    Inside Juxian Building.

    "The so-called dissection of pearls, the dissection is the analysis. Pearls Pearls are pearls? Pearls in the palm? Pearls? Dewdrops?"

    Jiang Ying said while stuffing a piece of stewed beef into his mouth: "The meat in the capital is better than other places."

    Zhao Changming only cared about the exam questions. Hearing that Jiang Ying couldn't say anything, he hurriedly interrupted: "Isn't what you said nonsense? Who doesn't know the two characters of "dissection?"

    Continue to correct: "This is a special Enke. It's an exam to select the talents of Jingwei Taolue. If you can't see through this level, go home and grow sweet potatoes."

    Jiang Ying feasted on it, and replied in his spare time: "It seems that Brother Zhao has a good idea. Jiang Ying is not talented, so he will listen carefully."

    "Didn't you bring dry food into the examination room, kid? Why do you look like a starving ghost?" Zhao Changming complained.

    Jiang Ying replied: "My family is poor, and I ate meat when I was young."

    Doesn't Zhao Changming know that his family is poor?  What he cared about was the exam questions, so he said again: "I heard that there is a noble concubine beside the Holy Majesty, known as Mrs. Yuzhu."

    Seeing Jiang Ying's reaction after speaking, who knows that he is really a reincarnation of a starving ghost, and still gobbled it up: "Oh, Mrs. Yuzhu."

    Zhao Changming thought to himself, success, the boy is trying to trick me, so he continued to throw jade and jade: "I also heard that on the Queen Mother's birthday last year, someone gave the Queen Mother a pearl the size of a thumb"

    Jiang Ying raised her eyes in surprise: "Brother Zhao is amazing, you know everything about the palace."

    "It's a rumor, it's a rumor." Zhao Changming changed the topic in embarrassment, "Also, the year before last, Sheng Shang visited Tsing Yi Island and praised it as a bright pearl in the East China Sea."

    "It seems to be the case." Jiang Ying nodded and continued to eat.

    Several times Jiang Ying didn't respond, Zhao Changming was not reconciled to seeing that he couldn't cheat: "Brother Jiang, what did you write? Quickly tell me the answer."

    At this time, in a new house in the east of the city, a young man in brocade clothes slowly entered the study: "Sincerely, there is news."

    In front of the book case was the young man who was at the same table with Rong An that day. Seeing the visitor, he asked, "Why are you? Where is Qingxian?"

    "Qing Xian went out today, and asked me to check on her behalf."

    The man frowned: "Speak."

    "The person you are looking for has been found. Right now, he is by the window in the east block on the second floor of Juxian Restaurant in the east of the city."

    Hearing that the man from Juxian Restaurant frowned, he raised his eyes: "Is the news correct?"

    The visitor replied affirmatively: "That's what the letter from the pigeon said."

    He was clearly lying, the note in his hand was already soaked by water, and only the devil knows what was written on it.

    The person before the case seemed to trust him very much, immediately put down his pen and got up: "Prepare the sedan chair and go to Juxian Restaurant."

    After the man disappeared into the yard, a girl in Tsing Yi cautiously poked her head out at the end of the corridor.

    The young man in Jin Yi rolled up the note and threw it to her: "He's gone, come out."

    The girl's face flushed, and she pinched a note to express her thanks: "Thank you sir for saving the siege."

    The young man enjoined: "It's not a big deal, so don't say thank you."

    The girl sighed: "I wouldn't have made such mistakes in the first place. Today, for some reason, I accidentally got wet with rain. I will pay attention to it in the future."

    The young man waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you. If I ask you, I will say that you don't know anything."

    The girl showed a grateful look.

    "I also heard that the former princess loved to grind pearls into powder and put them on her face. It is said that it has miraculous effects on beauty. The former prince bought a lot of pearls in the market for this reason, and the price of pearls in Beijing has risen for a while." Zhao Changming's side  Still guessing the word "bead".

    Jiang Ying almost finished the food, and asked doubtfully, "Brother Zhao, aren't you hungry?"

    Just as Zhao Changming remembered to stretch out his chopsticks, it was obvious that the table was in a mess and there was no meat left.  After detours for a long time, without gaining anything, he simply resorted to his trump card: "Brother Jiang, do you consider me a fellow villager?"

    Seeing that Zhao Changming was in a hurry, Jiang Ying said: "Brother Zhao, let me ask you where this is?"

    "Juxian Restaurant."

    "No, I said this piece of land, where are we now?"

    "Chaojing."

    "That's right, I'm here in the imperial capital, the imperial city at the foot of the emperor, and I even took part in the imperial examination."

    Zhao Changming frowned: "So what?"

    "I just want to tell Brother Zhao that since the magistrate failed to stop me from going to Beijing, he will naturally be unable to stop the following things. Brother Zhao doesn't have to think so hard about my future."

    Hearing this, Zhao Changming was taken aback.?He just smiled to resolve the embarrassment: "What are you talking about? I just care about my own future and I have the right answer with you. Who told you that you are a well-known talent, aren't you?"

    Jiang Ying didn't answer.

    "However, are you related to the prefect?"

    Jiang Ying put down her chopsticks and looked at Zhao Changming sympathetically: "Brother Zhao, you said you were young when did you become blind?"

    Anyone with eyes would guess that there is a grudge, right?

    Seeing that his expression was wrong, Zhao Changming immediately changed the subject: "I just asked casually, by the way, did you write about that thing in this exam?"

    "Which matter?" Seeing his fox tail protruding, Jiang Ying was about to step on it.

    "I follow the rules for the prince. The court clothes are equipped with six east beads, and the crown prince has eight. These beads" Zhao Changming carefully observed Rong An's expression. If Jiang Ying wrote this, it would undoubtedly cause trouble for his upper body.

    Who knows that Jiang Ying motioned him to come closer and whispered: "Oh, I really almost wrote it! It's not thanks to you, Brother Zhao, that I know that this topic is so sensitive when you report the storyteller. If I write it, I'm afraid  Imprisoned for the rest of my life!"

    Zhao Changming was taken aback for a moment, his face turning blue and white.

    "You really want to know what I wrote? Hey! It's not worth mentioning." Seeing Zhao Changming's face flushed unnaturally, he said again, "When I came here, I read the official documents saying that there is a vassal named Wuzhui  The country had civil strife a few years ago, but it has just settled down this year and replaced it with a new ruler, making it known to the world.¡±

    Zhao Changming was baffled by this topic, and couldn't help but wonder: "Could it be that Wuzhuo's civil strife is because of a pearl?"

    "In the third year of Tianwu, Wu, a subordinate country, reported that we found a treasure island rich in pearls on the South China Sea, and named it Pearl Island. After that, they rebelled against our dynasty, but they were suppressed in less than a year.  The civil strife that lasted for 20 years was only stabilized the year before last."

    "Is there such a thing?" Xu Jin was startled, "Pearl? Is this what you mean by dissecting the pearl?"

    "Chapter 32 of the Great Zhao Zhi, the fifth paragraph is written, if you don't believe me, go back and read it. By the way, it's even more coincidental. That paragraph was also mentioned in the library that day. You were eager to ask for a reward and didn't listen to it."  Jiang Ying did not forget to make up for it.

    "Hi! Why didn't I think of that!" Before Jiang Ying finished speaking, Zhao Changming stood up abruptly, hurriedly got up and went downstairs, "I'll go back and look."

    Zhao Changming left suddenly, and the bill has not been paid yet!

    The dishes on the table cost less than a tael of silver, Jiang Ying looked at the waiter who was watching from the side, and secretly touched the purse, the copper coins inside were almost polished off.

    He picked up the chopsticks again and fiddled with the leftovers slowly: "I haven't finished eating yet. Go and finish eating first, and I'll call you."

    Xiao Er has seen this kind of situation a lot, and replied with a smile: "You are distinguished guests, I will not go anywhere, and I will serve your table exclusively."

    "That's okay" Jiang Ying bit the bullet and took a sip of water. He didn't want to escape, but he was very uncomfortable being stared at.

    Just at this time, he suddenly pressed an ingot of five taels of silver on the corner of the table with one hand, and said to Xiao Er: "Go down."

    "Thank you, sir!" Xiao Er took the money and left respectfully.

    When Jiang Ying saw the person in front of him, he was overjoyed: "Grandpa, why is it you!" It was the young man who rescued him in the library that day.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
