After finishing speaking, Zhao Hengchen cupped his hands, and suggested: "Then Xie Qian only used the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to involve the wind, flowers, snow and moon, and did not tarnish the saint's etiquette, let alone violate the court system."

"Weichen suggested that he should be admitted according to his talent, and he should be designated as Tanhualang."

After Zhao Hengchen made his statement, Li Weihan, who was kneeling behind him, and the [-] academicians all immediately echoed: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen just smiled slightly.

It is really not an easy task to make these honest and upright people, who have read poetry and books, be sincerely convinced. Zhu Qizhen did not use imperial power to suppress them, but made them submit sincerely. This not only relieved him, but also had a a sense of satisfaction.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Zhuangyuan Building.

The rooster sings the whole world.

It was just dawn, and the madam of Chunyuan Building had already led a few people to the Zhuangyuan Building. He roared in the street on the street: "Open the door! You, a shopkeeper who has been paid a thousand dollars, opened a black shop and treated me like a flower like a jade." The daughter abduction is here!"

The boss of Zhuangyuan Building opened the door, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Hey, look at what you said. No one in the capital knows that Miss Liu Rushi is your cash cow, and Eunuch Cao is taking care of her. My family is a grave that has grown nine feet. Qingyan, who dares not be tempted by her."

"You, did you make a mistake?"

The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

In the capital city, no one has the ability to open a brothel. Although the boss of the Zhuangyuan Building has a lot of money, he dare not offend these people.

The old bustard yelled angrily: "Fuck your mother's shit!"

"Just last night, there were people here who heard Liu Rushi singing and playing the piano. How dare you not admit it?"

"Sensible, tell my old lady, which room is she in?"

The old bustard threatened: "If Eunuch Cao finds out about this, I promise to take your dog's head!"

The shopkeeper said innocently: "Look at what you said, I really don't know."

"Then let me ask you, which room does Xie Qian live in?"

The old bustard asked angrily.

"Second floor, Room A No. [-]."

Eunuch Cao's prestige and Dongchang's viciousness, who would dare not talk about it?The store manager didn't dare to hide anything, so he had to answer honestly.

"Follow me up and search!"

The old bustard summoned the thugs behind, and then threatened the shopkeeper: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you now. I'll argue with you after I catch the rape, and see how you argue."

After saying that, he led the people to rush upstairs.

On the second floor, Room A No. [-].

Before the door was kicked open, Xie Qian and Liu Rushi had already heard the movement. It was the madam of Chunyuan Building who led a dozen people and came angrily to arrest Liu Rushi.

Xie Qian inside was stunned for a moment, happy and unafraid, and then hugged Liu Rushi tightly in his arms, comforting: "I am here, don't be afraid."

Chapter 1 Chapter Seven

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

Xie Qian comforted.

Liu Rushi nodded, and said softly, "Well, I'm not afraid."

Then, he stretched out his hand, took out a bank note from his clothes, handed it to Xie Qian and said, "This is a bank note I exchanged all my savings for, a total of 10 taels, you just say it's yours , take it to redeem me.”

Xie Qian took the bank note with tears in his eyes.

The bank note was issued by the Daming Bank, so there is no deception.

How can Xie Qian live up to this beautiful woman?

At this moment, the door of the room was kicked open with a slam, and the madam swarmed in with a dozen thugs, aggressively.

"My God!"

When the madam saw the two hugging each other and sitting under the quilt, she exclaimed, and a raging fire burst out of her eyes, wishing to tear Xie Qian to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, she couldn't help but her legs went limp, and she sat cross-legged on the ground, scratching her throat, and started pointing at Liu Rushi and yelling: "You heartless bastard!"

"In the past few days, you have closed the door to thank guests, and I know that you have become a waver!"

"So many nobles and wealthy businessmen spend money to see you, but you don't see it. Now it's all right. You didn't pay a penny, and you ruined your body on this pig."

Crying and cursing up to this point, the bustard immediately stretched out her hands, got up from the ground, and then pounced on her, trying to catch Liu Rushi.

With a push of both hands, Xie Qian pushed the madam back a few steps.

The bustard was furious, and howled loudly: "What is this? It's just the last Jinshi in Bingke!"

"Just for the fame of the tattered clock!"

"A beggar is not like a beggar, and a singer is not like a singer. You alone are not worthy of carrying shoes for those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen."

After saying that, he started pointing at Liu Rushi and cursed: "This kind of person, you should sleep with him, you heartless bastard!"

After the bustard's noise, several spectators had already gathered outside the door.

The shopkeeper hurriedly walked in and persuaded: "My ancestor, you should wake up. This Liu Rushi is the number one oiran in the capital. It's too late for me to keep her body broken. It's better for you. Are you still yelling all over the sky, because you are afraid that others will not know?"

After being told by the store manager, the madam suddenly regained consciousness, but she still muttered, "I just won't say it, can this paper hold the fire?"

As he said that, he cursed again: "Now that the raw rice has been cooked, even if this down-and-out talent redeems her, he won't be able to offer a price."

Speaking of this, the madam couldn't help but cursed bitterly: "You rascal, you really don't clean yourself up."

Hearing this, Xie Qian lifted the quilt, turned over and got out of bed, and asked, "How much money do you want to redeem her body?"

"Just because you want to redeem Liu Rushi's life?"

The madam got angry when she heard it: "Unless your old man is willing to pay the money. Well, it seems that I have to lose money now, so I will pay to the end."

"Redemption is 1 taels of silver, plus my mother has raised her for nine years, provided her with food, drink and clothing, and asked the master to call her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is 1 taels a year, and the total is 10 taels of silver."

"Pay the money with one hand, deliver the goods with one hand, and give the money!"

With that said, the madam stretched out her hand to Xie Qian.

Xie Qian sneered, and said coldly: "Okay, 10 taels is 10 taels, but you have to make a written receipt first."

Hearing this, the madam couldn't help but look dumbfounded, and asked suspiciously: "Can you have 10 taels of silver?"

Xie Qian took out the bank note that Liu Rushi gave him, slapped it on the table, and said coldly: "Whether there is or not, you pick it up and see for yourself."

The madam picked up the banknote and looked at it carefully for a long time.

She couldn't believe her eyes, she turned her head and handed the banknote to the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper, "Come and see, is this banknote real or fake?"

The shopkeeper took the banknote, looked at it carefully, and assured him: "That's right, it's the banknote of Daming Bank, and it can be exchanged for cash at any time."

Hearing this, the madam's eyes lit up.

However, just when he was about to get the banknote, Xie Qian took the banknote first and said, "If you want money, first make a written receipt."

"Good thing, it's a good thing."

The shopkeeper hurriedly chimed in and said, "I'll be a witness for you two."

The fickle mother-in-law finished writing the paperwork and collected the bank notes. She just walked to the bedside and took Liu Rushi's little hand to exchange greetings. After learning about the situation, she couldn't bear to ask: "Daughter, do you really want to go to the south of the Yangtze River with him?" ?"

Liu Rushi had already put on her clothes, nodded, and said in an extremely firm tone, "Yes, I have made up my mind."

The madam looked at the daughter who had been brought up by hand, with complicated emotions.

She is indeed mean and loves money, but after all, she was raised by her own hands, so she still has some feelings, so she took out a bank note of 1000 taels, handed it to Liu Rushi and said, "Take this bank note, treat it as your mother." Your dowry."

As he spoke, he began to sob a little.

Immediately afterwards, the madam reminded again: "If one day in the future, you can't live with this down-and-out genius, come to the capital to find your mother, okay?"

Hearing her speak so sincerely, Liu Rushi's eyes also became moist, and he knelt on the ground, sobbing: "Mother's kindness in nurturing, my daughter will never forget it."

As he said that, Liu Rushi glanced at Xie Qian, and said again: "Since I have made up my mind with him, I will never look back for the rest of my life. Mom, take care of yourself."

After speaking, he kowtowed to the madam.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of excitement downstairs of the number one scholar, the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums suddenly roared.

Everyone present was taken aback.

"How is this going?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly asked a shop waiter who hurried up.

The waiter hurriedly replied out of breath, "It's Mr. Xie who graduated No. 3 in Jia Ke, Tanhualang."

Hearing this, Xie Qian was taken aback.

Then shaking his head, Xie Qian denied it: "The emperor's list has been released long ago. I am the last one in Section C. How could it be Tan Hualang? Someone must be playing a prank."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told Liu Rushi, "Get ready, we will leave later, leave the capital."

Unexpectedly, Liu Rushi said softly: "I'm so scared..."

The sound is like a mosquito.

Of course Xie Qian knew what Liu Rushi was afraid of.

The Ming court had a system, and those who were famous and famous were not allowed to marry women from brothels.

If Xie Qian was only the last one in Section C, he would resign from his job at the Imperial Academy, and he would not feel it a pity if he didn't want this fame, let alone attract attention.

But if he is really Tanhualang, he will definitely be valued by the court, and if he marries the number one oiran in the capital, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court and critics from scholars all over the world.

Xie Qian took Liu Rushi's hand, smiled softly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, even if I really pass the exam, for you, I would rather not have this fame."

"Aren't you afraid now?"

Hearing Xie Qian's gentle promise, Liu Rushi nodded slightly just now.

At this time, a servant downstairs shouted: "Jinling Mansion Xie Qian, Mr. Xie is No. 3 in the First Division of Senior High School, Tanhualang and No. [-]. Please, Mr. Xie, go downstairs and cross the street, and then report to the Imperial College."

Hearing the shout downstairs, everyone upstairs was taken aback.

Xie Qian smiled, patted Liu Rushi on the back lightly, and said, "I'll go downstairs to have a look."

Following Xie Qian, everyone came downstairs.

Until this moment, the people present were really stunned.

Because it's not fake, Xie Qian is really Tan Hua Lang!

I saw a group of champions downstairs, beating gongs and drums, pulling a tall horse in red and wearing talent. An officer hurried forward and bowed: "Thank you, sir, for crossing the street."

Immediately, Xie Qian's face turned pale, and he kept muttering to himself, shaking his head and saying, "This is impossible, this is impossible..."

The guard smiled and said, "Master Tanhualang, don't doubt it. The Minister of Rites, Zhao Hengchen, Mr. Zhao said that it was His Majesty who personally brought up your examination paper. You, Tanhualang, were handpicked by His Majesty."

Chapter 1 Zhu Qizhen admonishes the disciples of the Son of Heaven

Seeing this situation, Liu Rushi couldn't help standing a little unsteadily, her pretty face became as white as paper, she forced a smile, and then looked deeply at Xie Qian.

Xie Qian's heart was racing and his blood was boiling.

He hurriedly walked towards Liu Rushi, supported Liu Rushi's shoulders with both hands, then turned his head and said to the guard: "No, I don't want this Tanhualang!"

A warm feeling welled up in Liu Rushi's heart, two lines of tears dripped down involuntarily, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "No, you have studied hard for more than ten years, and it is not easy to pass the exam, let alone the emperor Enyu, you go, I'll be waiting for you."

Xie Qian was stunned, and then shouted loudly: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper!"

"Master Xie, oh no, Master Tanhualang, the little one is here."

The store manager hurried over and answered with a bow and a smile.

Xie Qian said in an unquestionable tone: "My wife will stay with you temporarily, and you must take good care of me."

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded, and replied repeatedly: "This is natural, this is natural, you can rest assured, Mr. Tanhualang."

Xie Qian turned his head, held Liu Rushi's hand and said, "Wait for me, if you can't have both, I, Xie Qian, will definitely resign from office and come back to you if I don't want fame."

With tears in her eyes, Liu Rushi nodded with a smile.

Xie Qian climbed onto the tall horse and paraded across the street.

After a horse parade, Xie Qian arrived at the Guozijian, and Zhao Hengchen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was waiting for him inside, tasting tea.
