With a wave of his hand, the Prince's Mansion's fortune exploded throughout the entire cap

Upon hearing the words "reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha," a profound meaning appeared in Zhou Rui's eyes.

"Big brother, are the candy skewers ready yet?"

When the woman standing nearby saw a little girl sitting on the tall Gu Feng's shoulders, she frowned: "Oh my~ whose young master and young lady are these?"

Upon hearing the familiar opening, Xiao Yu's eyes began to fill with wariness.

"Alright, little sister, let's go back."

Xiao Jingjing looked at the large bag of things in Zhou Rui's hand: "So much? Enough to share~"

[Grandmother, Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Little Brother, Jingjing, and four older sisters: Wangchun, Jianxia, ​​Ranqiu, and Fudong; Qingshi, Qingya, Qingyan, Qingzheng, Shuqi, Shumo, Jianfeng, Daoren; and Granny Guan and Granny Pang... Oh, and Sister Chan'er!]

When the three brothers heard their sister rattle off a long list of names, they all fell silent.

Zhou Rui handed the silver ingot in his hand to Shu Mo beside him:

"Since there are many people in the household, please have the shopkeeper deliver all the candied hawthorns for today to the Prince Jing's residence, and also send another twenty strings to the Marquis Xuanping's residence. The Lu family is large, so send thirty strings. Tell them that Miss had some delicious food on the street today and invited all the elders and cousins ​​in the family to share it."

Shumo handed the large bag of pastries to Daoren beside Gu Feng, then turned to talk to the shopkeeper.

"Shumo, and also send ten strings to the second and third wives' families."

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, Shu Mo was somewhat surprised: "Yes, Your Highness."

"Huh? Second and third wives? Who are they?"

Little Jingjing looked at the older boy with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Yu took the candy packet from her hand: "I'll tell you when we get back, it's okay."

"Okay~"

"That's right, Jingjing, let's not talk about those unimportant people, let's just be happy today, okay?"

Gu Feng tiptoed and bounced Xiao Jingjing on his shoulder, which amused Xiao Jingjing so much that she reached out and hugged his head, laughing loudly.

Why bring up such unlucky things on such a wonderful day?

Not far away, a woman dressed in a scarlet jacket watched the young men as they shopped their way from one end of the street to the other.

The girl sitting on the young man's shoulders had a face full of happiness.

"Madam, it's time for us to go back."

The woman turned back and glanced at him again: "Let's go."

Upon returning to the Prince's residence that day, the maids, guards, and nannies who served the masters received a considerable amount of food.

Inside the Wutongzhai, Master Qiu held the pastries in front of him and nodded repeatedly: "This little girl is not bad. I need to discuss with the Prince about starting her education."

The following day, after Xiao Jingjing moved into Xianyun Residence, Master Qiu sent a congratulatory gift to the backyard: a copy of the Three Character Classic and a set of writing implements.

Little Jingjing glanced at the Three Character Classic and quickly hid it under the tablecloth.

No, no, no, there are no books!

[Both older and younger brothers work so hard at studying, Jingjing doesn't want to study~]

A smile flashed in Zhou Rui's eyes: Little sister, your big brother has already made up his mind. Once the results of the academy exam are out, your big brother will personally begin your studies.

Gu Feng straightened the ornament in his hand to block the protruding corner of the table for her: Little sister is right, studying is really hard!

Xiao Yu frowned. His younger sister could be ignorant of poetry and literature, and she could even choose not to study classical texts, but she could not be illiterate.

There's also the history of the Xiao family army in the southwest, which is something you should know a little about.

Moreover, my younger sister is already four years old, and according to custom, she should be studying in the Imperial Study.

Previously, the eldest brother was weak and thought it would be more convenient for him to stay at the Imperial Academy. The second brother, on the other hand, had been practicing martial arts for a long time and couldn't sit quietly to read for long periods of time, so he only went to the Imperial Academy for two days.

As for Jingjing, it's better for her to stay in the Imperial Study.

There are many young ladies in the Imperial Academy, so disputes are inevitable. In the Imperial Study, he will learn to stand up for his younger sister.

[Didn't you notice? (#^.^#) Jingjing doesn't want to study at all~]

[My older brother spends all his time studying and doesn't play much. Jingjing doesn't want that!]

Besides, we don't have to study at Tianming Lake! We learn magic at the academy, so we don't need to read so many books.

None of them exposed Jingjing's actions, but they all knew that she had to learn the characters.

Let her be happy for a few more days.

Inside the main hall of Fuluyuan, Fang Yuhua and Lu Wenshu sat at the head of the table, Zhou Rui sat at the lower left, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Jingjing sat at the lower right.

Gu Feng, relying on his superior martial arts skills, flew directly to the place where the results were posted.

At the entrance of the Prince's mansion, Granny Guan would occasionally peek out to see if the servants and the eldest son's page had returned.

"Not back yet?"

Fang Yuhua looked out of the courtyard and felt a little anxious.

"Grandmother, it's still early, no need to rush."

Zhou Rui held his teacup, calm and composed.

Fifteen minutes later, Gu Feng's voice rang out from afar: "I passed! I passed! Big brother is the top scorer!!!"

"Butler, quickly set off firecrackers! Father! Mother! Grandmother! Big brother has passed the exam!"

"Top scholar! Top scholar! Everyone on the street is saying our family has produced a literary genius!"

Gu Feng's loud voice echoed throughout the Prince's mansion.

Fang Yuhua and Lu Wenshu both stood up: "It's good that you passed the exam. You're the top student, the top student! Rui'er is really amazing."

Xiao Yu also stood up and bowed happily to Zhou Rui: "Congratulations, elder brother, on achieving your wish."

"Big brother is so amazing!"

Little Jingjing even clapped her hands.

What was the top student again? But it must be amazing! Big brother is the best!

Gu Feng didn't run; instead, he used his light-foot technique to fly directly into Fuluyuan.

"Mother, the official who will bring good news will be here soon."

Lu Wenshu hurried out, not forgetting to instruct, "Have the nanny and the steward scatter copper coins in the street. The servants in the manor will receive an extra month's salary this month, and Wenzhu Courtyard will receive three months' salary."

After saying that, he stopped and added, "Oh, right, go to Linjiang Tower and book a banquet for three days straight!"

Seeing Lu Wenshu leave in a hurry, Fang Yuhua added, "Rui'er, go quickly. Receive the guests with your father and mother in the reception room. When you come back, tell me about your passing the imperial examination. Should our manor go outside the city to distribute porridge, or do something else? Once you've decided, have the servants prepare. You must go to the site in person tomorrow."

"Yes, grandson obeys."

[A continuous banquet?! Are there delicious things to eat at this banquet?! Jingjing wants to eat drunken crab!]

[I only ate one last time, and my mother wouldn't let me have any more, waaaaaah ┭┮﹏┭┮]

[And the spicy shrimp is delicious too!]

As she pondered this, Jingjing licked her lips.

I'm so hungry...

"Madam, the banquet at Linjiang Tower for three days has been booked, and the deposit of one thousand taels has been paid. Fortunately, Guard Qingya arrived first; otherwise, by the time this old servant arrived, Linjiang Tower would have already been reserved by the Marquis of Guangping's residence."

Fang Yuhua looked at Granny Pang with some surprise: "The Marquis of Guangping's residence?"

Granny Pang nodded, her expression not too good: "The eldest son of the Marquis of Guangping is also on the list this time, ranking just after the eldest son. That second young master Bai is only twelve years old this year."

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes: "The Marquis of Guangping's residence?"

"It's...it's all over the streets. It's said that it's the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Guangping, a blessing brought by that lucky star."

Fang Yuhua frowned slightly: "Lucky Star?"

Recalling what his elder brother had overheard that day, Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Jingjing with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"It is said that the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Guangping was born on the third day of the third lunar month, when the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha passed away. She has brought a lot of good luck to the Marquis of Guangping's family. Last time, she even helped an old woman on the street find her grandson. She found him faster than the constables."

Upon hearing "Maitreya Buddha" and "March 3rd," a look of disgust flashed in Fang Yuhua's eyes: "Bad luck!"

"You dare to step over my Prince Jing's mansion to rise to power, Marquis Guangping, you have some nerve."

Little Jingjing listened to their words and thought them through carefully.

[The Marquis of Guangping? I think I saw the Lady of the Marquis of Guangping last time?]

[How come I don't remember her having any particularly good fortune or wealth?]

[Furthermore, I remember her luck chart was a bit strange, though Jingjing couldn't tell at the time.]

There were just too many people that day, so I couldn't think things through properly.

[By the way, Jingjing's magical power has improved considerably. If she looks at Lady Guangping again, she'll definitely be able to tell!]

"Madam, the Guangping Marquis's residence has sent an invitation. It's to celebrate the second son of the Guangping Marquis taking the imperial examination."
