Since Princess Li Chunxu of Yicheng was placed under house arrest in Xilin Temple to practice Taoism, Li Chunjian had no chance of being taken advantage of and could only work hard to help He Qingjia sell round fans.
"Qingjia, your fan is so beautiful, why doesn't anyone patronize it?" Li Chunjian sighed.
"Madam, many Jinling students are worshiping Lord Calyx!" Luyun shouted when she came back from outside.
"Calyx Green is the nickname of Jasmine. What is Calyx Green Lord?" Li Chunjian asked.
"His Royal Highness King Kang, the Calyx Green Lord among Jinling people refers to Princess Antai. Back then, Princess Antai reopened the imperial examination in Jinling, added agricultural and mulberry subjects, and selected the number one, number two, and third flower. The flower she was rewarded was jasmine. You I think you are a toy, or Princess Antai is a toy." Lu Yun was very excited when he mentioned Princess Antai.
"It is better to worship Qingjia than to worship Mr. Calyx. Qingjia is very powerful. There is nothing she can't learn, only things she doesn't want to learn." Li Chunjian muttered.
At this time, Yuan Shan suddenly appeared.
"Ms. He, can I borrow your silk jasmine to pay my respects?" Yuan Shan asked.
"Yuan Langjun, do the people of Jinling really respect Princess Antai so much? How did I hear that when Princess Antai established the Nanyan regime in Jinling, the people of Jinling were looking forward to Princess Antai's surrender every day?" Lu Jun said angrily.
"Some people like it, and some people hate it. However, when a person dies, her goodness will be magnified. The number one, number two, and top pick who were selected by Princess Antai were also accepted by His Majesty, and they also made political achievements and won virtuous names. " Yuan Shan said with a smile.
"How do you usually worship Lord Calyx?" He Qingjia's tone was cold.
"After dusk, when the moonlight first appears and the calyx green is blooming, we bow three times and kowtow nine times to the calyx green." Yuan Shan said softly.
"Isn't that the imperial gift of three bows and nine kowtows?" Lu Yun murmured.
"When did Jinling become popular?" He Qingjia's tone became more and more condensed.
"It was probably two or three years ago after Princess Antai died in the battle." Yuan Shan replied.
"Yuan Langjun, the flowering period of silk jasmine is later than autumn, so you won't be able to catch up. How about I make you a light blue tapestry fan with jasmine butterfly pattern and ebony handle, and you can just bow." He Qing Jia whispered.
"No, this is disrespectful to Lord Calyx!" Yuan Shan shook his head vigorously.
"Yuan Langjun, if my wife says it's okay, it will definitely be okay." Lu Yun sneered.
In the end, Yuan Shan compromised because he couldn't afford Jasmine.
After the Qiuwei exam is over, you still have to wait for one month for the results to be released.
"Ms. Lujun, can you help me talk to Mrs. He? I want a round fan with a plain silk yarn and a green bamboo handle, which can be used to write down strategies. Later, we Jinling students will hold a party at Yuenv Lake to comment on our respective policies. Policy discussion." Yuan Shan bowed.
Luyun thought for a moment and agreed.
Then, He Qingjia presented Yuan Shan with a plain silk gauze round fan with a green bamboo handle.
One day, Yuan Shan came back drunk, and Lu Jun was already yawning again and again.
"Your Highness, they all say that Xiaosheng's strategy is the best in Jinling." Yuan Shan's face was red.
"Yuan Shan, when you are named on the gold medal list in the future, don't forget the kindness you borrowed, and always make up for it with some money." Li Chunjian smiled brighter than Yuan Shan.
Since being deprived of the royal palace and taxes, Li Chunjian has deeply felt the importance of money.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shan fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
"Madam, I remember that Yuan Shan is the younger brother of Yuan Wen, the second-ranking scholar of the year. However, as far as I can remember, Yuan Shan has never seen you." Lu Yun returned to the bedroom with He Qingjia and lowered his voice.
"Ajun, I know." He Qingjia looked indifferent.
The first time Yuan Shan visited Yuan Gexing, He Qingjia recognized him. At that time, although Yuan Wen was a second-level scholar, he was deeply appreciated by He Qingjia because of his knowledge of farming and water conservancy. He was one of the few people who had seen He Qingjia's true appearance. Unfortunately, Yuan Wen was caught in a scandal, and he and the Yangzhou thin horse both fell off a cliff and died in love.
"Madam, you have already died once, so don't get entangled with the old person." Lu Yun said angrily.
"Isn't Ajun an old person?" He Qingjia teased.
"Madam, I am a dead warrior." Lu Yun snorted.
"Dead soldier Lujun, let's rest in peace." He Qingjia joked.
A month later, the Gongyuan results were released, and Li Chunjian wanted to watch the excitement.
"Qingjia, Chongrenfang is currently crowded and most in need of fans, so we sell the round fans with plain silk yarn and green bamboo handles, which are convenient for cooling off and can be used for writing poems and paintings. Those students who have failed the exams always have various kinds of fans. It's so sad, maybe it will be sung for a while after being written." Li Chunjian smiled innocently and harmlessly.
"My wife won't go, she smells like sweat!" Lu Yun said angrily, hands on her hips.
"Ajun, you misunderstood. How can I be willing to let Qingjia suffer. I want you and Lanyu to go there. After you earn money, remember to go to the building outside the building and bring flower rice cakes to Qingjia." Li Chunjian frowned. , seems drunk but not drunk.
"Your Highness Prince Kang, do you want to eat the steamed rice cake?" He Qingjia said calmly, took out a handful of broken silver from his purse and handed it to Li Chunjian.
Li Chunjian understood that He Qingjia was reluctant to let Lu Yun work as a coolie.
However, Lu Yun was curious about Yuan Shan's ranking, so he went to Chongrenfang. When he came back, he shook his head slightly, indicating that Yuan Shan failed the ranking.
"Yuan Shan failed the exam? It's unlikely. Dean Yang also praised Yuan Shan's policies and opinions, which pointed out the current ills and had spicy words, which are of great use." Li Chunjian whispered.
Li Chunjian paid attention to Yuan Shan because she expected Yuan Shan to be grateful in the future.
"Can His Highness Prince Kang get Yuan Shan's advice? Forget it, it looks like a lot of trouble." He Qingjia returned to the yard and took care of the flowering pot of jasmine.
The flowers are drooping, white and elegant, just like Yuan Wen's intuition when he first saw them.
After Yuan Shan failed the exam, he stayed away all night until a bad guy came to his door.
"What happened?" Li Chunjian put her hands behind her hands and raised her chin slightly. Her beautiful peach blossom eyes shone brightly, bringing out a little bit of the arrogance of a prince.
"Back to His Highness Prince Kang, Yuan Shan was unwilling to fail the exam. He gathered a group of Jinling students last night and made trouble in the Gongyuan. They demanded that all the examination papers of this autumn be released and burned this year's Guipang." A bad person clenched his fist. road.
That year, when He Qingjia reopened the imperial examination in Jinling, the local aristocratic families became even more violent and spread rumors everywhere, saying that He Qingjia had recruited a group of pretty boys from poor families to confront him. He Qingjia had always been neither sad nor happy, so he published all the examination papers and invited people from all over the world to judge.
Lu Jun felt that Qiu Wei was brewing a conspiracy this time, targeting He Qingjia.
After the bad guy left, Lu Yun pulled He Qingjia and started whispering again.
"Madam, how about we go to Luoyang." Lu Yun frowned.
"Ajun, most of them think Lu Xiao is Princess An Tai." He Qingjia sighed softly.
Lu Xiao is none other than Lu Jun’s sister, Lu Xiao. The two were originally going to be sold to Yangzhou as thin horses by the bad gambler Aye, but were later rescued by He Qingjia's mother-in-law. One stayed with He Qingjia, and the other pretended to be Princess Antai and endured many assassinations.
In the end, Lu Xiao replaced He Qingjia and died in the Battle of Jinling.
