Chapter 285 The Days Are Getting More Hopeful
"Tingwan, are you okay?" Wen Mingke hurriedly got out of the carriage.
Just now, in order not to disturb his daughter's contact with Pei Xueqiao, he deliberately hid in the carriage and did not show up.
Who could have thought that when success was about to happen, it would be ruined by a small doorman.
Thinking of this, he quickly walked up and banged on the door, "Come out!"
After waiting for a few breaths, the old man opened the door and said, "How dare you cause trouble in the princess's mansion? Are you crazy?"
Seeing his calm and composed appearance, Wen Mingke's anger suddenly soared to the sky, and he stomped his feet in anger.
"How can you, old man, talk nonsense? How come you don't recognize us? It's only been a few days."
The old man had fully understood His Highness's attitude, and he curled his lips in disdain after hearing this.
"He's not a close relative. We only see each other once every few years. It would be strange if the old man could recognize him."
"you……"
"What do you mean by 'you'? If you dare to act like a spoiled child again, I'll call the guards."
After saying that, he didn't care that there was someone at the door and slammed the door shut.
Qin Zhaoyue had already left Suimo's arms at this time. His main feature was that he could release and hold back freely.
Although she has never studied acting seriously, she has watched at least hundreds of dramas.
Just have some green tea occasionally, isn't that easy?
It's not that she can't, it's just that she hasn't met a man who is worthy of her using such means.
He nodded at Lao Fangtou and said, "Okay, let's get started. Increase the monthly salary."
Old Fangtou was bent over, grinning from ear to ear, looking completely different from his unruly self just now.
"Hehehe, thank you for the reward, Your Highness."
I felt so relieved in my heart. Who would have thought that as time went by, the days would become more and more promising.
Qin Zhaoyue raised his head proudly and strode into the mansion.
Sui Mo quickly suppressed the heat on his face, sighed deeply, and hurried to catch up.
Wen Mingke, who was outside the door, almost hit his nose and took three steps back.
I was just blinded by anger. The greater the hope, the deeper the disappointment. Unfortunately, the bad thing happened at the hands of an insignificant servant.
But this is the princess's mansion, and they have just repaired their relationship with Zhao Yue.
The money has already been spent, and if the relationship becomes strained at this point, we can only suffer in silence.
He gasped, his chest heaving violently, but he finally forced himself to swallow the breath.
"Ting Wan..."
At this time, Wen Tingwan had already put away her resentful expression, and was just looking at the gate of the princess's mansion with a deep look.
"Father, don't be angry. Business is more important. Don't lose your composure."
Looking at his daughter's well-behaved appearance, Wen Mingke felt regretful, but it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel heartbroken.
The two generations of the Wen family had failed in the imperial examinations, including himself.
It was thought that Qin Minghuang would succeed to the throne, and Wen Ruoyu, as the "son-in-law", would be able to take care of the Wen family.
As a result, the empress ignored her in-laws and did not grant them any power.
He knew that his daughter was proud and talented, but none of the daughters of officials in the capital took the imperial examinations, so how could his Wen family dare to be the first to do so?
But this time it is different. The empress forces all the noble officials to end their lives, and Ting Wan can take advantage of the favorable situation.
"Tingwan, don't be angry. As long as this time..."
"Father." Wen Tingwan interrupted her father. It was too early to say this now.
She naturally understood that the reason why a small doorman dared to speak rudely was because the Wen family had no foundation in the court.
If I pass this time, I don’t know whether I will pass the provincial examination or the palace examination.
Even if she stops at the level of a juren, she can still serve as an official. Your Majesty has made it clear that he wants to support female officials, and then everything will be different.
If they were officials in the same dynasty and asked Pei Xueqiao for advice again, would he still walk away in anger?
Huh... He slowly exhaled and asked the servant to knock on the door again, this time with much more politeness.
The old man still opened the door, accepted the bribe of ten taels of silver, and sent someone to pass the message.
As a result, the Wen family father and daughter waited at the door for a long time, but in the end they were not able to enter the mansion at all. They only received a policy essay test paper.
Are you kidding? Qin Zhaoyue has already taken the money and knows what kind of people these two are. How could he have the time to act with them?
Giving them the test paper is a business courtesy and a sign of being trustworthy.
The Wen family father and daughter were filled with anger and finally had to go home in disgrace.
Qinggefang, Huichuntang Pharmacy.
The shop was not very popular at this time. After all, their business mainly came from singers and patrons, and the peak period was at night.
The servant was in charge of cleaning and tidying up, while the young shopkeeper was fiddling with the abacus behind the counter.
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a round-necked, narrow-sleeved robe and a black turban on his head strode in.
The young shopkeeper's first glance fell on the sword hanging on the leather belt at his waist, and he hurriedly walked out of the counter.
"Sir, what's wrong with your body..."
He stopped talking midway because he saw the clerk holding a water or fire stick behind him.
If he was going to see a doctor, why would there be such a scene?
The bailiff glared at him, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with Wang Chong?"
Second Uncle Wang? The young shopkeeper was nervous but didn’t dare to be vague. He immediately explained that they were from the same hometown, and at the same time accepted his medicinal materials and commissioned him to refine the medicine.
"Second Uncle Wang went back to Xianyun County early in the morning."
Ha, the yamen runner sneered, "Wang Chong has committed a crime. Since you are familiar with him, come with us."
