The two top scholar Xia Shujie was famous for his master, and the two second-level candidate Yu Zhengran immediately became the number one hot commodity in the eyes of all noble girls.

It is investigated that Yu Zhengran was the descendant of the Yu family, a wealthy businessman in the previous dynasty.

During the war between the two dynasties, the head of the Yu family disappeared. Some people say that the Yu family had built an island overseas and moved it to the island in batches; some people say that they hid in a paradise in the deep mountains, with mountains and mountains inside.

There are rivers, fields, farms, and all kinds of workshops in the water...

It was not until 17 years ago that the Yu family appeared again in Kacheng in the southwest, where they opened the Yu family's "good taste" restaurant. According to legend, the Yu family's wealth was "good taste".

Over the past decade, the "good taste" has almost spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are two in the capital.

However, now the only 17-year-old master of the Yu family is Yu Zhengran. I heard that Yu Zhengran has six loyal servants around him, including the head of the housekeeper Yu who is in charge of foreign affairs and the mother Yu who is in charge of all affairs in the house.

Because the master of the Yu family was young, the Yu family had no social engagements except business cooperation. The outside world did not know much about the current situation of the Yu family, and not many had friendships. There was only the Ding family in the capital.

The Ding family's ancestral home is in Kacheng. When the Yu family went to Kacheng, they bought a large mansion and Ding family on the same street, one on the street and the other at the end. However, the street was full of large mansions of wealthy families.

There are only five families on the street.

Once, the old lady of the Ding family was in a carriage and was shocked by firecrackers and ran wildly. Fortunately, the butler Yu passed by and subdued the horse to save the old lady Ding. After that, the two families began to communicate. Yu's inner butler Yu's mother knew very well.

The tips for health preservation and maintenance are very popular with the old ladies of the Ding family and several ladies.

Yu Zhengran and Ding Meier are also childhood sweethearts, and they are both very beautiful, Yuxue is cute, and the Ding family also likes to let them play together. Anyway, they are both young, and there are not as many people in Kacheng.

rules.

When Yu Zhengran was eleven or twelve years old, the Yu family suddenly left Kacheng and went to Yulin County. Only one servant left to take care of the house. It was said that Yu Zhengran's grandfather was sick and missed his grandson and asked Yu Zhengran to move with him.

live.

But in recent years, before Mrs. Ding and the others moved to the capital, during festivals, the servants of the Yu family still gave gifts to Ding's house. When Mrs. Ding and her gang went to Beijing, passed by Yulin, and sat in the Yu family's house.

sit.

This time Yu Zhengran went to Beijing to take the exam and also visited Ding Mansion as soon as possible.

Once Yu Zhengran's identity was "revealed". A number of official media and private media were flocking to it. You should know that the status of the Yu family back then was almost equivalent to that of the Nangong family, the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now, not to mention the rest, it is just that.

Zhou, the "good taste" of Keruliu Water is enough to support the whole family with good food and clothing, but Yu Zhengran is the only master of the Yu family.

The real rich man and both civil and military are all right! There are no parents-in-law who have to serve him when he comes in, and no sister-in-law or uncle have to worry about him... Except for people who have different intentions like the Ma family. Almost everyone who has stared at Xia Shujie before turned his attention to Yu Zheng immediately

Of course.

The Ma family is not looking down on Yu Zhengran, but in addition to their "ulterior motives", there is also Ma Linger's determination to "not marry if she is not Xia Shujie"?

In the Yu family's mansion, Mr. Yu brought the lord's intention to get married, Ma Ling'er of the Ma family, Niu Suer, the eldest daughter of the Minister of War Niu Chaoyang, or Sima Yan of the Duke of Anguo Mansion. Sima Yan was a little younger because she was a little older.

(12 years old), was ranked last.

Yu Zhengran was not very happy: "I am only seventeen years old, don't you hurry?" A little fairy's lively figure appeared in front of him. Unfortunately, she was too young. Only ten years old, Yu Zhengran became inexplicably depressed.

Mr. Yu smiled: "You are really not in a hurry. But those noble girls and their families are in a hurry. Young Master, these three of them are all beauties, and they have very good reputations and will not insult the young master. Besides, let's talk about it.

Then, marriage is mainly for help, and whether you like it or not is the second step. After the event is completed, what kind of woman does the young master want cannot?"

The reason is this, but I still feel uncomfortable. Of course, I can only feel uncomfortable in my heart and cannot say it out loud.

Mr. Yu knew that Yu Zhengran was a rational and patient master. Such a thing was not a problem at all, and he did not have any worries. He changed the topic: "Young master, the friendship between the same subject has always been valued, you must make good use of it. Your current main goals are

Two, one is to gain the trust of the emperor and key officials as soon as possible, and the other is to try to make friends with excellent new Jinshi, especially Xia Shujie. However, remember one sentence less, you can't achieve it. At present, you only need to make friends with them.

Just be OK. Pay attention to their preferences, personality, strengths and weaknesses, and don’t rush to win over them, so as not to arouse suspicion. That person has always been a suspicious person."

"Yes, I will be careful." Yu Zhengran nodded, and he was happy to make friends with Xia Shujie. "I thought I would go to the Hanlin Academy with him, but he had good luck and went directly to the person who was on duty."

Mr. Yu smiled comfortably and said, "He is Jin Xida's adopted son, and he has advantages that others do not have. Even without him, that person would not easily let another person have the job of being close to him like that. No one is envious of him.

Yes. If he could win him over, that would be a good thing.”

The two were having a passionate conversation, and Mother Yu came in, holding two posts in her hand, one was a document from the palace, and the Empress Dowager summoned four people from the new class, and it was tomorrow morning. The other was a post from Xia Zhai.

According to convention, the top scholar usually holds a friendship banquet after the errand is settled or the new house is completed (the top scholar who enters Beijing from other places must buy a house in the capital, or arranged by the court), and invites mentors (the examiner) and some of the same persons.

Take the Jinshi exam.

Most of the new top scholars in Beijing will hold celebration banquets and friendship banquets together to provide convenience for the noble family and noble ladies of the noble family.

Yao Xuelan had long received the requests of many wives, so Shujie's friendship banquet was also a celebration banquet for Xia's house.

Yao Xuelan informed Nangong Mansion early on.

Xia Zhai is not in charge of the mistress now. Although Yao Xuelan is in charge, Nangong Miao, as Shujie's fiancée, would be best to help entertain female guests that day. Nangong Miao and Mrs. Nangong both knew that Yao Xuelan was going to inspect Nangong.

I am so beautiful that I am naturally preparing carefully.

Shujie, Zhengran and four new students, including the third class, entered the palace together for the third time. The first time was to participate in the palace examination, the second time was to thank him in Xihe Palace, and the third time was to pay a visit to the Queen Mother.

When the four of them knelt down and bowed, the Empress Dowager raised her hand happily: "Let's just flat, they are all young talents. I hope you all can become pillars of the Great Zhou."

The Empress Dowager's face is full of appreciation. No wonder families with daughters of appropriate age in Beijing have been very enthusiastic recently and are ready to move. There is no need to say that she is the second-place winner and the second-place winner. If she is a princess of appropriate age, she will definitely not let go. The other two Tanhuas

He is also a bright and generous man with a good facial features.

The Empress Dowager first congratulated Shujie. Not only did he win the top scorer in both civil and military affairs, but he also had a happy marriage. Empress Dowager Nangong Miao also saw her, she was extremely beautiful, generous and likable. If it weren't for the usual taboo of the Nangong family, and the royal family's conscience.

The Nangong family has long had a tacit understanding of "not intermarriage", and the Empress Dowager probably had already made a decision for her grandson or nephew.

The Empress Dowager knew that the emperor was becoming more and more taboo about the expansion of foreign relatives. The Empress Dowager also knew that the emperor had politely rejected Concubine Ma before. She was the emperor's biological mother, so she naturally strongly supported her son and set an example for the concubines in the harem.

Therefore, it is impossible for her to arrange a marriage between her nephew and grandchildren, who is as powerful as the Nangong family, even her nieces and nephews, who ask her to give Xia Shujie and Yu Zhengran the marriage, but she doesn't agree.

All the talents that the emperor is optimistic about and is ready to focus on cultivating.

Looking at Yu Zhengran, who was arrogant and handsome, the Empress Dowager thought of Sima Yan, well, the difference between five years is not too much. The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more she felt that it was a good marriage. She planned to summon Duke An to discuss tomorrow.

I know if Anguo Duke’s Mansion has any other candidates to look at.

The Empress Dowager talked with the four of them for a while, expressed her concern for their family and expectations for them, and the last one rewarded a famous inkstone.

After the four of them left, the Empress Dowager smiled at Mama Liu and said, "How about you say that Yu Zhengran is good for Yan'er? Both of them are excellent."

Mama Liu hesitated for a moment and replied: "Princess Yan seems to be very special to Prince Yong." What can you hide from the Empress Dowager?

The queen mother smiled and said, "But Jun Ao (Qi Haoning's word) doesn't like her. This child, for some reason, is always dark in Yan'er at a young age, and it's not like Yue'er and Si Yatou.

That's so harmonious." The Empress Dowager does love Sima Yan, but she won't force Qi Haoning to do it for Sima Yan, that's her grandson.

Although Prince Yong was not born by the Queen Mother, she was raised by her since childhood. Without Prince Yong, the emperor could not defeat the Queen Mother so smoothly and succeed to the throne. Until now, Prince Yong still defended the territory for the emperor on the southwest border.

Remediate turmoil.

Therefore, not only the emperor, but also the empress dowager, also trusted and was close to Prince Yong. When the emperor ascended the throne, he personally named Prince Yong as hereditary Prince Yong. He was even more glorious than Prince Qi, the legitimate brother born to his mother. The empress dowager did not object. The empress dowager matched the empress dowager.

Haoning and Qi Yueling's brothers and sisters are no less favored than their relatives, especially Qi Yueling, who was taken to Cining Palace to raise when he was over two years old. Who doesn't know that Princess Yue is the treasure of the Empress Dowager?

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Madam Liu hurriedly echoed: "No? Prince Ning has loved Princess Yue and the Fourth Princess since she was a child, and she looks like a good brother. She looks like the one in Xia Zhuangyuan."

Shujie and the other four left the Cining Palace and did not go far. Dafuzi's father-in-law came to find Shujie in person: "Xia Zhuangyuan, the emperor and Concubine Ma want to see you, and are waiting in the Yihe Palace." Concubine Ma actually had

The title is called Concubine Yi, but except for formal occasions such as enthronement ceremony and sacrifice, everyone is used to calling her Concubine Ma. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
