Cui Ning followed Fu Yuan for a walk around and came back with a lot of things.

"Fifth brother, it's all for you. Cui Ning arrogantly put the thing in front of Wei Qian.

Cui Kuang leaned over and stretched out his hand and flipped through it, looking very disdainful, "What are these things?"

Cui Ning ignored her and counted things, "This is the lantern I won by guessing the riddle, this is the fan I painted, this is the Guihuā sugar, this is the ......"

After she finished counting the same, Wei Qian picked up the fan, "You drew it?"

It is a very simple painting, a large blank space, only with pen and ink to smudge the distant mountains and the bright moon, and there is only one "condensation" word, refreshing and elegant, and the painting work is actually good.

"Well, there are people on the street who set up stalls selling noodles. Cui Ning took out an object from his sleeve and shook it in front of Cui Guo, "I also drew one for you, but I can't look at you, so I won't give it to you." ”

Cui Kuang grabbed it and stuffed it into his pocket, "That's it, my sister painted it, and I have to keep it just by looking at the situation." ”

"My handwriting is not too stingy, you can inscribe it yourself when you want to use it. Cui Ning said to Wei Qian.

"Good. Wei Qian responded.

"Brother Fu, what did the second sister give you?" Cui Kuang suddenly asked.

Fu Yuan raised the fan in his hand, "She drew one for everyone." ”

"I don't care about gifts. Cui Kuang shook his head in disappointment.

Cui Ning retorted, "Why don't you care, how practical! The weather will soon be warm in spring, and it will be useful for decency!"

Cui was speechless, wasn't the Kenben he told her the same thing?

"It's getting late, let's go back. Cui Kuang felt that his second sister had been declining more and more since she lost her memory, and there was no need to save her at all.

"Don't you wait for the eldest sister?" Cui Ning asked.

Cui Kuang had already gotten up to say goodbye to Fu Yuan and Wei Qian, and when he heard this, he came over and pulled her sleeve directly and pulled her out.

"Brother Fu, Fifth Brother. I'm leaving!" Cui Ning turned around and waved his hand.

The two watched them leave.

After walking out of the door, Cui Ning asked again, "Shall we leave like this?"

"The moon is on the willow tops, and people are about after dusk. Who has the time to take care of you? My cousin will send my eldest sister back in a while. Cui Kuang held his little hand behind his back and said helplessly, "You said that you don't care about the things you should care about." What shouldn't be worried is also a blind one. ”

Cui Ning plucked her ears. "You really can talk better than your mother. ”

"Why didn't my mother and I talk about my eldest sister? Cui said.

It seems like...... Is there some truth to that?

Cui Ning was speechless, walked out of Suzaku Street with him, and got into his own carriage.

Night is like water. Long lights are like ferries.

Keeping a year old, and growing older.

After the Chinese New Year, people have not yet come out of the festive atmosphere, and soon it will be the huā red willow green of the new year.

The annual spring festival is about to begin.

This is the first spring that Cui Ning's family has experienced after moving to Chang'an. Ling Ce also participated, so the family was more concerned.

Because it's once a year. Many processes are simplified, and the examination takes place for six consecutive days from the date of the start of the imperial examination, with the first day of the examination of the Ming Classics and the second day of the examination of the Scholars. These two subjects are both regular subjects, followed by the Ming Character Section, the Ming Arithmetic Subject, the History Subject, and the Boy Section.

The Childcare Subject, also known as the Child's Examination, is taken by children under the age of 10. Each state has its own examination centres, the main purpose of which is to take the exam or to qualify for the examination in other subjects. Therefore, it is not particularly concerned.

Because of the Ming Jing and Jinshi examinations, the results will basically be released after the end of the children's examination.

After that, there is the palace exam, and the suspense of the palace exam is not particularly big, because every year it is basically a person who enters the Shike.

The year before last, Fu Yuan was admitted to the top of the Jinshi department, and was appointed as the champion by the saint, there is not much suspense, his talent in poetry is rarely matched, if the champion is not him, it is strange.

And last year is more interesting, although Wei Qian's poetry is good, but it is by no means as amazing as Fu Yuan, there are not a few talents who can compete with him in the Tang Dynasty, because the content of the exam is relatively extensive, not only poetry, Wei Qian is relatively sure that he can win the first place, but the ranking of the palace examination may not necessarily be according to the list, plus he is not very good at showing himself in front of people, if he does not play well and is robbed of the limelight, this champion may not be him, so this talent quietly took the exam five subjects in a row, covering the Ming Sutra, Jinshi, Mingzi, Mingsuan, and Shi are the leaders of the five subjects.

In this way, even if the palace test is average, His Majesty has to think about it seriously.

And this year, the attraction is even bigger.

Most of the people who participated in the imperial examination in the past two years are the younger generation, and there are three candidates for the most powerful winners this year, namely: Ling Ce, a talented son in Chang'an, Xie Yang, a talented son in Jiangzuo, and Chen Zhi, a talented son in Shuzhong.

In the past few days, Cui Jing has not eaten well and slept well, and his round face has rapidly lost weight.

Cui Ning heard a lot about the imperial examination, including the legend of Wei Qian's winning the top prize, so he persuaded her, "Tell my cousin to take a few more subjects?

"What do you know?" Cui gave her a blank look.

"I don't understand, then you can persuade me!" Cui Ning said.

During the imperial examination, the White Crane Academy was also on holiday, so Cui Daoyu had time to get together with the children, "Report a few more subjects, it's just a matter of being very sure, with Wei Changyuan in front, if one or two subjects can't win the first place, it will be a laughing stock." The imperial court attaches the most importance to the Jinshi department, if you don't keep the Jinshi, you can't be named the champion if you take the leader of other departments. ”

"Father, how sure do you think your cousin?" asked Cui Jing.

Cui Daoyu is an official who has never participated in the imperial examination, but he has both talent and experience, and he can roughly see how many points of shape shì, but he looked at his daughter's increasingly thin face, "Why does Jing'er care so much?"

"I can see that my cousin is very concerned and worried. ”

Ling Ce can be admitted to the top prize, although she has a bright face, but if she can't pass the exam, she won't dislike him, it's just that her beloved cares, and she will inevitably worry.

The Ling family, who had been listening for a long time, spoke, "Ce'er himself is not a child who is strong in everything, but he has the burden of the Ling family on his shoulders, and there are some things that he can't afford not to fight, you can't be so unthinkable by his side in the future, you have to be open-minded, and you must learn to understand him." ”

Cui Kuang used to think that his mother was very confused in many things and had a soft temperament, but as he grew older and more knowledgeable, he gradually felt that his mother was a great woman, and the words "great wisdom and foolishness" were very suitable for her.

"Come with me to the study. Cui Daoyu made room for his wife to teach his daughter the truth, and led Cui Kuang to the study for a "friendly" father-son conversation.

The mother and daughter sent them out, and Cui Jingcai said, "My daughter understands, but it's ......"

"But you can't help but worry, right?" Ling Shi held her hand, "Sometimes people enter a dead end, no matter what others say, they can't listen to it, your father is like that." After all, he is the one who can choose which way to go, he is the tip of the horns, and I can only slowly persuade and explain, no matter how difficult it is, I have to accompany him to go down. At that time, I was tormented all the time, and I really wanted to rush to Chang'an and slap him awake, but you have to hold back. ”

Cui Jing was puzzled, "Mother, don't you know that your husband has taken the wrong path, shouldn't you sue him in time?"

"I definitely want to sue him, but how to sue him depends on what kind of character he is, and what you want. Ling Shi smiled slightly, "Why didn't I remind your father at first? I didn't have a good relationship with him for a while, but then I gradually figured out that I just wanted to be in harmony with him, and everything else was secondary. So I began to try to understand him, tolerate him, and slowly discovered his pain, understood the crux of the problem, enlightened him whenever there was a suitable time, tactfully persuaded him, and after a long time, he slowly thought about it. ”

"Hmm. Cui Jingdao: "My daughter understands." ”

Ling smiled with satisfaction and continued, "The way to be a wife lies in softness and rigidity. ”

"What does it mean to be soft and rigid?" Cui Jing was puzzled.

"Men are born with ambition in their bones, and those who are ambitious naturally have conquest*. When you become a wife in the future, you must make him feel that you are dependent on him, and you must treat him with a chaste and gentle side, and do not argue with reason at any time, and once you start arguing with a man, you will fall behind. If you win him, he will feel undignified, and if you lose, you will expose your wolf bèi gaffe in front of him, whether you win or lose, it is not worth it. ”

Cui Jing frowned and said, "Can you just blindly obey?"

"What do you think of Ce'er?" Ling asked rhetorically.

"He's good. Cui Jing was a little shy.

"Isn't that enough? He's not such a bastard, and if you think he's good, what's not to be generous enough to obey him? And the so-called rigidity does not mean that you become strong, but that you have to keep your heart, you have to be able to fulfill your responsibilities, and you must deal with anything with the most calm attitude. In this way, if he is not a bastard, he will truly appreciate and value you from the bottom of his heart. ”

"But what I'm talking about obedience is only about him, and if you get along with each other as husband and wife, if you blindly obey you, you will lose your fun. In the future, you can slowly understand it yourself, and sometimes they will like you to be a little petty. ”

Seeing that the eldest daughter had realized, Ling turned his eyes to look at the younger daughter, "Does Ning'er understand?"

"Ah, ah, little apricots?" Cui Ning, who was wandering outside the world, was named, and hurriedly pretended to be very involved in the topic, and said seriously, "Huā hasn't opened yet, and it will take a few months to eat little apricots, right?"

Ling wanted to teach her a few words, but she couldn't help laughing, and said helplessly, "You!

Cui Ning is not too old or young, and it is a bit early to teach her these things now, but Ling Shi felt that the things she was thinking about all day long in her mind were too simple, and she had to be cultivated from now on, so she left her to listen to it casually when she taught Cui Jing, and she could understand some things with some understanding, who would have thought that this girl would have already run away!

"I listened. Cui Ning saw them laughing and leaned back, and said with a look of grievance, "The way of being a wife that my mother said is the same as the truth of being a lady that my grandmother said, they are all pretending to be clear and hard!" (to be continued)
