imperial decree arrives

Chapter 724 Advance the Imperial Examination
Feng Sheng said madly.

Ning Caichen spread his hands: "What's the dowry?"

Qiao Sheng also spread his hands: "Who is the matchmaker?"

Feng Sheng: "...!!!"

"In my opinion, it's better for the three of you to go to the Zhao family to ask for marriage."

The servant girl said seriously, anyway, if you go to one, you will go, and if you go to three, you will go.

"Yes!"×3
……

The three of them didn't go directly to ask for marriage. As mentioned before, who is the matchmaker?
The three of them are all scholars, they have never been matchmakers before, so naturally they don't understand the business, if they make a mistake, wouldn't they harm Sun Tzuchu.

What worries the three most is the gift money.

The Zhao family is a big family, and the gift money cannot be shabby.

But among the four of them, except grandson Chu Pingri, who still had some savings, Ning Caichen was penniless, Feng Sheng was sometimes rich and sometimes short of money, and Qiao Sheng had savings, but not much.

Sun Zichu's savings must not be moved, otherwise Sun Zichu will notice.

Then there are only three people left, well, the problem is back to the original point.

"Sorrow, worry, worry about the white boy's head. Hey, tell me, why is this money so hard to earn?"

Feng Sheng scratched his hair and said dejectedly.

Ning Caichen and Qiao Sheng were frowning.

"I don't think it's better... I get some money out?"

Xiao Xie wisely made a suggestion.

"this is okay!"

When Feng Sheng heard this, he nodded immediately.

Ning Caichen and Qiao Sheng shook their heads and refused: "No, how can we be fooled about the marriage."

"Then what do you say?"

Feng Sheng said angrily.

Qiao Sheng stood up and said, "I'll figure out how to deal with the money."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Qiao Sheng in surprise. Qiao Sheng didn't explain, but left alone, leaving everyone with confused faces.

"He... Where did he get so much money?"

Ning Caichen shook his head, and Xiao Xie also shook his head.

……

"The imperial examination is advanced..."

"The imperial examination is advanced..."

"The imperial examination is advanced..."

The sound of the gongs and drums of the officials was heard everywhere in the capital, and many notices were posted on the bulletin boards, and what was written on them was exactly what the officials said.

The imperial examination is ahead of schedule!

There is no sign, and there is no sign. No one knows the news of the advance of the imperial examination, as if it appeared out of thin air today.

As soon as a group of scholars heard what the officials said, they flocked to the bulletin board to see if the news was reliable.

"This...why is it so early? It's only half a month before a certain person can memorize all the book knowledge in his mind. This is suddenly ahead of schedule, what a pity!"

"Ah, I and my friends recite poems every day, drink and have fun, and wait for the imperial examination to become a blockbuster. Now that it is ahead of schedule, it really is God's help!"

"The advance of the scientific examination is enough to show that I am eager to seek talents on the pilgrimage. This time the imperial examination, I will definitely pass!"

"It's a good thing I've arrived in the capital, otherwise I'd be shocked to hear about this shocking change, even if I don't stop, I may not be able to catch up with the time, but that's okay, I can only blame them for their bad luck, time is fate, and destiny is mine."

"...!!"

Discussions continued, and within a short time, [-]% of the scholars in the capital already knew the news.

There are those who are sad, there are those who are joyful, and there are those who are both sad and happy.

Compared with the past, the capital seemed to become more serious overnight, and groups of students were no longer seen wandering in the streets and alleys to comment on various things in the capital.

Naturally, the business of those Qingguan restaurants is much worse than before, and it has become a little deserted.

In the early morning, the sound of reading in various taverns came and went, which became the only rare phenomenon in the capital during these days.

……

The advance of the scientific examination did not disrupt the plans of Ning Caichen and others. When Qiao Sheng took out a small box of gifts as promised, Ning Caichen and Qiao Sheng were completely stunned.

"Brother Qiao, where did you find all this money?"

Feng Sheng even stammered and asked.Growing up so big, he had never seen so much silver.

Ning Caichen also looked at Qiao Sheng in shock. Like Feng Sheng, he was also full of doubts.

Qiao Sheng already knew that the two of them would have such doubts, so he said: "Don't worry, the money came from a bright future, I'm afraid I wouldn't have taken it if it wasn't for Zi Chu. Now that the money has been prepared, there is no need to delay, let's go to Zhao's house Propose marriage to Mr. Zhao."

"It's not good... it's not good..."

As they said that, the three of them were about to get up, when they suddenly heard Sun Zichu's voice from outside the door. The three of them were a little frightened. Could it be that Zichu already knew about it.Before the three of them thought about it, they saw Sun Zichu rushing into the room. Qiao Sheng put the box away before Sun Zichu came in. As soon as Sun Zichu entered the room, he panted and said to the three: "No ...something is going wrong..."

"You...you know?"

Feng Sheng thought that the other party already knew that they were going to propose marriage for him, so he spoke quickly and asked directly.Ning Caichen gave Feng Sheng a push. Fortunately, Qiao Sheng was not thinking about the two of them at the moment, but when Sun Zichu heard Feng Sheng's words, he was inexplicably stunned.

"Know what?"

Ning Caichen and Qiao Sheng looked at Feng Sheng, and Feng Sheng also knew that he had slipped up, so he laughed.

Sun Tzuchu didn't go into it because there was something very important right now, and he only heard Sun Tzuchu say: "The big thing is bad, the imperial examination... the imperial examination... has been advanced!"

"what?"

"What did you say?"

"Why is it suddenly early?"

The expressions of the three people were different, but without exception, they were all shocked after hearing this.

The three of them looked at Sun Zichu, who was flustered by Sanri's staring eyes. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Sun Zichu shook his head and said, "I went to find Abao today, and I heard a bunch of people discussing this matter along the way. As for the matter, after I went to see the notice, I realized that this matter was not a rumor, but true. The imperial examination has been advanced, and the imperial examination will begin in half a month!"

The three of them looked at each other without saying a word. The three of them had been worrying about Sun Tzuchu's affairs at home these past few days, and they had never gone out once. No one thought that such an important matter as the imperial examination would be moved ahead of schedule.

The news caught the three of them off guard. Without saying a word, the three left Sun Tzuchu behind and ran out.

"Where is the notice?"

"Everywhere on the street!"

After the three left, Sun Zichu was planning to follow closely behind, but the moment he turned around, Sun Zichu suddenly saw a box that Qiao Sheng had left behind.Sun Zichu was a little curious, walked over, opened it, and saw that Sun Zichu was suffocated for a moment, it was full of silver.

Snapped!
Sun Zichu covered the box, put it away, and ran out with the three of them.

……

After an unknown amount of time, the four of Ning Caichen came back dejectedly. Just as Sun Tzuchu said, the imperial examination was advanced, and the official notice was issued. How could there be a fake?

The notice did not tell everyone why the time was revised, but only noted some things that should be paid attention to after the revised time.

"Caichen, Qiao Sheng, don't look downcast. This may not be a bad thing for us."

Feng Sheng was optimistic by nature, so he persuaded the two of them.

Sun Tzuchu also nodded and said: "That's right, what Feng Sheng said is right. You have already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics and other scriptures. If the imperial examination is advanced this time, wouldn't it be possible to let the world know your strength faster?"
