After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

The emperor was still hesitant in the end, and finally called several cabinet ministers as well as the eldest prince, fourth prince, fifth prince, and Xiao Mochen to discuss it.

Several people also hold different opinions. The most controversial ones are Han Yu and Ji Tongwen.

Ji Tongwen is the grandson of Mr. Ji Ge, and the eldest prince strongly advocated for him to be the number one scholar in order to win over Mr. Ji Ge.

Xiao Mochen stood up and objected: "Ji Tongwen may be better than Han Yu in literary talent, but his insights on this policy are indeed not as good as Han Yu."

Xiao Moyan thought that Xiao Mochen was playing against him, and said angrily: "Ji Tongwen is the grandson of Mr. Ji Ge, and he is definitely much better than the unknown Han Yu in terms of literary talent and policy."

Xiao Mochen counterattacked: "The purpose of the Imperial Examination in Dayan is to select talents and give students from poor families a chance to get official positions, rather than based on family background.

This policy paper shows that it is Han Yu's insights that can better solve the problem. "

In fact, the emperor thought so too, but since Ji Ge was present, he had to worry about his face.

So he asked: "Ji Aiqing, what do you think?"

Mr. Ji Ge:......

Mr. Ji Ge felt bitter in his heart. He wanted to recommend his grandson, but the emperor asked him how to answer.

If he recommends his grandson, how will the civil and military officials of the dynasty view him, and how will the emperor view him?

Ji Tongwen is the pride of their Ji family. He has been trained as their successor since childhood.

Before Ji Tongwen took the imperial examination, Mr. Ji Ge was full of confidence, thinking that his grandson would be the winner.

Who knew that Han Yu would appear out of thin air.

Mr. Ji Ge finally gritted his teeth and said: "Although Tong Wen's literary talent is outstanding and not comparable to ordinary people, in terms of actual experience, he may not be as good as Han Juren who came from a poor family."

When the emperor heard this, he patted his thigh and said, "Mr. Ji Ge is indeed very righteous. Since Mr. Ji Ge also agrees to make Han Yu the number one scholar, it's settled."

Mr. Ji Ge:......

When did he say this? The emperor deliberately distorted his meaning.

Immediately afterwards there was a chorus of compliments, saying that Mr. Ji appointed people on their merits and loved the younger generation. He was worthy of being a veteran of the three dynasties and a role model for the courtiers of the Great Yan Dynasty.

A group of grass and mud horses galloped past in Mr. Ji Ge's heart. This is a role model for you. Do you want it or not?

What his grandson lost was his position as number one scholar.

Since the emperor appointed Han Yu as the number one scholar, Ji Tongwen had to settle for second place.

The Tanhua is Mu Yang, and the Chuanlu is naturally Xing Wenfeng.

Although this Chuanlu is in the second class, he is the first in the second class.

Why is Mu Yang the third most beautiful girl? The main reason is that Mu Yang is good-looking. Although the other three are not bad, Mu Yang is particularly good-looking.

After all, there is no ugly person in all the previous top picks.

Four people were also awarded the title of Jinshi.

The results of the palace examination were announced on the spot.

Han Yu didn't expect that he would win the top prize. After all, he could feel that there were many talented people in this year's exam.

Moreover, he does not have a strong backing, so the position of No. 1 pick should not fall to him.

No matter what, the result is always good.

The people who ranked higher congratulated each other.

Ji Tongwen was also very graceful. Although he missed the number one spot, he still had a smile on his face.

He is very open-minded about this matter. There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.

He is also convinced that Han Yu is the number one scholar.

Several of them were not very old, and they had made an appointment to go to Zhuangyuan Building for a drink when they had time.

But their work is not over yet. The No. 1 pick, No. 2 pick and No. 3 pick need to be paraded through the streets.

This is a great honor, and they are naturally happy.

News from the palace spread quickly.

As soon as Ruyi finished her bet, the results of the palace exam came out.

Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Their wife had deposited fifty thousand taels of silver.

This is half of their wife's private treasury.

This is the remaining silver left after their wife sold off the family's property last time, plus the reward from the emperor and the gifts given by various families when their wife was awarded the second-grade imperial edict.

This is not a small sum of money if you lose it.

That's why Ruyi was more nervous than anyone else when the young man from the gambling shop came in panting.

The boss of the gambling shop stepped forward in person and asked, "How's the result?"

The boy was so tired and out of breath that he could only nod his head.

The gambling house owner asked again: "Who won the top prize, is it Ji Tongwen, the grandson of Mr. Ji Ge?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the gambling house all looked at the boy who delivered the message.

Most of them had bet, and more of them bet on Ji Tongwen. Of course, there were also some who bet on other people, such as Yan Qingqing.

But such people are very few.

Amid everyone's expectations, the boy shook his head.

Everyone looked disappointed when they saw this.

Even the gambling house owner looked disappointed, but he also placed a bet.

After being disappointed, the casino owner asked again: "Tell me, who won the top prize?"

The boy calmed down and said intermittently: "Xuancheng Mansion... Han Yu, a student of Chengyang."

There was an uproar when these words came out. How could it be Han Yu? If they had known it, they would have taken Han Yu into custody.

Han Yu is also very talented, but his family background is a bit inferior. But it was too late for them to regret.

Ruyi on the side was overjoyed when he heard this, it was really Mr. Han.

Their wife placed a bet of fifty thousand taels of silver, paying ten for each one. How much money did she get? This time her wife really made a fortune.

Moreover, she also placed a bet of fifty taels of silver, which was all her property.

Now she is also a little rich woman. No servant in the house can compare with her, and she will be much stronger when she gets married in the future.

Thinking of this, Ruyi couldn't care about anything else, and quickly got on the carriage and rushed home.

She wanted to tell Madam about this as soon as possible.

Yan Qingqing is discussing with Li Xiangan the opening of the shop.

Li Xiangan smiled and said: "The shop has been fully decorated according to mother's requirements.

Moreover, our Rouge Factory in the suburbs of Beijing has also produced the first batch of goods.

But the quantity is not large, should we ask them to speed up production? "

Yan Qingqing shook her head and said: "No, these high-end products are different from ordinary products, we have to carry out hunger marketing.

After all, it is a huge profit product, and it will be worthless if it is spread all over the streets. "

Li Xiangan has been studying business with Yan Qingqing for a long time, and he knows something about hunger marketing.

However, Li Xiangan's eyelids twitched when he heard Yan Qingqing's eyes shining when he mentioned huge profits. Why did he feel like his mother was going to do something cruel?

So I asked with some anxiety: "Mom, how do you plan to price these products?"

Yan Qingqing casually took a written price list from the table and handed it to Li Xiangan.

Li Xiangan gasped after seeing the price set by Yan Qingqing. This is too cruel, must his mother be so poor and crazy?
