Chapter 449: Release
Every time it is fast forward to the wax moon, every household begins to prepare things for the New Year, although the weather is cold, but the people on the street are a lot, food, cloth, wine, tea, all kinds of spices, as well as jewelry, fat powder and other things are sold the most popular.
The streets of the capital are full of people carrying baskets to buy things, and you can also see the shops hiring horse-drawn carriages to deliver goods to various large families.
It just snowed a few days ago, and the snow on the road has not yet melted, although the feet that can freeze on the road hurt, but it can't discourage people's enthusiasm for shopping.
Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin took the car home after seeing Li Feng'er, and heard all kinds of noisy voices along the way, and saw groups of pedestrians on the street, so the bustling mood of the two people was much better.
Li Luan'er sent Mrs. Jin back first, and then bought some small items on the street before going home.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw the quadruplets rushing over with unsteady steps, Li Luan'er was startled, and hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, pulling the four boys to stop, only to look up and see Lin sitting in the hall smiling.
"The four leather boys are clamoring to see you, and I'll send them back."
Lin explained with a smile.
Li Luan'er hurriedly hugged the child over to greet the gift, and took out all kinds of food and toys she bought to share them with her children, and then went over to talk to Lin.
Lin also knew that Li Luan'er was going to the palace to see Li Feng'er today, so he asked a few words, Li Luan'er only said that Li Feng'er was good, and he looked like he was in good spirits, and he was eating well, and he was fat.
As soon as the Lin family left, Li Luan'er pulled the eldest Chen Yi over and asked, "Are you messing with grandmother again?" β
Chen Yi opened a pair of apricot eyes that were very similar to Li Luan'er. The big eyes blinked twice, shook his head, nodded again, and pouted and whispered, "No." β
After that, he looked at Chen Yuan again: "Trouble." β
Li Luan'er understood, Chen Yi meant that he didn't make trouble, but Chen Yuan tossed the Lin family.
Li Luan'er pulled Chen Yuan: "Stinky boy, didn't I tell you." Grandmothers should be filial to their grandmothers when they are old. Can't mess with grandmother, you ......"
Chen Yuan's bright phoenix eyes were full of grievances, and he wrenched his little finger: "Grandma." Glad. β
Li Luan'er had a headache, looked at the small wooden gun in Chen Yuan's hand, and snatched it over: "Where did you find it from, who gave it to you?" You're not afraid to prick yourself either. β
Chen Yuan watched as his wooden gun arrived in his mother's hand. The aggrieved flattened his mouth, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Chen Yi said beside him: "Great ancestor." β
As he spoke, he took out a book and showed it to Li Luan'er: "Grandfather, give." β
Li Luan'er took the book and looked at it twice, and her head hurt even more. But it turned out that Yan Baojia often sat at the table and flipped through books when he saw Chen Yi, but he didn't care if he was panicked, and directly asked him to bring back all the books that Chen Yi had turned over.
The thick book that Chen Yi took had four big characters written on it, Zizhi Tongjian......
Is this a book that children can read? Chen Yi is a little older. I don't know the words, Yan Baojia actually moved him back to a complete set of information and governance Tongjian, said. How much resentment does Yan Baojia have for studying and being admitted to the Jinshi?
Look at Chen Yun again, this kid has a small gold abacus around his neck. This will make my son happy.
The youngest Chen Xun didn't know where to get a small copper compass to take around the room, Li Luan'er had a headache, and he really couldn't carry two of them, so he carried the four boys to Yan Chengyue's study.
When he entered the house, he threw the four boys to the ground, and Li Luan'er stepped in and looked at Yan Chengyue, who was reading quietly: "Xianggong's leg doesn't hurt anymore, is it time to take the child?" β
Yan Chengyue put down the book and looked up at Li Luan'er in a daze, nodded silently, stretched out his hand and hugged Chen Yuan, who was climbing on his knees, and touched the head of Chen Yi, who was sitting on the ground and drawing circles, and then looked at Chen Yun, this kid was standing in the corner and pouting at the wall.
And Chen Xun tilted his head with a finger to look at Chen Yun, and after looking at it for a long time, he also pulled out his little cock and put water on the root of the wall, looking like he wanted to compare with Chen Yun who urinated farther.
Yan Chengyue silently put away all the pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, dragged the four boys over one by one, and then found a literacy book with colorful paintings written by the eldest from the bookshelf, and gave the second child a small wooden axe, took out a woodcarved bird for the fourth child, and carried the third child to the table and let him climb to dial the abacus.
Li Luan'er saw Yan Chengyue's orderly arrangement, and her mood was much better.
Although it is said that the four boys are all born to Li Luan'er, and Li Luan'er also hurts tightly, but she is not very impatient to take care of children, and it doesn't matter if the children of other people tease and hug her, if she can be annoyed to death after years of carrying.
Speaking of which, Li Luan'er's problem was still in the last days, at that time the cruelty of life was by no means something ordinary people could imagine, that is, children of a few years old have been far from innocence, Li Luan'er was once deceived by a three- or four-year-old child who blinked a pair of innocent and pure big eyes, and almost died at that time, and then put away the softness of the child's heart, and since then she has a hard heart to ignore the delicate and soft child, so that she has no patience for the child in the future.
If other people's children are noisy and annoying her, Li Luan'er will not be able to carry it back to others, or ignore it, but no matter what her own kid says, she was conceived and born in October, she really loves it, and she is reluctant to say it, and she is reluctant to fight, no way, when she saw the four boys getting together to play, she threw people to Yan Chengyue.
After a long time, Yan Chengyue got used to it, every time he saw Li Luan'er looking for him with the child, he would stop what he was doing and patiently take the child.
Seeing that the four boys had been sent away, Yan Chengyue smiled and handed Li Luan'er a cup of tea: "What, how is the life of Concubine Xian?" β
Li Luan'er sighed: "It's not bad, I look better than the palace, but Mrs. gave her a pulse, saying that she was pregnant with more than one in her belly." β
Li Luan'er and Yan Chengyue had already thought about this point, but Yan Chengyue was not surprised: "It seems that we have to prepare first, in case we are all boys, we have to think of ways to keep the child." β
Li Luan'er nodded and forced a laugh: "That's the only way." β
Yan Chengyue also knew that she was worried about this, so she smiled and said, "I took the time to meet the rich brother today." I told him about marrying a wife, and he meant to wait until the exam to raise someone to talk about it, after all, he was not very old by then, and it was a good time to get married. β
"Rich brother has always had the most ideas." Li Luan'er laughed when she heard this: "I saw it when he was studying with me, this is a good seedling." β
Speaking of this, Li Luan'er asked again: "How is my uncle and aunt?" I haven't seen them in a few days, and I'll have to walk around in a while. β
Yan Chengyue only said one good word. But I heard a cry. It turned out that Chen Yuan was tired of playing with wooden axes, and when he saw that the wooden bird in Chen Xun's hand was fun, he wanted to take it, and Chen Xun was naturally not happy. The two brothers fought, Chen Yuan pushed Chen Xun with more strength than Chen Xun, and Chen Xun couldn't hold back and cried for a while.
Li Luan'er took a few steps over and hugged Chen Xun, and then dragged Chen Yuan over: "Chen Yuan." You are an older brother, how can you bully a younger brother? β
Chen Yuan touched his head. He picked up his little axe and handed it to Chen Xun: "Give." β
This means that you have to change your play, but unfortunately Chen Xun didn't appreciate it, and looked at his wooden bird crying, Li Luan'er was dizzy and didn't know what to do.
Yan Chengyue smiled and took out a wood-carved tumbler from his sleeve as if he was juggling, and handed it to Chen Xun: "Little four, don't cry." Daddy has a lot of gadgets here, come, Daddy teaches the little four to play. β
Chen Xun stopped crying. wiped his tears to find Yan Chengyue.
Li Luan'er poured a few sips of tea on the side, suppressed her heart and said, "It's a little annoying for the four big boys to go together. It's really better to give birth to one at a time, and when the children are older, they will know that they will apologize to each other. β
Yan Chengyue said: "That's good, say that you grow up in one place, and you have a helper when you encounter anything." β
This is also the case, Li Luan'er has less resentment.
The two of them simply had nothing to do, so they patiently took care of the children, and for a few days, Li Luan'er would take the four boys to play for a while to hone their temperament in addition to arranging the New Year's gifts sent to each family.
Yan Chengyue has nothing to do at the end of the year, most of the time he will take the four boys to play together, sometimes he will take them to the market, and when he comes back, he will bring a lot of snacks, and the four boys will be a little unhappy to leave Yan Chengyue before the year.
This year, there was nothing to do in Layue, and the New Year passed peacefully, and when it was time for spring, Yu Ziran, Gu Ming, and Xing Zhi participated in the scientific examination together.
After the imperial examination, Li Luan'er asked people to pay attention to the release of the list, and waited for several days to wait for the day of the release of the list, Li Luan'er has not seen what the situation of the spring list is like, she has only heard that what the older man is easy to get into the Jinshile crazy or something, and those interesting stories of catching a son-in-law under the list, and at the moment of thought, he rented a room in the restaurant at the entrance of the Gongyuan in advance, and on this day he made an appointment with Gu Xin and Mrs. Pei to see the excitement.
Li Luan'er and the three of them went over early in the morning, drank a belly of tea, and ate snacks and were almost full and there was no movement, but they also saw the black and oppressive heads under the restaurant, and when they opened the window, they also heard the noise in the sky, and after a while, they heard the sound of gongs and drums, and Gu Xin stood up excitedly: "Coming, coming." β
Mrs. Pei also clenched her fists and walked to the window and looked down, as if she wanted to find Yu Ziran's figure in the crowd.
Li Luan'er also understands the feelings of Mrs. Pei, the Pei family has been a merchant for several lifetimes, although the family has a solid foundation and sufficient money, but in the end the reputation is not very good, and the Pei family urgently needs someone to study as an official to appear to change the court.
Only Mrs. Pei's generation only had three daughters, and later, although Mrs. Pei gave birth to a son, but how old is that kid, I don't know when I expect him to study and improve.
And Mrs. Pei's husband-in-law Yu Ziran is from a person's background, and now if she can enter the entrance examination, she can also raise the Pei family, in addition to this, Mrs. Pei will naturally care more about herself, if Yu Ziran can be a scholar, with the relationship between his uncle Yu Xi, as long as Yu Ziran is not the kind of particularly unproductive, he will definitely be able to rise to the top, and when the time comes, Mrs. Pei will no longer be just the eldest lady of the merchant family, but may become the wife of the official, and may even become the lady of the command.
It is for this reason that Mrs. Pei is also extremely concerned about whether Yu Ziran is on the list or not.
As soon as Mrs. Pei arrived in front of the window, Gu Xin also followed, poking her head to find her brother Gu Ming and her fiancΓ© Xing Zhi.
Seeing that several servants came out to hang the list high, many people crowded close to find their names, and some servants also showed the list to the master's family, and after a while, some people shouted that they had been hit, and some people danced with their hands and feet crazy, and some people retreated in frustration, and some people cried bitterly, and some people fainted at once when they couldn't stand the stimulation.
Li Luan'er watched a few tall and strong family members tie up a handsome young man and was about to take him away, and the young man shouted: "Slow, slow, Xiaosheng has already married, and now he has a wife and children, so he can't be tied up......"
Some people who had already seen it laughed out loud, and this laugh washed away the tense atmosphere a lot.
"This guy is a good one, too." Gu Xin also laughed when he saw it: "Looking at the clothes of those family members, their main family must be either rich or noble, this scholar does not admire the powerful and shout that he has a wife and children first, but he is not such an ungrateful person." β
Li Luan'er also laughed: "This is not necessarily, you don't recognize him, but I do." β
"Oh?" Mrs. Pei hooked her eyebrows and smiled, but the curiosity in her eyes couldn't be ignored.
"I know this man." Li Luan'er pointed to the Qingjun descendant: "He was born in a poor family, and he has some ability in reading, and after being promoted in the examination, he was looked down upon by Wang Cifu's daughter, Wang Cifu saw that he also had some ability, so he recruited him as a son-in-law, think about it, he is Wang Cifu's son-in-law, how dare he be caught under the list?" Moreover, who dares to rob Wang Cifu of his son-in-law, not to mention any rich and noble families, even the royal princes in the capital are afraid that they don't have that guts. β
Li Luan'er's words made Gu Xin think of the black-faced Wang Jialai, and he immediately shrunk his neck in fright: "Anyway, I don't dare." β
"That's all you have." Li Luan'er glanced at her and laughed again: "Wang Cifu is darker, but his daughter is very white, only taller, stronger, and a little stronger, and she can't hold her husband up, where does he dare to make any mistakes." β
Gu Xin, who said a word, burst out laughing.
But at this time, the family who let go of Wang Cifu's son-in-law caught another young and handsome offspring, and this time he was properly kidnapped.
"Ah, it's Xing Zhi."
Suddenly, Gu Xin shouted, and the three of them looked down together, but saw Xing Zhi dressed in green clothes and squeezed to the front of the list to find his name, Gu Xin's nervous breathing was a little heavy, Li Luan'er naturally felt it, shook her hand and said softly: "Don't worry, Xing Zhi is very talented in reading, and he will be successful this time." β
Before Li Luan'er's voice fell, she heard cheers from the crowd, and several young people were congratulating Xing Zhi, it seemed that Xing Zhi was bound to be on the list. (To be continued) R580
