Happy Life in the Red Chamber

After returning to the door in three days, Mingxi opened her eyes, it was already dawn, she quickly pushed Xu Hao to wake up: "Hurry up, my mother must be waiting at home, hey, it's all your fault, there is no restraint, hurry up Get up and stop dawdling."

The two of them got dressed in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so the maidservant carried the gift back to the door, and the couple walked back to their mother's house in a leisurely manner.

It is also good to be close to my mother's house, and it only takes a few minutes to walk.Feng Shi had been looking forward to it for a long time at home. When she saw Mingxi, she excitedly held her hand, looked left and right: "I lost weight, I haven't seen you for two days, why did you lose weight..."

Mingxi smiled and said: "I miss you, mother, I miss you these two days, or you can move in and live with us."

Xu Hao also chimed in: "That's right, mother, it's safer for you to move there. People say that an old family is like a treasure. Mingxi and I are young and don't understand many things. You still need to teach us well."

Fearing her son-in-law's opinion, Feng refused to move at first, but Mingxi persuaded her several times, and finally said that you don't want to move, and I will move back and live with you in this village.What can the Feng family do?How can a married girl move back to her mother's house?She could only move to Feng's house.

Xu Hao found that after his mother-in-law moved here, his life was much better than before.The girl Mingxi was spoiled a little bit by him, but since Feng Shi came, she couldn't do it anymore.

The Feng family belongs to the kind of mother-in-law who is very reasonable and reasonable. If the young couple has conflicts, she will definitely criticize Mingxi towards Xu Hao.This is the Feng family. If it were someone else, Ming Xi would definitely turn his back on him.

Although there are two cooks in the family, they only have free time after they get married, and Xu Hao usually cooks.After Feng's arrival, he was still a little uncomfortable at first, his son-in-law is also a gentleman after all, how can a big man cook?

Later, I gradually got used to it, and later found that it was not my son-in-law who loves to cook, but my daughter's mouth is too tricky, and she ate very little of the dishes cooked by the cook.If the son-in-law cooks for her and cooks her favorite dishes, she can eat an extra bowl of rice.

One of the young couple is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, the son-in-law loves his daughter, Feng Shi is too happy to be happy, of course he will not go out of his way to please others.

Most of Mingxi's mission has been completed, and more than half of Feng Yuan's wish is still missing.After all, the Xue family is one of the four major families, and the three families of Jia Wang and Xue are all in the same spirit. Xu Hao has not yet had the ability to compete with them, and he still has to continue to take the Jinshi exam.

Based on the accumulation of his life, it is not difficult to be a Jinshi. After reviewing for more than a year, they went north with their family and arrived in the capital.

It's not easy to live in the capital, and everything is expensive here. When I came here, I brought two maids who signed a death contract.After settling in, Mingxi was going to buy some more maids and maids, and the cook had to buy them too.

Feng's stopped him: "Two maids are enough, everything in the capital is expensive, so you can save as much as you can..."

Ming Xi knew what Feng Shi was worried about. He was afraid that Xu Hao would have to wait another three years if he didn't pass the exam next spring.This study cost the most money, and she was afraid that Xu Hao's family was not enough for the two of them.

There are only these few people in the left and right families, Xu Hao wants to study hard, and Mingxi cooks by himself.There are two maids for washing and washing. The clothes and shoes of the four seasons in the family are all made by Feng. Her needlework is not so good.

Xu Hao felt sorry for Mingxi, so he found Yazi, a man with a good reputation, bought a few women, two maids, and two cooks, and said to Feng, "Mother, our family is not short of money. It's getting colder, you and Mingxi don't do these jobs.

It is inevitable to soak in cold water when cooking. Mingxi has suffered a lot in the past few years. The doctor said that her body is seriously deficient and needs to be taken care of. "

Feng Shi is used to being frugal, and she hasn't changed her mind for a while. Xu Hao's words made her reflect on herself, and she gradually changed her mind.

In fact, the Zhen family used to be a prominent family in Gusu. As the mistress of the Zhen family, she also had a group of servants, and her ten fingers were not exposed to the spring water.

Chunwei took three consecutive exams, each of which lasted three days.Clothes cannot have interlayers when entering, so only single clothes can be worn.

This year it's the coldest spring again, and I'm shivering in the cold while wearing a jacket. I think I know how sad it is for candidates who wear unlined clothes.

But this is nothing to Xu Hao, not to mention that he has internal strength and is not afraid of the cold.But it is said that his clothes are made of self-heating cloth that Mingxi bought in the mall, although it is only a thin layer, it can automatically adjust the temperature.

Cut into clothes and wear them on your body, even if you are in a world of ice and snow, you will feel warm all over your body.

The shoes on his feet were also made of this kind of fabric, and Mingxi also bought a large blanket with a warm effect, and when he entered the test shed, he spread half of it and covered the other half.

I baked a stack of sesame pancakes, sandwiched my own stewed beef inside, and grilled them in a charcoal basin when I was ready to eat.

Xu Hao entered the tribute courtyard with a baking basket, Feng Shi was fidgeting at home, Ming Xi advised her: "What are you worried about, if you can pass the exam, don't worry, he should pass, if you fail the exam, no matter how worried you are." Useless."

Feng Shi glared at her: "Bah, bah, bah, Tong Yan Wuji is blown away by the strong wind, don't talk about everything, Yuan'er's literary talent, let alone a Jinshi, is no problem even if it is the number one scholar or the second place... .”

Ming Xi shrugged his shoulders: "If he really wins the No. [-] examination, you should be worried about the No. [-]. People say that when he is the No. [-] Scholar, the wife of the No. [-] Scholar does not know who to change. Feng Yuanchang He must be regarded as a dog, there is no guarantee that there will be no such rich lady who will fall in love with him."

Ming Xi was talking nonsense, but Feng Shi took it seriously.She thought more, her daughter was abducted by a kidnapper, and then bought back by Xue's family, now that Feng Yuan has a strong relationship with her, there may be no problem, but if she changes her mind in the future, will she feel... .

The Feng family was worried about gains and losses, and couldn't care less about Xu Hao, and sighed all day long, hoping that Xu Hao would pass the exam, but also afraid that he would dislike Ming Xi because he was too capable.

Xu Hao finished three exams in a row and slept at home for a whole day before he felt alive again.Although it's not cold in the test room, you can eat, drink and sleep in that square inch, and you know how ecstasy the smell is.

The moment when the rankings were released after the exam was the most torturous moment for Feng Shi, but Ming Xi and Xu Hao should eat and sleep, anyway, they have already finished the exam, if they fail the exam this time, they will have to wait another three years.

On the day when the list was released, Feng Shi sent someone to look at the list early in the morning. As for Xu Hao, it was chilly, and he would rather accompany Ming Xini to read travel notes on the kang than to crowd around with people.

The two young men who went to see the list were really in a mess when they came back. One's clothes were torn, and the other's shoe was trampled on.But just like that, the two of them were very happy, and they announced the good news first when they came back: "Congratulations to the old lady, back to the old lady, the master is Xie Yuan..."

Feng Shi was stunned, Ming Xi blinked, looked at Xu Hao who was beside him with a smug face, and was a little surprised: "You did well in the exam! Xie Yuangong, if there is no accident, the top three would not have escaped."

Xu Hao put his arms around her waist and said in a low voice: "This is the beginning, I will make your husband honorable and noble, you just wait for me to ask you to be a first-class wife."

Mingxi raised his eyebrows: "Hehe, you are quite ambitious. I thought you were going to bring down the emperor and make me the queen."

Xu Hao thought about it seriously: "If you want to be a queen, it may be difficult, but if I work hard, I should be able to do it."

Ming Xi shook his head: "Don't worry, the change of dynasty is not a small matter. If we fail to do it well, we will have to bear a big karma. I am lazy and don't have such big ambitions. I think it is possible for the emperor to I will call you Tanhualang. People say that you are romantic and suave Tanhualang, after all, you look like a dog."

Xu Hao laughed: "Can I understand that you praise me for being good-looking? No matter what I am, my love for you will never change."

Mingxi hehe: "A man's mouth is a deceitful ghost. If a man is reliable, a sow will climb a tree. I will listen to your nice love words. If you believe it, then you are really stupid."

Xu Hao couldn't help but touch his forehead, and it was normal on second thought. Mingxi had done so many missions, if he was still so foolish and easy to trust people, he would have been tricked to death long ago.

Soon after the announcement of the results, there was the palace examination. Xu Hao entered the palace early in the morning, and when the results came out, as expected by Mingxi, he was appointed by the emperor as Tanhualang.Entered the Hanlin Academy, and was editing the seventh rank.

The Imperial Academy is a well-known Qingshui yamen, and its official position is not high. It seems that it is not very important to do clerical work, and it seems that there is no great prospect.

However, the editor is responsible for compiling books and writing history, drafting imperial edicts, reading for members of the royal family, etc.Often dangling in front of the emperor, the chances of promotion are much more than others.

Just like Xu Hao, after he entered the Hanlin Academy, he became an attendant not long after, specializing in studying and giving lectures with the emperor.Emperor Qianyuan liked him very much for his attitude of not being surprised when he was honored and favored, and he had a moderate attitude of advancing and retreating, so he often asked him to accompany him to study.

This slowly, the monarch and his subjects got along for a long time, and the feelings came out.Emperor Qianyuan was an unfavorable prince when he was a child. He suffered a lot, and his shoulders and knees suffered from cold. In winter, he could not keep warm while holding a charcoal stove.

After Xu Hao gave him the lecture, he boldly said that his ancestors had a prescription, which was to boil a few herbs into a medicinal soup and soak his feet to force out the cold air in his body.

After Fangzi was handed over to the imperial physician to see that there was nothing wrong with it, Emperor Qianyuan soaked it for half an hour every night.After a week, I felt relieved. After half a month, I didn't feel sore when I raised my arm. After a month, I completely recovered.

Emperor Qianyuan was really happy, and asked Xu Hao what kind of reward he wanted, this guy looked sincere: "I don't want any rewards, the prescription passed down by my ancestors can cure the emperor's illness, what an honor it is For things, if the ancestors have spirits, they have to praise the officials for doing a good job."

It has to be said that this guy is quite good at flattering, holding Emperor Qianyuan like this, he was so happy that he could not close his mouth from ear to ear.Not to mention the rewards of many good things, I still remember Xu Hao's credit in my heart.When the hall was closed in three years, Xu Hao directly became a bachelor of the fourth rank.

Shocked the entire Imperial Academy, Feng Yuan's promotion speed is too fast, isn't it?Jumping directly from the seventh rank to the fourth rank, you must know that the fifth rank is a hurdle, and many officials have not been able to rise to the fifth rank throughout their lives.

For example, Jia Zheng, when Jia Daishan submitted the booklet before his death, Emperor Qianyuan felt the love of the emperor and his ministers, and rewarded Jia Zheng as a sixth-rank head of the Ministry of Industry.After so many years, he has only been promoted from the head of the sixth-rank Ministry of Industry to the fifth-rank member Wailang.

As for Feng Yuan, Tan Hualang was awarded the seventh-rank editor at the beginning, and then became a waiter. Three years later, he jumped a few steps and became a bachelor from the fourth-rank waiter.This has never happened in the Yong Dynasty.

Although many people questioned Xu Hao's ability and the speed of his promotion, Emperor Qianyuan was used to being arbitrary, who would dare to tuck his beard?

The higher Xu Hao's official position was, the more worried the Feng family would be, fearing that if he got rich, Ming Xi, a poor wife, would be brought down.

Mingxi was a little helpless: "Mother, I'm still young and beautiful, what's wrong with me? If you don't worry, I'll make peace with him now, so that you won't be so frightened all day long."

Feng beat Mingxi angrily: "You talk nonsense every day, Yuan'er is not that kind of person, if you dare to divorce at will, I will break your leg."

Xu Hao opened the curtain and walked in from the outside: "Mother still understands me, mother, don't blame Mingxi, it's my son-in-law who has made her angry these few days, it's because I'm angry with me."

Feng sighed: "How can a couple live without stumbling? Yinglian has to change your temper, and you just meet Yuan'er who is spoiling you and is satisfied. That's fine, what's the matter with you two, come back Go to your own yard and talk about it..."

Feng Shi kicked the two of them out, and when they left the yard, Mingxi glared at Xu Hao: "Look at what you're capable of, you'll still sue me quietly..."

Xu Hao put his arms around her waist: "I was wrong, Mingxi, it is really a blessing to meet you in this vast small world, I hope I can stay by your side more. Waiting for the matter of the Xue family, I am going to apply for a foreign release, and I want to take you around, so it is not suitable for us to have children. Of course, I also have my own selfishness. I hope you will put your heart on me. I don’t want my children to compete with me. "

Ming Xi leaned in his arms: "Then you have to tell me, how would I know what you think if you don't tell me? You didn't tell me, and just took contraceptive pills on your own, I thought there was something wrong with me, mother Over there kept urging..."

Xu Hao hugged her and walked towards the main courtyard: "I deeply reflect on my mistakes, and I swear in the future that no matter what I do, I will discuss it with you first, okay? By the way, that Yuanchun of the Jia family is going to be a concubine."

Mingxi thought for a while: "Jia Yuanchun has been in the palace for so many years without any movement, why did he suddenly become a concubine? Is Qin Keqing really the daughter of the deposed prince?"

Xu Hao nodded: "The daughter of the abolished prince who was born in a foreign room before, she also has a brother, Jia Yuanchun reported meritorious service, the emperor almost wiped out the remaining power of the abolished prince through investigation Qin Keqing, you don't know, Qin Keqing also has a compatriot Younger brother, he was secretly raised by the henchmen of the deposed prince, and this time we will deal with it too. The Supreme Emperor now wishes to kill Jia Yuanchun, and her life will not be much better in the future."

Mingxi blinked: "What role do you play in it?"

Xu Hao hehe: "You guess?"

"Left is just adding oil and vinegar, putting on hats and hats, and borrowing a knife to kill people. It's really unlucky for Xue Dasha to meet a narrow-minded and cunning fox like you. Hey, Xue Dasha didn't spend less money for me back then, so I have to forgive him." Forgive me, as long as the Xue family is down, don't really push people into corners.

For nothing else, the man Xue Baochai helped me find my mother anyway, and it was just to let us leave Jinling.If Mrs. Wang is changed, whether we can live or not is really a matter of opinion. "

Xu Hao knew that Mingxi had always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted, especially for those little girls, he was always a little more tolerant.He smiled and nodded, Mingxi saw that he agreed and didn't ask any more questions, she rarely asked about Xu Hao's affairs in the court, unless Xu Hao took the initiative to talk about it, she would occasionally talk about her own opinion.
