Every day I want to quit my job and farm

Before the end of the new year, Shen Xie introduced Hongyan, Xu Xie and others as he wished.Among them were Gong Heng and some students from the Junzi Pavilion.The same students who took part in the scientific examination this time had a lot to say when they met.As soon as the ancient articles were mentioned, Shen Xi felt like he was listening to a book from heaven.Whether you understand it or not, you have to watch what a group of them are talking about getting more and more excited. Shen Hao said that it was too difficult for him.

The list of annual banquets is announced every year, and Shen Yu is on it.But unless Emperor Xuanhe called his name, Shen Hao always had various reasons not to attend the banquet in the palace.Emperor Xuanhe no longer insisted, after all, based on experience, once Shen Xi attended the banquet, something would definitely happen.

Emperor Xuanhe tacitly agreed that Shen Hao could not attend any banquets in the palace, including the birthday banquets of Emperor Xuanhe himself and the princes and masters.With tacit acquiescence, none of the civil and military ministers dared to talk too much.In fact, they hoped that Shen Xi would not participate, so that they could have a peaceful feast.

During the Chinese New Year, the general's mansion cannot do without the principals of Zhuangzi from all over the place to pay the bills.Shen Ya learned from Shen Yun and Shen Sixiang last year, and Qiao Ke gave them all the power to deal with it.The General's Mansion during the Chinese New Year was very lively, so naturally people would ask about the marriages of the princes and girls in the mansion.Earlier, Shen Hao promised to meet up with young men and women of the right age, and organized a blind date meeting with great fanfare, but there were not many couples, so it was delayed.

Shen Hao lost interest in this matter, so Qiao Ke had to ask them if they had someone they liked.If there is, he can help to meet, if not, he will arrange it after the new year.Many people have suitable candidates in their minds, and Qiao Ke asked Pinhui to take a pen and paper to write down them one by one.

Listening to those people saying who's son is good, who's girl is handsome, Shen Hao just wants to sneer.Heard and heard, has no one seen it with their own eyes?Don't you know that the matchmaker's mouth is a deceiving ghost?This is also believed, not afraid to push the child into the fire pit.

Speaking of seeing each other, Mrs. Shen thought of the three girls, Shen Ya.They are all of marriageable age, if they don't see each other anymore... She looked at Shen Xi, who didn't care about this matter, and didn't say anything.Shen Ya herself didn't want to marry so early, and Shen Yun's temperament became more and more wild, so Shen Sixiang still looked like a boudoir daughter.However, she didn't know whether she was influenced by Shen Ya or something, but she didn't mention anything about the marriage.

The elders are in a hurry, but the juniors themselves are not in a hurry.The busy New Year's Eve has passed, and people started walking around to send off the festival and celebrate the New Year.Shen Yuwo didn't go anywhere at home, so Hongyan and others came over to see him.When the imperial pen is opened again, Chun Wei is in full swing.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Qiao Ke told Shen Yuyang that the steward had arrived.Steward Yang is at Wu Xi's home, waiting to see Shen Xi.

Shen Xi nodded knowingly, then hid in the study and didn't go anywhere.The next day, he went to Wu Xi's house alone and handed over the recipe written by Manager Yang.Steward Yang was shocked after taking it, and Wang Zichuan also took a look: "Such a big deal, why don't you contact the Bai family?"

"No, wait for them to come to the door by themselves." Shen Hao wrote about the recipes of fermented bean curd, chili sauce, etc. If it is done well, it will be a big business. "You find someone to make it, and Manager Yang will be responsible for the delivery. Leave the Bai family alone, Let them join when I say let them join."

Wang Zichuan nodded: "When it's done, I'll send it to you for a taste. If you're not satisfied, we won't sell it."

"Very good." Shen Yan smiled and said solemnly, "Remember, this business can only be transported by Manager Yang's merchant ship. Even if the Bai family joins later, you can't let them get involved. Although I will negotiate terms with them, but It’s hard to guarantee that they won’t play tricks behind their backs.”

Although Guanshi Yang knew that this move was beneficial to him, he didn't quite understand why Shen Hao did it.Relatively speaking, the Bai family's transport fleet is larger and has more transport routes.What's more, the Bai family not only has water routes, but also has special caravans on land routes, and they can make more money by entrusting them.

Wang Zichuan and Wu Xi guessed something.Shen Hao probably wanted to support them to control the Bai family, and it is not a good thing for the Bai family to dominate.

No matter what Shen Xi plans, they will not refuse this deal.How can a businessman see the opportunity to make money slip away.

After Shen Xi came back from Wu Xi's house, he asked people from the Fusheng faction to deliberately leak that the Wang family had a new opportunity to make money.I believe that the Bai family will look for him soon, but he has no time to meet the members of the Bai family during the recent imperial examination.Let it dry for a while, and then negotiate the terms when the time is right.

Beginning on the ninth day of February, students lined up to enter the examination room.When Shen Xi saw the students being searched and their clothes stripped one by one before the examination room, he felt cold watching them.The imperial examination was presided over by the Ministry of Rites and had nothing to do with Shen Xi, so he stopped by to have a look.I want to feel the ancient scientific examination. After reading it, I am very glad that I don't have to take the scientific examination.Not to mention the difficult conditions, his article really made it difficult.

The exam is divided into three sessions, each lasting three days.In the hellish nine days, those who can walk out standing up after all the exams are considered amazing.Many students were carried out lying down, or collapsed when they walked to the door.Seeing such a tragic scene, Shen Xi couldn't help shaking his head.

Seventeenth is the last day of the scientific examination, and then the courtyard will be closed to review the examination papers.The students waited for the day when the results would be released, and tried their best to rest and recover.On the day when the announcement was made, the yamen was crowded with people, and many people were looking forward to it, hoping to become an official in the court once they entered high school.

This time, more than 200 people were admitted to the examination. For a while, some people were happy and some were worried.After the general examination, those who won the list will participate in the palace examination on March 200th.The palace examination lasted for one day, and the emperor personally set the questions to determine the ranking of the imperial examination.The hustle and bustle of the capital has not dissipated. On March [-]th, more than [-] people from the list entered the palace to participate in the palace examination.It was rare for Emperor Xuanhe to invite Shen Xie to take a look together, and they walked into the hall.

Every student in the hall takes the exam seriously. There are soldiers standing guard in the hall, and several examiners stop and go among the students to read the articles.Seeing Emperor Xuanhe, the examiner bowed and saluted, and the students knelt down and shouted long live, but Emperor Xuanhe asked them to continue the exam without bowing.

Shen Xi glanced roughly at the students taking the exam, and saw Hong Yan, Xu Xie, Gong Heng and others.Emperor Xuanhe noticed Shen Yu's gaze and walked to Hong Yan's side.Shen Xi had no choice but to follow. At this time, he admired Hongyan's psychological endurance very much, and his hands didn't shake at all.

The examiner read Hong Yan's article and praised Xuanhe Emperor.Emperor Xuanhe smiled after hearing this: "Bufan, come and take a look."

After being ordered to read Hong Yan's article, Shen Xi's first reaction was: the words are really beautiful.He couldn't understand the content of the citations, he only knew that the content of the exam seemed to emphasize how to employ people.Shen Xi thought about it, and answered honestly: "My Majesty, I don't understand."

Emperor Xuanhe laughed: "It's only you who can say that you don't understand. Let me ask you, a friend who is able to help you and a friend who can only eat, drink and have fun. What would you choose? Don't say both If you don’t choose, I order you to choose.”

Shen Xi frowned, why do you still remember the few questions at the beginning?He thought about it: "I choose friends who can eat, drink and have fun."

Not only Xuanhe Emperor, but even the examiner was shocked.Many students were affected and ink was left on the paper.Hong Yan lowered her eyes, unaffected.Xuan and Di were puzzled: "Why? No matter who chooses a friend who is able to help, right? Tell me."

"The emperor said that that friend only knows how to eat, drink, and play, but I can't see it all." Shen Xi smiled, "Eating, drinking, and having fun is also a kind of ability. Being able to eat, drink, play, and have fun proves that he is not short of food and clothing, or that he is rich. If you don’t lack anything, why can’t you enjoy it?”

"You are tricky." Xuan Hedi patted Shen Yu on the shoulder, "I think if you really know such a friend, you will be led astray sooner or later."

Shen Xi smiled and said nothing.He wants to eat, drink and have fun, but they are willing to let him go.Or send someone to bring him down.

After that, Xuanhedi read the articles of several students, and then left with Shen Xie.After the palace examination, the emperor will hand-pick the champion, the second place, and the best candidate.Shen Xi inquired that when the champion and others were parading through the streets, they could throw flowers at the houses on the street.

Shen Hao was very interested in things he hadn't tried before, so he specially asked people to prepare a lot of flowers.It turned out that there was still the Golden Palace Chuanhe that day, and he, a fourth-rank official, had to enter the palace to participate in this grand event.Unable to reject it, he had to go to participate, and Shen Xi was listless and entered the palace wearing an official uniform.

The admitted students knelt outside the hall one by one according to their grades, and the officials of Honglu Temple called their names.The number one scholar Hongyan, the second place Gong Heng, the Tanhua Xu Xie, this is the first class, the name is called three times, and they come out and kowtow.After hearing this, Shen Xi was full of question marks, what the hell, are they so strong?Forget about Mr. Hong, but his little apprentice and Gong Heng are also so powerful?Ah, it can't be... Shen Xi couldn't help but look up at the sky.

After that, the names of the top two names are called, and the names of the top three names are called after that. They are only sung once and will not be listed.After passing on for a long time, Shen Xi's feet were numb.After it was finally over, he was the first to rush out of the palace, and went straight to the private room of the restaurant on the main street to throw flowers.

In the private room, Qiao Ke took Shen You, Zhao Li took her daughter, and there were many different flowers on the table.Shen Xi ran all the way, he went in and sat down to rest his breath: "Mr. Hong is the number one scholar, Gong Heng is second in the list, and Xu Xie is looking for flowers. Wait for them to come, and sprinkle flowers down desperately."

Qiao Ke smiled: "Congratulations to Mr. Hong, the champion of high school. As expected of Mr. Hong, the number one scholar."

Zhao Lizi was very happy, and also congratulated Shen Yu's apprentice Zhong Tanhua.They waited, and the more Shen Xi waited, the more anxious he became, why didn't he come?

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums was deafening, and the people cheered.Shen Xie and the others lay at the window and saw Hong Yan wearing a red champion uniform and a champion cap riding a horse leading the way, while Tanhua, who was ranked second, also changed clothes, riding behind, and the rest of the students walking behind.The common people saw that the three of them were handsome, and threw flowers at them one after another.They were cheering, shouting, full of enthusiasm.

Shen Xi hurriedly brought the flowers over, and gave a few to each of them: "Get ready. When they come over, throw them down, whether he can hit them or not."

The horse came slowly, getting closer and closer.Shen Xi picked up the flowers and threw them down, it was too troublesome to throw them one by one.Shen You and Hong Yan's daughters were also very happy, holding flowers in her mother's arms and throwing them down one by one.After throwing away, Qiao Ke and Zhao Li gave flowers.When the three of Hongyan approached, he sprinkled them all down, like a waterfall of flowers for a moment.The three of Hongyan were hit hard enough by the flowers, and Shen Xi laughed loudly on top of them.

The three of them had no choice but to smile bitterly, they were fourth-rank officials after all, and they had never seen such a fun-loving one.When the parade team gradually walked away, Shen Yu sat down and drank his saliva: "Mr. Tomorrow Hong will see you at the Qionglin Banquet. I happen to be going too, maybe there will be excitement to watch."

When Qiao Ke heard that Shen Hao was going to the banquet, he knew that tomorrow's banquet would not be peaceful.Although he didn't know what Shen Hao was going to do.
