Chapter 447: There Should Be No Stumbling Blocks

Before the imperial list.

The onlookers had three floors inside and three floors outside.

They stood on tiptoe to watch and kept pushing in.

Loud and hot discussion, lively and noisy.

The name of Liu Zhixia, the number one scholar, was passed down from two to two by the common people, and instantly became familiar to all the common people in the city.

"I heard that this number one scholar is a direct disciple of Mr. Yang, the great Confucian of the dynasty. His literary talent is outstanding, and he is deeply loved by Mr. Yang. Now he has lived up to expectations, and has been appointed as the number one scholar by the Holy Master."

"I've personally seen the current No. 1 scholar. He looks like a good-looking person who is gentle and polite. His background is not simple. Although he came from a poor family, he now lives in the Nanling Palace. It is said that he has a very close friendship with the Nanling King."

"Born from a poor family? His family owns the Xinghua Village Winery, which is famous throughout Nanling! It earns gold and silver mountains, and his sister is Liu Yusheng, the head of Ruyi County, a very famous doctor!"

"This kind of background is still called a poor family? The family is rich, has a sister who is a genius doctor, and may have a prince and sister-in-law in the future. Now that I have won the number one prize again, I have a bright future. Just wait and see, soon, he will become the best of the world. The son-in-law who rides the dragon and scrambles to snatch it from the high gates of the city."

The rise of common people's discussion, the voice is getting louder and louder.

In the corner of the crowd, a tall and slender woman stared at the imperial list.

His eyes fell on the words "Liu Zhixia" in the first row of the imperial list.

There was a gratifying smile on the corner of his mouth.

But there were tears in the eyes.

He got what he wanted, which is nice.

Such a smart person will definitely get better and better in the future.

His future will be bright.

There should be no stumbling blocks.

Reluctantly withdrawing her gaze, the woman walked away from the crowd slowly.

In this bustling and bustling scene, her back looks extremely thin, fragile and bleak.

Nanling Palace, not long after the imperial list was posted, the Liu family knew the news of Liu Zhixia's high school champion.

The family was very happy, Mrs. Liu and Chen Xiulan even bowed to the sky a few times, chanting Amitabha, God bless.

Listening to grandma and mother worshiping all the gods and Buddhas, Liu Yusheng pursed her lips and chuckled.

The eldest brother was able to get to this point not because of the blessings of gods and Buddhas, but because of his own hard work, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, steady progress, and thousands of times of hard work.

Among them, there is no lack of credit for the spiritual spring water.

It's just that in Liu Yusheng's view, no matter how miraculous the Lingquan water is, it is only a small auxiliary, an external force.

To achieve a goal, it depends on one's own ability and hard work.

So big brother deserves to be where he is today.

The whole family was excited, and while waiting for Liu Zhixia's return, invitations from various mansions were thrown at the mansion again.

Worse than the previous two days.

Even the leaders of some prefectures personally sent invitations to the door, sincerely in words, inviting the number one scholar to visit the mansion for a talk, which has a strong sense of friendship.

Mrs. Liu looked at the dozens of invitations that were thicker than before, and kept sighing, "When Zhixia comes back, if I go to all these invitations, how many days will it take to stop and rest? It's just entertainment I can exhaust myself to death. But there is no need to delay the engagement."

Liu Yusheng smiled and said, "We accepted the invitation, so we don't have to go to the banquet. Besides, these people post the invitation to make friends with the eldest brother, but the purpose behind their backs is not necessarily pure. I guess there are many people who are thinking about the eldest brother. Want him to be the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai."

Chen Xiulan immediately frowned, "How can I do that? Your eldest brother and Yuzheng are about to get engaged, so you can't let others get involved. Yuzheng has already suffered a loss for your elder brother, and your elder brother must take responsibility. If he dares to change his mind , half-hearted, I—"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Da took the words, "I will drive him out of the house! There are no men in our old Liu family who are heartless and ungrateful."

Mr. Liu was overjoyed, "Look at the two of you, we know Xia Neng is that kind of person? That's definitely not the case. Knowing Xia is with me. Once I recognize it, it will be for a lifetime, and I will definitely not be fooled."

Liu Yusheng leaned on Chen Xiulan's shoulders, the mother and daughter's eyes were bent into the same arc, and they looked at Mrs. Liu playfully, making Mrs. Liu feel uncomfortable.

The smelly old man said that, is he ashamed of his age?

Really old and not ashamed, but also give yourself a long face.

Smiling and making noise, time passed quietly.

Fu Yuzheng didn't come back during lunch, and the Liu family thought the shop was busy, so they didn't care.

As for Liu Zhixia, he can't come back either, I heard that after the palace examination, he will have a drink with the emperor, officials and officials in the palace.

It was already noon when I got up after lunch break, but I still didn't see anyone.

Mrs. Liu looked at the sky from time to time, but she didn't realize that the brows of her little granddaughter were slowly frowning.

"Could it be that the Yuzheng shop is so busy? You won't be back for lunch, and it's already noon. Don't tell me something happened in the shop?"

"Grandma, you guys stay at home. I'll go over and have a look. Maybe it's because the account reconciliation is too complicated, and it's not uncommon for me to fail to sort it out for a few hours." Liu Yusheng comforted her, but her heart sank.

After leaving the palace, he went straight to Jingzhong shop.

The heaviness she felt on Fu Yuzheng before gave her a bad premonition.

She knew the things that happened to Fu Yuzheng. She saw that when she was with her eldest brother, her relationship grew stronger and they got along naturally. She thought she had come out.

Not so now.

The cloth shop is located in the busiest part of Jingcheng Street. When Liu Yusheng entered the shop, he saw the shopkeeper counting the cloth behind the counter.

Seeing her coming, he came out to say hello, "Miss Liu, why are you here?"

"Shopkeeper, is Yuzheng in the shop?"

"Miss Fu? She came here once this morning and left after a short stay. Didn't she go back to the palace?"

As the prediction came true, Liu Yusheng's heart skipped a beat, "Did she say anything after she came?"

The shopkeeper also had a premonition that something was wrong, otherwise Ms. Liu's face would not be so ugly. After thinking for a while, she patted her forehead, "Look, I almost forgot. When the prince comes to look for it, I will hand over the brocade box to you."

After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper took out a large brocade box from the small wooden box locked behind the counter and handed it to Liu Yusheng.

"Didn't she leave any words?" Holding the little brocade box in her hand, Liu Yusheng felt heavy in her heart.

The shopkeeper shook his head, "I didn't say anything else, Ms. Liu, but what happened to Ms. Fu? When she came, her face was very pale and her expression was not very good. At that time, I thought it was because of Mr. Liu's imperial examination. Worry."

The shopkeeper knew a little about Fu Yuzheng and Liu Zhixia's affairs.

Liu Yusheng shook his head, didn't say anything more to the shopkeeper, got on the carriage back home, and opened the brocade box in the carriage.

It is the size of a palm, and there are not many things that can hold more. When you open it, there is only a letter and a piece of yellowed paper inside.

The paper is obviously a secret recipe for dyeing cloth, it must be the one handed down by the ancestors of the Yu family. Fu Yuzheng kept the secret recipe, and he must have made up his mind before leaving.
