Chapter 220 Not good, there is a situation!
The palace examination of the Dadong Dynasty was first a three-day written test, and the top three were selected to enter the palace to meet the emperor, and then the emperor personally selected the top three!
There were still ten days before the written test. Yutao instructed the owner of Dongsheng Restaurant to prepare a nutritious health package for Zhang Yutang every day. Then she quickly joined Yu Jiuer and Zhang Qiaoer to select a site around the capital to build a winery.
But the three of them searched for several days and couldn't find a suitable place. Yu Jiuer was so worried that she couldn't even sleep.
After Jun Mo found out, he asked directly, "Why don't you build the winery on my grape farm! That farm is within the capital city, and it only takes half an hour to ride there. It's big enough!"
"Yes! I was only thinking about renting land, but forgot that my husband is a landlord. I actually went out to beg with a golden bowl in my hand, haha!" Yu Jiuer was so happy that she held Jun Mo's handsome face and gave him a kiss.
Jun Mo has two farms in the capital, one specializing in growing vegetables and fruits, and the other specializing in farming, raising horses and other livestock.
Before this, Jun Mo had taken her to inspect the industry. She knew that the grape farm grew a lot of grapes and other fruits, and the fruits and vegetables in the palace basically all came from that farm.
"That's great. By brewing wine there, I can not only make spirits, but also some wine, mulberry wine, plum wine and other fruit wines." The more Yu Jiuer thought about it, the more excited she became. With a backer, life would be smooth sailing!
Fruit wine had not yet appeared in the Dadong Dynasty. If she made it, it would definitely be an exclusive best-selling product.
That farm is so suitable!
The next day, Yu Jiuer couldn't wait to take Yu Tao and Zhang Qiaoer to see the venue.
After ten days of hard work, the winery finally took shape.
At the same time, they finally faced the written test of the Dadong Dynasty Palace Examination.
This link is crucial. As long as you can pass the top three, you will definitely pass the palace examination. After entering the palace to meet the emperor, even if you perform poorly, you can still win the title of Tanhua and bring honor to your family.
However, Zhang Yutang not only wanted to bring honor to his family, but also had to shoulder the hopes of everyone in Yinshan. He told himself: Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!
In this imperial examination, thanks to the help of Yu Jiuer, the concubine of Prince Jing, Zhang Yutang did not encounter any difficulties and entered the examination room smoothly without any hindrance.
Yu Jiuer was secretly proud of herself: power is still useful! It seems that in the capital, she still has to cling to Jun Mo's thighs. The emperor is the boss, and it is time for her to put aside her dignity and pride, and first compromise and smooth his hair, so that it will be convenient to pull hard in the future!
On the third day, Zhang Yutang fell asleep as soon as he came out, just like Yu Jiuer did before.
What follows is a long seven-day wait, seven days of life and death.
Zhang Yutang had a relatively good attitude at first, and he followed Yu Jiuer and the others to supervise the construction of the winery.
But in the last two days, he began to feel restless and dazed.
Finally, they arrived at the day when the results were announced.
Yu Jiuer and others came to the list and looked at the top three with wide eyes, but they were disappointed in the end.
Zhang Yutang ranked nineteenth, which meant that he failed the palace examination!
"Bang" Before Yu Jiuer could turn around to comfort him, she heard a loud noise behind her. She turned around and saw Zhang Yutang had fainted on the ground.
Shadow carried him onto the carriage and quickly returned to the inn.
After the doctor gave him acupuncture, Zhang Yutang finally woke up slowly, but he seemed to have lost his soul. He didn't speak, and didn't eat or drink.
The three tried to persuade him for a long time but he remained indifferent and still looked deeply shocked.
Yu Jiuer had no choice but to say, "Everyone, please go out first! Let him be alone and quiet!"
But three days later, Zhang Qiaoer went to the grape farm to find Yu Jiuer, crying loudly: "Miss Jiu, what should I do? My brother still looks like he's dying!"
During these three days, Yu Jiuer asked Zhang Qiaoer to stay with her brother at the inn, and she took Yu Tao to the grape farm to supervise the workers in building the winery. She was very busy, and when she heard this, her blood boiled and she said with a headache:
"How could he be so inexperienced as a grown man? The palace examination of the Great Dong Dynasty is held every year. If he fails this year, will he not be able to take the exam again next year? Why is he like this?"
Zhang Qiaoer sobbed and explained: "My eldest brother actually likes doing business very much, but he gave up his love for the sake of the imperial examination. He was working hard with all his strength, and now that he has failed, the tight string in his heart may suddenly break, and he can't bear it for a while!"
Yu Jiuer dropped the work at hand and ran straight to Dongsheng Restaurant, yelling at Zhang Yutang: "With such little talent, you still say you are fighting for the people of Yinshan County? There are more ways to fight for the people than just the imperial examination. Can you cheer up? I really despise you!"
These words finally brought his scattered eyes back to focus. He asked feebly, "What other options are there?"
"Don't you like doing business? The construction of our winery is almost finished. When the wine is brewed, in addition to making strong liquor with a mellow taste, I also plan to brew fruit wine.
You can use all your former arrogance and pride to help me promote sales at Dongsheng Restaurant, okay?" Seeing that he could still be saved, Yu Jiuer continued to persuade him,
"Wait until you have calmed down and picked up your books again, and take the exam again next year! Yinshan County's exams don't just rely on you, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are already very capable!"
"You don't blame me?"
"Of course I blame you! I blame you for being too fragile to accept failure; I blame you for being depressed when you fail; I blame you for making us worry!"
Zhang Yutang struggled to sit up, opened his mouth, and smiled: "It's all Qiao'er's fault for not being sensible. It's so late and she hasn't brought me the health porridge yet. I'm too hungry to get up. When I'm full, I'll go to the farm and make wine with you guys!"
"Brother, that's great. I'll get you some porridge right away!" Zhang Qiaoer, who was outside the door, happily ran to the kitchen.
After this incident, these people from Yinshan worked together as one and started their dream of revitalizing Yinshan County in the capital.
Yu Jiuer's life became regular.
She would take some time to spend with the children in the early morning.
Then Shadow drove her to the grape farm in a carriage to start a busy day. She must return to the palace before dark according to Jun Mo's regulations.
Now, there is still a month before Jun Mo's "collective wedding". She wants to take out the wine they made to promote it on the wedding day. She will even prepare fruit wine for the female guests, intending to put up a good fight.
Jun Mo used the wedding to deal with his affairs, and she used the wedding for her publicity.
"After all, this wedding isn't all bad!" Yu Jiuer could only comfort herself in this way!
On this day, Yu Jiuer, who was busy at the grape farm, became addicted to her work and refused to leave even when it got dark.
Seeing that night was about to fall, Dark Shadow said to Moon Shadow: "I have urged him twice, it's your turn to urge him!"
Yueying looked up at the sky, resigned herself to her fate and walked towards Yu Jiuer: "Master, if you don't return home, it will be dark soon!"
"Wait a moment, the last step. The taste of the purified wine this time will definitely be better than before!" Yu Jiuer couldn't bear to take her eyes off her experiment. "I've been working on it for a whole day, and this is all I need. Giving up would mean all my efforts would be wasted!"
"Hey!" Yueying had no choice but to say, "Let's just stay at the farm tonight. It's not safe to travel at night!"
Yu Jiuer ignored him and devoted herself to her experiment.
After a stick of incense, Yu Jiuer finally cheered: "Success! Everyone come and try it!"
Zhang Qiaoer, Zhang Yutang and Yutao put down their work and came over.
"Hmm! The taste is absolutely amazing this time!" Zhang Qiaoer shouted happily.
Zhang Yutang was also excited after tasting it: "The wine is mellow and silky smooth, and tastes great!"
Yu Jiuer shouted outside: "Anying, Yueying, you come and try it too!"
After Shadow and Moon Shadow came in, they drank one cup after another and seemed unable to stop.
"Don't get drunk! We still have to hurry back home!" Yu Jiuer quickly snatched the wine from the two secret guards.
Shadow paused and said, "Didn't you say we'd stay at the farm tonight? It's getting dark now, and it's not safe to go back through the woods!"
"When did I say that?"
Yueying said honestly: "I asked you when you were doing the experiment, and you agreed!"
"No! I promised the prince that I would not stay out all night. If I break the rules, he will definitely not let me out next time! Let's go back quickly while it's still dark. The prince may not have returned yet!" Yu Jiuer said as she ran out. "Nothing serious will happen in the capital! Let's go!"
Yutao and Zhang Qiaoer also ran out: "If you go back, we will go back with you!"
Zhang Yutang waved at them and said, "I'll stay here tonight, you all go back!"
All three women climbed onto the carriage. What else could Shadow and Moony say?
When the carriage drove to the grove, An Ying and Yue Ying immediately felt something was wrong and reminded Yu Jiuer in the carriage: "Master, something is wrong!"
