Nkocho looks like everything is fine.

After the end of the eighth day of August, and the last test on August 14, candidates can go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, if you don't play well in the exam room, whether you can have a good Mid-Autumn Festival is another story.

The whole capital is influenced by Enke, and the joy of the festival is mixed with the emotions of the candidates who are either happy or frustrated, which is quite complicated.

However, the Anjun Palace's palace was not affected by this, but was just happy.

Gu Cong came back from Henan. In the past year, half of the prefectures and counties have been vaccinated with pox, and the Hebei road he is in charge of is particularly smooth, so he returned to the capital before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This Gu Cong entered the gate of the county king's mansion, and the jade bamboo said congratulations to Dieyi: "This is to congratulate my sister, I will be happy immediately!" ”

Dieyi's face was flushed, and she rarely showed shyness, and gently slapped Yuzhu: "Where did I get the happy event." ”

"Yo-" Yuzhu dragged out her voice, "Why doesn't my sister know that Imperial Doctor Gu is back." ”

Dieyi's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and said, "What does it matter to me when he comes back." ”

Now even Mint smiled: "The princess is picking a good day, if it's none of your business, is it possible that Imperial Doctor Gu is going to marry someone else?" ”

The room burst into laughter. Taohua held Brother Xu in one hand, flipped through the account book with the other hand to see the expenses of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and said with a smile: "Don't just worry about jokes, see if there are any needles and threads that have not been prepared, and help her do some." ”

Yuzhu hurriedly said: "The princess is too worried, Sister Dieyi's needlework is the best, and the hijab and wedding dress have already been embroidered." I've secretly seen it, it's no worse than the embroidery girls in the needlework outside, the mandarin duck embroidery, especially-"

Before she finished speaking, Dieyi had already chased after her and was about to tear her mouth. Mama Zheng smiled and went to stop: "Don't make trouble, I'll startle my brother." Yuzhu is the same girl, why did you see it, we haven't seen it yet. ”

Yuzhu hugged his head and smiled: "Once Sister Dieyi was trying on the wedding dress in the house, I saw it through the crack in the door......"

This made Dieyi even more ashamed, threw the thing in his hand, turned his head and ran out. Mint smiled and poked a finger on Yuzhu's head: "You're a ghost elf, this is also a peek." Just look at it, and say it......"

Everyone laughed louder, Brother Xu lay on Taohua's shoulder, looking at this and then that with big black eyes, he was not willing to be lonely.

Taohua put down the account book and hugged him horizontally: "What do you want to say, you love to join in the fun." "This kid is almost five months old now, and he refuses to lie in bed alone all the time, and he has to be picked up several times a day to look around. His little head had been able to stand upright on its own for several minutes, and he looked like a little squirrel, and if he heard any sound, he had to follow it a few times, and he didn't know what he wanted to say.

was hugged by his mother, Brother Xu was not very happy, his little feet kicked a few times, stretched out his little hand to grab Taohua's hair, and protested twice.

Taohua nodded his little nose: "Ah what, lie down obediently, or call the nurse to hug you." "The stinky boy has grown to fourteen pounds, and it's not light to hold.

Of course, Brother Xu didn't understand her words, but after a few taps on his nose, he thought that his mother was playing with him, so he grinned and laughed, moved his hands and feet, and tossed happily in Taohua's arms.

Taohua couldn't laugh at his reaction: "You stinky boy......" This kid doesn't know if he followed Shen Shu, and his strength seems to be a little greater than that of ordinary children, but fortunately she is not one of those delicate women who have no power to restrain chickens, otherwise it is really difficult to hug him with this toss.

The two nurses stretched their hands nervously on the side, but they didn't dare to come forward rashly. The princess has long had a rule, when she is holding the child, no one is allowed to interfere casually. Once my brother cried, and the princess coaxed him badly for a while, and a nurse stepped forward in order to please her, saying that she would coax her brother.

The original sentence can't be said to be wrong, but the nurse shouldn't have said a sentence "Brother must be coaxed when he cries at this time", just this sentence, the princess's face immediately pulled down, and with a look, the nurse was pulled out by the maids and sent away the next day.

Now one of these two nurses was added later, and the first thing she did when she came in was to be told: If the princess is with her brother, they are not allowed to say much.

With the lessons of the past, which nurse dares to violate the rules of the princess? This errand in the county king's mansion is generous, who is willing to lose it? Therefore, although he felt that his brother looked a little like he was going to roll off the princess's lap, no one dared to rush up to stop him, but only watched intently, preparing to rush forward to pick him up if his brother really fell.

But Brother Xu didn't fall down in the end. Taohua knew it in his own heart, so he let him toss a few times and hugged the little guy: "It's really your father's son, follow your father." Wait for him to come back, and let you trouble him. ”

"It was originally my son, not with me." Shen Shu's voice sounded outside the door, the maid opened the curtain, and he stepped in one step, "Brother Xu-"

Brother Xu'er's little head turned around all of a sudden, and he raised his two little arms and shouted at Shen Shu. Shen Shumei smiled, stepped forward and took him over: "Son, call Daddy." ”

Taohua sneered and laughed: "How old is this, if you want to hear him call your father, you will have to wait for many months." ”

Shen Shu skillfully hugged Brother Xu on his arm and slapped his little face with his face: "Son, what your mother said is true?" ”

How could Brother Xu understand, but he especially liked someone kissing him now, and he suddenly giggled, and slapped Shen Shu's face with his small hand.

The two nurses were startled, but seeing that Taohua was pursing her lips on the side and just laughing, she didn't dare to step forward to stop it. Mint saw it at a glance, so he went over and pulled the two of them: "Let's go down, the prince and princess want to accompany my brother for a while." "Although there is Brother Xu, now that Shen Shu is back, these maids still have to avoid it.

The two nurses now know this rule and hurriedly follow out. When there was no one outside, the new queen maiden sighed and whispered: "Sister-in-law, can the prince often hug his brother?" ”

She has been here for nearly a month, but it is the first time she has bumped into the princess here, and she is really surprised to see the prince holding the child so skillfully.

Liu Nanniang has been here for a long time and knows more, and she also whispered: "You don't know, the prince has hugged his brother since he was born." "Now that I've been holding it for four or five months, how can I be skilled?

"This-this is very rare, don't they all say, hugging grandchildren and not hugging children...... "As a nurse, they all walk around in large households, knowing that these families pay attention to this, I really haven't seen any father who would hold his son like this."

Liu Nanniang laughed quietly: "You haven't seen the prince change his brother's diaper." She was shocked when she first saw it.

The royal grandmother was really startled: "How can you let the prince do such a thing?" ”

Liu Nanniang smiled: "The princess asked the prince to do it, we can't control it." At that time, while the princess was wiping her brother's little buttocks with a warm water towel, she asked the prince to bring a dry diaper to help change it. Liu Nanniang still remembers that Mama Zheng's face was a little distorted at that time, and the maids in the room didn't dare to come out, but the princess seemed to be nothing, and the prince actually did it.

"Princess-" The princess's eyes were a little straight, "The princess actually ......" I have long heard that the princess is favored, and she has been married for almost two years, and even when she was pregnant in October, she didn't let the princess touch others, but she never expected that she could be so bold.

"Shh-" Liu Nanniang hurriedly stopped her, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful to get out of your mouth." It's not our turn to speak, and if you don't want to do this errand, don't bother me. "If they are heard coming together to accuse the princess, they must be driven out at once.

Wang Niangniang hurriedly slapped her mouth: "Look at my mouth!" Don't dare anymore. I just didn't think of it...... It is strange that the princess has the ability...... "she can not only practice medicine and consultation, but also firmly grasp her husband."

Only then did Liu Nanniang put her mind at ease and nodded: "The princess is indeed a person with great ability. "To be honest, don't say that the prince himself is not taking it seriously to coax the child, even they are used to it, if it weren't for the princess asking today, she wouldn't have found out, and now watching the prince hugging his brother, and even changing his brother's clothes, it seems that he should be shared. So it's a great habit.

However, this is also what the princess can handle, if she changes to another family, who can call her husband to come over to change the child's diaper, and which family's wives and ladies dare? Therefore, the princess still has the ability.

The capable princess is asking the prince: "How about Daddy and Bai Ge'er?" Mid-Autumn Festival still refuse to come? She wanted to take Jiang Xi and Jiang Bohua to the county king's mansion for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Jiang Xi decided that both father and son had filial piety, and it was inevitable to bring unlucky things to the county king's mansion, but she resolutely refused, even if the princess had no ability, there was no way.

Today, Shen Shu passed, and he just wanted to work hard again, but he returned empty-handed: "My father-in-law still refuses." However, I see that everything at home is fully prepared, Aunt Lin is still very capable, and Bai Ge'er's complexion is much better, and she is a little fatter than a few days ago. When he saw me, he asked Brother Xu how he was, and asked me to bring a gift back. ”

"It's good that Brother Bai can have fun." What Taohua is most worried about is that Cao's death left Jiang Bohua with a knot, "Look at him and his father......"

Shen Shu waved his hand: "I said that you don't believe it if you worry about it, Brother Bai is a sensible person and understands everything." ”

Taohua sighed: "No matter how sensible she is, it is also his own mother." "What's more, how old Jiang Baihua is, it's not so much that he is sensible, but because she brought him up when he was young, and he is closer to her and Jiang Xi.

"That's it." This kind of thing can't be worried, Taohua sighed by herself, and cheered up again, "Since everything is complete at home, let them go to the festival by themselves." Hengzhu's father also came over from time to time, and he could see it. Jiang Xi refused to come for the festival, but he still came to see his grandson often on weekdays, but he refused to stay for a long time.

"I also went to my uncle's and grandfather's." Shen Shu hugged Brother Xu for a while, and saw that he began to yawn, and his big head was also lying on his shoulder, so he hurriedly hugged him and handed him to Taohua, "Brother Xu, are you sleepy again?" ”

Taohua put Brother Xu on the bed: "It's not. When I got up in the morning, I was so energetic that I refused to be honest for a while, and I naturally got sleepy after tossing for a long time. Now that he is lying on the bed, he keeps raising his big head, and his little ass is pouting, turning left and right, and he doesn't have a moment to be idle anyway.

Brother Xu'er has always been trouble-free to sleep, as long as he is sleepy, his head will be on the bed as soon as he is on the bed, and he will sleep completely in seconds. Shen Shu watched his son immediately fall asleep like a little pig, and couldn't help but smile, and sat on the edge of the bed and hugged Taohua: "He fell asleep deeply, I'm afraid he won't wake up even if he is thundered, right?" ”

Taohua grabbed his dishonest hand: "It's not okay if you can't wake up if you thunder...... "It's not dark yet," "You just said that you went to see your uncle?" ”

Shen Shu laughed twice, and he was really honest, in fact, he didn't really want to do anything, he just ate tofu: "I heard my uncle and grandfather say that the eldest uncle asked Brother Song and Brother Yu to record all the articles that ended up." ”

"How?" Taohua is mainly concerned about Jiang Songhua, "How is the second brother's article?" ”

"It is said that it is quite solidly written, as long as the house master is not particularly wrong, most of them can be hit." Of course, Jiang Jun still has a conservative and cautious estimate, and he said that most of the time, it is likely that he will be able to win.

"That's good." Taohua couldn't help but smile on her face, "The second brother has always read books solidly, but he is a little worse in understanding, if only a Master gave him guidance, it would be good to know that way." To be honest, she felt that Jiang Jun's education method was wrong, he was smart in his own reading, but he couldn't just use his own method to apply it to his sons, and he didn't remember the words "teaching according to his aptitude" at all, right? Jiang Songhua is not stupid, but he was scolded for being stupid.

"But Brother Yu is not easy to say. Uncle and grandfather said that his articles were full of flowers, but there were not many things, if the house master loved this tone, if it was such a down-to-earth house master, he would probably have no hope. ”

"He's still young, and it's good to study for a few more years." Taohua's impression of Jiang Yuhua is far inferior to Jiang Songhua, "Speaking of which, he should really learn from his second brother." "The delicate spirit floats on the surface, and it is too light to suppress the weight.

Shen Shu shook his head: "I'm afraid he won't be able to learn." Although he has only seen the two brothers of the Jiang family a few times, he can also see that Jiang Yuhua is not a down-to-earth person, although he is a little smart, but he also likes to be clever, and he can't calm down at all. Don't look at him when he was young, he fell into Xiucai, as if he had a bright future, but I don't know how many Xiucai are old, the so-called young may not be good, he is talking about people like him.

To say that although Jiang Jun does not know how to educate children, his vision is still good, and Jiang Songhua is impressively on the list in the autumn of August 20, and his ranking is quite high, while Jiang Yuhua is famous for Sun Shan.

It was He Su who came to report the good news from the Jiang family, and his face was so smiling that his eyebrows and eyes flew away. Taohua also felt happy when she looked at her: "Fourteenth, this is an excellent ranking." The second brother has really made a lot of progress this year. ”

"Exactly." He Su really felt sorry for Jiang Songhua, and was happy for him in his heart, "The old lady said that it was all the gentlemen and mountain chiefs in the academy who gave good guidance...... There is also a happy event to tell the princess, the old lady is ready to propose marriage for Brother Song, who is the girl of the mountain chief's family. It's just that the girl is still a little younger, and she has just reached the end this year, and people want to keep it for another half a year......"

Jiang Songhua is already twenty years old, speaking of which is an older unmarried young man, Xiao originally wanted to say a daughter-in-law who could marry immediately, and Jiang Jun wanted to find a family among his colleagues, but they were all strongly vetoed by Mrs. Jiang.

Speaking of marriage, the lives of parents are important, and Mrs. Jiang, the grandfather, must also be separated by a layer. However, this time the old lady Jiang was particularly tough, and Jiang Songhua himself said that he would not marry the daughter of the mountain chief, and Jiang Jun could only give up although he was a little deficient in his heart. After all, Jiang Songhua has made great progress after going to the academy, and the head of the mountain here has made great contributions, Jiang Jun thinks that his son has to be admitted to the Jinshi, and it is also a good thing to have a father-in-law who can guide the study, and besides, he also wants to send his younger son to the academy, and the mountain chief cannot be offended.

"Brother Yu is also going to the academy?" Taohua was a little surprised, "The eldest aunt is willing?" ”

Xiao's has always been more fond of this pair of dragon and phoenix fetal daughters, Jiang Songhua can let go of the academy, but Jiang Yuhua may not.

Sure enough, He Su sighed: "Mrs. is naturally reluctant, but this time the master has made up his mind...... Jiang Jun finally realized that although he can read, he may not be a good gentleman, so he made up his mind to throw his youngest son to the academy.

"For such a big thing, let's listen to the eldest uncle." A loving mother has many defeated children, and she is talking about something like this.

He Su replied respectfully, and said: "Mrs. Yuan wanted to hold a banquet at home, but the master said that Brother Song would try it in the spring of next year, so he ...... it."

In fact, Jiang Jun felt that there was nothing to show off if he was a lifter in the exam, and Mrs. Jiang rarely agreed with his idea. Xiao Shi really wanted to celebrate, but thinking about the frustrated youngest son, he still dispelled this idea.

Taohua nodded, turned around and instructed Mint: "Take a box of the pearls from last time." ”

This pearl was picked out of the pearls given by the Zhao family, and every twelve contained a small box, Taohua opened it and took a look, and nodded to He Su: "Second brother wants to be happy, these are my little meaning, and I can barely see them in the dowry." ”

When she opened the box just now, He Su saw that the twelve pearls were the size of soybeans, each of them round and smooth, and it was best to use them to set the head surface. The mountain chief's family also has thin assets, but there is no such jewelry, so he made a dowry and sent it over, so that the woman's family can be inlaid with a head and then marry, one is decent, and the other is good to wear it in the future, which is the most convenient. This gift is really intimate.

He Su sighed in his heart, and bowed on his knees: "Brother Song thanked the princess on behalf of the slave and the maid. "Xiao's sometimes inevitably complains that Taohua disregards sisterhood and refuses to help Jiang Meihua, and looking at this child's gift, you know that the princess of the county is not cold-hearted, but also depends on who she is right.

"That's right-" Taohua has been really busy with her husband and children recently, and she didn't care much about the things outside, and when she sent him away, she suddenly remembered something, "Is Jiang Ergongzi hit?" ”

Mint and Yuzhu glanced at each other. They knew the news yesterday, but the prince didn't let them say it. But now that the princess is asking, she can't help but answer: "The second son of Jiang is the current branch of the Jieyuan." ”

Xie Yuan is the first to lift people. Taohua couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Is it Xie Yuan?" "Jiang Heng's talent is so outstanding? Although Xie Yuan is only the top of the list, and the gold content is not as high as the champion, it is still good enough.

"Yes." Yuzhu observed Taohua's face, and said carefully, "What about the guests of Jiangfu's banquet today...... Jiang Heng has just gotten married, and now he is in the middle of the Yuan, although he can't be regarded as a Dengke, but he is also a double happiness. However, the Jiang family said that they also had some friendship with the princess of the county, and the guests of this banquet did not post to the princess of the county, but it was really ...... Although Jiangjun Ma sent an invitation to the prince, it was the prince who found an excuse to push it away, but according to the rules, there should be an invitation to go down to the back house.

Do the math, when the second son of Jiang got married, the princess had just come out of confinement, and the Jiang Mansion used this as an excuse not to invite the princess, and now this is ...... Yuzhu didn't know about those things in Wuxi in the past, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she knew each other very well and would never ask casually.

Taohua didn't care about this, in fact, she didn't want to go to Jiangfu - who likes to see the face of the county lord of Nanhua, besides, she now has a husband and a son, and Jiang Heng should indeed avoid suspicion: "This is a great event, did you give a gift?" ”

"The prince said that it would be sent according to the routine, but there was no precedent in the house, so the prince sent it according to the example when Ou Gongzi was a jinshi."

At that time, Ou Hang was a Zhongjin Shi, and Jiang Heng was only a Zhongju person, but the Ou family and Jiang Mansion could not be compared, so according to this example, giving gifts was actually a bit simple for Jiang Mansion. When Mint answered, he couldn't help but look at Taohua's face.

Taohua was relieved as long as she heard that the gift was given, and waved her hand and said, "Listen to the prince." Then the prince is going to Jiangfu today? "Having a child will really take up too much of your energy and time, Shen Shu left early this morning, and she didn't know where she went.

"I always have to show my face, but the prince said that he would come back at noon, and let the princess wait for the prince to have dinner together."

"Then you go to the kitchen and take a look, and prepare a few dishes that the prince likes to eat." Speaking of recovering from Shen Shu's eyes, she was busy with the child again, and indeed put less thought on Shen Shu than before, which was really not right. He's probably been busy with Enko's business lately, and it's a lot of brains, so she should be more concerned.

In addition, she has been a little abandoned about medical skills recently, and she has to pick it up again. Although Shen Shu's eyes have recovered a lot and he can already see red, he has not fully recovered, and it is still a little difficult to distinguish between different reds. He has been poisoned for many years, and it is possible that it will not be completely cured, but it is better to try again.

Taohua was thinking in her heart, and there was news sent in from outside: "The queen fell off the stage, and when she woke up, she laughed and sang like crazy, and the emperor announced that the princess would enter the palace immediately!" ”
