Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 107 The sinister Zhu Yunwen! Zhu Gaochi was tricked!

Ye Mansion, garden.

The rockery, flowing water and pond are very beautiful.

Ye Xuan is sitting on a chair under the shade of a tree next to the pond, fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.

The breeze blows across the water from time to time, causing a layer of light ripples. There are floats made of feathers on the water, which are swaying slightly with the water.

Shen Rong sat aside, embroidering, chatting and laughing with Chun Chan, Qiu Yue and other maids.

There was laughter from time to time.

"Uncle."

"Let's try this lotus cake. Our lady specially asked the chef from her hometown to make it. This pastry is very famous in our hometown.'

Spring Chan came to Ye Xuan with a plate of delicate lotus cakes.

Lotus cake is like a blooming lotus, with "lotus leaves" layered in layers, and the outermost layer of "lotus leaves" is still pink, which is particularly delicate.

Ye Xuan tried a piece of lotus cake. It was crispy, slightly sweet, and had the fragrance of lotus seeds. It tasted very good.

"Uncle, how are you?"

"Is it delicious?"

Chun Chan asked with a smile.

Ye Xuan said honestly: "It tastes good."

Chun Chan's innocent and cute little face with baby fat showed a touch of pride and pride.

"Of course, this is a famous snack over there, and we brought the cook here specially from my hometown. The master knew that the young lady liked these pastries, so when he got married, he also brought the cook here.

Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking to herself, this little girl Chun Chan's thoughts are all on her face, it's really easy to understand.

"ah!"

"Uncle, the fish is hooked!"

Qiuyue sounded slightly anxious.

Ye Xuan looked at the float made of feathers on the water. Sure enough, the float kept being pulled into the water, rising and falling. It must be the fish pulling the food on the hook in the water.

He picked up the fishing rod on the ground and pulled hard. A fish with black scales on its back and silverier scales as it got closer to its abdomen was pulled out of the water.

The fins and tail were shaking in the air, and transparent water droplets were splashing, constantly falling to the surface of the pond.

"Took the bait!"

Shen Rong and the other girls said happily.

"Let's have sweet and sour fish for lunch today."

Ye Xuan suggested.

Sweet and sour fish originated from the Song Dynasty, and this dish is recorded in "Tokyo Menghualu".

This dish uses carp as the main ingredient. Use a knife to cut both sides of the fish into ridge patterns, then wrap it in flour and fry it in hot oil until thoroughly fried. Add appropriate seasonings such as minced ginger, balsamic vinegar, and sugar.

"That's great~"!"

“There’s something delicious again!!”

Chun Chan was as happy as a child.

Seeing this, Shen Rong and Qiu Yue couldn't help but smile.

Ye Xuan looked at the women and thought:

If the businessman's status was not too low, he would have wanted to resign.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is a black-hearted capitalist, and he catches him plundering and squeezing him all day long.

And with his business vision, there is such a big information gap compared to ancient times, so he feels that he can make money on his own.

Even if he doesn't have to make money.

The Shen family's money is enough for him to spend his whole life.

Of course, the idea of ​​not wanting to be an official is just a thought.

In this feudal ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty, the status of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants was the lowest in Chinese history. If he really became a businessman, he would probably become a lamb to be slaughtered.

If it was the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period.

Becoming a businessman is a good choice.

After all, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the merchant status of Chu State was ranked first.

Imperial Palace, Main Hall.

The sound of reading came from the school.

"Destiny is called nature, self-discipline is called Tao, and cultivating the Tao is called teaching..."

The teacher who teaches the emperor's grandchildren has a long beard and is reading aloud from "The Doctrine of the Mean".

"Do you know what this means?"

The lecturer looked down.

He specializes in teaching the Doctrine of the Mean.

The emperor's grandchildren yawned secretly, and when they saw the teacher's eyes sweeping down, they quickly sat upright, and then shook their heads.

They are thinking:

This teacher's teaching is too boring.

Far less interesting than Teacher Ye Xuan.

Why haven’t you seen Teacher Ye Xuan these days?

During this period of time, they have not seen Ye Xuan, nor have they attended Ye Xuan's class.

They were a little puzzled.

Why did Ye Xuan disappear for so long.

clang--!

clang--!

The bell rings.

"Take a rest!!"

"Let's go out and play!"

The group of little puddings, the grandsons of the emperor, immediately became excited when they heard the ringing of the bell, and rushed out one after another.

The teacher shook his head.

These royal grandsons are children after all, and children have serious hearts.

He didn't rebuke.

After all, the royal grandchildren are too young.

The little puddings did not leave directly after class as usual, but gathered beside the swing in the courtyard of the main hall and started talking.

"Why hasn't Teacher Ye Xuan come to teach us for so long?"

"Is the teacher sick?"

"It's possible, otherwise the teacher wouldn't have been away from teaching for so long.

"There is no point in making random guesses like this. Just ask someone to find out."

"Who are you looking for?"

The next moment, the little puddings focused on the eunuchs in the palace.

Their dogs were squatting in the corner furtively.

A eunuch passed by.

This group of little puddings jumped out immediately, surrounded the eunuch, and began to inquire about Ye Xuan.

Then, they learned about Ye Xuan's recent situation.

Ye Xuan is currently presiding over the examiner assessment.

After the examiner assessment was over, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Ye Xuan a few more days off.

Ye Xuan is currently taking a rest at home.

After asking, the little puddings let the eunuch go.

"It turns out that Teacher Ye Xuan is not sick, he is just too busy. That's great."

"I haven't seen Teacher Ye Xuan for a while. I miss him a little. How about you?"

"Me too."

"tb..."

"Why don't we leave the palace and meet Teacher Ye Xuan!"

A certain little pudding suggested.

They think Ye Xuan is special and it is fun to stay with Ye Xuan.

The classes in the main hall are extremely boring.

They still want Ye Xuan to teach them.

And they also really want to stay with Ye Xuan.

"."But we are still young and cannot leave the palace."

"Yes, Grandpa Huang will not allow it."

The little puddings said weakly.

At this time, Zhu Yunwen rolled his eyes, his gaze fell on Zhu Gaochi, and he came up with a bad idea and said:

"Gao Chi, why don't you ask Grandpa Huang if you can leave the palace?"

Zhu Gaochi showed retreat and fear.

"Grandpa Huang will definitely not agree.

"How will you know if you don't go?"

"What if Grandpa Huang agrees."

"This way we can meet Teacher Ye Xuan."

Zhu Yunwen was fooling his cousin who was one year younger than him.

Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

Royal study room.

Severe scolding sounds came from inside.

"Gao Chi, you are still young now. You should not play around all day long. You should read poetry and books and apply what you have learned so that you can achieve great things in the future!"

Not surprisingly, Zhu Yuanzhang sternly rejected Zhu Gaochi's request to leave the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on a chair and stared at Zhu Gaochi seriously.

Zhu Gaochi shrank his head and looked secretly in the direction of the door.

A bunch of little puddings are secretly hiding there.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced in the direction where Zhu Gaochi was looking and saw the group of little puddings.

He immediately knew that these little puddings wanted to leave the palace to see Ye Xuan.

A bunch of brats, they still want to go out of the womb?

I want to eat shit!

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.

It's so dangerous out there.

He couldn't let these children leave the palace.

outside the door.

"What should I do? Grandpa seems to disagree.

The little puddings looked anxious.

A certain little pudding suddenly said:

"There is another way!"

Zhu Xiongying was confused.

The other little puddings suddenly realized and looked at Zhu Xiongying.

Everyone knows that Grandpa Huang loves his eldest brother Zhu Xiongying very much. If he takes action, he might be able to persuade Grandpa Huang.

"Brother, it's up to you."

"If you want to leave the palace to see Teacher Ye Xuan, you have to persuade Grandpa Huang!"

These little puddings are full of expectations.

Looking at Zhu Xiongying eagerly.

Zhu Xiongying hesitated for a while and finally agreed.

Mainly, he also wanted to see Ye Xuan.

The classes taught by the great Confucians were really boring.
