Chapter 204 Dingxi Quilt

"Yes, ten sets each, is there any problem?" Jiang Shuyue looked at the shopkeeper in confusion.

The shopkeeper had never seen so many wedding quilts ordered at one time, and swallowed his saliva and said, "No, no problem, may I ask when is the wedding day of the young lady? I can definitely make it in advance."

If there are not enough embroiderers in his cloth shop, he can go outside to find one, but such a big buyer can't let go.

The quilt cover is not fully embroidered, so it can be made quickly.

Jiang Shuyue saw that the shopkeeper misunderstood and shook her head, "It's not my wedding, it would be better if it can be made within ten days."

It is the first time in Wanling Country to decorate the inn like a wedding room, and Jiang Shuyue doesn't want to explain.

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, "It can be made in a hurry, young lady, please rest assured. Our cloth shop has the best and most embroiderers in the capital."

Then he turned to look at Nangong Zeyue, "What else does the young master need? There are ready-made wedding clothes over there, you can choose at will."

Nangong Zeyue: "..."

It's really a pot that doesn't open the pot. I want to wear wedding clothes, but some people don't understand.

"The bed sheets should be made according to the style and size on this drawing, and the embroidery on the pillowcase and quilt cover should echo each other."

Seeing Jiang Shuyue take out the drawings and draw the shopkeeper's attention, Nangong Zeyue felt relieved.

Jiang Shuyue selected all the things she needed in the inn in one breath, paid the deposit, and left the address of Juxian Pavilion.

The shopkeeper watched the two talented and beautiful people leave, and said to himself with regret, "I thought they were a couple in a hurry to get married, but I didn't expect that they were booked for the restaurant."

After leaving the cloth shop, Nangong Zeyue asked Cang Yun to send Jiang Shuyue back home, and he went to the restaurant again.

When he returned to the mansion, Su Jin had already washed and changed into the new clothes that Qiu Ju helped him buy.

"Ajin, you have worked hard these days. Next, we will wait for the results to be announced. You should relax and don't think about the results."

In Jiang Shuyue's view, the imperial examination is just like the modern college entrance examination. You are nervous before the exam and uneasy after the exam. If you don't see the results for a day, your heart is hanging.

Su Jin poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Sister is the hardest. The questions this time are not very difficult."

"You are younger than many candidates. If you fail, you can just wait for another three years." Jiang Shuyue comforted him.

She had experienced the college entrance examination in her previous life and knew that she couldn't expect too much. If she passed, it would be a surprise. If she didn't do well in the exam, she didn't need to be too disappointed.

In the evening, after Nangong Zeyue came back, several people sat together and drank happily.

Nangong Zeyue and Jiang Shuyue talked about Juxian Pavilion and greenhouse vegetables. Su Jin didn't understand business, so he listened quietly. He and Su Nan took turns feeding Sui Sui.

In the palace, the lights in the imperial study were bright. Seeing that the emperor was listening attentively to Xiang Song's report on the Imperial Academy, Eunuch Ma quietly stepped aside to serve.

"Your Majesty, all the candidates were thrown into the Jingzhao Yin. Lord Lu said that he would severely punish the invigilator to set an example."

Xiang Song only reported the key points. The punishment of the scholar was very simple, and he did not elaborate.

Xiao Jingzhao nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Lord Lu's approach.

Xiang Song glanced at Eunuch Ma beside him and said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

Xiao Jingzhao raised his chin slightly, "There are no outsiders here, just say it directly."

Eunuch Ma's eyes were hot when he heard it. The emperor really treated him as a confidant.

"Your Majesty, I went to see what the midnight snack was made." Eunuch Ma bowed and retreated.

Seeing Ma Gonggong leave, Xiang Song lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the people sent out to investigate the eldest prince of Liang have reported back."

Xiao Jingzhao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Have you found any clues?"

"Yes, it's good news. We found out that someone was chasing a caravan that year. There was a nanny and a baby in the caravan."

Xiang Song paused and said, "The place where the caravan disappeared was in Yannan."

"Just tell me whether the child is dead or alive?" Xiao Jingzhao frowned slightly.

"Some villagers saw the fight and heard the baby crying. The whole caravan was dead, including the nanny, and the baby was missing."

"In the end, it was confirmed that the child was rescued." Xiang Song added the key point.

Xiao Jingzhao narrowed his eyes, "Investigate, send another group of people out to investigate, and make sure to find the whereabouts of the child."

"I will arrange it right away."

Xiang Song left, and a secret guard landed under the eaves in front of the window.

Xiao Jingzhao shouted outside, "Come in and talk."

The dark guard in black clothes jumped in from the window.

The dark guard knelt on one knee to salute, then stood up and whispered beside Xiao Jingzhao.

After listening, Xiao Jingzhao's eyes flashed coldly, and he waved his hand, "Be sure to get the evidence."

The dark guard stepped back and bowed, saying, "This is a serious matter. I have sent people to chase him."

Not long after the dark guard left, Ma Gonggong and the palace maid who brought the midnight snack came in.

Tonight's midnight snack is a plate of cakes and a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup.

The head of the Lin Academy came to check his pulse today and said that he had a strong liver fire and should not take any more tonics.

These few days, bad things happened one after another, how could Xiao Jingzhao not be angry.

After eating the midnight snack, Xiao Jingzhao walked out of the imperial study and stood in the corridor, looking up at the sky, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The vast sky was as dark as ink, as if it was heavily painted with thick ink. The night wind blew, and the leaves rustled on the branches.

Suddenly, a figure flashed under the corridor. Xiao Jingzhao looked sideways and saw that it was Xiangyang. He asked hurriedly: "How is it? Did she accept Hu Qing?"

"Master, it's OK. Hu Qing said that the girl has kept him for a trial period of three months."

Xiao Jingzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"

Xiangyang explained hurriedly, "That is to say, Hu Qing must not make a mistake within three months, otherwise the girl will not keep him."

"There is such a way of employing people?" Xiao Jingzhao stared at Xiangyang in disbelief.

Xiangyang felt a chill on his back, shrank his neck and said, "Master, don't worry, you know Hu Qing's ability, he will definitely gain the girl's trust."

The next morning, it rained lightly, and Nangong Zeyue went to the restaurant to supervise regardless of wind and rain.

Cang Yun took the seeds and went to the farm outside the city. Two greenhouses had been built on the farm, and Cang Yun was anxious to send seeds to try planting.

An hour later, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the rain dripped down the eaves, like pearls that had broken off the string.

Jiang Shuyue sat in front of the window, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of her, and her mind was full of the layout plan of the restaurant.

The sound of the beaded curtains rang out, and Qiuju walked in, "Miss, the scholars in the capital are all clapping and cheering."

Jiang Shuyue turned around and asked, "What big thing happened again?"

"Miss, you don't know yet, there is a proctor in the Imperial Examination Hall who helped others cheat and was imprisoned in the Jingzhao Yin prison. The emperor was furious and appointed a left and a right prime minister at the morning court today."

"There is also news that the emperor will hold the palace examination to select the top scholar after the results are announced, and will not wait until next spring."

Then Qiuju vividly described the news she heard today.

Jiang Shuyue sincerely admired Xiao Jingzhao's ability. She nodded, "Now is the time to employ people. The emperor does not stick to the old rules. This year's candidates are blessed."
