Jing Xingzhi's ancient daily life

Liu Fang sent away the two candidates, Jing Xingzhi and Wu Mingrui, and was about to close the door and go back to catch up on sleep, when the figure of the mother in charge and mother Zhang next to the princess appeared at the entrance of the alley.

Zhang's mother took a look, smiled and said: "Is this already gone? I hurried, but it was too late, and I didn't get the joy of Mr. Jing Wenquxing!"

"Mother Zhang was joking, why is it so early? Actually, there is no need to come." Liu Fang always felt that the princess's overtures were strange.

The reason is very simple, and I haven't met, and I keep giving you things, so don't panic if you change it? !

That is to say, it is the kind of practice that is always taken the initiative to make friends with, so it is not very strange, and I am used to it.

Liu Fang fixed his eyes on Zhang's mother and released the pressure on her.

It was not easy to come out of the palace so early.

Aware of his doubts, Zhang's mother explained with a smile: "I am not here to send Mr. Jing off specially this time. Our princess and concubine remembered the oil that removed the lines on the stomach when she was pregnant, so I sent it to you." Woolen cloth.

After sending it to your place, I have to go to the mansion, and our mother's sister-in-law will also get a share.

After delivering the things, I have to busy with a banquet later, so I won't bother you. "

Mother Zhang delivered the things and left without delay.

Liu Fang looked at Mama Zhang's unhesitating back, raised her eyebrows, and wondered if she was really suspicious.

After thinking for a while, Liu Fang felt sleepy, so he simply went back to sleep.

The sky and the earth are big, and now they are not as big as his body's needs.

Liu Fang's stomach has been more than nine months old, and the mansion (the midwife's brother-in-law version) and the doctor who will be invited to give birth have all been found in the mansion.

When Jing Xingzhi went out for the exam, Liu Fang promised him that he should eat and drink at home, and don't inquire about the exam, just stay at home.

Jing Xingzhi never expected that the expected date of delivery and the exam period would be mixed together!

I was so angry that I wished I could take the exam on another day.

He originally wanted to accompany Liu Fang to have a baby, so he insisted on bringing Liu Fang to the capital after a lot of tossing.

Although it was not his birth, at least he was there to prevent accidents from happening, and he was able to help.

But it happened to happen, and it was impossible for Jing Xingzhi not to take the exam, so he could only hope that he would catch up after the exam.

Jing Xingzhi, who was walking on the way to the exam, was thinking:

cub!Come out when you pick a daddy!

******

On the other side, after delivering the things, Zhang's mother restrained her smile and went to Yangbo Mansion, the princess's natal family.

Ms. Zhang didn't understand why the Crown Princess insisted on sending things to Mr. Jing's mansion.

Although Mr. Jing is the Holy Majesty's junior martial uncle, Mama Zhang doesn't think that this junior martial uncle is more honorable than their prince.

The people of the royal family have already reached their peak, how can they still interact with people in such a flattering manner?

Like her mother Zhang, she hasn't been with such a smiling face for many years.That little husband still looks at him reluctantly, he really thinks he is a character!

Zhang's mother cursed in her heart, she had already arrived at the Chengyang uncle's mansion, which was the natal home of the princess concubine.

In the Chengyang uncle's mansion, the treatment that Zhang's mother received was not Liu Fang's scrutiny, but countless flattery. Even Mrs. Uncle smiled kindly at her.

The treatment of both parties made Zhang's mother even more puzzled.

Back in the palace, Zhang's mother couldn't help but asked the crown princess Dong: "Madam, that Mr. Jing is obviously helping the second prince, why do we keep sending him things?"

Dong's face is rather long, not the current favorite round face shape, but her facial features are well decorated, there is a sense of alienation between her eyebrows, she looks like a noble person.

Mrs. Dong nodded Zhang's mother's forehead: "It is because he helped His Highness the Second Highness that we have to make good friends with him. But if our prince makes good friends, the emperor will not let him go."

Mother Zhang thought about it and suddenly realized.

The Empress Ganqing wanted to use the Holy Majesty's fear to abolish that Young Master Jing who helped the Second Highness!

"Your Majesty is really smart! I thought about it all the time."

"It's not that I'm smart, it's my concubine's idea." Dong smiled: "After I go to see my mother later, let's dye my nails light pink today."

The maid who was in charge of dyeing her nails rushed to prepare things and dyed the princess's nails a new color.

Letting her hands be dressed by many people, Dong's eyes fell on the flowers and plants outside through the window.

Zhang's mother has Zhang's mother's confusion, and she also has her own confusion.

Since befriending good people will make the emperor jealous, why does the concubine mother keep asking the prince to befriend those ministers?Wasn't it in vain to make the father suspicious?

The prince is both the eldest son and the elder, as long as there are no mistakes, who can take the place of the prince?

Dong Shi is a book lover, and she has figured out all these things.But it was just bored in my heart, and I didn't mention it to the prince who was filial to the queen.

******

The test was held, and many yamen servants and city guards in the capital were transferred to the vicinity of the Gongyuan.

The number of soldiers defending the city has decreased by one-third.

Two rows of soldiers guarded the gate, and while checking the people entering the city, they began to enviously discuss those lords who raised people.

Not long after, the sun climbed higher, and the rare bright sun shone on the earth.

A group of tall horses in armor neighed and ran towards the gate of the city, engulfing a billowing wave of yellow dust.

The soldiers were dumbfounded, thinking that being a soldier would be like this, it would be much more beautiful than those juren lords!

Those chaotic thoughts were swept away, and the soldiers in front put down their guns to block the way, and loudly questioned the leader of the cavalry: "Which sir is this person? Tell me your name!"

The soldier running farthest back shouted back: "The Marquis of Zhenyuan returns to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit!"

"Please stop, you can only enter the city after checking the person."

Hearing that it was the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the soldiers put away those guns and asked them to get off their horses to check.

Ning Haibo was in the middle of the 20-member team, and he got off his horse with a cold face when he reached the gate of the city.

The soldiers saw that his face was so dark that they let them in after recognizing the person and the badge, and even worried that something happened in the frontier.

A well-informed soldier said: "It's not that something happened in the frontier, it's something happened in Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion!"

"What's the matter? Why haven't we heard?"

"I've heard it from people too, so don't spread it. Let me tell you that it was Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou who fell into the water and was not cured. She went crazy..."

"I didn't believe it at first, but Marquis Zhenyuan didn't come back for Chinese New Year, but now he came back. It wasn't for his wife, what else could it be for?"

The soldiers were taken aback, and then exchanged gossip about other Zhenyuanhou's mansions in twos and threes.

Ning Haibo's cavalry went all the way outside the palace, but after entering the palace, he was alone, without a horse, so he could only go forward in a sedan chair.

Ning Haibo was in a bad mood, he didn't expect Wu Shuangxi to encounter such a disaster at such a young age.

Wu Shuangxi was born in a poor family, so it can be said that he has nothing to do with a general like Ning Haibo.

An accident made him meet the girl from back then, and from then on, his heart fell on her.

Ning Haibo's mind was elsewhere, although the battle situation reported to Li Yunxi was good, it didn't make him smile.

Li Yunxi does know his suffering, but Li Yunxi has a younger brother who is closer, and he is partial.

Li Yunxi said: "Ning Aiqing, since you have come back this trip, you should finish handling the family affairs before leaving. I feel very sorry for you for what happened back then. My dear son is living outside."

Ning Haibo nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, I plan to leave this time after I've dealt with it. I may stay two days longer than the limited three days in Beijing. Forgive me, Your Majesty."

"It's okay, you can go." Li Yunxi waved his hand, indicating that Ning Haibo could go home.

Ning Haibo knelt down and thanked the king, then left the palace, rode on a big horse and led the people back to Zhenyuanhou's mansion.

*****

Zhenyuanhou Mansion.

Mrs. Ning brought Ning Yongyuan to wait at the gate, so that she could see her son who did not come home during the Chinese New Year at the first time.

Old Madam Ning was both happy and worried, and complained to Ning Yongyuan: "Do you think he will blame me for that woman Wu Shuangxi when he comes back? This has nothing to do with my old woman."

In the early years of fighting between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the old lady found out that her son was the one who suffered the most, so she simply endured it and left the power in the mansion to let Wu Shuangxi take charge.

During the fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wu Shuangxi didn't use his son to poke her old woman's heart.Fortunately, she retreated to advance, and completely stabilized her alignment in her son's heart in one fell swoop.

Mrs. Ning recalled the past, and the young and beautiful Wu Shuangxi's face flashed before her eyes.

Such a beautiful woman, no wonder men like it so much.

Madam Ning was thinking about it when she heard the sound of horseshoes in her ears. She raised her head happily and looked at the alley where the sound of horseshoes was getting louder.

Different from the complete expectation of the old grandmother, Ning Yongyuan not only did not expect it, but even wanted to run away.

Ning Yongyuan didn't want to see Ning Haibo at all.

The man he once regarded as a glory has nothing to do with him now, and he might still hate his "false son".

The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, Ning Yongyuan lowered his head lower and lower, wishing he could hide himself in the ground.

Ning Haibo stopped his horse, dismounted with a "bang", and knelt down in front of Mrs. Ning.

Ning Haibo raised his head, his eyes were slightly red and said: "Mother, the child is not filial, and he went home once during the Chinese New Year. Thinking about it, I feel pain in my heart..."

Mrs. Ning hurriedly pulled him up, and touched Ning Haibo's much rougher face with wrinkled hands: "My son is fighting for the country, righteousness! Mother knows, get up quickly."

Seeing the anxious expression on the old woman's face, Ning Haibo got up obediently.

Then Ning Haibo glanced at Ning Yongyuan, who was bowing his head, and patted Ning Yongyuan's thin shoulder with his big hand: "Why are you bowing your head? What good things are there on the ground, which made Yongyuan lose his eyes."

Ning Yongyuan's eyes were wet with tears for a moment, he sniffed, turned his head and said: "No, there is nothing good."

Ning Haibo sighed silently in his heart, then smiled and said, "Go in, it's windy outside."

Into the mansion.

I don't know if it's a matter of mood, but Ning Haibo always feels that the Marquis' Mansion in Norway is a little more empty.

He thought about it in a trance, only to realize that the spring in the capital has not yet arrived, so this is the scene.

I sat down in the old lady's yard and drank two sips of tea.Ning Haibo couldn't help asking: "Mother, is she in the main courtyard?"

"In the main courtyard, I went to see it every day, and the maids took good care of it." The old lady hurriedly said.

"Then..." Ning Haibo stood up, "Then son, go and have a look."

"Okay, you can go and have a look." Mrs. Ning sighed and agreed.

Ning Haibo thought for a while, then waved to Ning Yongyuan: "You come too."

Ning Yongyuan hesitated for a moment, then stood up and followed Ning Haibo's pace.

Two men, one big and one small, entered the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion together.

The main courtyard is very large. After stepping through one door after another and walking through several roads, the two of them walked to the innermost one and entered the small courtyard.

Across a wall, you can hear the familiar voice inside.

The woman's voice was softer than ever, humming softly to lull children to sleep.

"Be good, be good, go to sleep quickly, go to sleep quickly..."

Ning Yongyuan's pupils dilated unconsciously, and fragments of his own childhood flashed before his eyes.

——At that time, someone also sang this song to him, and he fell asleep after listening to it softly, and fell asleep.

But it wasn't Wu Shuangxi, Ning Yongyuan couldn't remember the details to prove and distinguish, only remembered that the singing was very gentle.

And Ning Haibo's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.He listened for a while, then stepped forward and opened the door.

The door was pushed open with a creaking sound.

The woman dressed neatly inside but with a crooked bun hugged the quilt in her arms and took a step back, glaring at the person coming.

He stared twice, as if he recognized someone.

The woman hugged the quilt and approached Ning Haibo: "Hai Bo, you're back!"

"Look, does the baby look like you? This nose, this mouth. But the eyes are like mine."

Ning Haibo looked at it for a while, but couldn't see where the nose and eyes came from on the little quilt, so he could only nod his head in a muffled voice: "Like."

After getting Ning Haibo's response, the woman looked at Ning Yongyuan strangely again: "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

Ning Yongyuan looked at Wu Shuangxi who had completely changed, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to answer, so he simply didn't say a word.

Do you say that I was carried by you, or that I am your son?

Seeing that Wu Shuangxi was ignored, Ning Haibo put his arms around Wu Shuangxi's shoulders and said to her, "It's cold outside, take the baby inside."

After talking with Wu Shuangxi for a while, Ning Haibo found that the other party's memory was a bit confused, but his basic mental state and feelings stayed in the year of childbirth, which is why he was obsessed with the child.

Because Wu Shuangxi was more important in his heart, Ning Haibo couldn't care about dealing with the two real and fake sons for a while, so he asked the doctor first.

The doctor, Mrs. Ning, has visited many people, and the imperial physician in the palace has also invited several people.

But Ning Haibo was in charge of the family, so it was more convenient to invite people, so he directly invited the imperial physician from the imperial hospital to the mansion.

The old doctor had a goatee, and he stroked his beard to worry: "Master Hou, Mrs. Hou's problem has been seen by many colleagues, and it is not curable, and it is the same with me.

The cold air enters the brain, and the obsession has been stagnated in the bottom of my heart for many years. Taking medicine is basically useless. "

Ning Haibo asked carefully: "I heard that taking such a patient to see the people and things in the past, she will recall a lot of memories, and then regain consciousness. I don't know if this method is feasible?"

"There are such examples, but they are also very few. It may be that a lot of effort has been spent and it is still useless."

The old doctor was shaking his head, and said: "Besides, Mrs. Hou's situation is different."

"She has obsessions. How about... Master Hou starts with her obsessions, which must be more effective than the previous method."

"However, whether this method is effective or not depends on fate. It may make people more abnormal. I'm afraid it will be, I'm afraid it will be worse."

The other doctors also knew this truth, but some didn't dare to say it, and some did. The old lady didn't think about forcing her real grandson here.

Ning Yong went to ask about it, but the old lady thought that Jing Xingzhi didn't want it and let it go.

With the meeting that gave way last time, Mrs. Ning's impression of her real grandson is not bad.

Now that the question is on Ning Haibo's side, he doesn't need to ask what is in his heart.

"I see. Thank you, Yizheng. Please come and take a look at that time. If the situation improves, you can prescribe medicine or give an injection."

Ning Haibo lowered his head slightly, and said: "If it doesn't improve, it's her fate."

"Master Hou will work hard for the country, and the old man will come."

******

Beijing Gongyuan.

Both the general examination and the rural examination are divided into three examinations.The first game is on the ninth day, the second game is on the twelfth day, and the third game is on the fifteenth day.

Jing Xingzhi entered the Gongyuan in the middle of the night on the eighth day of the lunar new year.

After getting all the test papers for the first round, Jing Xingzhi scanned all the questions, and suddenly a dangerous idea came to his mind.

——Can I hand in the papers in advance?

Jing Xingzhi looked through the ancient version of the syllabus, and found that Li Chao's version did not have a requirement not to submit the papers in advance.

However, the test is so important that everyone seems to agree that it is not allowed to hand in the papers too early.I am afraid that handing in the papers in advance will leave the examiner with a frivolous impression, which will affect the grades.

But Jing Xingzhi pondered, his husband is going to have a baby, isn't this situation special enough?

Moreover, the character set of affection and righteousness is also very popular in Li Chao's official circles.

It seems beautiful to be able to go home and be with Xiao Fangfang, and gain a good reputation? !

Jing Xingzhi looked at the test paper, his eyes glowed, and he lit the lamp without going to sleep, and started to work on the questions.

In the room next door to Jing Xingzhi, there was an old-timer who knew how to try.

The old Youtiao listened to the sound of the test paper next door, and slandered in his heart: If you are in such a hurry, you look like a young man!

Now start to do the questions at night, and later in the day will be too sleepy, and the work and rest will be reversed, which will naturally affect the test results.

With this in mind, Lao Youtiao tidied up his bedding and prepared to go to sleep.

Who knew that Jing Xingzhi next door kept moving, and the sound of the fast and fine rubbing of pen and paper made Lao Youtiao lie down for a long time before falling asleep.

And even when he fell asleep, the old fried dough stick also had a dream about being able to try.

But this dream was beautiful, the old You Tiao dreamed that he had won the Juren, and the little boy next door didn't (that is, Jing Xingzhi), and the little boy who didn't win the Jinshi cried very sadly.

When Lao Youtiao woke up, he was in a good mood.

However, he was startled by the sound of writing next to his ears, which made him a little suspicious that he was not asleep at all?

Otherwise, why wake up and the next door is still working on the problem? !

Regardless of the skeptical life of the old fried dough stick, Jing Xing's pen is as good as it is, one question after another.

According to the rules, first make a draft, then sort out and correct typos, and then copy it neatly onto the answer sheet.

According to the regulations, there must be an answer on the draft roll, otherwise Jing Xingzhi would rather skip this step.

From night to morning, and from morning until the sun rises to the sky.

After finishing two questions, Lao Youtiao was so tired that he wanted to take a rest, but found that he was still around!

The old fried dough stick is shocked, don't you need to rest?

Who is next door? !Please also report your name!

The old fried dough stick was shocked, and the fellow examiners who made the rounds were about to drop their jaws in shock.

A fellow examiner came and knocked on Jing Xingzhi's door. Seeing Jing Xingzhi's tender face, he kindly reminded him: "The first exam will take three days, so I have time to think."

Jing Xingzhi raised his head, his eyes were clear and sincere: "My lord, there is something at home. The student's husband is about to give birth. There is no one at home, and the student wants to finish the exam early and go back early. But I have been writing the exam questions seriously, and I have never neglected them." treat!"

When the examiner heard it, he was also surprised.

He didn't know Jing Xingzhi, and he thought it was really unlucky for this little man to encounter such a thing.

It is indeed dangerous to give birth to a child. It is normal for a good man who values ​​love and righteousness to be worried.

The examiner encouraged Jing Xingzhi: "Then take the test hard, and I will tell the inspector, and the inspector will understand you."

It means that you can leave early after finishing the test papers. I told the inspector that your impression points will not be deducted!

However, this fellow examiner left early, just a little earlier. After all, the test paper is difficult and requires a lot of words.

"Thank you, sir!" Jing Xingzhi was overjoyed, he got up and respectfully bowed to the middle-aged fellow examiner.

The official stamped papers have been handed in ahead of time.

With official permission, Jing Xingzhi took the questions more seriously.

Because he had another dangerous idea... Finished today?Can I leave today? !

Anyway, he is the emperor's younger brother, and now he has the official seal, so he is not afraid of the limitations of the bullshit point of view that "handing in papers has long been a contempt for the exam".

The more he values ​​love and righteousness, the happier "Second Senior Brother".

There are reasons for things to happen, and we are not afraid of peer criticism.

Obviously a dangerous idea...but very feasible!

Jing Xingzhi was very moved, so he didn't eat any food. It was too slow to prepare the food, and he could write half a big question even if he had the time to cook.

At noon, Jing Xingzhi ate two bites of pancakes.Smelling the aroma next door, I was a little envious, but after swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, I sat down again and continued to do the questions.

The old fried dough stick next door feels that he is a bit bad, and has time to eat and sleep.

And the little boy next door was in a hurry to go back to take care of her husband who gave birth, so Lao Youtiao specially picked the least delicious dish and warmed it up for himself.

Lao Youtiao thought to himself, this is probably the greatest love he has for his fellow examiners next door.

The movement of Jing Xingzhi here also caused many examiners to turn here, wanting to see what this student looks like, and to talk about new topics with other colleagues when they go back.

Looking at it again and again, someone really recognized Jing Xingzhi, so that Jing Xingzhi's name was hung in front of the Inspector.

The school inspector Su Mingyuan was sitting drinking tea, thinking: This Jing Xingzhi is indeed a good boy, I saw him right.

Lao Fang, that old thing, was also lucky to pick such a good disciple with good character.

But Lao Fang worked so hard to teach, and he was not as happy as the old man sitting here.

I don't have to do anything, old man, this child will also be my disciple of Su Mingyuan from now on!

Just one word for your mood, cool~

The senior supervisor in the upper seat laughed for some reason, and the assistant examiners and fellow examiners below also laughed together.With a good mind, he paid more attention to Jing Xingzhi.

So on the evening of the ninth day of the ninth day, the setting sun was just right, and the place where the entire examiner group was located exploded.

——It’s only been a day since the exam, and someone has handed in the paper!

The first case in the entire Li Dynasty!

Even those Juren who fall ill will not fall on the first day of the first round.

You ask why the examinee handed in the paper on the first day?

oh.My husband is about to have a baby, so he spent one day in a hurry to finish the three-day questions!

In this case, should Jing Xingzhi be released or not?

The assistant examiner and fellow examiners who received the news were stunned.

We just let you go earlier, to gain a reputation of being reasonable, why are you so early? !
