Daming: What abandoned baby?That is the grandson of the old Zhu family!

Seeing that the day of Chunwei was approaching day by day, Ning Songyue didn't look nervous at all, she ate and drank well all day long, and often discussed knowledge with Zhu Xiongying in her spare time.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, Zhu Xiongying also slowly came to understand that although Ning Songyue didn't look a bit dazed, he was indeed a person with real talents and practical learning, and he also had his own views on governing the country. Among other things, Zhu Xiongying still appreciates this point very much.

People with real talents are naturally not afraid, and Zhu Xiongying also thinks that Ning Songyue will definitely win the first place in this spring competition.

"Huaiying, someone is looking for you outside." Xu Jinghan suddenly stepped into the door, put half his head in, and said to the inside.

Only then did Zhu Xiongying look away from the tree: "Who is it?"

"I don't know him, I don't know her face, but he looks quite handsome." Xu Jinghan replied.

"Well, let Ma Sanbao take the person to the front hall, I'll go later."

"Good."

Zhu Xiongying heard Xu Jinghan running away.

After a little grooming, Zhu Xiongying came out of the room.

Since you are a guest, you have to show the courtesy you deserve.

In the front hall, a man was wearing a blue gown, sitting upright on a chair drinking tea, his well-defined and slender fingers made the teacup in his hand look nicer.

With upright facial features, three courtyards and five eyes, it seems that he should be a gentleman with a clear demeanor.

Although Zhu Xiongying didn't know this person before, his first impression is not bad.

"I'm really sorry, there was a delay just now, and the guest has been waiting for a long time." Zhu Xiongying stepped forward and cupped his hands, "The guest came from a long way, so it's not surprising that we are disappointed."

Liu Ju quickly stood up and returned the salute: "Where is it, I don't invite you to come again, and I hope Mr. Xu will not take offense. My Liu Ju, I have heard Mr. Xu's name for a long time, and I am here today to pay a visit."

Liu Ju?It seems that I have heard this name somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while, Zhu Xiongying is a little distressed.

Liu Ju seemed to see Zhu Xiongying's distress, so he said to himself, "I'm just an ordinary scholar. It's normal that Mr. Xu has never heard of me."

"Where is it, Mr. Liu is a talented scholar at first glance, so self-effacing, it makes me feel a little embarrassed." Zhu Xiongying touched his nose.

The two looked at each other and smiled, turned and sat down.

"I also borrowed the wind from His Majesty to meet Mr. Xu, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come and disturb me casually." Liu Ju said softly and slowly.

Zhu Xiongying suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was introduced by Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang. He almost thought that he was famous, so he attracted some people from Shuntian Mansion to visit him.

It turned out to be thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's "big mouth".

Liu Ju smiled slightly: "Your Majesty has praised Mr. Xu a lot."

"Damn, that old man just likes to talk big, and I'm just a little smart. How dare I call myself amazing in front of Mr. Liu."

"Hey, Mr. Xu, don't be too modest. Liu can still tell how well this person cultivates. Mr. Xu must be an extraordinary person."

Talking to a scholar like Liu Ju is different. If you let me and I let you, you really need to be polite enough.

Zhu Xiongying cursed in his heart.

Enough of the politeness, Liu Ju stopped wasting time beating around the bush, and straight to the point explained the purpose of coming.

"I came to visit today. Apart from wanting to make friends with Mr. Xu, I also want to trouble Mr. Xu."

"Brother Liu, please speak."

"Liu just took up the post of Minister of Rites three years ago, and his qualifications are still low, but fortunately His Majesty trusted me and asked me to be the examiner for this Chunwei exam." Liu Ju said with a helpless smile, shaking his head, "Liu knows that he has little talent and learning, and he is afraid that because of his fault, he will delay thousands of students in the world who have studied hard for more than ten years, so he wants to ask Mr. Xu for help."

So that's what happened!Zhu Xiongying was surprised, this Zhu Yuanzhang must be too confident in himself!Wouldn't the Chunwei exam be equivalent to the college entrance examination and the national civil service exam in modern times?How could you let yourself intervene in such an important matter?
Are you not afraid of making mistakes?

Zhu Xiongying didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while, if something went wrong this time, it would not be a trivial matter.

What if Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he chopped off his head?
No way, I have worked so hard to "operate" for so many years, and it seems that I am about to fetch water from a bamboo basket?
"Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu!" Liu Ju raised his voice and called out twice.

Zhu Xiongying was interrupted by a voice, and then came back to his senses, and smiled embarrassedly at Liu Ju: "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Liu Ju nodded: "This matter is indeed of great importance. It must be normal for Mr. Xu to have concerns in his heart."

"Since Mr. Liu came to Mr. Zhao Xu under His Majesty's order in everything, it shows that His Majesty is very sure of Mr. Xu's talent. There is no need to doubt Mr. Xu. Your Majesty is a wise and decisive person, so he naturally did it after careful consideration. decided."

Liu Ju looked carefully at Zhu Xiongying's expression from the corner of his eye, and found that there was no change in the other party's expression, so he continued: "If Mr. Xu is still worried, you can go to His Majesty to explain it yourself. Liu's words have been brought, so don't continue to disturb Xu. My son is gone, so I’m taking my farewell.”

"Why come and go in such a hurry, why don't you stay and have dinner at my house."

"No, no, why bother Mr. Xu!"

Zhu Xiongying was a little bit dumbfounded, it seems that this scholar's pedantic and old-fashioned is really troublesome, especially at this time, the two of them insisted on being polite, and staged an extreme tussle.

"Hey, didn't they all talk about making friends? If that's the case, there is no trouble! We are not the kind of people who don't agree with each other!"

Zhu Xiongying is a straightforward person, which made Liu Ju more fond of him. He originally wanted to stay and have a good chat, but he had something to do at home and couldn't delay. Zhihai rejected Zhu Xiongying's kind invitation.

Zhu Xiongying got up quickly: "Since this is the case, I can't force it anymore, I will send Mr. Liu out."

After sending Liu Ju to the door, Zhu Xiongying looked at the carriage going away and leaned against the edge of the door.

This Chunwei exam is actually an opportunity. Zhu Yuanzhang has long been sure of himself. If he can strike while the iron is hot and seize the opportunity to make Zhu Yuanzhang recognize his ability to govern the country and the world, it will be regarded as a future for himself. paving.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying had already planned in her heart that it was impossible to do business for a lifetime. Moreover, in the environment of the Ming Dynasty that emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, doing business could only make money, but other than that, there were not many benefits.
