Chapter 257 Palace Examination
Before the palace examination comes.
Gongsheng students also need to learn relevant etiquette, including visiting teachers to obtain guidance and advice, or participating in some tour activities to obtain the required letters of recommendation. More importantly, they need to review the political atmosphere. Simply put, it is the examiner''s impression or character of the Gongsheng students. Sophisticated.
If his character is not up to standard, it will be difficult for him to become an official in the court.
After finishing the related work, Qin Chi thanked the guests behind closed doors.
Precisely because of his low profile, the rumors about him gradually subsided.
Qin Mingsong came here once.
I came to say goodbye to Qin Chi and Song Jin.
After careful consideration, he decided to take Song Xiu back to Huizhou and come back in three years.
Qin Chi was delighted to hear it.
Being a considerate nephew for a while, he specially found a caravan for the two of them to travel with.
Song Jin also bought some specialties from the capital, and asked Qin Mingsong to take them back to his grandparents in the name of Qin Chi, as a sign of filial piety.
Qin Chi acquiesced to Song Jin''s approach.
"My wife is more considerate." This reputation of filial piety cannot be lost.
Song Jin didn''t buy it for Boss Qin and Mrs. Li.
It was because every time the caravan of Shun''an Trading Company passed through Shuntian Mansion, Song Jin would prepare some gifts for the caravan to take back.
Qin Mingsong asked Qin Mingsong to take the things he prepared this time back. He didn''t have much intention of being filial. The big reason was the world''s customs. If you want to be an official, you need a good reputation, which is also for outsiders to see.
Before Song Xiu left Beijing.
Song Jin had never seen her once.
It is said that people became taciturn and even treated Qin Mingsong lukewarmly.
The eve of the imperial examination.
Song Jin already knew what Mr. Yang Ge wanted Qin Chi to do, and he couldn''t help but feel a little worried, "Ms. sir, do you really want to do this?"
"I can''t resist in my current status."
Qin Chi considered the actual situation.
In addition, the Yuan family''s matter really needs to be settled. In the palace, he will serve as the Yang family''s gun. As everyone knows, he will never be clean. Then, the Yang family can never think of being alone.
Qin Chi has always appeared in front of the public as a weakling.
Song Jin asked again: "Is there any danger?"
"Won''t."
Qin Chi said firmly, "I was forced to resist, so I resisted once in front of the palace. What could be the big mistake?"
Seeing this, Song Jin didn''t ask any more questions.
Quietly helping Qin Chi prepare the necessities for the exam.
Palace design is the highest level in the imperial examination. The examination room was located in the Baohe Hall of the palace and was presided over by the emperor himself.
Song Jin had no chance to go in and take a look.
The next day, she personally escorted Qin Chi into the palace. Standing outside the palace gate, she looked at the heavily guarded palace gate and the majestic palace wall. Like a giant beast that lifts the sky, it has swallowed countless lives.
This is the awe from Song and Jin Dynasties.
"Madam, do you want to go back?" Qin Qi asked in a low voice.
Song Jin said: "Go back."
There were people around looking at Song Jin.
Qin Qi used his body to block the sight of outsiders without leaving a trace, and protected Song Jin as he boarded the carriage.
After entering the car, he also blocked the view from outside.
After returning home, Song Jin never left home.
While Qin Chi was attending the imperial examination, Song Jin changed into men''s clothes and went to Jifang Pharmacy. In addition, he went to the dock to meet Xing Lun and others. It was Jifang''s fleet that arrived at the water transport dock in Zhangjiawan.
The batch of goods imported from Fuzhou before.
After passing through many places, we finally arrived at the capital.
"Master." Xing Lun got off the boat to greet him. Song Jin smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, let''s get on the boat first."
Xing Lun and others stepped aside to get out of the way, and Song Jin took the lead in passing them and stepping into the cargo ship.
When people talk in the cabin, they are not afraid of being heard by outsiders.
Song Jin looked around, "Don''t you see Zhou Wei?"
"His mother took her to get married in Huizhou." After saying this, Xing Lun laughed out loud.
Song Jin was surprised, "Under custody?"
"Yes, he always said that you can''t have a family without a career, so Aunt Ling chased him across the street with a spatula." Xing Lun told Song Jin some things that happened in Huizhou.
Song Jin couldn''t help laughing.
In fact, you are not young now if you think about it.
Zhou Wei should have gotten married a long time ago, but in order to follow her on errands, he couldn''t get away, so it was delayed until now. Jin Ling wants Zhou Wei to go see her no matter what this time.
Song Jin then looked at Xing Lun, whose smile was still pure, "Alun, it''s time for you to get married."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
At this time in his previous life, he had already been married twice. In this life, he has avoided those unreliable marriages, but he has been delaying getting married.
Song Jin suspected that he had offended Yue Lao.
Either give him an unreliable red line; or give him nothing at all?
Xing Lun smiled lightly and said sheepishly: "My parents never urged me to get married. Ah Wei is not like me. I have an eldest brother to carry on the family line, so there is less pressure. Besides, I have been doing business outside for many years, so I am not in trouble. A girl from a good family.”
Song Jin couldn''t accept these words.
Song Jin''s business outside Huizhou was taken over by Xing Lun.
Even busier than Song Jin in a year.
"Don''t think too much, Master. It''s because I have no intention of getting married for the time being. If I meet a girl I like in the future, I won''t miss it without the urging of my elders." Xing Lun said with a calm smile.
Now that he has said so, Song Jin can''t bring it up again.
Xing Lun took out his account book and talked about business matters. Finally, he said: "Shun''an Trading Company has a batch of goods here. Someone from them will come to hand over it later."
"You go ahead, I''ll look at the ledger first."
Song Jin signaled Xing Lun to go ahead and get busy.
After Xing Lun retired, Song Jin got down to business.
She was halfway through watching when she heard noises coming from outside. She stood up and walked out of the cabin, and saw the steward of Shun''an Trading Company in the capital, who was bringing people and carriages to move goods.
The cargo of Shun''an Trading Company alone occupies two cargo ships.
As for how busy it is outside.
Because some merchants were squatting at the dock, waiting for the caravan to ship goods. When they saw the stewards of Shun''an moving goods, they naturally came around to inquire.
After a while.
Xing Lun came over wiping his sweat, "The handover is finally over."
"Drink some tea and take it slow."
Song Jin motioned to Xing Lun to pour himself some tea.
Xing Lun was not polite and poured himself a full tea bowl. He drank it all and poured another bowl. "Are the goods on the owner''s ship going to be shipped out? Several families on the shore are asking."
"Those who promised to come to pick up the goods last year, did they come?" Song Jin asked.
Xing Lundao: "I''ve sent someone to notify you."
Is this because no one has come yet?
Song Jin thought about the recent martial law in the city due to the imperial examination, and thought it was understandable, "Wait for them for two more days. If they don''t come after two days, they will sell it to other people."
"There is a lot of food this time, so they may not be able to eat it."
Xing Lun was thinking about whether to open a shop of his own. He proposed the idea, but Song Jin rejected it. He said a little unwillingly, "Are we really not going to open it? We can make more money by opening our own shop."
"There is no end of money in the world."
Song Jin knows that you can''t be greedy in business. "You also need to master a certain standard so that you can continue this profitable business for a long time. If it gets in the eyes of some powerful people, our good days will come to an end."
"Thank you, boss, for reminding me."
Xing Lun thanked him with lingering fear.
