Chapter 37: Learning the Rules (II)
Seeing that the day was getting colder, and the New Year was approaching, Hao Ming had been studying until the day of the New Year, and finally stopped learning the rules for a while. This is indeed a rare good news for Ming, but the old county lord has already told her that after the fifth day of the new year, Grandma Sun will come back to continue to teach her the rules and know that the draft day is coming.
Hearing this, Hao Ming couldn't help but complain, Nima's New Year's Day actually took these few days off!!
It's just that under the strict rules and training these days, Hao Ming is naturally dignified and elegant, smiled lightly at the old county lord, and said "yes" softly.
The old county lord bowed his head with great satisfaction, and ordered a few embroidery girls to cut a few more new clothes for her.
After the New Year's pass, Boom began the devil's training days again, in such days, winter gradually faded away, and spring gradually came.
During this period, the biggest joy was the arrival of his brother Xiuqi's wedding day.
The entire Shilang Mansion was lively, but before Xiu Qi got married, there was a small happy event in the mansion, that is, the old county lord personally spoke, and married the eldest girl in his brother's room, Yin Qiuxu, to his brother's little servant Xingzhou as his wife, and the marriage was also quite lively. Hao Ming also asked Banxia to reward the bride with makeup.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter four girls, with Yinqiu's appearance is the most outstanding, at the beginning, I thought that this Yinqiu was ready for the repair of the room. I didn't expect it to be cheaper now.
Actually, the old county lord should indeed have that meaning, but now my brother is going to marry the daughter of Shangshu, and I can't take it lightly, and my brother's future future will also depend on my father-in-law. The old county lord's move is also to express the special importance he attaches to his future granddaughter-in-law.
As soon as this incident came out, Hao Ming also heard that the Ilgen Jueluo family had added another fertile grange to Zhilan's dowry. And Lord Ilgen Jueluo Shangshu Etai also personally took the table word for Xiuqi, which is "Mingde".
The Book of Rites says: Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world in ancient times should first rule their country, those who want to govern their country should first gather their families, and those who want to gather their families should first cultivate their bodies. Cultivating Qi is the meaning of self-cultivation and Qi family, and the ultimate goal of self-cultivation Qi family is "Mingde". Ilgen Jueluo Shangshu gave this table, which is undoubtedly very appropriate. And "Mingde" is also a praise for the virtue of Xiuqi.
Before marriage, he matched the most beautiful big girl around him with a small girl, and there were no roommen and concubines, so virtuous, he can be called a good son-in-law who is one in a hundred. Ilgen Jueluo Shangshu was naturally very satisfied.
In the evening, Hao Ming finished the day's regular training, and Mama Sun finally left. Seeing Banxia coming back, Hao Ming couldn't help but wonder: "Today is Yinqiu's marriage, why did you come back so soon?" - and did not keep the cave room.
As soon as the words came out, Hao Ming realized that Banxia's expression was very lonely, and his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but wonder. The four maids of spring, summer, autumn and winter, they all stayed by the old county lord for two years, they once lived under one roof, and they all had a good relationship, how could they not be happy when they looked at Banxia?
Banxia hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Gege is now only served by the minions, and the minions naturally can't leave for too long." ”
He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered Xingzhou, that kid's appearance was very handsome, not to mention that there was only one brother in the Shilang's mansion, in addition to his brother, there were only a few small servants around him, and among these male servants, especially Xingzhou, was the most handsome and smart. The girls in the house, the most contact on weekdays, is naturally the boat.
Yin Qiu and Xingzhou seem to have been happy for a long time, and this is known. is also because my brother was concentrating on studying before, and he had no intention of Yinqiu, but he fulfilled Xingzhou and Yinqiu. I thought it was a match made in heaven, but I didn't expect her to ...... in Banxia
Banxia has good facial features, but he is not a person with outstanding appearance, so he can only be regarded as pertinent. And Yinqiu looks like a spring flower and an autumn moon, otherwise he would not have been rewarded by his grandmother to his brother. And the one who has the most contact with Xingzhou is naturally Yinqiu, who is with the service and Xiuqi. In this way, of course, Xingzhou and Yinqiu had feelings. And because Xiu Qi wanted to marry Shangshu's daughter, it made their previous marriage a matter of course.
Humming couldn't help but sigh softly, "I have something to tell you." "The date of the draft has been set, there are less than two months left, and when the time comes, if I can be left behind...... According to the rules, even if it is below the concubine, you can choose a maid from your mother's family to arrange to serve in the palace. ”
Banxia smiled faintly, "The slave is willing to follow and serve Gege." ”
Yu Ming shook his head gently: "I remember, you are already seventeen years old, right?"
Banxia nodded.
Hao Ming looked at her seriously, and said earnestly: "A woman's youth can't be delayed, if you are arranged to enter the palace as a palace maid, you will have to be twenty-five years old before you can leave the palace." If you are willing, I can find a way to arrange a marriage for you, or marry a small housekeeper in the house, or a wealthy family outside......" Before he could speak, Banxia shook his head solemnly.
Her expression was extremely resolute, with a resolute look that was different from her usual gentle and submissive attitude: "Slaves don't marry!"
He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly lost his mind.
Banxia Hu's expression was gloomy, "He...... They're all married, and I'm ...... Who else can marry?" As he spoke, a teardrop gradually condensed in Banxia's eyes, but then, Banxia quickly wiped away his tears, raised a smile and looked at him: "What a blessing it is to enter the palace! Not to mention that if a slave becomes a palace maid, the whole family can enter the Baoyi flag as usual, which is not a blessing that everyone can have!"
"Baoyi Banner ......" Baoyi actually means a minion, but a minion who specializes in serving the royal family. Although it is said to be a "slave", it is not a "slave", but a good citizen, compared to the current Banxia family, the whole family is a slave of the Shilang Mansion, it is indeed much stronger. In the future, the men in the family will also be able to study and gain fame. It's just that the daughters born from generations have to participate in the annual small draft of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the right age, and they may be selected into the palace as palace maids - it's just that money can make ghosts grind, and if you are reluctant to let your daughter suffer and spend some silver, she will naturally lose the election.
Although Ming Ming doesn't think that Baoyi Qi is any good, it is indeed an excellent way compared to the current situation of Banxia's family.
With a long sigh, he suddenly thought that at this time, his grandmother gave Yin Qiu Xu to Xingzhou, maybe it was something else...... Her grandmother, who is scheming and calculating, is first-class.
In this way, Humming stopped mentioning the matter.
