The next day, Chu Yiqing had people send methods of growing sorghum, soybeans, sweet potatoes, etc. to the people in the northern suburbs. Rui Ao bribed everyone with money and copied a copy and put it in the "Agricultural Policy" manuscript.

After the wedding of Lei Ting and Ruimin, the next step was the wedding of Chu Huan and Yang Moer. Chu Yiqing was busy for a while, and the time came for the big competition in June.

The capital became lively a month ago. Officials from all over the country gathered in the capital to make friends through literature. Tianque Academy, which has produced three top scholars in a row, has become a place that officials must go to worship. Tianque Academy

The students of the academy also became the targets of the officials' competition to win over and make friends.

After three days of imperial examinations, the day of results finally came. Hua Qi was indeed the number one scholar in high school, and Tie Shuan was second. The good news reached the palace, and Chu Yiqing hurriedly left the palace and went to the Prince's Mansion.

In the Prince's Mansion, Hua Qi and Tie Shuan knelt down respectfully to salute Chu Yiqing.

"Okay, okay, you two kids, what are you doing!" Chu Yiqing hurried forward and helped the two of them up personally, "You are today because of your own efforts!"

Huaqi and Tie Shuan saluted again.

"Hua Qi, what are your plans? Are you going to stay in the capital or go back to Lucheng?" Chu Yiqing asked after letting the two of them sit down.

Hua Qi hesitated for a moment and then said: "Hua Qi wants to stay with the emperor and serve!"

Chu Yiqing nodded. Hua Qi's idea was exactly what she wanted. Now that Li Huang had just ascended the throne, he should also select a group of talents from among the new officials.

"Tieshuan, where are you?" Chu Yiqing looked at Tieshuan again.

Tie Shuan quickly said: "Returning to Aunt Chu, my parents are not willing to leave Chu Han, and my father-in-law is also in Chu Han. I have already discussed with Zhi'er and want to stay in Chu Han!"

Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "I thought the same way at the beginning. Master Bai is a Beijing official and will be transferred back sooner or later. Chu Han has you guarding him, so I feel relieved!"

Tie Shuan responded quickly.

Chu Yiqing said again: "In that case, Tieshuan, you and Xu Zhi should go back first and wait for the news at home so that your family can feel at ease!"

Hua Qi and Tie Shuan nodded quickly.

The next day, Tieshuan and Xu Zhi came to say goodbye. Chu Yiqing gave them a few more instructions and asked them to bring gifts to their families, and then asked someone to escort them home.

Now in Huaqi High School, Huaqi's marriage was on the agenda. On this day, Chu Yiqing made an appointment with Mrs. Xu to discuss their marriage.

In the Xu Mansion, Mrs. Xu dressed up carefully and took her mother-in-law out of the house. Just as she was about to get in the car, she saw Mrs. Lu and her mother-in-law coming forward and blocking her way.

"Mrs. Xu, I wonder if I can say a few words?" Mrs. Lu whispered, with a sly look on her face, unable to hide her embarrassment.

Mrs. Xu was startled, as if she did not expect that Mrs. Lu would find her here. She whispered: "Mrs. Lu, I'm really sorry. I have to meet a very important guest today. I'm afraid I don't have time to chat with Mrs. Lu.

!”

"It's not idle talk, Mrs. Xu. I know I did something wrong last time, but now I have humiliated myself. Please give me a chance, Mrs. Lu, even if it's only for a quarter of an hour!"

Mrs. Xu frowned, and when she saw Mrs. Lu holding on to her, she said: "Then just a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Lu should not pester her again!"

Mrs. Lu responded quickly.

In the Xu Mansion, Mrs. Xu sat on the throne, looked at Mrs. Lu and said, "Mrs. Lu, please speak!"

Mrs. Lu bit her lip, stood up, and said: "Mrs. Xu, I went too far last time at the Prince's Mansion. Please don't argue with me, Mrs. Xu!" After Mrs. Lu said this, she unexpectedly said again

Kneel down.

"Mrs. Lu, what are you doing? You can't do this!" Mrs. Xu was startled and hurriedly stepped aside. At this time, the nun beside Mrs. Xu also hurriedly came to Hang Qian and grabbed Mrs. Lu to prevent her from kneeling down.

.

Mrs. Xu said, "Mrs. Lu, aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me? If outsiders see it, they will think that I am deliberately embarrassing Mrs. Lu!"

After all, the Lu family is an official of the imperial court. It is difficult for such a serious official wife to kneel down and worship casually. Mrs. Lu may be impatient, but it is really inappropriate to do so, so there is something in Mrs. Xu's words.

The meaning of reproach.

Mrs. Lu's eyes suddenly turned red and she said, "I was rash, please don't be offended, Mrs. Lu. I feel sorry for my Xin'er, my Xin'er..."

Mrs. Xu also heard something about Lu Ningxin being bedridden because of her illness. Since the last time the Lu family and her daughter were insulted at the county palace, Mrs. Lu has not been out for a long time, and Miss Lu is even more bedridden. Now

It has become a joke among the ladies.

In fact, Mrs. Xu was a little sorry for what happened last time. She only occasionally talked about it with Mrs. Liu from Duke Liu's Mansion. She didn't expect that Mrs. Liu, a person who worshiped Buddha all the year round, would be so angry and helped her at that time.

After getting angry, she felt a little guilty in her heart, but this matter was a matter between the Lu family and the Hua family, and it really concerned her, so she said: "Mrs. Lu, why does Miss Lu have nothing to do with my family? In fact, Lu

We also know what the young lady is thinking, but Yunxi and Mr. Hua have already been engaged. We will definitely not ruin this marriage and delay Yunxi’s lifelong happiness just to make it happen for you. Please don’t embarrass me, Mrs. Xu!"

Mrs. Xu said and was about to get up to see off the guests.

"Mrs. Xu, we don't dare to change the marriage between your family and the Hua family. We, Ning Xin, can just be equal wives. You see..." Mrs. Lu grabbed Mrs. Xu's skirt tightly and did not let go.

Mrs. Xu's eyes darkened and she said to herself: "Although our Duke Xu's mansion is in decline, we are still people with titles. How can the legitimate grandson of our Duke's mansion be an equal wife?"

When Madam Lu was about to say something else, Madam Xu said directly: "Okay, the quarter of an hour is up, and I have made an appointment with the Queen to discuss Yunxi's marriage, so I won't entertain Madam Lu!"

Mrs. Xu said and stood up to let people see off the guests.

Mrs. Lu bit her lip and finally begged again: "If you're not a common wife, you can be a concubine! Mrs. Xu, I just want Ning Xin and Yun Xi to marry into the Hua Mansion together!"

"Be a concubine?" Mrs. Xu was startled. She didn't expect that Mrs. Lu would let her own daughter be a concubine. This concubine was made by a daughter of a serious family?

"Mrs. Xu, we are all mothers. Please save my daughter. I can't watch Xin'er follow in the footsteps of her sister!" Mrs. Lu was about to kneel down again. This time, Mrs. Xu did not dodge.

He opened his mouth and received a solid bow from Mrs. Xu.

After Mrs. Lu left, Xu Yunxi came out from behind the curtain and said urgently: "Mom, do you really want to tell the Queen that you want Lu Ningxin to marry the playboy together?"

Mrs. Xu sighed, patted Xu Yunxi's hand and said: "No woman in this world is willing to have a husband with another woman, but my mother and you, an orphan and a widowed mother, have no real power in the court. Hua

Qi wants to take a concubine in the future, can you stop her? As Mrs. Xu kneels in front of me today, she and Lu Ningxin will never raise their heads in front of me and you, so you don’t have to be afraid that the Lu family can crawl

On your head! What’s wrong with you taking in such a powerful concubine for Huaqi and gaining a good reputation? Now we proposed this concubine, and the queen can also inherit our family’s affection.
