Chapter 34 5. Yizhu told Jingzhu: You are going to be the second wife.

Yang Du returned to the Changjun Guild Hall, took out the worship bricks that Jingzhu had given him, and stared blankly. The past events of Jiangting's inscription fan and Tanzhe Temple's promise of love came to mind one after another.The past was so clear and warm, but now her soul has passed away, and heaven and man are separated forever. I will never see her beautiful face again, and I will never hear her laughter like a suckling swallow. Feeling aloud and weeping bitterly.He cried for most of the night, and fell asleep in a daze when it was dawn.When he woke up at noon, his mood had calmed down.Now that the person has passed away, it is useless to think about it and cry again. Jingzhu said when sending the bricks to worship, she must use the perseverance of Princess Miaoyan to make a career; only by remembering her words and making achievements is true. Best tribute to her.Thinking this way, Yang Du was determined to do well in this special subject test, and then go to Xishan to pay homage to Jingzhu's spirit in heaven when he was named on the gold list.

From then on, Yang Du never went out again, even Xia Shoutian rarely went there, he closed the door to thank guests, and really started to use his skills.Exam candidates from various provinces came to Beijing one after another, and everyone paid homage to each other, so as to communicate and make friends.Yang Duben liked to socialize very much, but because he was in a bad mood, he would not join in at all, and he would not see anyone who worshiped him.Only Song Yuren, a son of Sichuan Province, used to be a student of Zunjing Academy. Because he was also a disciple of Wang Kaiyun, he was his senior brother. When Song made a special trip to visit, he had to meet Song.So the next day, Liang Shiyi from Sanshui County, Guangdong invited Zhang Yilin from Wu County, Jiangsu to visit as well.Liang Shiyi, named Yifu and named Yansun, was born in a family of officials and businessmen, and was extremely smart and capable.He took the special examination as a Jinshi, and he was determined to win the special examination champion.Zhang Yilin, styled Zhongren and nicknamed Gongfu, was born in a scholarly family. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, and is famous for his talents in the Three Wus.Unexpectedly, Yang Du excused his illness to disappear, and Liang and Zhang were shut out, feeling unhappy.People from other provinces said that Yang Du had a weird personality, but he didn't care.

After Zhang Zhidong, the chief examiner, entered the capital in full swing, the atmosphere of the special examination suddenly became intense.For this exam, the imperial court sent eight ministers to mark the examination papers. In addition to Zhang Zhidong, the chief examiner, the other seven were: Yude, Xu Huifeng, Zhang Yinglin, Dai Hongci, Li Zhaowei, Zhang Renfu, and Xiying.These seven people are far inferior to Zhang Zhidong regardless of their subject names, qualifications, status, and reputation, so naturally everything follows his arrangements.On the night when Zhang Zhidong lived in Xianliang Temple, he went through the lists of sponsors recommended by the ministers of various ministries and temples and the governors, governors, academic officials and politicians of each province, and compared them with the lists that had already registered: there were three hundred and seventy-two sponsors However, there were only one hundred and ninety-one people who reported, just over half, and he was quite unhappy, but what comforted him a little was that Yang Du, Liang Shiyi, and Zhang Yilin all came.Yang Du met, and he was sure that he was a pillar of talent; Liang Shiyi and Zhang Yilin had never met, and it was not recommended by him, but when he heard their names earlier, the commentators said that they had real talents and learning, and he wanted to. Take this to test how talented they are.It was the first time since the Qing Dynasty that the special economic examination was conducted. The imperial court had no consensus on this examination, and entrusted Zhang Zhidong with full authority to handle everything.After reading the list, Zhang Zhidong made a secret decision in his heart: recruit as many scholars as possible, firstly, the country’s current situation is dangerous, and talents are urgently needed; secondly, the more people are admitted, the more people who are recommended to take the exam in Beijing will be. The more regretful he felt, he deliberately wanted to make those people regretful.Empress Dowager Cixi rewarded Zhang Zhidong with a visit to the Summer Palace before the main examination in order to show her courtesy to her ministers.

The Summer Palace is a garden built by Emperor Guangxu for the Empress Dowager Cixi at the expense of the navy.Outsiders are not allowed to visit the royal garden.With Li Hongzhang's great contributions and high status, he visited the Old Summer Palace burned down by the Eight-Power Allied Forces without permission, and was severely punished and fined for one year, which shows how courteous Cixi treated Zhang Zhidong. Zhang Zhidong had a smooth life, and he is even more proud of receiving such courteous reception at this time.On the day of visiting the garden, Li Lianying personally led a group of eunuchs who carried sedan chairs to wait by the gate.Zhang Zhidong looked down on the eunuch Li Lianying, knowing that he was Cixi's favorite slave, he was not particularly polite to him.The eight eunuchs took turns carrying Zhang Zhidong through the long corridor, to the Paiyun Palace, to the Longevity Hill, and to the Buddhist Incense Pavilion. Domineering, totally disregarding this group of servants.Before leaving, he threw three hundred taels of silver to Li Lianying and told him to reward the eunuchs.These eunuchs thought they could get three hundred and five hundred taels after being tired all day, but they didn't even have forty taels for one point, so they ran to Li Lianying one by one angrily to instigate: "Chief, what's the matter?" Zhang Zhidong is too arrogant. The servants carried the sedan chair all day, not to mention, and the chief executive also worked hard for him all day, and he only rewarded three hundred taels of silver. Back then, the chief executive had done so much for Zuohou. Just return him a missing hat, and he will give it back with three thousand taels of silver. Compared with Zuo Hou Ye, Zhang Zhidong is not worth mentioning, why does he look down on the chief executive like this!"

The stories told by the eunuchs were true. In the seventh year of Guangxu, Zuo Zongtang returned to Beijing from the front line of Xinjiang with a reputation, and had an audience with Empress Dowager Cixi.Zuo Zongtang looked at everything with contempt, and looked at the world with disdain, but it was the first time he paid his respects to Tianyan, and he was also terrified and sweating profusely.When he retreated, because of his nervousness, he actually left the hat with double eyes and feathers and a big red coral crown on the imperial table.This was a very disrespectful act, and Zuo Zongtang was quite anxious after going out.Li Lianying was quick-witted and hurried in to exchange tea for the Empress Dowager Cixi. Taking this opportunity, she took out the hat and delivered it to Zuo Zongtang's apartment in person overnight.Zuo was very grateful, and asked the staff around him how much Xie Yin would be appropriate.The staff held out three fingers, and Zuo ordered someone to hand out three hundred taels of silver.The staff said that it was not three hundred taels, but three thousand taels.Although Zuo Zongtang felt that it was too much, he still gave it to Li Lianying according to the number, and said a few words of gratitude to him. He was so happy that Li Lianying called Zuo Houye a great hero when he met everyone.For more than 20 years, no high-ranking official inside or outside has tried his best to please him, flatter him, and act according to his wink.Zhang Zhidong ignored him so much, Li Lianying was full of anger, but he couldn't get angry for a while, so he had to bear it for the time being.

Zhang Zhidong didn't know that he had offended the group of eunuchs and their supervisor.He held the grand Guimao Economic Special Examination in the Palace of Preservation and Harmony in the Forbidden City on the 16th of May, the stipulated date.The test for special economic subjects is simpler than the test for Jinshi.There are four Jinshi exams.The first general examination is for gongshi; the second re-examination for gongshi; those who pass the third palace examination will take part in the third palace examination. The results of the palace examination will determine the three grades of first, second and third grades, which will be awarded to Jinshi and second and third grades respectively. Those born in the same family as Jinshi are collectively referred to as Jinshi; in the fourth court examination for Jinshi, those who are excellent in writing and calligraphy are selected as Shujishi of the Imperial Academy, and the rest are distributed to various ministries as directors or county magistrates in various provinces.There are only two exams in the special economic department, the first one is the main one, which is called the normal course, and the first and second grades are tested, and the retest will be repeated five days later. As long as there are no major problems, the result of the normal course will be maintained.Therefore, all candidates for the exam take the first round very seriously.On the day of admission, five candidates suddenly fell ill, and only one hundred and eighty-six candidates actually took the exam.

After finding his seat number, Yang Du sat down and opened the sealed test paper, which contained two test questions.In one article, the title is: "Da Dai Li" "Bao" means to protect his body, "Fu" means Fu's virtue and righteousness, "teacher" means the lessons of guidance, and they are synonymous with physical education, moral education, and intellectual education in schools in modern countries.After seeing this topic, Yang Du was very happy. It is his strength to do this topic.For half a year at Kobun College in Japan, in addition to learning Japanese, he specialized in education in various countries, and studied sports, moral education, and intellectual education advocated by foreign countries.This paper can be written without thinking.

Let’s look at the question again: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made platinum coins, which were divided into three grades, each with a fixed value. Afterwards, platinum gradually became cheaper, and the money system was changed repeatedly, but it didn’t work out. What kind of neat strategy should be used?In the early Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu made many outstanding contributions to the prosperity of the economy, laying the foundation for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty. Wang Kaiyun, who took the national economy and people's livelihood as his own responsibility, conducted systematic and specialized research on the economy of the early Han Dynasty. These research results, He taught them all to his disciples, and Yang Du got the most of them.After half a year in Japan, I also dabbled in the economic strategies of eastern and western countries. Combining my husband's research results with my own new knowledge, I can make a strategy plan with more than 800 words, which is clear and inspiring.

Yang Du had already made up his mind, so he didn't need to think too much, so he wrote two articles, one theory and one policy, in respectful regular script, and it was not yet noon when he stopped writing.He looked around, and saw that everyone else was still coping nervously, or resting their cheeks on their hands, or scribbling quickly, but no one finished the book, and he was very happy.Seeing that it was still early, I read it again from the beginning to the end. I felt that every word was eloquent and eloquent, and it was like a cluster of flowers, dazzling people's eyes, and there was no need to change it.Yang Du was very proud, he put in a pen to close the paper, and a deacon came to collect his paper long ago.When he got up to leave his seat, he saw Zhang Zhidong, who was sitting on the chief examiner's seat, stroking his beard and smiling at him.Zhang Zhidong took Yang Du's test paper from the hand of the deacon official, and read it carefully.The discussion is vigorous and the analysis is precise. Although the wording is sometimes extreme, it is generally a rare work, but it is a pity that a word is wrong. It can be seen that the author is full of talent but also has the problem of impetuousness. Zhang Zhidong is deep. sorry for that.

There were less than 200 test papers, and eight people read them. It didn't take much time to mark the papers. By the evening of the next day, the rankings of first and second class were roughly out.For the overall ranking, Zhang Zhidong entrusted Yude, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he only ranked first among the top five.The same examiners came out with the first five test papers, and they discussed the strategies of Song Yuren, Li Xi, Liang Shiyi, Zhang Yilin and Yang Du.Zhang Zhidong compared them one by one: in terms of stability, Song Yuren should be ranked first; in terms of talent, Yang Du should be ranked first; in terms of sophistication, Li Xi should be ranked first; in terms of profundity, Liang Shiyi should be ranked first; Elegant, Zhang Yilin should be ranked first.Zhang Zhidong prefers Yang Du, and he wanted to put Yang Du first, but he made a typo, and it is inappropriate to put Yang Du first.Compared with each other, Liang Shiyi had to be ranked first, Yang Du was second, followed by Zhang Yilin, Song Yuren, and Li Xi.

On the third day, Zhang Zhidong will report to the emperor with forty-eight first-class Liang Shiyi and second-class Gui Mo from the China Economic Special Division, requesting a reexamination.Emperor Guangxu personally read the top five strategies, was very satisfied, and allowed a retest.On the early morning of the 20th, Zhang Zhidong posted the list of the first- and second-class winners on the Zhengyangmen gate tower, and specially noted: It was ordered to retest on the 25th in the Palace of Preservation. When Yang Du saw this list, although he felt a little regretful that he didn't win the first place, but after all, he won the second place, and he was still very happy in his heart.More than a hundred candidates who passed the exam congratulated each other, and the people who saw the imperial list also spread the news everywhere. In less than an hour, the good news spread throughout the capital.Everyone compared the palace examination, and called Liang Shiyi the number one scholar, Yang Du the second place, and Zhang Yilin the Tanhua. Although they all knew that the system department could not be compared with the Jinshi examination, they were also happy to accept this honor, especially Liang Shiyi was overjoyed Victory, the guests were feasted at the Guangdong Guild Hall that day.Yang Du was also picked up by Xia Shoutian. In his apartment, several friends from Hunan gathered together to congratulate the new No. 2 man. Xia Shoutian raised his cup and said to everyone: "Let's toast Master Xiangqi together. He has been taught by the old man twice. In recent decades, no one can compare with him." Everyone agreed and raised their glasses together.Yang Du said with a smile: "You are the real No. 2, and I am the fake No. 2. Don't be fooled." Everyone said: "You are also the second in the list. In the past, the salary of erudite CI subjects was higher than that of Jinshi!" They forced him to drink this glass of wine, so Yang Du had to drink it.So next you toasted, I toasted, and made Yang Du drunk, he was very happy.It is impossible for Yang Du to think that there is another person in the capital who is even more excited than him at this time. This person is Jingzhu who Yimei said is dead but is not dead!She is dressing up meticulously, eagerly waiting for her husband who has been separated for five years. Jing Zhu is a woman with a tragic fate.She was born outside Changmen in Suzhou City. Her father, Lu Yuzhi, was a learned scholar with good character and knowledge.After being selected as a scholar at the age of eighteen, he failed to pass the three imperial examinations. While teaching Mongolian, he still did not give up and continued to study stereotyped essays.His wife, Zheng Shi, is beautiful and gentle.The couple had a daughter named Jingzhu.Jingzhu is smart and cute. Although the family's life is poor, they are also dear and loving.Unexpectedly, Zheng's second child was dystocia, and neither the mother nor the baby was saved.Lu Xiucai hugged her three-year-old daughter, crying to death.After his wife died, Lu Xiucai gave up the idea of ​​taking the exam again, and devoted himself to teaching and raising his daughter.When his daughter was five years old, he taught her to read; when she was eight years old, he taught her to recite "Three Hundred Tang Poems"; when she was ten years old, he taught her to read.The daughter is smart and eager to learn, and her father can learn it as soon as she teaches her.When Jingzhu was eleven years old, Lu Xiucai married the Gu family through some matchmaking.Unexpectedly, Lu Xiucai died of a sudden illness two years later.After Jingzhu lost her mother's love, she also lost her father's love, and she felt extremely sad.Gu Shi was young, couldn't stand loneliness, secretly had affairs with some dubious men, and was accidentally bumped into by Jingzhu once.Gu became angry from embarrassment and hated Jingzhu to death.So with Jingzhu on his back, he sold her to the madam of a brothel.Seeing that Jingzhu was beautiful, the old bustard sold it to Hengtang Courtyard in Beijing's Bada Hutong at three times the price.A pitiful little girl from the south of the Yangtze River was pushed into the unaccompanied fire pit of the capital. No matter how unwilling she was to resist, she had no choice but to accept her fate after crying for a few months. Fortunately, the old qin teacher who taught her to play the pipa is also from Suzhou.The poor man pities the poor man, the old qin master sympathizes with Jing Zhu, comforts Jing Zhu, regards her as his daughter, and teaches Jing Zhu the pipa skills he has practiced for more than 40 years.Under the influence of artistic beauty, the poor little girl gradually grew up and became a beautiful girl like a flower and a jade.At the age of sixteen, the old bustard accepted a thousand taels of silver, and a prodigal grandson raped her daughter.That night, the girl's tears could merge into a river! Since then, she has been reduced to the most despised fireworks girl.However, the girl who has been influenced by poetry and books since she was a child has a noble heart.She read "Pipa Xing", and wept for the fate of Xunyang girl; she also read the legend of the Tang Dynasty "The Legend of the Curly Beard Guest", and sighed for the wisdom of the red wind and dust to recognize the hero.At a young age, Jingzhu has set great ambitions. First, he must identify a hero who can be trusted for life among the people in the capital; second, he must try his best to accumulate a private house. One summer five years ago, it was the old qin master’s birthday. His apprentices—several sisters from Hengtang Courtyard raised money to celebrate his birthday. Everyone went to Jiangting to drink and enjoy the scenery.On this afternoon, Jingzhu met Yang Du and Xia Shoutian who wrote the inscription Jiangting.To be honest, in Jingzhu's opinion, both of them wrote good words, and both men were handsome and handsome, but Xia Shoutian was the second place in the new division, and everyone surrounded him like a star, and Yang Du was hit by left out.Jingzhu, who came from the bitter water, has an instinct to sympathize with the weak. Driven by this feeling, she walked over to talk to Yang Du and asked him to write an inscription for her fan.After talking to each other face to face, the girl who had dealt with men a lot could tell from Yang Du's demeanor that this was a talented and affectionate man, and she liked him very much.After taking a few steps away, she couldn't help but look back at Yang Du, and found that Yang Du was also focusing on her.From Yang Du's innocent and passionate eyes, the girl further concluded that this strange young man could be dated and trusted, so she couldn't help asking him to meet at Tanzhe Temple. In fact, it is not honorable for Jingzhu to go to Tanzhe Temple.She was not going to burn incense and pray to Buddha, or to visit historical sites. She went there just to accompany a Nanyang businessman.This Nanyang businessman believed in Buddhism and was greedy for women.He "rented out" Jingzhu for a few days with double the money, and took Jingzhu to visit Tanzhe Temple.The businessman took out another two thousand taels of silver bill and gave it to the abbot, the great master, to buy the abode that had been downgraded from the palace.The abbot saw that he brought a beautiful young girl to live in the temple, although he thought it was inappropriate, but he agreed to let them stay for three days because of the large bank note. On the day when Yang Du came to Mount Baozhu, Jing Zhu accompanied the businessman to live in the monastery, so Yang Du searched all the inns outside the temple but couldn't find her.On the day agreed to meet Yang Du, Jing Zhu lied that she was ill and could not play with the businessman.The businessman didn't force her, and he stopped playing. Instead, he talked about Buddhism with the abbot, so Jing Zhu was able to use the sound of the pipa to invite Yang Du into the bamboo forest, and he went on a tour of the temple together.During the tour, Yang Du's suave demeanor, extensive knowledge, and sincere personality won the girl's heart again.The sincere gratitude he showed after taking the small brick corner she gave and the solemn attitude when he swore to the Buddha moved the girl deeply and she shed tears.In the short seventeen or eighteen years since Jingzhu was born in the world, since her mother passed away, she has shed countless tears, all of which were tears of bitterness and pain. On this day, she shed tears of happiness for the first time.She is glad that she met a good man, a real man.At that moment, she decided to marry him!In the game of Yixuanting Liushuiyu goblet, Yang Du wrapped four small flowers in paper to decide the future relationship between them. But it was this sincerity that made her feel deeply grateful; and it was this sincerity that made her suddenly realize that she was not worthy to be his wife.Who are you?She is a lowly prostitute who is played with and bullied by others, how can she be a good match for him!Forget it, hurry up and end this ridiculous love that shouldn't exist, and tell him nothing, so that he will always keep a good memory in his heart.Then she thought again, since he loves me so deeply, he shouldn't dislike me, so why not test him out?Even if you ask him if he has a wife at home.Jingzhu's mind was full of different thoughts.She couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she had to ask Yang Du to talk again tomorrow. That night, the businessman fell asleep after tossing her for a while, while Jing Zhu didn't close his eyes all night.She deliberated over whether to see her tomorrow or not.I don't see, maybe the real lover will miss, and I will regret it for the rest of my life; thinking of Yang Du's pain when he couldn't see her, I also feel uncomfortable.See, maybe once he learns the truth, he will wake up from a dream, abandon himself, and he will be even more distraught, regretting it more than not seeing him.After thinking about it until dawn, Jing Zhu still hadn't made a final decision.After a while the businessman got up and told her to leave Tanzhe Temple and return to the city immediately.Jing Zhu was taken aback, isn't there one more day, why leave early?The businessman said that he thought there were eminent monks here, but the monks here are all muddled, which is really boring.The businessman's sudden change of mind made Jingzhu no longer have room to think about seeing Yang Du, and she thought it was probably God's will.So she left the note to Yang Du.But there was still a thought in her heart: if this Yang Xizi was really an infatuated man, he might still find her in the city. After Jingzhu returned to the city, she had been longing for Yang Du to come to her, but she didn't know that Yang Du had already left Beijing and returned to Hunan.Jingzhu couldn't see Yang Du, and felt pain again.She regretted that she didn't leave her address so that Yang Du could come to find her, which made her lover finally miss her chance.The figure of Yang Du always appears in Jingzhu's mind, his frankness and sincerity, the girl will never forget.She cursed herself over and over again.Sometimes, she also wanted to exclude Yang Du from her memory, trying to imagine that he was a fickle lover, like a mountain stream that tends to rise and fall easily.But even so, it was difficult for her to get rid of his figure in her mind. Over the years, Jingzhu has no happiness, only longing.She told the secret of her heart to a new little sister.This little sister is also from Suzhou, and her life experience is even more difficult than her.She doesn't even have the impression of her biological parents, she doesn't know her last name, and she doesn't have a serious name.Jingzhu took pity on her and named her Yizhu after his own name.Yizhu regards Jingzhu as her own sister, and often persuades her to stop thinking about Yang Xizi.There must be more than one person like Yang Xizi in the world, why bother to be so infatuated?Besides, Yang Xizi didn't come to look for it, so it can be seen that he is not a man in love.Yizhu tells her friend Danhua about Jingzhu again, and Danhua also persuades Jingzhu to forget about this relationship. Unexpectedly, after five years of separation, Yang Du, who had not heard from him, suddenly appeared in Bada Hutong, in front of Hengtang Courtyard.That afternoon, when Jing Zhu saw this unexpected scene through the curtain, she was stunned.She pointed to the man walking alone in the alley, and said to Yizhu, "He is Xizi." Yizhu immediately wanted to go downstairs to call him, but Jingzhu stopped him.Coming from the complex emotions of a girl with a deep love, Jing Zhu's heart at this time is more bitter than sweet, more resentment than love.She hates why Xizi didn't appear in front of her until today, what have he been doing all these years?What's more, she has doubts again, has he forgotten himself long ago, and came here to find other girls to have fun?She asked Yi Zhu to follow Yang Du from a distance to see what he was doing in Bada Hutong and where he lived. In the evening, Yizhu told her that Yang Du didn't come to visit prostitutes, he lived in the Changjun Guild Hall.Yizhu also found out that Yang Du came to Beijing this time to take the special economic examination.Jing Zhu was relieved to learn that Yang Du would not come to visit the kiln, but after five years, I don't know if his mind has changed.She discussed with Yi Zhu an idea, not to disturb him for now, and let Yi Zhu come forward to tell a lie after he finished the exam.Unexpectedly, on the day when the Town God's Temple Fair ended, Yang Du mistakenly thought that Yizhu was Jingzhu, so he found it by himself. On the second day after Yang Du left, Yi Zhu told Jing Zhu in detail about meeting Yang Du by chance.Jing Zhu shed tears of relief when she heard that Yang Du suddenly fainted when he learned that he was dead, and woke up and said that he would go to the grave to pay homage.This Dongting Hunan man is really a sincere lover.For such a man, it is worth dying for him!Regardless of whether he passed the exam or not, and whether he has a wife or not, the 23-year-old Jingzhu girl can no longer ruin her precious youth in the feasting and laughing scenes. She wants to marry a good man and marry her. Let's go to the banks of the Chu Mountain and Xiangshui River in the Furong Kingdom, where the autumn wind is thousands of miles away, and the Bamboo Hometown where the emperor's son's love tears are shed, and be an ordinary woman, washing and mending for her husband, and giving birth to children. In the past five years, relying on her beauty and excellent pipa, Jingzhu has amassed a private house of tens of thousands of taels of silver. She negotiated with Yizhu to redeem herself and leave the Hengtang courtyard. She cannot receive Xizi in this muddy water. Reunite with your sweetheart after a long absence in your own home.When Yi Zhu heard this, he knelt down in front of her and cried, "My good sister, please help me and redeem me too. I am willing to be your maidservant in this life, serving you and Mr. Yang for the rest of my life." In the next life, I will change into a cow and a horse to repay your kindness." Looking at this poor righteous sister, Jing Zhu's heart trembled.The old bustard had said long ago that she wanted to find someone who could afford a lot of money to break Yizhu's body, because she hadn't found such a person for a while, and Yizhu was still in the body of a girl.Such a delicate flower is about to be trampled and not given a helping hand, how can I bear it!It's just that things in the future can't be predicted. If she suffers or suffers, will she be able to bear it?Yizhu replied firmly: "Even begging along the street is better than here!" Jingzhu said to the old bustard that he would redeem himself with five thousand taels of silver, and redeem Yizhu with another thousand and five hundred taels of silver.It is a common thing for prostitutes to be good, and the madam can't interfere. Besides, they are willing to pay such a high price, and the madam readily agrees. The two sisters packed their luggage, bid farewell to the old luthier and the handkerchief sisters, and resolutely left Hengtang Yard.They rented three clean farmhouses at the foot of the West Mountain, furnished them temporarily, and lived in them. On this day, Yi Zhu came back from the city and told Jing Zhu a great happy event: the main field of the special economic department has been announced, and Yang Du high school is the first and second place. "Sister Jing, everyone says that the special subject exam is based on the actual course, and the re-examination is just for show. Mr. Yang became the No. 2 man, and you will become the No. 2 man's wife!" Yi Zhu congratulated Jing Zhu excitedly. Jing Zhu was overjoyed when he heard the news.She held Yizhu's hand tightly and kept saying, "Yimei, is what you said true? Really?" "Really, it's not fake at all! The list is posted outside Zhengyangmen, and it's said that there will be a retest on the 25th!" "That's good, that's good! I have long seen that Xizi is a promising person, he is really promising!" Jingzhu murmured, "Yimei, you are going to Changjun on the 25th. Wait for him at the gate of the guild hall, and when you see him come back from the retest, you will bring him here. You said that I am not dead, and I miss him every day!" "Okay, I'll go early in the morning on the 25th!" Yi Zhu happily agreed. Jingzhu began to dress up meticulously.Today, five years later, she is more mature, more charming, and more charming than when Tanzhe Temple made love.She wants to use the best makeup methods to dress herself up as a beauty more beautiful than Xishi and Zhaojun, so that Xizi will be obsessed and melted under her beautiful appearance. Unexpectedly, God did not fulfill her. A few days later, an unexpected disaster shattered the girl's poetic and picturesque yearning.
