Chapter 688: Qiu Xiang is overjoyed to have a noble son
He was stunned for a while, and was just about to walk away, when Lian Daning came over from the side, looking hurried, and when he walked past him, he just said, "I'll look for you another day." With that, he drifted away.
Besides, he was stunned, he thought about it, did Lian Daning have two words in his words just now, don't miss it.
He quickly turned around and left, today was obviously not a good day, it was better to go back to the house and hide.
He returned home, put everything behind him, accompanied Zuo Ling Xiao Nier to coax the little marquis to play, and then went to chat with Mrs. Tai, which made Mrs. Tai very happy.
Besides, he always runs outside and rarely shows up in the house, and Mrs. Tai rarely has a good chat with him.
When the maids were not in front of him, Mrs. Tai whispered to him that the Marquise had asked her for instructions, and if she could not conceive again, she wanted to help give birth to a son, and she also agreed.
Besides, he really didn't expect the Marquise to be so bold and dare to speak to the Marquise about this.
"The eldest brother and sister-in-law will give birth, don't worry, I can't help with this. Besides, he walked out with a gloomy face, and the maids outside couldn't help laughing when they saw him like this, obviously they already knew about it in private.
Besides, I feel that I don't have the face to stay in this mansion any longer, didn't I just make Zuo Ling and Xiao Nier pregnant, how could they be treated as stallions.
Is it hard to get a woman pregnant?
He thought indignantly, went back to his room, and began to continue painting the half-naked picture of Xiangjun that had not been finished.
Although there is no model to look at, the effect will be worse, but it has to be like this, you can't always get a half-finished product and throw it there, this is not his style.
"This is Li Xiangjun, this girl is so beautiful. Xiao Nier walked in, looked twice, and also admired.
"Be quiet, don't let Zuo Ling know. Besides, he shhh
"Knowing what, Pomegranate doesn't care about it, and she won't care. β
"Not necessarily, more is better than less. "Besides, let Xiao Nier give herself the wind at the door, and then she can draw boldly with confidence.
In the evening, the students walked out of the examination room one after another, and naturally their families were waiting outside, and the candidates took the bus home one by one with various expressions.
The first exam is relatively simple, mainly to test the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, which is generally bracketed, similar to the fill-in-the-blank questions in the college entrance examination in later generations. On the surface of the paper are paragraphs of text from the Four Books and Five Classics, but some key words are omitted for the candidates to fill in. In addition to these, each person makes a propositional poem, or a five-character quatrain, or a seven-rule poem, which is not exactly the same.
Because the first day of the exam was not very difficult, the candidates were still smiling and relaxed, talking about the situation in the examination room one by one, which was very lively.
Besides, there is no need to inquire about the situation, and there is no need to inquire, on this day all relatives and friends have established a fast and close contact channel, family members in cars, horses, walking, and running, using various methods to transmit news, it can be said that this day the communication in Nanjing City has entered the Internet era in advance.
But this was only a few days, and after the township test, it was restored to the same as before, after all, with the historical conditions at that time, it was still too laborious and material resources to maintain such a vast network of contacts.
Besides, naturally I also received a message from Wen Bin: everything is fine.
The next day, while he continued to paint at home, the housekeeper of Chen's house visited him from time to time to report on his preparations for the wedding, and there were some things he should have prepared, such as trying on the groom's dress, familiarizing himself with some wedding etiquette, and so on.
"Congratulations on the wedding. Zuo Ling smiled and made a blessing to him.
"I said Ling'er, what should we do, do you think about it? "Besides, it's a headache. Now Zuo Ling is already very pregnant, and if he doesn't hurry up, he won't be able to hold a wedding, so he really can't get married in the future.
"Don't do it, like I said before, I just live independently, come to see me when you want me, and you can do you when you have something. Zuo Ling smiled.
"Don't you want to marry me?" said with a wry smile.
"Well, I've thought about it, it's still as good as I originally thought, whether I live here or outside, I want to live independently anyway. Let's wait until the child is born. β
Besides, he is really convinced, Zuo Ling actually has modern thinking than him, and even has some feminist consciousness. Of course, he didn't feel good about doing this, but he didn't want to force Zuo Ling to change his mind and do what he thought, not to mention that he didn't have any good ideas.
According to Mrs. Tai's wishes, the wedding should be held for the two of them here, and Zuo Ling became the daughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion in the name of it. As for whether there is anyone laughing at it, in the words of Mrs. Tai, there are no people in the entire Nanjing City who dare to laugh at the Marquis's Mansion.
Marrying two wives is naturally not in line with the laws and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, but these are things that the people do not sue the officials and do not hold accountable, unless you are very annoying, everyone looks unpleasant, and they will only report when they have the opportunity, Tang Bohu still stops and lives a happy life with Qiu Xiang.
Besides, just thinking about it, suddenly Tang Bohu sent someone to deliver a letter: Qiu Xiang gave birth and gave birth to a son.
Besides, he hurriedly took the reward money to the messenger, and wrote a congratulatory letter for the messenger to take back. He was also happy in his heart, and went to Xiao Nier's room to tell her.
"Then should we go over and have a look?" Xiao Nier looked like she was about to leave, and she had a good relationship with Qiu Xiang.
"Let's wait for the full moon and go eat the full moon wine. It's okay if you go, but it's inconvenient for me to go. "Besides, think about it.
"Well, let's wait for the full moon, and I'll have to think about preparing a few gifts these days. Xiao Nier is starting to use her brains, and she has always been responsible for things like gift-giving.
After Wenbin's first exam, his mental state relaxed a lot.
Fortunately, the first exam was the least difficult, and although he was not the kind of person with quick thinking, he could still cope with it. After getting acquainted with the rhythm of the exam, I have a little bottom in my heart.
He still stayed at home and relaxed, and he didn't want to be affected and disturbed by the outside atmosphere.
After receiving the news that Qiu Xiang gave birth to her son, Sisi couldn't sit still anymore, so she rushed to congratulate her in the car, mainly to see the child.
Pomegranate also came with red sleeves, and when he saw the chubby baby in swaddling clothes, he teased the child's little face: "You little devil, do you know, but you hurt your mother." Why can't you just stay in your stomach and have to toss hard?"
The baby seemed to understand her and burst into tears.
Pomegranate and Sisi both laughed, and Red Sleeves also smiled: "This little elf, as if he can really understand, is still wronged." β
Qiu Xiang was lying on the bed, still tired, in good spirits, she sighed: "It is said that my son's birthday, my mother's hard days, I really understand it, I really don't know the kindness of my parents if I don't raise a child." β
"That's right, little devil, don't just cry, grow up and honor your mother. Sisi was afraid that Qiu Xiang would be sad when she thought of her mother, who she had never met, and quickly changed the topic.
Pomegranate couldn't help but feel a little sad, her parents also died too early, although her uncle treated her no worse than her own parents, and even doted on her more, but she still often thought of her parents, but she couldn't remember what they looked like.
When she saw Qiu Xiang lying on the bed, she was even more afraid of giving birth, and she became more and more convinced in her heart that it was better to leave this kind of thing to others to bear, and she resolutely did not touch it.
Qiu Xiang asked about Wenbin's situation, and Pomegranate also asked, Sisi said something briefly, in fact, there is nothing to say, after all, it is the first game, and only those who are lucky to carry home will have problems. There were also a few candidates who were sent out for fouls, and the trip to the township test was basically over.
However, the first exam basically can't be seen up and down, and the second exam can also be divided into upper, middle and lower, and the real strength is the third eight-strand exam.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Baguwen was not examined, most of them were modeled after the Tang and Song Dynasty Jinshi system, and the examination policy involved some national affairs, such as military preparation, frontiers, grain reserves and other aspects, which required candidates to have a very rich knowledge and a deep understanding of national government affairs, which was too difficult for candidates who specialized in the four books and five classics and did not listen to things outside the window.
After the questioning, it spontaneously flowed into the eight-strand essay, but the program of the article, the writing skills, etc., the content has been empty and tasteless, which is basically similar to the proposition essay of the college entrance examination in later generations, but the eight-strand is more difficult to write.
After talking for a while, everyone said goodbye and let Qiu Xiang rest her body.
Tang Bohu's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit outside, and he thanked people when he saw them.
"You have to give Qiu Xiang a good nourishment, and if you need anything, go to me and get it. Sisi instructed.
"No, no, everything you need is already ready. Tang Bohu said with a smile.
"Bohu, you bastard, you're happy to hurt Qiu Xiang like this. Pomegranate suddenly lost her temper.
Tang Bohu was stunned, he didn't know why, and immediately thought that the pomegranate was talking about Qiu Xiang's pregnancy and suffering, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Yes, it's me who is not good." β
Sisi smiled secretly and hurriedly pulled the pomegranate away to prevent her from messing around.
"What are you doing, women are pregnant and give birth like this, what do you blame Bohu?" Sisi laughed in the car as she counted the pomegranates.
"If it weren't for him, Qiu Xiang would have been able to endure so much hardship, and I couldn't help crying when I saw her lying on the bed like that. "Pomegranate airway.
"There's no way around it, don't all women come over like this? You can't just don't want children because you're afraid of hardship. Sisi is also angry that she is naΓ―ve.
"Why should women be like this, I don't want to suffer these things. I don't want to!" Pomegranate said firmly.
"You're about to get married, and you're still saying these childish things. The slightest disdain.
"Marriage is marriage, I don't do these things of pregnancy and childbirth. Pomegranate turned her head to look out the window, her heart becoming more and more determined.
Sisi thought she was just talking angry and childish, and she didn't pay attention to her, how did she know that she really thought so, and wanted to replace these things with red sleeves, and come to Li Dai Taozhuang.
If she had known what she really thought, she would have fallen out of the carriage in shock.
