When Bao Zheng was writing papers carefully in the examination room, trying not to be too brilliant, Su Mengzhen was sitting leisurely and drinking tea with Pang Ji.

Su Mengzhen came to the Grand Master's Mansion openly and without any concealment, and Pang Ji also opened the door openly to welcome people in.

Although this year Jinfengdriyu Building admitted a candidate, it is said that it has some relationship with the landlord of Jinfengdriyu Building. This matter is not a secret in the eyes of those leaders in the capital. Su Meng's visit at this time will inevitably lead to suspicion. , but to be honest, everyone still believes in the consistent behavior of Jinfeng Drizzlelou, and even if Su Mengzhen really wants to cooperate with Pang Ji for selfishness and fraud, they can only hold their noses and admit it, and they may even take the initiative to take action Help with tidying up.

Compared with what the imperial court was cooperating with Jinfengxiyu Building, a small Jinshi background, even a champion, seemed insignificant.

Jinfengxiyulou purchased a large amount of fertile land for farming in the southeast area. The geographical environment in the southeast is complicated, and there are many ethnic groups living together. Therefore, even knowing that there are many fertile fields in the southeast, the imperial court has almost no way to replace the fertile land with actual grain, and those fields will be cheaper later. Su Mengzhen, besides being self-sufficient, the grain grown will be transported to northern Xinjiang in excess, so that It was sold to the imperial court as military rations at a price slightly lower than the market price.

So far in the Tanyuan alliance, the Liao Kingdom seems to have done nothing, but in fact it has a lot of calculations behind the scenes. It is better to strike first than to wait for someone to hit the door at an unknown time.

Before the war is moved, food and grass should go first.

As for why Pang Ji, who is famous for being greedy and deceitful, is responsible for this...

Grand Master Pang’s eldest son, Pang Tong, is a famous general in northern Xinjiang. He is also one of the most popular candidates for the head coach this time. No matter how greedy Pang Ji is, he will never do anything with the food and grass sent to Pang Tong. He has to pay for it himself To make up for one or two, I was afraid that the logistics could not keep up, so I asked him to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man.

Su Mengzhen had no intention of taking the opportunity to raise the price to make a profit, and Pang Ji only wanted to ensure the quality and quantity of the food and grass. The two finished the business while drinking tea, looking at the scenery and amicable. Bao Zheng.

To be honest, Bao Zheng is quite eye-catching in this year's students. First of all, he is young, and he is an absolute young talent at the age of eighteen or nineteen. Known as a child prodigy, it is said that Bowen has a strong memory and never forgets his poems and books. Secondly, his tall, strong, dark-skinned appearance is really outstanding among the fair and slender scholars. Those who don’t know it think it’s a martial arts test One of them went to the wrong examination room, which caused people to discuss it for a long time.

"I think this time I will definitely be named on the gold list, and I will win the toad palace." Pang Ji said with a smile, with a hint of temptation. As the chief examiner of this year, although he can't guarantee the top three, after all, it was hand-picked by the emperor, but let Bao It is more than enough to save a second-class man. Su Mengzhen gave him a lot of advantages in military rations, so he naturally didn't mind selling it a little bit.

"My younger brother is not good at literature and martial arts, so he can't be praised by the grand master." Su Mengzhen said, sighing helplessly, "He is most impatient with studying and learning, and he is stubborn and straightforward. Telling him to study is just to find something for him to do, it doesn’t matter how good the exam is, if he can pass the exam and then ask for a release, with me taking care of food and clothing, it will be no problem.”

After hearing this, Pang Ji nodded, feeling more or less confident, and Su Mengzhen picked up the teacup to hide the faint smile from the corner of her mouth.

With the temperament of his junior brother, nine times out of ten he will hide his clumsiness this time.

On the day when the list was announced, Bao Zheng was indeed only in the top [-], so it was useless to enter the Hanlin Academy. He was ordered to be the magistrate of Dingyuan County in Fengyang Prefecture.

This place was also chosen by Pang Ji. Dingyuan County is not a prosperous place, but it is not a remote village. There are no bandits and bandits, and it is not very far from the capital. As the younger brother of the owner of Jinfengdriyulou, with Jinfengdriyulou behind him, just like Su Mengzhen said, it is no problem to be safe and secure.

For Su Mengzhen, he will go to the southeast with Zhong Yanqiu to deal with military rations, and then travel to Dali. At least four or five years will be spent outside. Bao Zheng, a fledgling young man, should be placed first. A safer place to grind slowly for a few years, lest he can't take care of him for a while and ask this junior who has been brought up with great difficulty to be folded in.

Finding an apprentice is not an easy task with the Xiaoyao Sect's standards for accepting apprentices.

Bao Zheng happily packed up his things and prepared to go to his post. Zhan Zhao didn't plan to stay in the capital for a long time. This kind of place where one plaque can hit three officials is too restrictive. He is used to being free and easy. Zheng went to Dingyuan County, and then walked around to see. He has not been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and there are still too many scenery to see.

Zhan Zhao wanted to leave, but Bai Jintang didn't force him to stay, he just ordered someone to prepare a suitcase and a BMW horse. He admired this junior with extraordinary skills at a young age, Zhan Zhao also accepted his wishes very much, and said: "In the future Brother Bai, just give orders, Zhan Zhaowan will not hesitate to die."

"Death is unnecessary." Bai Jintang looked at the handsome young man in front of him and suddenly thought of something, "I do have another matter to entrust to you now."

"Brother Bai, please speak."

"I have a younger brother, Xiaozi Yutang. I was persecuted by the enemy in the past, so I entrusted him to Lujiazhuang on the empty island. Although I have written many letters after I escaped from poverty, it has been thousands of miles from south to north. It has been many years. No, this time I planned to go south to see him on the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time due to the busy schedule." When Bai Jintang mentioned his brother Bai Yutang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, his expression softened, "May I trouble Mr. Zhan?" Xia Nan went down to tell him, my incompetent brother is about to miss the appointment again."

Zhan Zhao agreed to the word passing without even thinking about it, and said, "My empty teeth may seem like nonsense, I wonder if there is a token to prove my identity?"

Bai Jintang took off the jade pendant around his waist and handed it over, "I will never leave this piece of jade, you just need to show Yutang a look and he will know."

Zhan Zhao took the jade, and asked Bai Yutang about his age and appearance. Hearing that he was a little younger than himself, and that all his kung fu was taught by Bai Jintang, he couldn't help thinking about making friends, and compared Bai Jintang's appearance to secretly guessing about Bai Yutang. look and bearing.

Bai Jintang was born handsome, dignified, elegant, kind-hearted, and even more handsome. It can be said that even out of a thousand or 1 people, he can notice him at the first sight. If he wants to come to Bai Yutang as his younger brother, he must be the same A handsome, upright, elegant and elegant gentleman.

On the remote island of Sunken Sky, Bai Yutang's Fifth Master Bai suddenly felt cold all over for no reason, his hands trembled, and the fish that had just been hooked was frightened away.

After seeing off Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao, Su Mengzhen still needs to deal with the continuous stream of invitations sent to Jinfengxiyu Building, and the rest can be left to Bai Jintang to deal with, but since he met Pang Ji, he must meet Pang Ji in person. See the Eight Sage Kings.

"What's the matter?" Su Mengzhen asked Zhong Yanqiu suddenly stopped writing and laughed when he saw Zhong Yanqiu writing.

"A ghost told me an interesting thing just now." Zhong Yanqiu put down his pen, "Tomorrow you will not only meet the Eight Sage Kings."

"And the emperor?" Su Mengzhen guessed it after a little guessing, "Indeed, it's about time."

As long as the emperor's heart is not big enough to a certain level of power in the rivers and lakes with an unknown position like Jinfengxiyulou, he will be wary of temptation.

If it weren't for the fear that these people from the rivers and lakes would fight back unscrupulously when they were dying, these forces in the Golden Wind and Rain Tower would have been nationalized long ago.

"I heard that nothing has come out of the harem so far." Su Mengzhen said suddenly.

Zhong Yanqiu realized something, picked up the pen expressionlessly, and continued to write.

If you don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures.

The next day, Su Mengzhen was in a good mood and took a child to the banquet of the Eight Sage Kings.

A five-year-old child is carved with jade, even if he has a small face, he is so cute that it makes people feel weak. It is better for Baxian Wang to have children. Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen, who has been married for many years and has no children, looks at him. The child's big eyes like black grapes made his heart tremble.

"This is my brother, whose nickname is Qiuqiu." Su Mengzhen said with a smile, he didn't smile often, but today he smiled very nicely.

Even though Zhong Yanqiu's little hand was holding his finger so hard that it was about to break, it couldn't stop the smile on his face.

Zhong Yanqiu lowered his head "shyly" and saluted "obediently", hid behind Su Mengzhen "scared", and kicked the bad-hearted man's calf with all his strength - no matter how tall he was, he couldn't reach it.

At the banquet, the three adults were talking, and the "child" Zhong Yanqiu buried his head in his meal. He took a mouthful of rice, vegetables, and soup. Even if he didn't speak, Emperor Renzong would look at him from time to time. Even the originally prepared blessings and powers were weakened. Several intensities, the topic can be inexplicably skewed to the child while chatting.

Su Mengzhen succeeded in only conceding a little more than half of the expected benefits, and temporarily gained the trust of the royal family.

As for how to turn the temporary into a long-term, it depends on his subsequent management methods.

After talking about the business, the Baxian King invited Su Mengzhen to review the famous paintings he bought a few days ago. Su Mengzhen gave Zhong Yanqiu a self-seeking look, and ruthlessly left him to the little girl who was already eager to rub his hands and prepare to fight. Emperor Renzong playing with children.

Forget it, just treat it as coaxing children.

Zhong Yanqiu sighed, and tried his best to talk and play with Emperor Renzong, who was only in his twenties.

Emperor Renzong really wanted a child, perhaps because of his repressed and thoughtful childhood.

According to official records, Emperor Renzong was the youngest son of the Baxian King. Because the only son of Emperor Zhenzong died young, and he was very similar to Emperor Zhenzong, he was adopted as a prince. He knew that the two of them were not father and son at all, but uncles and nephews.

Probably some royal secret.

It is said that people are raised as if they are parents and children. After all, people have distant relatives. It would be fine if the Eighth Sage King had no other children, but the Eighth Sage King has several children, and children are the most sensitive. Obviously, there will inevitably be pimples in my heart.

Moreover, Emperor Renzong was born with a bit of literati's kindness and thoughtfulness.

Zhong Yanqiu stuffed a piece of cake for Emperor Renzong, seeing the fate of having no children in this life, he suddenly felt that the emperor was a bit pitiful.
