happy rebirth

The night was getting dark, but the candles in the Shuanggui Courtyard hadn't been extinguished yet.

Shuangguiyuan was not called this name originally, but Zhang, the current mistress of Qingyang Houfu, saw the two osmanthus trees in the yard and thought it was very auspicious, so she changed the name of the yard.Mrs. Zhang is filling in a house. She was originally the daughter of a seventh-rank petty official. Her knowledge is limited and her methods are not very powerful.Over the years, Zhang's father barely climbed to the fifth rank with the help of Xie Houye, his son-in-law. Because of his limited ability, he couldn't continue to climb up.

Xie Houye's first wife, Mrs. Chen, was the daughter of his master when he was studying. That master had a clear name but no official position.After Mrs. Chen died of dystocia, it took several years for Master Xie to remarry Mrs. Zhang. He probably considered that Ms. Zhang's natal family status was not high and would not be detrimental to the eldest son Xie Chunying.

Mrs. Zhang removed the golden hairpin from her head, and complained to her confidant maid, "It's just a concubine... The fourth one is fine this time. I don't know how beautiful the wedding night is, but my son is still kneeling in the ancestral hall because of his exhaustion." Now that Master Hou is still alive, where is it his turn to stand up and teach the younger brothers?"

Mrs. Zhang's words were a bit vulgar. She blamed Xie Si and Xie Da, but she was even more dissatisfied with Xie Da in her words.

Then again, among the stepmothers in this world, how many children can look pleasing to the original spouse?It's okay to be like Mrs. Zhang. Although she is a bit selfish, she doesn't have much scheming. She usually just complains to the maid in private. She never dares to show any dissatisfaction in front of Xie Da.This time, it was only because Xie San was rewarded with a board and punished to kneel in the ancestral hall by Xie San that she felt so unhappy.

Xie San is Zhang's lifeblood!

The confidant maid took a small comb to help Mrs. Zhang relax her scalp.

Mrs. Zhang suddenly thought of something again, and said: "I vaguely remember that there is another sentence in the verdict of Master Fa Yan, such as Yan in the old days. Could it mean that the fourth child does not have this blessing and cannot bear the wealth of the Hou's mansion, so he must Sorted out? What can he do at that age?"

As long as the topic doesn't fall on Xie Da, the servant girl dares to answer the conversation, and said with a smile: "Blessing is something that everyone has."

Mrs. Zhang was very proud of hearing this, and said: "Yes, what blessings can they have? It is a blessing to be reborn into my stomach and become a legitimate son! But, if he is really separated, don't wait until that time." Make people mistakenly think that I am not kind, and think that I want to deliberately trample on the concubine."

"Who in Beijing doesn't know that Madam is the most merciful? Even Princess Dejun respects Madam very much, who would dare to say something bad about Madam without conscience?" The servant girl still smiled lively.The Princess Dejun she mentioned refers to the eldest lady in the mansion, who is the younger sister of Xie Dayi's compatriots.

Mrs. Zhang was shallow-minded, and was elated by the servant girl's praise.She was beautiful for a while, but when she thought of her son who was still kneeling in the ancestral hall, she became depressed again.Although it is March in Yangchun, it is still a bit cold at night. What if my son kneels and breaks his knee?Mrs. Zhang decided to send some warm quilts to her son for warm food.It's just that she had delivered the wound medicine once before, so she didn't dare to deliver it openly this time, so she had to send someone to deliver it secretly.

Xie San, who was worried by Mrs. Zhang, fell asleep in the ancestral hall.Well, he already has a quilt, it must have been sent by the eldest brother who asked the second brother.

Ke Qi nestled in the chair all night.

Xie Jinhua asked Li Yang to make the bed, and Li Yang was obedient, so he made the bed naturally.However, as long as Ke Qi was a little further away from Xie Jinhua, Xie Jinhua would cough again.Ke Qi simply sat in the chair beside the bed and accompanied Xie Jinhua.This chair is very big, and Ke Qi has not grown into the 1.8-meter tall appearance of his previous life, so he can lean on the chair with his whole body, and when he can't stand it anymore and wants to sleep, he can sleep like this.

His father died and got married in one day, so it is supposed to be a sleepless night, but Ke Qi is big-hearted. Seeing that Xie Jinhua is a very easy-going person, he doesn't worry much about the days ahead.Anyway, father is dead, marriage is over, but life still has to go on.In Ke Qi's plan, he planned to study hard and then take the imperial examination.This plan has not changed from the beginning to the end.

What can people who time travel do in ancient times?

Unless the time traveler carries something that can protect him, such as a plane changer, a portable fairy house, etc. like in some novels, Ke Qi still dare not use the knowledge beyond the times in his heart.He is still underage and has been living under the watchful eyes of his family. Once some behaviors lose their sense of proportion, he may die without a place to bury him if he hits a heresy sentence.And because Ke Qi's life is far from being difficult enough to swallow vegetables, he always feels that the most important thing he needs to do is to study, and then work hard to get a reputation.

Ke Qi has the self-control and comprehension of an adult. As long as he works hard, he feels that it is easy to get the title of scholar. But in any case he has to work towards this goal.

Non-jinshi do not enter the Imperial Academy, non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet, no one knows that Ke Qi is actually ambitious.

Many customs and systems of the An Dynasty followed the old rules of the previous dynasty, and the officialdom of the previous dynasty was a bit like the Ming Dynasty officialdom and Tang Dynasty officialdom mixed together in the time and space before Ke Qi traveled.At this time, there are not only the sayings that non-jinshi do not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin do not enter the cabinet, but also the saying that Lizhou and counties do not plan to be Taiwan provinces.From the perspective of Ke Qi's traveler, considering the particularity of the times, such an official system is quite reasonable.

Xie Jinhua slept until dawn, no wind, no dreams, no dreams and no pain.

When he opened his eyes and saw the light, he was in a daze.

After a while, he realized what was happening and grabbed Ke Qi's hand tightly.

The two of them held hands all night, and their palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat.

That's... that's how you survived?

Ke Qi didn't know that Xie Jinhua's heart was complicated at this time. Seeing that Xie Jinhua woke up, he immediately asked with concern: "What do you think? Are you hungry or thirsty?" In Ke Qi's view, Xie Jinhua is completely a child, Regardless of their other identities, as an adult, he should also take care of him.

Hearing Ke Qi's voice, Li Yang rubbed his eyes and woke up immediately.He is very alert and can wake up at the slightest sign of trouble.

"I... survived?" Xie Jinhua murmured.

Although Xie Jinhua's voice was very soft, Li Yang still heard it, and answered without thinking: "Master! You will be fine!"

Knowing that Xie Jinhua woke up, the door opened, and a group of people came in quietly. There were many servants inside, and they had been guarding outside the room all night.The house was divided into inner and outer rooms, most of these people stayed in the outer room, Brother Xie only brought an old doctor into the inner room.

Ke Qi wanted to take the initiative to get out of the way, but Xie Jinhua was still holding his hand, so he just turned sideways.

Brother Xie looked at Xie Jinhua's face, wondering if it was a psychological effect, he always felt that Xiao Si's face was much better.When the imperial physician felt Xie Jinhua's pulse, Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua's hand was finally loosened.Ke Qi avoided it, and his eyes coincidentally fell on the candle beside the bed.

If a man and a woman get married, the wedding candle should look like a dragon and a phoenix.Because two men got married this time, the two wedding candles in front of Ke Qi's eyes were made in the shape of coiling dragons.At this moment, the two candles are almost burnt out, leaving a short section, only a little bit of gold-painted dragon scales can be seen.It is said that when newlyweds wake up in the morning, they will see how well the two candles are burning. If one of them goes out first, then whoever will ascend to the fairyland first will be the one in the future.

Such a statement is of course unreasonable.

However, this does not prevent people from giving it a little romantic meaning.Just like in modern society, some people like to use DR diamond ring to tell their lover, "You are the only one in my life", because this kind of diamond ring can only be purchased with ID card, and only one can be customized in a lifetime.At this time, some couples also like to wake up early on the second day of the wedding. They keep two candles together, and then when one of them is about to go out, one of them quickly puts out the other candle representing himself. Blowing out, they are using this way to express their determination to live and die together in this life.

Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua don't need to be like this, they are still very strangers at this time.

"...The young master is fine, but he still needs to be taken care of carefully. This old man will prescribe a medicine for him." The imperial doctor dropped a bunch of book bags. A sign of tree blooming.From the extinction of life to the recovery of life, only one night passed.

Xie Da breathed a sigh of relief.Although Xiao Si is still weak, since the imperial physician is willing to prescribe medicine for him, it means that Xiao Si will definitely be able to recover well.You have to know how many imperial physicians they hired before, some people dared to prescribe medicine at first, but later, all the imperial physicians were beaten to death and dared not write.

Li Yang followed the old doctor to get the prescription, Xie Da sat by the bed.

Xie Da said to Ke Qi: "You... are fine." He is not usually a person who likes to smile very much, and the nasolabial folds on his face are a little obvious.Although he tried his best to smile at Ke Qi at this time, it would be better if he didn't smile like that. When he didn't smile, he was clearly a beautiful uncle!

Ke Qi hastily said a few self-deprecating words.

Xie Jinhua took the opportunity to say: "Brother, Brother Ke took care of me all night...he is still at the age of entering school, so don't delay." He remembered very clearly that when he chatted with Ke Qi last night, when Ke Qi heard that he could follow Hou He was obviously a little happy that the masters in the mansion went to study.

Xie Da thought for a while and said: "The third child is naughty again. He was injured two days ago and is now being raised in his own yard. The mansion took advantage of the opportunity to give the husband a holiday. Why don't you wait a little longer and spend ten years In half a day, the third child has been raised, and you have been raised too, so the three of you can go to school together."

Ke Qi quickly expressed his thanks again.

Xie Dao: "Since you followed Xiaosi and called me big brother, you don't have to be so polite. The household registration is not done yet, right? In two days, I will ask Manager Lin to accompany you to the yamen. He is the inner courtyard of the mansion. Manager, if you have anything to do in the future, you can ask him to do it.” Xie Da didn’t take the opportunity to tease Ke Qi in his words, because Ke Qi and Xiao Si lived under his nose, and Ke Qi would definitely not Dare to treat Xiao Si badly.

Ke Qi then called Big Brother in a condescending manner.

The candle had burned to the end, and the little flame struggled unwillingly, and then quickly extinguished.Ke Qi subconsciously looked at the other candle, but in the blink of an eye, this one also went out.It seems that the two candles have such a tacit understanding, they are so compatible.
