    When King Jing Zhao Hai was about to speak, someone at the door shouted: "Your Majesty, Liu Tong wants to see your Majesty."

    Zhao Hai said: "Come in." Then he heard the sound of the door and the sound of footsteps approaching. In a short time, a middle-aged man opened the curtain and walked in. This man looked like a shrewd businessman by his appearance and clothes. It turned out that this man was  The boss of Liu Kum Kee.

    As soon as Fang Jinshi saw Liu Tong here, he knew that he was following the path of King Jing and Zhao He. He wanted to get around in the capital and sell the very profitable golden pheasant. Of course, he couldn't do it without some tricks.

    Liu Tong suddenly saw a stranger in King Jing's room, and couldn't help being slightly surprised. He saluted Zhao Hai and said, "I have met the prince."

    Zhao Hai picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip before asking: "Has the matter been cleared up?"

    Liu Tong said "Oh", but did not reply. He subconsciously glanced at Fang Jinshi. Naturally, because a stranger was present, he couldn't speak directly. Zhao Hai said: "Speak, he doesn't take it seriously."

    Liu Tong then cleared his throat and said: "According to the information I got, this Guo Jing was a rogue Taoist who was eating and drinking around a few days ago. Suddenly he got magical powers out of nowhere. Some people said that he was entrusted by Zhang Tianshi in a dream at night to travel to the immortal world.  He went to Longhu Mountain to teach his magic, and then he became powerful."

    Zhao Hai nodded and said: "Even Zhang Tianshi moved out."

    Liu Tong continued: "Zhang Tianshi's teachings and other things can only deceive the old, weak, women and Confucians. In fact, this Guo Jing has a strong backing. All these tricks are done by this person. I was in the room a few days ago."  The people in the market who were making noises and watching in front of the store were all bribed by this person to commit fraud."

    Zhao Hai didn't say anything, so Liu Tong continued: "This man's surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Zongbi. I have never heard of this man before, and I don't know when he arrived in the capital. I spent a lot of money to get the news. It turns out that this man  It¡¯s not my surname from the Song Dynasty at all, but a Jurchen who came from the Jin Kingdom with the envoy. The Jurchen¡¯s name is Wanyan Wushu, and it is said that he is some kind of prince from the Jin Kingdom.¡±

    Before Zhao Hai could speak, Fang Jinshi answered first: "He is the fourth prince of the Emperor of Jin. I didn't expect it to be him."

    He said this nonsense, and Zhao Hai asked in turn: "Do you recognize this person?" Fang Jinshi replied: "I have met him twice before, but I only found out his identity today."

    Zhao Hai muttered: "He is a Jurchen, and he comes to support a rogue Taoist. I don't know what his intentions are. However, a rogue like Guo Jing can't achieve anything."

    When Fang Jinshi heard that he actually looked down on Guo Jing and Wanyan Wushu, he not only shook his head, but Zhao Hai saw it and said: "If it was before, Yin She would handle this matter, but now I don't even have anyone around me who can handle it."  No one is involved, they are all gone."

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "ThenI'll write a letter right away asking her to come here and help the prince."

    Zhao Hai said: "She is far away in Shaanzhou now. There is no point in talking. Whatever, I will leave this matter to you and let you handle it." Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment and showed a stunned expression. Zhao Hai frowned and said:  "Why, aren't you willing? Why don't you do a few things for me to make up for it? Let's see what I do with you."

    Fang Jinshi hurriedly smiled and said: "I don't dare, but how should the prince handle it properly?" Zhao Hai said coldly with a straight face: "Do you still need me to say this? You can figure it out yourself."

    He was so unclear that Fang Jinshi was a little confused. Just when he was thinking about whether to say anything more to ask, Zhao Hai closed his eyes and said, "I'm tired, you guys go down."

    Liu Tong saluted Zhao Hai, turned around and walked out. Fang Jinshi had no choice but to follow him down the stairs.  Before this, Fang Jinshi had always had a worry in his heart, which was how to explain to King Jing Zhao Hai, what if Zhao Hai sent someone to find him to cause trouble. Zhao Ziping's treatment of him before had always made him feel uneasy. Now Zhao Hai  It seems that there is no intention to pursue the past matters, and the matter seems to have been resolved.

    But today, Zhao Hai suddenly asked him to do such a thing, which made Fang Jinshi feel that he had no idea what to do. Liang Cuirong was not around now, and he couldn't ask how he handled it before. On such a matter, Fang Jinshi felt that he really had his heart.  There is nothing he can do, and his abilities are not as good as this woman.

    So now he really wants Liang Cuirong to come to Kaifeng, he really misses her.

    He went down the stairs. Liu Tong was waiting for him downstairs. As soon as he saw him coming down, he came up to him and said with a smile: "Master Fang, are you going to have a drink?"

    Liu Tong seemed to be a very shrewd person at first glance. He came downstairs first, and immediately used this short time to ask the big man guarding the door downstairs about Fang Jinshi's name and basic information. After Fang Jinshi slowly walked downstairs,  When I came upstairs, I proposed to drink together.

    Fang Jinshi was also about to ask him about some information. He hadn't eaten yet and was very hungry, so he agreed. He got on Liu Tong's carriage and came all the way down to find a wealthy family.??'s big restaurant.

    Fang Jinshi saw that the signboard of this restaurant was called "Doujinlou", which means "Dajindoujin". Liu Tong should be a regular customer here. He took Fang Jinshi into the private room, and the waiter came over to greet him.  Liu Tong said: "Waiter, serve all the signature dishes in your shop first, and then we'll talk about it later."

    The waiter immediately showed a troubled look and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu. Today, several of the top chefs in the shop have gone to take the test. The rest may not be able to cook as well as before."

    Liu Tong asked curiously: "Could it be that all the great chefs in your restaurant are scholars? This is quite rare."

    The waiter said: "That's not true, because this is the year of the competition, and all the major restaurants in Bianliang City have also joined forces to hold a cooking competition to compete for the top spot, so as to win more customers."

    Liu Tong smiled and said: "This is quite new. Even a cook can compete with a top scholar."

    The waiter said with a smile: "It's not just cooks. Nowadays, all walks of life in Bianliang City use this style of competition to compete. Carpenters, blacksmiths, punters, and tofu makers all have competitions. However,  The most lively business, apart from the examinations for imperial examinations, is the show-stopping competition between oirans and oirans in all major palaces."

    Liu Tong has been busy with business and basically doesn't care about these things. If the golden pheasant in the store hadn't died suddenly, he might have followed the trend and held a cockfighting competition, but now he has no such thoughts.

    Fang Jinshi and Liu Tong had a casual meal at Dou Jinlou. Liu Tong was too shrewd, and it was difficult for Fang Jinshi to find out what he said. He didn't like to deal with people like Liu Tong.

    Therefore, although the meal was lively and polite on the surface, it actually did not bring the two people closer together. After the meal, they bid farewell to Liu Tong and returned to Jinxianzhuang branch.

    As soon as he entered, Deng An came up to him and said, "Sir, where have you been? I can't find you anywhere." Fang Jinshi asked, "What's the emergency?" Deng An said, "It's not a matter of building the house in the west of the city.  Shopkeeper Shi Da has already paid Xiao Yongming the money, and now he is looking for someone to repair the house, and you don¡¯t want to go and take a look."

    Fang Jinshi secretly complained that he was rude. Shi Quan was buying a house for himself, but he didn't bother to ask about it. It was really unjustifiable. Fang Jinshi hurried to the house in the west of the city, and Shi Quan was instructing people to clear the weeds and clean the courtyard.

    Fang Jinshi walked up to Shi Quan and called him brother. When Shi Quan saw him coming, he smiled and said, "You came just in time. I was just going to discuss with you how to put some big stone tables in this courtyard.  What do you think of drinking here?"

    Fang Jinshi said, "My eldest brother is the one who makes the decision." Shi Quan said, "This is your home, how can I make the decision? I feel more at ease when I can watch you get married and start a business."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Just talking about me, eldest brother should start a family and find a wife. I think Miss Feng is really good. Why don't eldest brother" Shi Quan said hurriedly: "Brother, I have my own rules for things.  It won't be long before the assassin's wife returns, let's wait for a while and let the bad luck pass."

    Since he said that, Fang Jinshi had nothing to say. Shi Quan looked at the house again and said: "This place is so big, it would be better to build more houses." Fang Jinshi said: "It's better not to build it, especially  Brother, please don¡¯t change the vestibule and facade, I like it this way.¡±

    Shi Quan thought for a moment and said, "It's up to you."

    On that day, Shi Quan hired carpenters and plasterers to repair the wood and soil in the big house where Di Qing lived. He rebuilt the walls and three houses. He also bought flowers and trees to plant, and finally built the house into a decent one.

    At this time, in the Great Song Dynasty Hall, the serious palace examination finally came to an end. The extremely talented King Yun Zhao Kai handed in the paper after writing three essays before noon. He was indeed talented. Maybe it was the person who evaluated the papers in the court.  A keen eye knows that it was King Yun who did it. No one can explain this clearly. In short, Zhao Kai finally won the first place as the number one scholar.

    Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was overjoyed when he heard that Zhang Bangchang, the young prime minister, reported that his son Zhao Kai had won the top prize. Although he did not like his son too much, Zhao Kai still made him extremely happy because he had won the top prize in high school.  .

    But Song Huizong was worried about others gossiping, so he proposed the second-placed Wang Ang as the number one scholar.

    Zhao Kai was so proud that he became the "Three Tripods" with the highest status in the imperial examination in Chinese history.

    On the one hand, Fang Jinshi went to see the progress of the renovation of the house, and on the other hand, he officially went to live with Zhao Ding, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture. The little information he got from Gao Chong satisfied Zhao Ding and Qin Hui.  .

    Gao Chong finally went to the palace of Prince Xu Zhao Di to specialize in Cuju. Prince Wang and Sun Gong nominated him, so he couldn't help but not go. Going to Prince Xu's Palace was considered a high achievement. In the Song Dynasty, especially after Gao Qiu, it was already a line for him to play Cuju in the palace of Prince Wang and Sun.  Getting promoted and making a fortuneIf you don't pay attention, you may be able to rise to the top like Gao Qiu.

    Fang Jinshi¡¯s house was finally almost completed. On this day, Xiao Yongming came over to check it out. The other party Jinshi said: ¡°This house will be completed soon. When the house is officially moved, my wine will be indispensable.¡±

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "How could I miss you?" Xiao Yongming said: "Tonight there are fireworks in Bianliang City, there are beauty contests in the palaces and tiles, and the oirans compete in the squares, and the flying general lights the ink in person, how about we go and watch it together?"

    Fang Jin Shi Qi asked: "What kind of person is the Flying General? Is it difficult to win the title of oiran and have to be named by the general of the imperial court?"

    Xiao Yongming laughed and said: "You don't even know about the Flying General. You have spent so many days in Bianliang City in vain. You will find out if you go and take a look tonight."

    As Fang Jinshi knew, the names of famous actors who won the title of oiran in the Land of Ten Miles of Fireworks were circled with red pen to show that they were named leaders. However, vermilion is a bit disrespectful, so it is usually changed to purple dye pen.  , it also seems to have a bit of the "red and purple" flavor of later generations.
