Yan Zhangyuan's family received the order on the first day of April, prepared for three days, and began to serve wine on the fourth day of April. Because it is a royal marriage, it is not the same as setting up wine on weekdays - there are few guests with all kinds of royal in-laws, especially the maiden family of Princess Fu, even if it is for the sake of the face of the concubine. Yan Zhangyuan's house is not big, and there are many visitors, so I have to open it. The people who received the news felt that the Yan family had thought properly, Wenchen and Xungui did not deal with each other, and their preferences were even more extreme, it was really uncomfortable to eat and drink together, and it was good to be separated.

But the courtyard of Yan Zhang's house is only two entrances, and it can't be opened even if it is dismantled for three days. How many visitors have never been to such a shallow mansion in their lives, how can the official guest hall be squeezed into one place. It just so happens that Yuan Chengyi, who lives next door to Honglu Temple, has always had some neighbors who are good at the three products, so he generously lent out his own house, and for convenience, he also demolished the wall of his house and opened up with the Yan family. On that day, the Yan family received officials and guests, and the Yuan family received hall guests, and they were able to make a temporary venue to set up a stage, which looked a little decent.

Qingliu is like this, no matter how big an official you are, you will inevitably be embarrassed to look at. It's just that fame and fortune can only be one of them, and if you want the lonely height of the clear stream, you have to lose your purse. The Yan family is used to it, and on the first day, facing the flowers of the nobles, he calmly and calmly carried the breeze on his sleeves. The nobles are a little unaccustomed to seeing him do. There is only admiration.

It's much more comfortable to get along with your fellow civil servants. There is an inequality between the rich and the poor in the civil service, and everyone is not comparing gold and silver. Their laws are different, even if they are poor, as long as they are ranked high in the examination that year, they are more decent than the wealth of the family. Yan Zhangyuan was originally a civil official, so he naturally had a civil official temperament. He sent away the nobles and happily greeted the guests he was most willing to deal with.

The Ye family received the post on the fifth day of the first lunar month, the old lady was a powerful official and a high rank, and he inevitably wanted to take the lead when he went, so he sent his two sons there. The third master also wanted to join in the fun, but the old lady was annoying the third room, so he said directly: "The civil officials eat and drink, and after the official order of the scientific examination, you have not even been admitted to the show, and no one will take care of you when you get there, what is there to go!" The choked third master had nothing to say, and watched the two elder brothers go out and go back to the room to drink alcohol.

In ancient times, the banquet was the most exquisite, and the lower the status, the earlier the person arrived, one to express modesty, and the other to take advantage of the good and later up. Greetings. The rank of the eldest master and the second master is neither high nor low, so they will arrive neither early nor late. As soon as he got off the car, the officials of the Ministry of Industry greeted him, and someone led Chen and others to Yuan's house. Yuan Anren has never received so many noble ladies in his house, he is overjoyed, he was busy from morning to night yesterday and did not get tired at all, and today he is even more energetic, hoping to leave a good impression on the wives of the officials, and he will have a reason to move around in the future.

As soon as Chen Shibu got out of the car, Yuan Anren greeted him, and after the salute was finished, he said with a smile: "Chen Yiren and Yue'an people are sitting inside, yo, these are the girls in the house, right?" It's really elegant, and it's forgetful when you see it! ”

Chen smiled: "I have won awards. ”

Jiang Shuren, the wife of Yan Zhangyuan, also stepped forward and took Chen's hand: "Last time your lord held a birthday banquet, you were in confinement, and I didn't dare to look at you for fear of disturbing your purity." We met last year. You look good, you don't look like you just gave birth to a child. Your family is prosperous, what a blessing. He said to Yue Shi again, "Why do you look thinner?" ”

Yue Shi analyzed the disadvantages of the times for several days, was a little tired and haggard, and said with a smile: "I had a cold before, but it's already good." ”

The courtyards of the two entrances were set up with colorful sheds and set up banquets, and the outer courtyard was already full, and everyone got up to greet Chen. When I went to the inner courtyard, it was still empty. Those above the third grade may not be willing to come, and the Chen family is already considered to be an early one in the high-level. People of the same grade arrived at the same time, Jiang Shuren and her daughter-in-law Lin shuttled back and forth, and took a few more trips, and the inner courtyard was full of several tables.

At this time, a little girl came out and asked, "Where is the girl from Ye Ge's hometown?" ”

Ting Yao hurriedly stood up and said, "Here." ”

The girl came over with a smile and said, "Hello girl, the slave is the little maid of the Yan family, our eldest girl invites the girls to come in and sit." ”

Everyone's eyes swept over, looking at Ting Yao, but their eyes couldn't stop sweeping towards Ting Fang. It is rumored that King Fu likes the four girls, but he was beaten by Zhao Niangniang, this is called in to get off the horse?

Her eyes flew around, and the little girl asked again, "Is the girl of the Wen family here?" ”

After making trouble for a long time, I invited a few girls who knew each other, but Tingyao was a few unfamiliar. Princess Fu invited many people, but it would be fine. Ting Yao glared at Ting Fang, who was busy lowering her head and taking action to indicate that she would calm down. Really, she's still very well-behaved most of the time!

Yan's house was full of officials and guests, and Yan Chunwen and his sister Yan Chunfang were inconvenient, so they had to borrow the Yuan family's main house to sit on. Several girls came in and saluted Yan Chunwen, because Yan Chunwen was not married, there was no need to kneel, but Yan Chunwen no longer had to return the salute or avoid it, he sat firmly on the top and accepted everyone's courtesy. Except for the Ye family, the rest are quite familiar. Among them, Hou Jingrong, the daughter of Hou Jiamu, the right hand of the Imperial Palace, has been to the Ye family several times and dealt with Ting Yao, so he naturally sat in one place.

The girls are all acquaintances, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, they are not as stable as their elders. Without saying hello, they chatted. Yan Chunwen didn't say much, exchanged a few words with everyone, and listened quietly. After renewing the tea, he beckoned to Ting Fang: "Fourth sister come here." ”

Ting Fang became the focus again, pulled out a cute smile, and walked to Yan Chunwen in a few steps: "The slave has seen the princess." ”

Yan Chunwen smiled slightly: "You're welcome, come and sit." He gestured to the seat next to him.

Ting Fang hesitated slightly, and then sat down generously. The light in the room was not very good, and when I got closer, I saw the clothes Yan Chunwen was wearing today. The dark green jackdaw playing in the water cloud shoulders and sleeves weave a short jacket with a gold collar, and the green flowing clouds weave makeup and a gold skirt with a horse face, dignified and gorgeous, and it seems to be several years older than when I saw it in the palace that day.

Yan Chunwen also looked at Tingfang, still with a double bun, with a pair of silver-gilt jade-inlaid treasure butterfly hairpins. The eyebrows are picturesque, and the skin is like snow. The dress is also very eye-catching, light red embroidered peach blossom collar skirt, goose yellow moire gauze skirt, tied with green and gold silk silk, the body is still small, the clothes are ordinary, only the collar of the miscellaneous treasure cordyceps hanging on the neck is extremely precious. Yu Guang glimpsed Ting Yao, at first glance it was very elegant, apricot white Ruyi cloud pattern cloak, the mother and son buckle was only embedded with a single bead, look carefully, but the inside is woven gold red jacket everywhere, and the red jacket lined with apricot white is more and more delicate. The horse-faced skirt covered by the cloak is even more colorful, low-key luxury. Look at Ting Shan again, the carved gold rhombus inlaid with red treasure swaying, the rose red bamboo leaf plum blossom field dark flower collar long jacket, is also a golden collar. couldn't help but secretly say that the Ye family was really rich. Her clothes today are still made by Tete, and she has never dealt with the Ye family on weekdays, so she knows the confidence of others today. Thinking about King Fu's words that day, he suddenly saw a small half of the crystal bracelet on Ting Fang's wrist, and almost gasped.

An idle prince like King Fu has no use for marrying Qingliu's daughter. This dynasty has always been very protective of the vassal king, and you can't use it for the court with your strange materials. Qingliu is more like a political signboard, the prince goes to marry, so he can get the reputation of Qingliu, and the vassal king may not be able to live in one place. On the contrary, the cost of the royal palace is very large, and if you marry a rich girl, you will have several boxes of money regardless of the side. Like the Ye family, who doesn't worry about money, if a daughter marries into the royal family, then can't marry ten miles of red makeup? Thinking of this, I have believed the words of King Fu that day. No one wants to push money out of the country anymore. Even if it is a descendant of the heavenly family, who thinks that there is too much money?

The ladies of the high-ranking officials' families have been rolling in the fat powder pile since they were children, their eyes are all powerful, and they have secretly estimated the family background of everyone present. The cabinet family in charge of real power is undoubtedly the best. Yan Chunwen changed the topic and asked Tingfang with a smile: "I heard that you are good at arithmetic?" ”

Ting Fang nodded, her watery eyes smiled into crescent moons: "I also brought two books to the princess today, the gifts at home are from the family, and mine is mine." ”

Yan Chunwen hurriedly said: "I'll take a look." ”

A girl had already quietly withdrawn to look for the Ye family and came in with a wooden box. The box is simple and elegant, there is no carving, only the edge of the box is decorated. The wood grain under the varnish is elegant and beautiful, and it is not ordinary at first glance. When I opened the box, there were two books inside. One volume is "Mathematics for Narrowing" and the other is "Mathematics for Fun".

Ting Fang explained in detail: "Promoting narrow mathematics, as the name suggests, is a game of numbers to watch. It's best to play tricks on people. Turning the page of the book, he pointed to a question and said, "Look at this pentagon, if you only add one stroke, how can you turn it into two triangles." ”

Yan Chunwen couldn't understand it when he looked left and right, Ting Fang pursed his lips and smiled, turned a page, and the answer was covered by extremely thick lines, which naturally turned into two triangles.

Yan Chunwen couldn't help laughing: "It's really narrow!" ”

It is also a clever solution to many mathematical problems, including the most famous solution to the whistle and the chickens and rabbits in the same cage. But Yan Chunwen had only learned household accounts, and he couldn't understand them at all, so he had to praise: "Good words!" ”

Nine out of nine ancient people couldn't understand math problems. Ting Fang sent Yan Chunwen a math book in the hope that she could have more conversations with King Fu. Like the kind of Fu Wang. state, a woman from a good family can't hold it much. But there's only so much she can do, that's all there is to it. The Yan family and the Ye family are not the same thing, the two sides have never dealt with each other, and they don't understand each other's personalities, so it's best not to act rashly. Affair. Yan Chunwen was also tempted, King Fu said that he wanted to treat Tingfang as a sister, and she was always worried in her heart. After consulting with his parents for several days, he could only listen to King Fu's words.

There were several people present who went to the palace to be candidates that day, and in the end, Yan Chunwen came out on top, which was inevitably a little pantothenic. I also heard that Yan Chunwen picked up a stinky fish before, but today it doesn't look like it. Ting Fang is good, but it is not the smart one, coupled with the imperceptibility of the Ye family for many years, outsiders look naturally stable and dignified. The brain was mixed up with rumors and facts, Ting Fang has no problem, could it be that the problem is King Fu? Looking at Yan Chunwen's eyes, there was a lot of sympathy.

They are all half-grown children, and the city is not deep. Ting Yao is a good person, and she secretly poked and poked at the side to see the expressions written on the faces of other ladies, and felt that Ting Fang was really worry-free!

Yan Chunwen and Ting Fang were talking, and suddenly a thunder was released on the ground: "My sister and I hit it off at first sight, how about marrying Jin Lan?" ”
