Empress work daily

Chapter 250
The answer is of course no, but in this way, it really seems that they are using this to blackmail their superiors.

Shen Wanjiu thinks that Xu Xiake and others are hypocritical, they want to gain a good reputation while gaining benefits, how can there be such a thing as the best of both worlds?Furthermore, such a false name is not worth mentioning.

His Majesty gave them the grace of merchants, they can't be embarrassed just like that!
Shen Wanjiu thought for a while, and asked Xu Xiake: "I remember your son is studying at White Horse Academy?"

Xu Xiake nodded.White Horse Academy is the largest private school in a hundred li radius. Compared with Guoxue Hongwen Hall, it is not worth mentioning, but it is the best among private schools.

In the past, the sons of merchants could not obtain fame and fame. They sent their sons to study for the purpose of being literate and sensible, so that they could take over the family business in the future, and they never thought of going to a higher level.Today, the pie is falling from the sky, and the sons of merchants are no different from the children of poor families and aristocratic families. As long as they read well, they will be able to get ahead through the imperial examination in the future. This undoubtedly gave great temptation to people like Xu Xiake and others.

"What are you still doing?" Shen Wanjiu felt that Xu Xiake should understand what he said, but things backfired.

"Quickly drop out of White Horse Academy and go to Hongwen Hall to sign up. I remember that Xu You is the best student in this life, so how can the courses of White Horse Academy compare with Hongwen Hall? If you move slowly, you may Can't get a spot."

As we all know, when Qiao and Lu's family fell, more than [-] seats were vacated in the Hongwen Museum. However, there are so many merchants in the capital and wealthy gentry in the surrounding area, so there may be no seats if you go late.

With Shen Wanjiu's encouragement, Xu Xiake finally reacted and ran out.

As soon as the door opened, he saw two people, one of them was standing behind them, and immediately fell down with a "plop", almost throwing himself to the ground.

Last year, on Yuan Ye, he had a chance encounter with His Majesty. Since then, His Majesty's image of being wise and mighty has been lingering in his heart. He never thought that in his lifetime, he would see His Majesty again, and so suddenly.

In this situation, Shen Wanjiu didn't even dare to think about it, and the other clubs were even more obedient and didn't dare to show their air.

Ji Qiang held the hand stove and entered the door with a smile: "Am I a tiger? You were so scared."

Shang Liujia also laughed and said: "Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy, Your Majesty leaves the palace in modest clothes, don't make any noise."

After taking his seat, Ji Qiang glanced around and asked, "Which one is Xu Xiake?"

Xu Xiake, who had just climbed up from the door, wanted to salute again, but was stopped by Ji Qiang: "I ask you, the works of the Holy King were really buried in the sea of ​​fire?"

Everyone gasped, what's going on?Holy, has the Holy King written a book?And has it been published in Qilufangzhai?

This Xu Xiake didn't reveal any rumors!

Xu Xiake wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied tremblingly: "Return, return to Your Majesty, the works of the Holy King are still, still are. The grassroots regard the works as their lives, and before they are published, they definitely dare not make any mistakes. .”

Ji Qiang laughed out loud, just saying, Yafu's crying was so exaggerated that day, it was mixed with water at first sight.

And his father, who also messed around with him.

"Where is the manuscript?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's in Caomin's study."

"Zhen, can I borrow it for a few days?" She had already finished reading the first two volumes, and the thread of the story happened to be stuck at a critical point, which made her feel itchy and couldn't wait for the book to be published.

"After I finish reading it, I will return it to Boss Xu."

Xu Xiake simply didn't know how to answer, His Majesty opened his mouth, there is no reason why he shouldn't.Your Majesty is really, too humble, too approachable.

Xu Xiake hurried his servants to his home to pick up the manuscript. Here, Ji Qiang invited everyone to sit down.

Everyone just silently watched Shen Wanjiu's actions, and after he thanked him and sat down, everyone followed him.

"I don't know everyone, what do you think about the Haojing Chamber of Commerce?"

Shen Wanjiu heard the words, stood up and replied: "The grassroots have a little bit of rules, I don't know if it is feasible or not."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and presented it to Ji Qiang.

After Ji Qiang browsed carefully, he could not close his mouth from ear to ear.Shen Wanjiu is a person who acts cautiously and cautiously all day long, but in fact, he always does his part when striving for the upper hand.

Based on his self-recommendation as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Ji Qiang knew that he had read the right person.

Ji Qiang pointed to a few places, and discussed with Shen Wanjiu, the tense atmosphere in the room gradually subsided, and later, they all rushed to speak and express their thoughts.No matter who spoke, Ji Qiang smiled at each other, so that later, everyone was able to speak freely.

After pouring two pots of tea, someone suddenly shouted, "It's snowing!"

Ji Qiang and everyone looked out the window at the same time, and sure enough, the six-petal snow fell, and the bustling Zhuque Street suddenly became a special scene.Downstairs, pedestrians coming and going sighed loudly, and at the same time quickened their pace to go home. Some children ran out of their homes, shouting and laughing, forgetting themselves happily in the world of heavy snow.

When Ji Qiang looked at these people, he kept smiling.

"The smell of fireworks is the most reassuring." She said lightly.

Although everyone was at a loss, they were all equally happy, unspeakably happy.

Shen Wanjiu kept echoing in a low voice, and Ji Qiang joked: "Boss Shen, don't always say yes and yes, show me something practical."

Shen Wanjiu was a little confused.

Shang Liujia reminded with a smile: "It's rare for His Majesty to come, and Boss Shen won't hold a table? At this time, Your Majesty should have dinner."

Shen Wanjiu was ecstatic in his heart, His Majesty would honor him with dinner at Zuixianlou, he would never even dare to think about it.

Shen Wanjiu couldn't hide his joy, and asked Ji Qiang what he wanted to eat, and said, they dare not say anything else in Zuixianlou, but they have everything in the world's eight major cuisines.

But Ji Qiang looked at the snow falling outside the window and said, "Eat the pot, it's warm."

"Okay!" Shen Wanjiu hurriedly went to the kitchen with the staff to make arrangements. As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the room became tense again.

Xu Xiake led the crowd to leave, Ji Qiang said with a smile: "No one is allowed to leave, and everyone stays to eat. Boss Shen is generous with his treat, why should you be polite to him?"

Everyone was overjoyed and thanked him one after another.

A hot pot feast is accompanied by the snowflakes outside the window, and everyone enjoys it.It wasn't until night fell that Ji Qiang got up and went back to the palace.

After a hot pot banquet, the merchants once again refreshed their understanding of the monarch. Seeing the majesty and extraordinary bearing, the halo temporarily receded, and she was just a cute and lovely girl next door, who could speak witty words and hear interesting things. Things will also laugh out loud.

The only difference from the little girl next door is that she is too dazzling, and she has a natural awe-inspiring beauty when she smiles.

Sheng Jia got up, and everyone saw them off, with sincere smiles on their faces, Ji Qiang opened the curtain and said to everyone: "I have high hopes for you, and the capital's commercial firms have their own rules, so the localities will follow suit."

Shen Wanjiu and others hurriedly pledged their lives, and they would do their best.

Ji Qiang smiled and nodded, the curtain of the carriage was lowered slowly, and the carriage slowly drove towards the imperial city.

When the wind picked up, the snowflakes fluttered and the red lanterns on the door of the restaurant swayed from side to side, and the candlelight inside was dim.

Xu Xiake murmured: "It's like a dream, I actually had dinner with His Majesty and talked about everything..."

Everyone was smiling, watching the tall and spacious carriage gradually drifting away and disappearing into the vast snowy night...
