in the capital." Our lord served in the Ministry of Officials and was a servant of the Ministry of Officials.

My young lady is twenty-nine years old, born is beautiful as a flower, is waiting for the word boudoir, the old man loves like a treasure, and wants to choose talents and matches.

My family looks at Master Lu's talent and grandeur, and I want to invite you to talk about it, I don't know if Master Lu is willing to show face. ”

"Thank you! Please ask the housekeeper to lead the way......"

Another Gongshi, who was also on the list, looked at the departing Lu Gen with a shocked face, and muttered: "Brother Lu is obviously married and has children, why did he lie?" ”

Jiang Yuqing frowned when he heard this, and said to Youwei: "Go check and see what's going on?" ”

Youwei went in response and came back not long after. "Mother is indeed something. According to Lugan's fellow villagers, he was already married and had a son, who was already three years old. ”

Mama Qin snorted and said, "In this way, I'm afraid I don't have the intention of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, and I want to stop my wife and marry again." ”

Jiang Yuqing sneered: "This wishful thinking is a snap." What is the situation on the Sun family's side? ”

Mama Qin said: "The situation of the Sun family is somewhat similar to that of the Guogong Mansion, and there is only one daughter in this life, as Steward Sun said, Miss Sun is the pearl of Lord Sun's palm."

Miss Sun has a soft and waxy temperament, if she marries into an ordinary high-ranking family, I am afraid that she will not be able to support the family business and be disliked by her in-laws.

Therefore, Mr. Sun wanted to choose one who had no foundation and some talent among the moves to enter Beijing to take the exam, and married Miss Sun.

In this way, the new son-in-law pointed to the Yue family to help, and he did not dare to snub the daughter of the Sun family. This is also considered a well-intentioned one.

Now it seems that the Sun family is afraid that they have taken a fancy to Lugan, but unfortunately their vision is not very good, and they seem to have picked up a scum. ”

Jiang Yuqing took a sip of tea and said, "Reveal this news to the Sun family." Don't let the good girl be harmed by the scumbag. ”

Mama Qin smiled and said, "Our mother is the most kind-hearted. ”

Let's say that after Sun Shilang met Lu Gen, he only felt that this young man looked like a talent, and his attitude was humble and talented.

With his first place on the apricot list, as long as he plays normally in the palace examination, he is expected to be the first class, so he is very satisfied with him.

When Lu Gen came to the Shilang Mansion, Miss Sun also leaned behind the screen and secretly glanced at it, and felt that this person was quite her favorite, so when she faced her mother's questioning, she nodded quite shyly.

However, he didn't wait for Sun Shilang to be happy for too long, and the next day he heard that Lu Gen had a wife and children in his hometown.

So he hurriedly sent someone to verify and confirm that the news was true, and immediately scolded angrily: "The erector lied to me and almost harmed my daughter." ”

He told his father-in-law, who in turn happened to be one of the examiners for the big exam.

In the selection of officials by the imperial court, in addition to talent, more important is character. Only those who have both ability and political integrity can enter the court as officials.

How can such a misbehaving person be used?

Therefore, Sun Shilang's father-in-law directly played the matter to Jing Yan.

As soon as Jing Yan saw this person's name, he remembered what his wife had told him two days ago.

So with a tick of the pen, his name was crossed out from the palace examination list, and even directly canceled all his fame.

Lu Gen suddenly received the news that he had been disqualified from the palace examination and that all the fame he had achieved had been invalidated, and he suddenly felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He vaguely knew what was wrong, but he was still unwilling, so he ran to Sun's mansion to question.

When the subordinates of the Sun Mansion saw that it was him, they immediately scolded: "You dare to come with the surname Lu." obviously already has a wife, but he lied to our master that you are not married.

Deceiving people has deceived our Sun Mansion, you are really fat.

You don't go outside to inquire, are we adults so easy to deceive? You are completely to blame for today's fate!

Hurry up and get out of here, or break your legs! ”

After Lu Gen was driven away by the subordinates of the Sun Mansion, he sat alone on the side of the street and hugged his head and cried.

His family is not wealthy, and the money he went to Beijing to take the exam this time was all gift money from the squires in the county after he was admitted to the Juren.

When he first entered Beijing, he was fascinated by the prosperity of the capital.

Thinking that if you can stay in the capital and be an official, can you also live such a life of a master?

Therefore, when the Sun family handed over an olive branch, he chose to conceal the fact that he was married without hesitation.

Thinking that if he became the son-in-law of the Sun family, he would have the support of the Yue family in his career in the future, not to mention soaring, at least it would be much smoother.

I didn't expect this lie to be exposed so quickly.

Not many people knew about his situation, only Yunguan from the same county. This kid must be jealous that he won the first place and won the favor of the Sun family, so he specially told the secret.

Hatred overwhelmed him, and with the thought of "I'm not happy, don't think about it", he ran to the back kitchen of the temporary inn and took a kitchen knife and hid it in his arms.

After that, he went up to the second floor of the inn, kicked the room of the cloud view, and slashed with a knife.

Yun Guan screamed in fright, but fortunately he had learned some superficial self-defense skills before, so he was not injured.

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er, who rushed to hear the news, subdued him together and sent him to the yamen.

This guy attempted to injure someone with a knife, and was pressed to the ground by the people of the yamen and hit 30 boards.

Something like this happened, and the inn didn't dare to let him live anymore, so he was directly blasted out.

He dragged his body after being reprimanded, and lay on the side of the street and couldn't help crying.

He now regrets it very much, and his mistake caused today's bitter consequences. Now that we have nothing, where do we go from here?

After crying, he went into a tavern and drank most of the night.

After waking up the next day, I returned to the inn where I was temporarily staying, packed my things, and went straight to Puning Temple in the western suburbs of the capital.

After Jiang Yuqing heard the news, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that his wife and children are suffering." ”

In Tai'an Farm in April, the Fangfei full garden was blooming just right, and Jiang Yuqing was planning to go to Tai'an Farm to live for a few days.

However, just after the Qionglin banquet here, Mo Hui ran over happily and said that the rubber tires of the bicycle had been made.

Jiang Yuqing was overjoyed, followed him to the Ministry of Industry, and sure enough, he saw a bicycle with rubber tires.

The car was very finely made, and the anti-skid marks on the tires were carved by him with a carving knife one by one.

This requires a great deal of skill on the part of the craftsman, otherwise even a little heavier would have scrapped the entire tire.

Jiang Yuqing rode this bicycle and ran two laps along the test site, and everything went smoothly.

She gave Mo Hui a thumbs up and said, "It's just great." It's ready to go on the market now! ”

Mo Hui was very happy and asked her to give her a name for Daxia's first bicycle.

Jiang Yuqing thought about it and said, let's call it "pioneer", and the number of the bicycle is 001.

For publicity, Jiang Yuqing put the bicycle out of the Ministry of Industry, first circled around the palace twice, and then went out of the palace gate and rode all the way along the royal street.

Later, he turned to other major streets and wandered around the capital.

There is no specific destination, just to advertise the car.

Sure enough, where the bicycle passed, everyone looked at this strange thing and exclaimed.

Some of the children of the family, wealthy businessmen, are gearing up, wanting to wait until this rare thing is put on the market, and they can buy it as soon as possible.

The next day, the Ministry of Industry reported that the bicycle was successfully developed and officially accepted for booking.

In the early stage, the bicycle may be expensive and take a long time due to raw materials or labor reasons.

This thing is suitable for solo riding, whether you are commuting to work every day, going out shopping, or going to play.

There is a basket at the front of the car where you can put small and endowed items. There is a seat at the back, and the cyclist can bring one person if he wishes.

As soon as the news was released, the people who came to make reservations immediately crowded the appointment window specially set up by the Ministry of Industry.

The sky-high price of one hundred taels of silver per car, these people took it without blinking an eye.

Many people must have several. It's a pity that the official who accepted the reservation said that because of the limited production capacity, one person can only order one, please understand.

Although everyone is dissatisfied, they also know that this is the only way to do it at this stage. Otherwise, it will anger these bigwigs, and don't even want to catch the hair of the bicycle.
