Nala Shuxian took a serious look at Mrs. Wang, and saw that she really didn't look like she was joking, so she smiled and said: "If my brother and sister are really willing, I will ask my master to have a talk with the second master of the government in a few days, and talk about this matter." Things are settled."

"It's done!" Mrs. Wang agreed wholeheartedly.

"I'm not afraid of my younger siblings' jokes. To put it bluntly, when I asked you to welcome my sister, I really didn't think so much. However, this man's heart is full of flesh. After raising these days, I am right She is getting more and more concerned. If Yingjieer can really be my daughter, I really want to thank my siblings."

"The family doesn't speak two different languages, the sister-in-law is too polite."

For Mrs. Wang, Sister Ying is just a mere concubine, and whoever gives birth to the child will be the one who loves her. Although she won't have trouble with a concubine, she can't love her with all her heart.Besides, as long as she thought of how stiff she had been with Nala Shuxian two years ago, she couldn't help regretting it.Even in the past year, she has tried her best to make up for it, but since the crack already exists, it is almost impossible to completely repair it.

What makes Mrs. Wang even more difficult is that La Shuxian doesn't love those yellow and white things at all, and she usually has nothing to ask her for, so even if she wants to repair the relationship, she can't find a suitable opportunity.

However, Mrs. Wang did not change her attitude for no reason. After all, she still had selfish intentions.

This woman has been fighting all her life, not for her husband and children.Jia Zheng is already like this now, even though Mrs. Wang herself has no knowledge, she also understands that Jia Zheng's official career will stop here.On the other hand, Brother Zhu was once the best in homeschooling, and was often praised by his husband for his excellent talent, which made Mrs. Wang have great hopes.Both her husband's family and her mother's family were unable to support Brother Zhu in her studies and career. In desperation, Mrs. Wang could only set her sights on Nala Shuxian.

The problem is, Nala Shuxian is not easy to please.In Mrs. Wang's opinion, the best gifts are exquisite head jewelry, large-denomination gold and silver tickets, and the house deed, land deed and land deed are all excellent.But who made Nala Shuxian not care about these at all?Mrs. Wang wanted to do what she liked, and sent some famous calligraphy and paintings, but firstly, she didn't understand these things at all, and secondly, because of the background of the Wang family, although the dowry was extremely generous, none of them could catch Nala Shuxian's eyes.

After several tosses, Mrs. Wang just felt very tired. She simply didn't understand, how could anyone not like yellow and white things?

Fortunately, there is still Yingjieer!

Mrs. Wang looked up and saw Nala Shuxian looking at sister Ying lovingly, the joy in her heart was indescribable.If a concubine could be exchanged for the future of his eldest son, let alone Mrs. Wang, even Jia Zheng would be very happy.Thinking about it carefully, this matter is also beneficial to Yingjie herself, but not harmful.This is no longer the best of both worlds, it is simply perfect in every way.Thinking of this, the smile on Mrs. Wang's face became brighter, and she even added a little more love to her eyes when she looked at Sister Ying.

It's a pity that Sister Ying didn't notice this at all, she just concentrated on taking the dim sum in her hand and gritted her teeth vigorously, feeling the sweetness in her mouth, Sister Ying raised her head and showed a silly smile to Nala Shuxian.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Mrs. Wang's mouth twitched involuntarily.In all honesty, with her aesthetics, I really don't think Yingjieer looks good.Even apart from being able to barely praise her fair complexion, Mrs. Wang couldn't find any other advantages.Ordinarily, this Jia Zheng's appearance is quite good among men. As for Aunt Zhao, she is a rare beauty, but Mrs. Wang wondered how she could grow into such a white and fat girl What does the dumpling look like?Not to mention the figure, even the facial features are too fleshy to be seen clearly.

...Fortunately, it wasn't her own.

Nala Shuxian didn't know that Mrs. Wang was slandering her at the moment, but she could understand Mrs. Wang's reluctance to see Sister Ying.

In her previous life, she had encountered such things quite often, even though she herself was not a food lover, she couldn't really love a child with the blood of her husband and other women on her body.Even if sometimes you have to put on a loving appearance, it's just a show.

In fact, if Sister Ying was Jia She's concubine, she would definitely not put her heart on Sister Ying.But for my niece, there is no hindrance, she believes that she will treat Yingjie as her own flesh and blood.

The matter of welcoming the sister has been settled for the time being. Nala Shuxian woke up from her memories and looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile: "I talked a lot of gossip, but I forgot to ask my younger siblings if they came to find me. ?" She didn't believe that Mrs. Wang would make such a special trip to meet her sister.

Sure enough, after taking a sip of tea, Mrs. Wang said with hesitation: "Sister-in-law didn't mention it and I forgot. I did come to you with something, because the old lady told me about it."

Nala Shuxian didn't say a word, she just looked up at Mrs. Wang, motioning for her to continue talking.

Maybe it was really embarrassing. After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "I heard that my sister-in-law also went to Rongqing Hall, maybe it's the same thing? It's not that I want to inquire, but This matter is really too difficult. The old lady asked me to visit Bowling Hou's mansion in the first month."

"The old lady really mentioned something to me, but I declined it." Nala Shuxian smiled, and seeing Mrs. Wang's stunned expression, as if she was pleased, she said with a low smile, "So It's not a big deal, if the siblings don't want to go, just follow me and push."

That's what she said, but Nala Shuxian never mentioned that she was the one who took Mrs. Wang's vat in Rongqing Hall.But to be honest, even if Mrs. Wang found out the truth, the other party would have nothing to do with her.After all, with the status of the elder sister-in-law, it's nothing for her to take Mrs. Wang as the head of the vat. If Mrs. Wang did so, it would be disrespectful.

"Oh, I really want to push it, but the old lady..." After all, Mrs. Wang didn't really say what was in her heart, she couldn't help but sighed, as if going to Baolinghou's mansion was quite troublesome.

Seeing this, Nala Shuxian was surprised.A large part of the reason why she was unwilling to do what Jia Mu said was because she was afraid of the crown prince's restoration in the coming year.You must know that Baolinghou's Mansion is a princeling on the bright side. Now that the prince has been abolished and the old master has passed away, they have stopped.But when the crown prince is reinstated in the coming year, he might start shaking again.Nala Shuxian knew very well that after staying for two years, the crown prince would be deposed again. At that time...

"Why don't younger brothers and sisters want to go to the Hou's Mansion?" Nala Shuxian lowered her head and thought for a while, but she couldn't figure it out, so she asked directly.

Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly: "Isn't it because of Mrs. Hou Ye? No, now it's time to call Mrs. Hou Ye. In our seniority, we can also be called aunts."

"Old Madam ever felt sorry for her siblings?"

"Not really." Mrs. Wang paused, as if she was thinking about something, before she said, "I don't know what to say. By the way, I remember that the Bowling Marquis's Mansion was established two years before my sister-in-law married you." Leaving Beijing, in this way, sister-in-law, you have never dealt with the old lady, right?"

"Never."

"Oh, this old lady of the Hou's Mansion, I have seen it several times. At that time, I hadn't been engaged to my master, and she hadn't even married into the Hou's Mansion at that time. She got engaged early, but married late. Very, and because the elders of our family have some friendships on weekdays, I have dealt with her several times during banquets. How should I put it? The old lady's temper is a bit different from ordinary people, she doesn't seem like a noble daughter .”

Mrs. Wang had already said it very euphemistically, but unfortunately Nala Shuxian didn't understand her meaning at all.

It doesn't seem like the meaning of a noble lady from a family. Could it be that the old lady of the Hou Mansion is just a little jade?But if this is the case, there is no need to be so embarrassing?Nala Shuxian thought of the third sister-in-law of her natal family. Although she was of noble birth and the only girl in the first few generations of the family, she was not outstanding in appearance and figure, and her temper was a little timid. She didn't look like a noble girl at all, but looked like that It's like someone from a small family.But even so, Mrs. Zhang Jiasan is not difficult to get along with. The only thing to pay attention to is that you should not talk too much with her, otherwise she will not understand at all.

"Is it because you didn't speak well?" Nala Shuxian asked tentatively.

"It's not comprehensive... Yes, that's true. It's not just that, she behaves differently from us, and even her daily dress is very unusual. However, the old Marquis has passed away, so there is no need to I'm worried about her clothes. But she talks...I really don't want to deal with her." Mrs. Wang said with lingering fear as if thinking of something terrible.

Nala Shuxian faintly felt that her guess just now might be quite different from the real situation, but after thinking about it, did she meet few people in her previous life?Not to mention, she is someone who has even seen that bird, no matter how exaggerated the old lady of the Hou Mansion is, can she still compare to that bird?

However, Nala Shuxian completely ignored a very important thing. Although Mrs. Wang is not as well-informed as she is, she is a real daughter of the Wang family. Even the people she fears deeply are not ordinary people. It's easy to mess with.

"Forget it, there are still two days left to live for my birthday, let's talk about it in the first month." In fact, Mrs. Wang really wanted Nala Shuxian to go to Bowling Hou's Mansion with her, but she hesitated for a long time. He swallowed the words that came to his lips.The reason is very simple, she wants to repair the relationship between the two of them, not to make another feud.She had a hunch that if Nala Shuxian was really forced to go to Bowling Marquis's Mansion, the two of them would definitely become sworn enemies in the future.

Alas, the old lady of the Hou family who died today.

……

After sending off Mrs. Wang, Nala Shuxian really went to inquire about the old lady in Bowlinghou's Mansion.It's a pity, because the Bowling Marquis' Mansion left Beijing more than ten years ago, although there are still exchanges between the masters and sons during the holidays, there is not much interaction between the masters and sons.But Nara Shuxian didn't have many senior servants, even if there were a few, it was only heard that there was such a person, and she had never really dealt with them.In desperation, Nala Shuxian had no choice but to suppress the suspicion in her heart, and after Jia Amnesty came back in the evening, she began to inquire carefully.

This question didn't matter, but it almost didn't make Jia Amnesty blow up.

The old lady of the Hou Mansion is a descendant of Qi Guogong Chen Yi among the four princes and eight princes, and she is also the eldest daughter of the eldest son, with outstanding appearance, figure and knowledge.What's even more rare is that when she got engaged, the old Hou Ye was still in the frontier, and it was unknown when he would return, or even if he would return safely.Of course, in fact, Old Hou Ye must have returned safely, but after many years of engagement.In fact, the three masters of the Hou Mansion know this point. The uncle is only nine years old this year, but the old lady is already 35 years old. It is reported that she was conceived when she got married, that is to say, the old lady was 25 years old That year I married the old Hou Ye.

In the Mood for Love was forced to postpone the marriage, if she had any flaws, she would admit it, but since she is the queen of the state, she would not worry about marrying.Fortunately, after suffering for many years, he finally got married safely, and the old Hou Ye was a very good person, deeply felt that he owed his wife, and respected her very much.

Speaking of this, there was nothing abnormal about the matter, but Nala Shuxian knew that the truth was not that simple when she saw Jia She's constipated face.

Sure enough, Jia Amnesty changed his expression of bitterness and hatred again, and said: "There is something that no one outside knows, but I heard it from my grandmother."

Jia Amnesty's grandmother is Xu Shi, the old Duke's wife who has passed away for many years. If you hear it from her, then the matter is really old, and it is very possible that it may be older than her.Nala Shuxian was just thinking about it casually, she never expected that what Jia She said was indeed very old, and it involved several elders who had passed away for many years.

"...There is no evidence for this, but people of the older generation know it, and I guess the old lady knows it well. The old lady in the Bowling Marquis Mansion is not the so-called eldest daughter of the eldest house, but Qi The daughter-in-law of the old man of the Guofu who was born outside when he was young."

Nala Shuxian raised her head towards the beam, ah, Rongxi Hall is indeed the main hall of Rongguo Mansion, even the beams are carved with many patterns.After a while, she said quietly: "Master, are you kidding me?"

Even though she had thought of 1 possibilities before, she never expected such a fact.If the daughter of the second wife is recorded as the daughter of the first wife, she can even accept the daughter of the concubine or good concubine, but what the hell is the daughter of the second wife?How could this kind of thing happen in the Qi State Mansion?At this moment, Nala Shuxian admired the old man of Qi Guofu very much. He could do this kind of thing well, and she would definitely not be a mediocre person.

"Can this kind of thing be joked?" Jia She pressed his eyebrows with a headache. In fact, he didn't want to talk about it at first. The matter of the crown prince being abolished and soon released, he vaguely felt that there might still be troubles in the future. The Bowling Marquis Mansion is a certain princeling party, and his family is very close relatives to them. After much deliberation, Jia Shen decided Tell the truth.

He wasn't lying anyway.

Under Jia Amnesty's explanation, Nala Shuxian finally understood the general situation.In fact, it is said that it is an outsider, mostly based on speculation, without any substantive evidence.The specific reason is that the old lady of the Qi State Mansion was indeed pregnant and gave birth to the eldest daughter. The problem is that at that time more than one doctor asserted that the child in her womb had no fetal heart rate before she gave birth.Unexpectedly, she gave birth to the child safely, and both mother and daughter are safe.If it's just that, it's all right, but after her daughter gradually grows up, she doesn't look like her at all, and even the style between her eyebrows and eyes is very similar to the pillar of the famous butterfly class at that time.

At that time, the former pillar had already withdrawn from people's sight. Some people said that he was married, but the insider said that he was raised by the old man of Qi Guofu who was still young at that time.

"Now that the Bowling Hou Mansion has returned to the capital, and the old Lord Hou is gone, they will never leave the capital if they come here for a while. I guess you will have more chances to see the old lady of the Hou Mansion in the future. Now, you will understand what I mean when the time comes." Jia She said pointedly.

As soon as the words came out, Nala Shuxian nodded thoughtfully. There is no rush for this matter. The most important thing now is to get through this year first, and cooperate with Twelfth Years to urge Jia Amnesty to study.

As soon as he mentioned learning, Jia She immediately held his heart and cried out: "I'm tired and tired, I'm going to rest first."

Nala Shuxian looked at Jia She with resentful eyes, and secretly slandered, "I'm tired and tired, why are you covering your heart?"After thinking about it, tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, even if you work hard, it won't be at this time.At the moment, I changed my clothes and turned off the lights to rest.

<<

Since the next day was New Year's Eve, Rongguo Mansion was busy early in the morning.Ordinarily, there is actually nothing to be busy with, but the New Year's Eve is nothing more than trying to be happy. After La Shuxian woke up in the morning, she watched the maidservants in Rongxi Hall tossing back and forth, and she was too lazy Said, simply stay in the warm pavilion with brother Lian and sister Ying in his arms, and tell the servant girl to call her when the time comes.

As for twelve...

"Father, what are you busy with? Is there anything that cannot be left to the servants? Don't worry, with my mother here, you can just study hard in the study with me." Twelve occupied Rongxi The study on the east side of the hall, although nominally owned by Jia She, has been occupied by him since the twelfth day of the ninth day when he returned from the Zhang family.Jia Amnesty didn't care about the study room, while Brother Lian subconsciously gave way to Twelve, but no matter what the reason was, Twelve wasn't that rare.

Twelve: It's okay for Brother Lian, he's young, so it's too late to torture him after a few years.But stupid dad?Where is the stupid father who will take the provincial examination next year?

Jia She wanted to cry without tears, and tried to reach out to hold Twelve in his arms, but Twelve mercilessly slapped his hand away: "Cong'er, Daddy's sweetheart, it's New Year's Eve, turn around Dad will give you lucky money."

"I don't want lucky money. Dad memorizes "The Analects of Confucius" once." Twelve said solemnly with a small face.

But when these words fell on Jia She's ears, it was like a thunderbolt. He looked at Twelve in disbelief, and said after a while, "You told me to recite the Analects of Confucius? My God, Cong'er, do you know what the Analects of Confucius is? "

I don't know you know?Twelve glanced contemptuously at Jia She, and said word by word: "The Analects of Confucius was compiled by Confucius' disciples and retransmitted disciples. It mainly records the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples. It is an important classic work of the Confucian school. .”

"But, but do you know how thick the Analects of Confucius is? How many words are there?" Jia She looked at Twelve with a broken face, vaguely feeling that he probably had a bad year.

"I don't mind counting how many words it has. But the full text is only 20 chapters, so it's easy to memorize." After a pause, Twelve said abruptly, "Could it be possible that you haven't learned it at all?"

"Hehehehe..." Jia She smiled awkwardly.

There is no need to explain, Twelve has already understood it completely, and now he starts to frown and think.Originally thinking that even if you are a little stupid, the most basic content must have been learned. Even if you forget it for a while, it is easy to pick it up again.But now it seems that he may be thinking too sweetly. If the stupid father has never even read "The Analects of Confucius", let alone several other classics.Even though he has the exam questions in hand, he can't be too outrageous, otherwise, if he thinks about it later, wouldn't he immediately reveal his truth?

Perhaps Twelve's complexion was too dignified, Jia She thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, it's not that I haven't learned it at all, but after all, I'm already this age, and I have already returned what I learned earlier to my husband."

Twelve raised his eyes to look at Jia She, and said in a serious tone: "The township examination is also called Qiu Wei, whichever is the first exam in August. It's the [-]th year of the Lunar New Year. In the past, the practice of this dynasty was the first day of the ninth day of August. Daddy, you have seven months left."

Jia Amnesty: ...Why does it feel like I still have seven months to live.

"Qiu Wei is divided into three sessions. In the first session, the article "The Analects of Confucius", the article "The Doctrine of the Mean" or the article "Great Learning", "Mencius", one five-character and eight-rhyme poem, four classics and meanings, and three questions and four books. They have to write more than [-] characters, and the four scripture questions need to write more than [-] characters." Twelve wrung his vortexed fingers and said solemnly, "And this is just the first scene."

"..."

"One of the Five Classics is selected for the second session, and one of the edict, judgment, table, and edict is required. The argumentative essay requires more than [-] words. The third session takes five current affairs policies, that is, to express comments or opinions on current affairs and government affairs in combination with the theory of classics. By the way, The second and third games are far more important than the first game."

"..."

"And we only have seven months left, and the last month is counted as a review. The previous six months are divided equally, and the content of each game can be studied for two months. Two months is 20 days , and then take 20 days as the benchmark, the first 20 days to read the classics, the second 20 days to appreciate the classic strategies of the predecessors, and the last [-] days to start writing by yourself."

"..."

"Father, I don't have time for you to recite "The Analects of Confucius" slowly. How about I give you three days to recite all the Four Books and Five Classics. Starting from the third day of the Lunar New Year, we will start to study the main points in it. By the way , I have already mentioned it to the husband I studied at home, and Mr. Zhou is willing to help you open a small stove."

"..." Jia She wiped his face fiercely, and said in a broken voice, "I will never laugh at Jia Zheng again for being stupid. It's normal for him to fail the exam, and it's not surprising at all!"

"No, Second Uncle Zheng is taking the general examination, which is Chunwei. But dad, you are about to take the provincial examination. If you can pass the rural examination successfully, you will be eligible to participate in the general examination next year." Twelve-faced expressionless The expression gave a fatal blow.
