Chapter 621: Reunion
Cui Yao failed to win the two lists, but now he is just a person, standing next to Xia Yuzhi, but he is not much inferior.
Master Wei of the Criminal Department quietly looked at him, secretly thinking that this young man would definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, and he would probably be a late bloomer. Rushing to Beijing at this time, ten have ** is to prepare for next year's Enke, and decide to break the boat.
recruited Cui Yao to talk by his side, and he really meant this. Master Wei is a good person to the end, and specially gave him a few bachelors from the Hanlin Academy.
On that day, the scholar Sun of the Hanlin Academy, who looked honest and upright, but actually calculated in one place, had already arrived, and now the person in charge of the Hanlin Academy was a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who looked clear and elegant, and specially drank a cup with Cui Yao, and told him that if he had any problems in the future, he could go to the Hanlin Academy for advice.
Cui Yao was overjoyed and got up and took a deep look.
After the banquet was over, Chen Rujun invited everyone to move to the study outside to drink tea, and still recruited Cui Yao to accompany him, and he had the intention to listen to the conversations of the adults in the court.
At the end of this day, Cui Zhen opened his eyes and felt that he used to be like a frog at the bottom of a well. In the past, I was quite conceited, and I always felt that the two scientific examinations were not the first because of my bad luck, but today I listened to the words of several scholars of the Hanlin Academy, and I really benefited a lot, and I realized that I was indeed too far away from others.
Cui Yao regained his previous rebellious heart and decided to immerse himself in hard work, and this scientific examination must be titled on the gold list.
In the evening, when the guests dispersed, the family saw each other again in the main room, the nurse brought Brother Duan over, and Chen Zhihua also came out of the East Cross Courtyard to meet his sister and brother-in-law one by one.
Murong Ling didn't see his grandson for a long time, so he first held Brother Duan'er in his arms, and he couldn't kiss him enough.
Last year, the family said goodbye at Yangzhou Wharf, Murong Ling did not see Brother Duan'er, and now it is another year, Brother Duan'er is taller than before, and his speech and behavior are even more decent, so that Murong Ling can't put it down.
The family reopened a reunion banquet in the warm pavilion of the main house, because they drank a few glasses of wine at noon, they removed the cups in the evening, reheated the eight-treasure porridge boiled in their own house, and each person shared a bowl of sweet and sweet.
Knowing that Chen Huanshan and Chen Huanzhong would return to Beijing before Chinese New Year's Eve, the festive atmosphere in Chen's mansion added another layer of festivity. This year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet has the largest number of people in the mansion, and Mrs. Liu is full of expectations, and she whispers a few words with the three sisters-in-law from time to time, and the relationship between the sisters-in-law is very harmonious.
On the Luohan couch next to him, under the care of the nursing mother, Brother Duan and Brother Sheng have already played together, Brother Zhen is still young, and he can only suck his fingers and teeth, which makes people even more happy.
Taking advantage of the fact that the night was still bright, a small servant in front of him led the way, and Chen Rujun called Cui Yao to take a look at the study that had been prepared for him a long time ago. Seeing that his father-in-law was meticulous and treated himself as a parent, Cui Yao was grateful and looked at Chen Rujun deeply.
's mother owed Chen Xinhua a lot in the past, and Chen Rujun was the second assistant to the cabinet, and he still repaid his grievances with virtue.
Cui Yao originally thought that this trip to Beijing, although his father-in-law and mother-in-law would not give him a cold face, they would only do some superficial courtesy, but he didn't expect that the two old people would think about everything for him.
Cui Yao wanted to abandon the identity of a lifter and change to the title of Jinshi, and also broke the strange circle of no one in Cui's mansion.
Therefore, next year's Jie Enke will be especially important for him. Cui Yao thought about it, and tried his best to be treated coldly by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he also wanted to go to Beijing to study. Only then did he discuss with Chen Xinhua, and the family hurried to Beijing on the Laba Festival.
Cui Yao looked at the study room in an orderly manner, from the large table and bookcase to the four treasures of the study. The inkstone is engraved with a magpie climbing branch, a green jade pen holder carved toad palace folded laurel, and a marble paperweight is the style of sesame blossoming festival, all of which are auspicious meanings.
The bookcase is neatly arranged, and on the left side are several sample essays for previous exams that Chen Rujun found for him, as well as the lives and preferences of several examiners. Chen Rujun boldly put a few questions on behalf of his son-in-law, and piled them up on the right hand side together with a few articles he made for Cui Yao's reference.
Each of these things will make you feel great and save a lot of effort. Cui Yao's palm landed on the green jade pen holder of the openwork Toad Palace, and gently stroked it. He was full of excitement and looked at Chen Rujun deeply.
The family didn't talk about it, knowing that his father-in-law didn't like to hear any flattery, Cui Yao just assured Chen Rujun from the bottom of his heart that he would never live up to the family's expectations of him.
Murong Ling cleaned up a three-room courtyard for the young couple in the courtyard at the back, and ordered someone to hold the freshly smoked brocade mattress and curtain and arrange it early, looking at Duange'er's little face, he was really reluctant to let him leave, and sent Chen Rujun to the Waizhai Library, leaving the pair of treasures of Duange'er and Sheng'er in his own blue yarn cupboard.
The young couple returned to the courtyard at night, Cui Yao was full of interest, told Chen Xinhua about the day's harvest, and mentioned the study that Chen Rujun prepared for himself, and he was very satisfied. Seeing that there was no one around, he gently kissed Chen Xinhua on the cheek: "How can I, Cui Yao, marry such a good wife, and I have to be treated by my father-in-law and mother-in-law like a parent." ”
Chen Xinhua pushed him with a smile, spread his long hair and grate his hair with a comb, loosening his tired muscles and bones, and said with a thoughtful smile: "Husband is relieved now, I said that my parents will treat you as a guest, and you have the heart of a villain." ”
Cui Yao's face turned red, but he smiled sincerely: "It's true that I am not generous enough, and I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." What Yue Zhang's eyes are concerned about is the thousands of Xixia people, and the life, old age, and suffering of all living beings in the world. Uncle Yue knew the kindness of today, and Cui Yao could not repay it in his life. ”
On the way back to the main room from the study, Cui Yao already had an idea in his heart, but he was afraid that his wife would oppose it.
He looked at Chen Xinhua apologetically, took the comb in her hand and grated her hair for her, and whispered: "If you have something to ask for your husband, please make sure that the good wife is fulfilled." ”
"Why do you and I need to be so polite, my husband will say it directly", Chen Xinhua smiled back, reflecting Cui Yao's eager and gentle expression in his clear eyes.
Cui Yao became famous as a teenager, but he stopped moving. Although he didn't say anything about his wife, he added some inferiority complex.
In the past, I only thought that Huai Cai did not meet, it was my own bad luck, and today I talked with those scholars of the Hanlin Academy, and I knew that there are people outside the world.
From that moment on, he put away his former depressed heart, and wanted to settle down and study seriously, so as to meet next year's spring.
Gentleness in the countryside is easy to intoxicate people and consume their fighting spirit. Looking at his wife's smile like a flower, Cui Yao gritted his teeth and said: "I want to move to the outer study from tomorrow to eat and live, and I won't go back to the inner courtyard if I have nothing to do, and I will prepare for next year's Spring Festival wholeheartedly. ”
