Chapter 286 Before Entering the Examination Room
On the day of the spring flower-viewing banquet, all the unmarried ladies from aristocratic families arrived as scheduled.
Everyone knew that today's event was ostensibly about flower viewing, but in reality it was Prince Jing choosing a concubine.
Among the noble ladies who came, in addition to the legitimate daughters of aristocratic families, there were also concubines' daughters who had previously rarely been invited to palace banquets, as well as the daughters of officials below the seventh rank.
This approach of "recruiting talents regardless of their background" really made Yu Jiuer feel a little embarrassed, as if Prince Jing's mansion was in great need of women.
Is the Emperor so impatient to send people to Prince Jing's Mansion?
How good is monogamy? Why does a man have to have three wives and four concubines to show his dignity?
Old Emperor, wait until the six female assassins catch Xiang Fei's adulterer, and then I'll let you experience how good it is to have many concubines.
However, what Yu Jiuer could not have expected was that the theme of today's flower-viewing banquet seemed to have gone a little off track.
A bunch of women surrounded Yu Jiuer and asked her all kinds of questions. They were not asking about Prince Jing, but about Yu Jiuer. Even the queen felt a little embarrassed.
"Concubine Yu, are you nervous when you enter the imperial examination room?"
"Concubine Yu, how are you preparing for the palace examination? Are you confident that you will pass it?"
"Concubine Yu, you are my idol. If you have time, can you sign my sleeve for me?"
......
Yu Jiuer wanted to cry but had no tears. She said, what flowers are there to appreciate in January? These women have no flowers to appreciate, so they come to appreciate her?
She ran away to avoid them, but the women kept chasing her.
Someone chased after her and shouted, "Concubine Yu, please choose me to be the concubine of Prince Jing! I swear, I will never compete with you for your favor. I just want to be close to you and learn more from you, so that I can pass the exam and bring honor to our family!"
Some even shamelessly said to her: "Concubine Yu, choose me! I have a big butt and can give birth. You are so focused on studying that you don't have time to give birth to a child. I will help you give birth!"
Yu Jiuer felt like there were black lines on her head.
How does it make it seem like she's going to take a concubine and have a child?
She is not a man, she doesn't know what you are talking about!
Turning around, a woman who looked at me with pity cried to her: "I am a concubine's daughter, I have no status at home, and I am often bullied. Concubine Yu, you are a learned scholar with a broad mind. I am lucky to be by your side. Please be kind and choose me to help me escape from the sea of suffering!"
Oh my god! Yu Jiuer had a splitting headache and turned around to run forward desperately, as if there were hungry wolves and tigers behind her.
When did she become more popular with these women than Jun Mo?
She said that people should not be too famous, because being too famous would be a burden!
Shang Buqun, she also suffers from gynophobia!
Help! ......
Finally, in order to deal with the old emperor, Yu Jiuer randomly selected three women who seemed easier to control, and the matter was resolved!
After all, she will have to pass the palace examination. Things will work out when the time comes. Let her finish the exam first!
In the days that followed, Yu Jiuer could finally read peacefully, and Jun Mo would explain some of the palace examination questions to Yu Jiuer every night when he came back.
Not to mention, Jun Mo's knowledge is even better than those top scholars.
He is worthy of being the man she likes. If such a man becomes emperor, it will definitely benefit all people.
In a blink of an eye, it is the end of January.
Over the past two months since the killers returned to their business, Yu Jiuer has been able to receive good news from branches in various places.
They all regarded the profits of the capital as their goal.
Among the 110 branches, 30 have achieved the goal of achieving profits close to that of the capital, and 35 branches are doing even more prosperous business than the capital.
There are still forty-five branches working hard to get closer to the target.
But generally speaking, none of the 110 branches made a loss. Even in the branch with the lowest dividend in January, each employee could get a dividend of 900 wen. Their letters were still full of joy and passion.
This shows that the business that Yu Jiuer taught them has been successfully recognized by many killers of the Black Wind Society.
Yu Jiuer said to Jun Mo happily: "It seems that after the palace examination, we can go to Tianshan to hold a celebration banquet!"
Jun Mo pouted his lips with a proud smile, and hugged Yu Jiuer into his arms: "I know you can do it! How about setting the celebration banquet on April 8th?"
"Some of the branches are far away. It will take at least two months to get to Tianshan. April 8th is perfect! By then, the palace examination will be over. I will definitely be among the top three and take over as county magistrate. I will hold a celebration banquet before returning to Yinshan!"
Having said this, Jun Mo suddenly hugged Yu Jiuer tighter, his tone full of reluctance: "Go back to the capital quickly after going through the formalities. There is another demon in the mansion, you have to come back to protect your husband!"
"Yes! I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Now that her son is here, she can’t bear to leave for too long!
Soon, Yu Jiuer faced the palace examination in February.
In the past few months, thanks to Jun Mo's suppression and restraint, all the small moves of the princes to prevent Yu Jiuer from taking the imperial examination were nipped in the bud.
Before entering the examination room.
Chief Leader Chen dragged his sick body to the entrance of the examination room and said to Yu Jiuer earnestly, "Girl! Do your best in the exam. If one of our Black Wind Club passes the exam, it will be a legend in the martial arts world! However, don't feel too burdened. Even if you fail, the Black Wind Club will still support you and will never waver!"
"Master Chen, please rest assured that Jiuer will live up to your expectations! You must take care of yourself. We can't be without you at the celebration banquet on April 8th!"
Yu Jiuer turned her head and looked at Liu Qingyun who was also there to escort her to the examination room, and asked, "Brother Qingyun, is that right?"
Liu Qingyun glanced away and puffed her cheeks and said, "Why are you asking me? Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. Some people do a lot of bad things, and if God wants to punish them, what can we do?"
"Are you still being stubborn? Just wait, I'll deal with you after I finish the exam!" Yu Jiuer kicked him on the foot.
She could see from his eyes that he was worried about Chief Leader Chen, so why couldn't he save his face?
If it wasn't for the purpose of seeing Chief Leader Chen, would he have gotten up so early in the morning to send her to the examination room?
Does she believe him?
And the fact that Chief Leader Chen came here despite being ill must mean he has other intentions.
What is this father and son fighting about?
At this time, Prime Minister Rong, Military Advisor Rong and Princess Qingrou, who was pregnant, walked towards her together.
After Prime Minister Rong gave some instructions, Yu Jiuer nodded repeatedly.
Military Advisor Rong knew Yu Jiuer's identity and simply said to her, "Just perform normally!"
Princess Qingrou pulled Yu Jiuer aside and whispered, "Since Rong Waner was divorced and returned home, she has been howling like a ghost every day.
This time she is so ruthless that she is using all the dowry she has returned to bet on you failing the exam. I am using all my wealth to bet on you passing the exam, so you must strive to be great!"
Yu Jiuer's eyes lit up instantly when she heard that, and she immediately reached into her arms reflexively: "Why did you just tell me about this? She framed me at the hunting ground, and I haven't had time to settle the score with her yet! This time she came to my door, I must make her lose everything, even her pants... Oh no! I have to go into the examination room penniless."
Yu Jiuer looked around, met Jun Mo's eyes, and quickly looked away.
Jun Mo must not know about this. He is too pedantic and serious. He feels deeply guilty about Rong Wan'er's father and will definitely not let her do anything reckless.
At this time, Yutao and the female teachers from Lishan Academy hurried over.
Yu Tao ran over and shouted, "Jiu'er, luckily we made it in time! We went up the mountain to pray for you before dawn and got a talisman for you. Come and put it on, and we will win the battle!"
Yu Jiuer raised her hand to refuse: "You are not allowed to wear these in the examination room, and you know I don't believe in these things. I appreciate your kindness! You came at the right time. You can take all the cash in Linglong Pavilion to the Prime Minister's Mansion and bet with Rong Waner!
She bet on me failing the exam, if you bet more, can't you kill her?"
After the other female gentlemen found out, they all expressed their desire to go back and get the money to place bets to help Yu Jiuer vent her anger!
Xie Shier's voice trembled as she said, "You, you, you must get into the top three!"
Yu Jiuer joked, "Why did you become a stutterer? Are you worried about the money and afraid of losing?"
Xie Shier stamped her feet and said, "You know clearly that it's not true. I'm just nervous about your exam! Feel my heart, it feels like it's about to jump out. I feel like even my breathing is messed up. I'm so nervous!"
Yu Tao chuckled: "You are useless! You are not the only one who can be so nervous when taking an exam. If you were to take the exam, would you be able to enter the exam room alive?"
"Don't talk about her! I feel like my legs are weak from nervousness!" Xiao Qingqing's voice came.
Yun Mei Niang covered her mouth and teased her: "How can your legs be weak? They are clearly shaking, okay? I can feel your feet vibrating violently through your skirt!"
"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere was immediately relieved a lot.
The protagonist, Yu Jiuer, seemed as if nothing had happened, with a calm face and a composed demeanor.
