Qiao Xin took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "I really have something important to do. Your restaurant has such a big problem, why don't you take care of it? Why waste your time here?"
"Don't worry about it. Replace everyone. It won't be open in the future anyway. I'll just accompany you to watch the fun today! Look, everyone is waiting for the new scholar to come!"
Well, you can be willful when you have money. It’s such a good location and such a good shop, but you can just not open it.
What an ancestor!
.....
Qiao Xin paused, she seemed to have really forgotten when Qiao Yunqing took the exam?
Qiao Xin stood in the middle of the road, turned around and asked, "Have you looked at the list?"
Xu Can was a little embarrassed. "I participated too, of course I saw it. The list was just released, and the top few are really not easy to get!"
"Where is it? Take me there quickly!" Qiao Xin looked anxious and pulled Xu Can to leave.
"Hey, Auntie, do you have relatives participating in this Enke?"
"Um!"
"Who is it?"
"My son, Qiao Yunqing!"
"Ah, the number one scholar! I remember the number one scholar's name was Qiao Yunqing!"
Chu Yuan’s eyes were wide open and he couldn’t walk. When he came to his senses, he started shouting excitedly!
Yesterday, he went to the crowd to look at the list for his own son. That's why he was deeply impressed by the name Qiao Yunqing.
It's because nowadays, wherever you go, you can hear people talking about it. Even when the disciples of all the famous Confucian masters are joining forces to suppress them, a dark horse can suddenly appear and kill everyone by surprise.
I have never heard of which famous teacher he studied under, nor which noble family he came from!
The point is, you can hear the legend of Qiao Yunqing wherever you go these days, and it’s not about his talent, but about his face.
He looks too bad!
The food in their Marquis' Mansion restaurant is so bad, but it was still booked by the young ladies from aristocratic families today. It's all thanks to this number one scholar!
"Uh, your son, who were the ones who carried the wild boar to town?"
Xu Can's brain froze and he was completely stunned.
He really couldn't connect the famous top scholar with the farmer who carried a wild boar to the town!
"Well, if there is no second person with the same name, then it would be my second child without a doubt."
"Let's go buy some food first, then go back to your restaurant to see my son's demeanor!"
How could she miss such a glorious moment for Qiao Yunqing?
Chu Yuan muttered, "How could you not know about such a big thing? You're amazing!"
That's right. If she had gone to Beijing a few days later, she would have missed this event!
After all, Qiao Xin didn't think that being the top scorer in the imperial examination was a big deal. She had seen many modern people being admitted to doctoral programs, and they would just go out for a meal with a few close friends and relatives. Even if it was for a celebration, who would make a big fuss and invite all the local celebrities to come and celebrate!
I had just finished a bowl of noodle soup when I heard a commotion downstairs.
"Ahhh, number one scholar, look, look!"
The left and right wings moved in unison, all kinds of noisy sounds mixed together, making a commotion!
Qiao Xin stood in front of the window, looking down at the parade approaching from afar. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, oh my, her kid is really capable!
My old mother is so proud of it!
Qiao Xin was so mischievous that she took out a mosquito repellent sachet from her bag and shouted to Qiao Yunqing who was walking over, "Qiao Yunqing, catch it!"
Xu Can and his servant looked at Qiao Xin's bold move in amazement!
What is going on? This is the first time I see an old mother throwing a sachet at her son in public. What should I do if others misunderstand me?
"What are you looking at? My daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter can't come, so what if I send them a sachet? It's a good opportunity to let the world know that the number one scholar has already been taken!"
Xu Can......
Qiao Yunqing had a stern face the whole time, hoping to quickly complete the process. It was not a pleasant thing to be criticized like a monkey by others.
However, like the sound of nature, a familiar call came from above: "Qiao Yunqing, go on."
Qiao Yunqing's eyes were full of surprise, the corners of his mouth were stretched long. He raised his head when he heard the sound, and subconsciously grabbed the purse that was hit!
I saw Qiao Xin standing by the window of the room on the second floor, with Xu Can and his servant standing beside him. She waved at him heartlessly, her face full of excitement!
Qiao Yunqing raised his arm and responded to Qiao Xin, and even after walking a long distance he was still looking back!
The people were stunned!
In a nearby wing, Emperor Wu spat out a mouthful of tea after listening to the description of the people around him. The King of Qi, who was sitting below him, was unable to dodge and his hands were stained with tea.
"Brother, are you really... serious?"
"All of you heard that the man I personally selected as the top scholar actually accepted a woman's purse and was affectionate with her. What kind of thing is this?"
King Qi was calm and said, "What you see may not be the truth! She has already started a family and her children are grown up. Maybe that woman is her long-lost wife."
"It's just that once he gained power, he forgot everything else!"
The left prime minister who accompanied him was already dissatisfied with the fact that a poor student won the first top scholar of the new dynasty, so he naturally took the opportunity to seduce him.
"Don't worry, brother. I have sent someone to inquire about it!"
Emperor Wu just nodded and said nothing more.
The person who inquired for the news came back quickly: "Reply to the Saint, Your Majesty, that woman is Old Madam Qiao!"
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Now it was the King of Qi's turn to cough so hard that it shook the earth!
"Who are you talking about? Old Madam Qiao?"
"Yes, Old Man Qiao just arrived in the capital this morning. He was almost blackmailed for one or two taels of silver in Marquis Xiaoyao's restaurant. As a result, he slapped the shopkeeper. Prince Xu came out in person to apologize. It seems that the two have known each other for a long time!"
"This is something she is capable of doing. No wonder the top scholar is laughing so happily. He must be claiming sovereignty on behalf of his wife."
When King Qi heard it was Qiao Xin, he was not surprised at all.
"Brother, aren't you curious about what the person who made the meat jerky and honey looks like? How about meeting him?"
Emperor Wu was somewhat tempted, but the left prime minister stood up and advised: "Your Majesty, don't do that. The other party's origins are unknown, and we don't know whether they are enemies or friends. Now the rebels have not been completely eliminated. Who knows if this is not..."
"Left Prime Minister, you are too kind. I know you are thinking about the safety of His Majesty, but if you don't know, you might think you are holding a grudge against Qiao Yunqing for defeating your son and winning the rare title of No. 1 Scholar!
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I am really concerned about your Majesty's safety."
"Then Madam Qiao was personally appointed as a sixth-rank Anren by His Majesty. Are you saying that His Majesty is blind?"
Uh, the left prime minister was speechless after being rebuked by the King of Qi, and retreated with a shamefaced look on his face!
It's not good to be tactless. They talked for a long time, but His Majesty didn't say a word. Isn't the meaning very clear?
The King of Qi then turned to His Majesty and said, "Brother, how about I meet him first?"
"Can!"
Qiao Xin never expected that she would see King Qi again so soon. God still favored her a little and didn't want to let her run around!
