Chapter 297 Returning to Beijing to prepare for the exam
What happened in the capital during the two months I left?
The information Tianxiang Pavilion received was only at the level of ordinary people on the streets, but what Xie Zhiyuan and Cheng Cheng knew was far more than that.
"It is said that at the beginning of this month, someone who was not afraid of death wanted to test whether His Majesty was alive and was imprisoned. His life and death are still unknown."
"Some people are becoming more and more courageous. In the past, they would just make small fuss, but now they want to reach into the palace."
Xie Zhiyuan fiddled with the folding fan and said leisurely, as if the turmoil in the capital could not affect him.
Chen Ping murmured in his heart when he heard this, isn't Qi Hongming the young minister of Dali Temple? Although he is considered a high-ranking official, he is not enough to interfere with the palace, right?
"Fortunately, Your Majesty's health has improved, and these little guys don't dare to make trouble anymore." Cheng Cheng echoed.
"Hehe! Chen Ping, the imperial examination must be held in the next few days. You have won the Huiyuan, but in the past two months since you have been running to Lingzhou, there is no chance that someone will catch up with you. I am just trying to make up for it.
Homework."
Xie Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows at Chen Ping with a joking look on his face.
Make up homework?
Chen Ping smiled casually. His winning the title was not a trick, it was won purely by strength. Not to mention two months, even if he gave others half a year, it would not be easy to catch up with him.
What's more, he didn't study for the imperial examination for fame and fortune like others, but to be able to trace the truth ten years ago.
However, the more contacts he got, the more Chen Ping discovered that the people and things involved behind this were not trivial. If he did not improve his strength, let alone talk about bringing down the murderer, even his own safety would not be guaranteed. p>
What he has to do is to sit on the chessboard and play a game of chess with the opponent openly and openly. It should be noted that unknown people are not qualified to play.
"There is no need to make up for my homework, but I do need to make up for my health. I have been sleeping in the open air all the way. My small body did not let the thieves kill me, and I almost starved to death on the road."
Chen Ping joked, and Cheng Cheng put down his tea cup without saying a word, pointed to the east and said: "There is a new Xiazhou cook in Baiyu Building in the east of the city. Roasting sheep is his unique skill, and that yokan is the most delicious thing in the world!"
Seeing Cheng Cheng's enthusiasm, Chen Ping couldn't refuse, so he got up and went to the banquet with the two of them.
"As soon as you get back to the capital, you're going to play tricks on our little friends. The Su family girl doesn't want it anymore? She'll definitely find her at home tomorrow and question us. You're enjoying it, or you're hurting my brothers."
Xie Zhiyuan raised his glass to thank Chen Ping, and then Cheng Cheng winked and looked like a playboy.
Chen Ping has long been used to these two people's irregularities, but when Xie Zhiyuan mentioned Su Yiyi, he couldn't help but get excited.
They were both young people in their teens and twenties, full of anger and energy, and Su Yiyi was a young lady who had not yet left the court. Moreover, they were lovers and concubines, and they cared about each other.
If it weren't for the ancient customs and etiquette, Chen Ping Shao had no choice but to confide his heart to Su Yiyi, not to mention staying together all day long, then he would still have to live a life where he would pick up flowers and come to my concubine to compose poems, and the two of them would always be in love.<
/p>
"It's cold at high places, so I need a beautiful woman to warm my heart."
At the banquet, Chen Ping sighed inexplicably.
In the Su Mansion, Su Yiyi, who had nothing to do and was about to grow white, had no choice but to become a female celebrity. Although she was a lady, she had been loved by her parents since she was born.
Boil, reject anything that restrains your mind.
That is to say, as she got older in the past two years, her family had to consider her marriage before they thought of letting her learn to be a female celebrity, so as to avoid being criticized by her husband's family after she got married.
It's just that Su Yiyi was always thinking about her husband, and she wasn't as obedient as she was when she was a child, so she felt dizzy and irritable within half an hour of being a female celebrity.
"Hey, Gardenia, you're here, come and help me, this female celebrity is really not made by humans."
Just as she was biting her lip and persisting, she suddenly saw the maid Zhier coming up. Su Yiyi quickly asked her to share her worries.
Gardenia did not do as she was told, but crept up to her side, folded her hands and whispered a few words to Su Yiyi.
"Really? Finally back?!"
"Miss, don't shout. If the madam finds out, my servant will be in trouble..."
Su Yiyi held back her joy and flicked Gardenia's forehead, and said angrily: "You little naughty boy, you still know how to write the word miserable? Don't worry, I will protect you!"
Even after knowing that Chen Ping had returned to Beijing, Su Yiyi was still worried. After all, the situation in Beijing was tense and it was inconvenient for her to go out. She had to find Chen Ping himself to meet her. After all, she had reached the age of marriage and needed to pay attention to her reputation.
Whatever you do, you must take into account the family atmosphere.
This is where the big families are constrained.
"Don't worry, Miss. I'll let you know when I go to Tianxiang Pavilion and keep it safe so that the heartless man knows about it. It will take about three to five days."
If you want to say that this little maid Zhi'er is really smart, Su Yiyi immediately smiled, and then she shouted dissatisfied: "What kind of betrayal? How can it be as serious as you said?"
Gardenia tilted her head and chuckled after listening, her eyes moved and she chuckled: "Really? But I think the lady has been worried all night long... Hey, don't fight, the maid knows she is wrong..." .......
Returning to the capital from Lingzhou, Chen Ping didn't feel much at first. As time went by, after the news spread that he appeared in Lingzhou to help the government crack down on the smuggling case and capture the thieves, things became more and more bizarre and strange.
.
"Have you heard? Our Chunwei Chen Huiyuan brought a literary star down to earth, he is so awesome!"
"Hey! What a powerful method?"
"Listen to me, listen to me. After leaving the capital, Chen Huiyuan rushed to Lingzhou at a speed of eight hundred miles. You don't know that in addition to his extraordinary literary talent, Chen Huiyuan also has good martial arts. When he arrived in Lingzhou...
."
In the Tianxiang Pavilion, Chen Ping was sitting on pins and needles sitting on the stool, and now you can hear voices discussing him no matter where you go.
The key point is just for you to discuss. Let's respect the facts, okay? It wasn't so outrageous at first, but it became more and more outrageous later on, to the point where Chen Ping's brain shut down when he heard it.
This is not me at all!
Chen Ping wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was surprised. He got up and walked to the counter, said a few words and then walked upstairs.
"Tian Rui, how are things?"
"I was just looking for you, but you don't know that the sandalwood and marble jade are in high demand in the capital, not to mention that the items you brought here are all high-quality products."
Chen Ping nodded. Of course he knew these things were valuable, otherwise he wouldn't have brought them over.
What matters is the price!
"If this quality can be supplied for a long time, chicken egg-sized ones can be sold for hundreds of taels."
Chen Tianrui patted his chest and assured that although he had not been in the capital for a long time, he already knew the business of the capital well and gave a price of several hundred taels.
"Okay, please pay attention, choose two people to make preparations, and do not neglect the business of Lingzhou and other countries in the southwest in a few days."
There is no problem with the price, and Chen Ping said nothing nonsense and prepared to leave after a few words.
"Sir, wait a moment, Miss Zhi'er from the Su family came yesterday and said..."
