Ordinary people don't know about the Jiangnan Provincial Examination, but officials in the DPRK and Central Government know something about it.
Especially officials from the Ministry of Rites.
After all, they are all responsible for related matters.
But now, the great talent is famous and has become a prince, so naturally there are people who want to fawn over him.
It's no surprise that the words were taunting at this moment.
Zhao Changming's face was obviously not good-looking.
Zuo Xingfeng quickly tried to smooth things over, "It's all in the past, so don't mention it. Sirs, please prepare yourselves!"
Seeing what he said, everyone didn't bother and retreated one after another.
Zuo Xingfeng glanced at Zhao Changming. He was the examiner during the Jiangnan Provincial Examination, so what Zhao Changming did naturally made him very unhappy.
It's just that the matter is already here, and there's no point in talking about it anymore.
However, he still reminded him, "Master Zhao, His Majesty Enke attaches great importance to this time. He must not be careless in the slightest. We must prevent all kinds of bad situations from happening."
Zhao Changming looked gloomy, snorted and prepared to leave.
At this time, a soldier came in and said, "My lords, your highness has gone to the post house and asked your lords to go and have a look too."
"Your Highness is finally free?"
All the officials couldn't help but look happy.
Zuo Xingfeng said: "Okay! Let's go immediately."
Before the imperial examination, it is customary for the examiner officials to meet with the students, which can be regarded as a form of encouragement! Now that His Highness has gone, naturally no one dares to neglect them.
Guiling Posthouse is not far from Gongyuan.
At this time, on the street.
Lin Bai led a beautiful lady out to blow up the streets.
Um! With only Wu Qiaojun, Yan Gang and a group of other guards, the little fairy went to take care of her family's business. The family had a lot of business in the southwest, so she naturally wanted to take a look after being away for such a long time.
Let Wu Qiaojun help?
How can that be done? Sister Wu is a general. How can she do such a thing? Just follow her husband and show off.
The little goblin said that this was nothing.
Zhuiyue went to help. With the Fourth Madam here, there was no need for her to worry about her uncle's safety.
The group of people came to the street in front of the post house. At this time, the large sheds on both sides of the road caught Lin Bai's attention.
What do you mean?
Are all the vegetable greenhouses grown here?
Lin Bai looked confused.
At this time, a student discovered the two of them and said, "It's Your Highness, Your Highness is here!"
"General Wu is also here!"
"..."
Countless students poured onto the streets, and the whole street was packed in an instant, with excitement on their faces.
There is no way, Qingfeng Shixian, that is the idol of all the scholars in Li Dynasty.
Everyone has been looking forward to it. This event is finally here. How can we not be excited?
Approaching Enko, there were many officers and soldiers around to maintain order. The scene was not too chaotic, just noisy and full of noises.
The talented man was a little distracted and waved to everyone as a greeting.
The corners of Wu Qiaojun's mouth also raised slightly.
At this time, Chen Ping also arrived. This time he was responsible for Enke's security. "I have met His Highness!"
Lin Bai nodded, then looked at the greenhouses and asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Ping's expression froze and he hesitated.
Lin Bai didn't know what this guy was up to, and his expression darkened slightly.
Upon seeing this, a student quickly said: "Your Highness, I don't blame Mr. Lu and Mr. Chen, everyone can understand."
"Yes! Don't worry, Your Highness, we will be fine."
"..."
Everyone was talking.
Lin Bai finally understood. Guiling is located in the remote southwest. The largest examination held here is the provincial examination, and students from all over Guinan come here.
Moreover, there are many Yi people in Guinan and their literary style is not prosperous. There are not many students participating in the imperial examination, so the scale is not large.
But this time it was different. We were facing students from all over Dali.
As for Guiling Yiguan, it can’t be accommodated at all.
Lu Zhendong had no choice but to temporarily use nearby houses as inns, but it was still not enough. Those with conditions could stay in restaurants and inns, but those students from poor families were more pitiful. They had to sleep on the streets or find a cowshed. Build huts and the like.
It is early spring, and although the weather in the southwest is suitable, the temperature is still very low.
Especially at night.
Chen Ping said helplessly: "The yamen couldn't do anything for a while. Seeing that the huts built by students from all over the country were too crude, Mr. Lu ordered the temporary construction of these vegetable greenhouses. Although they are still crude, they can still keep warm."
Lin Bai really didn't expect this.
He only wanted to attract people, but he forgot that Guiling was not big enough to accommodate so many students.
Lu Zhendong is quite smart. Although these vegetable greenhouses are simple, they are not a big problem.
A scholar! The head is hung from the beam, the buttocks are spiked, and you have to endure hardships to become a master, isn't that what they say, so...
"Your Highness, you really don't have to worry about us. It's very warm inside."
"Your Highness's ability to ask His Majesty to grant you a favor is already the greatest gift to the scholars in the world. This little trouble is nothing."
"That's right! Your Highness, please don't blame Mr. Lu and Mr. Chen."
"..."
All the students, you say something to me.
Lin Bai was confused.
He said in his heart: Did brother ever say blame?
You are all scholars, why do you have to suffer a little?
However, looking at the passionate and admiring gazes of all the students, he felt that if he didn't say something, his character would not be able to hold on.
He immediately made up his mind and said: "This prince has not thought about it. Master Chen, please immediately contact the major restaurants and inns in the city to ensure that students from all over the country are properly accommodated."
Chen Ping seemed a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the Yamen can't afford it."
Inns and restaurants all cost money, and the imperial examination is not just a day or two. It will take ten or twenty days from now until the results are released. With so many people, this is a huge expense.
The heart of the great talent bleeds.
Fortunately, Kuang Zhiwei gave him an ill-gotten fortune.
really! Ill-gotten gains cannot be kept, "Just go ahead and do it, the Yamen can't afford the Lin family."
"Your Highness, it's really not necessary. The hardship we endure is nothing."
"That's right! Your Highness doesn't have to spend any money on us, we can handle it."
"..."
All the students advised him one after another.
Chen Ping added: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this is not enough."
Enke is about to come. During this period, too many businessmen and tourists have poured into the southwest. All major restaurants and inns are full. General supplies can be transported from other places, but restaurants and inns cannot be built immediately.
Lin Bai couldn't help frowning and glanced at Wu Qiaojun subconsciously.
Then his eyes lit up and he said: "Try your best to arrange as much as you can, and also build a big tent for me."
Chen Ping was shocked, "Your Highness, how can this be done?"
"Nothing is wrong!"
Lin Bai looked at Wu Qiaojun with gentle eyes, "My wife is out marching and fighting, and she and the soldiers have never distinguished each other. As the examiner, these students are my prince's soldiers. They live in greenhouses, and I should accompany them." "
"Go! It's settled!"
All the students around were so moved.
Some people had tears in their eyes.
Wu Qiaojun couldn't help but look at her husband.
Lin Bai also looked at her with affection, but he was thinking in his heart: I don't know what it's like to have a field battle with my wife, I'm so looking forward to it!
