Mrs. Zhang made a big fuss in the back house. She originally wanted to take advantage of the problem and put Qi Qiuyue and her daughter in a state of irreversible destruction. As a result, she made a fool of herself, which made the Lu family know Lu Zheng's name even more.

"Hey, do you know? The second master said that when Brother Zheng came back this time, not only did he not pay homage to Mrs. Zhang, he didn't even pay homage to Master Er! Tsk, tsk, tell me, how can Brother Zheng be so awesome at home now?"

"Niu Si, you don't understand this, right? These are the rules that the old man exempted Zheng Geer. Mrs. Zhang hated Zheng Geer to the core and wished he could die. Think about it, in this case, can the old man stand by and watch?

Now Brother Zheng is not the young boy in the past. He is very famous outside now. When he mentions Lu Zheng in Jinling, who doesn’t praise him as a talented man?”

"My brother Zheng is so powerful, Mrs. Zhang is miserable. The mother is as noble as her son, and Aunt Qi's current status has risen. In the future, our brothers will have to be careful to serve some of them. If they serve them well, they may get unexpected benefits!"

The Lu family, a group of servants, were talking privately. The story of Lu Zheng being exempted from the rules by the old man quickly spread. For a moment, Lu Zheng's reputation at home became even higher. He was fine, but he didn't live at home anyway.

For Qi Qiuyue, the meaning is different. She never dreamed that she would have a chance to turn things around in her life. When she was the most difficult and hard work of the past, she had only one thought in her mind, that is, to fight to the death and save her son's life.

Now that the hardships are over, my son is promising, and her hard life is over. After passing the incident of Mrs. Zhang hanging, she not only did not get affected, but her status has soared rapidly. Now that the Lu family mentions the second house, in addition to thinking about Mrs. Zhang, Aunt Qi will definitely be mentioned!

...

Lu Zheng walked around Jiangning and returned to Liuhe, but did not get quiet!

The Courtesan Competition is approaching, and all forces can be said to be omnipresent. The incident of Lu Zheng going to Jiangning quickly spread throughout the Qinhuai River.

Now, all talented people with a little fame have almost been attracted by various forces. It is no exaggeration to say that everyone's competition routines in this courtesan competition have been basically finalized.

If there are still variables, the biggest variable is Lu Zheng.

Who will Lu Zheng support? First of all, will Lu Zheng support one of the two girls Fan Duoduo and Li Qianqian, the favorites to win the Courtesan Competition?

If Lu Zheng falls to one of them, the balance of the winner of the Courtesan Contest will likely be tilted. Until now, Lu Zheng has not clearly stated which side to support, which has become a major suspense in this Courtesan Contest!

This is a suspense for ordinary people who are eating melons, but for the forces behind the pleasure boat, this is a torment. Now, countless people are looking for Lu Zheng in different ways.

Some people with great powers even found Nie Yong through Zhili Governor Zhan Tianqi, just to negotiate terms with Lu Zheng.

If you encounter other people, it will inevitably be difficult to resist, but for Lu Zheng, he is a general who comes to block the water and soil, and anyway, he will not be able to enter the oil and salt.

Some people who offer money, Lu Zheng is not short of money, and some who offer beauty, Lu Zheng even disdains. Some people who offer money for future success, Lu Zheng regards it as a joke.

Liuhe is now Lu Zheng's territory. He wants to hide it, but no one can find it. No one can find it. All nobles and forces from all sides have returned in defeat. As a result, Lu Zheng's reputation has been further pushed up, and the suspense has become increasingly greater and more talked about.

Biyun Pavilion, another distinguished guest has arrived today. Guo Song, the Imperial College Priest, went to Haixiong Pavilion two days ago. He met Miss Qianqian at Haixiong Pavilion. This incident caused a sensation in the whole city. Today, Guo Jixiong came to Biyun Pavilion again, so naturally Duoduo would accompany her.

Guo Song himself is a romantic figure. He was very talented in the Qinhuai River when he was young. Moreover, he had rumors with many girls on the Qinhuai River. Even his current concubine was the top card on a certain pleasure boat in the Qinhuai River!

Guo Song is no longer young, but he is still a frequent visitor to the major pleasure boats of the Qinhuai River. In the past, when he visited a certain pleasure boat, everyone did not take it seriously.

After all, Guo Song was just a sacrificial tribute to the Imperial College. The adults who patronized the Qinhuai River included six ministers, one province's governor, and even royal nobles like King Pu!

But now, the situation is very different, because Guo Song is the chief examiner of the Nanzhili Province next year's provincial examination. Talented men from Jiangnan are gathered in Jinling now, and the Courtesan Competition is about to be in front of you. At this time, some people even talked about this Courtesan Competition as the preliminaries for the Enke Provincial Examination next year!

With such high attention, Guo Song's every move attracted special attention, and of course he could get unprecedented treatment in any pleasure boat.

In Biyun Pavilion, Fan Duoduo wore a plain dress today. She knelt on the collapse and poured tea for Guo Song himself. Guo Song sat upright, without any ease in the pleasure boat for fun.

He took the teacup and said, "Half Gu is here?"

Fan Duoduo shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Lord Guo, my old boss said that Lord Guo is here today and I will be a distinguished guest. Let Duoduo serve you well!

Lord Guo, Duoduo’s recent lyrics include “Ding Fengbo”, “Linjiangxian” and “Qingyu Case”. I wonder which tune I like Duoduo to sing for you?”

Guo Song shook his head gently and said, "Miss Duoduo, let's have a quiet cup of tea first!"

Fan Duoduo stopped talking and sat down properly to accompany Guo Song to taste tea.

"Haha, Lord Guo is indeed a believer! I'm late!" Suddenly, a sound came from behind the door, tassels rolled up, and a majestic old man walked in with all directions.

Guo Song quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Gu, I wonder what instructions did Lord. Gu ask me to come to Biyun Pavilion?"

This old man is no one else, Gu Tianyang, the head of the Gu family. Gu Tianyang laughed and said, "Mr. Guo went to Haimiang Pavilion, so he naturally had to come to Biyun Pavilion. They are also top-notch pleasure boats in Jinling. Why should he favor one or the other?"

Guo Song frowned slightly, feeling very bad in his heart. He never expected that the emperor would give him this errand this time!

Guo Song didn't want to be the chief examiner of the provincial examination at all. Now, as soon as the emperor's imperial edict arrived, Jiangnan immediately became a mess. Just talking about Jinling, all forces gathered together and showed their magical powers.

On the surface, the dispute between Shanghai Mirage Pavilion and Biyun Pavilion is the mainstream of this courtesan competition. Behind them are the Gu family, the powerful family of Jiangnan, and His Highness the King of Qin. In fact, there is also the Ruan family in secret, and behind the Ruan family is Dai Gao. Which of these forces can Guo Song provoke?

I don’t know which people are fond of the Qiu Exam and the Huagu Competition. Guo Song likes romantic affairs, but how could he compare the imperial examinations and the jealous dramas of the Qinhuai River?

But the rumors have already arisen, and Guo Song cannot refuse now. All forces are coming towards him. He was a useless official in the Southern Court, but he became popular overnight.

He seemed to understand the meaning of the court. He guessed that someone wanted him to choose to take the team! In this case, can Guo Song treat him equally? If he does not serve him equally, he must choose which side to move closer to. Such a choice makes him very painful.

"Mr. Guo, sit down! Actually, don't think too much. I asked you here today just to talk to you!

The royal demeanor of Mirage Pavilion is not comparable to that of Biyun Pavilion. This time, Mirage Pavilion has gathered talents, and I can only choose a few young people who can barely get on the table among the rookies. Speaking of which, Duoduo is in no way sure of this time the courtesan competition!" Gu Tianyang said, his tone was very sincere, and he sighed after saying these words.

Who is Guo Song? Will he believe Gu Tianyang's nonsense? If Gu Tianyang is really powerless and has no desire to win, how could he choose this way to meet Guo Song at this time?

Gu Tianyang changed the subject and said, "Mr. Guo, your father and I were actually the same year, and our family was also a family friend. This time you became the chief examiner, which is a good thing, a great thing!

But Jiangnan, especially Jinling, is too complicated. Just like you are now dancing on a few eggs, it feels very uncomfortable, right?"

Guo Song was stunned for a moment, stood up properly, and then bowed: "Old Gu, Guo Song begs Mr. Gu to give me some advice. The saint's order should not be violated. However, Guo Song was not talented and knowledgeable, so he may not be able to bear the heavy responsibility. My personal honor and disgrace are nothing, but I am afraid that I will let down the holy grace and delay the future of my talented men in Jiangnan..."

Gu Tianyang quickly reached out and helped him up and said, "Mr. Guo, I dare not give me some advice! But I can tell you some experience!

Isn’t someone telling you how this courtesan competition? Since you are powerless to change, why not follow the trend?”

"Mr. Guo, the general trend is unpredictable, and you can at least be impartial before the Courtesan Competition, or you can be as stable as Mount Tai before the autumn list comes out next year!"

Gu Tianyang stared at Guo Song, and Guo Song's expression kept changing. He knew in his heart that Jiangnan would like to say who is the most controllable, except Gu Tianyang, would not be the second person.

Every sentence, even every word of Gu Tianyang is precious and worth savoring. After a long time, he seemed to understand Gu Tianyang's meaning. He wanted to speak, but he seemed to have not understood it thoroughly.

At this time, Gu Tianyang said again: "Mr. Guo, since you can be impartial, then you can be impartial.

What is the provincial examination for? It is the imperial examination for the imperial court to select scholars. The emperor’s kindness is so great that Guo Song is the chief examiner of the provincial examination. How should you repay the emperor’s kindness?

Except for fairness and justice and impartiality, no other way is what the emperor wants to see, nor is it what the court wants to see!

Lord Guo may think that someone pushes you to the forefront and is going to force your team. But if the emperor also looks at you at this time, is he forcing your team to force you?"

When Guo Song heard Gu Tianyang's words, he shivered all over, his face turned pale immediately, and said, "Old Gu, what he meant is..."

Gu Tianyang laughed and said, "The emperor means that of course he wants to see if our romantic figures in Jiangnan can withstand the differentiation and enlistment of forces from all sides, and coercion and temptation!
