Chapter 180 Opening a Shop at the Border Between Two Countries!

Ji Chunyue and Ji Qiuyue borrowed 500 taels from Jingguo Money House, which was barely enough to open a milk tea shop, and then set off to return to Chu.

Before leaving, Ji Chunyue blushed and threw a jade pendant to Zheng Qiru, "Fool, we are willing to accept the loss!"

Zheng Qiru blushed and almost spoke incoherently, "I will write to you and you after I finish the imperial examination..."

"Who wants your letter?" Ji Chunyue felt hot behind her ears and quickly lowered the carriage curtain.

Ji Qiuyue and Xiaoyuan both covered their mouths and laughed.

Although Zheng Qiru had a flaw on his forehead, his facial features were regular and his conversation was elegant.

More importantly, he respected women.

"If the lady marries a man like this in the future, it would be good."

"Don't talk nonsense! Xiaoyuan, shut up!" The carriage left with the two sisters laughing.

In the palace, Xiao Yunzhou was rocking Xiao Chuchu's small rocking bed, frowning and thinking hard.

The two beauties of Chu went back.

With only 70% of the followers, the task of collecting elites has not been completed yet.

I don't know when I can completely conquer them in the future.

[Oh, isn't this a story about a talented scholar and a beautiful woman? ]

Xiao Chuchu was not worried at all, and was watching Zheng Qiru who was reluctant to say goodbye to the beauty in the live broadcast.

She glanced at the shy Ji Chunyue in the carriage and the worry in her eyes, and was amazed.

[I didn't expect that a man with an intelligence of 99 in Jingguo, who has never been married, would actually wait for the beauty of Chuguo! ]

[They are actually a little pink and bubbly~ a little good~]

[This idiot, why don't you recite a parting love poem now? ]

[Write a letter in the future... I miss her on the first day, I miss her on the second day, and I still miss her on the third day~ Hey, I will pay attention to them in the future. ]

Xiao Chuchu smiled like an auntie when she was clapping and clapping.

[However, Zheng Qiru has nothing. He is just a poor student now. His appearance is not good in the eyes of others. It is estimated that Ji Chunyue's grandfather, the Prime Minister of Chu, will not easily agree to this marriage. ]

Xiao Yunzhou was dumbfounded.

What is "kexipi"?

When did these two people meet?

Let the beauty of Chu marry to Jing, and he, the emperor of Jing, will be happy to see it happen.

It would be best if all the men in Chu were single, hahahaha.

Xiao Yunzhou couldn't close his mouth just thinking about it.

Let the King of Chu cry!

Let the men of Chu cry!

Who made them not have the fairy princess to remind them and not learn "equality between men and women"? !

Xiao Yunzhou was very happy when he thought about it, and asked the Ministry of Households to allocate funds to specifically support the women's school.

Not only learn needlework, but also learn literacy, rescue, suturing, business management, etc.

"Chan Niang, you should also gather the women in the harem and study together."

"In the future, those who do not perform well in the assessment and do not work will have their monthly allowance reduced."

Xiao Yunzhou said to Liu Chan Niang, "Let Minpin assist you, and the women in the harem should set an example."

"In this way, other men will also learn to be as open-minded as me!"

The great reform of the harem began.

No matter if you were the queen, the imperial concubine, the concubine or the palace maid before, from now on, you must learn and make progress!

The third prince and the fourth prince, the two who don't like to study the most, returned to their mother's palace and saw their mother reading and cursing with a headache. They couldn't help laughing and taught their mother a lesson.

"Empress Liu is doing this for your own good, mother." Even the fourth prince, who was the most aggressive on weekdays, who was not very friendly and respectful to his brothers and had no rules, felt that Concubine Liu was a good person at this moment.

He looked at his own mother, Concubine Li, and said, "Don't you always tell me to read more? There are principles for governing the world and ways to surpass my brother in books."

"Reading is good for me."

"So, mother, you should also listen to Concubine Liu. She is also doing this for your own good." The fourth prince said with a chuckle.

Concubine Li: "..."

She vomited half to death, "How can this be the same? She is just torturing me! I am not a prince!"

The fourth prince glared, "Mother, this is why you are ignorant. Concubine Liu is also giving you the opportunity to surpass the queen. You are not willing to cherish and make progress, so why are you scolding people?"

"???" Concubine Li felt tight in her chest.

These are the words she usually told her son to read.

Now it's all boomerangs!

Seeing his mother was silent, the fourth prince proudly taught her, "Today, my fifth brother said that there was a poor scholar who was very good in the imperial examination. It can be seen that studying a lot can change your family status."

"Empress Liu wants you to study and give you the opportunity to strive for your father's favor and surpass the queen. You can't just rely on your son. You don't use your brain and just talk!"

"I can't blame anyone for not being the crown prince. My mother and I are both responsible."

"..."

Concubine Li's eyes went dark.

How could she give birth to such a shameless thing?

Not to mention the emperor, she herself doesn't like it.

The fourth prince will be the emperor. He won't let her mother help him review memorials! ?

Concubine Li was upset, but she still had to study.

"Mother, please study faster. I heard that the women in the harem will take an exam every month. If you are the last, you will be worse than your son. If I do poorly in the exam in the future, please don't blame me."

"..."

For a while, the women in the harem were studying hard.

Those with children were urged to study by their children, and those without children had to rely on themselves in the future and study even more, thinking of earning a guarantee for the future.

Queen Tong gritted her teeth and studied hard day and night, just to suppress Concubine Liu one day!

Inside and outside the palace, there was a sound of reading.

Three days later, the candidates who were admitted to the joint examination took the palace examination. Xiao Yunzhou personally set questions for the examination and asked questions.

Wei Zheng held Xiao Chuchu and watched the excitement behind the curtain.

The curtain was made of southern pearls, and the middle was hollowed out with falling lines.

Behind the pearl curtain, there was a layer of gauze to block the candidates from looking at the little princess.

But Xiao Chuchu could vaguely see through the beaded curtain and fine gauze, and could see these blurry figures and the system dialog box that appeared on their foreheads.

As soon as she saw it, she was surprised, [Oh my god, my grandfather hasn't been to the palace for a long time, and his intelligence has risen to 91! ? ]

[Wow, it's higher than some of the tribute scholars below! ]

Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but exclaim in her heart.

Xiao Yunzhou stared, what?

Mr. Liu is so old, how can his intelligence and intelligence improve by leaps and bounds?

He looked at the gray-haired Liu Wenchang standing aside, and his envy was beyond words.

[It seems that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and traveling thousands of miles is not as good as meeting countless people. It is really true. ]

Xiao Chuchu nestled in Wei Zheng's arms and thought.

[My grandfather hasn't taken any panacea in the past six months, and the Ministry of Personnel is busy, so he doesn't have time to read too many books. ]

[It's nothing more than that he was in the Ministry of Personnel and came into contact with officials from various ministries and regions. ]

Xiao Chuchu pondered, [mostly because he had seen countless people, and the officials he met were all high-IQ and capable, so his intelligence was trained and improved. ]

[It seems that the intelligence assessment of the system is comprehensive, not only the ability to take exams, but also the ability to recognize people and do things, etc. ]

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes flickered as he listened.

"Your Majesty, all the undergraduates are here."

"The palace examination begins!"

Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly and nodded immediately.

[Zheng Qiru, intelligence 99. ]

[Li Chang, intelligence 97. ]

[Zhou Shuxin, intelligence 94. ]

...

[Lu Han...71. ]

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes flickered, and he quickly ranked the order of the first, second, and even the top, third, and second place.

"Grandfather, it's just a tea shop. What's the harm even if you learn from Jingguo?"

Ji Chunyue and Ji Qiuyue stood in the study of the head of the Ji family, the Prime Minister of Chu, and looked anxiously at the gray-haired old man in front of them, "What's there to be afraid of learning from Jingguo?"

"No! There's no need to talk about this! I allow you to travel, not to let you connect with Jingguo."

Ji Duan, the Prime Minister of Chu, did not allow any objection and was firm in his attitude.

"Chuguo can't learn from the small Jingguo!"

"You want to open a shop, grandfather will help you, you can open anything."

The sisters of the Ji family looked at each other and saw the sadness in each other's eyes.

Born in a big family, they have no worries about food and clothing, but they are also subject to the family.

They are usually favored by their grandfather, but when it comes to the critical moment, they have no freedom.

Ordinary Chu peddlers can travel between Jing and Chu to do business, but they can't.

"They have something better than us, why can't we learn? Grandfather, you are so pedantic!"

"Hmph, whether it's workers, peasants, soldiers or merchants, they are not as good as us, there's no need to mention this matter. If His Majesty knew, I'm afraid he would be unhappy with you."

The Ji sisters suddenly felt depressed. They had borrowed money from Jingguo's bank.

But their family disagreed.

Ji Chunyue pulled Ji Qiuyue who was still trying to fight for it, "Sister, let's go."

After returning to the room, she asked Xiaoyuan to open the package brought back by Jingguo, and then found the brocade bag given to them by Jingguo's Concubine Liu.

As soon as they opened it, they were stunned.

—— Branch location: the border between the two countries.

Ji sisters: "!"

Their eyes lit up.
