Chapter 561

The next day, many people came to Xie's house.

In addition to the people from the Qi Mansion, the General's Mansion, the Duke of Wu State's Mansion, and the Princess Dachang's Mansion, they are the students from the Ningzhou Mansion who went to Beijing to take the exam.

This time, there were nearly 30 students from Ningzhou Prefecture who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and seven of them passed the exam. Except for Xie Yunjin and Liu Ziyan who won the first and second places in the exam, two other students won the Jinshi exam, and the other three passed the exam. .

Regardless of those who passed the exam or those who didn't, they all came over to congratulate Xie Yunjin.

The neighbors around Xie's family also knew about Xie Yunjin's champion, and each family also sent congratulatory gifts.

In the morning, Lu Jiao was busy entertaining people who came to give gifts from various families, and even arranged for the kitchen staff to prepare the lunch at noon.

People from the Qi family, Wang family, Liu family, Nie family and the Princess's Mansion did not stay after presenting gifts, but the students who came to congratulate them did not leave, so Lu Jiao had to prepare a banquet for these students.

In the kitchen, Aunt Hua received the order and immediately began to prepare the lunch meal, and Grandma Liu Anqiu all ran to the kitchen to help.

Lu Jiao took Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu to the front yard to greet the guests.

Although these guests were all men, as the housewife, it was difficult for Lu Jiao not to show up when guests came, so she had to go to the front yard to say hello to the guests.

In the main hall of the front yard, everyone was busy congratulating Xie Yunjin, regardless of whether they passed the exam or not.

The people who passed the exam were busy contacting each other. Xie Yunjin was the number one scholar. According to the law of the Zhou Dynasty, the top three of the first class can stay in the Imperial Academy as editors, and all the second class Jinshi are released as officials. Years and three years later, he will pass the Imperial Academy examination, and if he passes the examination, he will be released as an official.

In short, except for the top three in the first class who can stay in Beijing, the rest of the people must leave Beijing.

Most of the students from Ningzhou Prefecture who went to Beijing to rush for the exam did not have any background, so Xie Yunjin won the first prize in the exam, and these people wanted to establish a good relationship with him.

"Brother Yun Jin deserves his name, from the head of the case to Xie Yuan to Hui Yuan, and then to the number one scholar in the palace examination."

"Brother Yun Jin, don't forget about my younger brother and others in the future. After Brother Yun Jin is promoted, you must support my younger brother a lot."

"Yes, Brother Yun Jin is the pride of our Ningzhou Prefecture. We are both students of Ningzhou Prefecture, and we should support each other in the future."

Xie Yunjin nodded with a smile, disapproving in his heart, but when people came to congratulate him, he naturally had to be polite, lest others say that he was the number one in the exam and was proud of his talent.

"What you said is very reasonable. In the future, everyone should support each other."

Xie Yunjin's words fell into Zheng Zhixing's ears, and Zheng Zhixing's face was very ugly. He always felt that Xie Yunjin and Liu Ziyan should have obtained the test questions in advance, otherwise how could one of them become the top scorer and the other a candidate.

If someone else is Tanhua, he is more convinced, but Liu Ziyan is Tanhua.

No matter how good Liu Ziyan's brain is, he is only a sixteen-year-old boy. With his qualifications, can he write powerful answers? Obviously, he had obtained the examination questions for cutting feudal clans in advance, and maybe the answers he wrote for cutting feudal clans were all written for him by his chief assistant father.

If Liu Ziyan got the test questions, would he thank Yunjin without knowing it?

But Xie Yunjin got the test questions and didn't disclose any information to him. Fortunately, he always regarded him as a classmate friend, but in the end, they didn't treat him as a friend.

If he had revealed the news to him in advance, he would never have passed the Jinshi examination anyway.

Tong Jinshi had to go to the college to teach for three years, and then passed the Imperial Academy examination, and then he could seek a foreign job after passing the exam. In this way, he wasted a few years in vain.

The more Zheng Zhixing thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he sat silently in the corner, listening to the people around him laughing and praising Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin is like the bright moon where the stars hold the moon, with a proud face.

Seeing him like this, Zheng Zhixing felt more and more jealous in his heart, he clenched his hands tightly without saying a word.

Outside the door, Lu Jiao walked in with Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu carrying snacks.

In the main hall, the people who were talking lively stopped, and they all turned to look at the three women who walked in in front of the door.

Looking at it, everyone couldn't take their eyes away. These three women are really good-looking.

The woman in front of her has white skin like snow, eyebrows like black ink, a pair of pupils like autumn water, like the clear water of a spring, when looking at people, she smiles three parts before she speaks, that smile is as dazzling as a charming sun, which is very eye-catching. Hope to be attracted.

Behind her are two women, one tall and one short. The tall one is beautiful and gentle, elegant when moving, and gentle when still. The short woman is very young, indescribably cute and cute, smiling like a delicate flower First blossom.

The three women are like three landscapes. After walking in, people forget to talk.

Until Xie Yunjin said: "Jiaojiao, why are you here?"

Xie Yunjin saw that the people around him were staring at Lu Jiao with displeasure in their eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that they both came from Ningzhou Prefecture, he wouldn't want to keep them here.

As soon as Xie Yunjin made a sound, everyone in the hall came to their senses, and many turned their heads in embarrassment and stopped staring at Lu Jiao and the others.

One of them asked, "Is this my sister-in-law? I heard that my sister-in-law is a hero among girls. Not only is she skilled in medicine, she also opened three major workshops in Qinghe County and became the vice president of the Qinghe County Chamber of Commerce."

As soon as this person finished speaking, other people who didn't know Lu Jiao's details asked in surprise, "Is it true?"

The students who also came from Qinghe County immediately proudly said: "Of course it is true, my sister-in-law is not only good at herself, she also wants to help the people. Now every village in my Qinghe County has planted medicinal materials and soybeans, and these things will be sold later. For the three major workshops."

"Yes, Yun Jin and sister-in-law have done a lot of good things, so if Yun Jin is promoted in the future, it is impossible not to help us."

When the man finished speaking, the rest of the people praised him one after another.

Xie Yunjin had already pulled Lu Jiao into the middle of the main hall, and gave Lu Jiao a disapproving look as she walked.

Lu Jiao turned her lips away at him speechlessly, she is a guest, and when guests come to the door, as the mistress of the house, it is better for her not to show up all the time, just come out to say hello.

Lu Jiao looked at the students in the main hall with a smile while thinking, "Thank you for coming to my family today to congratulate me. At noon, everyone stay and have a meal before going back."

The students immediately said loudly, "Thank you sister-in-law."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for staying. Today we will have the cheek to stay for dinner."

Lu Jiao smiled and nodded, signaling Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu to distribute the snacks they brought to each student.

"This is a dessert made by my chef, please try it."

These students went to Beijing to rush for the exam and lived in the inn. It is not convenient to eat and live, and their usual diet is not refined. At this time, when they smelled the snacks sent by Lu Jiao, they all swallowed their saliva subconsciously, and then said to Lu Jiao again Thank you.

Xie Yunjin didn't want Lu Jiao to talk to these students too much, so he looked at Lu Jiao with a smile and said, "Lady, the students stay for dinner today, you go and prepare well."

Lu Jiao saw his small thoughts at a glance, and didn't pierce him, she responded with a smile: "Okay, then I will take Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu to arrange later."

"Um."

Lu Jiao greeted the students in the main hall again, and took Feng Zhi and Ruan Zhu out.

When the three passed by Zheng Zhixing, Lu Jiao thought that Zhu Baozhu hadn't come over today, so she couldn't help but turned to Zheng Zhixing and asked.

"Why didn't Baozhu come over today?"
