[Red Mansions] The Great Sage gets married
Chapter 68
This time, the people who came to Beijing were originally led by Sister Feng's elder brother Wang Ren.
His father, Wang Zisheng, sent him to the middle of the capital to give Wang Ziteng a new year gift, and he was also planning to stay in Beijing to learn how to raise his eyebrows and lower his eyes, and then talk about a marriage.
The Xue family also has a branch in Jinling, who is a direct cousin of Xue Pan, named Xue Bian.His father was an official before his death, and he had a close relationship with Mei Hanlin, so he gave his little daughter Baoqin to Mei's family.Now that his father's filial piety is full, he brought his sister to Beijing to discuss marriage with the Mei family.
The Wang family was very powerful, so he went to Beijing with Wang Ren to take care of each other.While berthing the boat halfway, I chatted with the other two families, they were all relatives of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion, and they wanted to leave together.
After a long boat trip to the capital, because Baochai had gone to the palace, and Aunt Xue and Xue Pan lived in their own courtyard in the capital, Xue Biao said goodbye to everyone and went to Xue's house with his sister Baoqin.
Wang Renzi went to his uncle Wang Ziteng, and the rest boarded the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
That Xing Zhong came to Beijing with his wife and daughter and his family to join his younger sister, Mrs. Xing, and the other was Aunt Li Wan and two cousins, Li Wen and Li Qi.
Mrs. Wang recuperated in the Rongxi Hall, and there was never any excitement, so only Mrs. Xing and a few young wives and girls came to see her.
The old lady just settled the worries of the "two jade children", and she seemed to be happy for something. When she saw the three little girls who looked like water onions, she hurriedly pulled them to stop.
Sister Feng prepared wine and food for them to eat first, raised her feet to stand on the back, and told Ping'er: "Go and see what the second master is doing, the elder is lazy, so Uncle Xing always wants to say hello. "
Mrs. Xing's family is not rich, and she can see that the whole family looks up to her.She has always been a stingy person, and most of the time she has to push it to herself.
Sister Feng is in charge of the house, so she is not afraid of these trivial matters.The three mothers and daughters of the Li family definitely lived in Daoxiang Village. The sister-in-law Zhu was young and widowed, and she was a chaste woman, so her aunt and sister had to take extra care of her, which made the old lady happy.
As for the Xing family, most likely only the young lady Xing Xiuyan was left to live in the garden.
After eating for a while, each cleaned their hands, and then went to talk to the old lady again.
Mother Jia smiled and glanced at Daiyu. She used to be a granddaughter by blood, but now she is another granddaughter-in-law.
The old lady looked at the girls again, and said with a smile: "There are so many girls here all at once, I don't know how old they are?"
Aunt Li and Mrs. Xing each told their daughter's age. The old lady remembered it at first, but she counted it with her fingers, but forgot all about it.
"Second sister should be the biggest." Xichun said with a smile, "I'm the youngest anyway."
Xiangyun is used to being free and easy, so he simply said: "Let's sisters and sisters scream, after all, they are not too bad."
The old lady pinched her cheek and asked Sister Feng to arrange a place to live.
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Why do you want the old lady to ask, I thought about it early in the morning. Aunt Li took her sisters to live in Daoxiang Village, and she can also kiss and kiss her sister-in-law. And Sister Xing, I think she is a gentle girl. Honestly, living with the second sister is just right."
The old lady looked at Xiangyun: "Young girl Yun should live in Hengwu Garden."
Since Baochai moved out, the house has been empty, and people are often sent to take care of it.Xiangyun nodded in agreement, and immediately the maids went to clean the room.
The old lady told Sister Feng Yinyin: "Even if you live in our house, you should always compare yourself to your own girls. Don't treat them poorly."
She loves neat and beautiful juniors the most, and loves to be lively when she is older.Sister Feng knew Jia Mu's temper well, so she agreed.
The three new sisters could read and break characters, write lyrics and compose poems, and Xiangyun couldn't think better than Daiyu. After getting acquainted with each other for a while, Tanchun proposed to open a winter poetry club.
It has been snowing heavily for the past few days, and Xiangyun is always thinking about setting up a stove to roast meat to eat, so he immediately helped to organize it, and hastily opened a club.
The location is set in the Luxue Court, the window is surrounded by snow when it is opened, and it can be closed even if it is cold, which is very cheap.The few people had no objection, and hurriedly adjusted their clothes and went there.
Xing Xiuyan is a down-and-out lady with a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, she is very shy in her pocket, and even the monthly money issued by the old lady is being withheld by Mrs. Xing, and she has no clothes to keep out the cold when it snows heavily.
Seeing that Yingchun couldn't bear it, she packed up her big clothes and put them on for her, and secretly sent Xiuju to talk to Sister Feng.
All the sisters arrived at once, and there were some red felt feathers in the white snow, which were very pretty.
Xichun looked at each one for a while, then said with a smile, "I see Sister Lin's shoes are very pretty."
On Daiyu's feet are a pair of red fragrant sheepskin boots pinched with gold and digging clouds. The red sheepskin is rare at first, and even rarer is the edge of the cloud pierced on the upper.
Li Wan often taught his sisters the kung fu of needlework. Although he didn't put much effort into learning it, he had seen it a lot and knew how difficult this technique was.
Such good things, only the old lady can find a few of them in the whole house.
Daiyu blushed slightly, and pulled the crane cloak covered with red feathers and white fox fur to cover her feet, "We have to start the charcoal fire quickly."
All of a sudden, the fire was burning, and the various deer, deer, civet cats, and beef and mutton that were often eaten by the kitchen were spread one by one on the wire mesh, and Xiangyun turned them one by one and sprinkled salt.
Everyone laughed and said: "I haven't written the poem yet, let's eat the meat first!"
Wukong only cared about the work of copying for them, so he laid out the paper first, put the pen and ink on it, and hurriedly raised his feet to stand beside Daiyu.
"Sister, are you happy or not?"
Daiyu's ear was warm, she lowered her head and let out a low "huh".The voice was like mosquitoes and flies, but Wukong still heard it, and couldn't help grinning, his shoulders trembling.
The old lady and Lin Ruhai originally wanted to keep it a secret, but they already knew what they should know, and they just waited for the two Yu'er to grow up.
The sisters play together all day long. Although they have different temperaments, they are not difficult to get along with. Gradually, they really feel like a family.
Two years passed, and Liang Heng hoped for nothing, and finally waited until the old lady let go and set the wedding date.
Yingchun had embroidered the mandarin ducks long ago, and seeing the batches of red satin sent by Sister Feng, she felt ashamed that the jade face like a hibiscus was redder than the satin.
Siqixiuju and the others were busy threading needles, seeing the girl like this, they also followed Xiafei's cheeks.
To welcome the spring and prepare for marriage, the sisters will discuss what gifts to give while they are locked in the house every day to embroider the wedding dress.
Sister Feng was busy buying all kinds of boxed dowry items for Yingchun, ranging from small wood for making boxes to large ones for making the wedding bed.
"It's rare for you to be so attentive."
Jia Lian has been used to seeing her doing good deeds over the years, but she is still in a daze, feeling that she should be a decisive tigress.
Sister Feng glanced at him, then lowered her head to check the book, "In any case, our sister Qiao will also go through it once, I am familiar with it, and it is good to practice."
The embroidered curtain was opened, and the little girl helped Ping'er in. Sister Feng saw that she was pregnant and wanted to salute, so she raised her voice and stopped.
"You don't think about yourself, you also think about the one in your stomach."
Ping'er stood still, shook his head and said with a smile, "Why be so careful."
Seeing that everything was in a hurry in Sister Feng's hands, she took a look at the dowry booklet and checked out the missing ones one by one.
Sister Feng calculated the money, and when she saw the old god Jia Lian drinking tea on the ground, she couldn't help but slammed the account book: "We are both busy here like headless chickens, but this serious brother seems to be okay."
Jia Lian knew that she was caught off guard in a hurry, so she quickly stood up and went outside: "I'll take Brother Xun to greet his grandfather."
Jia Amnesty was lost in his study, when he heard that his precious grandson was coming, he hurriedly asked him to come in.
Brother Xun is nearly four years old in falsehood, and two and a half years old in real life, just the age when he loves to mutter and learn to speak. Jia She hugged him in his arms and teased him to call him "grandfather".
Jia Lian was used to sitting on a cold bench, and didn't want to be greeted by anyone, so he sat and drank tea by himself.
"How is the daughter-in-law busy?" The grandson obediently called out several times. Jia She was in a good mood and was willing to give his son a smile.
"I've got all the small things, only a few big ones are missing." Jia Lian made some calculations in his mind, "I'm afraid it's not enough money."
When the girls go out, the business pays 1 taels, and the old lady has another 3000 taels of silver in the box.
The 1 taels of dowry was originally very generous and decent.It's just that the price of wood has risen sharply in the past two years, and a single red sandalwood bed cost 3000 taels, leaving a deficit of 1000 taels.
Not to mention the cost of tables, chairs, benches, cabinets and suitcases.
Mrs. Xing originally promised 2000 taels, but Sister Feng never saw the money, and she couldn't come to ask for it, so she let her put it on hold.
Jia Amnesty looked up at him: "What are you saying?"
"Feng girl's newly made two pairs of red gold heads and masks, and another 1000 taels of red seals. I didn't take the money with me, but only allocated a village in the suburbs to my second sister."
The Zhuangzi also brought some field tenants and a pond where he could grow lotus and raise fish.
"It's still left by your mother, it's hard for you to give up."
Jia She was silent for a moment, and showed him the list on the desk, "I wrote this for the old lady before going to the battlefield the year before last."
When Jia Lian saw that it was the distribution of property behind him, he couldn't help but give him a big hand.
"The big head is yours after all, remember to pass it on to Xun'er."
Jia Amnesty waved him out, "Opened the warehouse and asked Feng girl to pick out the things and put them in the second girl's dowry."
Sister Feng was silent for a while after receiving the order, and took Caiming Feng'er to open a big house and a private warehouse.
Mrs. Xing's eyes turned red, but she didn't dare to quarrel with Jia She, so she had to close the door to sulk.
On the eighth day of the third month, Liang Heng dressed in red and rode a divine steed on a white horse to meet the bride at Rongguo Mansion.
Yingchun shed tears to bid farewell to grandmother, father and aunt, and thanked Jia Lian and his wife. After talking with the sisters one by one, she was carried by her elder brother into the sedan chair of Liang's family.
Wukong made things difficult for Liang Heng once, then went back to look for Daiyu, seeing her red eyes, he hurriedly pulled her to comfort her softly.
"The second brother-in-law is a simple and honest person, and he treats the second sister sincerely, so he must not treat her poorly. Besides, they all live in the capital, so we can always see each other."
Lin Ruhai also praised Liang Heng a lot when he mentioned Liang Heng, but Daiyu was not worried, but seeing that the brocade building was empty, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Xing Xiuyan married Xue Biao a few years ago, and now Yingchun is also gone, the girls let go, and the dowry, after all, they can't play around like in the boudoir.
The masters felt a little melancholy, and the maids were also full of parting sorrow.
Siqi laughed and said, "Although I went out, I went there to live a good life. You all have mournful faces, are you cursing me?"
Yuanyang spat at her, then handed her the bundle in her arms, "We have a lot of food and clothing inside, and there is always money in the account every month, but you are not so safe when you go outside. Don't refuse our friendship over the years, It's all on my mind."
Zicuckoo, Musk Moon, Shishu, and Ruhua also had something to give away, and some little sisters in the old lady's room came to give gifts.
Seeing that the girl's sedan chair was far away, Siqi waved to his sisters, turned around and went out through the back door.
Her cousin Pan You'an was standing beside the ox cart, blushing and staring at her bewilderedly.
There is only one elder in the Liang family, the old grandmother. Although the female relatives of Cheng'en Gong's mansion came to show affection, they were indifferent on both sides, and they only followed the others to see the bride, regardless of any relationship.
Yingchun looked shy, but she managed not to show her timidity.The wives of each family praised "Everyone's demeanor", and went to congratulate the old lady Liang on her happy marriage.
Originally they found out that the bride was a concubine, but they still looked down upon her.I just feel that the grandparents of the Liang family came from the poor place in southern Yunnan. Seeing that they were born in the Duke's mansion, they don't even ask about their concubines, so they are like fairies.
Unexpectedly, on that day, the newlyweds showed off their dowry. In addition to the betrothal gifts from the Liang family, as well as the usual colorful silks and satins and hairdos, there were even noble concubines in the palace who sent people to add makeup to help out.
That's all for a noble concubine, after all, they are all girls from the Jia family, so Liang Heng is also the second rank of the imperial court, just trying to show favor.
What is really astonishing is the two big boxes full of gold and stone antiques and rare famous paintings.
These are all priceless treasures.
The first-class general Jia She Aizhen has heard of the name of playing, but I didn't expect him to accumulate these treasures, and I didn't expect him to give the treasures to this mere concubine.
Lian's second grandma is a powerful person in her boudoir, and Lian's second master can't wait to grow up with eight minded people.The husband and wife are willing to give up their things!
After careful inquiry, although the bride is a concubine, she is actually the only daughter of a first-class general. Since she was young, she was brought up by Mrs. Shi and taught by Lian's second grandmother.
Just look at the generous dowry, no amount of money can compare to it, the bride's waist is really hard.
Mrs. Liang is an open-minded and kind person. Marrying a granddaughter-in-law only depends on her character, and whether her grandson likes it or not, she never cared about these common etiquettes.
She ordered the meals for the bride, and she didn't let anyone disturb her, she just took the wives outside to talk at the banquet.
The food was made according to Yingchun's taste, she didn't dare to use more, she ate half full indiscriminately, and let the girls eat it, so she sat aside and read a book.
Xiuju didn't know why the girl was reading the book, so she suddenly became anxious, and asked her in a low voice: "Your lady wants to go to the toilet?"
"Need not."
Yingchun turned her face away, covered the album on her lap with her sleeves, and spat in a low voice: "This rogue settles down..."
This map of avoiding the fire was given by Sister Feng last night. It was mysterious and didn't say what it was for, but I just told her to read it today.
Sister Feng's original words were: "This is a good thing I picked out of thousands of people, and your second brother also agreed."
Yingchun's face turned red just by looking at it, she didn't know how to move her hands and feet in embarrassment, what to do at night...
There is no one in the army who is not good at drinking, especially this Liang Heng. He started from the bottom. If he wants to be promoted, he has to socialize with his superiors and colleagues more, and drink three-point friendship.
But Jia Lian and Wukong are not cowards, and even the group of drunkards who came to congratulate him in front of the palace, while pushing the cups and changing the cups, their tongues swelled out at some point, and they stared bewilderedly as if they couldn't do it anymore.
Wukong stopped the drinker and ordered the servant to take him to sober up, but his heart was clear.
Liang Heng is really drunk.
After sobering up, she woke up in the backyard, and when Xiuju opened the door, she shivered in fright when she saw that the uncle was smelling of alcohol.
The second master Lian in their house is handsome and thin, and the second master Bao has not grown up yet. This Liang Heng is tall and strong, standing at the door like a rockery.
Yingchun hid the fire-avoiding map under the pillow, and wanted to ask him to wash up, but she was too shy to open her mouth.
"Don't be afraid, I came back pretending to be drunk." Liang Heng also blushed, not sure if it was the smell of alcohol or something else.
When Yingchun saw that gaze, her heart trembled twice.
"As a concubine, as a concubine, I serve..."
Liang Heng grasped her pair of jade hands, fixedly stared at the pair of tender eyes with water, and said with a deep smile in his voice, "Don't bother me, I'll go and wash and I'll be back."
The silk, bamboo and flute pipes in the front are endless, and there is even the laughter of the guests.It was quiet in the backyard, Xiuju was staring at the high hanging red lantern, when she saw the bathed uncle coming in a hurry, she hurriedly dodged to guard the door.
The second grandma said, don't let anyone disturb you at this time, not even the heavenly king or Lao Tzu!
The Qianhong wedding tent was slowly lowered, the dragon and phoenix candle light danced lightly, and a row of red wax tears fell.
After the drums sounded three times, Yingchun stared at the shaking tent of hundreds of sons and grandsons with tears in her eyes, sniffed the fragrance of water and agarwood, and opened her mouth to spit out a string of nonsense...
On the day when Sanchao returned home, Yingchun helped her husband-in-law's arm to get off the carriage, and the blue silk had already been tied into the woman's hair bun.
Her complexion was rosy, and her eyes were full of joy and spring. Occasionally, when she met Liang Heng's eyes, she blushed and avoided them, just like a shy newlywed couple.
Everyone could see clearly, and they felt more satisfied with Liang Heng, this uncle.After they paid homage to their elders one by one, Jia Lian pulled his sister-in-law outside and let the girls talk inside.
The old lady held hands and kept saying "yes", and asked about her daily life in Liang's house.
Yingchun lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly: "The old lady has given me all the keys to the cards, and the manager and mothers are familiar with each other..."
The Liang family has a simple population, so it is not difficult to manage it.
The old lady herself started as a grandson's daughter-in-law, and she knows how hard it is.But Liang Heng's parents are dead, and this old lady Liang is open-minded and kind. Yingchun is more fortunate than her, and she doesn't have to be restrained by her double mother-in-law.
"Go kowtow to your mother, and still come back and talk to the little sisters."
Yingchun went, and Madam Xing didn't have anything to say, so she stopped and went back to the room.
After eating, the old lady wanted to take a nap, so Yingchun found time to sit with Sister Feng.
At first, Sister Feng was concerned that she was a boudoir girl, so she had to pay attention to what she said, but now she didn't have to follow the rules, and only said those embarrassing words to her.
"Do you like the fire-avoiding map? I still have a lot here, and I will pick two more for you to take back."
Yingchun was so ashamed by her that she raised her legs and ran into the garden.
The sisters are all innocent little girls, and they only ask trivial things like "how is your brother-in-law treating you?"
Yingchun's heart felt astringent when asked.Although she and Bo Duan also sang in harmony, the happiest days were those in the garden.
"August Qiuwei, remember to tell Brother Bao to work hard. Sisters should also take care of themselves and be filial in front of the old lady."
The evening glow was gorgeous, and the Babaoxiang chariot was parked in front of the Rongguo Mansion, saying goodbye to relatives in the Spring Festival, and boarded the chariot with Liang Heng's support.
Liang He held her hand and said earnestly: "If you miss home, I will bring you back every time I go to rest."
"This is my home, and so is the Liang Mansion." Yingchun leaned her head on his shoulder, "Grandmother is still waiting for us to have dinner."
When Yingchun came out of the pavilion, the old lady saw that all the girls felt too big, so she sent them all to learn from Sister Feng.
Ping'er was pregnant and couldn't be tired. Seeing that there were so many helpers, Sister Feng was so happy that she said she was going to kowtow to the old lady.
Flash forward to August, Jinling wrote to say that everything was fine with Second Master Bao, but the old lady was really restless, and began to eat fast and chant Buddha again.
Mrs. Wang went to the palace for a while, and fell ill when she came back. The old lady no longer locked her up, and let her recuperate behind closed doors in Rongxi Hall.
On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Jin Chuan'er woke up and saw that the bed was empty, so she hurriedly got up to look for it.
Mrs. Wang did not go out of the yard, but chanted scriptures and picked up Buddha beans in the small Buddhist hall at the back.
"Second Master has an exam today, Madam is praying for Second Master's blessing." Cai Yun sighed, pulling Jin Chuan'er to wait outside the door.
On the ninth, [-]th, and [-]th day of the township examination, the old lady and Mrs. Wang continued to be vegetarians.
The Double Ninth Festival was delayed on the water, and Wukong didn't return to the mansion until the eleventh of September. One month and ten days later, the examination papers for the township examination also arrived.
"Jiebao Baoyu Young Master High School Jinling Township Test Leader Jieyuan! The Beijing News even won the yellow armor!"
The old lady accidentally dropped the diorama, and her old eyes looked at the handwritten red list. She vaguely saw that the first name was three ink blobs, and she could vaguely see a jade character.
"Yuanyang!" She rubbed the name several times, and then reluctantly handed it to Yuanyang, "You read it!"
The mandarin duck fixed its eyes on it and said with a smile: "This name is the name of our second master Bao!"
Jiamu's chest heaved violently twice, and she exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
With tears in her eyes, she said: "Your examiner is far away in Jinling, did you thank him before returning home? And those teachers in the Imperial College, although you don't often go to listen to lectures, you must not lose your courtesy. , your Uncle Lin accepted you as a disciple, now that you got to know Yuan by chance, you still have to kowtow to him!"
The sisters sat beside her and looked at Daiyu after hearing the words.
Sister Feng pulled Wukong towards Daiyu, and joked: "Uncle Lin hasn't left the office at this time, so I think it's better to knock sister Lin first!"
The sisters laughed together, and Sister Feng said again: "Sister Lin thinks that this is my cousin and Mr. Xie Yuan. I don't like his gift, so I have to give him another knock..."
The two young children knocked me and I knocked you, it seems like a big gift.
The old lady pointed at Sister Feng, laughed and cursed, and Daiyu was so ashamed that she had no place to put her foot down, and went straight into Jiamu's arms.
"Grandmother, look at Feng girl!"
Wukong looked at her exposed crimson and bleeding earlobes, stood up straight with a smile on his face, and cupped his fists at her in a gesture of gesture.
"Although my uncle is my serious teacher, sister Lin also explained "Mencius" to me. The teacher of one word cannot be ignored, and my sister should be honored by me."
Daiyu became more and more ashamed, hiding in the old lady's arms and could not come out.
"Okay, one or two will bully Miss Lin." The old lady patted her on the back to protect her short-sightedness, "She is thin-skinned when she is young, if she laughs and annoys her, I will not obey."
That's all for everyone.
Jia's mother said to Wukong: "Your father can't come back from other places, so you wrote a letter to announce the good news, and then went to Rongxi Hall to report the happy news to your mother, and then went to your Uncle Lin's house to wait."
Wukong glanced at Daiyu, then turned around and left.
Sister Feng handed the red list to Tanchun, and said with a smile: "Third sister, let's see, what is the ranking of that precious jade from the Zhen family."
The last time he was asked to take the case, although the sisters didn't say anything, they were a little bit concerned.Tanchun understood what she meant and hurriedly scanned the names.
"seventh."
The old lady raised the corner of her mouth, then suppressed it reservedly, and said in her mouth: "Perhaps I missed it for a while, let's see in Chunwei."
Yuanchun in the palace also got the news, and it was rare to see joy in his illness.
"At first, he was selected as a tribute, because he thought that he would be able to be in Jingchunwei directly after missing a rural examination. I didn't expect Baoyu to be so ambitious, and he was willing to travel to Jinling."
Baochai smiled slightly and said: "When my concubine was living in Rongguo Mansion, I saw that Second Master Bao was smart and hardworking. It would be no problem if I wanted to come to high school."
Yuan Chun's eyes were fixed on her sideburns, and after a while he said slowly, "Really?"
After hastily turning the year, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion held their breath, for fear of blowing away Lu Xinggong on the head of Second Master Bao.
Wukong was still as lazy as usual, either joking with his sisters or wandering in the garden, he didn't take Eryue Chunwei to heart at all.
The girls were afraid that he would waste his studies, so they tried to persuade him, but they were also afraid that he would become nervous and deteriorate his standards.Seeing him standing next to Daiyu every day, I feel a little bit in a dilemma.
The old lady had no idea, so she had to find Daiyu to speak.
"Girl Lin, you are a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, and your father hired you a school teacher with a serious background in the imperial examination." The old lady looked at Daiyu's expression carefully and asked, "Look, is Baoyu's fire ready?" ?”
Jia's mother went to the doctor in a hurry. Daiyu smiled bitterly in her heart, but she still said: "Father used to say that as long as Baoyu makes no mistakes in current affairs, he can choose from the first to the third."
The old lady's heart was pounding, and she breathed out: "You still can't talk too much, as long as he can win, he is also worthy of the top three."
The Jia family's descendants Congwen was decided by the Grandpa Guo before his death, but the family didn't have any good material for studying, so she just thought about it.
Who would have thought that Baoyu would inherit the will of the old Duke, and it was obvious that his family was about to change his family.
As soon as it entered February, after sewing a lot of single-clothes and boots for Wukong, and tidying up the charcoal fire for the stove and other small items, the Rongguo Mansion completely stopped.
On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Jia Lian personally sent Wukong to the examination hall, and Mingyan Li Gui stayed outside day and night, just waiting for the second master Bao to come out.
The test will last for nine days, and unless you are about to die, you are not allowed to come out.
After finally finishing the exam, Ming Yan and the two saw that all the masters were walking in a flutter, and couldn't help worrying about their second master.
Li Gui hesitated and said: "Second Master, who has been on the battlefield, should...don't worry about it?"
Mingyan was also confused, so she just looked towards the door.
Wukong saw the two idle boys at a glance, and stepped into the carriage, "Don't rush back home, let's see if there are any exquisite gadgets and buy a few."
Li Gui and Mingyan looked at each other and spread their hands.
Come on, don't worry about it!
The announcement of the rankings will not be until March, and the palace examination will be in early April.Seeing her grandson come back from shopping after the exam, Mother Jia didn't know whether to let him look for Lin Ruhaimo's paper.
Lin Ruhai, a teacher, was very conscientious. He went straight to Rongguo Mansion as soon as he got out of the Yamen, firstly to pick up his daughter home, and secondly to see how he did in the exam.
Wukong handed over the silent stack of papers, his eyes only on Daiyu.
When he took the exam, my sister had passed her 14th birthday!
Next year, next year, it will be ready!
Lin Ruhai read the paper overnight, afraid that his old mother-in-law would worry, so he sent someone to answer the next day.
"My lord, please don't worry, the old lady, the second master Bao is always in the first class."
His knowledge is impeccable, and he is the younger brother of a noble concubine. It only depends on what the emperor wants to give him.
On the day when the list was released in March, Jia Lian got up to wash up before dawn, and didn't care about eating, so he hurried out with his servant.
The old lady also woke up early, staring blankly at the waning moon outside the window.
The red-maned horse was running fast, and the city inspector turned his head and asked his subordinates: "Who is that horseman, write down the name and bring it up for accountability!"
The subordinates saw that the man on the horse quickly entered the Rongguo Mansion, counted the days, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, Rongguo Mansion Bao Erye's final exam, today's announcement."
The mandarin ducks were guarding outside the courtyard, and when they saw Jia Lian rushing towards him, they shouted, "Second Master Lian is back!"
The author has something to say: Fortunately, I reined in the precipice, otherwise I would be in trouble, hum 030

His father, Wang Zisheng, sent him to the middle of the capital to give Wang Ziteng a new year gift, and he was also planning to stay in Beijing to learn how to raise his eyebrows and lower his eyes, and then talk about a marriage.
The Xue family also has a branch in Jinling, who is a direct cousin of Xue Pan, named Xue Bian.His father was an official before his death, and he had a close relationship with Mei Hanlin, so he gave his little daughter Baoqin to Mei's family.Now that his father's filial piety is full, he brought his sister to Beijing to discuss marriage with the Mei family.
The Wang family was very powerful, so he went to Beijing with Wang Ren to take care of each other.While berthing the boat halfway, I chatted with the other two families, they were all relatives of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion, and they wanted to leave together.
After a long boat trip to the capital, because Baochai had gone to the palace, and Aunt Xue and Xue Pan lived in their own courtyard in the capital, Xue Biao said goodbye to everyone and went to Xue's house with his sister Baoqin.
Wang Renzi went to his uncle Wang Ziteng, and the rest boarded the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
That Xing Zhong came to Beijing with his wife and daughter and his family to join his younger sister, Mrs. Xing, and the other was Aunt Li Wan and two cousins, Li Wen and Li Qi.
Mrs. Wang recuperated in the Rongxi Hall, and there was never any excitement, so only Mrs. Xing and a few young wives and girls came to see her.
The old lady just settled the worries of the "two jade children", and she seemed to be happy for something. When she saw the three little girls who looked like water onions, she hurriedly pulled them to stop.
Sister Feng prepared wine and food for them to eat first, raised her feet to stand on the back, and told Ping'er: "Go and see what the second master is doing, the elder is lazy, so Uncle Xing always wants to say hello. "
Mrs. Xing's family is not rich, and she can see that the whole family looks up to her.She has always been a stingy person, and most of the time she has to push it to herself.
Sister Feng is in charge of the house, so she is not afraid of these trivial matters.The three mothers and daughters of the Li family definitely lived in Daoxiang Village. The sister-in-law Zhu was young and widowed, and she was a chaste woman, so her aunt and sister had to take extra care of her, which made the old lady happy.
As for the Xing family, most likely only the young lady Xing Xiuyan was left to live in the garden.
After eating for a while, each cleaned their hands, and then went to talk to the old lady again.
Mother Jia smiled and glanced at Daiyu. She used to be a granddaughter by blood, but now she is another granddaughter-in-law.
The old lady looked at the girls again, and said with a smile: "There are so many girls here all at once, I don't know how old they are?"
Aunt Li and Mrs. Xing each told their daughter's age. The old lady remembered it at first, but she counted it with her fingers, but forgot all about it.
"Second sister should be the biggest." Xichun said with a smile, "I'm the youngest anyway."
Xiangyun is used to being free and easy, so he simply said: "Let's sisters and sisters scream, after all, they are not too bad."
The old lady pinched her cheek and asked Sister Feng to arrange a place to live.
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Why do you want the old lady to ask, I thought about it early in the morning. Aunt Li took her sisters to live in Daoxiang Village, and she can also kiss and kiss her sister-in-law. And Sister Xing, I think she is a gentle girl. Honestly, living with the second sister is just right."
The old lady looked at Xiangyun: "Young girl Yun should live in Hengwu Garden."
Since Baochai moved out, the house has been empty, and people are often sent to take care of it.Xiangyun nodded in agreement, and immediately the maids went to clean the room.
The old lady told Sister Feng Yinyin: "Even if you live in our house, you should always compare yourself to your own girls. Don't treat them poorly."
She loves neat and beautiful juniors the most, and loves to be lively when she is older.Sister Feng knew Jia Mu's temper well, so she agreed.
The three new sisters could read and break characters, write lyrics and compose poems, and Xiangyun couldn't think better than Daiyu. After getting acquainted with each other for a while, Tanchun proposed to open a winter poetry club.
It has been snowing heavily for the past few days, and Xiangyun is always thinking about setting up a stove to roast meat to eat, so he immediately helped to organize it, and hastily opened a club.
The location is set in the Luxue Court, the window is surrounded by snow when it is opened, and it can be closed even if it is cold, which is very cheap.The few people had no objection, and hurriedly adjusted their clothes and went there.
Xing Xiuyan is a down-and-out lady with a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, she is very shy in her pocket, and even the monthly money issued by the old lady is being withheld by Mrs. Xing, and she has no clothes to keep out the cold when it snows heavily.
Seeing that Yingchun couldn't bear it, she packed up her big clothes and put them on for her, and secretly sent Xiuju to talk to Sister Feng.
All the sisters arrived at once, and there were some red felt feathers in the white snow, which were very pretty.
Xichun looked at each one for a while, then said with a smile, "I see Sister Lin's shoes are very pretty."
On Daiyu's feet are a pair of red fragrant sheepskin boots pinched with gold and digging clouds. The red sheepskin is rare at first, and even rarer is the edge of the cloud pierced on the upper.
Li Wan often taught his sisters the kung fu of needlework. Although he didn't put much effort into learning it, he had seen it a lot and knew how difficult this technique was.
Such good things, only the old lady can find a few of them in the whole house.
Daiyu blushed slightly, and pulled the crane cloak covered with red feathers and white fox fur to cover her feet, "We have to start the charcoal fire quickly."
All of a sudden, the fire was burning, and the various deer, deer, civet cats, and beef and mutton that were often eaten by the kitchen were spread one by one on the wire mesh, and Xiangyun turned them one by one and sprinkled salt.
Everyone laughed and said: "I haven't written the poem yet, let's eat the meat first!"
Wukong only cared about the work of copying for them, so he laid out the paper first, put the pen and ink on it, and hurriedly raised his feet to stand beside Daiyu.
"Sister, are you happy or not?"
Daiyu's ear was warm, she lowered her head and let out a low "huh".The voice was like mosquitoes and flies, but Wukong still heard it, and couldn't help grinning, his shoulders trembling.
The old lady and Lin Ruhai originally wanted to keep it a secret, but they already knew what they should know, and they just waited for the two Yu'er to grow up.
The sisters play together all day long. Although they have different temperaments, they are not difficult to get along with. Gradually, they really feel like a family.
Two years passed, and Liang Heng hoped for nothing, and finally waited until the old lady let go and set the wedding date.
Yingchun had embroidered the mandarin ducks long ago, and seeing the batches of red satin sent by Sister Feng, she felt ashamed that the jade face like a hibiscus was redder than the satin.
Siqixiuju and the others were busy threading needles, seeing the girl like this, they also followed Xiafei's cheeks.
To welcome the spring and prepare for marriage, the sisters will discuss what gifts to give while they are locked in the house every day to embroider the wedding dress.
Sister Feng was busy buying all kinds of boxed dowry items for Yingchun, ranging from small wood for making boxes to large ones for making the wedding bed.
"It's rare for you to be so attentive."
Jia Lian has been used to seeing her doing good deeds over the years, but she is still in a daze, feeling that she should be a decisive tigress.
Sister Feng glanced at him, then lowered her head to check the book, "In any case, our sister Qiao will also go through it once, I am familiar with it, and it is good to practice."
The embroidered curtain was opened, and the little girl helped Ping'er in. Sister Feng saw that she was pregnant and wanted to salute, so she raised her voice and stopped.
"You don't think about yourself, you also think about the one in your stomach."
Ping'er stood still, shook his head and said with a smile, "Why be so careful."
Seeing that everything was in a hurry in Sister Feng's hands, she took a look at the dowry booklet and checked out the missing ones one by one.
Sister Feng calculated the money, and when she saw the old god Jia Lian drinking tea on the ground, she couldn't help but slammed the account book: "We are both busy here like headless chickens, but this serious brother seems to be okay."
Jia Lian knew that she was caught off guard in a hurry, so she quickly stood up and went outside: "I'll take Brother Xun to greet his grandfather."
Jia Amnesty was lost in his study, when he heard that his precious grandson was coming, he hurriedly asked him to come in.
Brother Xun is nearly four years old in falsehood, and two and a half years old in real life, just the age when he loves to mutter and learn to speak. Jia She hugged him in his arms and teased him to call him "grandfather".
Jia Lian was used to sitting on a cold bench, and didn't want to be greeted by anyone, so he sat and drank tea by himself.
"How is the daughter-in-law busy?" The grandson obediently called out several times. Jia She was in a good mood and was willing to give his son a smile.
"I've got all the small things, only a few big ones are missing." Jia Lian made some calculations in his mind, "I'm afraid it's not enough money."
When the girls go out, the business pays 1 taels, and the old lady has another 3000 taels of silver in the box.
The 1 taels of dowry was originally very generous and decent.It's just that the price of wood has risen sharply in the past two years, and a single red sandalwood bed cost 3000 taels, leaving a deficit of 1000 taels.
Not to mention the cost of tables, chairs, benches, cabinets and suitcases.
Mrs. Xing originally promised 2000 taels, but Sister Feng never saw the money, and she couldn't come to ask for it, so she let her put it on hold.
Jia Amnesty looked up at him: "What are you saying?"
"Feng girl's newly made two pairs of red gold heads and masks, and another 1000 taels of red seals. I didn't take the money with me, but only allocated a village in the suburbs to my second sister."
The Zhuangzi also brought some field tenants and a pond where he could grow lotus and raise fish.
"It's still left by your mother, it's hard for you to give up."
Jia She was silent for a moment, and showed him the list on the desk, "I wrote this for the old lady before going to the battlefield the year before last."
When Jia Lian saw that it was the distribution of property behind him, he couldn't help but give him a big hand.
"The big head is yours after all, remember to pass it on to Xun'er."
Jia Amnesty waved him out, "Opened the warehouse and asked Feng girl to pick out the things and put them in the second girl's dowry."
Sister Feng was silent for a while after receiving the order, and took Caiming Feng'er to open a big house and a private warehouse.
Mrs. Xing's eyes turned red, but she didn't dare to quarrel with Jia She, so she had to close the door to sulk.
On the eighth day of the third month, Liang Heng dressed in red and rode a divine steed on a white horse to meet the bride at Rongguo Mansion.
Yingchun shed tears to bid farewell to grandmother, father and aunt, and thanked Jia Lian and his wife. After talking with the sisters one by one, she was carried by her elder brother into the sedan chair of Liang's family.
Wukong made things difficult for Liang Heng once, then went back to look for Daiyu, seeing her red eyes, he hurriedly pulled her to comfort her softly.
"The second brother-in-law is a simple and honest person, and he treats the second sister sincerely, so he must not treat her poorly. Besides, they all live in the capital, so we can always see each other."
Lin Ruhai also praised Liang Heng a lot when he mentioned Liang Heng, but Daiyu was not worried, but seeing that the brocade building was empty, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Xing Xiuyan married Xue Biao a few years ago, and now Yingchun is also gone, the girls let go, and the dowry, after all, they can't play around like in the boudoir.
The masters felt a little melancholy, and the maids were also full of parting sorrow.
Siqi laughed and said, "Although I went out, I went there to live a good life. You all have mournful faces, are you cursing me?"
Yuanyang spat at her, then handed her the bundle in her arms, "We have a lot of food and clothing inside, and there is always money in the account every month, but you are not so safe when you go outside. Don't refuse our friendship over the years, It's all on my mind."
Zicuckoo, Musk Moon, Shishu, and Ruhua also had something to give away, and some little sisters in the old lady's room came to give gifts.
Seeing that the girl's sedan chair was far away, Siqi waved to his sisters, turned around and went out through the back door.
Her cousin Pan You'an was standing beside the ox cart, blushing and staring at her bewilderedly.
There is only one elder in the Liang family, the old grandmother. Although the female relatives of Cheng'en Gong's mansion came to show affection, they were indifferent on both sides, and they only followed the others to see the bride, regardless of any relationship.
Yingchun looked shy, but she managed not to show her timidity.The wives of each family praised "Everyone's demeanor", and went to congratulate the old lady Liang on her happy marriage.
Originally they found out that the bride was a concubine, but they still looked down upon her.I just feel that the grandparents of the Liang family came from the poor place in southern Yunnan. Seeing that they were born in the Duke's mansion, they don't even ask about their concubines, so they are like fairies.
Unexpectedly, on that day, the newlyweds showed off their dowry. In addition to the betrothal gifts from the Liang family, as well as the usual colorful silks and satins and hairdos, there were even noble concubines in the palace who sent people to add makeup to help out.
That's all for a noble concubine, after all, they are all girls from the Jia family, so Liang Heng is also the second rank of the imperial court, just trying to show favor.
What is really astonishing is the two big boxes full of gold and stone antiques and rare famous paintings.
These are all priceless treasures.
The first-class general Jia She Aizhen has heard of the name of playing, but I didn't expect him to accumulate these treasures, and I didn't expect him to give the treasures to this mere concubine.
Lian's second grandma is a powerful person in her boudoir, and Lian's second master can't wait to grow up with eight minded people.The husband and wife are willing to give up their things!
After careful inquiry, although the bride is a concubine, she is actually the only daughter of a first-class general. Since she was young, she was brought up by Mrs. Shi and taught by Lian's second grandmother.
Just look at the generous dowry, no amount of money can compare to it, the bride's waist is really hard.
Mrs. Liang is an open-minded and kind person. Marrying a granddaughter-in-law only depends on her character, and whether her grandson likes it or not, she never cared about these common etiquettes.
She ordered the meals for the bride, and she didn't let anyone disturb her, she just took the wives outside to talk at the banquet.
The food was made according to Yingchun's taste, she didn't dare to use more, she ate half full indiscriminately, and let the girls eat it, so she sat aside and read a book.
Xiuju didn't know why the girl was reading the book, so she suddenly became anxious, and asked her in a low voice: "Your lady wants to go to the toilet?"
"Need not."
Yingchun turned her face away, covered the album on her lap with her sleeves, and spat in a low voice: "This rogue settles down..."
This map of avoiding the fire was given by Sister Feng last night. It was mysterious and didn't say what it was for, but I just told her to read it today.
Sister Feng's original words were: "This is a good thing I picked out of thousands of people, and your second brother also agreed."
Yingchun's face turned red just by looking at it, she didn't know how to move her hands and feet in embarrassment, what to do at night...
There is no one in the army who is not good at drinking, especially this Liang Heng. He started from the bottom. If he wants to be promoted, he has to socialize with his superiors and colleagues more, and drink three-point friendship.
But Jia Lian and Wukong are not cowards, and even the group of drunkards who came to congratulate him in front of the palace, while pushing the cups and changing the cups, their tongues swelled out at some point, and they stared bewilderedly as if they couldn't do it anymore.
Wukong stopped the drinker and ordered the servant to take him to sober up, but his heart was clear.
Liang Heng is really drunk.
After sobering up, she woke up in the backyard, and when Xiuju opened the door, she shivered in fright when she saw that the uncle was smelling of alcohol.
The second master Lian in their house is handsome and thin, and the second master Bao has not grown up yet. This Liang Heng is tall and strong, standing at the door like a rockery.
Yingchun hid the fire-avoiding map under the pillow, and wanted to ask him to wash up, but she was too shy to open her mouth.
"Don't be afraid, I came back pretending to be drunk." Liang Heng also blushed, not sure if it was the smell of alcohol or something else.
When Yingchun saw that gaze, her heart trembled twice.
"As a concubine, as a concubine, I serve..."
Liang Heng grasped her pair of jade hands, fixedly stared at the pair of tender eyes with water, and said with a deep smile in his voice, "Don't bother me, I'll go and wash and I'll be back."
The silk, bamboo and flute pipes in the front are endless, and there is even the laughter of the guests.It was quiet in the backyard, Xiuju was staring at the high hanging red lantern, when she saw the bathed uncle coming in a hurry, she hurriedly dodged to guard the door.
The second grandma said, don't let anyone disturb you at this time, not even the heavenly king or Lao Tzu!
The Qianhong wedding tent was slowly lowered, the dragon and phoenix candle light danced lightly, and a row of red wax tears fell.
After the drums sounded three times, Yingchun stared at the shaking tent of hundreds of sons and grandsons with tears in her eyes, sniffed the fragrance of water and agarwood, and opened her mouth to spit out a string of nonsense...
On the day when Sanchao returned home, Yingchun helped her husband-in-law's arm to get off the carriage, and the blue silk had already been tied into the woman's hair bun.
Her complexion was rosy, and her eyes were full of joy and spring. Occasionally, when she met Liang Heng's eyes, she blushed and avoided them, just like a shy newlywed couple.
Everyone could see clearly, and they felt more satisfied with Liang Heng, this uncle.After they paid homage to their elders one by one, Jia Lian pulled his sister-in-law outside and let the girls talk inside.
The old lady held hands and kept saying "yes", and asked about her daily life in Liang's house.
Yingchun lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly: "The old lady has given me all the keys to the cards, and the manager and mothers are familiar with each other..."
The Liang family has a simple population, so it is not difficult to manage it.
The old lady herself started as a grandson's daughter-in-law, and she knows how hard it is.But Liang Heng's parents are dead, and this old lady Liang is open-minded and kind. Yingchun is more fortunate than her, and she doesn't have to be restrained by her double mother-in-law.
"Go kowtow to your mother, and still come back and talk to the little sisters."
Yingchun went, and Madam Xing didn't have anything to say, so she stopped and went back to the room.
After eating, the old lady wanted to take a nap, so Yingchun found time to sit with Sister Feng.
At first, Sister Feng was concerned that she was a boudoir girl, so she had to pay attention to what she said, but now she didn't have to follow the rules, and only said those embarrassing words to her.
"Do you like the fire-avoiding map? I still have a lot here, and I will pick two more for you to take back."
Yingchun was so ashamed by her that she raised her legs and ran into the garden.
The sisters are all innocent little girls, and they only ask trivial things like "how is your brother-in-law treating you?"
Yingchun's heart felt astringent when asked.Although she and Bo Duan also sang in harmony, the happiest days were those in the garden.
"August Qiuwei, remember to tell Brother Bao to work hard. Sisters should also take care of themselves and be filial in front of the old lady."
The evening glow was gorgeous, and the Babaoxiang chariot was parked in front of the Rongguo Mansion, saying goodbye to relatives in the Spring Festival, and boarded the chariot with Liang Heng's support.
Liang He held her hand and said earnestly: "If you miss home, I will bring you back every time I go to rest."
"This is my home, and so is the Liang Mansion." Yingchun leaned her head on his shoulder, "Grandmother is still waiting for us to have dinner."
When Yingchun came out of the pavilion, the old lady saw that all the girls felt too big, so she sent them all to learn from Sister Feng.
Ping'er was pregnant and couldn't be tired. Seeing that there were so many helpers, Sister Feng was so happy that she said she was going to kowtow to the old lady.
Flash forward to August, Jinling wrote to say that everything was fine with Second Master Bao, but the old lady was really restless, and began to eat fast and chant Buddha again.
Mrs. Wang went to the palace for a while, and fell ill when she came back. The old lady no longer locked her up, and let her recuperate behind closed doors in Rongxi Hall.
On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Jin Chuan'er woke up and saw that the bed was empty, so she hurriedly got up to look for it.
Mrs. Wang did not go out of the yard, but chanted scriptures and picked up Buddha beans in the small Buddhist hall at the back.
"Second Master has an exam today, Madam is praying for Second Master's blessing." Cai Yun sighed, pulling Jin Chuan'er to wait outside the door.
On the ninth, [-]th, and [-]th day of the township examination, the old lady and Mrs. Wang continued to be vegetarians.
The Double Ninth Festival was delayed on the water, and Wukong didn't return to the mansion until the eleventh of September. One month and ten days later, the examination papers for the township examination also arrived.
"Jiebao Baoyu Young Master High School Jinling Township Test Leader Jieyuan! The Beijing News even won the yellow armor!"
The old lady accidentally dropped the diorama, and her old eyes looked at the handwritten red list. She vaguely saw that the first name was three ink blobs, and she could vaguely see a jade character.
"Yuanyang!" She rubbed the name several times, and then reluctantly handed it to Yuanyang, "You read it!"
The mandarin duck fixed its eyes on it and said with a smile: "This name is the name of our second master Bao!"
Jiamu's chest heaved violently twice, and she exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
With tears in her eyes, she said: "Your examiner is far away in Jinling, did you thank him before returning home? And those teachers in the Imperial College, although you don't often go to listen to lectures, you must not lose your courtesy. , your Uncle Lin accepted you as a disciple, now that you got to know Yuan by chance, you still have to kowtow to him!"
The sisters sat beside her and looked at Daiyu after hearing the words.
Sister Feng pulled Wukong towards Daiyu, and joked: "Uncle Lin hasn't left the office at this time, so I think it's better to knock sister Lin first!"
The sisters laughed together, and Sister Feng said again: "Sister Lin thinks that this is my cousin and Mr. Xie Yuan. I don't like his gift, so I have to give him another knock..."
The two young children knocked me and I knocked you, it seems like a big gift.
The old lady pointed at Sister Feng, laughed and cursed, and Daiyu was so ashamed that she had no place to put her foot down, and went straight into Jiamu's arms.
"Grandmother, look at Feng girl!"
Wukong looked at her exposed crimson and bleeding earlobes, stood up straight with a smile on his face, and cupped his fists at her in a gesture of gesture.
"Although my uncle is my serious teacher, sister Lin also explained "Mencius" to me. The teacher of one word cannot be ignored, and my sister should be honored by me."
Daiyu became more and more ashamed, hiding in the old lady's arms and could not come out.
"Okay, one or two will bully Miss Lin." The old lady patted her on the back to protect her short-sightedness, "She is thin-skinned when she is young, if she laughs and annoys her, I will not obey."
That's all for everyone.
Jia's mother said to Wukong: "Your father can't come back from other places, so you wrote a letter to announce the good news, and then went to Rongxi Hall to report the happy news to your mother, and then went to your Uncle Lin's house to wait."
Wukong glanced at Daiyu, then turned around and left.
Sister Feng handed the red list to Tanchun, and said with a smile: "Third sister, let's see, what is the ranking of that precious jade from the Zhen family."
The last time he was asked to take the case, although the sisters didn't say anything, they were a little bit concerned.Tanchun understood what she meant and hurriedly scanned the names.
"seventh."
The old lady raised the corner of her mouth, then suppressed it reservedly, and said in her mouth: "Perhaps I missed it for a while, let's see in Chunwei."
Yuanchun in the palace also got the news, and it was rare to see joy in his illness.
"At first, he was selected as a tribute, because he thought that he would be able to be in Jingchunwei directly after missing a rural examination. I didn't expect Baoyu to be so ambitious, and he was willing to travel to Jinling."
Baochai smiled slightly and said: "When my concubine was living in Rongguo Mansion, I saw that Second Master Bao was smart and hardworking. It would be no problem if I wanted to come to high school."
Yuan Chun's eyes were fixed on her sideburns, and after a while he said slowly, "Really?"
After hastily turning the year, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion held their breath, for fear of blowing away Lu Xinggong on the head of Second Master Bao.
Wukong was still as lazy as usual, either joking with his sisters or wandering in the garden, he didn't take Eryue Chunwei to heart at all.
The girls were afraid that he would waste his studies, so they tried to persuade him, but they were also afraid that he would become nervous and deteriorate his standards.Seeing him standing next to Daiyu every day, I feel a little bit in a dilemma.
The old lady had no idea, so she had to find Daiyu to speak.
"Girl Lin, you are a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, and your father hired you a school teacher with a serious background in the imperial examination." The old lady looked at Daiyu's expression carefully and asked, "Look, is Baoyu's fire ready?" ?”
Jia's mother went to the doctor in a hurry. Daiyu smiled bitterly in her heart, but she still said: "Father used to say that as long as Baoyu makes no mistakes in current affairs, he can choose from the first to the third."
The old lady's heart was pounding, and she breathed out: "You still can't talk too much, as long as he can win, he is also worthy of the top three."
The Jia family's descendants Congwen was decided by the Grandpa Guo before his death, but the family didn't have any good material for studying, so she just thought about it.
Who would have thought that Baoyu would inherit the will of the old Duke, and it was obvious that his family was about to change his family.
As soon as it entered February, after sewing a lot of single-clothes and boots for Wukong, and tidying up the charcoal fire for the stove and other small items, the Rongguo Mansion completely stopped.
On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Jia Lian personally sent Wukong to the examination hall, and Mingyan Li Gui stayed outside day and night, just waiting for the second master Bao to come out.
The test will last for nine days, and unless you are about to die, you are not allowed to come out.
After finally finishing the exam, Ming Yan and the two saw that all the masters were walking in a flutter, and couldn't help worrying about their second master.
Li Gui hesitated and said: "Second Master, who has been on the battlefield, should...don't worry about it?"
Mingyan was also confused, so she just looked towards the door.
Wukong saw the two idle boys at a glance, and stepped into the carriage, "Don't rush back home, let's see if there are any exquisite gadgets and buy a few."
Li Gui and Mingyan looked at each other and spread their hands.
Come on, don't worry about it!
The announcement of the rankings will not be until March, and the palace examination will be in early April.Seeing her grandson come back from shopping after the exam, Mother Jia didn't know whether to let him look for Lin Ruhaimo's paper.
Lin Ruhai, a teacher, was very conscientious. He went straight to Rongguo Mansion as soon as he got out of the Yamen, firstly to pick up his daughter home, and secondly to see how he did in the exam.
Wukong handed over the silent stack of papers, his eyes only on Daiyu.
When he took the exam, my sister had passed her 14th birthday!
Next year, next year, it will be ready!
Lin Ruhai read the paper overnight, afraid that his old mother-in-law would worry, so he sent someone to answer the next day.
"My lord, please don't worry, the old lady, the second master Bao is always in the first class."
His knowledge is impeccable, and he is the younger brother of a noble concubine. It only depends on what the emperor wants to give him.
On the day when the list was released in March, Jia Lian got up to wash up before dawn, and didn't care about eating, so he hurried out with his servant.
The old lady also woke up early, staring blankly at the waning moon outside the window.
The red-maned horse was running fast, and the city inspector turned his head and asked his subordinates: "Who is that horseman, write down the name and bring it up for accountability!"
The subordinates saw that the man on the horse quickly entered the Rongguo Mansion, counted the days, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, Rongguo Mansion Bao Erye's final exam, today's announcement."
The mandarin ducks were guarding outside the courtyard, and when they saw Jia Lian rushing towards him, they shouted, "Second Master Lian is back!"
