Chapter 28: Blessings and Misfortunes

The old county lord went away angrily that day and returned satisfied. That food box has to be said to be a very big horse's foot, and this horse's foot is enough to make the old county lord difficult and fight for the benefits of the family. Ma Jia's Amma, who was promoted to the political envoy of Hubei, was yellow, and was replaced by a son of the side branch of the Nalan clan. In addition, even the Fujin Borzigit clan was recuperating due to illness, and the family affairs in King Kang's mansion were handed over to the side Fujin Wusu clan to take care of, and now that the Wusu clan took over the housework, the first thing was to advance the time for Hui Ke to enter the side of Fujin, saying that it was for Hui Ke Chongxi.

Hao Ming made Poria cake with his own hands and sent it to Xiuqi's room, Xiuqi's spirit has not been very good in the past few days, and he has suffered this calculation and blow, and the person who was originally full of ambition is now listless.

Seeing it in his eyes, he felt a lot of guilt in his heart, and he had to persuade him: "My brother is still young, and he can take the exam again in three years." At the time, my brother was only twenty years old, and he was raised at the age of twenty, which is also very remarkable. ”

Xiu Qi smiled bitterly, "You don't have to comfort me, this time you fell off the list, you can blame it on the plot." But if I ...... What about falling off the list in three years?"

He was taken aback, "Why does my brother have no confidence in himself like this?" Even the dean of Qingtong Academy said that with his brother's talent, if there is no accident, he will be promoted!"

Xiu Qi's face was a little lonely, "There are more talented people in the world, and others don't necessarily work less hard than me, so how much better am I than others?"

"Brother!!" Ming frowned, the most terrible thing is to lose confidence compared to falling off the list.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he glared at Xiu Qi angrily, and reprimanded him with a radical method: "I only failed the list once, and my brother is so depressed! In this case, why do you still take the imperial examination?

Xiu Qi was stunned, and looked at his second sister in a daze, "Ning'er, you ......"

Xingzhou suddenly broke in at this time, but his eyebrows fluttered, "Son, I am very happy!!! The lady of the Shangshu Yiergen Jueluo family of the Ministry of Rites came to visit our old county lord! Oh, Mrs. Shangshu also brought her own daughter, the grandson of Lord Shangshu!"

Xiu Qi didn't understand for a while.

Hao Ming couldn't help but smile, and she hurriedly asked, "How old is the Shangshu family's Gege this year?"

Xingzhou smiled and said: "Seventeen years old, two months younger than Gongye!"

He smiled with a smile, "So, next year will be over the age of the year, and there is no need to run for election again." -- There is also an age limit for the triennial draft, which has always been between the ages of 13 and 17. This rule continued until the middle of the Qianlong Dynasty, and later changed to that no matter how old you are, you must be unsuccessful before you can marry yourself.

Xingzhou smiled and said, "But isn't it! The slave secretly overheard a few words outside, and Mrs. Shangshu also asked our son-in-law about the eight characters!"

Hao Ming smiled teasingly, looking at his brother whose face was slightly flushed, "If you don't talk about relatives, where do you need to ask any eight characters?"

Xiu Qi said with a tiger face: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

He must have read his brother's article, and now that his brother has just fallen off the list, Lord Shangshu has the heart to recruit his brother as his son-in-law, which shows that he is interested in his brother's talent!"

Xiu Qi couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, it was true that there was no reasonable explanation outside of this. Although the Nalan clan is the same as the Ilgen Jueluo clan, they are both big families with surnames, but the Nalan clan has withered, but the Ilgen Jueluo clan is the court Xuanhe, it stands to reason that marrying a daughter and marrying a high, the Gege of the Ilgen Jueluo family is indeed not necessary to marry her. Unless it's because of his future prospects.

Xingzhou smiled again and said, "The old county lord is summoning Ergege." ”

He smiled, "Mama, this is asking me to go and see for my brother how my future sister-in-law looks like the moon." ”

Xiu Qi's face couldn't help but turn a little redder, "You Nizi, even I dare to make fun!"

Humming giggled, and then the flowers and branches trembled away.

In the old lord's room, the fragrance of tea was wafting, and Mrs. Ilgen Jueluo was a rich-looking woman of forty or fifty years, who was not very richly dressed, but her clothes were very delicately embroidered. Next to Mrs. Ilgen Jueluo stood a woman wearing a magenta Ruyi group flower flag suit, with very delicate facial features. She combed her simple two handfuls of hair, her head was decorated with pearls, and the pearls on her ears were swaying, but her complexion was very delicate, and her cheeks were flushed with a shy ruddy, adding a bit of coquettishness.

Bo Ming greeted his grandmother, politely greeted Mrs. Ilgen Jueluo, and finally looked at Gege of Ilgen Jueluo's family, and asked with a smile: "What is the name of this sister?"

Ilgen Jue Rogge asked softly, "My name is Zhilan. ”

Hao Ming smiled with a smile in his eyes: "Zhilan Yushu, my sister's name is both nice and elegant, and it really deserves to be a scholarly family." In fact, it was only from the generation of Ilgen Jueluo Shangshu that he began to write from the school, and it was a bit reluctant to say that he was a scholarly family.

However, Mrs. Ilgen Jueluo naturally liked to listen to these words, and she smiled and said to the old county lord: "If we are full of scholars, who is better than the Nalan family? -- The "father and son two jinshi" praised by Mrs. Ilgen Jueluo are naturally Nalan Mingzhu and Nalan Rongruo's father and son.

When the old county lord heard this, he immediately smiled, but his mouth politely excused him.

He smiled again and said to Ilgen Jue Rogge: "My name is Yingning, and I am fourteen years old this year. ”

Ilgen Jue Luo Zhilan said softly, "I am three years older than my sister. ”

Bo Ming greeted his grandmother and Mrs. Ilgen Jueluo again, and said, "Sister Zhilan and I hit it off at first sight, and I want to invite Sister Zhilan to take a walk in the courtyard, I don't know if it's okay?"

Mrs. Ilgen Jueluo naturally would not refuse, and smiled and instructed Ilgen Jueluo Zhilan a few words, and then asked Ming to retreat with Zhilan.

In fact, there is nothing to see in the autumn scenery, the only slight is the chrysanthemum, the red and yellow purple, but the purple and red, quite a bit of the spring flowers in the season of gorgeous, raised in the rich and noble chrysanthemums, naturally there is no arrogance at all, full of wealth and wealth.

But in this rich place, on the shore of the lake with a thin mist of life, a young man in a jade-colored back-patterned shirt faced the lake with his head open, standing with his hands in his hands, and the sound of Lang Lang's endorsement sounded clearly.

Walking on this winding stone road, he could only see the silhouette of Xiuqi, and the rising dawn sprinkled on his cheeks like fine sand sand, which made him more and more heroic and heroic. Xiu Qi is already handsome, but now surrounded by beautiful landscapes, he is so graceful and graceful, how can he not touch the girl's heart.

Lang Lang's voice suddenly stopped, Xiu Qi suddenly turned around, and looked here.

It was this look that made Ilgen feel that Luo Zhilan's cheeks were red, and she hurriedly pulled her sleeve, and her voice was so subtle that it was almost inaudible: "Sister, let's go." ”

"Okay. Ming replied softly, today was just going to let them look at each other from a distance. With such a distance, it is not very clear to see, not to mention that the autumn fog is thin, everything is hazy, and it is easier for two people to have a lot of reverie.
