It's time for a showdown, all the powerful officials in Beijing are my students!

An Xin ordered Da Zhuang to take out the copper coins she had exchanged in advance and spread them out. No matter whether the capital has this rule or not, anyway, after they pass the exam, the family members will throw some copper coins for celebration.

Whether it is neighbors, passers-by, beggars, whoever wants to pick it up, the host family will be happy.

Wait until the crowd at the door has dispersed.

Li Ziyu, Leng Xiangbai, Jiang Zhou, An Rui, even if they pretend not to spend their money, they have to take it out and count it every day. Whether there is any stingy Zhu Shijing who was dragged away by the mouse without his attention, he was also generous. .

All five of them gave an extra month's reward to all the servants who served in the yard.

Qingfengmingyue, Dazhuang, Maimai and the servants they brought with them were all grinning from ear to ear.

If one person pays for an extra month, that's five months' monthly interest, which is not a small sum for them.

Because An Xin and the others came to the capital not long ago, and they didn't have any close friends, they didn't plan to treat guests to a banquet to celebrate.

However, there were still officials who wanted to make friends with them and sent gifts. General Yuchi and his family also sent congratulatory gifts when they learned that they had passed the exam.

An Xin sent these people away with a bright smile.

Thinking of the unfilial students who wanted to go out early and return home late these days, An Xin who sent them away immediately turned into a donkey's face.

Conspiring to leave these trivial matters to her, and going out to hide for leisure, this is what people do.

Anxin declined congratulatory gifts from other families because she was not around, only General Yuchi's residence, Cheng Engong Jiang's residence, General Zhengdong's residence Gao's residence, and General Anbei's Chen's residence.

The four families sent congratulations in the name of their son being their younger brother. An Xin declined with the same reason, but was defeated by the firm attitude of the four families.

Thinking of those troublesome brats, and seeing the things that some families gave away, we will never take back the little expressions.

"???"

What can An Xin do, throw it out, it doesn't seem very good, so she finally had to accept it.

Afterwards, An Xin still invited the grandparents of the Liu family, Old Doctor Su, and the already familiar Yuchi family, Jiang family, Gao family, and Chen family to celebrate together.

When the family members saw that Li Ziyu and the six had glints in their eyes, and when they looked at the monkey cubs in their own family who were causing trouble all day long, they didn't like anything.

Yuchiyi and the others, who had suffered from the unreasonable disaster, curled their lips, and secretly glared at the cheap senior brothers, wondering whether they thought about other people's feelings when they were so good.

"..." Please leave a way out for the young and helpless juniors who need care.

Yu Chiyi, Jiang Chenxi, Gao Tai, and Chen Qibao stared at a few of their senior brothers playfully before they could retract their envious eyes.

Meeting their eyes, the small overlords who used to be arrogant and domineering couldn't help shaking their hearts.

There is no way, the six people took turns cleaning up the bag full of hair, and let them find the wrong place to call for grievances, the senior brother who is full of bad water is too scary.

*
The place where powerful ministers and nobles live.

In a low-key mansion that cannot conceal its luxurious decoration.

"Snapped"

There was a loud slap.

Xiao Wenjin looked at her father who was always kind to others in disbelief, and looked at herself angrily.

"Master!" The prime minister's wife next to him shouted in surprise.

Seeing his proud son being slapped by his husband in front of several servants, neither Xiao Wenjin nor the prime minister's wife could accept it.

"You don't need to wait here anymore, let's go down to last year." The prime minister's wife suppressed her panic, and looked at the servants sharply, with a clear warning.

The servants who were angered were also very wronged. Could they know what happened to the master's house?

I was very frightened in my heart, fearing that I would be implicated and silenced, the two groups fought, and retreated tremblingly.

Prime Minister Xiao had a compact body, a well-proportioned appearance, clear facial features, deep eye sockets, and eyes that gleamed with anger.

There is a beard on his chin, and his strong literati air also makes him appear more intelligent and learned.

The prime minister's wife suppressed her displeasure, and said softly: "Sir, how could you beat Jin'er for no reason, not to mention that he has always been sensible and courteous, even if he did something wrong.

The master can talk about him, educate him, and beat him, isn't it necessary? "

When Prime Minister Xiao saw that there was no one else in the room, the anger he had suppressed just now became even stronger, and he sternly reprimanded: "As a woman, why don't you ask what your good son has done?"

After all, Prime Minister Xiao is a very well-established person in the city, otherwise he would not have taught Xiao Wenjin that at such a young age, not only was his talent spread all over the capital, he became the head of the Four Young Masters.

If he hadn't been caught cheating by some big boss, big boss, big boss, even if Xiao Wenjin would not be the number one, ranking in the top ten of the list would not be a problem.

But how can a person who has always been proud and proud be willing to be inferior to others, otherwise there would not be so many well-known juzi in the capital some time ago.

An Xin would not sacrifice her beauty sleep either. In a few nights, she would turn into a strongman and throw sandbags.

Seeing her father so angry, Xiao Wenjin suddenly opened her eyes wide, with a flash of panic in them.

I have a bad premonition in my heart.

Sure enough, the words left by Prime Minister Xiao before he threw his sleeves and left confirmed his thoughts.

"Several officials from the Ministry of Rites who participated in this year's examination papers were all secretly imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment. You don't need me to teach you what you should do?!"

Different from the tense atmosphere at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Zhiqing, who is the fourth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Rites, should have been on the list of officials of the Ministry of Rites who were reviewing papers this spring.

But because his own son was implicated by a few little overlords in the capital a few years ago, they rode horses on the long street, and Emperor Sheng'an angrily crossed out his name.

At that time, Cao Zhiqing wanted to beat his son Cao Peng angrily because of the loss of his good performance this time. Maybe he had a chance of promotion, but he was stopped by his strong and eager wife.

This made Cao Zhiqing, who originally thought that marrying a noble woman would be able to soar into the sky, high-ranking officials, riches, and wealth at his fingertips, once again suppressed the resentment accumulated over the years of not being promoted.

Cao Zhiqing was originally a poor scholar with a lofty heart. After he finished high school with the resources of his Yue family, he could do the thing of abandoning his wife and son.

How could he be a person who loves his sons and daughters? At the beginning, he talked sweetly and coaxed the concubine Du Shi who was favored by the Marquis of Wuchang.

He just wanted to use her to get rid of his status as a son-in-law, and also wanted to find another person who could help him rise up another ladder.

For so many years now, I don't know whether Cao Zhiqing's own ability is not good, or because of some other reasons, he has never moved from the position of doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

How could such a person find reasons on himself? He took it for granted that he could not be promoted and blamed the declining Wuchang Marquis.

He felt that the Du family had lost their favor and was rejected by the present, so he would be implicated and his official position had not been moved for all these years.
