The rich man surnamed Chen is Chen Yuan
He said, "I am not short of money."
People who have spent all their wealth are naturally not short of money, so what he is after is probably status.
Since ancient times, merchants have had a low status. Even if they are extremely rich, they are still excluded from the ranks of officials and nobles.
The initial merchants in the North Wing Country lived a very depressed life.
Even if they have plenty of money, the government clearly stipulates that merchants cannot live in big houses or travel in tall sedan chairs. They are not even allowed to wear silk clothes, let alone become officials, become marquises and become prime ministers.
The development of the North Wing Kingdom later improved slightly, and the government no longer regulated merchants' homes and carriages, nor did they restrict their clothing, which was considered a very preferential treatment. However, merchants were still unable to enter officialdom and were not eligible to participate in the imperial examination.
It was not until Emperor Mingde succeeded to the throne that he was thirsty for talents and relaxed the policy. Not only were merchants allowed to become officials and take part in the imperial examination, but they were also allowed to engage in business at home.
After the implementation of this measure, there were not many officials in the North Wing who were actually engaged in business. Because from the bottom of my heart I despise merchants and think it is a lowly industry.
But for merchants, this is an improvement in status. Although there are very few people who can actually pass the county and township examinations and go all the way to the palace examination.
Chen Yuan must have heard that the Hou Mansion was going to open a family academy, so he didn’t want any money because he wanted to hold a martial arts competition in May.
He needs a formal ethnic education to work hard to become famous before the martial arts competition. When the time comes, coupled with the reputation of the Chen family for squandering all their wealth, they will surely be favored by Emperor Mingde.
Chen Yuan's plan is quite good. Shi Anxia respects everyone who is willing to use legitimate means to fight for their future.
She thought leisurely, then why she was not allowed to go to Baoguo Temple
She couldn't help but ask, "Does Chen Yuan know Shi Anrou?"
Hong Que looked a little scared, "Ye Bao'er knocked down Miss An Rou that day and almost bit her to death. It was the head of the palace guard who stopped Ye Bao'er. The slaves were also present at that time, and Miss An Rou kept asking My maid, I don’t know how the Chief of Guards entered the Hou Mansion. Then one day, I saw Miss An Rou talking to the Chief of Guards and didn’t know what they said.”
Here, she paused, feeling very embarrassed.
Shi Anxia frowned slightly, "Why?"
Hong Que panicked, hurriedly squeezed Ye Baoer and knelt on the ground, with a sad face, "Fu The guard seems to have taken money from Miss An Rou."
Bei Hui glared, "Why didn't you tell the girl earlier?"
Hong Que was so anxious that she almost shed tears. "Because, because the captain of the palace guard rewarded the other palace guards with the money in front of Miss An Rou. At that moment, Miss An Rou was so angry that she almost cried. The slave girl thought, thinking about the girl's... She caught wind and cold, and her health was not good, so she didn’t report it."
Shi Anxia gently rubbed her head, "Okay, get up."
p>Bei An was so angry that he glared again, "Girl, you have to be aware of this if you spoil me."If you don’t report something when you see it, do you know how much trouble it will bring to the girl?"
Hong Que lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Bei Hui Continuing Education She said, “When we walk outside, we are the eyes and ears of a girl. If there is any difference, you have to report it to the girl. As for whether the information is useful, it is up to the girl to judge, not you. ”
Red Magpie replied calmly, “Yes, Sister Bei Hui.” Thanks to sister Bei Hui for the tip. "
Shi Anxia smiled warmly at Bei Hui, "She remembers it, don't scare her. "
Bei Hui glanced at the girl helplessly and turned his head to the other side. The girl has been very strange recently, and she is absolutely doting on the girls in the house.
Since the girl is willing to sing the red face, she has to sing the white face. Otherwise, these girls will lose their rules and go crazy.
Hong Que made a mistake and simply sat on the ground. Touching Ye Bao'er with one hand, holding the girl's calf with the other, he pressed his face against the girl's leg and murmured, "Girl, don't be angry, I know I was wrong. Next time if the slave sees it, he will definitely come and report it immediately. ”
Shi Anxia was wondering, could Chen Yuan be Shi Anrou’s helper?
To be honest, this person was hard for her to see through.
< p>Even the answer was in front of her. Chen Yuan prevented Shi Anrou from going to Baoguo Temple, but for some reason, she didn't feel any danger.Just like that day when she let him into the house. The palace guard didn't really want to take someone in when he saw him.
She just thought that he wouldn't harm her.
It's the same today. Go.
If Chen Yuan is really here for the May martial arts competition, she wouldn't mind giving him a push.
The carriage passed the Andu Bridge and arrived at the foot of the Baoguo Temple.
To go to Baoguo Temple, you have to walk up to ninety-nine steps to enter.
Bei Hui and Hong Que carefully helped the girl out of the carriage.
< p>Shi Anxia looked up at the end of the long stairs, Qing Lingling's eyes fell on the grand mountain gate.She came to break her fate
Even if it was the same as in her previous life. When she meets Prince Jin, she will not go back to her old ways as long as she sticks to her heart.
Escape has never been her style, so she doesn’t want to go to Dazu Temple.
“We are here. Wait for Miss Wei. "Shi Anxia had just finished speaking.
Hearing someone shout, "Avoid the arrival of His Royal Highness King Jin"
Everyone stepped aside.
Shi An Xia wanted to stand behind Shi Yun, but Chen Yuan and Ye Baoer were already standing behind him.
She thought for a while and then retreated behind Chen Yuan with the maids. /p>
In this way, Chen Yuan's tall body almost completely blocked her petite figure.
Shi Anxia lowered her head and watched Ye Baoer, who was lying aside, using her paws seriously. Plowing the snow.
She became playful and quietly bent down to pinch a small ball of snow in her hand.Bao'er didn't pay attention and hit it on the head with a swish, then pretended as if nothing had happened.
Ye Baoer made a splash, turned his head while his ears stood up, and locked eyes directly with her, with an aggrieved look as if he was asking, why did you hit me?
Shi An Xia Chui He tilted his head and smiled, his eyebrows arched, and he refused to acknowledge his fault.
She completely forgot to take a peek at King Jin's back, treating him like a passerby.
Even the phrase "His Royal Highness, King Jin, may you be blessed" was shouted in an extremely perfunctory manner.
When King Jin and his party walked away, she raised her head, and her clear and moist eyes happened to catch Chen Yuan's gaze, which turned to look at her.
Her smile froze and she returned to her usual calmness.
Just then the Wei family's carriage arrived.
Wei Yu stopped the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, saluting and smiling naively at Shi Anxia.
After the Wei Cailing sisters got out of the car, they exchanged joyful greetings and the group climbed up the stairs.
The ones walking in the front were Shi Yunqi and Wei Yuzhi.
Several girls walked in the middle, and finally Chen Yuan led Ye Baoer to the rear.
As soon as I walked into the mountain gate, I stood in the solemn courtyard covered with silver makeup, and several people hurriedly walked towards me.
The person in charge is a very bright-looking girl.
She has delicate facial features, is wearing a green coat and a white cloak, with her hair styled like a girl in a double bun, and there is a hint of impatience between her brows.
Shi Anxia remembered that he had seen this girl in Baoguo Temple in his previous life.
At that time, the girl seemed to be hiding from someone, so she ran behind the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, and happened to bump into her first encounter with His Highness King Jin.
Now the person is still the same person, but he appeared earlier.
A gentle-looking man chased out from behind, shouting, "Rong Yan"
