Fu Changfeng and the other three were ranked at the back and stood further apart. Xichun saw him coming and called out quickly. When he saw him looking in his direction, Xichun also threw the flowers over.

In such a lively scene, the people in the front were naturally the ones who stole the show, so they didn't get much attention.

On the contrary, after they dispersed, the surrounding families who were planning to catch their son-in-law had begun to wait for the opportunity. Whenever they saw a young and handsome man, they would go up and ask others if they were married.

Xichun and Sister Cao were about to meet Fu Changfeng and his party when they saw a few servants standing in front of them.

"Three Jinshi, please stay. My master is a fifth-grade Yulin general in the current dynasty. I would like to ask if any of you are married?" A man who looked like a butler stopped between them.

"We are all married, and I hope your government will be kind enough to let us pass." Xie Jinshi didn't want to give up when he saw this situation, and wanted to let them run together.

Who would have thought that people had seen his intention and stopped him, and saw Xichun and Xi Chun standing next to the other two Jinshi, and immediately said with a smile that he must not have a wife.

"Quickly, please invite this Jinshi master to go home and marry our young lady." Several servants picked him up and headed over in a swaggering manner.

"Brother Zeng, Brother Fu, save me, I don't want to get married." Seeing that Jinshi was helpless, he had been set up by them, so he had to shout at a few people.

"What should we do now? Why don't we catch up and stop him?" Fu Changfeng and Zeng Jinshi stared at each other. They didn't know that the folk customs in the capital were so fierce that there were officials on the street who dared to snatch men from civilians.

"Haha, don't worry. If this Jinshi is really unwilling, they will have to invite him out later. They don't dare to hurt anyone. If you are worried, just wait at the gate of the mansion. We have a list in the capital. The tradition of catching a son-in-law, if the two of you are not married, I'm afraid you will have to go through it."

The other Jinshi next to him was obviously from the capital. Seeing them like this, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Thank you, brother. Let's go take a look. We are all here together. If anything happens, we can help." The four of them then walked together and followed the direction they were walking.

They didn't go far, and they saw a house. The plaque on the door was written to the Xu Mansion. Several servants had obviously just brought Xie Jinshi over. When they saw them, they didn't stop them and just asked them to wait here.

After waiting for a while, I saw Xie Jinshi walking out, seeing a few people, and walking over quickly, with a smile on his face, and no sign of intimidation at all.

"I think it's a good thing to come to Brother Xie, haha."

"Oh, thank you Brother Zeng and Brother Fu for waiting for me here. This can be considered a good thing. I have agreed to marry the young lady from Mr. Xu's family, but this matter will have to wait until I know the three matchmakers and six hired generals in my family. Marry Miss Xu back."

Xie Jinshi didn't pay attention to the two people's teasing. He didn't inform a few people about the situation until he returned to the small courtyard where they rented.

"Brother Xie, Brother Zeng, I just heard Mr. Xu say that if we won the Jinshi, we still have to wait for the Ministry of Personnel to send officials. Now we can move around. After all, these officials are also far and near. If we don't have any acquaintances, We can only wait for officials to be randomly assigned from above. So you should also think about it, find someone to say good things to, and try your best to get a good place. Only the first few people can stay in the capital, and all of us can only go to In other places, appoint a county magistrate and start from the bottom slowly."

"I didn't expect that Brother Xie just went in to talk about business. I think we can't just sit and wait for officials to be dispatched. We should move around. Brother Fu, if you have any officials you know well, please contact us."

"I'll think about this carefully for a while." After hearing this, Fu Changfeng also had some thoughts in his heart.

"Before we went to Beijing, didn't Grandpa Hu tell you that you can go to his son, Mr. Hu, to discuss it? I think we should go and hand over the invitation tomorrow and ask Mr. Hu to make an idea?" After they separated, Xichun and Fu Changfeng then Talk about this behind closed doors.

"Yes, we just handed in a greeting card once before, but we didn't go to see him in person. It seems that we still need to work on this relationship." After hearing this, Fu Changfeng agreed.

Mr. Hu's eldest son was an official in the capital. After Fu Changfeng inquired, he learned that he was in trouble from the Ministry of War of the fifth rank, and that Mr. Hu was also the minister of Taichang Temple, the third rank.

After Mr. Hu got off duty, he saw the greeting card handed in. He heard that it was a student taught by his father in Weinan County. Although he was not accepted as a disciple, he was treated as a disciple, so he asked the boy next to him to reply. , I will have a rest tomorrow, but I can be a guest.

After receiving the news, Fu Changfeng and Xichun breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Mr. Hu was willing to sell their favor, they made preparations and went to the street to buy gifts for tomorrow.

Sister Cao and Zeng Jinshi are also looking for connections, and they are also planning to meet a Beijing official. Their current relationship has not reached the point of mutual introduction, and they can only explore on their own. Sister Cao and Xichun also know that this is the case. He didn't have any objections to the other party's need to find someone.

Fu Changfeng took Xichun to the door of Hu's house. As soon as he entered, he was taken to the backyard by Mrs. Hu's maid. Mrs. Hu also listened to her husband's words and received Xichun personally.

"Haha, we have heard from my father-in-law before about Mrs. Fu's deeds. Mrs. Fu is really a strange woman. She originally said that she would let you live at home, but she didn't know that you went to live outside. Come on, let me introduce you to you. Introduction, this is my little daughter, you can just call her Mingyue, she always hears her grandfather talking about you, and she is curious now."

"Mrs. Hu, Miss Mingyue, I also heard Mr. Hu say that he has a well-behaved granddaughter at home." Xichun saw that Mrs. Hu was very polite and said with a smile.

"You are here, we are a family, don't be too formal. These are snacks. Come and try them. After finally finishing the exam, I think you are relieved a lot. There is nothing much to do these days, but you should come and have more fun." Play."

The chat in the inner courtyard was lively. Xichun told the two of them what he had seen and heard along the way and interesting things in his hometown, while Fu Changfeng and Mr. Hu were busy talking about business.

"I have inquired for you. If you want to stay in Beijing, your ranking is obviously not enough. Unless the relationship at home is stronger, and your family is originally engaged in business, as far as I know, the people in the Ministry of Personnel are not good enough." If you don't like this status, I'm afraid I will arrange you to a more remote place."

"Master Hu, what else can I do? Is there still a chance to find someone close to home?" Fu Changfeng was a little worried after hearing this. Although the imperial court had opened up the policy of imperial examination for the sons of businessmen, many people in the imperial court did not like to use it. An official with a business background, Mr. Hu had also told him that at the beginning.
