    After the No. 1 scholar paraded through the streets, he returned to the palace to attend the Qionglin Banquet hosted by Yi Luansi.

    After being led by the officials of the Ministry of Rites to receive the rewards, a group of Xinke Scholars put flowers representing honor on their hairpins, and then bowed to each other with the officials, and then bowed to Emperor Hong who was attending the banquet, and then they raised their dendrobium to drink happily.

    During the banquet, Zhang Yulang was naturally the most popular.

    Among this group of Scholars, many were from Imperial College, and the rumor that Zhang Yulang looked like Wen Xuan was first spread by people in Imperial College who had dealt with Wen Xuan.

    For example, second place Su Ruitian, when Fan Shilang led him to put on his robe and crown, saw Zhang Yulang and wanted to start a conversation several times, but unfortunately the timing was not right.A polite and indifferent distance.

    At this time, the parade was completed, and by the end of the next day, most of the people in Capital City knew that the new champion was Zhang Yulang, and Zhang Yulang was as handsome and handsome as Prince Wen.

    Jinshi of Xinke can already imagine Zhang Yulang's unparalleled grand occasion in the future, some are jealous, some are envious, and those supervisors, taking advantage of the toast, come to clink glasses with Zhang Yulang one after another, and feast their eyes on it.

    "Sure enough, Brother Zhang, you were listening to the rankings in the Gong Yuan that day. As soon as I saw you, I thought you were very similar to Prince Wen. Looking at you now, you really look very similar!"

    "No, when I saw him for the first time, I thought Prince Wen had come back to life!"

    "Mr. Zhang, I heard that you are from Chuzhou Prefecture. I wonder if you have been to Capital City before?"

    ...

    Zhang Yulang was questioned frequently, but in the end it was Emperor Hong who came over and called the top three of the new division to him for questioning.

    At this time, Chen Nianjian and Zeng Siyi were chatting among a group of new scholars, glancing at Zhang Yulang from time to time, and seeing him, Su Ruitian and Jiang Yu being called away by Emperor Hong to ask questions in person, there was a hint of envy in their eyes.

    Tsk tsk, why isn't he one of the top three in this new department?

    In fact, Emperor Hong had been very familiar with Su Ruitian and Jiang Yu long before that.

    One is the son of Lord Zhenguo who guarded the frontier and made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the other is the eldest son of the concubine's natal family in the harem. He has always been in contact with each other, so the one Emperor Hong asked the most is Zhang Yulang.

    It just so happened that Su Ruitian was very curious about Zhang Yulang.

    As for Jiang Yu, he has mainly lived in Chuzhou Prefecture, and has heard rumors about Prince Wen, but has no contact with him. After the test, he heard that Zhang Yulang looks like Prince Wen, because he is also from Chuzhou Prefecture., also a little more exploration.

    But Zhang Yulang responded to these questions with humility, courtesy, and calmness, but he didn't let Emperor Hong investigate further.

    Regarding Zhang Yulang's role as Wen Xuan's substitute, he did not intend to make it public. As for Zhang Yulang's crime of deception, Master Ming Hai said frankly that Zhang Yulang was also responsible for finding out the truth about Wen's murder.

    At this time, seeing Zhang Yulang a gentleman, proud of the spring breeze, he somewhat made up for the regret of losing Wenxuan, Hongdi's mood improved, and looking at Zhang Yulang, he suddenly felt that Zhang Yulang was involuntary about what happened before, and he was afraid of rehabilitating Haijiang.Credit, not to mention, if he hadn't taken the risk to escape from Sending Letter and Minghai, Wen Xuan died unjustly, and secondly, Marquis Anshun and other rebellious officials and thieves might still be at ease.

    Therefore, Zhang Yulang's contribution is not insignificant.

    Thinking about it this way, I felt that I was too harsh before, so I couldn't help saying, "The number one scholar is now famous all over the world, what more can I ask for?"

    Now that his status is revealed, he will be a minister of the imperial court in a short time, and if he has a hand-picked intention, he must be able to protect himself well under Fu Xia's eyes.

    Zhang Yulang was worried about how to beg for pen and ink from Emperor Hong for his wife. Hearing what Emperor Hong said, he immediately knelt down: "Miss of the minister's family, a new high-rise building was built today. She once joked with the minister that if one day, the minister will beZhuangyuanlang, the new building will be named Zhuangyuanlou. I have no other request today, but I beg Your Majesty Baomo to give me and my wife the three characters Zhuangyuanlou as the name of the building."

    The Jinshi who heard this were all stunned.

    It's rare for the Holy One to open his mouth and ask for nothing but pen and ink.

    It's fine to ask for pen and ink, and it's also good to let the emperor write poems with his own hands, but what he asked for was actually the "Zhuangyuan Building", which was used as the name of the building.

    pedantic.

    I don't know elegance.

    Sure enough, it was not Prince Wen Gaojie.

    Emperor Hong was also startled, and then he laughed and agreed. Liu Fuan immediately moved to the desk, swiped ink in front of everyone, and wrote the three big characters of "Zhuangyuan Building".

    Seeing that Zhang Yulang had completed the task assigned to him by his wife, he heaved a sigh of relief and thanked him with a smile.

    Jiang Yu naturally knew why Zhang Yulang begged for the pen and ink of this painting of Emperor Hong, and felt quite uncomfortable.

    After Emperor Hong left, Chen Nianjian and Zeng Sicai bravely squeezed over, looked at Zhang Er's begging calligraphy, and envied: "Zhang Er, is this going to hang in the new building on Suchuan Road?"

    "That's right." Zhang Er generously admitted.

    "Tsk tsk, Mrs. Chen shouldn't be too happy about the restaurant where the Holy Majesty's own calligraphy is used as a trick."

    "What Suchuan Road? What restaurant?"

    When Su Ruitian asked, the rest of the new scholars rushed over.

    Zhang Erlang looked at the new Jinshi in this circle, and suddenly smiled: "I want to host a banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building to entertain all of you from the same discipline. I wonder if you would like to show respect?"

    "Zhuangyuan Lang was joking, you want to host a banquet for us, why don't we go?"

    The people present confirmed that the top three will enter the Hanlin Academy in the future, the most noble and the most promising. Other Jinshi, there will be those who will enter the Six Departments as officials, and some will be sent to other places. Three hundred Jinshi in one subject will be awarded in the future.All over the court and the field.

    If you socialize with the same Kodo, can't the network and power be accumulated little by little?

    Even leaving aside the communication with the same subjects, and ignoring the sect for the time being, it is also an honor to be treated by the number one scholar!

    Therefore, as long as there are spare Jinshi, they all expressed their support.

    When Zhang Erlang returned to Xianggui Street, he saw that the courtyard was also very lively.

    Knowing that Zhang Erlang, who lives here, has won the champion of this year's Chunwei, almost immediately, the people nearby gave gifts, and the visits were more lively than when they learned that Zhang Erlang looked like Prince Wen., Qimu was so busy.

    As for the Dujuan people in the embroidery room, since Princess Fu Xia personally came to the door that day, they have settled down a lot. At this time, they were amazed to see Mr. Zhang winning the first prize.

    Zhang Erlang thanked those who came to congratulate him one by one as he walked along the corridor, and then went straight to find Chen Nianguan.

    Chen Nianguan looked at the three words "Zhuangyuan Building" carefully held in his hand, and smiled happily: "Husband, you really did it!"

    "I did it. If you don't believe me, there will be three hundred Jinshi to testify for me tomorrow."

    "Believe it, how can you not believe it? Husband is the number one scholar, and the number one scholar asks for calligraphy, I believe you can still do it."

    Chen Nianguan sighed.

    But no, all the way was smoothly admitted to Jinshi, and now he is not only the most handsome among Jinshi, but also numder1, awesome.

    Chen Nianguan stared at the calligraphy that was bestowed by the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty with almond-shaped eyes, hehe in his heart.

    With the words of the emperor as a living signboard, I am afraid it is not the first one in Capital City?

    Zhuangyuanlou, now, can their Chenjia restaurant be the benchmark for scholars in Capital City?

    "Wan Wan!"

    Seeing that Chen Nianguan's full attention was on the words, Zhang Erlang couldn't help but eat it, put the ink aside, and reluctantly pulled his wife over, "Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building to entertain this year's new students."Being a Jinshi can be regarded as attracting many potential diners to our restaurant, right?"

    When Chen Nianguan heard this, he was stunned.

    But, no, Xinke Scholars are????? They are officials of all sizes in Beijing and abroad in the future. Inviting them to the Zhuangyuan Building, what more publicity can there be than this?

    At that time, hang the emperor's inscription on it in front of everyone, isn't that the most sensational news in Capital City?

    How about looking for Master Ming Hai to be the spokesperson? With such a lively and handsome No. 1 scholar as the image ambassador, how can you be afraid that you won't get celebrity effect?

    So happy that Chen Nianguan couldn't help cheering cheerfully: "Husband!"

    My husband is really thoughtful!

    "Am I doing well?"

    "it is good!"

    "Since you did a good job, shouldn't the lady show something? Well, to reward the husband?" Zhang Erlang bent over and gently pressed his forehead on the lady's forehead.

    Chen Nianwan smiled and reached out to caress her husband's face, and pecked lightly on his lips: "Well, tonight..."

    "tonight?"

    Zhang Erlang put his arms around the woman's slender waist, and asked with a smile.

    "Just tonight!" Chen Nianguan raised his eyes, giving Zhang Erlang a comprehending look.

    How can Zhang Erlang not understand?

    He hugged the lady into his arms, hugged her tightly, lowered his head, glanced at the ink on the side, and couldn't help sighing: until today, he has finally become Wan Wan's reliance, and can make Wan WanIt's all over the place.

    Now, I can be regarded as Wan Wan's qualified husband, right?

    the next day.

    Rumor has it that the husband of the owner of Chenjia Restaurant on Suchuan Road is the champion of this year's Chunwei, and many diners come here upon hearing the news.

    Not only because Zhang Erlang is the No. 1 man, but also because the No. 1 man paraded through the streets yesterday, and everyone in Capital City saw Zhang Yulang's true face in Lushan!

    She really looks just like that peerless Prince Wen!

    It turns out that there is not only Prince Wen in this world, but also another person who can be so handsome, noble and talented!

    The regret of losing Prince Wen seems to have found sustenance in Zhang Yulang. After the number one scholar paraded through the streets, Zhang Yulang's reputation immediately spread throughout Capital City!

    Many people went to inquire about the origin of Zhuangyuanlang, and then they learned about the Chen family restaurant opened by Zhuangyuanlang's wife!

    Since it is the restaurant opened by Mrs. Zhuangyuanlang, Zhuangyuanlang must come to the restaurant on weekdays, so early this morning, many diners came to patronize Chen's restaurant.

    Naturally, he wanted to see Lang Yan's unique champion Lang again.

    In the end, was told that the Chen Family Restaurant is not open to the public for the time being because it is going to entertain hundreds of modern scholars for Zhuangyuanlang, but diners are welcome to watch the listing ceremony of Zhuangyuanlou for a while.

    "Zhuangyuan Building?"

    "Don't you know? Yesterday Zhuangyuanlang won the top spot, and the sage Longyan was very happy, and rewarded Zhuangyuanlang with the calligraphy of 'Zhuangyuanlou', which is the inscription on the tall building next to the Chen family restaurant."

    "Your Majesty gave a special inscription to Master Chen's restaurant?"

    "That's not true. The Jinshi who came to the banquet have said that it is the reward that the champion asked for his wife!"

    "Tsk tsk tsk! It seems that Zhuangyuan Lang and Master Chen have a very good relationship, so I envy others!"

    "No!"

    Shi Cunqi and Cang Monan greeted them at the door and presided over today's plaque hanging ceremony with excited expressions.

    No!

    He thought that Chen's Restaurant could attract almost all the ladies and ladies in Capital City, quickly gain a foothold in Capital City, and be able to compete with Yueman Building, it would be the most prosperous period.

    Who would have expected that Master Chen's husband not only passed the Jinshi exam, but also the number one scholar?

    Not only that, but also because of its similarity to the famous Prince Wen, it attracted the attention of the whole city, making Chen's Restaurant instantly popular in the whole Capital City.

    Now with the emperor's autographed inscription, this entire Capital City is the only one!

    Not to mention the Zhuangyuan Restaurant opened by Zhuangyuan Lang's family, which is also a unique restaurant.

    In the future, I am afraid that scholars and arty sons and gentlemen will become supporters of Zhuangyuan Building.

    Who doesn't want to be the champion?

    Shi Cunqi can imagine that in the future, the reputation of the Zhuangyuan Tower will resound throughout the great Zhou Dynasty.

    He cooperated with Master Chen, but he never expected that there would be a Zhuangyuan building vacated, and he would also be the big shopkeeper of the Zhuangyuan building.

    In comparison, what is the second owner of Yueman Building?

    Shi Cunqi, who has always kept his expression secret, has a smile on his face today, which is very energetic!

    And when heard the other restaurants that the Holy Majesty had inscribed on the newly built restaurant next to the Chen Family Restaurant, felt envious, jealous and hateful in heart!

    Careless, unexpectedly, there is Zhang Yulang behind this Chen family restaurant, Zhang Yulang also won the first prize in the exam, not only won the attention of people in the city by his resemblance to Wen Shizi, but also won the emperor for that restaurantMobao!

    This is a restaurant in Capital City, an honor that has never been won!

    As soon as the plaque is hung today, there is an inscription written by the Holy Majesty, who can compare to the scenery of the Chen Family Restaurant?

    If knew this earlier, shouldn't have allowed the Chen Family Restaurant to open so smoothly in the first place!

    If had known this, should have recruited Mrs. Chen to restaurant from the very beginning!

    If knew it earlier,...

    Seeing that the general situation has been settled, all the restaurant owners, big and small, sighed and shook their heads!

    Who let my family not have a pair of discerning eyes to see through that Mrs. Chen's husband will have a brilliant and brilliant today?

    Or, train and cultivate your own husband, and also become the number one scholar?

    Just to put it bluntly, how can it be so easy for Zhuangyuan Lang to be the champion if he wants to?

    Under the envious eyes of everyone, Chen Nianguan and Zhang Yulang stood side by side on the third floor of the Zhuangyuan Building. They saw the lion dance team on the ground beating the gongs and drums, and the firecrackers were burning non-stop, while Xiao You and the two beasts made their grand entrance guarding the plaque.

    After using the ladder for a journey, Mr. Xiao You flew up to the second floor, hung the plaque up firmly, and then unveiled the red silk, and the flamboyant "Zhuangyuan Building" appeared in front of everyone.

    It attracted the amazement of the audience full of circles downstairs.

    Hearing the people's exclamations and exclamations, the smile on Zhang Yulang's face was brighter than ever.

    The reputation of the No. 1 Building was earned by him for Wan Wan himself. It was not until this time that he truly became the support of his wife and the backer for Wan Wan to gain a foothold in Capital City. He finally had the confidence to stand by her side., hand in hand.

    Zhang Yulang lowered his head and called out: "Wan Wan!"

    Chen Nianguan turned to Zhang Yulang with a pleasant smile on his face: "Husband, it's time to entertain your fellow scholars into the Zhuangyuan building!"

    "What the lady said is very true."

    Zhang Yulang smiled, and walked down the Zhuangyuan building. Chen Nianjian and Zeng Si, who had called for help, naturally followed down to greet the guests.

    On this day, for the convenience of going in and out, Chen Nianguan deliberately unlocked the normally locked doors on the first and second floors to clear the way for the Jinshi who came to the banquet.

    Standing at the gate of Zhuangyuan Building, Zhang Yulang and his party of three bowed to the fellow subjects who came to support him: "Thank you for your kindness, come here, please."

    The Xinke Scholars happily followed into the Zhuangyuan Building.

    Zhuangyuan Building, they are the first batch of people who set foot in the Zhuangyuan Building!

    I heard that the food in Chenjia Restaurant is fresh and exquisite, but it is a must-see food in Capital City. Today, thanks to Zhuangyuan Lang, can finally taste it for self.

    Chen Nianguan walked to the side of Chen's Restaurant early, went down to the first floor, and saw that there were bustling diners filling the entire lobby, and those who hadn't booked a table had to wait outside.

    The busyness of this day is comparable to the time when Chuchu opened!

    Chen Nianguan saw Shi Cunqi and his partners smiling cheerfully, but he couldn't help but crook his eyes.

    To this day, the Chen Family Restaurant is truly popular in Capital City, right?

    The unique champion building!

    Unique snacks and food!

    There is also a cart service that is the only one of its kind!

    Not only will it spread word of mouth along with many people in Capital City, but also the hundreds of Xinke Scholars, no matter where they go, they will never forget today's banquet in Zhuangyuan Building.

    Not to mention the family members behind the Jinshi in Beijing, they will come to the Chen Family Restaurant one after another out of curiosity in the future. With these Jinshi people going to the world, as long as they mention the Chen Family Restaurant, the name of the Chen Family Restaurant will be like that.Like dandelion seeds blown away, they spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty!

    very good!

    Chen Nianguan clenched his fists.

    Her goal of coming to Capital City to build the Chen Family Restaurant has been achieved.

    A Niang, as I said, I want to open a big restaurant in Capital City to make money from people in Kyoto, and now, I have finally done it.

    The next step is to save a lot of Wan Guan, then buy a mansion, and connect A Niang and Xuan Xuan into Capital City!

    It's time to make a big wave of money and expand your wallet.

    For several days after the Zhuangyuan Building plaque was hung, the Chen Family Restaurant was full of seats, and diners came in droves.

    After closing every day, Shi Cunqi, Fang Wulang and other small shopkeepers, who took stock of money and silver income, were full of emotion.

    The Chen Family Restaurant is amazing!

    Master Chen is also amazing!

    Master Chen's husband, Mr. Zhang, is even more amazing!

    The business of the Chen Family Restaurant is booming, and the people who work for the Chen Family Restaurant are overjoyed, and the partners are even more overjoyed.

    In order to thank Master Ming Hai for testifying impartially to Zhang Yulang, Liu Feng who went to the Great Buddha Temple to cook for Master Ming Hai today, and Xiao Qiye who finally found time to rest at the Great Buddha Temple yelled how good the business of the Chen Family Restaurant is recently.Waiting to collect a lot of money this month.

    "Oh, Chen's restaurant is so popular?"

    "That's right, especially after my cousin's husband won the first prize, more customers came to the Chen's restaurant. The emperor also loved houses and blacks, and liked our restaurant. When he was happy, he gave a plaque to the restaurant built by our cousin., called Zhuangyuan Building, tell me, how majestic is it?"

    Xiao Seventh Master was sipping tea, hearing Liu Feng's bragging, he almost spit out the whole mouthful of tea.

    "What did you say? The Zhuangyuan building was built by your cousin?"

    Xiao Seventh Master knew that Zhang Yulang was married, but he didn't delve into the matter of the first lady in the Jinshi family. This was the first time he heard that Zhang Yulang's wife was Liu Feng's cousin.

    By the way, this Zhang Yulang is from the Chuzhou Prefecture. Liu Feng and her cousin seem to be from the Chuzhou Prefecture as well?

    "That's right, my cousin has been building it for a while, and I'm just waiting for my cousin's husband to win the No. 1 Scholar Examination. Let's name that building the No. 1 Scholar Building!" Liu Feng only heard about it later.

    Ah!

    Xiao Seventh Master suddenly became subtle.

    In other words, he inscribed "Zhuangyuan Building" on Zhang Yulang, and solicited business for the Chen family restaurant. In disguise, isn't he just recruiting the restaurant he owns?

    Xiao Seventh Master, who encountered this kind of thing for the first time, found it very interesting.

    It is the first time that I can benefit myself from what I rewarded to my subordinates!

    I got about 600 taels in the first month of opening, about 1,000 taels in the second month, and how much in the third month?

    Xiao Seventh Master suddenly felt the joy of accumulating money and silver, and the expression on his face was very happy.

    Now the Chen Family Restaurant is very famous, and it has spread to the palace, but they don't know that I also have a part in this Chen Family Restaurant.

    Xiao Seventh Master showed a smug look, looked at Liu Feng and nodded.

    It seems that this dragon son, even if he started a restaurant, he has a lot of vision!

    "Liu Feng, when will you arrange for my Seventh Lord to have a feast in the Zhuangyuan Building?"

    "Hey, Seventh Master, you are going, I will definitely go back and tell my cousin that I will arrange it properly for you." Liu Feng assured with a pat on his chest.

    "Okay, when the date is settled, I will ask Liu Fuan to send someone to notify you!"

    After all, it is the restaurant he is partnering with, and it is so famous now that he wants to take a look in person.

    "Okay, when are you going, Seventh Master, tell us about it, and I will definitely introduce you to my cousin." Liu Feng smiled and agreed, and then looked at Liu Fuan, "Steward Liu, youAt that time, just come to Suchuan Road or Xianggui Street to find me."

    Liu Fuan smiled slightly, as a promise.

    After Liu Feng went back, he told Chen Nianguan about it, and Chen Nianguan naturally agreed.

    The Chen Family Restaurant can achieve today's achievements, it is indispensable for the partners to contribute money and efforts, Xiao Seventh Master is coming, he must be well entertained, at least it is the contacts in the Chen Family Restaurant Palace, so we can't neglect it.

    But wait for Xiao Seventh Master to come, you have to ask carefully, what is he doing in the palace, whether he is a big official, etc., we have to see if there is any place where he can make contributions to the Chen Family Restaurant!

    After Emperor Hong returned to the palace, he was very interested in Chen's restaurant, so he wanted to leave the palace in low clothes, but was persuaded by Liu Fuan.

    "Your Majesty, the Chen family restaurant is in the limelight right now. If you choose this opportunity to go, I'm afraid you will be easily recognized by others. That's a huge risk."

    Emperor Hong's excitement was suddenly poured with cold water.

    "According to what you say, I can't go to the Chen's restaurant? That's my restaurant, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes yet!"

    "Of course your Majesty can go, but this servant thinks that you hand-picked Zhang Yulang as the number one scholar, and gave the Chen Family Restaurant a calligraphy.Sheng, I'm afraid it will attract jealousy!"

    Emperor Hong thought for a while, and felt that what Liu Fuan said was reasonable, so he had to give up resentfully.

    However, the Chen Family Restaurant has the same limelight. When it became popular in the whole city, it has already attracted the envy of many colleagues.

    The worst among them is Uncle Shi from Yueman Building.

    "Shi Cunqi's life is really good!"

    No, he was kicked out of the Yueman Building, and he was in a slump for almost a year. He thought it was useless, but unexpectedly, he found Mrs. Chen and the Cang family to start the Chen family restaurant in partnership.

    It's nothing more than the success of the new restaurant. never thought that Mrs. Chen's husband won the first prize in the examination and won the calligraphy of the Holy Majesty. Who would not be envious of those in this line of work?

    However, even if you are envious, you have to be respectful on the surface, after all, there are Zhuangyuan Lang and the holy master's pen and ink to control the situation, as for privately...

    Uncle Shi called a few followers: "I told you to watch the movement in Ping'er Village, can you find anything?"

    "Boss, it's spring plowing now, and the guy in the second master's house is plowing the land and sowing seeds!" said the attendant who was in charge of following Ping'er Village, "There are also chicken farms, duck sheds, and chicken and duck from Chen's restaurant.The food is all supplied from Pinger Village."

    "You guys, give me..." Uncle Shi called them and muttered something.

    He sneered twice when he saw his entourage leading the way.

    So what if he is the number one scholar?So what if there is the calligraphy of the emperor Lao Tzu?

    If the ingredients are not available at that time, the food in the Chen family restaurant will be unsustainable. Let's see if they can still make a living!
