The Empress Dowager only opened her eyes slightly. Under the Ranran Palace Lantern in winter, she saw the empress dowager's beautiful face, but the late autumn bleakness was seen.

She said lightly: "It's another year. Just now, the emperor asked someone to bring him to the Ai family to greet him. Do you know what the Ai family is thinking?"

Zhang Jing looked up at the Queen Mother and said, "The Empress must be thinking, how great it would be if the Emperor was Prince Wuji."

The Queen Mother smiled, but she smiled a little reluctantly: "Wuji...How is he doing now?"

Zhang Jing said: "I... dare not investigate in depth."

Yes, I’m afraid that it’s the biggest danger to those who are interested!

The Empress Dowager's Jaw: "There are any abnormal movements there?"

Zhang Jing was silent for a moment before saying, "It was just in case. King Zhao was very wary of my servant's every move. I was worried that if King Zhao had a little suspicion, his highness's life would be difficult to save."

"Yes." The empress dowager's melancholy turned into a sense of resentment, her eyes were like the coldness of winter, and she said, "His son has now become the 195th emperor, and the son of the Ai family is now...he...hehe...What a King of Zhao. He has harmed the Ai family for thirteen years. At this time of year, the Ai family's heart is like a knife."

Zhang Jing's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Isn't that the same? I have been searching for thirteen years, and if I haven't found Prince Wuji again, I'm afraid he will continue to search for it.

He kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "Fortunately, God has eyes, and the Queen Mother is patient. I heard that the provincial examination is about to begin."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "Hmm?"

Zhang Jing raised his eyes carefully and said, "Prince Wuji is already a scholar and wants to participate in the provincial examination after the spring. He is unparalleled in talent. Maybe he has the chance to go to high school this time. If so, then he should go to Beijing for the next year. When he comes to Beijing, the empress... maybe he will have the chance to meet him."

Yes, if someone is sent to you, once the matter is leaked, how could King Zhao's cunning be able to think of the secret behind it? Once you know, the world will be in chaos.

Think about it, Da Chen already had an emperor, and now a crown prince from the late emperor suddenly appeared. This person was even more of the empress dowager's relatives. So... what would happen?

King Zhao will definitely be defeated. He will be in the death row, in the local area, in the army, in the court, including those royal relatives who support him, will definitely launch crazy attacks at all costs.

But since you can't take the initiative to contact me, what if Prince Wuji can take the high school provincial examination?

After passing the provincial examination, he was about to enter the Luoyang Academy. At that time, was the empress dowager still afraid that she would not find the opportunity to meet her son?

"Is that true?" The queen mother's lonely eyes suddenly became more colorful and said, "Can he really go to high school?"

Zhang Jing said: "Maybe...can be."

He didn't dare to make a promise, so he turned around and said, "This time, according to the ancestral system, the invigilator Zheng Wen has chosen to go to Jinling for invigilance. For the sake of caution, I dare not reveal anything to him. In addition, there is Zhang Jian, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. After this year, I will prepare to preside over the provincial examination in Jinling. I am not worried about Zheng Wen. Although Zheng Wen is greedy for money, he cannot cause any storms. Only Zhang Jian, this person..."

"This person has always been a loyal emperor?"

"Yes." Zhang Jing said: "I'm afraid he will be disgusted with Prince Wuji, so I'm so a servant..."

"I know." The Empress Dowager calmed down at this time: "He is an examiner. Do you dare to act based on his likes and dislikes? Moreover, in the past, he has always been absent from the provincial examinations. Even if he wants to judge based on his likes and dislikes, it is very difficult. Although he is the chief examiner, he is not the only one in the reviewer, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes, yes, it's a slave who's thinking apart."

At this time, the empress dowager stood up, and Zhang Jing hurriedly wanted to support her. She waved her sleeves lightly, and Zhang Jing hurriedly stepped back.

The Empress Dowager walked barefoot in this bedroom with copper bricks. It was cold at this time, and Zhang Jing couldn't help but frown: "Empress, take care of her health."

There was a coldness coming from under his feet. The empress dowager seemed to have not noticed it. She embroidered her eyebrows slightly: "Blessed by Emperor Taizu and the late emperor, Kaizhi will definitely be able to go to high school."

After all, the Empress Dowager is a woman. She always believes in this dark thing. Zhang Jing also said seriously: "Yes, Emperor Taizu and the late emperor will definitely bless the prince with safety and safety, and bless him to be able to go to high school in one go."

The moonlight was like a hook, with a bit of coldness. The miserable moonlight sneaked into the bedroom through the doors and windows of the bedroom. The empress dowager's crystal clear barefoot stepped under the moonlight. At this moment, she was like Chang'e in the osmanthus palace. Although it was the end of the year and it should have been a noisy moment, the empress dowager's body was a little more sad.

……………………

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Kaizhi went to Xun's house to visit with a gift. When he saw Xun You, Xun You seemed very happy. What surprised Chen Kaizhi the most was that there was no trace of bruises on his face.

Chen Kaizhi bowed and then put down the gift, then said, "I don't know if my aunt is here?"

"Cough cough..." After Chen Kaizhi finished speaking, he heard a crisp cough. Xun's mother came out of the inner room gracefully and said, "Kaizhi, you are going to take the exam, but... I heard from outsiders that your exam number is Ding Wu? Alas, who have you offended and was framed like this?"

Alas...it's true that everyone in Jinling knows it.

Chen Kaizhi bowed to Xun's mother: "Students have always been kind to others, but have never offended anyone."

"Who said that?" Xun's mother looked at Chen Kaizhi with a meaningful look: "I'm a clever eye, but I'm so happy. At the end of the year, Eunuch Zheng was beaten. However, many people know that the magistrate Bao is like a fire. According to his personality, he can't tolerate sand in his eyes, but he will not be quarrel with Qin Zhi for no reason. Okay, it's the New Year now, don't mention these despicable words, but you're probably going to be in trouble this time. If you take the exam three years later..."

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but think in his heart, is this Ding Wu exam really so terrible? Not so...

But although Chen Kaizhi doesn't believe that a test room can greatly affect the performance of a candidate, everyone is convinced that it seems as if Chen Kaizhi has been sentenced to death.

Chen Kaizhi was just a laugh at the newspaper and did not continue to talk in depth. Instead, he changed the topic: "How much salt can the workshop produce now?"

When Xun's mother said this, she immediately became aware of it: "Now I can drag nine thousand kilograms of salt from the salt farm every month. The fine salt produced is roughly around six or seven thousand kilograms. The three major salt merchants now have a huge sales volume. The price is raised and then it is sold out. After all, this is Jinling, a wealthy place. Even the nearby prefectures heard the news that some salt merchants there were also purchasing goods from the three major salt merchants, so these three major salt merchants no longer intend to sell coarse salt, and specialize in selling fine salt. The coarse salt they dragged out from the salt farm were sent to our workshop to process our fine salt workshop. I always thought that after the New Year, I would have to buy some more slaves and the output would be increased."

Chen Kaizhi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his profit would increase a lot in the future. Now, following the prescription of Emperor Taizu Gao, the precious medicinal materials needed more and more, and even bathing requires many precious medicinal materials to be thrown into the bathtub.

Such luxury made Chen Kaizhi want to give up sometimes, and he even had a big question. When Taizu seemed to have begun to learn Wenchang Picture before he had captured the world, he could not bear the world. So where did he get such huge wealth to supply his "cultivation"?

Chen Kaizhi urgently needed money now, but at this moment, he could not reveal it. He said to Xun's mother: "Just make the arrangements well."

Xun's mother nodded. Although she was talking about business, she was also observing Chen Kaizhi carefully.

When talking about the salt trading, Chen Kaizhi still looked like autumn water, as if he was unintentional, and Xun's mother couldn't help but be amazed.

This kid doesn’t look like a poor boy? He is clearly a young man from a noble family!

He is extraordinary in temperament. Although his mouth is stinking, his face is not full of turmoil, and he doesn't even have a look of greed.

It seems like... what good life he has lived in the past makes people feel inexplicably that such people seem to have food, clothing, daily life, and all of them are exquisite. Otherwise, if they were really poor, how could they not be moved at all?

How could Xun’s mother know that Chen Kaizhi’s two lives had already had a much higher vision. He had already foreseen the huge profits of Jingyan in the future. How could he feel surprising if he was expected? Moreover, making money is just to satisfy him for the time being to study Wenchang Pictures for the time being. Natural life can also be improved accordingly, but if he is greedy, it would not be possible.

After chatting for a while, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but muster up the courage and said, "Don't you know if Ya'er is here?"

Xun's mother smiled and said, "She? Ha... I'm so confused. I forgot to tell you that she had set out to Huating before the New Year."

Huating?

Chen Kaizhi remembers that Huating is a county, hundreds of miles away from Jinling, and is near the sea, but he doesn’t know why Xun Ya goes there during the New Year?

Xun's mother had seen Chen Kaizhi's question and said, "That is the ancestral place of our Xun family. All unmarried children should go there to pay homage to their ancestors. Don't you know?"

My surname is Chen, but not Xun. How do I know?

However, Chen Kaizhi generally knew that the Xun family was a wealthy family in Jiangnan. Such a family background was naturally scattered, and Jinling was just a branch of the Xun family. The ancients had a strong clan concept and strict clan laws, and the clan laws of each family were also different.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but feel a little regretful and was less interested, so he had to say, "Then it's time for students to visit their mentors."

Xun's mother's head gave Xun You a wink. Xun You realized something and hurriedly said, "Kaizhi, I'm sending you there."

Chen Kaizhi was busy and humble: "I dare not."
