…

Beijing.

Ruyifang is not a building, but a courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard opens in the bustling west district of the outer city, and inside are several lofts connected to each other, each with a different nickname.

The most famous among them is the ‘Jade Tower’.

Three carriages stopped at the entrance of Ruyifang.

Cai Wenji and Liang Waner held hands and got off the third carriage.

Jiang Chaoge and Tang Jiezhi got off the first carriage.

Tang Jiezhi was the "owner" this time, so he naturally took the first carriage.

Originally, Jiang Chaoge was planning to take the second carriage with Liu Hongyi, but Tang Jiezhi insisted on inviting him to get on the first carriage. Li Zeguang also postponed and refused to get on, so he had no choice but to do so.

Got off the carriage.

Jiang Chaoge saw the tall plaque on the gate of Ruyifang courtyard.

"Is the courtyard of Ruyifang so grand?" Jiang Chaoge sighed.

"Haha, Brother Jiang doesn't know something. The jade building in front is really magnificent." Tang Jiezhi introduced to Jiang Chaoge: "After the reception banquet, I will take Brother Jiang to take a look at it in the evening."

"Okay, thank you Brother Tang."

"Brother Jiang, you're welcome. I've already arranged a place to stay. The 'Xianting Zhai' inside is where you can see a lot of beautiful scenery. Especially after nightfall, you can have a panoramic view of the beauty of the capital."

"Brother Tang is elegant."

Jiang Chaoge nodded, and just as he was about to go in, he suddenly felt that the street directly opposite seemed a little lively, and it seemed that there were a lot of literati coming and going.

So, out of curiosity, I asked: "What's the street across from this?"

"Huangse Street." Li Zeguang found an opportunity to interject.

"What a name!" Jiang Chaoge praised.

Liang Wan'er, on the other hand, was a little confused: "The name of this street...is there anything good about it?"

Cai Wenji just covered her mouth and smiled softly.

Liu Hongyi ran over and said sincerely: "Ms. Liang, do you know what is in this street?"

"The brothel, and the Jiaofang Si are also among them." Liang Waner said casually: "I lived in the capital for some time when I was very young."

But it can be seen that she is very familiar with the capital.

Liu Hongyi stopped talking. He had always heard that the real power of the Liang family was in the capital. Now looking at Liang Wan'er's performance, it was true at all.

…

A group of people entered Ruyifang.

After walking a few steps, two scholars in white came over.

"Who is Jiang Jieyuan?"

"This is Jiang Jieyuan, the top candidate in the Huai'an County Provincial Examination!" Tang Jiezhi immediately pointed to Jiang Chaoge.

Jiang Chaoge was a little dazed because he didn't know the other person...

The most important thing is that these two scholars are not women? They are unlikely to be 'fairies from the capital', right?

Just as he was thinking about it, the two scholars introduced themselves.

"I am Cheng Yang, the candidate for the current rural examination in Linde County, Jieyuan. I heard that Jiang Jieyuan was appointed as a national scholar by the emperor, so I came here to send him a greeting card." One of the scholars handed over a greeting card.

Same goes for the other one.

Generally speaking, greeting cards will only be given when visiting someone's home.

However, Jiang Chaoge did not have a residence in the capital, so the two of them presented this greeting card in person, probably with the intention of showing respect.

Jiang Chaoge naturally didn't dare to neglect it and bent down to take it.

Good guy, there are two Jieyuan just like him!

"You two are polite, but I wonder if you have something to do with Jiang?" Jiang Chaoge asked.

"Jiang Jieyuan doesn't know yet?" Cheng Yang finished speaking and added: "Master issued a special recruitment code in Jixia Academy. Those who meet one of the following four points can participate in the assessment."

Cheng Yang began to explain to Jiang Chaoge.

1. Anyone who is on the national scholar list, regardless of whether he is a Jinshi or not, can take the exam.

Second, those who have achieved three realms or above, whether they are Confucianism, Taoism, Dharma, or Yin and Yang, can all be tested.

Third, the top candidates in this year's rural examination, regardless of their origins or family members, can take the examination.

Fourth, all members of the royal family can take the exam.

After saying that, he added: "Although we are fortunate to be able to participate in this special ceremony, we actually know in our hearts for whom Master set up the special ceremony this time. Therefore, I came here to express my gratitude to Jiang Jieyuan!"

"Show me your thanks?"

"Of course, if it weren't for Jiang Jieyuan's "River Management Theory" that became famous all over the world, how could Jixia Academy set this precedent?" Cheng Yang finished speaking and asked: "I wonder if Jiang Jieyuan has prepared the topic for this ceremony.

?”

"The topic of the ceremony?"

"Yes, Master has set up a test for you. Didn't Brother Jiang guess the test questions in advance?"

It turns out... that coming here to ask "examination questions" is the key point!

Jiang Chaoge finally understood.

In the rural examination in Huai'an County, He Jiang, in addition to being famous all over the world for his article "On River Management", he was actually also famous for guessing the topic of policy theory.

Jiang Chaoge stopped pretending and said with a smile: "Since it is a special recruitment ceremony set up by the master himself, it cannot be compared to previous years. Who can guess the test questions?"

Cheng Yang and the other person looked at each other, looking a little disappointed, but they still returned the greeting: "Jiang Jieyuan is absolutely right, but I'm sorry to bother you."

After that, he said a few more polite words.

Then left.

Jiang Chaoge continued walking forward.

However, before he took a few steps, he was stopped by several people.

"Excuse me, who is Jiang Jieyuan?"

"..."

After some questioning, the other party politely left again.

Another wave of people came to ask "examination questions".

Jiang Chaoge was a little speechless. Why did everyone think he could guess the question? Last time, he had a chance to guess right because he met the Young Emperor.

This time it’s the Master, and he has never seen the Master?

…

Next.

Jiang Chaoge met with several more waves of "talented scholars" who were preparing to take the exams at Jixia Academy.

There are those who are also Jie Yuan through rural exams, and there are also Confucianists and Legalists who are in the Three Realms...

Everyone's purpose is similar.

They are all here for exam questions.

"Jiang really doesn't know the test questions, so I hope you can forgive me." Jiang Chaoge could only keep postponing.

And he felt a little depressed in his heart.

He placed a "jiang fish" in Ruyifang. His original intention was to catch the "Fairy from Beijing", but what happened?

What was supposed to come didn't come, and everything that shouldn't come came.

What are you doing?

He mechanically prepared to put away the stickers in his hands.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw a note flying out of a greeting post.

There are a few beautiful little characters on it.

"In Xushi, I'll see you in the Jade Tower!"

Beijing Fairy!!!

Although the other party did not leave the name "Fairy of Jingcheng" on the pen, Jiang Chaoge was almost certain that this note was written by Fairy of Jingcheng.

When was it hidden in the post?

Why didn't I notice?
