The third young master in Mint's mouth was naturally referring to Jiang Yuhua. He began to take the boys' exam this year, passed the county exam in February, and went to take the prefectural exam a few days ago.

Taohua didn't want to talk to Jiang Xinghua, so she immediately got up when she heard this: "This is really a happy event, you should go and congratulate your aunt." ”

Don't look at it as just a small child, this is the www.biquge.info of the imperial examination, I don't know how many readers are unlucky, and they will stop in the position of a child for the rest of their lives. Jiang Yuhua is only fourteen this year, although he is not a genius, he must be considered smart and able to read.

When Momoka passed, everyone had already gathered in the main courtyard. Yu Shi hugged Jiang Yuhua and smiled, Jing Shi has been in a good mood recently, and he also praised Jiang Yuhua in a funny way, and said a few words that were fresh and festive, which made Yu Shi smile at this daughter-in-law who had never looked good.

Jiang Yuhua himself didn't seem to be the same thing, and said with a smile: "This is nothing." Tongsheng is not famous, and he has to pass the hospital examination in the fall, so he can be considered famous. ”

After passing the hospital exam, he is a showman, and he has the lowest fame. Yu Shi smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, good, our Brother Yu is ambitious." ”

Jing clapped his hands and said: "In a few days, Brother Yu and Brother Song will go to the exam together, if they are all over, won't our family have two more talents at once?" Then the mother will be even more happy. ”

Yu Shi really smiled even more happily: "You can say auspicious words." ”

Jiang Songhua stood to the side, with a look of joy and some worry on his face.

Momoka blamed him for pituring him. Although the subordinates in the second room were not inquired, they also knew that Jiang Zhu was not very satisfied with Jiang Songhua. Last year, he didn't pass the Xiucai exam, Jiang Zhu was not happy, this year Jiang Yuhua was a child, and the pressure on him was even greater, in case Jiang Yuhua passed the college test this year, he didn't pass......

"Second brother, in fact, many people are late bloomers, and their knowledge is solid, and there is always an opportunity to display when the time comes."

Jiang Songhua glanced at Taohua gratefully: "Thank you, third sister." ”

Xiao Shi also heard this, but his face sank suddenly, and when everyone dispersed, he pulled Jiang Songhua aside: "Song'er, don't listen to Sister Tao'er, you will definitely be able to show talent this year!" ”

"Mother-" Jiang Songhua hurriedly looked around, fortunately there was no one else except He Su, "The third sister is also relieved to me." ”

Xiao Shi said angrily: "What a relief, it's clearly a curse for you!" Her eyes turned red as she spoke, "What a late bloomer, you don't have to listen to her." Mother knows that you study hard, and you will definitely be able to show off your talents, lift people, and become jinshi, just like your father! She also knew that Jiang Zhu had pinned hopes on her eldest son, and the more Jiang Songhua did not go well in the imperial examination, the greater the pressure on her body.

Jiang Songhua was a little helpless: "Mother, I know ......" I don't know when he has replaced the affectionate "mother" with a formal but slightly distant "mother", not that he doesn't want to be close to his mother, but between mother and son, more and more words about imperial examinations, examinations, middle examinations and the like, there seems to be nothing else in his life except these.

"You can go back to school." Xiao Shi wiped the corners of his eyes, and took the eldest son's hand and was reluctant to let go, "Tell Ling Xiao and Changchun to serve well, if you have anything to want, just come and tell your mother, you just need to study well." Don't think about anything, you will definitely be able to win this year. ”

Jiang Songhua had to agree to leave, Xiao Shi looked at his son's tall and thin back, and planned to ask the two maids in his son's room to boil some tonic soup to spend the night, and only turned back after a while, only to see Jiang Yuhua still coquettish in front of Yu's, Jiang Danhua sat on the side, pouted and looked at the twin brothers. She has been ignored a lot by Xiaoshi these days, and after a little more body suffocation, she looks a little thinner.

Xiao Shi couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to take his daughter's hand and said, "Your younger brother is a child, what a good thing." Is it okay for my mother to make Longjing shrimp for you to eat at night? ”

Jiang Yuhua smiled and turned her head: "Mother, I was born as a child, why did I make shrimp for Sister Dan, shouldn't it be for me?" Because the two sisters and brothers were born when they were only one cup of tea away, Jiang Yuhua refused to call Jiang Danhua a sister when she was naughty.

Xiao Shi looked at his clever little son, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "You don't like to eat shrimp, can my mother make rock sugar hooves for you?" This year, you two birthdays have not had a good time, and when you pass the hospital exam, my mother will make you your favorite dish. ”

Jiang Yuhua clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay! The rock sugar hooves made by the mother are the most delicious, and the taste made by the cook is not right. After that, he said, "Mother, I met a Shu Jishi in the academy, and he told me a lot about the college exam, and I will definitely be able to pass the Xiucai exam this year!" ”

Xiao Shi said in surprise: "Do you know a Shujishi?" Is there still a jinshi in the academy? ”

Generally, those who pass the examination can be officials, and few of them are transferred to teach, and most of the gentlemen who teach people are lifters or talents. Although Jiang Yuhua's academy is good, it does not teach as a scholar, but there are several well-educated veterans.

"It's a Jinshi surnamed Liu, and after he got the Jinshi, he became a Jishi in the Hanlin Academy." Jiang Yuhua said carefully, "Now that he has free time, the academy invited him to come and give a lecture to the people who participated in the Spring Festival in the following year. ”

The gentlemen in the academy are all just lifting people, and they have little experience in Chunqiu, so it will be of great benefit to invite a jinshi to talk about it. Even Yu couldn't help but nod: "Your mountain chief is thoughtful, and it is rare to invite someone." ”

Jiang Yuhua said with a smile: "I heard that this Mr. Liu's family is very poor. After he won the Jinshi, because he had no money to do it, he waited for the shortage, so he simply took the Shu Jishi exam and entered the Hanlin Academy to study for another three years. It's just that the rice beads in the capital are paid laurels, and they have to find something to supplement the family. There is no legitimate errand for Hengzhu Jishi, and it is also a double benefit to come to the academy to give lectures. ”

"It's not easy." Yu Shi nodded and said, "Now the atmosphere is like this, if you don't do anything, you will be buried if you have the talent to learn." ”

Jiang Yuhua said: "It's not what my grandmother said. Mr. Liu told me some ways to take the exam, and I listened to it very helpful. ”

Xiao Shi couldn't help but rejoice: "This is really good. Then he said, "If you pass the hospital exam this year, you should give this Mr. Liu a thank you gift." It's rare for you to know a jinshi, and if you can give more advice, it will be beneficial. By the way, what about your brother, didn't he listen? ”

"Naturally, I called my brother to listen." Jiang Yuhua patted his chest, "Mr. Liu only gave lectures to people, and he also fell in love with me, so he specially told me and my brother." ”

"Why didn't your brother tell me about it......" Xiao Shi muttered to himself, and put this thought away again, "That's it, you two brothers are all right." ”

Jiang Danhua was happy, and his mother's topic turned to his younger brother again, and he couldn't help but pull his face down again. It's a pity that no one noticed her, Yu and Xiao asked Jiang Yuhua a lot of words before letting him go, and when he turned around, he saw Jiang Danhua with a calm face, and couldn't help but say: "How can you pull your face for such a happy event." ”

Jiang Danhua twisted his head: "It's just a child, not a junior sergeant." ”

"You know what." Xiaoshi couldn't help but teach his daughter, "This meal is all eaten in one bite, Tongsheng, Xiucai, lifting, and finally Jinshi, your father came step by step back then." As he spoke, he became happy again, "If your brother can win the show this year, it will be earlier than your father." ”

"Then let's wait until he wins the show." Jiang Danhua was even more unconvinced, "Mother, what's wrong with the big sister?" Didn't you say you were going to take me to see my big sister, when will you go? ”

Xiao Shi's words: "This, wait a minute......" Lu Baolin doesn't know what to do now, but the emperor has already said that this matter cannot be publicized, it is conceivable that next time he enters the palace, he can only take Taohua with him.

Jiang Danhua turned his head angrily and ran away. Xiao Shi was a little helpless: "This kid is too ignorant. ”

Yu Shi sat next to him and didn't speak, and then he said slowly: "Last time, you brought Sister Tao into the palace, but what happened?" ”

Xiao's heart is a little weak, she has not told Yu's Jiang Meihua has decided to give up the matter of the Queen Mother, so she has to say: "It's nothing, just to see Sister Mei." Sister Mei'er is now much better and has lost some weight. ”

Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really?" No wonder you were so happy to see you came back last time......"

"It's happy, it's happy...... "It's not for Jiang Meihua's figure at all......

Yu Shi frowned and glanced at her. This niece has been in front of her for more than ten years, and she knows how her temper is, and now she is like this, eight out of ten is hiding something from herself, she was about to ask, and there was already a maid outside to report: "There is someone in the palace, and the third girl is going to enter the palace!" ”

"Miss Xuansan enters the palace?" Xiao's heart was happy, could it be because Lu Baolin was well, and the emperor wanted to reward Taohua? However, after thinking about it, I felt that something was not quite right-the emperor had said that this matter could not be publicized, why did he publicize it himself now?

I was about to ask again, but when the curtain was lifted behind me, it was Agarwood who followed in, and the look on her face was not very good-looking: "Old lady, madam, it's not good, it's the Queen Mother who wants to announce the third girl!" ”

Yu was still a little dazed: "Why does the Queen Mother want Sister Xuantao?" ”

Agarwood glanced at Xiao Shi, and had to reply: "Jieyu Niangniang asked the third girl to treat Lu Baolin's illness has spread out." Wu Baolin recommended the three girls in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother announced that the three girls would enter the palace and diagnose the pulse of the Queen Mother. ”

"What?" Yu Shi was confused when he heard it, "Sister Mei asked Sister Tao to treat whom?" ”

Agarwood came over, originally wanted to find Xiao's to discuss, but he didn't expect Xiao's to be here with Yu's. Someone from the palace announced the summons, and this time could not be delayed, so he could only say it in front of Yu's face.

"You asked Sister Tao to go to see Lu Baolin?" Yu's face changed, and he pointed at Xiao Shi, "There is a royal doctor in the palace, what do you want to do!" "That's the person the queen is going to move to the cold palace! What kind of misdiagnosis, can't the imperial doctor in the palace even distinguish between tuberculosis and plum nuclear qi? It was obvious that the queen didn't want people to treat Lu Baolin, what did Jiang Meihua do to deal with the queen?

Xiao's didn't expect this to stab the queen mother, so she said stubbornly: "Sister Mei also wants to share the emperor's worries - mother, Sister Mei has to follow the emperor in order to get ahead, and the queen mother and the queen are unreliable." ”

Yu Shi was so angry that he was dizzy: "You can't go against the queen openly when you share your worries!" Now that the queen has summoned Sister Tao, if Sister Tao can't cure the Queen Mother's illness, what should she do? ”

Xiao Shi chuckled in his heart, and reluctantly said, "No...... I saw that Sister Tao's pediatric medical skills were really good, so I saw that it was not tuberculosis after I diagnosed Lu Baolin......"

"You, you're stupid!" Yu Shi was so angry that he couldn't take care of the maid on the side to save face for his daughter-in-law, "Don't you really know that Lu Baolin is not tuberculosis?" But the illness of the Queen Mother is something that the envoys of the Tai Hospital can't do! ”

Since the Queen Mother was angry with Huang Gonggong, she often did evil in her chest and vomited. With the respect of the Queen Mother, the Tai Hospital naturally tried its best, but there was no way to deal with this disease, and he couldn't find the reason and couldn't stop vomiting. Now Huang Gonggong bears the responsibility of the empress dowager, and has been scolded twice by the emperor.

"What's more, this kind of angry disease, the Queen Mother said that it is good, and if it is not good, it is not good, do you understand?" Yu secretly hated that she didn't set rules for her daughter-in-law earlier, if she was like the daughter-in-law of other people, she would understand that some diseases are not up to the doctor, but the patient himself.

Xiao Shi was already scolded, and Agarwood saw that the situation was not good, so he had to step forward and say: "Old lady, the maid in the palace is still waiting outside, the third girl has to hurry into the palace, this-"

"What's the use of entering the palace!" Yu couldn't wait to give Agarwood a slap, but he was afraid that it would not be good for the palace people to see it under the guise of it, "I see that you were okay in the past, why don't you know how to persuade your master!" If the Queen Mother says that Sister Tao not only can't cure the disease, but also cures it even worse, do you want your master to live! ”

Xiao Shi trembled and said: "But, it's not Sister Mei who asked Sister Tao to treat the Queen Mother......

"Who's going to let you argue with that!" Yu Shi was almost angry. But now it's too late to beat Xiao's family, "Go and call Sister Tao, let's get ready to enter the palace." Yinliu, you go, tell her what is going on, tell her to enter the palace and deal with it carefully, it is best to say that it can't be cured, and don't prescribe medicine to the queen mother. ”

Xiao's head was dizzy, and he muttered: "Sister Tao and Lu Baolin know each other, even if Sister Mei doesn't recommend her in front of the emperor, she will go to Lu Baolin for treatment......"

Yu's eyes lit up: "Let Sister Mei say this-" The words were only halfway through and then dimmed, "That's it, they are all surnamed Jiang, how can they get out of the way?" ”

"Then, what should I do......" Xiaoshi was about to cry, "Mother, you also said that Sister Mei would be liked by the Queen Mother when she entered the palace, you have to think of a way......"

Yu Shi sighed and stood up: "That's it, I'll go with Sister Tao." She is a little girl's house, and it is not proper to enter the palace alone, and I can barely say that I can go. Come on, change me into plain clothes, don't want those gold and jade buns, just take a black gauze, and pick up the rules for jewelry. ”

Yu Shi hurriedly packed up, and the waiter was already waiting a little impatiently outside, but the housekeeper stuffed two purses in a row to stabilize him, and when he saw the Jiang family's carriage coming out, he rode the horse and walked away.

As soon as Yu got into the carriage, he saw Taohua sitting in the car, with a cold expression, and couldn't care about anything else, so he first looked at her head and body, and saw that there were not many ornaments, and they were decent, neither ostentatious nor flamboyant, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "When you enter the palace, you have to speak carefully, if the nobles don't ask, don't speak." ”

Taohua held her breath and sneered: "Why didn't Grandmother tell Jieyu these words?" If Jieyu Niangniang understood this truth, Grandmother Uncle would not have to worry about this trip today. ”

Yu's face was hot, and Agarwood hurriedly said: "This matter is not what our mother said. ”

"Yes, your mother's mouth is very strong, and you have never said anything to the emperor." Taohua said sarcastically, "I have never been bent on pleasing the emperor, so I pushed people out regardless of whether others were willing or not." ”

Agarwood's face was also swollen red, and he reluctantly said: "If our mother doesn't say it, won't the third girl go to Lu Baolin for treatment?" Besides, if there is no mother in the palace, Lu Baolin is sick, and the third girl is afraid that she will not be able to see her at all. ”

Taohua sneered: "You have a lot of truths, I hope you can make the Queen Mother happy today, and let me cure the Queen Mother's illness." Otherwise, if you are lucky, you will go to the cold palace and say it, and if you are unlucky, you will go underground to tell your ancestors. ”

Agarwood's face turned white, and Yu's heart was also up and down, and he reluctantly said: "The Queen Mother is not a murderous person, as long as you follow the rules, if you can't cure it, you will admit that your medical skills are not good, and you can't blame you if you want to come to Niangniang." After all, you are still young, and you are not a palace doctor. ”

These words are a little more reliable, and Yu Shi probably didn't know Jiang Meihua's idea, so Taohua reluctantly calmed the anger in her stomach and asked Agarwood coldly: "Do you know what the Queen Mother's illness is?" ”

Agarwood didn't know much, that is, the little things that everyone in the palace knew, Taohua couldn't get the gist after hearing it, so she had to stop asking.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Yu Shi had no fate, and Taohua was a folk girl, of course, she only had to walk in, and she couldn't even bring a maid. Taohua is just that, Yu Shi walked all the way to Shouxian Palace, already out of breath, if it weren't for Agarwood and Taohua standing left and right, maybe they would have fallen halfway.

Taohua entered the palace twice, and came to the door of Shouxian Palace to kowtow, maybe it was the first time to enter Shouxian Palace. When I arrived at the Shouxian Palace, I had to wait outside the palace gate, and I had to wait under the corridor, so I had to wait under the corridor, so I reported one layer at a time, and finally stepped into the main hall of the Shouxian Palace.

The main hall is deep and wide, and there are many people inside. Taohua lowered her head slightly, walked a few steps inside with Yu's side, and then knelt down to salute.

No one paid any attention to them. The people in the hall were laughing and laughing, as if they hadn't seen the two more people at all.

Taohua glanced at Yu Shi out of the corner of her eye. She was a little uncertain, why did Yu Shi come today? It is said that although the imperial doctor is also of high grade, he is not qualified to ask his wife for a decree, so Yu is just a commoner, without the queen mother's call, she should not enter the palace even if she dies in a hurry at home. Yu is not as confused as Xiao Shi, so why does she dare to do such an inappropriate thing? Does she really think that her surname is Yu, so that the Queen Mother can reduce her displeasure with Jiang Meihua?

The floor of the main hall is paved with terrazzo bricks, which is hard and hard, Taohua kneels for a while and feels that her knees hurt, and Yu is getting older, and she is even more shaky. Only then did I hear a faint voice from above: "Which one is Miss Jiang San?" ”

There are only two people in total, an old woman and a young girl, which one is Miss Jiang San, do you still need to ask? It's just a deliberate attempt to make them kneel a little longer.

Taohua sneered, but she still had to answer: "People's girl Jiang Taohua, knock on the Queen Mother." ”

"Oh—look up, I'll take a look."

Taohua raised her head slightly and glanced around. The throne of the Queen Mother is still far away from her, but she has good eyesight and can still see it very clearly. The Queen Mother is over fifty years old, but she still looks like a person in her forties, and she is very well maintained, but her face is a little haggard, and she thinks that she vomits and tosses from time to time these days.

The woman closest to the Queen Mother wore a red large-sleeved shirt with a golden phoenix pattern on the placket, and she thought she was the queen. However, there is no similarity between her appearance and the Queen Mother, but her eyebrows are high, with a stubborn force, and she is not a fuel-efficient lamp when she looks at it.

Taohua saw the two most important at a glance, and she didn't have time to look at the concubines on both sides, and she estimated that the queen mother could also see her face clearly, so she lowered her head slightly, so as not to be deducted from the hat.

The Queen Mother didn't talk to her anymore, as if she had just discovered Yu's: "Why do you still let people kneel, you're old, quickly help you up and give you a seat." ”

The so-called seat is actually a small mound, and the older people sit on it and feel uncomfortable, I'm afraid it is better to stand. But Yu Shi could only refuse, and then thanked him again and again, and sat down with difficulty.

She was sitting, but Taohua could only kneel, scolding her mother in her heart, but she couldn't bring out a little injustice on her face. was guessing how long he would have to kneel, when he heard the voice of the waiter outside: "The emperor has arrived, and the king of Anjun has arrived." ”

The concubines and concubines in the hall hurriedly got up, Taohua was pushed by the palace maid, and could only move her stiff knees to the side, and saw two figures passing by, one ochre yellow and one red, saluting the queen mother together.

"Why did the emperor come over?" The Queen Mother also moved her body, "Xiao Si is also here, there is something to enter the palace today?" ”

"King Anjun heard that the queen mother was unwell, so he came to greet him and sent a box of Codonopsis." The emperor said with a smile.

"Really?" The Queen Mother's tone was a little sarcastic, "I also came here when the emperor heard the news of the Jiang family's daughter." ”

At this time, except for the queen, the rest of the concubines avoided the side hall after saluting the emperor because of the king of Anjun, and the queen mother had no taboo to speak. However, she immediately realized that in front of King Anjun, she shouldn't embarrass the emperor, but she couldn't pull down her face and say a soft word, so she had to lose her temper with the palace maid next to her and said, "Why don't you add a brocade cushion to the emperor?" Don't look at it now is summer, the porcelain pier is cold and cold, the emperor came from under the sun outside, if it is cold and sweaty, it is not good. ”

The emperor hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you for your care." took the brocade mat and put it on herself, and said, "Mother just said that Jiang is a daughter, but what did Jiang Jieyu do wrong?" ”

The Queen Mother snorted lightly, pointed at Taohua and said, "I'm talking about Jiang Jieyu's sister." ”
