Baochai is a mermaid

Could it be that in order to help her, Wei Chi came up with such a bad idea.

Not only is it bad, it also sounds kind of stupid.

Instantly understood Xue Baoer's disgust inside and outside the words, Wei Chi smiled and patted her head: "In the past, there was nothing wrong with the frontier, even if you won the martial arts exam, it was just a idle job in the Beijing camp or the Wucheng military commander, which has something to do with it." Yes, maybe find a military officer to be sent out, go to the local area to get some oil and water, military achievements are not even thought about, let alone a wife and a son."

Now that the Tartars outside the pass have formed an alliance and even elected a Khan, the war may not stop for a while.

Where there is war, there is military merit. The bigger the battle, the more military merit, and naturally more people want to get a share of the pie.

As An Ning said, in previous years, not just anyone could apply for the martial arts exam.

Like the imperial examination, the martial arts examination also requires the master to teach bow horse riding and shooting.Taking the road of imperial examinations can still enter the school to study, but martial arts is not popular, there are basically no schools to teach, and there are pitifully few masters, but Shu Xiu is astonishingly high.

Therefore, most of the martial arts exams come from families with hairpin tassels for generations, or martial arts families with aspirations in the temple, and it is difficult for ordinary people to confess.

There are very few people who are capable of applying for martial arts exams. The selection process for martial arts exams refers to the imperial examinations a lot. It has to go through three stages: the college exam, the township exam, and the general exam. They are screened layer by layer. Yet?

This year's test was even more outrageous, there were only a dozen people participating, and the Wuxuan Division was almost worried to death.

Therefore, when the guard drafted the imperial decree, he specifically explained that this time Enke is specially selecting talents for the Northwest War. If the matter is urgent, as long as he passes the preliminary screening of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, he can directly participate in the test. The price will be charged according to different situations. some fees.

Those who have already participated in the general examination will be charged a donation fee of 50 taels of silver for a make-up examination.For those who have not taken the martial arts exam, they need to pay an examination fee of 100 taels for each subject, and 600 taels for all six subjects.

In addition to the 600 taels for the preliminary screening, it will cost 200 taels of silver to pass the martial arts exam.

The general examination changed from two exams to one, from one person to one exam, to a group of ten exams. The exam room was set in the school grounds of the Beijing camp, and the chief examiners were promoted from officials of the Ministry of War to An Guogong and King Zhongshun.

"One thousand and two hundred taels?" Hearing what Wei Chi said, even Xue Baoer, who grew up in a wealthy nest, was stunned, "Could it be too expensive!"

You must know that many ordinary people can't earn 200 taels of silver in their entire lives.

Xue Pan laughed loudly: "If anyone has a little kung fu, who can be so poor? Just asking the master to learn kung fu is much more money than this. Besides, there is a big battle in the northwest. A petty official, what's a mere 1000 taels of silver? It's always a matter of wealth and wealth, and I don't want my children to be trapped by wolves!"

An Ning echoed like grass on the wall: "That's right, don't talk about military achievements, if you want to spend 1000 taels of silver to meet An Guogong and my father in normal times, do you think they have time to see you?"

Daring and star effect.

Xue Baoer held back a smile: "When my brother signed up, were there many people?"

"I don't know, I didn't see it." Xue Pan said.

???

Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, Xue Pan scratched his head in embarrassment: "The imperial decree just arrived, and I was the first to sign up. I heard that only ten people can go to the school grounds, so I called nine guards." I went to make up the numbers and paid all ten people's money. I left after paying the money and didn't see anyone else."

"..."

"You paid all the 6000 taels of silver?" This time An Ning was also a little bit pained.

Xue Pan faltered: "Yes... 2000 taels, I handed in both games."

"..."

Fortunately, everyone in Xue's nursing home is not bad at all, and more than 1 taels of silver will not cause too much loss.

Xue Baoer comforted herself like this.

Everyone was in pain, but Xue's mother felt that it was okay, at least the money was spent on the right way, it was better than cheap brothels and casinos.

In previous years, when Xue Pan went out to hang out, the money was spent like running water, and even 1 taels could not be heard when he threw it down.

Seeing Xue Pan walking the right path, Xue's mother was very happy, she smiled and stayed with Wei Chi and An Ning for lunch.

Wei Chi said which pot he didn't open and which pot he picked up: "I heard that Princess Zhongshun is choosing a guest of honor for the princess at the palace banquet. I think it's inconvenient for the princess to stay for lunch."

An Ning looked at Wei Chi warningly, but Xue Pan asked curiously beside him, "What is Yibin?"

Wei Chi kindly explained to him: "It means husband-in-law."

peaceful:"!"

Xue Pan: "!!!"

Xue Pan was stunned and walked out, still yelling: "Why did no one tell me about such a big incident!"

Seeing this, An Ning hurriedly chased him out.

As soon as Xue Pan left, no one accompanied Wei Chi to the outer courtyard for lunch. There were too few people eating, and it was difficult to divide the table between men and women.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Xue Bao'er asked Wei Chi in a low voice while Xue's mother was not paying attention.

Wei Chi pretended not to hear, and said with a smile to Mother Xue, who just came to her senses, "They all have something to do, I just happened to be free, so I'll stay and have lunch with you."

Xue Baoer: "..."

The lunch was as expected, a plate of braised Yellow River carp was placed on the table for the first time, Wei Chi just looked at it, and didn't pick it up with his chopsticks.

"The preparations were in a hurry, and I don't know the son, oh no, what kind of fish does Lord Jianguo like to eat, the people in the kitchen said that the Yellow River carp is the most suitable for spring, so they bought it." Mother Xue said tremblingly.

She was still a little afraid of Wei Chi.

"I'm afraid I'll come to bother you often in the future. My wife can just call me Wei Chi." Wei Chi didn't talk about the fish, and didn't look at the dish again, and said instead.

Xue's mother was startled, and looked at Xue Bao'er, Xue Bao'er didn't understand why Wei Chi said that suddenly, and raised her head to look at him ignorantly.

Wei Chi looked at the white porcelain-like doll in front of him, and sighed in his heart, he couldn't help but envy Xue Pan and An Ning who were about the same age.

Others can get married if they have feelings, but he still has to wait for several years.

When will his little girl grow up?

Xue Baoer was stared at by Wei Chi, her face suddenly turned red for no reason, she hurriedly lowered her eyelids to eat seriously, and didn't dare to look across.

Wei Chi withdrew his gaze at the right time, and laid out dishes for both Mother Xue and Xue Baoer familiarly, and then explained what he said just now with a gentle smile: "Mr. Chenghui has been with the eldest princess for half a year, and if he leaves suddenly, the eldest princess will inevitably be worried. So he told me to come over from time to time to see Mr. Chenghui for her."

Using the eldest princess as a shield again, Xue Bao'er was so sweet in her heart that she still couldn't help but slander her.

When Xue Bao'er left home, Xue's mother didn't close her eyes for several days and nights, but she could understand the mood of "Eldest Princess", so she politely said: "Then you will come here often in the future, tell me in advance what you like to eat, and I will ask someone to prepare it. "

Probably Wei Chi's gentle smile was too real, or maybe he was too talkative and too sweet. He only picked up what Xue's mother loved to hear. After a meal, Xue's mother treated Wei Chi as casually and cordially as Xue Pan. up.

Xue Bao'er couldn't help holding the soup bowl and sighing: She also wants to learn this set of skills of talking nonsense when talking to people!

I thought that Wei Chi's "came to bother you often" was a polite word, but after more than a month, Xue's mother found that Wei Chi was really a solid-eyed child.

If you say you come to bother me often, you really come every day, regardless of whether it is sooner or later.

Sometimes it was early in the morning, before she got up, she heard that Wei Chi went directly to Xue Baoer's yard for breakfast in order not to disturb her rest.

Sometimes in the afternoon, when she woke up, someone came to report that Wei Chi had lunch in Xue Baoer's yard because he was afraid of disturbing her nap.

Most of the time it was midnight, she had already gone to bed, and someone told me the next day that Wei Chi ate supper in Xue Baoer's yard, Xue Baoer left him to rest in the guest room, and the person who had breakfast with Xue Baoer in the morning had already left.

And...he is really a caring and considerate child.

Compared with Duke Anguo's mansion, Xue's family is much farther away from the palace. Wei Chi must be very busy handling government affairs in the palace, and he still has time to visit Xue Bao'er for the eldest princess...

Xue's mother is someone who has been here before, and she has long understood Wei Chi's feelings for Xue Bao'er, and the discomfort in her heart gradually disappeared.

It is easy to get a priceless treasure, but it is rare to have a lover. As long as Wei Chi treats Xue Baoer sincerely, she will not bother to care about it.

During this period, Xue Baoer seemed to have returned to the Princess's mansion again, and could see Wei Chi almost every day, but the time was a bit awkward.

Sometimes he was stuck in the bed by him, his face flushed with shame, that guy just salivated in the inner room and refused to leave, just watched her get up, change clothes, wash up, and occasionally sent Ying'er and Xiangling out, Serve her personally.

Sometimes she was still taking a nap, and the guy would sit on the edge of the bed and doze off, regardless of whether anyone else was in the room, until she woke up.

Later, Xue Baoer simply slept in the morning on the big kang outside the window, and put a small kang table in the middle of the kang, with tea, snacks, fresh fruits and story books on the table.Unexpectedly, Wei Chi was not satisfied with eating and drinking, so he quietly cleaned up and lay on the other side of the kang table to take a nap.

Sometimes when Xue Baoer wakes up from a nap, she can see Wei Chi's peaceful sleeping face, and doesn't bother him, just takes a round fan and sits on the edge of the Kang to fan him.

Wei Chi seems to be having a hard time getting rid of his night owl nature. Most of them come in the middle of the night. Xue Baoer was probably already asleep at that time, but chicken soup, fish soup, or various goodies are stewing on the stove in the small kitchen in the courtyard every night. meat soup.

The servants in the yard have already been out of their biological clocks by him. If he doesn't come and make a fuss, they won't be able to sleep well at night.

Of course, Wei Ji is also very generous to those who serve him, and there are rewards almost every day.

But no one could stand the constant simmering, so Xue Baoer asked someone to set up a stove in the anteroom, and only one person was left every night to warm up the supper for the guard, and he was on duty every night.

In order to minimize the impact, Xue Baoer did not let Wei Chi go to sleep in the guest room, but vacated the big kang in the outer room by the window, and let him rest there, whether it is for supper or breakfast, it is more convenient .

Only then did the Xue family calm down.

On this day, Wei Chi seldom had time to accompany Xue's mother to have lunch, and just finished eating, suddenly a little maid came running in to report: "Madam, Miss, Prince, the uncle and eldest lady of the second room are here!"

Shizi?

Xue Bao'er just wanted to laugh when he heard that, if Wei Chi continued to live, Xue Pan's position as Patriarch would probably be lost.

Wei Chi put down his chopsticks, blinked at her, with a proud face of "successfully penetrating into the enemy's interior".

Xue's mother was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin to be welcomed in, and she was also busy getting up and going out to meet them.

Xue Bao'er stood up, unexpectedly, Wei Chi also stood up, and followed her to the door.
