94. Gossip during the mourning period

Shuheng doesn't go out much, but recently there have been two sensational things in Daxia, from the imperial court to the countryside and rivers, no one knows about it, and the shallow boudoir flows into the deep boudoir. Even the mourning Shuheng also knew the news early in the morning. It's not an accident, but it's still a happy news.

First of all, this year's big exam. Not to mention the champion duke, he is from the Jiangdong clan, the representative of the literati group, and now he is at the wonderful juncture of His Majesty to show that "all the people return to their hearts, and the world is one family", and he has won the name. Jiang Dong is his own flesh and blood, and in the eyes of his confident and arrogant majesty, he is a child who is a little stronger and easy to lose his temper, and now he is finally scared and persuaded to come back. It is the land and the people who are hurt by the use of force, and it is simply distressing, so the policy of peaceful evolution that was set at the beginning has been unswervingly implemented.

It is worth mentioning that in this scientific expedition, Tanhualang is Dong Huaiyu hand-picked by the emperor. It is said that this beautiful man with beautiful qualifications like Zhilan was originally ranked first in the second class, but His Majesty opened his dragon eyes and phoenix eyes and looked up and down, and felt that those top three Tanhua were really unsatisfactory, not to mention a lot of beards, that is, he was younger and more handsome, and he stood with Dong Huaiyu, and he was also lined with everyone. No way! How can Tanhualang be like this? I'm really sorry for the expectations of me and the people, so he moved to the top three with a stroke of his pen. Tanhualang, naturally you have to have a beautiful appearance.

Naturally, there was opposition. The waiter of the Ministry of Rites is going crazy, how can the imperial examination be such a child's play? Every rank and every rank represents fairness and justice, and what is hidden behind every word is the blood and tears of the reader's ten-year cold window, how can this rank be changed casually? Seeing the two rows of people kneeling there and crawling neatly to take back their lives, His Majesty couldn't help but frown. Dong Huaiyu didn't say anything himself, what time are you in a hurry?

Ministers: No, it's a matter of principle.

Emperor:——

In fact, this kind of unexpected thing has not happened before, I want to be the first time to ascend to the treasure, to select talents, but that year the first place in the imperial examination was selected two people, from the perspective of appearance and family talent, the examiner made a fuss, you come and go, arguing endlessly, spitting stars, and it is hard to decide which one is the first. In the end, it was the emperor who made the final decision and waved his hand at the two champion candidates: Come! You guys fight.

Ministers: Your Majesty, do you know whether you are choosing Wen Zhuangyuan or Wu Zhuangyuan?

Emperor: Nonsense! I woke up early in the morning from the wine I drank last night, how could I not know. I select talents to do things, if people are weak and can't resist blows, then what should I do? The body is very important!

As a result, the two candidates began to roll up their sleeves and fight on the main hall - such an ingenious way is worthy of the historian's capital.

Therefore, looking at the row of faces in front of him, all of whom were ready to die and were full of righteous indignation, the emperor felt troubled.

"Since ancient times, literati are like women, and literati are like women's waiters, so once they suffer a blow and degrade, they will be like a resentful woman, once their career is hopeless, they will be like an abandoned woman desperate and discouraged, once they are reused, they are like virgins, who die for their confidants, and if they are unjust or feel responsible, they will be like martyrs. Especially for scholars, their "wife and concubine plot" is also very strict. Yuan Muyun's words suddenly popped up in the emperor's head, and he was immediately enlightened.

Coax, or coax. You can't be reasonable, because you'll never be able to talk to them. This is Yuan Muyun's admonition to him. Don't hold back your temperament and don't do it, or they'll die for you.

The emperor covered his head sadly: Why do you think I am so kind? I can't bear to let them die.

Yuan Muyun raised his sleeves and drank tea: Ah, the blessing of the people-

It's really insincere.

After the emperor enthusiastically praised the loyalty, righteousness, courage and innocence of these courtiers, he allocated a large sum of money to revise the ancient books for them. When everyone was excited to receive the decree and thanked him for thinking that His Majesty had changed his mind, he unexpectedly found that the holy decree was two, and the other one was clearly written with Dong Huaiyu, the new science detective flower.

Everyone looked at each other, tacitly agreeing not to say anything-

After all, it is soft. After all, Dong Huaiyu himself doesn't mind. After all, everyone likes the handsome Tanhualang, which is what the people want. Hehe.

Although everyone has become accustomed to the willfulness and unreliability of the emperor. However, after all, the emperor is a grand emperor of Tianwei, and the court is a treacherous court after all. Not surprisingly, this wayward move has been over-interpreted. A certain squire secretly speculated that His Majesty was finally dissatisfied with the excessive power of the cabinet ministers, and was ready to set off a new challenge to the royal power and the relative power? A certain imperial history stroked the impeachment and wondered, could it be that Dong Huaiyu had been friends with King Cheng Lianshi, and now he finally aroused His Majesty's suspicions? A concubine touched the bracelet again and imagined that this Tanhualang was so handsome and talented, should she spend a girl to marry?

Dong Huaiyu didn't care about these interpretations, the personable gentleman was dignified and gentle like jade, and he didn't see the arrogance of the young man, nor the ecstasy of ordinary people who finally saw all the Chang'an flowers together after finally being moved. That calm and chic indifference, just like this is just an ordinary thing, not to the mind of the joy of things makes a large number of literati sigh to themselves, and His Majesty is even more far-reaching. When I was walking around the streets, I was almost seen by the eyes of the big girl.

So, a bunch of idlers had nothing to do when they were full, and recalled the previous sensational competition between Shen Bokang and Dong Huaiyu. You said that Shen was honest and pragmatic, so he said that Dong Tanhua was of good quality and beautiful jade. You said that Shen was rich and straightforward, and he said that Dong Tanhua was full of brilliance. You said that Shen was rigorous and prudent, and he was handsome and handsome.

Let's talk about each qualitative, so I went to ask the parties. Unexpectedly, Shen Bokang was humble and said with a serious face: "Dong Gongzi has lost a lot of qualifications in the next talent, if he didn't intend to be humble, would I have a place to stand out in the last scientific examination?" ”

ran to ask Dong Huaiyu again, and the newly appointed Tanhualang smiled at the corner of his lips: "Xiaolang has been loved, how can he have the heart to compete for the edge?" I'm willing to retreat from the place where I shoot. ”

The bearing of the two of them became more and more boring for everyone. For a while, it was a beautiful talk.

When the discussion was boiling outside, it happened that the wife of one of the parties to the beautiful conversation was by Shuheng's side. Wei Yuqin, who was also at the funeral, came to look for Shuheng. The two who are lonely during the mourning period always have a lot to say.

The mouth of the bottle should be open, the flower handle should be tight, and the small needles that fix the plant must be hidden, looking at Wei Yuqin's silver ring fiddling with the illustration bottle, Shu Heng smiled: "In the eyes of the lover, in the heart of Cousin Qin, naturally only my brother-in-law is unique." ”

Wei Yuqin has passed the stage of being ashamed of the bride, and now when it comes to the husband, she is also generous, she put down the small silver scissors and touched it carefully, and smiled: "To tell the truth, I think Dong Huaiyu is more handsome." ”

Shu Heng smiled: "You're not afraid of your brother-in-law being jealous." ”

Wei Yuqin rolled her eyes elegantly: "Your brother-in-law said, Old Master Kong said, I haven't seen a good virtue like a womanizer, so he wants to challenge, emphasize morality, not sex." So he won't care. ”

Shuheng was rather unimpressed. I'm afraid that everyone likes both talent and morality, but I like both color and art.

Wei Yuqin was stunned for a moment, smacked it for a while, and came back to her senses. She turned her head to look at the beauty bouquet inlaid with beads on the side: "Does he mean to euphemistically say that I am not beautiful enough." Her expression was particularly weird: "You're not pretty, it doesn't matter, I don't care." The corners of Wei Yuqin's mouth twitched, as if she had eaten a sour date.

Shuheng: "——"

Truth be told, it's human instinct to look at faces. She carefully observed Wei Yuqin, this cousin was indeed not outstanding. The girls around her are very distinctive, Shen Zangxiang is delicate and lovely, Dong Yin looks forward to Shenfei, Gan Xiaomei is spicy and straightforward, and Wei Yuqin's skills in all aspects are pointed, but they are too average. Her face is generally delicate, but she does not have the hazy flavor of Shen Zangxiang, so she can only develop in a dignified way - but she is not as good as Dong Yin. Shu Heng looked at her hair again, and the black crow light shone brightly. Fa control will be obsessed to death - I don't know if Brother-in-law Shen is good at that.

Makeup asked her husband in a low voice, and the thrush was not deep or shallow. After all, there are few peerless beauties who are popular in the world, and many times they are all in their own eyes.

"My sister's hair is so beautiful." Shu Heng smiled and stroked gently, Wei Yuqin was also quite proud, she was modest as usual: "It's strange to say, I don't take good care of it, but it looks so good." I carefully serve this face every day, but I don't see how beautiful it is. It's really intentional to plant flowers that don't bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows. ”

Shu Heng was happy, "There is a princess on the other side of the ocean, Audrey Hepburn, beautiful and elegant, the darling of heaven, and the goddess of the whole continent. Someone once asked her how you managed your hair so well. ”

"That's what she said too?"

"No, she said let the child stroke your hair every day."

Wei Yuqin was stunned: "You mean to have a child?" She approached Shuheng to show her the faint freckles under the corners of her eyes: "My mother also said the same, she said that her skin would get better when she gave birth to a daughter, and she was at the beginning." ”

"-I mean to have love" The different channels were struggling, and Shuheng held his chin weakly: "Those children are the kind of sojourners in Yizhuang who have no father or mother." ”

If your appearance is not outstanding enough, then you can be cute or kind, these are all pluses. As far as Shuheng knew, Shen Bokang had a snotty cousin who lived in his house, and Wei Yuqin seemed to have an instinctive hostility towards her and got along very unpleasantly. Brother-in-law Shen is a slightly rigid person, no matter how much you dislike it, you can't show it in front of him, otherwise they will talk to you - marrying a teaching director means that you have to behave. After all, Wei Yuqin is young and playful, and it is difficult to stand the restraints, so it is no wonder that she is always away from home for three days.

But that's your husband after all, how can you hide? Finding a way to capture him is the most important thing. Otherwise, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are angry and he doesn't help you, and the sister-in-law fights and he doesn't favor you, and if you have a concubine in the future, it will be a big day for you.

Wei Yuqin is naturally not stupid, she knew what Shuheng was talking about after a little silence, and she was a little helpless and a little frustrated: "My mother also persuaded me to come." It's that the child is really painful, our aunt and grandmother are married to a Zhuang family, this girl has entered Beijing, she is dazzled, she wants everything when she sees it, she will cry and be coquettish and say good things to make her mother happy, but it is not annoying? Didn't you wonder why I didn't bother to dress up last time, because if you dressed a little better, she would stare at you with those pitiful, blazing eyes. It makes you feel bad, as if you enjoy it is sin. ”——

Therefore, it makes sense that marriage pays attention to the right family, and it is not stubborn. Let the person who spends 10,000 a month and the person who spends 3,000 a month combine it, and it is not surprising that there is no problem. In many cases, material things directly affect people's behavior habits and work styles.

"Fortunately, your brother-in-law is not confused, although he also talks about diligence and thrift, but he also said that this thing was originally a dowry, and no one is qualified to say anything if I want to spend it." She held her forehead in annoyance: "Let's go, listen to you, I'll dress up in the future, and go back to make clothes and jewelry for that girl first." ”

"I can cry and be coquettish, and I will say good things to make my mother-in-law happy, why don't you learn" Shuheng also smiled: "I can't bear the child to trap the wolf." You don't lack those walnuts and dates. ”

It is too important to get married, and if you get married, don't be so willful.

"You are trying to coax me, or do you change your way to coax me in such a big circle", she sandwiched the sugar milk ball to Shuheng, put another one in her mouth, and bypassed the conversation: "You little girls are going crazy, don't you see that the door of the Dong family is going to be broken in the past few days." It's a pity that Mrs. Dong is tight-mouthed, she doesn't say anything, and says that the eldest son's marriage has to be decided by the old grandfather, and she can't put her beak on it. ”

Shuheng is also a little curious, such a young talent, the pride of the sky, I don't know what kind of girl can enter his heart. He is outstanding like a firefly in the night, with good eyes and taste, and Shuheng is a little looking forward to the future Mrs. Dong Shao.
