Chapter 48
"A-Ning, look at the young man with Xiao Huai. He used to be a student of Master Yu, named Wei Zichen. He has already won the Juren at twenty-one. Master Yu thinks that Xiao Huai is very talented, so he introduced him to This Young Master Wei knows him, so he has many contacts."

Ji Ning nodded. No wonder the first time she went to find Master Yu, she saw him helping him carry the table and chairs. It turned out to be the relationship between the master and the students.

After a while, Ji Huai knocked on the door outside: "Mother, sister, I brought Mr. Wei, who is from the same family as me, to say hello to you."

Ji Ning hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, got up and opened the door himself: "Please come inside."

Wei Zichen had met Ji's father and mother before. Although he passed the exam at a young age, no one knew whether he would be able to pass high school this time. It was for the benefit of both parties to introduce him to the Ji family.

As far as he is concerned, if he fails the exam, someone can help him inquire about some things, such as the examiner's preferences, and so on.

If he passed the exam, most of the imperial court did not assign official positions so quickly. He might have to stay in Beijing for a long time, and he would also need help and news channels.

As far as Ji Huai is concerned, his status as a Juren is able to cover the Ji family a little bit, and he can also guide Ji Huai in his studies.

Ji Ning recognized him, and he naturally recognized Ji Ning. The two nodded and said a few words to Ji's mother before turning around and leaving, but a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Zichen, where are you?" ? Zichen, here is the good news for you."

The man didn't care that this was a tea house, and suddenly shouted.

Seeing this, Wei Zichen hurriedly said sorry and went downstairs.

"Hu Bin, keep your voice down, this is a tea house."

Ji Ning, Ji Mu and the others also went downstairs, not because they were gossiping, but because of the man's arrival, many people surrounded the door, and there were even two men in official uniforms with knives pinned to their waists Following behind is not inconspicuous.

The two went downstairs, just in time to hear the man pointing to the official behind him irresistibly: "Zichen, you passed the exam, and you're still Huiyuan!"

Seeing this, the two officials behind him also congratulated Wei Zichen: "Congratulations to Hui Yuangong, this is your brochure."

Huiyuan, which means No.1 in this examination, and the date of the palace examination written on the brochure, only the top three in the examination can get it, and the top three will also come out of it in the future.

At first, the onlookers saw that the new store just opened today, and there were officials coming to the door. They thought they had committed something, but they didn't expect that it was Huiyuan, and Huiyuan came to this teahouse.

For a while, apart from being envious of Wei Zichen, those people also had an impression of this teahouse.

Before returning to the restaurant, the servant she sent came to tell him that Wan Cen had won, but it was the bottom number two.

Ji Ning was a little disappointed. He didn't expect Wan Cen to have some real talents. Even the noisy environment of the restaurant didn't make him fail the ranking.

After returning to the restaurant, I saw Wan Cen changed into brocade clothes, beamingly ordered a large table of food, surrounded by students who congratulated him, and three different types of beautiful maids around Wan Cen made many people feel happy. People are envious, and for a while it looks like a spring breeze.

Liu Zhen saw her sharp-eyed, and rushed to announce the good news: "Madam, the master has won the prize, and he will be a Jinshi from now on."

Many congratulators around also came to congratulate Ji Ning, Ji Ning all nodded and smirked.

Naturally, Wan Cen also saw Ji Ning, and felt even more proud. Although he failed to pass the top three exams, Jinshi is good, and his status is much higher than that of Juren. You can become an official in three years.

Thinking of this, Wan Cen became even more courageous, and suddenly darkened his face to give Ji Ning a bad impression: "Madam, where did you go on this good day when the list was announced? I didn't see you buying anything!"

This is for Ji Ning to give him an explanation.

Ji Ning is not a vegetarian, the word forbearance has never been in her dictionary, since Wan Cen wants her to lose face, let's see who is losing face.

"My father's teahouse opened today, why can't I, as my own daughter, help out a little?"

The students around had already had some friendship with Wan Cen, and seeing him being generous after leaving school, they thought he was a son of a rich family, but they didn't expect the reason why his wife was a businessman.

Many people's eyes were unpredictable, and many even looked down on Ji Ning in their hearts.

"Master Yuezhang has come to the capital?" After finishing speaking, he thought of the people around him, and hurriedly calmed down, "Look at you, Yuezhang didn't tell me when he came to the capital. familiar."

"Really? My family contributed money and effort to support you to study. After you won the Juren, you didn't even come to the door to thank and announce the good news. I thought you looked down on the Yue family, which has a family of merchants, so I didn't tell you."

Wan Cen's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Ji Ning fiercely. If this word got out, he would be called ungrateful. This was another reason why he never divorced his wife.

"Madam misunderstood me. At that time, I won the exam. I was busy reviewing books, and there was no time to go to the county poetry meeting and the county magistrate's invitation. So I thought that I would come to the door to express my thanks after I was awarded a Jinshi." , since Mr. Yuezhang has already come to the capital, it is better to hit the sun if we choose another day, shall we visit again in the afternoon?"

"Okay, I'll go up to rest first, you can eat slowly."

On the second day, Wan Cen bought some pastries and fruits and went to Ji Ning's teahouse with Ji Ning. As for Ji Huai's acquaintance with Wei Zichen, he did not disclose.

Father Ji and Wan Cen had a pretend exchange of greetings for a while, and when they learned that Ji Huai was preparing to take the exam this year, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. He thought he was hiding it well, but was noticed by Father Ji, who was paying attention to him. The smile on his face was even more distant.

A few days later, the imperial examination was over, and Wei Zichen was hand-picked as the number one scholar.

As soon as the news came out, the Ji family teahouse also became popular. Many people heard that Zhuangyuan Lang drank tea in the teahouse when he was in Zhonghuiyuan, and there were even rumors that it was because he drank in the newly opened teahouse. The tea in it won the number one prize. Many people came to Ji’s teahouse to drink tea at that time. When it was full, they simply bought tea and went home to drink it by themselves.

And Wan Cen also ushered in the selection examination for Jinshi, as long as he can enter the top [-], he may be awarded an official position.

For this reason, apart from the poetry meeting, Wan Cen spent the whole day studying hard, and he didn't even touch a few maids when he entered.

I don't know what kind of luck Wan Cen has gone through, but he has overcome all difficulties and become a good man just like his previous life.

After Wan Cen became a concubine, he started to get angry again, but he ran out of money within a few days. However, the person who borrowed his money before had already borrowed nearly a thousand taels because of three times and four times, and he still didn't pay the money. It reminded him of Ji Ning.

At that time, Ji Ning had just finished taking a bath, and Wan Cen almost forgot what he wanted to say because his face was rosy from the steaming heat, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand.
