Chapter 331 Yu Yin

At the end of April, the end of the examination of the six officials, Cheng Minchuan took a few exams in a row, and finally the effort was not in vain, and he was admitted to the Ministry of Industry to be a small official who did not qualify, the husband and wife were very happy, Qi specially let people prepare a table of wine and food, and the family had a celebratory meal, Cheng Minchuan drank a few glasses of wine, his face was flushed, and he was a little smoky, Qi sent the nurse to hold the child down, sat sideways on the round stool next to Cheng Minchuan, looked at the husband who was in an extremely comfortable and happy mood, weighed it, and said with a smile:

"These days, the family is really happy, my mother arrived in the south safely, everything is fine, today the eldest brother received a letter, let the sister-in-law come over and say it."

Cheng Minchuan hurriedly put down the cup and turned his head to look at Qi's,

"Is my mother okay? What about the third brother? ”

"It's all good, it's all good, it's all good, it's all good, it's all good, it's all good in the south."

Qi's gourd replied, Cheng Minchuan was dizzy, relieved and relieved, Qi looked at him, and said cautiously:

"I went out with my sister-in-law a few days ago, and I happened to see a big house, alas, it is really a treasure of feng shui, the trees in it are also high and new, and the place is spacious.

The cup in Cheng Minchuan's hand paused in mid-air,

"Buy? What do you buy for? What are we going to do in the big house? It's not separated! ”

"Look at you, you're making a fuss again, isn't it, what is the matter with buying a house and separating the family? Your son always has to grow up, get married, and have children in the future, right? If you don't buy this house today, you have to buy it tomorrow, right? At this time, I have the money in hand, and I am in a hurry to buy such a suitable house, if I don't buy it quickly, will I buy the expensive one when I am in a hurry? ”

Qi Shi questioned one after another, Cheng Minchuan's face turned red, blinked, raised his hand to point at Qi, suddenly put down his hand, sighed heavily, Qi Shi looked at him, and said in a faint whisper:

"You also save your worries, there is a big brother in charge, and there is only a third brother in my mother's heart, you, save it, no matter how much you have a heart, no one will pay attention to you!"

Cheng Minchuan's complexion? Darkened, sullenly drank two glasses of wine in a row, came out with a long sullen breath, and waved his hand,

"Whatever you want."

Qi Shi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with a smile, and reached out to take the wine jug in front of Cheng Minchuan,

"Okay, don't drink so much, just be happy, but also look at the amount, I said, you go to the palace early tomorrow to meet the prince, this matter of being elected to the Ministry of Industry, always talk to him, I will also go to see the princess, always have to say, we are all a family, we can't see the outside first."

Cheng Minchuan nodded,

"That's right, you call me up early tomorrow, Brother Ke leaves early every day, I have to hurry over."

Qi happily agreed, motioned to his mother-in-law to pack up his things, stepped forward to help Cheng Minchuan, and went in to rest.

Zhao Yuanming, the governor of Longzhou, only had an excerpt of ten days, and the eight-hundred-mile express was handed into the palace, the emperor pinched the fold, slowly read the poems copied in by Zhao Yuanming, sighed long, put the fold on the case, looked at the chamberlain and ordered:

"Spread the word that Gu Xiao came to see me."

The waiter bowed down and agreed, quietly withdrew, and went out to call someone, not long, the waiter led Gu Xiao, who was sweating from the nervous forehead, to the door of the hall, signaled him to stop, and he respectfully went in to report, and after a while, the waiter came out and led Gu Xiao into the hall.

Gu Xiao's nervous atmosphere didn't dare to come out, and he didn't dare to look up, according to the etiquette he had learned, he followed the waiter and walked a few steps, knelt on the ground, stretched his arms, and bowed.

The emperor leaned on the couch casually, looking at Gu Xiao, who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, kowtowing nervously but meticulously, with a slight smile on his face, and raised his hand to signal the waiter,

"Get up."

The chamberlain bowed forward, gently helped him, and pulled Gu Xiao up, Gu Xiao lowered his head and stood respectfully, waiting for a reply, the emperor looked at him carefully, and gently ordered:

"Come over here, and let me take a closer look."

Gu Xiao hurriedly agreed, carefully rubbed forward, even walked ten steps, did not hear the emperor's voice, according to the teachings of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor did not say to stop, this step can not stop, Gu Xiao stubbornly continued to rub forward, until he walked two or three steps away from the bed, the emperor slowly 'um', Gu Xiao hurriedly paused, secretly relieved,

"Raise your head."

Gu Xiao cautiously looked up at the emperor who was as gentle as the old man next door, and was slightly stunned, the emperor looked at the surprise that flashed on his face, and asked with a smile:

"Surprised by what? I'm not what you think? ”

"Back to the emperor, no, yes, that is not, back to the emperor, it's different from what the subordinates think."

Gu Xiao stammered nervously, how could he still think about how to reply, honestly answering is what he thought, the emperor straightened up slightly,

"Oh? What's the difference? ”

"Back to the emperor, the emperor is very kind."

Gu Xiao replied nervously, and a smile appeared on the emperor's face,

"As amiable as your grandmother?"

"Back to the emperor, when the grandmother of the subordinate is there, she doesn't laugh much, it's not as kind as the emperor."

The smile on the emperor's face condensed, leaned back, glanced at the folds on the table, and was silent for a moment before looking at Gu Xiao and asking:

"How did your grandmother teach you?"

Gu Xiao swallowed in embarrassment, thought for a while and replied:

"My grandmother said that I was mediocre and asked me to keep my share of blessings, and she also said,"

Gu Xiao's throat moved, swallowed his saliva again, and continued in a low voice:

"Let me be a rich man."

The emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed as if nothing,

"Your grandmother has the amazing talent of your father, how can there be anyone in this world who can see her? She said you were mediocre, just compared to your father. ”

Gu Xiao blinked his eyes, a little didn't know how to answer correctly, opened his mouth, blinked his eyes again and hesitated, the emperor looked at him, and asked with a smile:

"What are you going to say?"

"Back to the emperor, my grandmother likes Xiao ...... the most Li Xiaonuan, the princess of the king of Runan, her grandmother said that she was smarter than her father. ”

The emperor was stunned, looked at Gu Xiao, suddenly burst into laughter, stood up while laughing, walked to Gu Xiao's side, raised his hand and patted Gu Xiao's shoulder gently,

"You are a sincere child, with a good heart, this is the blessing of the ancient family, good and honest! This person, this is the blessing of the duty, and in the future, do a good job of learning and being a man, which is your great blessing. ”

Gu Xiao agreed repeatedly, listening inexplicably.

The emperor looked at him, laughed again, turned his head to look at the chamberlain, and ordered:

"Spread my will, Gu Xiao will be promoted to two levels, and he will enjoy double income."

The chamberlain agreed crisply, Gu Xiao hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to thank him for this inexplicable kindness, and the emperor smiled while looking at him and ordered:

"Go talk to Xiao Ke and tell him what you and I said."

Gu Xiao agreed, kowtowed a few more times, and retreated with the waiter.

Cheng Ke listened to Gu Xiao's words, raised his hand and pointed at Gu Xiao's forehead, and said hatefully:

"You bastard! What do you do with Xiao Nuan? You have been promoted to an official and received a double salary, and you have to go in and ask for sin! ”

Gu Xiao was confused, how could he turn around such nine bends and eighteen bends? Cheng Ke nodded at Gu Xiao's forehead, looking at him with a blank eye, as if he had punched in the cotton, and he couldn't hold his strength softly, so he had to stomp his feet hatefully, turn around and go to the palace to ask for a meeting.

Cheng Ke entered the palace to see, and it took more than an hour before he withdrew, the emperor leaned back, leaned on the pillow, closed his eyes as if he was asleep, and the chamberlain stepped forward quietly, lightly covered the quilt, the emperor opened his eyes, and commanded in a low voice:

"Ask someone to prepare a sedan chair, well, go to the hall first, I want to go to the ancestors to put incense on the pillars."

The emperor's voice became lower and lower, the last sentence was almost inaudible, the waiter agreed, took the clothes and cloak, waited for the emperor to change, got on the sedan chair at the entrance of the palace, and went all the way to the palace, the emperor was locked in the palace alone, stayed for more than a quarter of an hour, came out to change the warm sedan chair, and did not return to the palace, went straight out of the palace gate, and went to the gospel temple.

Cheng Ke returned home, talked with his father in the inner study for a long time, came out and copied the four poems on the city wall of Longzhou, and ordered someone to send them to Huigufang, and engraved this page behind the ancient university anthology.

The pleasant season always flies too fast, in the scorching June, wearing a big red embroidered belly pocket, a stupid, has climbed fast, crawling and crawling, but also suddenly turn around, to the other direction of the rapid climb again, the princess is often dizzy by his sudden turn, and so come to his senses, the flexible and abnormal little thing, has climbed out of two or three steps away, the old lady for a stupid flexibility, very satisfied, if not just out of the mother's womb, she will wash the tendons and cut the marrow, how can there be such a smart, flexible, healthy, lovely, the world's first and only one of the great-grandson!

The princess was extremely worried about Ah Ben's safety, in case she bumped into even a little bit of it, but it was a fatal matter, so she simply carefully selected four or five mothers-in-law, seven or eight girls, and made up for Ah Ben's already huge team of girls and mothers-in-law, Li Xiaonuan sighed sullenly, and didn't say more than half a word, and it was useless to say it.

Those old farmers who have accumulated years, really said very accurately, this year is a year of wind and rain, north and south, are a bumper harvest scene, the excerpts of the harvest flew to the emperor's desk like snowflakes, so that the emperor who had the biggest heart, was in a happy mood, and people were also in a lot of spirit.

Li Xiaonuan got busy, dispatching the silver and stewards, rushing to several places with abundant grain production, collecting the grain in a low-key manner, and then quietly transporting it back to the vicinity of the capital and piling it into the warehouse.

Gu Yunshan was even more busy, the amount of cured meat and other things in the north this year has increased countless times compared with last year, and she has to be busy with marinating meat, etc., and she has to be busy collecting grain, watching people enter the warehouse, and worrying that it is not done well every day

Today's double watch, the second watch, around 2 p.m.

The Ji family is a scholarly family, and the ghost foxes recorded in Ji Yun's children's shoes book are also Ya ghosts and Ya foxes, which are very interesting, the so-called exchanges are not white, this, is it to a higher level?

Luanyang Xia Lu recorded: The Ji family has a Zhuangzi, called the factory, the past Zhuangzi, there is a wide wheat field, in the middle of the field in the factory, there is a large pile of firewood, piled up for many years, it lives in the Huhu family, usually, everyone walks around the firewood stack.

One day, a tenant was drunk and bold, and he had to get drunk and fall down next to the firewood stack, and he scolded the fox family, and was scolding happily, when he heard a voice in his ear: "You are drunk, I don't care about you, hurry back to sleep!" ”

The next day, when he woke up, he went to work, what to do, guarding the melon garden, and at noon, his wife carried a burden to bring him food, and he saw a woman in red huddled with the tenant from afar, and when she turned her head and saw his wife coming, she jumped up and took her skirt and ran.

This tenant's wife is the first vinegar urn, the second is strong, this is angry, the rice is thrown, smoking the flat burden and beating the tenant, poor tenant, was beaten to cry and scream, but for some reason, the tenant's wife is tired, holding the flat burden and panting, I heard a burst of laughter on the tree, the laughing one is happy!

The tenant was not too stupid, and he immediately knew that it was the fox who teased him and took revenge for yesterday's scolding.
