Time has quietly come to the end of April, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom under the kiss of the summer wind.

The capital is still very welcoming, with merchants gathering and scholars everywhere. Especially this year is the year of the Great Competition, and many students gathered in the capital, trying to swim through the dragon gate in the autumn boudoir.

Soon, these scholars who had just entered the city noticed something strange. Many people mentioned the four words "talking about the past and the present".

At first, they thought it was an ancient book. They searched for it for a while, but still couldn't remember the book. After a little inquiry, they found out that it was actually a newly issued publication of the Hanlin Academy.

Just hearing the three words "Hanlin Academy" is enough to cheer them up. It is the holy place they yearn for in their hearts, and the Hanlin officials there are worthy of their worship.

Just like this, they either borrowed or bought it and got "Talking About the Ancient and the Present" for review. They couldn't put it down immediately, as if they had found a treasure.

It contains not only historical events, allusions, and anecdotes, but also comments on current affairs and miscellaneous poems. But it cannot be said to be miscellaneous poems, because the poems are "Li and Du's poems have been passed down by thousands of mouths, and they are no longer new. There are talented people from generation to generation.

Each has led the way for hundreds of years." How can this be described as "miscellaneous poetry"?

"Okay! Okay! I'm afraid only senior brother can compete with him!"

A young scholar who had just entered the city got a copy of "Talking About the Past and the Present". When he opened the first page, he looked intoxicated, as if he was more beautiful than the lovely wife sitting next to him.

Two carriages slowly stopped in front of the Guangdong Guild Hall, and a young and beautiful girl got out of the carriage.

If Huniu were here, she would definitely recognize that it was Zhao Dongcheng and his wife who she had left behind. After these months of trekking, the newlyweds finally arrived in the capital safely and arrived in front of the guild hall.

After the wedding, Zhao Dongcheng lost some of his childishness and became more mature, but his beautiful face paired with his thin body did not give people a sense of security.

But I have to admit that Zhao Dongcheng is indeed beautiful, so beautiful that it is pleasing to the eye.

Hanlin Academy? It’s a pity that there are no senior brothers!

Zhao Dongcheng read through the entire "Talking About the Past and the Present", but a look of disappointment flashed through his beautiful eyes. This masterpiece had nothing to do with his senior brother. The people who signed it were all unknown to him.

people.

But it's not that he doesn't know him at all. For example, he actually knows the famous talented scholar Xu Wei, who won the top prize in the previous year. These super powerful people are like mythical figures.

Thinking that he would be able to meet his senior brother soon, he also smiled knowingly, but he was worried in his heart, not sure whether Huniu had arrived safely. If something happened to Huniu on the way, he really couldn't explain it to his senior brother.

.

"Let's go!" Niu Ruhua walked up and said to him.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Dongcheng raised his head and looked at his wife in confusion.

"The sign here was smashed by your senior brother..." Niu Ruhua said, looking at Zhao Dongcheng with complicated eyes.

"Smashed? Why?" Zhao Dongcheng frowned slightly and said in confusion.

"When your senior brother moved in here..." Niu Ruhua was also a gossip. She had just figured out everything, so she told how Lin Haoran broke up with the guild and started a new business.

When Zhao Dongcheng heard that such a thing existed, while he felt unfair for the treatment Lin Haoran suffered, he also clapped his hands excitedly for what he had done.

He really wished he could have taken the exam together and then build up momentum for his senior brother.

Niu Ruhua looked at her applauded husband, but she frowned and was not optimistic about things.

Although Lin Haoran won the number one position and created the myth of winning six consecutive imperial exams, he was nothing more than a minor sixth-rank Hanlin editor. On the other hand, Dai Yi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was a third-rank official in the imperial court.

A member of the strict party.

In comparison, Dai Yi was undoubtedly stronger and could completely overpower Lin Haoran. Of course, Lin Haoran entered the Hanlin Academy, which gave him a natural protective umbrella.

But Niu Ruhua is very worried. If her husband-in-law gets too close to Lin Haoran, will he be attacked by Dai Shilang, and will his future career be hindered by Lin Haoran?

While I was thinking about how to persuade my husband, the groom outside said that the place had arrived.

Niu Ruhua grabbed the car curtain and prepared to get out, but was slightly stunned and looked outside doubtfully.

The No. 1 Guild Hall of Guangdong is decorated with lanterns and colors.

Shopkeeper Chen got busy early in the morning, instructing his servants to go about their business, and even invited a theatrical troupe to set up a stage in front of the banquet, making it look like a birthday banquet was being held here.

As I was greeting the guests, I saw two carriages approaching and stopped in front of the club. I saw a fit little lady jumping out of the carriage, and I couldn't help but be slightly startled.

The woman who got off the bus was naturally a pretty girl. She looked at the bustling Guangdong No. 1 Guild Hall with confusion. It was completely different from the sparse Guangdong Guild Hall.

Niu Ruhua looked at Shopkeeper Chen who came up to her and said: "My husband is Zhao Dongcheng, a member of the Dingsi'en imperial examination in Guangdong. His courtesy name is Luhang. Is there any room for us in the guild hall?"

"Ranked highest...are you Niu Ruhua, the third lady of the Niu family?" Shopkeeper Chen suddenly stopped talking and asked Niu Ruhua for verification.

"Exactly!" Niu Ruhua nodded, but she didn't expect that her name had spread to the guild hall in the capital.

"My surname is Chen. He is the shopkeeper of the guild hall. I have met Mr. Zhao!" Shopkeeper Chen saluted Zhao Dongcheng who got off the car, and then made an invitation gesture and said: "If it is someone else, I'm afraid we can't arrange it, but

Your couple's room is ready, please follow me inside!"

When Niu Ruhua heard this, she was a little confused. The shopkeeper was just enthusiastic and seemed to be treating them preferentially, so he asked doubtfully: "What's going on?"

Butler Chen had a smile on his face and was about to help them answer their questions when he saw an old man wearing silk and satin striding towards them. He bowed his hands humbly towards Zhao Dongcheng and his wife and hurriedly greeted him.

Niu Ruhua looked in that direction and was suddenly surprised again.

Because this visitor is none other than Li Yunhu, the richest businessman in Guangdong, a leader of the Guangdong business gang, a man of ability and strength who even dares to openly slap the table with his father.

Ordinarily, the relationship between Lin Haoran and Dai Yi is incompatible. A wealthy businessman like Li Yunhu is the best at sizing up the situation, so he should choose Dai Yi instead of Lin Haoran. Even if he wants to choose Lin Haoran, he must pass the nine-year exam before standing up. He must not be

Now.

But things were so unexpected, Li Yunhu actually appeared here with great fanfare, but she felt that she had overthought it, or maybe he only appeared here because of other people or things.
