My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Fu thought bitterly, she couldn't discipline her nephews and nieces-in-law who were disrespectful to their elders, so could it be that the Crown Princess couldn't discipline her either?

By the way, you can also take the opportunity to make friends with the Crown Princess. Wouldn't the relationship become closer as a result?

When the Crown Princess heard about the Fu family's visit, she was a little confused at first, "Which Fu family?"

What Fu? Is there anyone like him in her social circle?

If there is none, then it must be someone who is shamelessly trying to curry favor with her. From time to time, one or two such shameless people would appear. The Crown Princess has long been accustomed to them. Of course, she has never taken such people seriously.

The housekeeper sent him away directly.

What a joke, she is the Crown Princess, can anyone see her?

After listening to the maid's explanation, the Crown Princess sneered and said, "So it's her. She's really good at climbing the ladder. Well, let her in. It's okay for me to meet her."

The Crown Princess was furious after hearing Fu's exaggerated words.

Due to her status, she remained dignified and calm in front of Fu, but the lines on her face were a little tense, and the already faint smile at the corners of her lips was gone.

After sending Fu away with a few words, the Crown Princess sneered bitterly, "Marquis Shao is so powerful. I didn't expect that Lin, who has been quiet, is also jealous and intolerable. Well, very good! They dare to treat the person I rewarded like this. They are slapping me in the face! In my opinion, the crazy woman's falling into the water and nearly losing her life are probably just the conspiracy of the couple! They are targeting me!"

The Crown Princess was accustomed to the brutal struggles in the harem and was no longer surprised by all kinds of shady means and intrigues. Whenever something happened, she would subconsciously think about the most secretive aspects. Unexpectedly, she hit the mark and got very close to the truth.

Unfortunately, it makes no sense.

After all, the Fu family does not have such scheming means. They can only do small tricks like grasshoppers jumping, which are not painful at all.

Lin Yulan lived a relaxed and comfortable life again. After doing the math, she found that her piggy bank was quite full and she was quite satisfied.

However, no one would complain about having too much money, so she decided to buy some wine.

After walking around for a few times, I finally "accidentally" ran into a group of Western merchants selling wine. After tasting the wine, I said I liked it very much, and generously bought all the wine they brought but had not been able to sell.

By the end of this year, this wine with bright amber color and mellow and delicious flavor will be popular all over the capital, and then I will be able to make a lot of money.

With such an opportunity to make a fortune, Lin Yulan would definitely bring the Marquis along.

"This wine looks good in color and tastes good. Why not stockpile some and sell it when the time comes? Maybe the nobles in the capital will like it, too."

Although Shao Xun still felt that his wife was beginning to have sudden and unrealistic ideas again, when a person's good luck comes, nothing can stop it. Maybe his wife was born with this kind of good luck?

Look at those silk gauze, they were very popular and sold out several times, making a lot of money.

Su Yuan beat his chest and stamped his feet, repeatedly telling him that if his wife had any good ideas again, he must take them seriously, must take them seriously.

Anyway, even if the sales don't boom after they buy it, they won't lose money thanks to their sales network and channels.

Hearing Lin Yulan suddenly mentioning something about wine, although Shao Xun tried it out of courtesy and didn't think it was anything special, he couldn't say no when facing his wife's eyes that were full of eager anticipation.

What's more, is there any precedent?

"Since Madam is so fond of this wine, I think it must be a good product. How much do you plan to buy?"

Lin Yulan was afraid that he would become suspicious so she asked him too many questions. She thought over and over again and prepared a lot of answers to deal with him. She didn't expect that he didn't ask any questions so straightforwardly. She was stunned for a moment.

"Ah," Lin Yulan came back to her senses and said with a smile, "I plan to take out 10,000 taels as capital—"

"Okay, I'll ask someone to do the rest. Madam, you can ask anything you want to know at any time."

Lin Yulan was completely relieved, and nodded repeatedly with a smile: "I have prepared 10,000 taels of silver, and will give it to the Marquis tomorrow. I will leave everything to the Marquis!"

Lord Shao would do everything he promised very carefully.

Shao Xun smiled and said, "Madam, you are too polite. I am just taking advantage of you."

Lin Yulan smiled inwardly, then thought that there was no reason for her to know that she would make a fortune from this. She just liked wine, so she wanted to try this business "on a whim". It would be inappropriate for her to appear too confident at this moment.

This flaw is too big to be fixed.

Lin Yulan quickly added, "I just said it casually. I just don't know what to do with the money in my hand. I always want to find something to do. I think this wine is good, so I want to try it. It's hard to say whether I can make money. If you lose money at that time, please don't blame me, my lord."

Shao Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I won't blame you no matter what. Even if I lose everything, it's my own choice. You don't have to feel any psychological pressure."

Lin Yulan smiled, "That's fine."

Little did he know that if it were someone else, Shao Xun would have been suspicious a long time ago. But because it was her, Shao Xun didn't think much about it and did it without thinking.

With the imperial examination approaching, the atmosphere in the capital city suddenly became lively and tense. Various news about the imperial examination were widely circulated, and the scholars participating in the imperial examination became the focus of discussion in teahouses, taverns, streets and alleys.

The scholars themselves were not idle either, making friends everywhere, attending literary gatherings, taking exams, and discussing and speculating on the topic of this special examination. Everyone was excited, expectant, and nervous. Some were even more clever, trying to gain connections everywhere, racking their brains to find opportunities to make friends with officials in the capital, trying to get some connections...

For a time, all kinds of evil spirits started to move openly or secretly.

No one knew that in this excitement or panic, as Shao Xun secretly passed the secret order to the "nail", the prince discussed with the Grand Tutor, the old scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and the Minister of Rites, and reported to the emperor after getting approval. The confirmed test questions quietly fell into the hands of a small group of scholars who were the most powerful and good at finding out the "doors"...

The Enke exam went very smoothly. There were quite a few surprises among the hundreds of papers. Nearly twenty papers were extremely outstanding. It can be said that there were surprises one after another.

The prince reported this to the emperor triumphantly, and the emperor was also very happy.

This time the imperial examination was presided over by the crown prince, which shows that the crown prince really put his heart into it.

Although these scholars who took part in the special examination did not take the exam because of the crown prince, it was a job that the crown prince was in charge of, so the credit naturally went to the crown prince.
