Daiyu's stepmother is not easy to be

But it is said that the seventh day of April is Wen Jiao's birthday.Because Lin Hai was too busy to forget Wen Jiao's birthday last year, even though he made up for it at the end, it wasn't that day after all.

Although Wen Jiao didn't blame Lin Hai, Daiyu talked to Lin Hai several times in private because of this matter.When Lin Hai thinks about it now, he always feels that he owes Wen Jiao.

So this year Lin Hai prepared a birthday gift for Wen Jiao early.After he was released from the tribute courtyard, he was very active in planning who would be invited to Wen Jiao's birthday party.

Wen Jiao, one, is pregnant and lazy to socialize with outsiders, while the other is neither old nor young, just an ordinary birthday, and does not want to make public.

So even though Lin Hai was so attentive, she only invited her natal sister-in-laws Liu and Han, plus Mrs. Li.In addition, these gentlemen, mothers, and children at home can also sit at three tables.

On the seventh day of the fourth lunar month, all the guests arrived, and everyone had seen each other. Empress Su rewarded her with something from the palace again, saying that she would like to congratulate her sister on her birthday.

Now Jingzhong didn't know that Mrs. Su's birthday was in the Minister of Justice's family, but he knew it too.

It's just that you rush to congratulate someone's house now, not to mention that it's inconvenient to receive you because his wife is pregnant, even if it's convenient for him, it seems that you are too obsequious.

So a little later, many posts and congratulatory gifts were received on the door.Wen Jiao didn't have time to take a closer look, so he ordered to put it away first.

The Liu family and the Han family heard Wen Jiao say that Mrs. Li's daughter was sent to run for election, and Wen Jiao obviously didn't take such a path, but they still looked at Mrs. Li highly.

With people of their status, there are too many people who want to curry favor with them.

It's rare to meet such a person who doesn't care about her relationship, so I was very curious, so I chatted with her a few more words.

Although Mrs. Li is not from a wealthy family, her husband is not a high-ranking official.But he is indeed the most upright person, with a deep understanding of etiquette and righteousness, and a good command of poetry and books.

Therefore, after chatting for a few words, both Liu Shi and Han Shi admired Mrs. Li quite a lot.In addition, almost all the guests at the table were from their own family members, so after the whole day, the guests and hostess enjoyed themselves very much.

At noon, "outsiders" were invited to have fun, and in the evening, Lin Haiwen, Jiao Daiyu's family of three had a small banquet in the main courtyard.

After two or three months of careful preparation, Lin Hai made a fu to praise Wen Jiao.

Daiyu was very curious at the side, but she also knew that no evil should be seen, so she suppressed her curiosity and didn't go up to look at it.He also praised Lin Hai for his performance much better than last year.

Wen Jiao secretly read it by herself, the whole article was full of beautiful words, which made her blush and heartbeat.

The handsome guy who was third in the national examination and is now appointed as the deputy examiner of the general examination. He is almost one of the most talented people in the country. I'm really a little flustered.

She was pregnant and did not drink alcohol, but she felt dizzy after the banquet and her face was very hot.

After changing clothes and washing, seeing that there was no one else in the room, Wen Jiao took this Fu and asked in Lin Hai's ear, "Is this a love letter written by Ru Hai to me?"

Lin Hai only felt that the roots of his ears were getting hot.I wasn't embarrassed when I wrote it, but now I became ashamed, and I only answered "yes" vaguely.

Seeing his reluctance, Wen Jiao shook out the love letter, spread it out in front of Lin Hai, kissed him and said, "Then Ru Hai read it to me, okay?"

Lin Hai stammered: "This...what is this..."

Wen Jiao put his arms around him and said, "Ru Hai only wrote it to praise me, and I wrote it all, and now I'm here, so what if Ru Hai read it again?"

Lin Hai folded those pages and put them in Wen Jiao's hands.With a bit of embarrassment on his face, he sighed slightly, and seriously told Wen Jiao the love words he had silently recited thousands of times in his heart.

Wen Jiao watched Lin Hai's lips opening and closing, her voice was low and charming, and every word she said made her heart beat endlessly.

Looking up, I just feel that his eyes are more attractive than Xinghe.

Wen Jiao was completely intoxicated.

On this day, the emperor went to Jia Guipin's Huayang Palace.When Empress Su had time, she sat down with several high-ranking female officials in Changle Palace, discussing the election.

The brochure in Queen Su's hand is very detailed, not only recording the birth names and ages of the [-] beautiful women, but also the specialties of each exam.

It also records who everyone has a good relationship with, daily habits, what kind of clothes and jewelry they like to wear, whether they go out to play or stay in the house after class, etc.There's even a list of some of the conversations the girls had with their friends.

Empress Su was holding the booklet Xue Baochai, she read it and closed it and said, "This Xue Baochai is excellent in character and talent, but unfortunately her brother is a dude. However, she really has a good relative."

Liandong recalled: "Yes, if the second lady didn't stop her, I'm afraid that Miss Xue would have been sent home just like Miss Qin."

Empress Su nodded, and flipped through Xue Baochai's booklet in her hand from beginning to end, and sighed: "He is indeed a good boy, it would be a pity not to keep it. For the time being, it will be reserved for praise and kindness, and I will read it after I personally read it." .”

Liandong replied: "Yes." Then he picked up his pen and wrote a stroke.I thought, Miss Xue is good, but it's a pity that the family is not up to date, no matter how good she is, she can't be placed with the princess.

It's really good to read it at that time, so I will read it as a companion for Princess Huiyun or Princess Huichun.The two princesses don't have parents, but they have a false name, and they don't have much power to lend to the Xue family, and they are about the same age.

Miss Xue has such a good character, it is really suitable for the two princesses, no one can say that the empress treats the princesses badly.

On the tenth day of April, after the forty girls went through 20 days of cultural training at the Literature Center, and the education of the palace rules and regulations of the palace officials and ministers who were in charge of the palace rules and punishments, it was decided whether they could stay in the palace for the last day. The first round of assessment, the empress personally read it, began in the front hall of Changle Palace.

The eldest princess born to the concubine Zhou is seven years old this year, and the first princess born to the queen empress is five years old this year.There is a quota of four people for the princess's accompanying talent, so you can choose two older people to guide the behavior, and two people of similar age to act as playmates.

Princess Huiyun, the first daughter of Prince Zhongjie, the second prince, is 11 years old, Princess Huichun, the first daughter of Prince Zhonghuai, the third prince, is ten years old, and Princess Huishu, the daughter of Prince Zhongshun, is four years old.There are two people assigned to the post of Praise and Charity, so just choose someone of similar age to accompany them.

Because it was related to the upbringing of the royal family's children, Empress Su made the selection very seriously. All forty little girls were called to come forward to ask questions one by one.

There was no result that day, Baochai and Mei Ting walked back to the house side by side.

Walking to the door of the house, Baochai suddenly heard Mei Ting laughing in a low voice: "The empress is so kind, even if she stays in the palace, there is nothing wrong with it."

Baochai turned her head to look at Mei Ting, and found that Mei Ting was smiling, but a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

She thought for a while, reached out and pulled Mei Ting into her room, handed her a handkerchief, and coaxed: "Cry quietly, it's okay. If you don't make it in time for dinner, I'll leave some snacks for you later."

After another four or five days, until April [-]th, the results of this election came out.

Pan Meiting was selected as the sixth-rank second princess talent, and Xue Baochai was selected as the seventh-rank Huichun Princess Zanshan.

The girls who were not selected were sent home on the same day, while the [-] girls who were selected had to wait in the palace for Lu Ming's body measurement, and they could not go home until three days later.

Although Pan Meiting cried just the day before yesterday, she was angry and felt that it would be better to stay in the palace when she went home. She won the family's anger by herself, and her father would never quarrel with her mother because of this matter again.

But when she was really selected, she was still the second princess who everyone wanted to be a queen. Pan Meiting thought that she would no longer be able to accompany her mother every day in this life, and be a carefree daughter in her boudoir, so she cried quietly in private played a game.

On the same day, the palace sent eunuchs to pass on the decree to the homes of all talented people.

The inner eunuch of Jia's mansion came to the door. He thought it was another news from the noble concubine in the palace, but he didn't expect the inner eunuch to invite Mr. Xue and Mr. Xue from the Xue family to come to receive the order.

Jia Lian hurriedly sent for Aunt Xue and Cousin Xue.When Xue Pan heard that his mother was going to send him to Sichuan that day, he barely fell to the ground in fright.

But at that time, he had just sent Baochai to run for election, so he felt guilty and felt useless.So even though he was afraid of Uncle Wang's power, he couldn't justify not making a fuss at home.

After ten days and half a month, Xue Pan's heart gradually loosened up.Thinking about spending time and drinking in Beijing, there is no one to control me. When I get to Sichuan, I'm afraid I won't even be able to go out easily!

But before he could come up with a solution, there was an order to reprimand the daughter of the Fan family from the palace, and there was also the news that the daughter of the Qin family was sent out of the palace by her elder brother.

It was only then that Xue Pan realized that her sister was not going to a girls' school, but the imperial palace with the most rules in the world.One carelessness, not to mention some grievances, is hard to protect even one's wealth and life.

Only then did he regret it, and he was so anxious to circle around the house every day.If I could reassure my mother and sister, why would my sister run for election?

Xue Pan even secretly prayed to the Buddha for a few days, begging his sister to go home after losing the election, and he was willing to go to his uncle, without any complaints.

Waiting and waiting for another month.Hearing Jia's family say that the inner eunuch came to see him and his mother, Xue Pan kicked his foot on the ground, thinking that his sister must have been murdered!

Then he hurried into the house to get a pile of bank notes, thinking that no matter what happened, money would always find a way!

After kneeling on the ground with Aunt Xue and listening to the decree, Xue Pan thought in a daze: My sister has been elected?

My sister will be a member of the palace from now on?Never come home again?

Thinking of this, Xue Pan felt sad, and his nose felt sore.

When he stood up to receive the imperial edict, Xue Pan took out a 1000 taels silver note from his pocket and handed it to the father-in-law, asking: "Excuse me, father-in-law, I wonder if my mother and I can see my sister again?"

It was the father-in-law Xia who came to Jia's mansion.He thought that although Xue Pan was a relative of Jia's family, he was not a well-rounded person, so at least he had enough money.

So he said with a smile, Mr. Xue, please rest assured that Miss Xue will return home to wait for the order in three days.The palace also has to choose an auspicious day before taking the companions into the palace to receive the title.

Kuang and the empress are charitable, so they drew up regulations saying that all companions whose homes are in Beijing will have a holiday for the companions to go home for a few days for reunion every Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival.There will also be times when we meet in the future.

Aunt Xue also shed tears when she heard this, and thanked Eunuch Xia a thousand times.

Eunuch Xia accepted it with a smile.In terms of rank, he was still wearing a fifth-rank eunuch robe, which was half a rank higher than Jia Lian and Xue Yuanwailang, the first Xue family.He could bear this gift without feeling guilty at all.

Jia Lian took the opportunity to ask your concubine a few more words.Eunuch Xia made a lot of money today, he was in a great mood, and said with a smile that everything is fine with your concubine.

Eunuch Xia wanted to pass on orders from several families, so he didn't stay any longer, and rushed to the next family.
