"Lang Jun."

Zhang Ying entered the study with a bowl of bird's nest porridge and smiled at Cui Zhenggong, who was reading: "Lang Jun has worked hard to study, I specially cooked a bowl of porridge, Lang Jun will taste it." ”

Cui Zhenggong put down the book and glanced at Zhang Ying coldly: "I'll drink it later." ”

Zhang Ying stood aside with a smile, waiting for Cui Zhenggong to drink porridge, Cui Zhenggong waited for a while and saw that Zhang Ying didn't leave, and looked up: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Lang Jun, I see that the streamer is a little unsatisfactory to serve Hou Lang Jun to study, so it is better to change the ......"

Before Zhang Ying's words were finished, Cui Zhenggong snapped and slapped one hand on the book: "For whom?" ”

"I married the girl Liu Er has a younger brother named Mo'er, I think he is very clever, and he is literate, so it is better to ask him to serve Langjun." Zhang Ying didn't seem to notice that Cui Zhenggong was already angry, and said with a smile.

Cui Zhenggong took a deep breath, suppressed the fire in his heart, and hooked the corners of his lips: "It's okay, just him, but, the streamer has served me since she was a child, and she can't be called nowhere to go, just right, I still lack a girl who makes a bed and folds the quilt, so I transferred the streamer to my house to make up for it first, and when I have a child in the future, I will mention her as an aunt, and it will not be in vain for her to play with me." ”

"What, what?" Zhang Ying was dumbfounded: "Lang Jun's words, what do you mean by this?" Didn't you say ......"

"What did I say?" Cui Zhenggong didn't look at Zhang Ying: "Who doesn't have a three wives and four concubines in the backyard, what's this, Ying'er is from the Zhang family, and she knows the etiquette of the world since she was a child, presumably, she won't stop her husband from taking a concubine." ”

Cui Zhenggong blocked Zhang Ying's mouth under the pretext of family etiquette, so that Zhang Ying couldn't get angry, her face was red, her eyes were sore, and she looked at Cui Zhenggong in disbelief.

Seeing that Cui Zhenggong still ignored her, Zhang Ying's heart was stuffed, and she was even more angry, and waved the bird's nest on the table, and the celadon bowl fell to the ground and shattered: "Okay, it's good, Cui Zhenggong, you're so good." ”

Turning around, Zhang Ying walked out of the study with heavy steps, and as soon as she went out, she shed a few tears.

She was only angry, and she didn't see the corners of her mouth hooked by the streamer hidden in the shadows, with a triumphant smile, and a trace of terrifying viciousness.

Because it was a national funeral, Li Luan'er's small shop opened even later, and it didn't open until the end of February.

Xu is not allowed to drink during the national funeral, people still have to eat vegetarian, so everyone endures ruthlessly, as soon as the store opens, the guests are very lively.

Coincidentally, the opening of the restaurant coincided with the season when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, the houses of the small shop were built very quaint, and there were no people around, only a few acres of peach blossoms surrounded.

If nothing else, just for this beautiful scenery, there are passers-by who are leisurely and leisurely to come over and order two side dishes and drink a few glasses of wine.

After Li Luan'er opened the restaurant, she often came to help, and she heard a news from the conversation of passers-by, the new emperor ascended the throne, changed the Yuan Deqing, and sure enough, he made a holy decree to open Enke, and several people were already in a hurry to go to Beijing to participate in this meeting.

Li Luan'er, who can try or not, doesn't care, she only cares about one thing.

Tong Guò's hard work in the winter, with the income from Li Luan'er going up the mountain to hunt, the profits from Li Chun's restaurant, and the money from the sale of the medicine and wine that Mrs. Jin and Li Feng'er made, all of which were four or five thousand taels of silver, which was enough for them to buy a house and property in the capital and live for a period of time.

Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin discussed, and when the spring business was done, she would take her family to Beijing together, in order to buy more properties after going to Beijing, Li Luan'er began to wander between the mountains to hunt, she was very hard to accumulate silver, as soon as she entered the mountain it was four or five days, every time she came back, she was like a beggar, her hair was dirty, and her clothes were dirty, and Li Feng'er was sad to see.

Li Feng'er knew why Li Luan'er was like this, and in order to share the heavy responsibility for her sister, she began to make needlework and sell it, although the money she got was very small, but she was very happy.

Not only the people of the Li family, but also the Ma family, seemed to understand something, and worked very hard to hold their breath, and by the end of March, Li Luan'er alone got a few hundred taels of silver, and the profit of the restaurant was not small, and in addition to the capital, he also earned more than three hundred taels in a month.

At this time, in the capital, the examination has begun, in addition, there are already ministers who have handed over the excerpt to request the election, because the heirs of the emperors of several generations of Dayong are thin, and the longevity of Emperor Ming Qi is not long, the ministers of the court and the central government feel that the new emperor is not young, and it is very important to establish a concubine and have an heir as soon as possible, so that they can be more down-to-earth.

Of course, there should be a reason why Gaozong and Emperor Ming Qi are both infatuated seeds, and those ministers are also afraid that Emperor Deqing will be obsessed with a woman and miss the major event of extending the heir.

When the news reached Fenghuang County, it made Li Luan'er stupid for a long time.

This, this......

Doesn't it mean that the ancients attached great importance to filial piety, why did Emperor Ming Qi die for how many days, and he was about to be elected as a new emperor?

Shouldn't Emperor Deqing's father be filial piety when he died, didn't he say that he should keep filial piety for three years?

Later, Li Luan'er inquired and understood that this royal filial piety is different from ordinary people, they all replace the moon with the day, and then pondered for many days before they understood that in fact, the ancients kept filial piety like that, and there are few people who really do it.

First of all, it is too inhumane to say that the father and mother die to keep the filial piety for three years, and the three years can not have the same room, which is too inhumane, if someone dies in a row with the father and mother, then it is necessary to keep the filial piety for six years, just in time for the son of the family is a good age for childbearing, you don't let people have children, and after these six years, in case of something wrong, who cares, this does not delay things.

Moreover, in ancient times, there was a system of three wives and four concubines, and the ancient rites also stipulated that when the concubine died, all the sons, including the sons-in-law, should keep a year of filial piety.

Thinking about it like this, Li Luan'er first had to laugh stupidly, this ancient man is really interesting.

Then, she inquired about some things, not to mention anything else, that is, in these surrounding villages, those fathers and mothers still had more children after they died, and some people still held two children for three years, and no one said anything.

It is said that the queen mother also came forward to help the new emperor elect, and the ministers and daughters below the four grades from all over the country entered Beijing one after another, to participate in the post-election ceremony, and the daughters of those five or six small officials in the capital began to order jewelry, buy all kinds of fabrics, and wanted to soar into the sky and fly on the branches to make a phoenix.

is also the same, Li Luan'er knows that the Dayong Dynasty is different from the previous dynasties.

In order to prevent relatives from becoming bigger, the ancestral system was set, and the queens of the previous dynasties after the Dayong Dynasty could not be selected from the family, that is, the daughters of the official family, and the official position of their father and brother should not exceed four grades, and they did not choose talents after the election, mainly to choose morality, dignified appearance, and benevolent character and abide by etiquette.

Because of this regulation, the emperors of the Dayong Dynasty did not have relatives to worry about, and those cabinet ministers did not have to think about how to let their daughters into the palace, nor did they have to sell their daughters to save glory for the sake of official positions, so that all the ministers who entered the cabinet were outstanding cadres, and it made the Dayong country more and more stable and safe.

After March, Li Luan'er began to pack up her belongings and prepare to enter Beijing, and she also paid more attention to the things in the capital, inquiring about the family background of officials in Beijing from time to time, as well as the marriages of major families.

And Mrs. Jin made her first appearance and wrote a letter to General Yan, asking him to help find a suitable house.

Not long after the letter went, General Yan replied that there was an official who wanted to sell the house and return to his hometown, and General Yan saw that his house was very good, so he bought it.

The letter said that although this house is not in the west city, but it is also located in the rich area of the east city, the surrounding residents are mostly big businessmen and officials, the security is very good, and the location of the building is also very quiet, but it is also convenient to buy things, and there are shops in the alley not long to walk, which is very quiet.

In addition, General Yan attached the floor plan of the house with the letter, Mrs. Jin and Li Luan'er both read it, this house is very good, the three-entry house is very spacious, the structure of the house is also very reasonable, and it should not be awkward to live.

Because it is the house that General Yan came forward to help buy, the price is not expensive, the house in Sanjin is only more than 1,000 taels of silver, and the people also come with furniture, which can be regarded as extremely cheap.

After receiving the letter, Mrs. Jin did not delay much, and directly replied to General Yan, attaching a silver ticket, and thanked the old general for his help.

After the house was done, the Li family waited for the summer to come and end the sale in Phoenix and move into the capital together.

As for the livelihood after entering Beijing, Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin also discussed, settled down first after entering the city, and then bought a suitable shop and did a rouge gouache business.

Mrs. Jin's medical skills are excellent, and she has a hand in configuring spices and rouge, Li Luan'er thought, the cost of doing this business is not high, and the profits are huge, so it is very suitable for them.

Just as the Li family was preparing, the list of exams came down.

On this day, Li Luan'er just entered the restaurant, and listened to a few diners talking there, this time, Cui Zhenggong, the eldest and youngest of the Cui family, turned out to be a famous Sun Shan again, and he did not pass the exam.

Li Luan'er hooked her lips and smiled, although she said that she had no impression of Cui Zhenggong, but because of the relationship between the original body, Cui Zhenggong fell off the list, she also felt a little happy, and a little hateful.

After entering the backyard, Li Luan'er didn't say anything, but saw Li Feng'er running over happily, and said directly without wiping her sweat: "Sister, the Cui family's goods have fallen off the list again." ”

This little voice was sweet, with so much joy, which showed how much Li Fenger hated Cui Zhenggong.

"Sister." Li Feng'er circled around Li Luan'er: "What my sister said is true, he didn't succeed in the two attempts, it can be seen that the wicked have evil retribution and deserve it." ”RS
